LIST OF WORKS CONSULTED IN THE PREPARATION OF THIS VOLUME.

In presenting a list of authorities which have been consulted in the pre ration of this volume, the author makes this general acknowledgmentthat, as usefulness, not originality, has been his aim, he has in some in stances copied verbatim from the pages of those in whom he has found any thing of value subservient to his purpose; in some he has taken the liberty to alter the phraseology, and in others entirely to remodel the principles which he has found scattered throughout these authorities. The works to which he has been most largely indebted, are Booth's Principles of English Composition, Walker's Teacher's Asssistant, Newman's, Blair's, Whately's, and Jamieson's Rhetoric, and Jardine's Principles of English Composition. Other works from which he has gleaned something of value, or hints for the improvement of what he has elsewhere gathered, are as follow:
