+
+PREFACE.
+In revising this book, care has been taken to preserve all the excellences
+that have so long and so favorably distinguished McGUFFEY'S ECLECTIC
+SPELLING-BOOK: and the chief changes that have been made, have been
+suggested by the evident plan of the original work.
+
+The old system of indicating the pronunciation by numerals, called
+"superiors," has been abandoned, and the diacritical marks used by Webster
+have been adopted. The Revised Speller conforms in orthography,
+pronunciation, and syllabication to the latest edition of Webster's
+Unabridged Dictionary. Exercises have been given on each of the
+distinctive marks used in the book, as will be seen by reference to
+Lessons 36-57.
+
+A number of lessons have been added in the department of prefixes and
+suffixes, and now nearly all the more common of these etymological
+principles have been explained. (See Lessons 136-167.) In arranging the
+text of the several lessons, the object has been not to appeal merely to
+arbitrary memory, but to associate each lesson with some principle of
+sound, meaning, or accent, which would tend to aid the pupil in acquiring
+a knowledge of our language. Several distinct lessons on pronunciation are
+given, and towards the close of the book numerous lessons of difficult
+words in orthography have been introduced.
+
+Instead of indicating silent letters by italics, as has hitherto been
+done, a new type has been made in which such letters are canceled, thus
+enabling the pupil to discover their status at a glance.
+
+The pages have been enlivened, as in the other books of this Series, by
+attractive engravings.
+
+The publishers take pleasure in acknowledging the valuable services of
+W. B. Watkins, D. D., who planned and executed this revision.

+
+THE ENGLISH ALPHABET.
+
+The English Alphabet consists of twenty-six letters, viz.:
+a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z.
+
+Letters are divided into VOWELS and CONSONANTS.
+
+The Vowels are those letters which can be perfectly sounded without the
+aid of any other letter. The vowels are a, e, i, o, u, w, and y.
+
+The vowel sounds of w and y are the same as those of u and i. A, e, and o
+are always vowels. I, u, w, and y are sometimes consonants.
+
+A Diphthong is the union of two vowels in one sound. When both vowels are
+sounded, the diphthong is called PROPER, because then it is really a
+DIPHTHONG, or double sound; that is, the sounds of the vowels unite; as,
+oi in oil; ou in sound.
+
+When only one of the vowels is sounded, the diphthong is called IMPROPER,
+because then, as one of the vowels is silent, it is not properly a
+DIPHTHONG, though it takes that name; as, oa in boat, ui in suit, where a
+and i are silent.
+
+The following diphthongs are in common use, viz.: oi, oy, ou, ow, ae, ai,
+au, aw, ay, ea, ei, eo, eu, ew, ey, ia, ie, oa, oe, ua, ue, ui; as in
+toil, boy, round, plow, seal, coal, head, sail, say, aught, yeoman. Of
+these, oi, oy, ou, and ow are generally proper diphthongs; though
+sometimes ou and ow are improper, as in famous, where o is silent, and in
+slow, where w is silent.
+
+A Triphthong is the union of three vowels in one syllable; as, eau in
+beau, iew in view. The triphthong is properly a union of letters, not
+sounds.
+
+
+
+OF THE VARIOUS SOUNDS.
+
+All the vowels, and some of the consonants, have several sounds; in this
+book these sounds are indicated by diacritical marks, as in the following
+tables:

+NOTE.--The foregoing forty-four sounds are those most employed in the
+English language. Some of these sounds are represented by other letters,
+as shown in the following table. For further instruction concerning the
+sounds, see Lessons 36-57.

+u      e    burn
+u      oo   rude

+s      z    as
+s      sh   sure
+x      gz   exact
+gh     f    laugh
+ph     f    phlox
+qu     k    pique[1]
+qu     kw   quit
+
+[Footnote 1: The u is canceled in this book when qu is sounded like k.]
+
+W, in its vowel sounds, corresponds with u; an in new (pro. nu).
+
+A has, in a few words, the sound of e; as in any (pro. en'ny).
+
+U has, in a few words, the sound of e; as in bury (pro. ber'ry); or that
+of i, as in busy (pro. biz'y).
+
+
+
+OF THE CONSONANTS.
+
+The Consonants are those letters which can not be perfectly sounded
+without the aid of a vowel. The consonants are b, c, d, f, g, h, l, k, l,
+m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, x, z, and sometimes i, u, w, and y. The consonants
+are divided into MUTES and SEMI-VOWELS.
+
+The Mutes are those consonants that admit of no sound without the aid of a
+vowel. They are b, d, k, p, q, t, and c and g hard.
+
+The Semi-vowels are those consonants that can be sounded imperfectly by
+themselves. They are f, h, j, l, m, n, r, s, v, x, z, and c and g soft.
+
+Four of the semi-vowels are called LIQUIDS; viz., l, m, n, and r. They are
+called liquids because they unite so readily with other sounds, or flow
+into them.
+
+
+
+OF SYLLABLES AND WORDS.
+
+A Syllable is a sound, or a combination of sounds, uttered by a single
+impulse of the voice: it may have one or more letters; as
+  a, bad, bad-ness.
+
+A Word is either a syllable or a combination of syllables; as, not,
+notion.
+
+A word of one syllable is called a Monosyllable; as, man.
+
+A word of two syllables is called a Dissyllable; as, manly.
+
+A word of three syllables is called a Trisyllable; as, manliness. Words of
+more than three syllables are called Polysyllables.
+
+Accent is a stress of voice placed upon some one syllable more than the
+others. Every word composed of two or more syllables has one of them
+accented. This accent is denoted by a mark (') at the end of the accented
+syllable; as, mid'night,  a ban'don.
+
+A Primitive Word is one which is not derived from any other word; as, man,
+great, full.
+
+A Derivative Word is one which is formed from some other word by adding
+something to it; as, manful, greatness, fully.
+
+A Simple Word is one which is not composed of more than one word; as,
+kind, man, stand, ink.
+
+A Compound Word is one that is composed of two or more simple words; as,
+ink-stand, wind-mill.
+
+Spelling is naming or writing the letters of a word.

+OF AFFIXES.
+
+Many words are formed by adding something to the end of another word. The
+added part is called an affix; as ly, added to man, forms manly. In this,
+and the following seventeen lessons, the more common affixes are
+indicated.
+
+Plurals formed by adding s to the Singular.
+
+roofs       so'los    ty'ros     al bi'nos
+hoofs       ha'los    jun'tos    me men'tos

+toe'ing     singe'ing   trace'able
+tinge'ing   dye'ing     peace'a ble

+
+graced    fixed   es caped'     at tacked'
+scraped   mixed   em braced'    con fessed'
+cracked   boxed   en grossed'   op pressed'
+
+In other words formed by the affix ed, the last letter is doubled in words
+of one syllable, or in words accented on the last syllable, when they end
+with a single consonant preceded by a single vowel; as, wed, wed'ded. If
+the word ends in any other consonant than d or t, the e in ed becomes
+silent, and the two syllables become one; as, hem, hemmed, pronounced
+hemd.

+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works

+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
