Excerpt from The Art of Writing English: A Manual for Students: With Chapters on Paraphrasing, Essay-Writing, Precis-Writing, Punctuation, and Other Matters This book has been written for the purpose of guiding the young student into the right path, and of saving him from wasting his time in exercises that are not only of no use to him, 'but are positive hindrances in the way of his learning to write good, clear, and firm English.
