A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The demand for this book has warranted the publishers in asking me to prepare a second edition, and in doing so I have taken the opportunity of making many corrections and additions. The first two chapters and the last two have undergone little change, but the others have been re-written. I have added a discussion of the subjunctive and of shall and will .T he chapter entitled The Wrong Word is new; so is that on punctuation. To those who care for the proper use of our language the apparent awakening of interest in the matter is encouraging. The engineering profession as a whole is showing more regard for one of its instruments of precision, and the general pubhc is becoming aware of the importance of correct speech, as is indicated by the observance of special days and weeks during which the people of a given community agree to devote particular attention to the improvement of their methods of expression. It is noteworthy that most American schools of engineering now maintain a course in English, and many of them have special classes in the subject. The universities are compelling their students to cultivate a higher standard of writing in examination papers, so that the proof of knowledge must be joined with the abi Utyto convey that knowledge in proper style. Even the mining schools have awakened to their duty in this matter. It may be said that it is no part of their function to teach English, which should have been taught to the student in the high-school.
