Excerpt from Composition From English Models, Vol. 2
This book and its companion volume are the outcome of wide experience in the class-room. The method of teaching composition by means of the study and imitation of masterly passages of English prose is one that has been recommended by several great writers. Among them was R. L. Stevenson, who gained in this way his own fluent and individual style. In Composition from English Models an attempt has been made to systematize the practice, and the exercises are carefully planned so that the pupil may use each passage as an actual model.
