SynopsisExcerpt from English Essays: Materials and Models for Composition From the Great Essayists Some sort of model is as necessary or as desirable as in the case of Latin and Greek composition. It is said to be the practice of some professors of the art to write and dictate a fair copy but this is a solution of the difficulty from which the modesty of many teachers will naturally shrink. There remains the alternative of using the great essayists themselves as models. It has been held no discredit to Virgil and Horace, but on the contrary a signal mark of honour, that even in their life-time they were used in the Roman schools: and I trust it is no dishonour to some of the 'dearest names in English literature to apply them to this purpose. Though I have done my best to choose essays that in scope and treatment will be serviceable from this point of view, it is obvious that the literary essay cannot furnish a direct model for the school exercise.

The practice of providing school editions with philological and historical notes has had the effect of drawing away attention from definitely literary study. In the Intro duction I have tried to suggest another way of dealing with the text - the study. Of the writer's methods of composition, his choice of words, his use of ornament, the structure of his sentences and paragraphs.
