SUGGESTED METHOD OF STUDY First, read rapidly the India and the
British in India in the Introduction and glance at the map when
names of places occur. Second, read the essay through as one would
a story, simply for the story; afterward, it may be studied as a
biography and an essay. Macaulay has allowed the periods of
Hastings' life to govern the divisions of the essay. These parts
are readily seen on a second reading; and form the main sections
into which the outline falls. Take up the first paragraphs and
examine them to see whether they belong under the first division or
go to form an introduction to the whole essay. As the introduction
and the conclusion are considered the most difficult parts of
writing to the young essayist it may be well to notice how simply
and naturally Macaulay begins and ends his essays. After the
introduction is examined, each part may be taken up as a unit. Find
what the author proposed to tell in each division and discuss his
method of telling it by settling definitely the function of each
paragraph in carrying on the story. While studying the purpose of
the author, his style of expression may be studied also; but the
more natural and interesting method seems to be to study the whole
essay, division by division, to getA SUGGESTED METHOD OF STUDY
lxxvii at the author's mind, then to return for comment on the
devices he used in presenting his subject. It is impossible to read
the essay twice without noticing his wealth of words and his exact
use of them; and without recognizing the value of his figures,
allusions, balanced structures, climaxes, repetitions, and the many
other arts used to make his meaning clear and his work inviting. So
the passages best adapted to intensive study will be forechosen.
