How To Speak And Write Correctly Summary
| The examples of these men are incentives to action. Poverty thrust them forward instead of keeping them back. Therefore, if you are poor make your circumstances a means to an end. Have ambition, keep a goal in sight and bend every energy to reach that goal. A story is told of Thomas Carlyle the day he attained the highest honor the literary world could confer upon him when he was elected Lord Rector of Edinburgh University. After his installation speech, in going through the halls, he met a student seemingly deep in study. |

| In order to speak and write the English language correctly, it is imperative that the fundamental principles of the Grammar be mastered, for no matter how much we may read of the best authors, no matter how much we may associate with and imitate the best speakers, if we do not know the underlying principles of the correct formation of sentences and the relation of words to one another, we will be to a great extent like the parrot, that merely repeats what it hears without understanding the import of what is said.. |

A timeless classic revealing the power of eloquence. No book rivals its presentation of language as the primary substance of human socieites. "To use a big word or a foreign word when a small one and a familiar one will answer the same purpose, is a sign of ignorance. Great scholars and writers and polite speakers use simple words". How To Speak and Write Correctly teaches people simple English that achieves great results. It shows people how to express themselves to achieve various effects in various situations. No complex grammar or syntax - just common words and the rules governing good and standard usage. A must for the student who needs to improve his academic essays and the manager who needs to communicate well with his staff. |
