Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Commercial Correspondence IN my present capacity as Examiner in Handwriting and Commercial Correspondence to the Society of Arts some thousands of papers worked by candidates have passed through my hands. The considerable experience thus gained has enabled me, in this book, to indicate the chief difficulties confronting the student who is striving to acquire a good style of Commercial Letter-writing, to show how such difficulties may be overcome, and further, to impart a knowledge of Commercial Terms and Business Practice. I believe that what I have written will be of service not only to those who enter for the various commercial examinations, such as those held by the Society of Arts, the London Chamber of Commerce, the National Union Of Teachers, the Lancashire and Cheshire Union of Institutes, the Midland Counties Union of Educational Institutions, the West Riding of Yorkshire County Council, etc., but also to all who are already engaged in mercantile Offices. With the exception of a few general letters, those contained in this book are edited copies, with disguised names and addresses, of letters actually received and sent out by business houses in different parts of the world. Unlike, therefore, a majority of the letters which appear in most text-books on Commercial Correspondence known to me, they may confidently be accepted as representative of present-day business practice. I take this opportunity of tendering my thanks to the many friends who have kindly helped in the difficult task of collection.
