Excerpt from New Zetetic Method for English Composition: A Series of Progressive Exercises, Containing Imitations of Fables, Legends, Poems, &C., Amplifications, Letters, Narrations, Descriptions, Speeches, Etc
We shall not attempt to point out the faults of the few works on this subject already in use. They are too generally felt to make it necessary.
The book we offer does not aspire to the rank of Rhetoric, as it ought to be taught to those of mature minds; it claim an humbler place, as a first book in the hands of the pupil.
The word zetetic, by which we have distinguished it, is de rived from the Greek verb {area}, which means to search for, or to investigate.
The method we have followed is that which has been pre scribed by the greatest masters of antiquity, and it is of such simplicity as to require no other explanation, than the N. B. Occasionally preceding or following a subject; therefore, with out further commendation of our labours, we subjoin the opinion of those, whose authority will hardly be questioned.
