 PREFACE. 
 
 The design of the following work is to furnish young 
 persons with an easy Guide to Spelling, and to combine 
 utility with cheapness. In treatii^ the subject, the 
 Author has not only been attentive to the usual classifi 
 cation of words according to alphabetical order and th^ir 
 number of syllables ; but he has likewise taken care to 
 arrange the words in separate divisions, according to 
 their respective modes of accentuation, which he con- 
 siders as an additional and very material improvement ; 
 as the uncertainly of placing the accent, which appears 
 to be the most general difficulty to the young scholar in 
 pronouncing his language, is successfully obviated by 
 this method of arrangement. 
 
 As an additional help to ascertain the proper pronun- 
 ciation of particular words, the equivocal sounds of the 
 letters c, s, and g^ are carefully distinguished in &n easy 
 and compendious method. Thus the learner will ob- 
 
 :■?'• 
 
"^7' 
 
 4 PREFACE. 
 
 •erve that the letter 9, with this mark annexed to it 
 always bears a soft sound like the letter 5, as in ^ell 
 (sell ;) and if marked thus, 9, it is sounded like /«, as 
 in fhafT {tshaff:) "s denotes the sound of z, as in wi'se 
 {wis^ :) •'g represents the sound of j, as in ^gem (gem;) 
 and (/ with the cediile affixed has a similar sound. 
 When such marks are not affixed to these letters, they 
 must be understood to retain their natural and more 
 general sound, as in the words call, house, get. It 
 must be observed, likewise, that in words where h is 
 printed in the Italic character, it is not aspirated ; and 
 wherever any other letter occurs in that character, its 
 sound is dropped. A circumflex over a vowel denotes 
 a long sound, as in b61t.* Where difficulties or irreg- 
 ularities arise, which cannot be thus easily obviated, 
 the scholar is referred to the bottom of the page for a 
 correct pronunciation. The plan itself is doubtless ex- 
 tremely simple. But when the circumstances of those 
 fcnr whom it is professedly designed are considered, this 
 simplicity itself will probably be esteemed a recom- 
 mendation. . . 
 
 The Author regards the rapid circulation of the pre- 
 ceding editions of this little work as bearing testimony 
 of an extensive approbation among the educators of 
 youth ; and he flatters himself that this approbation is 
 founded on a general experience of its utility for the 
 purposes which it professes to serve. 
 
 * For the explanation of single accent ' and double accent " the learttet 
 is itferred to page 140.

 PREFACE. P 
 
 The aulhoritics here principally followed, with re- 
 gard to orthography, accentual ion, and the occasional 
 documents of pronunciation, arc the Dictionaries of 
 Johnson, Webster, Walker, Sheridan, and Bailey. As 
 to the explanatory matter, that of Webster and Bailey, 
 with some exceptions, has been selected ; but where 
 a concise or satisfactory exposition of a word could 
 not he obtained, the Author has introduced one of his 
 own 
 
 To the spelling lessons he has added a few particu- 
 lars necessary for the learner to be acquainted with ; 
 •uch as, a Table of Grammatical Terms, with their 
 Marks and Explanations ; another Table of the Con- 
 tractions or Abbreviations commonly used in print or 
 in writing. 
 
 He has likewise subjoined a catalogue of words ap- 
 parently synonymous ; but which are distinguished on 
 a closer view, sometimes by minute, and sometimes 
 by very striking shades of difference. It is not pre 
 tended that the distinct significations ' these apparent 
 synonymes are ascertained in every instance with 
 etymological propriety or critical exactness. They 
 are frequently exhibited merely according to their pop- 
 ular acceptation, and in a manner which, it is hoped, 
 is accommodated to the ideas and capacities of those 
 persons for whose use the book is particularly in- 
 tended. 
 
 And to render it m jore unexceptionable to youth of 
 
I PREFilCE. 
 
 both sexes, the greatest care has been taken to omit 
 words of an impure and immoral tendency ; as the 
 minds of youth cannot be too circumspectly guarded 
 against the admission of improper ideas. 
 
 On the whole, therefore, it has been his ardent en- 
 deavour to render the Scholar's Spelling Assistant as 
 extensively useful as the prescribed limits of the un- 
 dertaking would permit ; and no less acceptable to 
 teachers, than to those for whom it is peculiarly ap- 
 propriated
