Excerpt from A Plea for Spelling Reform We may further note here that in many other positions where the conventional long sounds of the vowels are supposed to be regularly used we frequently find the short ones. Thus, if we have change and range, we have also flange paste and waste have caste for an ill-assorted fellow bind and pint must keep company with wind and mint; toll and droll with doll; while torn, port, and most are readily confronted with corn, short, and cost. Thus no certain means are provided in thousands of cases to mark whether a vowel-sign represents the conventional long or the short sound, quite different in nature as those sounds are, and the spelling-books only partially surmount the difficulty by adopting a plan of syllabication which is often in conflict with etymology and phonetics.

Excerpt from A Plea for Spelling Reform: A Series of Tracts Compiled From the Phonetic Journal and Other Periodicals, Recommending an Enlarged Alphabet and a Reformed Spelling of the English Language, as a Means of Placing the Arts of Reading and Writing Within Reach of All Who Speak the English If letters are not meant to express sounds, what is their purpose? If a word - a spoken word - cannot be analysed into its several elements or sounds, and if these sounds are not the letters by which the word is known, such word, when written, is to all intents and purposes a hieroglyph, and we might as well draw some Egyptian hieroglyph, and say, That figure stands for such a word. When we speak the word though we utter two sounds, a vocal th, which I will represent by d, and the vowel 0. Why should we take the trouble to write six letters to re present this word, when two letters would answer the pur pose But our 0 must be a true 0, one that represents the sound it has in though on all occasions. For this long, Open vowel, a slight modification of o is introduced, thus e, and.the old letter is reserved for the sound which it commonly represents, namely, the short vowel in not.

Excerpt from English Spelling and Spelling Reform The subject Of spelling reform is not, strictly Speaking, a soul-stirring one, nor is any possible treatment Of it likely to contribute to the gayety Of nations. If any Of the chapters contained in the present volume be Of the slightest in terest in itself, that on the orthographic situa tion is assuredly not the one. On the other hand, if there be anything Of value in the work, that same chapter has, as I look at it, far the most value. There is in it, indeed, nothing original. The numerous facts it contains are to be found scattered up and down the pages Of various volumes - particularly in the intro ductions to the larger dictionaries, and in orthographic and orthoepic essays produced at various periods. But SO far as I know, this is the first attempt ever made to collect and com bine and, above all, to put in a form, easily com prehensible by the general reader, the widely scattered facts which go to Show the precise character and characteristics Of English orthog raphy, and to bring out with distinctness the real nature Of the deep-seated disease under which it labors. At all events, Whether or not I have been anticipated in the presentation Of these facts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
