tions, like other deyices which come dangerously near palpable artificiality, seems certainly not to have developed during the past century or so ; and that the inevitable hastiness of much modem style makes in- telligent coherence in the use of connectives far less common than it might well be. But save for the pal- pable artificiality which good use condemns in those who blindly follow the principle of parallel construc- tion, there is nothing in modem usage which should stand in the way of a...ny one who intelligently tries to make paragraphs coherent. To make as simple as I could the principles which may govern the planning of paragraphs, — the same principles, I cannot too often repeat, which govern any literary composition, — I have laid them down very dogmatically; and the words in which I have stated them sound dangerously like absolute rules o| style.
