Excerpt from Putnam's Phrase Book: An Aid to Social Letter Writing and to Ready and Effective Conversation, With Over 100 Model Social Letters and 6000 of the World's Best English Phrases Some of the social letters were written by using the phrases in the dictionary section of the book, others were suggested by the perusal of the same. The very fact that one keeps his eyes open for new expressions tends to make him more careful of his own phraseology, and to encourage the constant improvement of his own style either by the addition of old phrases, new to him, or by the coining of new ones. Whenever and wherever I have found in any volume, magazine, newspaper, or in conversa tion, a usable phrase I have made note of it. This method has given me the material for the book.' As far as possible I have endeavored to collect phrases which are the common speech of all, phrases which are not quotations, and are the property of all. I am very greatly indebted to all I have heard and read, especially to the standard authors. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
