THE
STUDENT’S SPELLING-BOOK
CONTAINS ABOUT
TWENTY-THREE THOUSAND WORDS,
BEING
NEARLY ALL THE WORDS IN COMMON USE IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE,
SO ARRANGED AS TO FORM AN EASY METHOD OF TEACHING
THE CORRECT SPELLING AND PRONUNCIATION,
AND, AT THE SAME TIME,
THE TRUE SIGNIFICATION OF WORDS;
AND SUCH IS THE CLASSIFICATION, THAT BY LEARNING TO SPELL AND DEFINE
ONE THOUSAND WORDS,
THE PUPIL WILL OBTAIN A KNOWLEDGE OF ABOUT
THREE THOUSAND
AND THUS RECEIVE AN INCREASE UPON HIS LABOR OF
TWO HUNDRED PER CENT.,
BY THE USE OF THIS WORK.
THE SPELLING AND PRONUNCIATION ARE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ORTHOGRAPHY AND ORTHOEPY OF THE GREAT AMERICAN LEXICOGRAPHER,
NOAH WEBSTER, LL. D.
