Автор:Joseph Devlin Год: 2011 Издание:Книга по Требованию Страниц: 230 ISBN: 9781614270980 2011 Reprint of 1910 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. In the preparation of this little work the writer has kept one end in view: To make it serviceable for those for whom it is intended, that is, for those who have neither the time nor the opportunity, nor the inclination, to peruse elaborate and abstruse treatises on Rhetoric, Grammar, and Composition. To them such works are as gold enclosed in chests of steel and locked beyond power of opening. This book has no pretension about it whatever,--it is neither a Manual of Rhetoric, expatiating on the dogmas of style, nor a Grammar full of arbitrary rules and exceptions. It is merely an effort to help ordinary, everyday people to express themselves in ordinary, everyday language, in a proper manner. Some broad rules are laid down, the observance of which will enable the reader to speak and write correctly whenever called forth to do so. A classic work.
