Description: "This book was written at the invitation of the Treasury. Its scope is more limited than its title might be thought to imply. It is concerned particularly with the use of English by officials. I do not of course suggest that the principles governing the use of English for official purposes are different form those that govern its use for any other purpose. But there are some faults to which official writing is specially prone, and others from which it is comparatively free." Thank you for shopping my eBay bookstore!
