Synopsis

Excerpt from Robertsonian Method: An Analytic and Synthetic Course of Lessons in the English Language, Designed for the Use of Persons Studying the Language Without a Master

In matters of English pronunciation the sovereign authority is common consent, that is, the usage prevalent amongst the educated classes of English society. It may be thought that, as these classes are made up of individuals from all parts of the country, they cannot well have a pronunciation in common, and consequently that the usage even of the learned and polite must be a vague authority. This is not however the case; individualisms abound, and are tolerated in good society, but the usage of the majority is perfectly con sistent in that no particular class Of local sounds is found to predominate; the variety of existing dialects has been si1b~' dued into uniformity, and the common tone is sufficiently palpable to determine the pronunciation of the language.
