This work is prepared as an introduction to the life and poetry of Wordsworth, and although never before published apart from the author’s complete works, has long been considered as containing the key to that poetic philosophy which was the characteristic of the “New Brotherhood.” _The Disciplinary Value of the Study of English._ By F. C. WOODWARD, Professor of English and Latin, Wofford College, Spartanburg, S.C. The author restricts himself to the examination of the arguments for the study of English as a means of discipline, and shows that such study, both in schools and in colleges, can be made the medium of as sound training as the ancient languages or the other modern languages would give; and that the study of English forms, idioms, historical grammar, etc., is the only linguistic discipline possible to the great masses of our pupils, and that it is entirely adequate to the results required of it as such. He dwells especially on the disciplinary value of the analytical method as applied to the elucidation of English syntax, and the striking adaptation of English constructions to the exact methods of logical analysis. This Monograph discusses English teaching in the entire range of its disciplinary uses from primary school to high collegiate work. [_Ready in August._ _English in the Preparatory Schools._ By ERNEST W. HUFFCUT, Instructor in Rhetoric in the Cornell University. The aim of this Monograph is to present as simply and practically as possible some of the advanced methods of teaching English grammar and English composition in the secondary schools. The author has kept constantly in mind the needs of those teachers who, while not giving undivided attention to the teaching of English, are required to take charge of that subject in the common schools. The defects in existing methods and the advantages of fresher methods are pointed out, and the plainest directions given for arousing and maintaining an interest in the work and raising it to its true place in the school curriculum. [_Ready in August._ _The Study of Rhetoric in the College Course._ By J. F. GENUNG, Professor of Rhetoric in Amherst College. This book is the outcome of the author’s close and continued inquiry into the scope and limits of rhetorical study as pursued by undergraduates, and of his application of his ideas to the organization of a progressive rhetorical course. The first part defines the place of rhetoric among the college studies, and the more liberal estimate of its scope required by the present state of learning and literature. This is followed by a discussion of what may and should be done, as the most effective practical discipline of students toward the making of literature. Finally, a systematized and progressive course in rhetoric is sketched, being mainly the course already tried and approved in the author’s own classes.
