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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe writer has to acknowledge his indebtedness to no one in particular, but to all in general who have ever written on the subject. The book goes forth-a finger-post on the road of language pointing in the right direction. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Intel Premium Book","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45129263349911,"sku":"9781805473961","price":1321.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781805473961.webp?v=1767651724","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/how-to-speak-and-write-correctly-elaborate-and-abstruse-treatises-on-rhetoric-grammar-and-composition-9781805473961","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
