Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book serves as an extensive guide to pronunciation, spelling, and rhyming in English. Codified in 1762, the book was one of the author's numerous contributions to the classical study of phonetics and linguistics. At the time of writing, English spelling and pronunciation were highly inconsistent, and the book goes into granular detail on how words that looked identical might understandably be pronounced differently based on their context and structure. It is a useful guide for anyone wishing to standardize their pronunciations and develop their vocabulary. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
