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.

Excerpt from The Problem of Spelling Reform I Suppose I may assume that the British Academy will at all times be ready to consider questions that relate to general education; and I am personally of opinion that there are few subjects of general interest and importance that are more deserving of attention than the often debated one of Phonetic Spelling. I do not propose to waste the time of those who are so kind as to listen to me, by stating or recommending any views that I have formed for myself, during the many years in which this subject has never been far from my thoughts; my object is rather to review the present state of the question, and to consider what progress, if any, has been made in the direction of its solution. Notwithstanding all that has been said and written upon the subject during the past forty years, I fear it must be admitted that we are still in very much the same position as we were at the beginning of the discussion; at any rate, as far as relates to the attainment of any practical results in this country. But as regards the theory of it, something has been achieved. The labors of Dr. Ellis and Dr. Sweet have by no means been lost; and, in order to see what advances have been made, a slight sketch of the history of the movement may prove useful. When it was first proposed to improve our modern system of spelling, it soon dawned upon all serious enquirers that the first step was to examine the meaning of the symbols which we employ for the purpose of representing the spoken language. There was a difficulty at the very outset; for the first impression which the very look of the written language is apt to produce - the impression, indeed, which it actually produces upon the minds of a vast multitude amongst us - is that the whole matter is inexplicable, and is not likely to be capable of explanation.

Excerpt from The Future of the English Language: An Argument for a Spelling Reform As a Frenchman once found, when he tried to explain His complaint, for the Spelling so bothered his brain That he said to the doctor, I've got a bad cow 3 When the doctor could only reply by a bow. Again he attempted, I've got a bad coo But the doctor was dumb. Seeing that would not do, He bethought him again, I've got a bad co; And he thought that the doctor was terribly slow But he tried it once more, I've got a bad cuff, The doctor lost patience and said in a huff.

Excerpt from Our Language: A Journal of Spelling Reform and Other Language Topics; April, 1891, to March, 1894 It must not be forgotten that Latin under lies the whole fabric of English literature and the whole structure of English thought, inso much that its abandonment az a means of mental training would produce a breach of continuity, so to speak, between the past and the future of learning, and would effectually detach coming generations from the wisdom of our ancestors.'

Excerpt from The Simplification of English Spelling: Specially Adapted for the Rising Generation, an Easy Way of Saving Time in Writing, Printing, and Reading Men of middle age shrink from the idea of having to begin and learn another, and more complex, form of alphabet. They tremble at the very thought of having to commence a course of spelling anew. They even, to a certain extent, dread the prospect of having their visual organs offended by the abnormal appearance which a new form of words is likely to present. These objections, though they may appear trifling when looked at individually, will nevertheless, We fear, be ascertained to be formidable obstructive agents in the way of orthographical reform when they exert their influence collectively. Let them be eradicated from the public mind, and the path to Spelling Reform would at once be open. Now comes the question, - How is this desirable object to be attained?
