Almost everyone can be taught to write clearly, so far at least as clearness
depends upon the arrangement of words.

Force, elegance, and variety of style are more difficult to teach, and far
more difficult to learn; but clear writing can be reduced to rules. To teach
the art of writing clearly is the main object of these Rules and Exercises.

Ambiguity may arise, not only from bad arrangement, but also from other
causes—from the misuse of single words, and from confused thought. These
causes are not removable by definite rules, and therefore, though not
neglected, are not prominently considered in this book.

My object rather is to point out some few continually recurring causes of
ambiguity, and to suggest definite remedies in each case. Speeches in
Parliament, newspaper narratives and articles, and, above all, resolutions at
public meetings, furnish abundant instances of obscurity arising from the
monotonous neglect of some dozen simple rules.

The art of writing forcibly is, of course, a valuable acquisition—almost as
valuable as the art of writing clearly.

But forcible expression is not, like clear expression, a mere question of
mechanism and of the manipulation of words; it is a much higher power, and
implies much more.
