Anyone who wishes to become a good writer should endeavour, before he allows himself to be tempted by the more showy qualities, to be direct, simple, brief, vigorous, and lucid. -Henry Watson Fowler and Francis George Fowler, The King's English The King's English by Henry Watson Fowler and Francis George Fowler (1906) is comprised of articles on broad topics of language, including vocabulary, syntax, and punctuation, with a focus on how these aspects of language should be used correctly. While remaining a classic in the field of linguistics, some of the principles discussed, especially in the area of vocabulary usage, have been expanded upon in Henry Fowler's more recent work, A Dictionary of Modern English Usage (1926.)
