Excerpt from A Rhyming, Spelling, and Pronouncing Dictionary of the English Language
By attending to this rule, we detect a number of typo graphical errors, from which even our best dictionary is not free; such as shyly, dryly, dryness, instead of shily, drily, driness. Warburton, in his edition of Pope, every where adheres to this analogy.

Excerpt from A Rhyming, Spelling, and Pronouncing Dictionary of the English Language
Among the various attempts to facilitate the orthography and pronunciation of the English language, it is not a little surprising that the method here adopted should have been either totally overlooked or neglected. A Rhyming Dictionary in a living language, for the purposes of poetry, seems no very unnatural or useless production, and imperfect sketches of such a work have already been given us by Poole and Bysshe; but no one has hitherto thought of making a dictionary of terminations subservient to the art of spelling and pronouncing. The more obvious use of a work of this kind was perhaps an obstacle to the completion of it, and its latent, though more useful qualities, were by this means unobserved. A mere rhyming dictionary was looked on either as a bauble for school-boys, or a resource for poetasters; and the nobler ends of pointing out the analogy of orthography and pronunciation, like many other advantages, were overlooked in the insignificancy and puerility of the means.
Johnson's Dictionary is scarcely more valuable for so nicely tracing the various and almost vanishing shades of the same word, than for furnishing us with so copious a collection of nearly similar words of a different form. Those who understand the harmony of prose, pay a cheerful tribute to Dr. Johnson on this account, as he admits them to a more easy and extensive view of the powers of the language, than can possibly be suggested by the memory alone; and by this means assists that delicacy of choice, on which the precision and harmony of expression so essentially depend.

A Rhyming, Spelling, and Pronouncing Dictionary of the English Language
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. A groundbreaking work to appreciate and decode the often-overlooked orthographic and pronunciational rules of the English language, this book provides an innovative system to interpret the historical evolution and current usage of English words. A comprehensive collection of rhyming, spelling, and pronunciation aids makes this book a standout. The author reveals a consistent system of articulation that governs the language, facilitating speech and accentuation for foreigners, provincials, and even native speakers. By presenting words sorted by similar terminations, the book aids in pronunciation, understanding the impact of accent on different syllables, and exposes the dependability of accent on termination. The system detailed in this book is further supported by the inclusion of nearly seven-hundred words with accentuated and uniformly pronounced antepenultimate syllables, over three-hundred with accentuated and uniformly pronounced penultimate syllables, and comprehensive notes on the exceptions to these rules. In addition, the book offers insight into the historical development of the language, the influence of etymology, and more. With this book, the author provides the reader with an accessible reference to decode and understand the fundamentals of English pronunciation and spelling. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781332190942_0
