About This Book
A practical school treatise that sets out principles of English orthography and spelling, urging consistency and showing how Latin conventions influence native usage. It examines vowels and consonants, syllabification, accentuation, punctuation such as apostrophe and hyphen, and offers rules for symbolizing sounds and addressing irregular idioms. A second part systematically treats agreement and syntax—person, number, gender, case, degrees of comparison, and the verb’s person, number, mood, tense and voice—and concludes with discussion of adverbs, conjunctions, editorial notes and a glossarial index to assist teaching and learning.
