Grammar and punctuation are treated not as a system of rules, but as a structural part of composi tion. This method has been adopted not only because the business man is not interested in grammar and punctuation except as they are applied, but also because experience has shown that students obtain a better working mastery of good sentence structure and diction when it is taught In this way.

Excerpt from Actual Business English For more than a generation, authors of text books on English have called their books by the title Business English. So far as I know, no one previous to Mr. Deffendall has dared actually to do what is implied in the title. In Actual Business English every illustrative sentence is taken from business; every usage recommended is a business usage; every modern detail taught is a detail necessary to business letter writing; and every antiquated detail ignored is a detail that the business office of today also ignores. The usual text labeled Business English begins with illustrations taken from the classics, and ends with them. This book is different. Mr. Deffendall's sentences and paragraphs come hot from Wanamaker, Packard, Goodyear, and others who pay men to do what Mr. Deffendall is trying to train the student to do. No such sentences as "The lowing herds wind slowly o'er the lea," appear in his work. This is not because such sentences are not beautiful and correct, but because "The growing company moved into a new building," suits Mr. Deffendall's purpose better, and has a stronger appeal to enthusiastic commercial students. That the author has actually done what his title promises, is the first thing that stands out from the pages of this book.

Excerpt from The Faith of a Quaker There arise also the insistent questions which beset all mystics, and which in Quakerism demanded a corporate, instead of an individual, answer. Was the light infallible? Was the claim to it an assumption of spiritual exaltation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
