Excerpt from A Guide to Technical Writing This little book is intended to help those who wish to write clearly on technical subjects. My experience in professional writing is not long enough to have entailed loss of sympathy with beginners, yet it is sufficient to have taught me the value of a guide in these matters. Rules are useful, but the understanding of the reason on which a rule is based is better. No man can apply a rule intelli gently until he understands when to disregard it. Such hints as I have put together are those suggested by daily practice as an editor, they claim no finality, all of them may not prove acceptable, but if they provoke greater attention to the fundamentals of good technical writing, this essay will have accomplished a useful purpose.
