In prosecuting his design, the Author has endeavoured scrupulously to observe .Mr. Walker's principles of Orthography and Orthoepy, which are universally acknowledged to be superiour to any other extant. Although | ther* are many erronrs both in spelling and pronunciation in those Walker's ['.Dictionaries which have been published in the United States; yet, every j precaution has been taken to render the present work as perfect as the na- il ture di th& subject and the abi. po [ In arranging the following [j elucidate, m as simple arid *i sounds of ah the letters in the familiar to the c | memory, by | He has'organizt ; it by course may : 'lh® whole Alphabc « strong his memory may be, i ity of the Author would admit. — (See Appcn- X was the first object of the Author to ■• a manner as possible, his various nd to render the rudiments more and easier for them to commit to cu a I order. sons, that the system of teaching commencing with A, and sounding 3 lesson ; no child or adult, however s capable of remembering all the sounds of X'£5p£,OS2f»l PREFACE.

The 1 inion, that the practice of conducting scholars too soon fio og to reading lessons is of very pernicious eilect ; and he be^ therefore, inserted a greater number of spelling lesson i than there n books of this kind, and lie has taken particular care to kave lessons very easy, that the scholar may be conducted to those which are more -difficult as gradually as possible. The lamentable fact, that many emerging from our schools and academics at the present, day, are poor orthographers, has induced him to extend his spelling lessons i very considerably. Re likewise takes the liberty to enjoin it most ear- nestly upon Tnstructers, to confine their pupils to this most important sub- ject, this root of education, much more. closely, and for a greater length of time, than is usually practised, satisfied that nothing else will remedy an evil so deplorable.' The Author is highly pleased that our schools are fur* nished with reading books adapted to the capacities of scholars of every age, as it has rendered it perfectly consistent for ham to enlarge the portion ot spelling lesson s, to the exclusion of many usually inserted for exercise i in reading. The words contained in chapter fifty-eight, in which there are twe or more of the same pronunciation, but of different spelling and signification, are omitted in the other chapters, as it is very difficult for children to dis- tinguish the orthography of these words when they are inter mingled with others, and not associated with their definitions. With respect to the insertion of pictures in a Spelling-Book, it appears to be evident that they are of no advantage, and that a greater quantity of Spelling-Books is destroyed, than there would be, "were they not insertsd. A school-teacher wott^ unquestionably, punish his scholars for making use of play things in *sibdc4 -, then, I would ask, is it consistent to permit them to spend an hour or two every day in turning over the leaves of their i I books to find the pictures and play with them? The Author of the present work being fully aware that habits and prin cipies imbibed in childhood are seldom eradicated, lias long regretted that ' those very books from which the first principles of our language are drawn, should inculcate errour, and be instrumental in perpetuating both a dis- similar and vulgar pronunciation. To have mentioned a lew of the most 1 prominent errours contained in the Speliing-L-ooks now in use, is suffi- cient for the present purpose, as the publick, or at least those who labour for the instruction of youth, must, have discovered and regretted that very extensive deficiency which has impelled the Author to action. With regard to the justice of these remarks, the Author leaves it whslly ;for the candid and judicious to decide, and would only observe, that if tfSB following work should meet the approbation of sn enlightened coajnMBtfi^ : he will esteem it the highest reward he can receive.

If the stress of voice fall on a consonant, the sound oi' the preceding vowel is consequently short, and is marked by figure 4.

Mr. Walker, (speaking of a when fiat.) says, "this sound of a was found before the nasal liquid ??, especially when succeeded by c, d, or t, as in dance, glance, grant, plant, slander, &c. The hissing consonant s, was likewise a sign of this sound of a, whether doubled, as in glass, lass, &c. or accompanied by t, as in cast, fast, &c. but this pronunciation of a ; seems to have been for some years advancing to the short sound of this letter, as heard in hand, land, &c. and pronouncing the a in after, ansuer i basket, mast, &c. as long as in half, calf &c. borders very closely on vulgarity ;" he says, however, "that this was the sound formerly, is highly probable, from its being still the sound given it by the vulgar, who are generally the last to alter the common pronunciation." In speaking of 0, he says, " this letter, like a, has a tendency to lengthen, when followed by a liquid and another consonant, or by 5, ss, or 5 and a mute ; but this length of seems every day more and more vulvar, and as it would be gross to a degree to sound the a in castle, mask, and plant, like. I the a in palm, psalm, &c. so it would be equally exceptionable to pronounce the m moss, and frost, as if written mawse, frawst."

Select Sentences, of easy words, calculated to teach Children to read, and at the same time to infuse into their tender minds some just ideas of their duty, and the rudiments of sanctity and virtue. Lesson L Love that which is good, and shun vice. My sen, do as you are bid, but do no ill. Rest in the Lord, and mind his word. The Lord is good, in all his works and ways. M} r son, hold fast the law that is good. You must not tell a lie, nor do hurt. ♦ Mark the man that doth well, and do so too. A bad man is a foe to the taw. Lesson II. Help such as want help, and be kind. Hate no man, but love both friends and foes. A bad man can take no rest, day nor night Sin will lead us to pain and wo. A bad life will make a bad end. We must pray for them that hate us. We must love them that love not us. We must do as we like to be done to. Lesson III. I will love the law and keep it. I will walk with the just and do good. I will love thee, O Lord, my strength. He must live well that will die well. He doth live ill that doth not mend. In time to come we must do no ill. No man can say he has no sin ; For all men have gone out of the way. #bs - i aaggs A Just Standard for Pronouncing Lesson IV. A good boy will do all that is just ; he will flee from vice ; he will do good, and walk in the way of life. Love not the world, nor the things that are in the world ; for they are sin. I will not fear what 'flesh can do to me ; for my trust is in Him who made (he world : He is nigh to them that pray to him and praise hk name. Lesson V. Be a good child ; mind your book ; love your school, and strive to learn. Tell no tales ; call no ill names ; you must not lie, nor cheat, nor swear, nor steal. ; Play not with bad toys y -use no ill words at play; spend your time well ; live in peace, and shun all strife. This is the way to make gpod men love you, and^to save your soul from pain and wo. Lesson VI. He that speaks loud in school, will not learn his own book well, nor let the rest learn theirs ; but those that make no noise will soon be wise, and gain much love and good will. If you have done wrong, own your fault ; for he that tells a lie to hide it makes it worse. He that tells the truth is a wise child ; but he that tells lies, will not be heard when he speaks the truth. Mock not the lame, or deafj or dumb ; bur be glad you are not so. ^— " ■ — ' -—-■——■- — --■ ■■-■■ —*• aF jWttV-Bi.'^^ii.fe^.W'^hilBJBiftg-W ^ j w ^ a a gx^ - g T ^ ^xagg ^yg the English Laitgua* CHAPTER XIY.

Advice to Children. Lesson I. Rise with the lark each clay, for it is wrong to lose your time in bed. When you rise, pray to God to keep you from harm, and do the same when you lie down at night. Gome to school clean and neat, play not by the way, nor let your voice be heard in the street. When you go to school, take your book and go to your seat ; make no noise, but strive to learn as fast as you can. Love him that loves his book, and speaks good words, and does no harm ; for such a friend may do you good all the days of your life. Be kind to all as far as you can, for you know not how soon you may want their help, and he that has the good will of all that know him, will not want a friend in time of need. If you want to be good, wise, and great, read with care j such books as have been made by good and wise men ; think of what you read in your spare hours ; be brisk at play : but do not waste your time in bed. Re not proud of what you have, for fools may wear fine clothes ; but a wise child is known by his words. Be not false in thy words, but speak the truth at all times. 62 A Just Standard for Pronouncing' Let thy words be few, and sin not with thy tongue. Love God with all your heart, and serve him with all your might, so shall he bring you to joy and peace. There is but one God, who made the world. He made the trees and plants to grow out of the ground, and worms that live in it. He made both men and beasts that walk on the earth, the birds that fly in the air, and the fish that swim in the sea. He made the sun, moon, and stars ; and all things we see are the works of his hands. Lesson II. My son, hear the words of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother. My son, keep my word, and lay up my precepts with thee. Keep my commandments, and my law, as the ap- ple of thine eye. Bind them upon thy fingers; write them upon thy heart. My son, if sinners entice thee to sin, consent thou not. Walk not in the way with them ; refrain thy feet from their path. A wise son hears the counsel of his father ; but a foolish son hears not rebuke. There is a way which seems right unto a man ; but to r ' I-k in it, is death* Go net in the way of evil men; avoid it; pass not by it ; turn from it ; and pass away. The upright shall inherit the land ; and tlie righteous shall remain in it. MMUfotwrK ivii rr n iiiaiiifiiifi iii i, iwiimwumniitBa'am the English Language. 63 The wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and die transgressor shall be rooted out of it. Socst thou a man wise in his own conceit? There is more hope of a fool than of him. Happy is the man that finds wisdom. Length of days is in her right hand, and in her left hand, riches and honour. Her ways are pleasant, and all her paths are peace. CHAPTER XVI. Words of three syllables, the primary accent on the first syllable, and the secondary accent on the third.

Let not reading cause you to neglect spefling. Learn to spell and pronounce before you read much. Good spelling is the sure way to good reading ; there- fore, study spelling with the greatest care, until you can spell all the words in this book, as soon as you hear them, without seeing them. When you can spell well, you will soon become a good reader ; and as soon as you shall be able to read well, you will be permitted to study grammar. Grammar will teach you what is meant by the parts of speech, and how to speak and write as you ought ; and without the knowledge of grammar, your language will be incorrect, and you will always be marked by your friends as a poor scholar. Lesson II. A good book is like a good friend, it will teach us good tilings ; but bad books are like bad men, they will teach us wrong things, and lead to sin and death. If we lead a good life, we shall have no reason to fear, death ; but if our ways be bad we must change them, or our end will be miserable. Our whole life is made up of hours, days, months, and years ; and if we wish the whole to be good, we must see that each part is good, and then our end will be happy. God made us to bless us, and lie will do so, if we love him, and try to do all that is good, just, and true. We musl be kind to the poor : we must feed and clothe then:- and give them what they need if we can, and not let them suf- fer for want of our aid. God is , v.vA what we give to them, we I :■ }»e will repay us.

If men praise your efforts, suspect their judgement ; if they censure them, your own. We ask advice, but we mean approbation. If you are under obligations to many, it is prudent to postpone the recompensing of one, until it shall be in your power to remunerate all, otherwise jofr will make more enemies by what you give, than by wliat vou with- hold. Imitation is the sincerest of flattery. If rich, it is easy enough to conceal our wealth ; but if poor, it is not quite so easy to conceal our poverty. We shall find that it is less difficult to hide a thousand guineas tliaii one hole in our coat.

W you are clean and warm it is sufficient; for more the poor, and pleases the wanton* Believe nothing flier, but upon good author- ity; nor report what may hurt another, unless it be a greater hurt to others to conceal it. As the branches of a tree return their sap to the root front whence it arose ; and as a river pours its streams into the sea, whence its spring was supplied ; so a grate- ful man returns a benefit which he has received, and his heart is delighted therewith. It is almost as difficult to make a person unlearn his er- rours, as his knowledge. Mal-information is more hope- less than non-information ; for errour is always more busy than ignorance. Ignorance is a blank sheet, on which we may write ; but errour is a scribbled one, on which we must first erase. Ignorance is contented to stand stiii with her back to the truth ; but errour is more presuinp- tu ous." and proceeds in the same direction.

Did youth but know the pleasures that arise from an early culture of the mind, I am led to believe they would not waste, in useless pursuits, the many hours they do. Could they be induced to become wise in season, they F| might escape those bitter regrets which await the idle and | vicious. How many have I been a witness to, who would have given life almost to redeem mispent time, when they have!; ;seen others of their age and rank in Ijfe, who, by making virtue and a right use of time their first object, have risen |j 'to honour and riches in the world. Many a trap is laid to insnare the feet of youth. A little that a good man hath, is better than the riches I >f many wicked persons. j: All our comforts proceed from the Father of Goodness. ! The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof. Follow not the ways of evil men, they are of those thai | rebel against the light ; they know not its ways, nor abide I in its paths. He who formed the heart knows what passes within it. \Yc should be kind to all persons, even to those who are 1 unkind to us. Reveal your secrets to none, unless it be as much their I interest to keep them, as it is yours they should be kept. Vice stings us, even in our p]@aeure3 ; but virtue con- ! soles us, even in our pains. Of all the marvellous works of the Deity, perhaps there J is nothing that angels behold with such supreme astonish | ment as a proud man. • the English Language. CHAPTER XXXIV.

He blushes at a falsehood, and is confounded ; but in speaking the truth he has a steady eye. He supports the dignity of his character as a man ; and scorns to stoop to the arts of hypocrisy. He is consistent with himself, he is never embarrassed, he has courage to speak the truth ; but to lie he is afraid. He is far above the meanness of dissimulation ; the | words of his mouth are the thoughts of his heart. Yet with prudence and caution he opens his lips ; he studies what is right, and speaks with discretion. He advises with friendship, he reproves with freedom, ! and whatsoever he promises, he will if possible perform. But the thoughts of the hypocrite are hid in his breast ; he masks his words with the likeness of truth, while the business of his life is to deceive. He laughs in sorrow, he weeps in joy, and the words of his mouth have not the interpretation of his heart. He works in the dark as a mole, and fancies he is safe ; but he blunders into light and is^TFxposed with his dirt on his head. He passes his days in perpetual constraint ; his tongue and his heart are forever at variance. O fool! the pains which thou takest to hide what thou art, are more than would make thee what thou wouldst seem ; and the children of wisdom shall mock at thy cunning, when in the, midst of security, thy dis- guise is stripped oft and the finger of derision shall point thee to scorn. OBSERVATIONS. A wise man will consider, not so much the present ! pleasure and advantage of a measure, as its future conse- ices. Sudden and violent passions are seldom durable. K2 114 A Just Standard for Pronouncing' Never speak of a man's virtues to his face, nor of i liis faults behind his back; thus you will equally avoid; jiiattery, which is disgusting, and slander, which is j criminal. If you be poor, labour will procure you food and cloth- ing ; if you be rich, it will strengthen f lie body, invigorate the mind, and keep you from vice. Every person ought to be busy in some employment. We may as well expect that God will make us rich without industry, as that he will make us good and happy without our own endeavours. Some men read for the purpose of learning to write : others for the purpose of learning to talk ; the former study for the sake of science, and the latter for the sake of amusement. He seldom lives frugally, who lives by chance. Small parties make up in diligence what they want in ; numbers. Were the life of man prolonged, he would become such la proficient in villany, that it would be necessary to drown j the world again, or to burn it. Despotism can. no more exist in a nation, until the liberty of the press be destroyed, than the night can hap- pen before the sun is set. | That virtue which depends on opinion, looks to secrecy jalone, and could not be trusted in a desert. More have been ruined by their servants, than b} r their \ masters. It is safer to be attacked by some men, than to be pro- jected by them. The firmest friendships have been formed in mutual j adversity, as iron is most strongly united by the fiercest I lame. There are some men whose enemies are to be pitied much, and their friends more. Charity is a burden, if we cannot be allowed to express our gratitude. Do not insult the poor ; poverty entitles a man to pity. 115 the English Language. CHAPTER XLVII.

On the Importance of Time. The first requisite for hit reducing order into the man agemeal of time, is to be impressed with a iust sense of y.x j its value. If we delay till to-morrow "what ought to be done to- day, we overcharge the morrow with a burden which' does not belong to it Our ' 1 be accustomed, in our younger yearsJ to soiin bymestj wlucB i -ay engage our thought?. 1 _ity of the soul at a riper age. He who perl rms ever)" eiupl^meut in its due place, and seasoo, suffers no part of time ioe>eape wiihout profit,- If we suffer the present time to be wasted, eiiher in ab- solute idleness or frivolous employments,- it will hereafter: call for vengeance against us. 120 A Just Standard for Pronouncing As the season of youth is the best time for improve- ment, every precious hour of this short period should be husbanded with the most sacred care. A wise man counts his minutes ; he lets no time slip unimproved by him ; for time is life, which he makes long by a right use and application of it. A wise man uses time past for observation and refleoj tion ; time present, for duty ; and time to come, lie leaves to Providence. Of all prodigality, that of time is (lie worst. None but a wise man can employ leisure well, and lie that makes the best use of time, hath none to spare. Time is what we want most, but what we use worst ; jj for which we must all account, when time shall be more. The loss of wealth may be regained, the loss of health may be recovered ; but that of time can ne\cr be recall- ed. Waste not the particles of time, for like particles of gold, they possess their separate value. Although past time is gone, we may apply it to a very profitable purpose, if we lay hold of it while it re- mains in remembrance, and oblige it to contribute to fu- ture improvement. He who intends the improvement of his parts, must ex- actly mind the prudent spending of his time. The advantage of living does not consist in length of days, but in the right improvement of them. There is little need to drive away time by foolish di- versions ; it flies away very swiftly, and when once gone, can never be recalled. It is a melancholy truth, that though among the tal- ents of our stewardship, time is the most valuable, yet, in general, we are more profuse and regardless of it than of any other. Our season of improvement is short, and whether we use it or not, it wiU soon pass away. How necessary, "ore, to improve the present time. the English '" ^^Wgy &gfl jji* ^^ J Tis net to pause wh door A shivering brother To ask the cause that dm poor f Or why he help demands. 'Tis not to spurn that brothers prayer For faults lie once h n ; 'Tisnot to leave him ir ; And say that I have none. The voice of charity is kind- She thinketh nothing wrong ; To every fault she feeemeth blind, Nor vauntetli with her tongue. In penitence she placeth faith — Hope smileth at her door ; Itelieveth first — then softly saith, " Go, brother, sin no more." CHAPTER LV.

Of all the passions which invade the human breast, re- l venge is the most direful. How much soever a person may suffer from injustice, | he is always in hazard of suffering more from the prose- cution of revc: How pleasing soever revenge may appear, it always .lore to a generous mind than worth. Revenge is a mean pleasure ; but to is glorious. lie who arrogates to liimself the right of vengeance, shows how little he is qualified to decide upoa his own claim- ; since certainly he demands what he would be unwilling to grant to a^notl lie who retires to meditate mischief, and exasperate his own rage, may justly be numbered amongst the most miserable of human beings. A passionate and revengeful temper renders a man unfit for advice, deprives hiin of his reason, and robs him of all that is great or noble in his nature. No principle is more noble than that of forgiving in- juries ; and nothing so wicked or unprofitable as rancor- ous revenge. * Hatred and revenge are perpetual stings in the breast of those who harbour them. A gentle and prudent reply to indecent and scurrilous j [language, is the most severe, though innocent revenue These who are read) 7 to forgive injuries, are esteemed for their clemency and forbearance, whilst those who I cherish revenge, are dreaded for the mischief they are j capable of doing. lie that watches for revenge lies in wait against him- !«elf, and draws down mischief on his own head. As he that can revenge an injury end will not, discovers | a virtuous and magnanimous disposition of soul ; so he j can return a kindness and does not, shows a mean I rid contemptible spirit. I tas English Language. 147 j The sweetest revenge is to do good to our enemies. By taking revenge, a man is but even with his enemy ; •t in passing it over, he is superiour to him; Hail, beauteous stranger of the wood, Attendant on the spring ! Now heaven repairs thy vernal seat, Ar thy welcome sing. Soon as the daisy decks the green, Thy certain voice we hear ; Hast thou a star to guide thy path, Or mark the rolling year ? Delightful visitant ! with thee I hail the time of flowers, When heaven is fiii'd with musick sweet Of birds among the bowers. The schoolboy wandering in the wood, To puE the flowers so gay, Oft starts, thy curious voice to hear, And imitates thy lay. Soon as the pea puts on the bloom, Thou fly 'st the vocal vale ; An annual guest in other lands, Another spring to hail. Sweet bird ! thy bower is ever green. Thy sky is ever clear ; Thou hast no sorrow in thy song, No winter in thy year. O ! could I fly, I'd fly with thee ; We'd make, with joyful wing, Our annual visit o'er the globe, Companions of the spring. 1148 A Just Standard fur Pronouncing CHAPTER LXII.
