Excerpt from Key to Hunter's Introduction to the Writing of Précis or Digests: Giving the Required Abridgments of All the Exercises in That Treatise
This publication is one of a class which may often prove disadvantageous to the student by tempting him to neglect the proper exercise of his own powers. That evil, however, is probably very little to be feared in the present instance, as we may naturally suppose that those students for whom the Treatise on précis-writin g is more especially designed are so earnestly desirous of acquiring skill and readiness in that species of composition, that they will not refer to the Key until they have employed their own best efi'orts in converting the prescribed Exercises into the required forms. On the presumption of such efi'orts being previously made, the utility of the Key for the purposes of reference and comparison is obvious; and it is hoped that those who thus le gitimately use the supplementary help here provided, will find their progress forwarded with the rapidity, and accompanied with the satisfaction, which the Author intended to promote.
