HEYDRICK. PREFACE THE chapters which make up this book were originally published in the Chautauquan, forming part of the required work of the C. L. S. C. course. It was the writer's purpose to present the essential principles of good writing, free from technical terms, and accompan d by exercises which to a large extent make the pupil his own teacher. To persons who wish to improve themselves in the difficult art of writing, and to schools where a brief and untechnical manual is desired, it is hoped that this book may be of service. B. A. H. |
