IMPROPRIETIES FOR CORRECTION
FALSE SYNTAX FOR A GENERAL REVIEW
[Fist][The following exaed for a General Review of the doctrines contained in the preceding Rules and Notes Being nearly all of them exact quotations, they are also a sort of syllabus of verbal criticism on the various works from which they are taken What corrections they are supposed to need, may be seen by inspection of the twelfth chapter of the Key It is here expected, that by recurring to the instructions before given, the learner who takes them as an oral exercise, will ascertain for hi to the particular Rule or Note under which it belongs When two or ht to be corrected successively, in their order The erroneous sentence being read aloud as it stands, the pupil should say, ”_first_, Not proper, because, &c” And when the first error has thus been duly corrected by a brief and regular syllogism, either the same pupil or an other should iain_, because,” &c And so of the third error, and the fourth, if there be so ht to speak in succession without any waste of time, and, after some practice, with a near approach to the PERFECT ACCURACY which is the great end of graular exercise, these examples may still be profitably rehearsed by a ra the intended correction from the Key]
