Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Irvine´s Dictionary of Titles: An Exhaustive Work on the Correct Use of Titles and Salutations in Writing and Speaking If the reader asks, Why this book? the answer is, Because it covers a useful field that has been until now almost wholly neglected. Remarkable as the statement may seem, there is not extant an exhaustive and authentic treatise on the etiquette of correspondence, salutations, and forms of address. Many little manuals that pretend to give information on the subject are misleading, incomplete, and worthless. A few works of real value are cited in these pages, and many authorities are given due credit. Long observation impels the author of this work to believe that not one person in thousands knows how to address and conclude a letter to a governor, a Federal bureau chief, to the President of the United States, to the prelates of sundry churches, or to the wife of an officer of the Navy. In scores of similar instances the lack of information is equally complete, and there is an embarrassing dearth of knowledge concerning the many forms demanded in everyday commercial, official, and social correspondence. This is an age when, even the humblest citizen may have occasion to appeal to men and women in all ranks of life. That so important a field has been overlooked by authors and publishers in an era of prodigious correspondence, when thousands of mail cars are laden with all sorts of letters, is a mystery; yet such information as this book contains should be within the reach of every person who ever writes a letter. In these matters memory can not be trusted, for many forms are exceedingly technical. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
