Excerpt from School English: A Manual for Use in Connection With the Written English Work of Secondary SchoolsThe old-style text-books of rhetoric are fast being te placed by books written with these aims more distinctly in view, but in many cases the multiplication of rules, their illogical classification, or the addition of erroneous or irrelevant matter, has impaired the usefulness of these books, and not infrequently time is wasted on examples not worthy of the attention of intelligent scholars. The work now presented provides what the author believes to be a logical classification of the best directions for avoiding errors and securing a good style. Under each rule are explained the ways in which it is most frequently violated one or two exam ples are given and corrected, and other examples are added, to be corrected by the pupil. Many of these examples have been taken from the work of school or college pupils, or from the pages of magazines and newspapers.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
