Excerpt from The Elements of Style: An Introduction to Literary Criticism
This book will, I hope, Speak for itself; and, in any case, it is not, I think, likely to be assisted by any prefatory words, whether of recommendation or deprecation. But I take this opportunity of expressing my gratitude to many givers of help, criticism, and encouragement; especially to Mr. Sidney Smith, b.a., late Scholar of Queen's College, Cambridge, whose help was invaluable at various stages of the work; and to Mr. J. H. Fowler, of Clifton College, who very kindly read the proofs and made suggestions, most of which I have gladly followed. I wish also to thank my publishers, to whom I owe the index, as well as the analytical table of contents in its present form.
