School boolcs generally contain a few pages, at most, of homonymous words; and rarely are more than one or two homonyms given. The author of this little w^oi^c 1ms beconne so much impressed with the educational advantages afforded by homoriyms, in the more easy and speedy acquisition by children, of a very considerable number of words which, without their aid, wotild have been of tardy acquirement ; that he has en- — IV — deavoured to pick out of " Webster's unabridged " all words having homonymous fellows ; and as seen, they make up quite a nice little volume for family use, for schools, and of general utility to all ages and classes of the people. It has been quite a treat to the author to notice the emulation shown by his own children at the fire side or dinner table, as well during recreation, when a word was proposed ; in giving one or more or all of its equivalents, with, in each case, the correct spelling and varied signification ; and it would certainly be so in schools, where the master or mistress, tutor or professor might institute a system of points ; as for instance, one for the first homonym found by any pupil, two points for the second, three for the third, and successively, an ad- ditional point, as 4, 5, 6, 10, etc., for each further addition to the phonetic series of words. The author has seen the little ones' eyes sparkle with delight at the discovery of each new way of spelling the same sound and being able to tell its meaning ; as if one should [ ro] ose the letter or sound U for example and ask for its consoniuoes, homonyms or words having the same sound. YOii would they all call out together; the word being too oV»trnsive not to be immediately thought of by every one — ewe cries another, and the pupil spells it e w e and tells you it is a female sheep .,- yew shouts a fourth in his glee at having found it : ye w yew, an evergreen tree — hue ven- tures a fifth : h u e hue, a tint, a color, a dye — hew says a sixth : h e w hew, to cut down. And when you look to them for other homo- nyms or at least one more, and for one more again and^'still another ; the children pry enquiringly> each into the other's face, and as if doubtful! that there can po«=?sibly be any other way of spelling the same sound ; and then you help them on enco iragingly with a query as to whether there be not a man's name, having the same pronun- ciation ; and out comes the seventh, or may be more than one, with a " yes sir, yes ma'am, I have ii : Hugh Hugh Hugh. And still are there other homonymous sounds of the proposed letter U, as hue in the phrase hue and cry, signifying a shouting or vociferation — and again, yeW a verb : to rise as scum on the brine in boilinor at the salt works — Yeoo o^' Yeoua river and a walled town of Central Africa (see Lippincoit) — YooTchoo a city of China on the Yang-Tse-Kiang — he who. — VI — And in other respects is a knowledge of homo» oymous words of utility, as suggestive of the several meanings which may be given of a sign in stenography ; when the context is not of itself immediately suggestive of the word intended to be meant by the short hand writer. The author issues, simultaneously with this edition of english homonyms, a corresponding one of freneh homonyms which may be useful to persons studying the freneh language ; as one of the difficulties in mastering any tongue is the very existence of so many words spelled alike or differently and having the same pronunciation. The author begs to acknowledge his indebted- ness to the, to him unknown, authors of school book homonyms, for several words which might otherwise have escaped his attention. He regrets not being in a position to do so nominally ; as, in his fi'ench treatise, he has done^ in the case of Poitevin & Bonnauge who hav^^ edited special treatises on ihe subject* SIGNS AND ABBREVIAltlONS. &. adjective ft.
