The plan for the
second edition of the classic reference work The King¡¯s
English
was dictated by the following considerations: (1) to pass by all
rules, of
whatever absolute importance, that are shown by observation to
be seldom
or never broken; and (2) to illustrate by living examples, with
the name
of a reputable authority attached to each, all blunders that
observation
shows to be common. |
