Excerpt from Five Hundred Mistakes of Daily Occurrence in Speaking, Pronouncing, and Writing the English Language, CorrectedThis book is offered to the public, not to be classed with elaborate or learned works, nor ex pected, like some of its more pretending compau ions among the o¿spring of the press, to run the gauntlet of literary criticism. It was prepared to meet the wants of persons - numbered by multitudes in even the most intelligent and refined communi ties - who from deficiency of education, or from carelessness of manner, are in the habit of misusing many of the most common words of the English lan guage, distorting its grammatical forms, destroying its beauty, and corrupting its purity. The most thorough mode that could be adopted to correct such errors would doubtless be to impart to the ignorant a practical knowledge of the principles of language, as embodied in treatises on grammar.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
