The Exercises, which form the largest and most important portion of the Work, have generally been selected from books of classical authority; and no small labour and care have been spent in adapting them to the purposes for which they are intended. With regard to the mode of teaching them, the Author begs to suggest, that they should all be written by the Pupils ; when convenient, the short sentences in the class, and the longer passages at home, to be afterwards examined and corrected by the Teacher. Advanced Pupils, familiar with Part I., may use Part II. in the class, and write the Exercises in Part III. at home. The Author has been careful to intimate when the Exercises may be multiplied from the ordinary lessons of the Pupils ; and he would only suggest farther, that Teachers should prescribe only the best models in the language. In conclusion, the Author has to state, that as his ambition has been to produce a useful rather than an original book, he has availed himself freely of all the materials within his reach. He has especially to express his obligations to the works of Murray, Walker, Irving, Smith, M'Culloch, Parker, and Smart. EDINBURGH, November 1838. IV. Words to form Sentences (continued), VI.
