The Elements of Style is the definitive text and classic manual on the principles of English language read by millions of readers. The 18 main topics are organized under the headings, Elementary Rules of Usage, Elementary Principles of Composition, A Few Matters of Form, Words and Expressions Commonly Misused, and Words Often Misspelled.

Quotes on usage and composition from this book include the oft heard phrases, Omit needless words, and Use the active voice.

This is the first edition from 1918 created by Strunk alone, before Strunk's revision and reprinting in 1920, and before the revised editions by E.B. White in 1959 and forward.

The Elements of Style, was first written by William Strunk in 1918 for private use at Cornell University, where Strunk was a professor of English, and republished by Harcourt in 1920 for the public. The concise handbook remains one of the most important and influential English writing style guides ever published. The original edition of the guide is organized into eight elementary rules of usage (such as using the active voice rather than the passive), ten elementary rules of composition (including the rule of omitting needless words), several matters of form, 49 commonly misused words and expressions, and 57 words often misspelled. The result is an efficient and pragmatic guide to help produce writing that is clear and understandable, in which every word is important. In 1957 while at The New Yorker writer E. B. White, who had studied under Strunk, called the guide a forty-three-page summation of the case for cleanliness, accuracy, and brevity in the use of English. The Elements of Style remains an effective and helpful guide for anyone who wishes to write with greater order, simplicity, and sincerity.

How To Speak And Write Correctly by Joseph Devlin

In the preparation of this work the writer has kept one end in view, viz.: To make it serviceable for those for whom it is intended, that is, for those who have neither the time nor the opportunity, the learning nor the inclination, to peruse elaborate and abstruse treatises on Rhetoric, Grammar, and Composition.

This book is a must-have for any student and conscientious writer.

The Elements of Style (1918), by William Strunk, Jr., and E..B. White, is an American English writing style guide. It is the best-known, most influential prescriptive treatment of English grammar and usage, and often is required reading and usage in U.S. high school and university composition classes. This edition of The Elements of Style details eight elementary rules of usage, ten elementary principles of composition, a few matters of form, and a list of commonly misused words and expressions.

Before there was Strunk and White, there was just Strunk, Jr. Originally, Strunk produced his style guide for use in his own classes. But in 1920, the book was published and made available for wider use. Since 1920, many editions and revisions of Elements of Style have been produced, most famously enhanced by E.B. White in 1959. Still, sometimes its nice to have the original. Sometimes its nice to see how it all began. For people who resonate with that, this edition, a carefully reconstructed facsimile edition of the one published in 1920, will be a true treasure.

Note, this edition is NOT an 'optically character recognition' (OCR) scanned edition. It is a high quality facsimile. Nonetheless, the reader should be aware that as facsimile it will contain both the glories and the imperfections of the original.
