A key to letters: or, a complete introduction to Spelling and Reading English, After a New, Easy, and Familiar Method. In two parts. Part I. Contains upwards of six Thousand Words digested into Eight distinct Classes, with Orders and Subdivisions; the redundant and obscure Letters, where they occur, marked and explained, to prevent a false Pronunciation: with easy and instructive Reading-Lessons, on various subjects, properly adapted to the first four Classes. Part II. Contains, 1. A Dialogue on the Rules for dividing Words into Syllables, which are delivered in a concise Manner, and freed from every sort of Difficulty. 2. Several Tables of Words left undivided, as an Exercise on the said Rules. 3. A second Dialogue on the Powers of the Letters, with Remarks on their particular Sounds and different Coalitions. 4. A more copious Table of Words, the same in Sound, but differing in Sense, than any heretofore published. 5. Words the same in Spelling but different in Signification. 6. The Use of Stops and Marks in Reading. 7. Irregular Verbs with their Preterit and Participle passive different. 9. A large alphabetical Table of Scripture proper Names divided and accented. To which is added an appendix. The whole so methodised as to render it of the greatest Utility, not only to young Ladies and Gentlemen, for whose immediate use it is designed, but to adult Persons and Foreigners; who may learn hereby to read, write, and pronounce English with propriety and exactness. Book II. For the use of schools. By Charles Bryant, School-Master in Norwich.
