About this ebook
An excellent guide to English usage and grammar, The King’s English advises the reader on the proper use of vocabulary, the finer points of syntax, and the rules of punctuation, drawing on examples in literature and other sources. A precursor to Fowler’s Modern English Usage, albeit superseded in some cases, it is a thorough study of the English language.
