Book Description
This book is in no respect an addition to the already large number of Rhetorics and other works on the theory and mysteries of style. It is strictly a manual for school-work, and has been made with special reference to the rational remodeling recently accomplished, or now in the way of being accomplished, in the courses of study in our public schools -- a remodeling in which Language-training for the first time receives the attention that is its due. It is believed that inquiring teachers will find it in harmony with their views and aims. It has seemed that there is need of a school manual of prose composition of medium size, arranged on a simple and natural plan, and designed, not to teach the theory of style and criticism, but to give schoolchildren between the ages of twelve and fifteen a fair mastery of the art of writing good English for the ordinary uses of life. Such is the present book. It is believed that the books now form a closely connected series, embodying a progressive course of development, the outlines of which may be thus set forth: 1. Language Primer-mainly practice. 2. New Language Lessons-theory and practice (i.e., grammar and composition) in about equal proportions. 3. New English Grammar and New School Composition-the two studies differentiated, but simultaneously pursued. To the thousands of teachers who gave the Language Series a reception exceptional in the history of textbooks, the New Language Series is submitted as being more worthy of their acceptance, and a nearer approach to their ideal. --Harper & Brothers' Descriptive List of Their Publications [1880]
