PREFACE.
In revising this book, care has been taken to preserve all the
excellences that have so long and so favorably distinguished
McGUFFEY'S ECLECTIC SPELLING-BOOK: and the chief changes
that have been made, have been suggested by the evident plan of the
original work.
The old system of indicating the pronunciation by numerals, called
"superiors," has been abandoned, and the diacritical marks used by
Webster have been adopted. The Revised Speller conforms in
orthography, pronunciation, and syllabication to the latest edition of
Webster's Unabridged Dictionary. Exercises have been given on each of
the distinctive marks used in the book, as will be seen by reference to
Lessons 36-57.
A number of lessons have been added in the department of prefixes
and suffixes, and now nearly all the more common of these etymological
principles have been explained. (See Lessons 136-167.)
In arranging the text of the several lessons, the object has been not to
appeal merely to arbitrary memory, but to associate each lesson with
some principle of sound, meaning, or accent, which would tend to aid the
pupil in acquiring a knowledge of our language. Several distinct lessons
on pronunciation are given, and towards the close of the book numerous
lessons of difficult words in orthography have been introduced.
Instead of indicating silent letters by italics, as has hitherto been done,
a new type has been made in which such letters are canceled, thus
enabling the pupil to discover their status at a glance.
The pages have been enlivened, as in the other books of this Series, by
attractive engravings.
The publishers take pleasure in acknowledging the valuable services of
W. B. Watkins, D. D., who planned and executed this revision.

THE ENGLISH ALPHABET.
The English Alphabet consists of twenty-six letters, viz.:
a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,jXUm,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z.
Letters are divided into VOWELS and CONSONANTS,
The Vowels are those letters which can be perfectly sounded without
the aid of any other letter. The vowels are a, e, i, o, u, w, and y.
The vowel sounds of h' and y are the same as those of u and i. A, e^ and
o are always vowels. /, ii, h\ and y are sometimes consonants.
A Diphthong is the union of two vowels in one sound. When both
vowels are sounded, the diphthong is called PROPER, because then it is
really a DIPHTHONG, or double sound; that is, the sounds of the vowels
unite; as, oi in oih on in sound.
When only one of the vowels is sounded, the diphthong is called
IMPROPER, because then, as one of the vowels is silent, it is not
properly a DIPHTHONG, though it takes that name; as, oa in boat, iii in
suit^ where a and i are silent.
The following diphthongs are in common use, viz.: oi, oy, on, ow, ae,
at, an, aw, ay, ea, ei, eo, eu, e\v, ey, ia, ie, oa, oe, ua, lie, iii\ as in toil,
boy, round, plow, seal, coal, head, sail, say, aught, yeoman. Of these, oi,
oy, oit^ and ow are generally proper diphthongs; though sometimes ott and
ow are improper, as infamous^ where o is silent, and in slow^ where w is
silent,
A Triphthong is the union of three vowels in one syllable; as, eau in
beait^ tew in view. The triphthong is properly a union of letters, not
sounds.

4 ECLECTIC SERIES.
OF THE VARIOUS SOUNDS.
All the vowels, and some of llie consonants, have several sounds; in this book
these sounds are indicaled by diacritical marks, as in the following tables:

OF THE CONSONANTS,

without the aid of a vowel. The consonants are b. c, d. f. g. h, I. k. I. n\, n.
p, q, r, s, f, V, X, z, and sometimes /, u, \\\ and v. The consonants are
divided into MUTES and SEMI-VOWELS."

6 ECLECTIC SERIES.
The Semi-vowels are those consonants that can be sounded imperfectly
by themselves. They are / h, j, I, m, n, i\ s, v, x, ^, and c and g soft.
Four of the semi-vowels are called LIQUIDS; viz., /, m, n, and /■, They
are called liquids because they unite so readily with other sounds, or flow
into them,
OF SYLLABLES AND WORDS.
A Syllable is a sound, or a combination of sounds, uttered by a single
impulse of the voice: it may have one or more letters; as
a, bad, bad-ness.
A Word is either a syllable or a combination of syllables; as, not,
notion.
A word of one syllable is called a Monosyllable ; as, man.
A word of two syllables is called a Dissyllable ; as, manly.
A word of three syllables is called a Trisyllable ; as, manliness. Words
of more than three syllables are called Polysyllables.
Accent is a stress of voice placed upon some one syllable more than
the others. Every word composed of two or more syllables has one of
them accented. This accent is denoted by a mark (') at the end of the
accented syllable; as, niid'night, a ban'don.
A Primitive Word is one which is not derived from any other word;
as, man, great, full.
A Derivative Word is one which is formed from some other word by
adding something to it; as, manful, greatness, fully .
A Simple Word is one which is not composed of more than one word;
as, kind, man, stand, ink.
A Compound Word is one that is composed of two or more simple
words; as, ink-stand, wind-mill.
Spelling is naming or writing the letters of a word.

Lesson 26.
DICTATION EXERCISES.
NOTE TO TEACHERS .--These lessons are intended as
exercises in the meaning as well as the spelling of words.
Distinguish carefully words of similar sound, but which
differ in their spelling. At the recitation the sentences
should be read aloud by the teacher, and the pupils
required to write them out neatly and correctly upon their
slates or on the blackboard.
He ate seven or eight apples. Send the pale maid with
the pail of milk. He owed for the paper on which he wrote
an ode to the moon. We are not quite ready for the quiet
man. Age gives edge to wine. He said the idol looked like
a satyr. Clever satire often rouses the idle.

DICTATION EXERCISES ON THE ABOVE.
The lamb is a dumb animal. He climbed the hill to the
tomb, but his limbs became numb. Comb your hair, but
do not thumb your book. Bombs are now commonly
called "shells." The debtor, who was a subtle man,
doubted his word, and gave not a crumb of comfort. Take
your psalter and select a joyous psalm. His answer was,
"Pshaw!"

Lesson 62.
DICTATION EXERCISES.
Dost consider that dust thou art? He paid the servant his
hire, and the wages were higher than last year. With
whoop and hurra they tore the hoop from the barrel. The
mower will cut more grass to-morrow. The foreign consul
took counsel with the enemy, and called a council of war.
English consols are high. Kings are sometimes guilty of
flagrant wrongs. Many a fragrant flower blooms unseen.
He tore his clothes in a struggle to close the door. His
course toward that coarse lad was wrong.

Lesson 81.
DICTATION EXERCISES.
To essay the task, requires courage. The discourse was
an able essay. An agent will assay the ore, and forward a
receipt. Contemn a mean act; but do not always condemn
the actor. They were to seize the fort, and cease firing.
They affect great grief; but do not effect their purpose. Do
you dissent from my opinion? The hill was difficult of
descent. A decent regard for others' ills is human. They
advise the young to take the advice of the old. The enemy
will invade the rich province. They were strongly
inveighed against.

The ensign would not sign the paper. His design was
known. He mahgned his rival, and suffered condign
punishment. A benign face. He was arraigned after the
campaign. He deigned not to feign surprise. Squirrels
gnaw the bark. He affirmed it with phlegm. The knight
carried a knapsack. He had a knack for rhymes. She knew
how to knead the dough. They cut the knot with a knife.
The curfew tolls the knell of parting day. The knave had
hard knuckles, but little knowledge.

The awl is used by all shoe-makers. He said that he
would do aught that he ought to do. The man who stole
the bale of goods gave bail. The Bey rode a bay horse
around the bay. Deer break through the brake and brush.
He had just lain down in the narrow lane. The horse with
the long mane ran through the main street of a town in
Maine, Which of the pair of fine pears will you pare for
the child? The joiner's plane will smooth the plain door.
You can rein your horse, if it should rain. The kings reign

His assistants gave him great assistance. He was the
deviser of the machine. Which is the larger, the divisor or
the quotient? This difference being settled, he will pay
due deference to your opinion. The ingenious mechanic
was also an ingenuous man. Not a lineament could be
recognized by his friends. Apply to the wound a healing
liniment. The principal in the agreement was devoid of
moral principle. Though a great liar, he could play upon
the lyre. The rabbit was tame. The carpenter will rabbet
the boards.
