Excerpt from Written English: A Guide to the Rules of CompositionThis little book pretends to be in no sense a text book of grammar or rhetoric. It tries to give as brie¿y as possible such hints and reminders as all but the most experienced writers are sometimes glad to have. We have sought, not to treat the subject exhaustively, but on the contrary to omit all but the matters that in practice prove trouble some. A certain mass of errors, due to carelessness as much as anything else, appear in the writing of every Freshman class, and we have assumed that those same errors probably trouble the aver age graduate of the High Schools, whether he is a college student or not. We hope to give here the rules that cover these errors, and Such other hints as may smooth the path of the average writer.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
