 PREFACE 
 
 In offering a new business speller, it seems desirable to indicate 
 some of the features in which the book differs from other publications 
 and to suggest methods in which it may be employed. 
 
 It is in some ways desirable that words in a spelling book should be 
 presented in a manner as nearly like the way they appear in ordinary 
 print as is possible. In endeavoring to do this there has been a tend- 
 ency in recent years to neglect syllabication, that other great aid to 
 spelling. In this book the words are divided into syllables, but, in 
 order to retain the similarity to originaLprint, hyphens are not inserted 
 between tlie syllables. 
 
 It is undesirable to respell more than is necessary, for in respelling 
 false ideas are given as to the proper spelling of the word. Only those 
 words have been respelled where there would be doubt as to the pro- 
 nunciation. 
 
 Some general principles regarding pronunciation of vowels are given 
 in the beginning of the book, and an application of these principles 
 has made it necessary to respell only a comparatively few words. No 
 word has been respelled which is in strict conformity with these gen- 
 eral principles, unless it is a word which is generally mispronounced. 
 
 Each lesson is given a separate page, and there is enough material 
 in the book for a lesson a day for forty weeks. Attention is called to 
 the fact that the words in the first sixty-four lessons are grouped in 
 accordance with certain rules for spelling. While many words in 
 English violate rules of spelling, a knowledge of the application of 
 certain rules is a distinct aid to proper spelling. The reading of a rule 
 is of very little use, but when fifty or one hundred words applying the 
 rule are studied, the teacher, by calling repeated attention to the rule, 
 may make it so emphatic that the student will thereafter apply it. 
 
 The book will be found miusually complete in the common business 
 terms, and in the more common technical words used in the various 
 occupations and professions.

 iv PREFACE 
 
 A valuable feature of the book is an alphabetic list of all the words, 
 with a number showing where the definition may be found. The use 
 of this list will enable a student to look up quickly the spelling of auj 
 word he is not certain of, and will refer him to a definition of the word. 
 
 The definitions have been carefully selected and are much more com- 
 plete than in the ordinary spelling book. 
 
 The author advises, where there is a daily lesson in spelling, that 
 for the first four days of each week one of the regular lessons, con- 
 sisting of twenty-five words, be used, and that on the fifth day the 
 review following these lessons be employed. In these reviews, which 
 consist of fifty words, the first column contains words which were in 
 one of the four preceding lessons. The words in the second column 
 are selected from any previous part of the book, and the third column 
 consists of words to be looked up as to division of syllables, pronuncia- 
 tion, definitions, etc., in the dictionary. 
 
 Webster's New International Dictionary has been used in all cases 
 as the standard for division of words and for pronunciation.

 a " sofa, idea, abound.

 OTHER SIGNS USED IN RESPELLING 
 
 rj (like ng) as in baqk, juqction, siqgle. 
 
 g (always " hard") as in go, begin, great. 
 
 th (voiceless) as in thin, through, wealth (not usually respelled). 
 
 fh (voiced) " then, fhough, smooth (usually respelled). 
 
 ^\ are used to indicate the changing of the t and d in these com- 
 binations to cA and j in ordinary speech, although many careful 
 speakers aim to avoid it; as in culture, nature, verdure, 
 gradual. 
 N is used to represent the nasal tone of the preceding vowel in 
 words from the French and Portuguese, but is not itself 
 sounded. 
 
 LENGTH OF VOWELS 
 (Vowels which conform with the following rules are not generally 
 respelled.) 
 In accented syllables a vowel is usually 
 Long (a) if it stands alone. 
 
 (b) if at the end of a syllable. 
 
 (c) if before a single consonant followed by e. 
 Short (a) at the beginning of a syllable. 
 
 (b) in the middle of a .syllable unless the syllable 
 ends with silent e. 
 
 In unaccented syllables the tendency is to lessen the stress on the 
 vowels, although they frequently retain the same quality as vowels 
 in similar positions in accented syllables. For illustration, a vowel 
 which, from its position, would be "long" in an accented syllable, 
 is nsually "half long" in unaccented syllables. The "i," however, 
 is nearly always " short," and " a " is often changed to '• d."
 
 RULES 
 
 F, S, AND L FINAL 
 
 (Lessons 1, 2, 3, 4) 
 
 Rule 1. The letters /, s, and I at the end of monosyllables and stand- 
 ing immediately after single vowels are generally doubled. Other con- 
 sonants are very rarely doubled at the end of words. 
 
 Rule 2. The letters / and s (but not I) at the end of words of 
 more than one syllable and standing immediately after single vowels 
 are frequently doubled. 
 
 Rule 3. The letters /, s, and I at the end of words and standing 
 immediately after diphthongs or double vowels are rarely doubled. 
 
 Rule 4. Derivatives which are formed by prefixing or adding one 
 or more syllables to words ending in double consonants commonly 
 retain both consonants. (Words in all, well, full, and mass are ex- 
 ceptions to this rule, and usually omit one of the consonants.) 
 
 Rule 5. When ly is added to a word ending with a single I, both 
 Vs are retained. 
 
 C HARD AND SOFT 
 
 (Lessons 5, 6, 7, 8) 
 
 Rule 6. Cis sounded hard like k before a, o, or n ; or before any 
 consonant except h; or at the end of a syllable, if not followed by 
 i or e. 
 
 Rule 7. C is sounded soft like s before e, i, or y. 
 
 Rule 8. Monosyllables ending with the sound of k, and in which 
 c follows the vowel, usually have k added after the c. 
 
 Rule 9. Words of more tlian one syllable ending with the sound 
 of k, and in which the c follows a. vowel or vowels other than i or ia, 
 usually have k added after the c. 
 
 Rule 10 Words of more than one syllable ending with the sound of 
 
 k, and in which the c follows i or ia, are usually wiitten without the 
 
 final k. 
 
 G HARD AND SOFT 
 
 (Lessons 9, 10) 
 Rule 11. 6r is sounded hard before a, o, or u ; or before any con- 
 sonant ; also at the end of a word, and of derivatives of that word. 
 Role 12. G usually has the soft sound (like j) before e, i, or y 
 
 viii
 
 RULES IX 
 
 VOWELS 
 (Lessoxs 13-20) 
 
 Rdle 13. At the eud of a word a single consonant, preceded by a 
 long vowel, is always followed by silent e. (There are many cases, 
 however, where words with a silent e at the end have short vowels.) 
 
 Rule 14. A single consonant, preceded by a single short vowel, 
 usually omits final e. 
 
 Rule 15. A short vowel is frequently modified by the insertion of 
 an additional vowel either before or after the. original one. Ea, ei, ai, 
 ay, oa, and u>j are examples of such combinations. Each of these 
 combinations (digraphs) may be pronounced like the long sound of the 
 first vowel in the combination, although several of the digraphs have 
 other sounds as well. 
 
 DROPPING AND RETAINING E 
 
 (Lessons 21-24) 
 
 RcLE 16. Silent E retained. In derivatives formed from words 
 ending with silent e, the e is generally retained when the termination 
 begins with a consonant. 
 
 Exception-. When silent e is immediately preceded by another 
 vowel except e, it is usually dropped from the derivative, even when 
 the termination begins with a consonant. 
 
 Rule 17. Silent E omitted. In derivatives formed from words 
 ending with silent e, the e is generally omitted when the termination 
 begins with a vowel. 
 
 Exception. In verbs ending in ie, ye, oe, and ee, the e is retained 
 before 7?) j;. 
 
 Rule 18. E before A or 0, after C or G. In derivatives formed 
 from words ending with silent e following c or g, the e is usually 
 retained when the termination begins with a or o. 
 
 RULES FOR DOUBLING CONSONANTS 
 
 (Lessons 25-28) 
 
 Rule 19. (a) Monosyllables and words accented on the last syllable, 
 ending in a single consonant (except x or h), preceded by a single 
 vowel, double that consonant when adding a teimination beginning 
 with a vowel. 
 
 (ft) If the accent is thrown back to the first syllable in the deriva- 
 tive word, the consonant is not doubled.
 
 X RULES 
 
 Rule 20. The final consonant is not doubled in derivatives formed 
 by the addition of a termination beginning with a vowel, when (a) a 
 diphthong or digraph precedes the final consonant of the word, or 
 (6) when the accent of a word ending in a single consonant falls on 
 any other syllable than the last, or (c) when the word ends in two 
 different consonants. 
 
 Exceptions. In a few words ending in g the final consonant is 
 doubled, that it may not be pronounced likej. 
 
 RULES FOR EI AND IE 
 
 (Lesson-s 29-32) 
 
 Ei geiieralh' has the sound of e as in conceive ; but it may be sounded 
 like a as in neighbor, e as in heifer, I as in height, i as in foreign. 
 
 le generally has the sound of e as in achieve ; but it may be sounded 
 like e as in patient, I as in pie, "i as in sieve ; and when followed by u 
 or w like u as in view. 
 
 Rdle 21. "When sounded like e, use ei after c, and ie after any other 
 consonant. (There are very few exceptions. ) 
 
 Rule 22. When sounded like a, use ei. 
 
 Rule 23. When not sounded like e or a, ie is generally employed 
 (even after c) . 
 
 Exceptions. Ei is used in a few words (generally scientific terms 
 from the Latin, Greek, or Modern German) pronounced like i, and in a 
 few words pronounced like i or e. 
 
 RULES FOR FINAL Y 
 (Lessons 33, 34) 
 Rule 24. (a) When final y is preceded by a consonant it is usually 
 changed to i when any termination is added except one beginning with i. 
 (6) When y follows t it is changed to e when o%is is added, 
 (c) The y is usually unchanged in derivatives of adjectives of one 
 syllable, and in derivatives of adjectives formed by adding hood, like, 
 or ship. 
 
 Rule 25. When final y is preceded by a vowel, it is usually un« 
 changed in derivatives. 
 
 CEDE 
 
 (Lesson 34) 
 Rule 26. Most words ending in the sound sed are spelled cede ; 
 but three are spelled ceed, and one sede.
 
 RULES 
 
 XI 
 
 IZE, ISE, YZE 
 
 (Lessons 35, 36) 
 (Pronounced iz) 
 
 Rule 27. Ize is the more common ending. A number of words 
 which are derived through the French are spelled with ise ; a few 
 words from the Greek are spelled yze. 
 
 In lessons 35 and 36 most of the common words ending in ise or yze 
 are given, together with a number of words with the more common 
 spelling ize. Most words in general use not given in these lessons 
 may be correctly spelled with ize.

 (6) to form the comparative degree ; 
 
 (c) to denote a person, often an agent; 
 
 (d) as ending of noun derived from French infinitives 
 
 (mostly law terms) . 
 
 OR used (a) to form nouns of agent ; 
 
 (6) comparatives of adjectives; 
 (c) abstract and concrete nouns. 
 
 AR used (a) to imply, pertaining to, like ,• 
 (b) as a form of er.
 
 RULES xiu 
 
 ^i? Fused in nouns, mostly of French origin, denoting a business, 
 place of business, place where things are collected. 
 
 OB Y used with P^nglish nouns and adjectives, of Latin origin, sig« 
 mfying in nouns, place, in adjectives, relating to, of the nature of. 
 
 ^i?F denoting in nouns, persons, things, or places; it is also used 
 to fonn adjectives. 
 
 IVE 
 
 (Lesson 48) 
 
 IVE (pronounced iv) is a termination used to form adjectives from 
 
 verbs. It means doing or serving to do. This tenninatiou is commonly 
 
 attached to words whose root ends in t or s, and the endings are 
 
 usually tive or sive. 
 
 0U8 
 (Lessoxs 49, 50) 
 OUS (pronounced us) is an adjective suffix meaning full of, abound- 
 ing in, having, possessing quantities of, like. 
 
 ABLE A^'D IBLE 
 
 (Lessons 53-65) 
 
 (Usually pronounced d-b^l and i-bU) 
 
 Words ending in able and ible are difficult to distinguish. 
 
 About four iifths of all English words with either of these terminations 
 
 end in able. Words from the Latin are either able or ible, depending 
 
 on the root from which they come. Anglo-Saxon words are always 
 
 able. 
 
 Lessons 5.3, 54, and 55 include, in addition to a number of words 
 ending in able, most of the common words which are spelled with 
 ible, with the exception of words which may be formed from these 
 by addition of a prefix. 
 
 TION, SIGN, ETC. 
 (Lessons 57-60) 
 Words ending with the sound sMin (sometimes zhUn, chiin, etc.) are 
 usually spelled tion ; but in many cases sion is used, and sometimes 
 cian, cion, tian, sian, and xion are employed. 
 
 Rule 28. When the shortest form of a word ends with d, de, ge. 
 mit, rt, se, or ss, the termination added is usually sion. In most other 
 cases the termination is tion.
 
 XIV RULES 
 
 ANCE, ENCE; ANCY, ENCY. ANT, ENT 
 (Lessons 61-64) 
 
 ANGE, ENCE; ANCY, ENCY, are suffixes denoting (a) act or 
 fact of doing wlaat the verb denotes ; (6) state, condition, or quality 
 of being ; (c) concrete fact or thing. 
 
 ANT, ENT are suffixes used in adjectives to denote doing or being ; 
 and used in nouns denoting a person or thing, acting as the agent of 
 an action. 
 
 Words ending with these terminations cannot be distinguished by 
 rule ; they must be memorized.

 HOW TO USE THE DICTIONARY 
 
 Every student should know how to use the dictionary to gain in- 
 formation regarding spelling, the division of words into syllables, the 
 pronunciation of words, their origin, and their meaning. 
 
 The first column in the Review Lessons consists of words which 
 occur in one of the four preceding lessons ; the second column con- 
 tains words which have occurred in any preceding lesson ; in the last 
 column are given new words which are to be looked up at home in a 
 dictionary. 
 
 In making use of the dictionary the first essential is that the student 
 should know the alphabet ; he should know the relative position in 
 the alphabet of any given letter. Brief class drills on alphabetizing 
 will help to give this ability. 
 
 The pronunciation in most dictionaries is inclosed in parentheses 
 immediately following the word. The teacher should make sure that 
 the student properly understands the signs used in respelling. 
 
 Frequently a number of definitions are given for a word. In 
 Webster's New International Dictionary definitions are usually given 
 in their historical order, that the development of the word may be 
 shown. The attention of the student shoidd be called to the fact that 
 the first definition given is often not the most common meaning of the 
 word. 
 
 The origin and derivation of words is usually shown in the dic- 
 tionary.-- The language from which the word originally came and the 
 changes through which it has passed can thus be learned. In many 
 cases a knowledge of the derivation of a word will give a better under- 
 standing of the present meaning of the word. 
 
 After the definition of many words a list of synonyms will be found. 
 A study of these synonyms frequently helps materially in giving a 
 proper understanding of the word. 
 
 The instructor should require the students to look up in a dictionary 
 the words in the third column of each of the Review Lessons and be 
 able to give, not only the spelling of the word, but its division into 
 syllables, its pronunciation, and its most common definition. If the 
 Review Lessons are used in this manner they can be made of great 
 value to the student.
