They are inserted for their exceptional importance in reference to the orator's career, and they are especially recommended to students for that Teachers will find great advantage in using such parts as are not necessary in the regular school course, as exercises in reading at sight, a practice which cannot be too highly recommended, and for which the shorter selections are more particularly intended. reason. |
