Written English : A Course of Lessons in the Main Things to Know in Order to Write English Correctly (Classic Reprint) by Edwin C Woolley
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.
