Elliptical English: A Course Of Exercises In Composition is a book written by George Simpson and first published in 1858. The book is designed to teach English language learners how to write in a clear and concise manner by using elliptical constructions, which are sentences that omit certain words or phrases but still convey the intended meaning. The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides an introduction to elliptical constructions, including their definition, types, and examples. The second part consists of a series of exercises that progressively build on each other, starting with simple sentences and gradually increasing in complexity. Each exercise includes a set of instructions and a sample sentence that demonstrates the use of elliptical constructions. The learner is then asked to rewrite the sentence using an elliptical construction, with guidance provided through additional examples and explanations. The book is intended for intermediate to advanced learners of English who have a basic understanding of grammar and syntax. It is also suitable for native speakers who wish to improve their writing skills. Overall, Elliptical English: A Course Of Exercises In Composition is a practical guide that provides learners with a systematic approach to improving their writing skills through the use of elliptical constructions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
