of diction it should be Also properly adapted 70
exercise the reader in all the varied tones, inAep-
tons, and ether requisites that belong to correct
elocution.
Four lessons ore inserted without punctustisz.
These will furnish tests of the degree OF inielE-
gence, and of attention to the sense, with which
the pupil reads They may also be used in teach
ing punctuation, and the use of capitals.
A considerable number of lessons have been
selected from the Bible. Apart from the impor-
lance and value of its divine instructions, the
Sacred Scriptures abound in passages unrivalled
in natural impressive eloquenco, and admirably
adapted to the purpose of improvement in elocu-
ton. In what Is calledrhetOricaI dialogue selec-
tons can where else be found at all comparable.
