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
keep within the pale of propriety in oral and written language.
Many idiomatic words and expressions, peculiar to the language,
have been given, besides which a number of the common mistakes and
pitfalls have been placed before the reader so that he may know and
avoid them.
