 BE IT REMEMBERED, That on the nineteenth day of Janu»» 
 (L. S.) in the fifiy-ihird year of the independence of the United StateS'w 
 Americo., A. D. 1820, Edward Hazen, of the said district, has de- 
 posited in th:s ofl[)ce the title of a Book, tiie right whereof he clain:js as author 
 in the words following, to wit: 
 
 " The Speller and Definer ; or. Class Book, No. 2, designed to answer the purposes of a 
 Spell ing-Book, and 16 supersede the necessity of the use of the Dictionary as a Class Book. 
 By E. Hazen." 
 
 In conformity to the Act of the Conprops of the United States, entitled 
 " An Act for the encouragement of Learnino;, by securing the copies of Maps,

 PREFACE. 
 
 As an introduction to " The Speller and De- 
 finer^''^ the author has published " The SYiiBOLi- 
 CAL Spelling Book, in Two Parts." 
 
 In the lessons for spelling, the rhyming method 
 has been adopted, a method which has been proved 
 to be beneficial to learners by the experience of 
 ages. The several classes of words are more com- 
 plete than in any other work of the kind ; so that 
 the two parts combined constitute a tolerable rhy- 
 ming dictionary. The word which stands at the 
 head of each class, is commonly the name of an 
 object represented by a cut. This combination of 
 vvords and pictures, together with a fair type and a 
 tasteful arrangement, render this a most beautiful 
 /Spelling-book; a desideratum, surely, with those 
 jwho wisshto improve the taste of their children, and 
 who are unwilling that they become disgusted with 
 books in general, by the uncouth appearance of the 
 one in which they commence their literary studies. 
 The words are spelled and .pronounced, it is be- 
 lieved, according to the best usage of the language. 
 No one author, therefore, has been implicitly fol- 
 lowed, although Todd's Walker and Johnson has 
 been most relied upon. The deviations Irom this 
 
 a2 ""3 ' 
 
u. 
 
 iv • «>REi^ACE. 
 
 work are found chiefly in such words as honor and 
 public. But the friends of hterature need not be 
 alarmed at the few deviations from their favorite 
 author, whether he be John Walker or Noah Web- 
 ster ; since, with the exceptions just mentioned, they 
 will be hardly perceived, or but slightly regarded, 
 except by the hypercritical. 
 
 In " The Symbolical Spelling BooJc,''^ there are 
 553 engravings, a greater number than has ever 
 been known in any work of this kind. These exert 
 a wonderful influence on the minds of children, and 
 are deemed of great importance by the author, as 
 well as by those who have made trial of their effi- 
 cacy. It must be evident to persons of observation 
 and reflection that the intellects of children are 
 brought into action, and continued in action, b;' 
 objects tangible to the senses, and by them alone. 
 In the use, therefore, of these representations, their 
 knowledge as well as mental power will be in- 
 creased by the same general means ; as pictures, in 
 their efiects, are nearly or precisely the same as the 
 objects which they represent. This opinion in rela- 
 tion to pictures is gaining rapidly on the absurdity 
 that such illustrations attract too much attention. 
 
 Nearly one-third of " The Symbolical Spelling 
 Book" is occupied by reading lessons, which are so 
 arranged that it jvill not be difficult to teach pupils 
 the parts of speech as soon as they can read with- 
 
»;

 out much hesitation. The sentences are classed 
 throughout the work, and each form of construction 
 is repeated successively several times ; so that pupils 
 cannot fail of acquiring a distinct knowledge of each 
 as it occurs. It is confidently expected that the 
 study of these sentences in the process of learning 
 to read, will produce accuracy in language with far 
 greater certainty than the study of grammar by the 
 usual method ; and all who learn to read by these 
 lessons will afterwards acquire a knowledge of the 
 rules of grammar in less than half the time com- 
 monly required. Children who are supplied with "The 
 Symbolical SpeUing Book" from the age of two years, 
 need seldom go to school to learn to read, provided 
 a little parental aid be occasionally given. 
 
 No attempt has been made in this work to explain 
 the meaning of words by definition ; because this 
 method of instruction is not at all applicable, until 
 the mind has been stored with a good vocabulary of 
 words by more simple means. Such means are 
 found on every page of reading lessons ; and by the 
 aid of a competent teacher, the meaning and appli- 
 cation of several thousand words may be easily ac- 
 quired. Such preparation will render pupils com- 
 petent to study 
 
 THE SPELLER AND DEFINER. 
 
 This book contains between seven and eight 
 thousand words, which are classed according to 
 

 VI PREFACE. 
 
 their parts of speech, and according to the number 
 of letters or syllables of which they are composed. 
 The words are all pronounced and defined ; and, on 
 account of their peculiar classification, the defini- 
 tions are easily committed to memory, as well as 
 tenaciously, remembered. 
 
 This work will render it proper for pupils to lay 
 aside their spelling book very early, as here they 
 may be employed with far greater advantage. It 
 will also be likely to banish the practice of com- 
 mitting to memory the Dictionary, a practice ex- 
 ceedingly injurious and absurd, and one which, in 
 many schools, wastes a large proportion of the 
 most valuable time of the pupils. 
 
 As " The Speller and Definer" has been widely 
 circulated, and as the demand for it is rapidly in- 
 creasing, any further remarks in relation to it is 
 deemed unnecessary.

 APPENDIX. 
 
 ORTHOGRAPHY. 
 
 Orthography teaches the nature and power of letters, 
 and the just method of spelling words. 
 
 LETTERS. 
 
 A letter is the representative of an articulate sound. 
 
 An articulate sound is a sound uttered by the human 
 voice, so as to be distinctly understood. 
 
 There are twenty-six letters in the English alphabet, viz. 
 a, &, c, &c. 
 
 The letters are divided into vowels and consonants. 
 
 The consonants are subdivided into mutes and semi- 
 voiaels. 
 
 The voioels have a full and perfect sound of their own. 
 
 The following are the vowels : viz. «, e, i, o, m, w^ and y. 
 W and y are consonants when they begin a word or syl- 
 lable. 
 
 The consonants can not be distinctly sounded without the 
 aid of a vowel ; as, 5e, ce, eZ, em. 
 
 The mutes can not be sounded at all without the aid of 
 a vowel. 
 
 The following are the mutes : viz. h, d, k^ p, f, and c and 
 g hard. | 
 
 The semi-vowels have an imperfect sound of themselves. 
 
 The following are the semi-vowels : viz. /, Z, m, «, r, v, s, 
 2r, X, and c and g soft. 
 
 Four of the semi- vowels are liquids : viz. Z, m, n, r. They 
 are called liquids, because their sound smoothly unites with 
 other consonants. 
 
 DIPHTHONGS AND TRIPHTHONGS. 
 
 A diphthong is the union of two vowels in the same 
 syllable ; as, ea in beatj oi in void. 
 
 There are two kinds of diphthongs : viz. pure and im- 
 pure. 
 
 A pure diphthong is one in which each vowel represents 
 its distinct sound ; as, oi in void. 
 
 An impure diphthong is one in which both vowels repre- 
 sent but one sounds as, oa in boat. 
 
APPENDIX. 207 
 
 A triphthong is the union ot three vowels in the same 
 syllable ; as, iew in view. 
 
 The explanation, given of the sounds of the letters, in 
 pages 37 and 38, is deemed sufficient for the present pur- 
 pose. If any person is desirous to obtain a more minute 
 knowledge of them, he is referred to Walker*s Dictionary. 
 
 A word is a syllable, or combination of syllables. 
 
 A word of one syllable is termed a monosyllable, 
 
 A w^ord of two syllables is termed a dissyllable. 
 
 A word of three syllables is termed a trisyllable, 
 
 A word of four or more syllables is termed a polysyllable. 
 
 SIMPLE AND COMPOUND WORDS. 
 
 A simple word is one, which can not be divided into two 
 entire words ; as, man. 
 
 A compound word is formed of tw^o entire words, which 
 make complete sense, when used separately ; as, vnnd-mill ; 
 or of an entire word and a particle, called a prefix ; as, dis- 
 approve^ inter-vene. 
 
 PREFIXES. 
 
 A prefix^ is a syllable or word prefixed to a word, to form 
 another word, of a different meaning; auch as, un, dis, 
 pro^ inter. Thus, un^ prefixed to righteous, forms the word 
 unrighteous, &lc. 
 
 ENGLISH PREFIXES. 
 
 u4, placed before a noun, sometimes signifies on or in ; 
 as, afoot, on foot ; abed, in bed. 
 
 A is sometimes redundant; as, abide for bide. 
 
 After signifies posterior in time ; as, afternoon, the part 
 of the day past noon. 
 
 Be signifies upon, by or nigh, in, for, beforehand ; as, 
 6esprinkle, to sprinkle upon ; fceside, at or nigh the side ; 
 i 6etimes, in time, early; feespeak, to speak for, to speak for 
 beforehand. 
 
 Fore signifies beforehand ; as, fm-esee, to see beforehand. 
 
 Mis signifies wrong, error ; as, mismanage, to manage 
 wrong. 
 
 Over signifies excess, superiority ; as, overdo, to do more
