Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from English Words as Spoken and Written, Designed to Teach the Powers of Letters, and the Construction and Use of Syllables and Words
Written words are characters designed to cause the reader to conceive certain sound combinations which, Whether heard or imagined, express ideas. Every word in our language has its sign-character. The art of constructing or construing these characters is called spelling.
Word characters are composite, their sign-structure being strictly analogous to the sound-structure of the words they signify.
