Key To Precis Writing is a book written by Hugh Latter and originally published in 1906. It is a guidebook for those who want to improve their writing skills, specifically in the area of precis writing. Precis writing is the art of summarizing a piece of text or a speech into a shorter version without losing its essence or important details. The book provides a step-by-step guide on how to write a good precis, including tips on how to identify the main ideas, how to organize them, and how to use appropriate language and style. It also includes examples of good and bad precis writing, along with exercises for readers to practice their skills. The book is designed for students, professionals, and anyone who wants to improve their writing skills for academic or professional purposes. Despite being published over a century ago, the book's principles and techniques are still relevant and useful for modern readers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
