About this book
A Spelling-Book for Advanced Classes arranges its words in lessons of thirty each, numbered for convenience of reference. The book says all classification has been carefully avoided, so that the initial letter, the terminational syllable, or the silent letters shall not be indicated by the preceding word.
The book suggests that, in written lessons, the words be arranged in lines, instead of columns, in order to afford the scholar an occasional exercise in practical syllabication. Lesson 1 lists flageolet, dactyl, irony, hoopoe, blasphemous, abatable and nausea. The list numbered 102 includes sirloin, conscience, tannin, tyro and usurpation. The text gives Bowditch School in Boston with the date Jan. 9, 1868.
Available edition: text of Project Gutenberg eBook #26513. The PDF has 181 pages; the EPUB is reflowable.
