Precis Writing: Passages Judiciously Selected with an Introduction on the Art of Precis - Routledge Revivals: The Selected Works of Eric Partridge 1.º edición

First published in 1940, this book was designed by Eric Partridge to equip students, studying for final exams at school, with the tools they needed to become successful précis-ers. The selection of literary pieces is more diverse than other preìcis books of the time and Partridge’s background as a schoolmaster, a lecturer and a publisher sets him up well to teach the subject.
