The recent publication of the improred abridgments of Dr.
Webster's American Dictionary has made it necessary to re-
vise the Elementary Spelling-Book, that in its Notation, as
well as in Orthography and Pronunciation, the series may be
consistent. The modifications, especially in Notation, are im-
portant, as by the new system, the nicer shades of difference in
the vowel sounds are given, and the curve C^) is restored to its
original and legitimate office in noting* the regular short sound
of the vowels. But a little attention to the Icey to the sounds
of the pointed letters^ and to the remarks prefixed, will prevent
any inconvenience or embarrassment either to teachers or
classes.

PREFACE.
This Elementary SpeUing-hooJc is designed as an improve-
ment on tlie American Spelling-book ; a work whose exten-
sive and increasing circulation manifests tlie estimation in
whicli it is held by the citizens of the United States. The
classification of words in that work has been universally ad
mitted to be a great improvement on all the schemes which
had preceded it, and the pronunciation, with few exceptions,
is in exact accordance with the best usage both in England
and tho United States. The classification, however, which
was imperfect in that work, is here completed, and the few
errors in orthography and pronunciation, which occur in that,
are corrected in this work. Indeed, the plan of classification
here executed is extended so as to comprehend every impor-
tant variety of English words, and the classes are so arranged,
with suitable directions for the pronunciation, that any pupil
who shall be master of these Elementary Tables^ will find little
difficulty in learning to form and pronounce any words that
properly belong to our vernacular language.
The tables intended for Exercises in spelling and forming
words, contain the original words, with the terminations only
of their derivatives. These tables will answer the important
purposes, of teaching the manner of forming the various deriv
atives, and the distinctions of the parts of speech, and thus an
ticipate, in some degree, the knowledge of grammar; at the
same time they bring into a small compass a much greater
number of words than coula ^*e otherwise comprised in so small
*'^^'- _ _ ivi5S9778
The pronunciation here given, is that which is sanctioned by
the most general usage of well-bred people both in the United
States and in England, This fact is stated from personal knowl-
P RKr A C E.
edge. There are a few words in both countries whose pronun-
ciation is not settled beyond dispute. In cases of this kind, I
have leaned to regular analogies, as furnishing the best rule of
decision.
There has been, for half a century past, an affectation of pro-
nouncing the English u asyu, in a multitude of words, in which
this sound had before been unknown. This affectation resulted
in changing d before u into j, as gradual [grajual], and t into
chy as in nature [uachure], and one author went so far as to
change s into sA, in words beginning with super, as superior,
[shooperior] ; with a like affectation, d before i in immediate,
obedience, was changed into j [immejeate, obejeence]. The
mischiefs resulting from this affectation, in changing the proper
sounds of the letters, and thus impairing the use of the alpha-
bet, have been very extensive, and can not be easily repaired,
But the good sense of the intelligent part of the British pub-
lic has, in some degree, checked the evil ; and a recent wiitar
on orthoepy has rejected the chu, and dje, smddju, from eveiy
word in the language^
In orthography there are some classes of words in which
usage is not uniform. "No two English writers agree on this
subject ; and what is worse, no lexicographer is consistent with
himself. In this branch of English philology, I have adopted,
both in this work, and in my dictionary, that orthography
which is most simple, and which is now the best authorized. I
ihave pursued the rules which are held to be legitimate, and
rendered all classes of words, falling within the rules, uniform
in orthography If established rules and analogies will not
control the practice of writers, I know of no authority by which
uniformity can be produced.
In this work, the sounds of the vowels in accented syllables
are represented by points or marks attached to the letters. It
is highly desirable timt this mode of remedying, in some mea-
sure, the evils of a very irregular orthography, which can not
be reformed, might be adopted in all printed books. It was
adopted in the Ilebrew language, and is used in the German,
Swedish, and Danish at this day. This would serve to fix the
pronunciation of words, facilitate the acquisition of it both by
foreigners and our own children, and probably contribute to
the propagation of the English language, and of Christianity,!
among distant nations.
'^ 1
PREFACE.
Tlio vowels in unaccented syllables are, for the most part,
left unpointed ; as I am convinced that any attempt to desig-
nate sounds so slight and indeterminate, -would do more haiin
than good*
Letters printed in the Italic characters are mute ; but by
the classification of words here adopted, few of these charac-
ters are necessary.
The reading lessons are adapted, as fer as possible, to the ca-
pacities of children, and to their gradual progress in knowledge.
These lessons will serve to substitute variety for the dull mo-
notony of spelling, show the practical use of words in signifi-
cant sentences, and thus enable the learner the better to under-
stand them. The consideration of diversifying the studies of
children, has also had its influence in the arrangement of the
lessons for spelling.
It is useful to teach children the significations of words, as
soon as they can comprehend them ; but the understanding can
hardly keep pace with the memory, and the minds of children
may well be employed in learning to spell and pronounce
words, whose signification is not within the reach of their ca-
pacities ; for what they do not clearly understand at first, they
will understand as their capacities are enlarged.
The objects of a work of this kind being chiefly to teach or-
thography and pronunciation^ it is judged most proper to adapt
the various tables to these specific objects and omit extraneous
matter. In short, this little b®ok is so constructed as to con-
dense into the smallest compass a complete System of Ele-
ments for teaching the language ; and however small such a
book may appear, it may be considered as the most important
class-book, not of a religious character, which the youth of our
country are destined to use.
In the plan and execution of this work, I have had the ad-
vice and assistance of some of the most experienced iHstructor&
in New York, to whom I would present my grateful acknowi^
edgment».
THE ELEMENTARY
ANALYSIS OF SOUNDS
IK THE EKaLISU LANOUAQE,
Language or Speecli is tlie utterance of articulate
sounds or voices, rendered significant bj usage, for fhe
expression and communication of thoughts.
Articulate sounds, are those which are formed by
opening and closing the organs. The closing of the or-
gans is an articulation or jointing, as in eb, ed^ et The
articulations are represented by the letters called conso-
nants. The sounds made with the organs open, are
called vowels, as a, e^ o.
Sounds constitute the spohen language, addressed to
the ear ; letters or characters, representing sounds, con-
stitute written language, which is presented to the eye.
The letters of a language, arranged in a certain order,
compose what is called an Alphabet,
The English Alphabet consists of twenty-six letters,
or single characters — a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, 1, m, n,
o, p, q, r, g, t, u, V, w, x, y, z. The compounds cA, sh^
thj and ng are also used to represent distinct sounds;
and another sound is expressed by 5^, or z ; as, in hror-
sier, azure^ pronounced hra'zher^ azhlur.
Of the foregoing letters, a, e, o, are always vowels ;
i and t* are vowels or diphthongs ; w is also a vowel ;
and y is either a vowel, a diphthong, or a consonant.
Each of the vowels has its regular long and short
sounds which are most used ; and also certain occasional
sounds which occur more rarely, as that of a in last^
far^ care, tall, what; e in her, there, P'r^ ; i in firm, ma--
rine ; o in dove, hooh, wolf, prove; and u in rude and
pull. These will now be considered distinctly.
A. The regular long sound of a is denoted by a hori J
SPELLINa-BOOK.
zontal mark over it ; as, an' cient, pro-fane' ; and the
regular short sound bj a curve over it ; as, cat, pSr'ry.
Occasional sounds, — The Italian souird is indicated by
two dots over it ; as, bar, farther ; — the broad, or Ger«
man sound, by two dots below it ; as, ball, stall ;— the
short sound of broad a, by a single dot under it ; as,
what, quad'rant ; — the short sound of the Italian a, by
a single dot over it ; as, fast, last ; — ^the sound of a be-
fore T in certain words like care^ fair^ &c., is represented
by a caret over the a, as, care, hair, fiiir, &c.
E. The regular long sound of c is indicated by a hori-
zontal mark over it; as, mete, se-rene'; the regulax
short sound, by a curve over it ; as met, re-bel'.
Occasional sounds. — The sound of e like a in care is
indicated by a caret over the e, as in their, where ; and
of short 6 before r in cases 'where it verges toward short
w, by a single dot over it ; as, her, pre-fOr'.
I, 0, U. The regular long and short sounds of % o,
and u are indicated like those of a and e by a horizon-
tal mark or curve ; as, bind, bin ; dole, doll ; tune, tun,
Occassional sounds. — When i has the sound of long e
it is marked by two dots over it; as, fa-ti'gue^, ma-fine';
— ^when has the sound of short u, it is marked by a
single dot over it ; as, dove, son ; — when it has the
sound of 00, it is marked with two dots over it ; as,
move, prove; — the two letters oo, without marks, have
the sound of the French ou ; as, boom, loom ; — when u
is sounded like short oo, it has two dots under it ; as,
full, pull ; while its occasional sound, as when preceded
by r, is indicated as in rude, rubral, ru'by.
Note. — The long u in unaccented syllables has, to a
great extent, the sound of short oo, preceded by y, as in
\\educate, pronounced ed'yoo-kate; na^i^re, pronounced
Jntiate'yoorr
10 THE ELEMENTARY
The long sound of a in late^ when shortened, coincides near-
ly with that of e in let ; as, adequate^ disconsolate^ inveterate.
The long e, when shortened, coincides with the short i in
pit ; as, in feet, fit. This short sound of i is that of y unac-
cented, at the end of words ; as, in glory*
The short «ound of broad a in hall^ is that of short o in
holly, and of a in what.
The short sound of oo in pool^ is that of v, in pull, and oo in
The short sound of o in not, is somewhat lengthene<l before
s, fAj'and n^ ; as in nor, cross, broth, belong.
The articulations represented by the consonants are best un-
derstood by placing a vowel before them in pronunciation ;
thus, eb, ed, ef, eg, ek, el, em, en, ep, er, es, et, ev, ez.
Those articnlations which wholly interrupt the voice, are
called close, or mute, as eb, ed, eg, ek, ep, et. Those which
do not entirely interrupt the voice, are called semi-vowels, as,
ef, el, em, en, er, es, ev, ez, eth.
Those articulations which are formed by the lips, are called
labials ; as, eb, ef, em, ep, ev.
Those which are formed by the tip of the tongue and the
teeth, are called dentals ; as, ed, et, eth.
Those which are formed by the tongue and palate, are called
palatals/, as, eg, ek, eng.
The letters s and z are called also sibilants or hissing letters.
B and p represent one and the same articulation, or jointing
of the lips ; but p indicates a closer pressure of the- lips, which
instantly stops all sound.
D and t stand for one and the same articulation, which is a
pressure of the tongue against the gum at the root of the up-
per teeth ; but t stands for a closer articulation than d, and
stops all sound..
F and v stand for one and the same articulation, the upper
teeth placed on the under lip ; but / indicates an aspiration or
expulsion of breath without sound ; v, with sound.
Th in think and in that represent one and the same articu-
lation ; the former with aspiration ; the latter with sound.
>S and 2 stand for one and the same articulation, attended
with hissing ; s without sound ; z with sound.
Sh and zh have the same distinction as s and z, aspi
rated and vocal ; but zh not occurring in English words, the
eonnd is represented by si or other letters ; as, in fusion^ osier,
azure,
Ng represent the articulation of the body of the tongue
SPELLING-BOOK. JJ
with the roof of the mouth, la certain words, as'in sing^ the
articulation is moderately close, with a nasal sound ; in other
words, as in finger^ the pressure is more close, stopping all
sound. A closer pressure is represented by nk^ as in hank.
The difference is obvious in hang^ angei\ hank^ but the articu-
lation is the same in all cases. See Section 139.
■ B has one sound only, as in lite ; and after m is mute, as
in dumb
C has tlie sound of k before a, o, and w, as in cat^ cotj cup ;
and of s before e^ % and y, as in cell^ cit, cycle. It may be con-
sidered as mute before k ; as, in sick^ thick, C, when followed
by e or i before another vowel, unites with e or i to form the
sound of sh. Thus, cetaceous^ gracious^ conscience^ are prO'
nounced ce-ta'sluis^ gra'shus^ conshense.
T> has one sound only ; as, in day^ bid. ^
F has one sound only ; as, in life, f every except in of, in
which it has the sound of v.
G before a, o, and w, is a close palatal articulation ; as, in
gave, go, gun ; but before e, i, and y, it is sometimes a close
articulation, and sometimes it has a compound sound, like^';
as, in gem, gin, gyves. Before n it is silent ; as, in gnaw,
n is a mark of breathing or aspiration. After r it has no
sound ; as, in rhetoric,
I in certain words has the use of y consonant ; as, in million,
pronounced mill'yun^ Before r it has the sound of short u ;
as, in bird, flirt,
J represents a compound sound, that may be expressed by
dzh ; as, in joy.
K has one sound only; as, in king. It is silent before n ;
as, in knave,
^ L has one sound only ; as, in lame, m,ill. It is sometimes
silent before k, as in walk ; before m, as in calm ; and before
/, as in calf,
M has one sound only ; as, in man, flame,
N has one sound only ; as, in not, sun. It is silent after m;
as, in hymn, solemn,
T has one sound only ; as, in pit, lap. Before s it is silent;
as, in 2^>iCilf>^*
Q has precisely the power of k, but it is always followed by
u ; as, in question,
S has its proper sound ; as, in send, less, or the sound of z ;
as, in rise. Followed by i preceding a vowel, it unites with
tlie vowel in forming the sound of sh ; as, in mission, pro*
Dounced mish'un ; — or of zh ; as, in osier, pronounced o'zher.
12 THE ELEMENTARY
When it has the latter sound, it is indicated in this book by a
vertical line through it ; as $.
T bas its proper sound ; as, in turn^ at the beginning of
words and end of syllables. Before f, followed by another
vowel, it unites with i and forms the sound of sh^ as in nation^
partial^ patience^ pronounced na' shorty par^shal^ pa'shense, A
few exceptions are, when s or x precede t, as in bastion, chris-
tian, m£a:^io?i,« pronounced hdsifijun, Jcrlst'yan, miJcst'yun*
y has one sound only ; as, in voice, live, and is never silent.
W before r is silent, as in wring, wrong. In most words be-
ginning with wh, the h precedes the w in utterance. Thus-
when is pronounced hwen,
X represents Ics, as in wax ; but is soanetimes pronounced
like gz ; as, in exact. At tlie beginning of words it is pro-
nounced like z,; as, in Xenophon,
Z has its proper sound, which is that of the vocal s, or a
hissing with sound ; as, in maze,
Ch have the sound nearly of tsh ; as, in church, or the
sound of h ; as, in character ; or of sh, as in machine.
Oh are mute in every English word, both in the middle and
at the end of words, except in the following : cough, chough,
dough, enough, hough, laugh, rough, slough, tough, trough.
These words close with the sound of /, so that gh may be said
not to have their proper sound in any English word.
Ph have the sound of/, as in philosophy^ except in Stephen,
pronounced Ste'ven,
Sh have one sound only ; as, in shall,
Th have two sounds ; aspirate, as in think, both ; and vocal,
aa in thou, this, "When vocal, the th are marked thus, (fh),
as in thou.
Sc have the sound of sh, before a, o, u, and r ; as, in scale,
scoff, sculpture, scroll ; and the sound of s only before e, i, and
y ; as, in scene, scepter, science, Scythian,
Two vowels in a syllable, when only one is pronounced, are
called a digra-ph. ,
The pronuiici^tlon of the diphthongs oi and oy is the same
and uniform ; asj" %^Jom, joy.
The pronunciatioft 4i£ the»diphthongs oil and ow is the same
and uniform ; as, in sSdndi, now. But in the termination ous,
ou is not a diphthong, and. the pronunciation is us ; as, in
pious, glorious.
^>
The digraphs at and cltj, in words of one syllable, and in ac
cented syllables, have the sound of a long, in the unaccented
syllables of a few words, the sound of a is nearly or quite lost ;
SPELLING-BOOK. 13
as, in certain^ curtain. The digraphs au and 'iw^ have the
sound of broad a, as in fall ; ew, that of u long, as in new ;
and ey, in unaccented syllables, that of y short, as in valley.
When one vowel of a digraph is pointed or marked, the
other has no sound ; as, ^in court^ road^ slow.
The digraphs ea, ee, ei, ie, when not pointed, have, in this
work, the sound of e long ; as, in nearj meet^ seize, grieve. The
vowels in Section 143 are exceptions.
The digraph oa, unless pointed, has the sound of o long.
In a few instances, words of disputable pronunciation are
distinguished by this mark f .
Vowels, in words of one syllable, followed by a single con-
sonant and e final, are long ; as, in fatCj mete, mite, note, mute,
unless pointed, as in dove, give.
The accented syllable of words is designated by the mark (').
The double accent ('^) in such words as pre'^cious, am-M'tious
(Section 135), shows that the subsequent c or ^ has the sound
of sh.
The double accent in such words as an'^ger, ^lan'^gor (Section
139), indicates that ng are pronounced with a close articulation.
OF ACCENT, EMPHASIS, AND CADENCE.
Accent is a forcible stress or impulse of voice on a letter
or syllable, distinguishing it from others in the same word.
When it falls on a vowel, it prolongs the sound, as in glory ;
when it falls on a consonant, the preceding vowel is short, as
in hahit.
The general rule by which accent is regulated, is, that the
stress of voice falls on that syllable of a word, which renders
the articulations most easy to the speaker, and most agreeable
to the hearer. By this rule has the accent of most words
been imperceptibly established by a long and uniycfeal consent.
When a w^ord consists of three or more ^Hables, the ease
of speaking requires usually a secondary accent, of less forcible
utterance than the primary, but clearly distinguishable from
the pronunciation of unaccented syllables ; as in superfluity ,
literary.
In many compound words, the parts of v/hich are important
words of themselves, there is very little, distinction of -accent ;
as, ink-stand, ckurch-7/ard.
Emphasis is a particular force of utterance given t« a par-
ticular word in a sentence, on account of its importance.
Cadence is a fall or modulation of the voice in reading or
speaking, especially at the end of a sentence.

The pronunciation of the words in the following table is marked
in different ways by writers on orthoepy.
1. Natshure, jointshure, etc., with ti long. This is a false no-
tation ; the words neither in England nor the United States
being ever pronounced with u long.
2. Natshur, jointshur, etc., with u short. This pronunciation'
is commoil in both countries, but not the most elegant.
3. Nateyur, jointyur. This pronunciation, though a departure
from the rules of the language, by prefixing the sound of y
to u short, is at present fashionable, among elegant speakers.
The latest writer limits this anomaly almost wholly to a few
words of two syllables.

The lungs are the organs of respiration. If any substance,
except air, is" inhaled and comes in contact with the lungs,
we instantly cough. This cough is an effort of nature to
free the lungs. i
A finger signifies a taker, as does fang. We take or catch
things with the fingers, and fowls and rapacious quadrupeds
seize other animals with their fangs. !
A pang is a severe pain ; anguish is violent distress.
A lecture is a discourse read or pronounced on any subject ; it
is also a formal reproof.

Whatever is wrong is a deviation from right, or from the laws

Anger is a tormenting passion, and so are envy and jealousy,
To be doomed to suffer these passions long, would be as se-
vere a punishment as confinement in the State's prison.
An anglicism is a peculiar mode of speech among the English,
Lova is an agreeable passion, and love is sometimes stronger
than death.
How happy men would be if they would always love what is
right and hate what is wrong.

THE DOa.
This dog is tlie mastiff. He is active, strong,, and used as a
watch-dog. He has a large head and pendent ears. He is
not very apt to bite ; but he will sometimes take down a man
and hold him down. Three mastiffs once had a combat with
a lion, and the lion was compelled to save himself by flight.
THE STAG.
The stag is the male of the red deer. He is a mild and
harmless animal, bearing a noble attire of horns, which are
shed and renewed every year. His form is light and elegant
and he runs with great rapidity. The female is called a hind ;
and the fawn or young deer, when his horns appear, is called
a pricket or brocket.

The squirrel is a beautiful little animal. The gray and
black squirrels live in the forest and make a nest of leaves and
sticks on the high branches. It is amusing to see the nimble
squirrel spring from branch to branch, or run up and down
the stem of a tree, and dart behind it to escape from sight.
Little ground squirrels burrow in the earth. They subsist on
nuts, which they hold in their paws, using them as little boys
use their hands.

the old man, "then I will fetch you down;" so he pulled up
some turf or grass and threw at him ; but this only made the
youngster laugh, to think the old man should pretend to beat
him down from the tree with grass only.
"Well, well," said the old man, "if neither words nor grass
will do, I must try what virtue there is in stones ;" so the old'
man pelted him heartily with stones, which soon made the
young chap liasten down from the tree and beg the old man's
pardon.

THE COUXTKY MAID AND HER MILE-PAIL.
When men suffer their imagination to amuse them T^ith
the prospect of distant and uncertain improvements of their
condition, they frequently sustain real losses, by their inatten-
tion to those affairs in which they are immediately concerned.
A country maid was. walking very deliberately with a pail
of milk upon her head, when she fell into the following trailfi
of reflections : "The money for which I shall sell this milk, will
enable me to increase my stock of eggs to three hundred.
These eggs, allowing for what may prove addle, and what
may be destroyed by vermin, will produce at least two hun-
dred and fifty chickens. The chickens will' be fit to carry to
market about Christmas, when poultry always bears a good

enough to purchase a new gown. Green ! — let me consider —
yes, green becomes my complexion best, and green it shall be.
In this dress I will go to the fair, where all the young fellows
will- strive to have me for a partner ; but I shall perhaps re-
fuse every one of them, and, wnth an air of disdain, toss fi'om
them." Transported with this triumphant thought, she could
not forbear acting with her head what thus passed in her im-
agination, when down came the pail of milk, and with it all her

be no interruption, he Raid, he should be glad to bear him

THE PARTIAL JTJXXJE.
A farmer came to a neighboring lawyer, expressing groat
concern for an accident which he said had just happened.
'' One of your oxen," continued he, "has been gored by an un
lucky bull of mine, and I should be glad to know how I am to.
make you reparation." "Thou art a very honest fellow," replied
the lawyer, "and wilt not think it unreasonable that I expect
one of thy oxen in return." "It is no more than justice," quoth
the farmer, " to be sure ; but what did I say ? — I mistake — it i:^
ymir bull that has killed one of my oxen." "Indeed ! " says the
lawyer, "that alters the case : I must inquire into the affair ;
and if — " "And?//" said the farmer; ^'■the business I find

"Sabbath or Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday, Saturday." The Sabbath is a day of rest, and called
the Lord's day, because God has commanded us to keep- it
holy. On that day we are to omit labor and worldly employ-
ments, and devote the time to religious duties, and the gaining
of religious knowledge.
*'IIow many hours are there in a day or day -ind night?"
"Twenty-four." "How many minutes in an hour " "Sixty."
"How many seconds in a minute ?" "Sixty." Time is measured
by clocks and watches ; or by dials and glasses.
The light of the sun makes the day, and the shade of the
earth makes the night. The earth revolves from west to east
once in twenty-four hours. The sun is fixed or stationary ;
but the earth turns every part of its surface to the sun once
in twenty-four hours. The day is for labor, and the night
is for sleep and repose. Children should go to bed early
in. the evening, and all persons, who expect to thrive in the
world, should rise early in the morning.
