This book (hardcover) is part of the TREDITION CLASSICS. It
contains classical literature works from over two thousand years.
Most of these titles have been out of print and off the bookstore
shelves for decades. The book series is intended to preserve the
cultural legacy and to promote the timeless works of classical
literature. Readers of a TREDITION CLASSICS book support the
mission to save many of the amazing works of world literature from
oblivion. With this series, tredition intends to make thousands of
international literature classics available in printed format again
- worldwide.
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
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.

How To Speak And Write Correctly by Joseph Devlin
In the preparation of this work the writer has kept one end in
view, viz.: To make it serviceable for those for whom it is
intended, that is, for those who have neither the time nor the
opportunity, the learning nor the inclination, to peruse elaborate
and abstruse treatises on Rhetoric, Grammar, and Composition.
This book is a must-have for any student and conscientious
writer.
Learn the Easy Way to Speak and Write Well. I found this book by
accident while browsing through a now-defunct Los Angeles
bookstore/cafe. It was the luckiest accident of my life.At that
point I had been a professional writer for more than twenty years,
but I rarely enjoyed my work, and I felt all of it was disposable
in one way or another. At first, reading this book gave me an
incredible, if unfamiliar, feeling of joy and self-confidence.
Afterwards, I began to surprise the hell out of myself in terms of
what I was able to accomplish. This little book is very practical
and precise. The best plan is to follow the best authors and these
masters of language will guide you safely along the way. There are
chapters devoted to all the essential components to make writing
interesting. Devlin delivers a concise book that allows you to
starts improving your speech and writing quickly. Every writer
should have this book as a ready reference and guide. Get Your Copy
