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.

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.
