This book is intended for use in English courses in which the practice of composition is combined with the study of literature. It aims to give in brief space the principal requirements of plain English style. It aims to lighten the task of instructor and student by concentrating attention (in Chapters II and III) on a few essentials, the rules of usage and principles of composition most commonly violated. The numbers of the sections may be used as references in correcting manuscript.

The book covers only a small portion of the field of English style, but the experience of its writer has been that once past the essentials, students profit most by individual instruction based on the problems of their own work, and that each instructor has his own body of theory, which he prefers to that offered by any textbook.

The writer's colleagues in the Department of English in Cornell University have greatly helped him in the preparation of his manuscript. Mr. George McLane Wood has kindly consented to the inclusion under Rule 11 of some material from his Suggestions to Authors.

The following books are recommended for reference or further study: in connection with Chapters II and IV, F. Howard Collins, Author and Printer (Henry Frowde); Chicago University Press, Manual of Style; T. L. De Vinne Correct Composition (The Century Company); Horace Hart, Rules for Compositors and Printers (Oxford University Press); George McLane Wood, Extracts from the Style-Book of the Government Printing Office (United States Geological Survey); in connection with Chapters III and V, Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch, The Art of Writing (Putnams), especially the chapter, Interlude on Jargon; George McLane Wood, Suggestions to Authors (United States Geological Survey); John Leslie Hall, English Usage (Scott, Foresman and Co.); James P. Kelly, Workmanship in Words (Little, Brown and Co.).

It is an old observation that the best writers sometimes disregard the rules of rhetoric. When they do so, however, the reader will usually find in the sentence some compensating merit, attained at the cost of the violation. Unless he is certain of doing as well, he will probably do best to follow the rules. After he has learned, by their guidance, to write plain English adequate for everyday uses, let him look, for the secrets of style, to the study of the masters of literature.

当年定价2.25元的书,到如今还经久不衰,真是难得。 由于外企工作的原因,每天得要写好多邮件,为了让自己写出来的句子更加native,也更加易懂,我选择读起了此书。它对我的帮助很大,让我知道了在写作的时候哪些词是完全可以忽略不写的,如:The fact that, person...

这书开头非常简单,但翻到最后才发觉朴实无华的语法讲要背后的学问。 作为一名阅读爱好者,读到优秀的文字时,其实我不会特别有感觉。因为读的时候早就已经顺着作者的思想游走了,哪里顾得了去细细体味措词造句背后的艺术。可是,读到不好的文字时,却常常难受得抓耳挠腮。啰...

想學好英文寫作要怎辦?老友介紹這本書給我!聽說當年一流的美國大學不論是新聞系、英文系、公共關係學系等,都要求所有學生背頌整本書,因為它實在夠好!我覺得有其道理,因為懶惰的我在看過後確實忘記得一乾二淨!
