Excerpt from The Classical English Spelling-Book: In Which the Hitherto Difficult Art of Orthography Is Rendered Easy and Pleasant, and Speedly Acquired, Comprising All the Important Root-Words From the Anglo-Saxon, the Latin, and the Greek Spelling is, doubtless, one of the most difficult arts which a child has to acquire, and it must not be disguised from either parent or teacher, that this important art can not be attained but by diligent application and perseverance. This being the case, it is incumbent on the experienced teacher, or other qualified person, to endeavor to lessen this difficulty, - to render the application attractive, and the perseverance less irksome. And this can only be done effectually by analysis and classification: - by a careful and minute analysis of the materials to be employed, namely words, and by a judicious classification or arrangment of these materials into genera and species, beginning with the simplest and most elementary combinations, and proceeding, by minute grades, to the most difficult compounds. This process has been attempted, with more or less success, by many former compilers, but there is still a large and undefined margin for further improvement, and the present publication is the result of an earnest effort to occupy a portion of that margin.
