Présentation de l'éditeur
There are now so many 8pel Iiibo 4s of different degrees of excellence, more or less inuse in this country, that it may well be thought not desirable to have their number increased; but tlie compiler has been desired to prepare one suitable to be used in connection with his Dictionaries, conformed to them in orthography and pronundatton, and having the same system of notation in maiking the sounds of the letters The design has been to give both the orthography and pronunciation which are in accordance with the practice of the best writers and speakers both in England and in the United States. With respect to orthography, the best American writers vary little from the established English usage. The most noted difference relates to a number of words ending in or or omt ;as, yavar, ho Tio Tfox favour, honour. In this country it is the prevailing pactice to omit die u; though in England it is the general custom to retain it in a number of words, the most of which are dissyllatbles. In the orthcraphy and orthoepy of the English language there are many irregularities and difficulties; and in this book an attempt has been made so to classify the words as to present these irregularities and difficulties distinctly to the mind of the learner, that he may see and become imiliarized with the irregularities, and enabled easily to overcome the difficulties. The greatest difficulty in spelling English words arises from the different modes in which several of the elementary sounds of the language are represented by the letters of the alphabet jand from the use of the same letter, or the same combination of letters, to express different soimds. The long sound of a, for example, is represented in eight different ways jas in fate, aid, hay, they, veil, break, gauge, gaol.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free.
