Excerpt from Written English: A Course of Lessons in the Main Things to Know in Order to Write English Correctly
The object of this book is to teach students to write correctly - not to teach them to write with literary excellence. That instruction in composition, as at present carried on both in school and in college, fails to teach students to write correctly is a matter of common observation and complaint. The reason for this general deficiency is that instruction in the principles of elementary correctness is largely desultory, irregular, and insufficient; to a large extent our students are left to pick up for themselves, through observation and through random notes in the margins of themes, principles that cannot be learned without thorough, systematic, long-continued discipline. And one reason why such discipline is not given is that the necessary apparatus for giving it is wanting. For, although good statements of the principles of correctness in written English are given in innumerable books, and although innumerable books provide good exercises in some of those principles, no book hitherto published provides, so far as I know, a system of discipline in those principles that is adequate in scope and effective in method. To furnish such a system is the purpose of the present book.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the principles of correct written English, building upon a foundation of grammatical theory and terminology. The author believes that knowledge of these principles is essential to writing correctly, and that such knowledge should be taught in conjunction with instruction in practical principles. The book proceeds on the principle that effective instruction requires not only clear statement but abundant drill. It provides abundant exercises composed of words commonly misspelled and irregular verbs frequently used incorrectly. The author also points out common errors such as the confusion of accept and except, to and too, lead and led, and provides practice in punctuation, spelling, capitalizing, the use and non-use of the hyphen and apostrophe. The author emphasizes the importance of developing the power of effective care and straight thinking, which are essential to good writing, and believes that the tasks connected with the thorough mastery of the elements of correctness are well-qualified in this respect. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330659892_0
