Moderation Advised.

The practice of the above method is so attractive to a beginner when it is applied to single sentences, that he is apt‌ to work at it too long at a time. Let him not at the outset analyse and reconstruct more than from 3 to 4 sentences at one sitting or lesson, but let him do what he attempts in the most thorough manner, and after a time he will not find it necessary to apply this method in future memorisations.
