Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Drill Book in Dictionary Work
Has the inquirer a clear idea of the value for which the key-word is given Perhaps his ear has been trained to note only the wider differences of sound; or it may have become so accustomed to erroneous utterances of whole classes of words, that tongue and ear are leagued against the right. From whatever causes, there is often a failure to interpret at sight the authorized pronunciation. Yet there can be no doubt that the average grammar school pupil can be made so familiar with the method for indicating sounds, that, with the Dictionary in hand, he can in a moment assure himself of the correct pronuncia tion of any English word. To secure such ability on the part of the pupil is the aim of this handbook. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
