Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Indexing and Precis Writing Adopted originally as a time - saving device, it is only quite recently that the value of precis writing as a means of mental training has come to be recognised. The art was long practised in different professions before being given a place in our educational system. Yet, ignoring the question of practical utility, its value is unquestionable, for it involves not only theexercise of sound judgment and true discrimination, but also the study of language and the cultivation of style. While perhaps there is no language which is more expressive and more beautiful than this English tongue of ours, there is assuredly no other language which is so barbarously and callously abused by those who write and speak it. We have too long been accustomed in the study of other languages to neglect our own or to adopt the roundabout method of translation instead of the direct means which' precis writing will be found to afford. The careful study and practice of precis will serve to reveal not only the wealth and beauty of our language, but also its marvellous adaptability. It is with the object of directing attention to this latter point that examples of general literature have been included in this volume, and it will be observed that. Although they all write equally pure English, each author quoted possesses a style which is peculiarly his own.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Indexing: A Handbook of Instruction Manifestations of interest in the principles and practice of indexing in this country may be said to date from the year 1878 when the late Mr. H. B. Wheatley founded the Index Society and printed his well-known paper entitled What is an Index? But the interest aroused in the subject was not maintained. During the following twenty years little was published in text-book form beyond a few guides to the Civil Service Examinations in précis writing and indexing. Since 1900 some meritorious treatises have appeared, but these are not readily obtainable on the London book-market. Hence many students will be grateful to the publishers of the present work for this addition to the literature of a somewhat obscure and neglected subject.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Progressive Course of Pr'cis Writing Part II, which occupies the bulk of the book, contains for the most part official correspondence, minutes of evidence, &c. The exercises are so arranged as to present a gradual increase in difficulty. Some of the earlier exercises in this Part consist of single letters, which it is hoped will be useful to those who omit Part I altogether, if not to others. The Rules given in the Introduction refer mainly to the exercises in Part II, but some of them are applicable to Part I, and reference is there occasionally made to them in footnotes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Standard Book-Keeping by Single and Double Entry: With Appendix Containing Chapters on Precis Writing and Indexing, Commercial Terms, Telegraphic Despatches, and Filing Business Papers The plan of this work being somewhat different from that of those on Book-keeping we already have, a few words in justification may be necessary. That justification finds its ground mainly in the anxiety of the authors to remove, as much as possible, the difficulties which beset the path of the young scholar on his first approach to this subject. Long lists of definitions of terms which are of no immediate use, and a formidable array of the books required are, doubtless, calculated to have a confusing effect upon his mind. Accordingly, no definitions are given at the outset but such as are absolutely necessary. As assets and liabilities are, in this country, so often connected with Notes, it is necessary he should know some thing of the nature of a Promissory Note and an Acceptance. We have, therefore, made some introductory remarks in reference to them. After this, he is brought at once face to face with the ultimate object of a set of accounts; and his every day knowledge and experience, and his own good sense, are then chiefly depended on for an intelligent appreciation on his part of the best mode of arriving at that object. With a View to this, the nature and form of an account are explained; examples are given of the separate different accounts showing assets, liabilities, losses and gains and then a connected series of transactions originating a connected series of accounts, and resulting in his constructing a Double Entry Ledger before he knows even the name of the book. The idea, in fact, has been to cheat him into making it unawares. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
