PREFACE. 
 
 THB present work is designed to carry out the general principles contained in the 
 ** Primary Speller," although some of the features of that work have given place in this to 
 others of more importance to the advanced scholar, and to such exercises as better adapt 
 the hook to the wants of those schools in which only one Speller is used. 
 
 As in the u Primary Speller, 11 we have adopted here, mainly, the orthography and pro- 
 nunciation of Dr. Webster, as contained in the University edition of his Dictionary, edited 
 by Prof. Goodrich. With only a few exceptions, this edition does not differ materially in 
 these particulars from the valuable work of Dr. Worcester. In accordance with both 
 Webster and Worcester, we have designated the sound of w, when preceded by r in the 
 same syllable, as equivalent to oo. so that rule is pronounced rool, and not rule ; although 
 we believe growing usage favors the long sound of u in all words of this class, the same 
 as in mule, tune, etc. We would have preferred, in accordance with Johnson, and the 
 early editions of Webster, to give to long u but one sound, as heard in mute, but the pres- 
 ent weight of authority seems to be against it. 
 
 In his system of syllabication, Webster aimed to designate the primitive word in all de- 
 rivative forms : hence he has bak'er, mak'er, rid'er, writ'er, etc., instead of ba'ker, ma'- 
 ker, ri'der, wri'ter, as given by Walker, Worcester, and others. We see no reason to 
 believe that Webster designed his system of syllabication to be curried out in actual oral 
 spelling, although we believe it has been rigidly adhered to in most of the Spelling-books 
 based upon his system of orthography. We have generally endeavored to give that di- 
 vision of words into syllables which best represents their actual syllabication in spoken 
 language, but we have retained the system of Webster when it is not too plainly incon- 
 sistent with this usage. To avoid the anomaly of giving to c the sound of s, when it fol- 
 lows a vowel in the same syllable, we have written ve ra'ci ty, ne'ces sa ry, so li'ci tude, 
 etc., instead of ve rac'i ty, nec'es sa ly, so lic'i tude, as given by Webster. In the marks 
 indicating the sounds of the letters, we have aimed to be sufficiently full and minute where 
 either teacher or pupil could possibly need a guide, but we have not thought it desira- 
 ble to encumber the text with them where they would be useless, as in the hundreds of 
 cases of c sounded like &, and of s like z, in which the pupil could scarcely, by any possi- 
 bility, avoid giving the correct sounds. 
 
 The following are the leading points in which the present work differs essentially from 
 other Spelling-books. 
 
 I. THE REGULAR SPELLING LESSONS. 
 
 In the regular spelling lessons, which occupy the larger portion of the work, not only 
 are the words arranged in strict accordance with their accented vowel sounds, but they 
 are further classified under the heads of ihe different parts of speech to which they belong; 
 and a word which may be used in two or more parts of speech is found under its appropri- 
 ate heading. Some of the advantages of this latter mode of arrangement are the follow- 
 ing: 
 
 By habitually associating the words with the offices ivhich they perform in written or 
 spoken language, pupils will necessarily gain some considerable knowledge of their mean- 
 ing and uses ; and if, in connection with the spelling lessons, the teacher will frequently 
 direct attention to the definitions of the Several parts of speech, not only will this knowl- 
 edge of words be greatly extended, but the radimentary principles of English Grammar 
 also will be easily acquired. 
 
 Where the same words are classed as belonging to two parts of speech as being bot'h 
 " nouns and verbs," or u adjectives and nouns, 11 for example it would be well for the 
 teacher to accustom the pupils to form sentences showing their use in both senses, as il- 
 lustrated in some of the early lessons. 
 
 IT. WOKDS USUALLY CALLED SYNONYMS. 
 
 We have taken a large number of the so-called " synonyms" found in our language, 
 and have grouped the words of similar meaning in couplets, triplets, etc., with a brief 
 
iv PREFACE. 
 
 phrase or sentence designed to give an example of the appropriate use of each. See the 
 u Exercises" from page 33 to page 137 inclusive. 
 
 The design of this arrangement is not only to furnish suitable spelling lessons formed 
 of words used in sentences, and thereby having a meaning attached to them, but also to 
 accustom pupils to the appropriate use of a large class of words in which mistakes most 
 frequently occur, even among good writers. " The great source of a loose style," says 
 Dr. Blair, "is the injudicious use of synonymous terms." If we would guard against this 
 fault, we must early familiarize children to the best usage of this class of words, and by 
 doing this we shall do much to cultivate in them nice discrimination and a correct taste. 
 We have adopted the plan pursued in this work with this end in view, and without at all 
 encroaching upon the usefulness of the book for mere spelling purposes. The plan is very 
 different in principle from the system of arranging synonyms as mutual definers, as has 
 been done by several other compilers of Spelling-books. The following are some of the 
 objections to the system of defining one word by another in a work designed for primary 
 instruction. 
 
 1. So far as the pupil is concerned, the word used as a definer frequently needs defining 
 as much as the word defined. 
 
 2. When it is considered that there are probably not a dozen words in our language for 
 which we can substitute exact synonyms that is, words which in all cases will convey 
 precisely the same meaning as the words to be defined, it must be evident that the meth- 
 od of defining by synonyms is exceedingly faulty, as the following examples will show. 
 
 Although the words unavoidably and inevitably are given in our dictionaries, and in 
 several Spelling-books, as mutual definers, and are regarded as synonyms, yet it will be 
 found that, in their use in sentences, they can seldom be made to exchange places with 
 propriety. Thus we would say, 
 
 He was unavoidably detained ; 
 
 He will be inevitably killed ; 
 
 but it would not be in accordance with good usage to say, " He was inevitably detained ;" 
 u He will be unavoidably killed." 
 Although what is imperceptible is, manifestly, not perceivable, yet we should say, 
 
 The imperceptible progress of the siege ; 
 The unperceivable approach of the enemy ; 
 
 meaning, in the one case, that the progress was so slow as to be imperceptible, and, in the 
 other, that the enemy came by such a route that their approach was unperceived by us. 
 
 It is true that what is interminable is, from the derivation of the word, without end or 
 limit, yet we should say, 
 
 Interminable disputes ; 
 
 Illimitable space ; 
 
 and not ''interminable space," nor "illimitable disputes." 
 
 In one Spelling-book we find the words impregnable and invincible used as mutual de- 
 finers, and also the words florid &iid.Jiowery. Good usage would require us to say, 
 
 The fortress is impregnable ; 
 
 The army is invincible ; 
 
 A florid complexion ; 
 
 A flowery lawn ; 
 
 but we should not say, "The fortress is invincible," "The army is impregnable;" nor 
 should we say " A flowery complexion," or " A florid lawn." And even where two words, 
 from their derivation, would seem to be strictly synonymous, each has, generally, its own 
 peculiar application : wenj it not so theTe would have been no necessity for both words in 
 the language. Thus daily and diurnal have the same meaning ; but usage has made the 
 former the colloquial, and the latter the scientific term. Thus we say " A physician's 
 daily visits," not his diurnal visits; u the earth's diurnal motion," not the earth's daily 
 motion. 
 
 But, for further illustrations of the principle, we would refer to all the EXERCISES in 
 synonyms given in the following pages. See especially u Miscellaneous," p. 127-129, in 
 which all the synonymous words are taken from a single page in one of our Spelling-books, 
 where all the couplets are used as mutual definers. 
 
 It is not pretended that in no cases can the synonymous words which we have em- 
 braced in brackets be made to exchange places with propriety, but that few of them, com- 
 paratively, can be thus mutually substituted for each' other, and that, in the phrases or 
 partial sentences in which the synonymous terms are exhibited, we have endeavored to 
 conform to the best usage. We believe, moreover, that pupils will acquire a much better 
 knowledge of the shades of meaning of this class of words by the methods herein indi- 
 cated, than would be obtained by any amount of study given to them as 'mutual definers 
 the only way in which they can be studied in our dictionaries or in previous Spelling- 
 books. The familiarity with synonvms thus acquired will, furthermore, produce this 
 beneficial re?uH : it will aid the youthful writer where he most needs assistance, by giv 
 
PREFACE. v 
 
 ing him several words of allied meaning to choose from, while, at the same time, it will 
 furnish him an example of the appropriate usage of each. Those who have given in- 
 struction in the writing of compositions Avill appreciate the importance of the aid which 
 this feature of the work will render their pupils. It would be a profitable exercise for 
 advanced pupils to write several complete sentences for each of the words grouped as syn- 
 onyms, as they would thereby the better learn to apply the distinctions which are briefly 
 illustrated in the book. 
 
 III. THE DEFINING LESSONS. 
 (See page 150 to page 166 inclusive.) 
 
 A third prominent feature of the present work is found in the Defining Lessons, begin- 
 ning on page 150, embracing a list of common words, each of which has various mean- 
 Jugs, or shades of meaning, according to its application. If the pupil should be required 
 to learn the definitions, or varied uses, of any words in the language, he should certainly 
 learn those of the words of this class ; but it is very evident that the prevalent system of 
 defining these words by words is of little practical utility, for the application is still to be 
 learned by the use of the words in sentences. There is, moreover, in the old or diction- 
 ary method, the certainty either of encumbering the mind of the pupil with mere words 
 that convey no ideas, or of giving wrong ideas. We will briefly illustrate by examples 
 from the Dictionary. 
 
 COUN'SEL, n., advice ; opinions ; an advocate. 
 
 CRAFT, n., artifice; trade ; small vessels. 
 
 CHARGE, v., to make an onset; to load; to intrust; to set to the account of; to accuse; 
 to command. 
 
 Such a variety of meanings, without any application of the words, is enough to confuse 
 any child, and is sufficient to show the absurdity of dictionary definitions for purposes of 
 primary instruction. The object of defining words in this manner, in the dictionary, is 
 that, when the reader finds a word used with a new or peculiar signification (which he 
 generally learns from the context), he may refer to the dictionary to ascertain if this par- 
 ticular usage of the word is authorized. The dictionary is designed to be referred to, for 
 a particular word, only after the loord has been met with in reading or conversation. The 
 use of the word grew up before the dictionary was made ; and in the instruction of chil- 
 dren we should, as far as possible, follow the same order we should show the use of the 
 word before giving its formal definition, for it is the context only which clearly determines 
 the meaning in any particular instance. In contrast with the word method, or dictionary 
 method of definitions, we give an illustration of the system adopted in the "Defining 
 Lessons" of the present work, using the same words as above. 
 
 COUN'SEL, n. We gave him good counsel (advice). Let a man keep his own counsel 
 (opinions ; purposes). He was questioned by the plaintiff's counsel (advocate ; lawyer). 
 
 CRAFT, n. He accomplished his purposes by craft (artifice). He belongs to the craft 
 of masons (trade ; occupation). There are many small craft in the river (small vessels). 
 
 CHARGE, v. We charged the enemy (attacked; made an onset upon). We charged our 
 muskets (loaded). The officer was charged with despatches (intrusted). To whom shall 
 we charge the goods ? (as a debt). He is charged with theft (accused of). We charge you 
 to return immediately (command). 
 
 It would be a very hard task for a child to learn the several significations of the verb 
 u to charge, 11 as taken from the dictionary, but the lesson becomes at once interesting 
 and profitable when the meaning is first indicated by the use of the word. The latter is 
 the only natural method by which children learn language. In the u Defining Lessons 11 
 the teacher should read aloud the sentences, and require the pupil to tell the meaning of 
 the word to be defined in each. It would also be well for advanced pupils to write other 
 similar sentences, showing the meaning of the word in each, according to the plan given 
 above. 
 
 The utility of this system of definitions is quite as marked when it is desired to exhibit 
 shades of meaning, as the following examples will show. 
 
 DE LIN'E ATE, v. We delineate their forms with the pencil (sketch ; draw). We de- 
 lineate the virtues of our ancestors (set forth in words). 
 
 CLEAR, adj. The way is now clear for him to proceed (unobstructed). It is a clear day 
 (free from clouds). The reason of it is very clear (plain ; evident). He is a man of clear 
 judgment (discriminating). He is now clear of debt (free from). He has a clear voice 
 (distinct). 
 
 Although delineate means, in both the above cases, u to represent, 11 or "set forth, 1 ' yet 
 the representation is made in the one case by the pencil, and in the other by words ; and 
 these are shades of meaning that could not well be shown without an illustrative use of 
 the word in different sentences. The use of the adjective clear, as above given, illustrates 
 the same principle. 
 
 In this connection, we suggest the following for a series of highly interesting and useful 
 lessons in which a superior teacher may exercise his advanced pupils. Let the teacher, 
 taking the words in the " Defining Lesson?," endeavor to ascertain that primary meaning 
 
vi PREFACE. 
 
 of each which is found in all the examples given of its use, and then require the pupil, 
 looking on the book, to explain how this primary meaning enters into all the examples. 
 As an illustration, we first take the adjective open, the primary meaning of which may be 
 given as " not closed." 
 
 O' PEN, adj. (not closed). 1. The door is open (not shut). 2. Leave it in an open vessel 
 (uncovered). 3. We have had an open winter (mild). 4. He testified in open court (pub- 
 lic). 5. We lay open the secrets of our hearts (expose to view). 6. We have an open ac- 
 count against him (unsettled). 7. The question is now open for discussion (ready ; free). 
 
 Why is the word open appropriate in all these sentences ? 
 
 EXPLANATION. 
 
 1. The door is "open," because not closed by being shut to. 2. The vessel is "open," 
 because not closed by a cover. 3. The winter is " open," because not closedby the cold or 
 frost. 4. The court was " open 1 ' to the public, because the doors were not closed against 
 them. 5. The secrets of the heart are " open," because not closed by reserve or secrecy. 
 6. The account is u open," because not closed by a settlement. 7. The question is still 
 "open" for discussion, because not closed by a decision. 
 
 IVie also the following : 
 
 ROLL, v. (to revolve). The ball rolls down hill. We roll up the cloth. The ship rolls 
 from side to side. Ages roll away. 
 
 Why is "roll" appropriate in each of these sentences? Why do we say "ages roll 
 aAvay ?" Because they pass away by the rolling or revolving of the earth. 
 
 Similar explanations may be made, by the experienced teacher, of most of the words 
 given in the " Defining Lessons." In some cases, however, as in the various uses of the 
 noun " craft," the meaning is now so far removed from the original or primary significa- 
 tion that the analogy is not easily discernible. (See page 150 for the uses to be made of 
 the " Defining Lessons.") 
 
 But it must be remembered that the primary and chief use for which the present work 
 is designed is as a SpeUing-book ; and that not only the regular spelling "Lessons," oc- 
 cupying the upper portions of the pages, but the " Exercises" in synonyms also, are to be 
 used for spelling purposes, both oral and written. The ends hop ad to be attained, in ac 
 cordance with the preceding suggestions, are only incidental to the main object in view 
 and we do not think it Avill be deemed a valid objection to a " Spelling-book" that it may 
 without detriment to its main object, so easily be made to subserve the additional pur 
 poses herein contemplated. 
 
 The subject of Prefixes and Suffixes, though introduced into some of our Spelling-books, 
 we have omitted in the present work, because, from its inherent difficulties, it is seldom 
 .studied when introduced ; and, indeed, we think its study is of little use to any but ad- 
 vanced students, for in many words it is difficult for any but the most thorough classical 
 scholar to distinguish the original prefixes and suffixes from other analogous forms ; in 
 some cases their import is no longer obvious, and in others they have acquired an unusual 
 or metaphorical meaning. 
 
 The " Directions" for the methods of using the work are designed merely as suggestions 
 to the teacher, who will often introduce methods of his own, which may be better, for his 
 use, than those we have given. 
 
I. CALLING WORDS AT SIGHT. 
 
 DIRECTIONS. Direct the attention of the pupil to the pic- 
 tures in the lessons of the next page : ask him what each rep- 
 resents; lead him to associate the words with the pictures, 
 until he can call the former at sight, first in order, and then 
 promiscuously when the pictures are covered by the hand or 
 a piece of paper. 
 
 Next let the pupil read, at sight, the exercises in lesson 3, 
 first by the aid of the illustrations, and then without them. 
 Let him also learh the figures, and use them in numbering 
 the exercises. 
 
 Let the pupil go through the lessons 4, 5, and 6 in the same 
 manner, and then repeatedly review the whole until he can 
 readily call all the words, and read the sentences, at sight. 
 
 II. THE ALPHABET. 
 
 DIRECTIONS. After the pupil has thus learned to call, at 
 sight, all the words in the first six lessons, let him go back to 
 the word hat, at the beginning of the first lesson, and learn 
 the letters which form the word ; let him then spell the word, 
 at first with the aid of the book, and then without it when 
 the word is pronounced by the teacher. Let him go through 
 all the words in lessons 1, 2, 4, and 5 in the same manner. 
 
 Although these six lessons contain all the letters of the 
 alphabet most of them repeated many times yet the pupils 
 may, after this, be occasionally exercised upon the alphabet 
 separately, which will be found on page 12. They should 
 also learn to write the Script letters on their slates.

 III. WORDS OF NOT MORE THAN THREE LETTERS. 
 
 DIRECTIONS. Before the words in the following spelling Lessons are 
 studied by the pupils for the purpose of spelling them, the teacher should 
 read them aloud to the class, and the pupils should pronounce each word 
 after him ; and this should be continued until each pupil can call the words 
 readily at sight. 
 
 The sentences in the Exercises should also be read aloud to the pupils 
 before the latter are required to read them. After the pupils have read 
 the sentences in the Exercises, let them spell the principal words in each.

 * Suggestions. In connection with this Exercise let the pupils learn what a Noun is, 
 and what an Adjective is. 
 
 A Noun is the name of any thing. 
 
 What nctW8 of things are given in this Exercise? The names pan, fan, cat, rat, etc. 
 Teach the pupils the distinction between the name of a thing, and the thing itself. Thus, 
 tell them that the thing, or object, u book," is not a noun ; but the name " book" is a noun. 
 
 . An Adjective is a word which describes a Noun. 
 
 Thus, if I write u a big cat," the word u cat" is a noun, and the word " big" is an adjec- 
 tive, for it describes the cat, or tells what kind of a cat it is.

 IV. MONOSYLLABLES OP NOT MORE THAN FOUR LETTERS. 
 
 DIRECTIONS. The pupils should read aloud to the teacher the partially 
 formed sentences in the " Exercises, " in the following pages, before they 
 are required to spell the words contained in them. 
 
 The teacher should keep constantly before the pupils the distinctions be- 
 tween the different parts of speech as fast as the latter are presented in the 
 "Lessons" and " Exercises." At the bottom of the pages are examples 
 of words, selected from the spelling lessons, alike in spelling and sound, but 
 used in different parts of speech. As the pupil reads these sentences, let 
 him designate to what parts of speech the italicized words belong. Thus, 
 " A safe cage. Here safe is an adjective." "Put the game in the safe. 
 Here safe is a noun." " Do not rail at him. Here rail is a verb." Etc. 
 Let the pupil tell why the word is an adjective, or a noun, or a verb, etc.

 EXERCISES IN SYNONYMS 
 FOR READING, SPELLING, AND WRITING. 
 
 See Preface for the principles involved in these Exercises. 
 
 DIRECTIONS. 1st. Let the pupils read aloud the " Exercises," as in reg- 
 ular reading lessons. 
 
 2d. The teacher may pronounce the two or more synonymous words 
 embraced in brackets, as, "straight and direct;" and the pupil may then 
 give the sentences, or partial sentences, in which they are contained, as, 
 " A straight path, and a direct route." 
 
 3d. Let the teacher make use of the italicized column for a spelling les- 
 son ; and when he pronounces a word, let the pupil spell both that word 
 and the leading word or words with which it is connected, and then give the 
 sentence, or partial sentence, in which they are contained. Thus, the teach- 
 er pronounces the word/am*. The pupil spells it, and also the word " tone," 
 and then says " A faint tone;" or he may give any other appropriate sen- 
 tence containing these words. 
 
 4th. The pupils may take their spelling-books, and at their seats write 
 out these short or partial sentences in complete sentences of greater length. 
 Let them designate the parts of speech of the leading words with which the 
 synonyms are connected.

 XL WORDS ALIKE IN SOUND, BUT UNLIKE IN SPELLING 
 AND SIGNIFICATION. 
 
 SUGGESTIONS. 1st. In Lesson 165, let the teacher pronounce the word, 
 and let the pupils spell both the noun and the verb, designating each. 
 
 2d. The teacher may next go over the lesson in the following manner. 
 Let him pronounce either a noun or a verb in any part of the lesson, and 
 let a pupil spell it, and the word with which it is connected. Thus, the 
 teacher says, "flee, a verb." The pupil spells it, and also spells "fie a, 
 flea, a noun." 
 
 In Lesson 166, let the pupil, when one of the connected words is pro- 
 pique, son, do, wolf, rude, full, an"ger, vi"cious ; as k, g as j, s aa z, ch as sh, the. 
 
H2 
 
 WILLSON'S LARGER SPELLER. 
 
 nounced, and the part of speech named, to which it belongs, spell both of 
 the words. 
 
 Lesson 167, and the subsequent lessons, may be gone over in the follow- 
 ing manner. The teacher pronounces the word bale, for example. The 
 pupil spells " b a le, bale ; b a i /, bail, nouns : b a I e, bale, a verb." 
 
 The "Exercises" at the bottom of the pages are to be dictated to the 
 pupils for writing. As these do not contain all the words in the spelling 
 lessons, it would be well for the pupils to write out similar exercises for the 
 balance of the words, by the aid of their dictionaries.

 DEFINING LESSONS. 
 
 For the principles involved in these Lessons, see the Preface. 
 
 SUGGESTIONS. Let the teacher give out one of the words in capitals to 
 be spelled by the pupils. After the word has been correctly spelled, let the 
 teacher repeat each of the clauses or sentences in which the word is used, 
 and let the pupils explain its appropriate meaning in each instance. They 
 may do this by repeating the words enclosed in brackets, or they may give 
 more full explanations in words of their own selection. Thus, in explain- 
 ing the meaning of the adjective apt, as used in the first sentence below, 
 the pupil might appropriately say, "Words well adapted to convey the 
 meaning intended."

 LETTERS, WORDS, AND SENTENCES. 
 
 The English alphabet consists of twenty-six letters, which are divided into vowels and 
 consonants. 
 
 A Vowel is a letter which can be fully and easily sounded by itself. 
 
 A Consonant is a letter which can not be fully and easily sounded by itself without the 
 aid of a vowel. 
 
 The vowels are a, e, i, o, , and sometimes w and ?/. The remaining nineteen letters 
 are consonants. 
 
 A Diphthong is the union of two vowels in one syllable, as the oi in oil. A Triphthong 
 is the union of three vowels in one syllable, as the ieu in lieu. 
 
 A Primitive word is one not derived from another; as, hope, grace. 
 
 A Derivative word is one formed from a primitive by the addition of some suffix cr pre- 
 fix ; as, hope'ful, dis grace'. 
 
 A Sentence is an assemblage of words that make complete sense. 
 
 PAUSES, AND OTHER MARKS, USED IN WRITING AND PRINTING. 
 
 fl^p 3 For examples, let pupils refer to their Reading Books. 
 
 The Comma (, ) commonly represents the shortest pause in reading ; the Semicolon (; ) 
 a pause longer than that of the comma ; the Colon ( : ) a pause longer than that of the 
 semicolon ; and the Period ( . ) a full pause, or end of an independent sentence. 
 
 The Interrogation point (?) shows that a question is asked. 
 
 The Exclamation point (!) indicates sudden passion or emotion. 
 
 The Parenthesis ( ) includes an explanatory mark, or phrase, inserted between the parts 
 of a sentence, as in the examples here given. 
 
 The Brackets ( [ ] ) include an explanatory observation standing by itself, or separating 
 two subjects. 
 
 Marks of Quotation (" ") include the words quoted from an author or speaker. A quo- 
 tation within a quotation is preceded by a single inverted comma, and closed by a single 
 apostrophe. 
 
 The Apostrophe ( ' ) denotes the possessive case, and also marks the omission of a letter 
 or letters ; as, John's book ; o'er, don't, for over, do not. 
 
 The Dash ( ) denotes a sudden pause or change in the subject or sentiment. 
 
 The Ellipsis ( ) or (* * * *) indicates the designed omission of letters, words, or 
 
 sentences. 
 
 The Hyphen ( - ) connects the parts of compound words, or divides words into syllables. 
 
 The Caret ( A ), used only in manuscript, denotes the accidental omission of a letter, 
 word, or words. 
 
 The Brace ( ) connects a number of words with one common term, which may be 
 
 either expressed or understood. 
 
 The Section ( ) is sometimes used to divide a book or chapter into parts. 
 
 The Paragraph (H) denotes the beginning of a new subject. 
 
 The Index ( &3T* ) points to some important passage. 
 
 The Asterisk (*), and other references, refer to notes in the margin, or at the bottom 
 of the page. 
 
 A Diaeresis (" ) placed over the latter of two vowels shows that they belong to two dis- 
 tinct syllables ; thus, aerial. 
 
 THE USE OF CAPITAL LETTERS. 
 
 The first word of every book, tract, chapter, or letter ; the first word after a period ; all 
 names of the Deity ; names of titles of honor and respect ; all proper names, and most 
 nouns and adjectives derived from them; the first word of every line in poetry; and 
 sometimes words of primary importance, should begin with a capital letter. The pronoun 
 I and the interjection O are written or printed in capital^, Title-pages of books, and 
 heads of chapters, sections, etc., are generally printed wholly in capitals. 
 
1G $ WILLSON'S LARGER SPELLER. 
 
 RULES FOR SPELLING. 
 
 RULE I. Words of one syllable, and words accented on the last syllable, ending with a 
 single consonant preceded by a single vowel, DOUBLE the final consonant when they take 
 an addition (or suffix) beginning with a vowel; as, rob, rob'bing, robbed, rob'ber y rub, 
 rub'bing, rubbed ; blur, blur'ring, blurred ; ac quit', ac quit'ting, ac quit'ted. 
 
 Exceptions. If the accent is changed from the last to the preceding syllable of the 
 primitive, the final consonant is not doubled ; as, re fer', refer ence ; pre fer', prefer a ble. 
 From gas are formed gas'es, gasl form, gas'e ous, gasl fy, gas'sy. X, which is included 
 among the double consonants, is not doubled, as wax, wax'en ; tax, taxing ; per plex', 
 per plexlng. 
 
 Note. In other cases not embraced in the Rule, the final consonant is not doubled; as, 
 fail, failing, failed : ri'val, ri'val ing ; quar'rel, quar'rel ing, quar'reled. But Worces- 
 ter and some others, in opposition to Lowth, Walker, Perry, and Webster, double the final 
 consonant in a few words which are accented on the first syllable, as in trav'el, trav'el ler ; 
 jew'el, jew'el ler; wor'ship, wor'ship ping, wor'shipped. 
 
 RULE II. Words ending in silent e generally drop the e when they take a suffix begin- 
 ning with a vowel ; as, name, naming, named ; have, having ; sale, sal'a ble ; cure, 
 cur'a ble; re move', re mov'a ble. 
 
 Exceptions. ^-F 'or the sake of euphony, when c or g would precede a or o, the e is re- 
 tained, as in charge, charge'able ; peaco, peace'a ble ; change, change'a ble ; cour'age, 
 cour a'geous. The e is dropped in judg'ment, duly, truly, aw'ful, etc., as the suffix does 
 not begin with a vowel. The e is retained in (dye) dyeing, (hoe) hoeing, (shoe) shoeing, 
 (singe) singeing, (tinge) tinge'ing, to distinguish them from (die) dying, (sing) singing, 
 etc. 
 
 RULE III. Words ending in y, preceded by a consonant, change the y to i or e before a 
 suffix beginning with any letter but s or i; as, lovely, loveli er, loveli est; glo'ry, 
 glo'ri ous; glo'ri fy, glo'ri fied ; fly, flies (verb) ; mer'ry, mer'ri er ; beau'ty, beau'te ous. 
 If the y is not preceded by a consonant, it is not generally changed, as, joy, joy'ous, joy'- 
 ful ; although day forms dai'ly. 
 
 Exceptions. Monosyllables retain the y when the suffix begins with a consonant ; as, 
 dry, dryly, dry'ness ; shy, shyly, shy'ness ; sly, slyly, sly'ness. 
 
 RULE IV. The plural of nouns is generally formed by adding s or es to the singular ; 
 but nouns ending in ?/, preceded by a consonant, form their plural by changing y into ies; 
 as, ar'my, ar'mies ; al ly', al lies' ; ba'by, ba'bies ; cit'y, cities ; fly, flies ; sky, skies ; 
 canopies, comedies, lilies, pennies, etc. But nouns ending in y preceded by a vowel, form 
 the plural regularly, as, boy, boys; mon'ey, mon'eys; valley, valleys; jour'ney, jour'- 
 neys. 
 
 Notes. Words ending in a double consonant generally retain both consonants on re- 
 ceiving a suffix; but some words ending in II drop one I before less and ly; as, skill, 
 akilless ; full, fully ; chill, chilly ; squall, squally. Webster, in opposition to Walker 
 and Worcester, retains the II before ness and/wZ, in derivatives of dull, will, skill, and 
 full; as, dull'ness, will'ful, skill'ful, full'nesa. Webster spells dis till', ful fill', in still' ; 
 Worcester, dis til', ful fil', in stil'. 
 
 Compound words usually retain the forms of their primitives ; but an e is dropped in 
 wherever ; and words ending in II drop one I in composition, as in aVsOi_al''nwst^ un til', 
 wel' fare, withal'. ., ^i'*'*.: "^r^ts
