Description
Excerpt from Errors in English Composition, Vol. 1 of 2: In Two Parts
This book is called Errors in English Composition, because it chie?y consists of examples in which some error in Grammar, Construction, or Order occurs. The sentences, which the student is asked to correct, improve, or justify, have been taken both from literature and from journalism, mainly, however, from the latter, and mainly from very recent journalism. They are likely, therefore, to Show the kinds of inaccuracies which (if my views on such matters are sound) are most prevalent at the present day, and against which a writer who desires to be accurate has most need to be on his guard.
