,transcribers ,notes3 ,do you remember how to spell pharmacopoeia or ,winnipiseogee8 ,this was for sixth grade6 ,here is a chance to expand your vocabulary or just enjoy a trip to the grade school of #aijj4 ,the original text uses a specialized font to indicate pronunciation4 ,italics are used to specify words or syllables in the text4 ,the approximations given here retain only the emphasis 7accent74 ,see the ,,doc or ,,pdf format for the original graphics4 ,don ,kostuch ,,eclectic ,,educational ,,series4 ,mc,g,u,f,f,e,y',s ,registered ,,eclectic ,,spelling-,,book4 ,,revised ,,edition4 ,mc,guffey ,editions and ,colophon are ,trademarks of ,john ,wiley ,sons1 ,inc4 ,,new ,,york-,,chichester-,,weinheim-,,brisban e-,,singapore-,,toronto ,,preface4 ,in revising this book1 care has been taken to preserve all the excellences that have so long and so favorably distinguished ,mc,g,u,f,f,e,y',s ,,eclectic ,,spelling-,,book3 and the chief changes that have been made1 have been suggested by the evident plan of the original work4 ,the old system of indicating the pronunciation by numerals1 called superiors1 has been abandoned1 and the diacritical marks used by ,webster have been adopted4 ,the ,revised ,speller conforms in orthography1 pronunciation1 and syllabication to the latest edition of ,webster's ,unabridged ,dictionary4 ,exercises have been given on each of the distinctive marks used in the book1 as will be seen by reference to ,lessons #cf-eg4 ,a number of lessons have been added in the department of prefixes and suffixes1 and now nearly all the more common of these etymological principles have been explained4 7,see ,lessons #acf-afg47 ,in arranging the text of the several lessons1 the object has been not to appeal merely to arbitrary memory1 but to associate each lesson with some principle of sound1 meaning1 or accent1 which would tend to aid the pupil in acquiring a knowledge of our language4 ,several distinct lessons on pronunciation are given1 and towards the close of the book numerous lessons of difficult words in orthography have been introduced4 ,instead of indicating silent letters by italics1 as has hitherto been done1 a new type has been made in which such letters are canceled1 thus enabling the pupil to discover their status at a glance4 ,the pages have been enlivened1 as in the other books of this ,series1 by attractive engravings4 ,the publishers take pleasure in acknowledging the valuable services of ,w4 ,b4 ,watkins1 ,d4 ,d41 who planned and executed this revision4 ,,december1 #ahgi4 #af ,copyright1 #ahgi1 by ,van ,antwerp1 ,bragg ,co4 ,,the ,,english ,,alphabet4 ,the ,english ,alphabet consists of twenty-six letters1 viz43 a1b1c1d1e1f1g1h1i1j1k1l1m1n1o1p1q1r1s1t1 u1v1w1x1y1z4 ,letters are divided into ,,vowels and ,,consonants4 ,the ,vowels are those letters which can be perfectly sounded without the aid of any other letter4 ,the vowels are a1 e1 i1 o1 u1 w1 and y4 ,the vowel sounds of w and y are the same as those of u and i4 ,a1 e1 and o are always vowels4 ,i1 u1 w1 and y are sometimes consonants4 ,a ,diphthong is the union of two vowels in one sound4 ,when both vowels are sounded1 the diphthong is called ,,proper1 because then it is really a ,,diphthong1 or double sound2 that is1 the sounds of the vowels unite2 as1 oi in oil2 ou in sound4 ,when only one of the vowels is sounded1 the diphthong is called ,,improper1 because then1 as one of the vowels is silent1 it is not properly a ,,diphthong1 though it takes that name2 as1 oa in boat1 ui in suit1 where a and i are silent4 ,the following diphthongs are in common use1 viz43 oi1 oy1 ou1 ow1 ae1 ai1 au1 aw1 ay1 ea1 ei1 eo1 eu1 ew1 ey1 ia1 ie1 oa1 oe1 ua1 ue1 ui2 as in toil1 boy1 round1 plow1 seal1 coal1 head1 sail1 say1 aught1 yeoman4 ,of these1 oi1 oy1 ou1 and ow are generally proper diphthongs2 though sometimes ou and ow are improper1 as in famous1 where o is silent1 and in slow1 where w is silent4 ,a ,triphthong is the union of three vowels in one syllable2 as1 eau in beau1 iew in view4 ,the triphthong is properly a union of letters1 not sounds4 ,,of ,,the ,,various ,,sounds4 ,all the vowels1 and some of the consonants1 have several sounds2 in this book these sounds are indicated by diacritical marks1 as in the following tables3 ,,table ,,of ,,vocals4 ,long ,sounds4 ,sound as is ----- ----- a

,the ,consonants are those letters which can not be perfectly sounded without the aid of a vowel4 ,the consonants are b1 c1 d1 f1 g1 h1 l1 k1 l1 m1 n1 p1 q1 r1 s1 t1 v1 x1 z1 and sometimes i1 u1 w1 and y4 ,the consonants are divided into ,,mutes and ,,semi-,,vowels4 ,the ,mutes are those consonants that admit of no sound without the aid of a vowel4 ,they are b1 d1 k1 p1 q1 t1 and c and g hard4 ,the ,semi-vowels are those consonants that can be sounded imperfectly by themselves4 ,they are f1 h1 j1 l1 m1 n1 r1 s1 v1 x1 z1 and c and g soft4 ,four of the semi-vowels are called ,,liquids2 viz41 l1 m1 n1 and r4 ,they are called liquids because they unite so readily with other sounds1 or flow into them4 ,,of ,,syllables ,,and ,,words4 ,a ,syllable is a sound1 or a combination of sounds1 uttered by a single impulse of the voice3 it may have one or more letters2 as a1 bad1 bad-ness4 ,a ,word is either a syllable or a combination of syllables2 as1 not1 notion4 ,a word of one syllable is
