Excerpt from Business English This work grew out of teaching English to college men who were beginning their studies in Engineering. It seemed for various reasons desirable to give such students - along with their work in pure literature and technical English - some in struction in English as adapted to buying and selling, advertis ing and correspondence. There seemed however to be no text-book quite available for such a purpose. A purely elementary text-book, ignoring all high-school English and some of the grammar-school instruo tion, would not do. Nor could the need be supplied by some more advanced book devoted to the principles of correspond ence. What was needed was a book which took into considera tion the best standards and scholarship of college teaching, and applied the established principles of composition to the special problems of business, with due reference to the vocabularies of commerce and commercial law. From this point of view, then, the text of the book was writ ten. When finished, much of it was seen to be Within the grasp of younger students. It was then determined to simplify the text a little further, and to construct exercises which would make the book serviceable in the third and fourth year of tech nical and commercial high schools, in the first year of technical colleges, in business colleges, and in correspondence work. The manner in which this adjustment has been made may be seen at a glance in the exercises under Argument (p.

Excerpt from Essentials of Business English In the preparation of this text, the authors have made no attempt at originality, except as to the manner of pre senting the subject. They have kept uppermost in mind the Object to be attained - the ability on the part of the student to use correct English. With this end in view, the material has been selected from various sources, and so modified and arranged as to produce this result with the least expenditure of time on the part of the student, and a minimum of work on the part of the teacher. No attempt has been made to produce an exhaustive treatise for the few, but rather a book of essentials for the many; nor has any effort been made to speculate upon the technical phases of the subject. The student's need is not theory and comment, but rather the rules and principles, with their proper application. I t is utterly useless to learn rules unless one learns to apply them.

Excerpt from Business English Its Principles and Practice Part I also presents the important elements of good English. 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. The experienced teacher knows that a knowledge of rules and the ability to write clearly are often far apart in actual practice. No essen tial principle of syntax or punctuation has been omitted.

Excerpt from Applied Business Punctuation and Business Forms Punctuation is the use of different characters to separate words, elements, and sentences in such a way as to help to convey to the reader the exact thought of the writer. Every one who reads and writes English, or any other language, has. Some knowledge of punctuation. Many persons punctuate well without ever having made any systematic study of the subject. In fact, comparatively few make a study of punctuation. To study literature is to study punctuation. Every thing one reads or writes is a study in punctuation, for in order to either read or write understandingly a definite regard must be given to the marks that bring out the different Shades of meaning. Conversely, a study of punctuation is a study Of language, of the balance and value of words and their relation to each other. The understanding of the ideas intended to be conveyed by the words used is the basis for good punctuation, for one cannot punctuate what he does not understand. Any one who has formed a habit of accurate reading, even if his reading has been somewhat limited, Should be able to punctuate fairly well. If, on the other hand, his reading has been Slip-shod, his punctuation is apt to partake of that characteristic. A careful Observation Of the punctuation in one chapter of a well - written book, or in an editorial from a high - grade newspaper or maga zine, will result in a grasping of the principles of the subject - for there are general underlying principles.
