A Manual for 

 Writers 



By JOHN M. MANLY 



Head of the Department of English of 

 the University of Chicago 



and JOHN A. POWELL 



A book designed to aid authors and all others who 

 are concerned with the writing of English. It aims to 

 answer the practical questions that constantly arise in 

 the preparation of manuscripts for publication, busi- 

 ness letters, and any sort of composition where cor- 

 rectness of form is an important element. 



It treats in a clear and convenient way the matters 

 of grammar, spelling, and general form about which 

 writers need to be informed, and gives full directions 

 on the preparation of "copy" for the printer and the 

 correcting of proof. The chapter on letter-writing is 

 unique and gives just the help that is constantly 

 wanted and that is not found in other manuals.
