About this book
William Strunk Jr., who taught English at Cornell University, wrote this short handbook on plain English. Seven rules of usage, among them the comma in a series and the possessive singular, are followed by eleven principles of composition, such as using the active voice and omitting needless words. Further sections cover matters of form, commonly misused words and spelling, and the book ends with exercises for students.
