Including Instructions for the arrangement of the different parts of a Letter, the Address, &c. By William B. Dick. The Letters are all original, and serve as eminent models of matter, expression and style, in plain but well-chosen language and clearness of diction; the great variety of letters on each subject offers a wide field for choice, and with, perhaps, a little modification could be made available for every possible contingency.
