Excerpt from Practical English Grammar, and Business Correspondence: For Use in Business Colleges, Normal and High Schools, and Advanced Classes in the Public Schools

This book is designed to afford such knowledge of the construction of the English language as will render the pupils utterances, whether vocal or written, practically faultless; and also to provide him important aid in securing knowledge of, and facility in conducting business correspondence.

All pupils in the higher grades of schools have considerable familiarity with the construction of the language - many a critical knowledge; yet nearly all are habitually given to mistakes in its use which do injustice to the training they have received, and which fix upon them a character for ignorance of simple yet important facts, with which their education was designed to render them familiar. Such lapses, while very conspicuous, are less in number than the casual observer would suppose, even in the most illiterate, as the vocabulary and set expressions of every person are limited. The correction of a few errors in the most ignorant persons use of the language would virtually correct his speech.

It is not claimed that either subject has been exhausted, as the mission of the book is to teach only those features of grammar that are of the greatest importance, and which may be acquired within a reasonable period of time; and to afford such hints regarding the manner of conducting correspondence as will, if practiced, result in creditable business letters.
