Transcriber's note: Letters with an extra space before them show those that should be removed & letters with {
} around them show those added as there are some mistakes in the book & because plain text is used. (I
changed mathematical & meter but it maybe that they are correct and the others are wrong). I did not change
Shak{e}spe{a}re, mortgag eor & some words in lists. (The N word should have a capital!)
I've used superscript a for broad a (instead of 2 dots under it). & superscripted a & o (Spanish ordinals) before
o for ligatures. A long vowel should have a straight line over it but I've shown them by using a colon : after
them. Short vowels are shown by a grave accent mark after instead of a curved line over the letter. An equals
sign = after a word shows that the next 1 should start the next column. Special SYSTEM Edition brought

The Art of Writing and Speaking the English Language
GENERAL INTRODUCTION
If there is a subject of really universal interest and utility, it is the art of writing and speaking one's own
language effectively. It is the basis of culture, as we all know; but it is infinitely more than that: it is the basis
of business. No salesman can sell anything unless he can explain the merits of his goods in effective English
(among our people), or can write an advertisement equally effective, or present his ideas, and the facts, in a
letter. Indeed, the way we talk, and write letters, largely determines our success in life.
Now it is well for us to face at once the counter-statement that the most ignorant and uncultivated men often
succeed best in business, and that misspelled, ungrammatical advertisements have brought in millions of
dollars. It is an acknowledged fact that our business circulars and letters are far inferior in correctness to those
of Great Britain; yet they are more effective in getting business. As far as spelling is concerned, we know that
some of the masters of literature have been atrocious spellers and many suppose that when one can sin in such
company, sinning is, as we might say, a beauty spot, a defect in which we can even take pride.
Let us examine the facts in the case more closely. First of all, language is no more than a medium; it is like air
to the creatures of the land or water to fishes. If it is perfectly clear and pure, we do not notice it ...
