A Course of Reading for Common Schools and the Lower Classes of Academies: On the Plan of the of the Author's Elements of Reading and Oratory (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from A Course of Reading for Common Schools and the Lower Classes of Academies: On the Plan of the of the Author's "Elements of Reading and Oratory"
It will be seen, on examination, that the leading idea of Mr. Walker, is mine; namely, that the law of delivery must be derived from the structure of the sen tence. Mr. Walker, however, either because that idea was not a very clear one, or because he wanted leisure or patience for a wide, comprehensive and exact induction, satisfied himself, as I have already observed, with an extremely imperfect development of it. What he left undone, I have attempted to do to give a complete enumeration of the different sentences in the English language, and a description of their distinctive peculiarities of structure. This part of my work, which forms its base, is comprised in chapter fourth. Chapter second, on Punctuation, chapter third on Modulation, and chapter sixth, containing the laws of delivery, with a long train of examples under each for exercise, are merely derivations from chapter fourth.
