Step back into a meticulous Victorian grammar room where language is treated with care, curiosity, and a touch of wit. A Desk-Book Of Errors In English offers more than guidance; it invites readers to notice how words shape thought, tone, and conversation. This volume gathers Frank H. Vizetelly's keen observations on common english errors, with notes on colloquialisms to avoid and slang usage kept in view. It functions as a practical grammar guide and a reference language handbook for language learners, writers and editors, and anyone who cares about clear, precise communication. Its enduring themes-usage, register, and the care of British English-sit alongside a respect for Victorian era english scholarship and the enduring standards celebrated by Fowler's Modern English Usage. Historic and literary in its own right, the book stands as a marker of its time while speaking clearly to contemporary readers. Casual readers will enjoy the practical tips and characterful voice; classic-literature collectors will prize the text as a window into a precise tradition of language study and editorial craft. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this edition is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, it enriches any complete language collection with style, substance, and reverent clarity.
