Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Alphabet of Rhetoric: With a Chapter on Elocution, Intended as a Familiar Companion for All That Care to Speak and Write Correctly Language is the most elastic of all things; and perhaps English, being the most composite of all languages, is also the most elastic. For this reason, its effective use is almost as much an art as a science. Hardly any document that ever is written in it can be constructed on what may be called mechanical principles. This fact becomes especially apparent when we observe the difficulties that foreigners encounter in trying to master it. And when we consider critically our own use of our native speech, and observe the numerous molehills that rise between synonyms, and the obscure pitfalls of the tenses, we have little reason to smile at the struggles of the foreigner. It would be inexcusably rash for the most practised rhetorician to set himself up as an authority. But any one that has studied the subject may make helpful suggestions for others, and will certainly learn how much he needs them in return. I wish the reader to look upon this book, not as an authority, but as a reminder, from one who is simply a fellow student.
