Excerpt from The Phonographic Word-Book Number Two: Containing the Whole Body of Effective Words in the English Language, Arranged and Classified According to the Modes in Which They Should Be Written in Phonography It may, at first view, occasion some surprise, that this whole work is in Ordinary type, and that there is not, therefore, a single page Of it which presents Words phonographically Written, to the eye of the learner; The reasons for this are, in part, mechanical, and in part pertain to our philosophy Of the sound - est and best method Of teaching. The mechanical reasons it is unnecessary to explain, farther. Than to Observe, that to publish the whole of the words in Phonographic characters would render the work far too bulky and expensive, and that to intersperse portions of Phonographic matter is extremely inconvenient. Apart from these considerations, we have little doubt that an edition Of this work, in Phonographic characters, would be more acceptable with many to whom, nevertheless, it would be less useful than in its present form. We are thus led to our Second class Of reasons for preferring the ordinary type. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
