High School English Grammar and Composition Wren & Martin

Description
Wren and Martin's monumental work High School English Grammar and Composition is available in two editions. One is a multicolour illustrated edition, and the other is a regular edition without illustrations. The material in the book has been further updated where called for. It has been felt necessary in particular to revise some material in the chapters dealing with adjectives, active and passive voice, articles and prepositions. It was in the year 1972 that the shrewd visionary Mr Shyam Lal Gupta obtained the permission of Maneckji Cooper Education Trust for the revision of this book and commissioned me to revise it thoroughly. The revised edition came out in 1973 and was well received. One of the main features of the revised edition was the addition of a great deal of new material (such as the three chapters on structures) based on the new developments in the study of English structure and usage. Subsequently the book was revised every four or five years and most extensively in 1999.
