Mr Knight has lately taught a young womau, in my parish, to read, 
on the principles of the Plan of Teaching he is about to submit to the 
Public I was twice present when he was engaged, and was much 
pleased with the pro6clency of his pupil, itidk the perfect acquaintance 
she manifested with the peculiarities of Mr Knight*s system.

Edinburgh, 1th Die. 1840. 

I had the gratification of hearing Mr Knight's Pupil, at her 16th 
Lesson, read, in his accented New Testament, a few verses, which she 
bad no opportunity of previously preparing ; and this day, at about the 
27th or 28th Lesson, she not only easily read in it, but also to my great 
admiration, a number of verses, with little difficulty, and without 
preparation, in tlie ordinary School Testament.

on the 5th of October thereafter.

TO 

THE REV. ALEXANDER DUFF, D.D. 

CALCUTTA. 

MY DEAR SIB, 

I dedicate this book to you^ with grecii 
affection as well as with much propriety. When you were 
in Scotland this year^ I had the pleasure of receiving your 
approbation of the plan, the first idea of which occurred to 
me some years <xgo, on reading your very interesting pam* 
phlet entitled^ *< A new Era of the English Language^ It 
surprised and delighted me to find that the people of India^ 
so wedded to their own customs and ancient superstitions^ 
had become anxious to be made acquainted with the English 
Language and Literature, I wcu incited to try some method 
of lessening their labour in acquiring the pronunciation^ by 
simplijying, and thus facilitating, the acquisition of that part 
of the language which is most difficult of attainment, and 
which bars the very entrance; while, by adhibiting the plan to 
the New Testament, the Word of God might be rendered the 
easiest, at the same time that it is the very best medium of 
communicating language. May we not hope that while em^ 
ployed in learning words which are merely signs, the Holy 
Spirit may infuse the knowledge of the things signified? 

It gives me much pleasure to acknowledge my obligations 
to you for the interviews which you were pleased to afford 
me amidst your various and overwhelming avocations, and 
for the kind letters which I received from you on this sub* 
ject. That the blessing of the Almighty, which you invoked 
upon my labours, may continue to rest upon your unwearied 
exertions to promote the cause of our Gracious Redeemer^ 
and the best interests of our fellow-creatures, both in time 
and eternity, is the fervent wish of, ' 

Mr Dear Sim, 

Yours very sincerely, 

GEO. KNIGHT.

AKO TKK WORD WAS OOD." 

Ip the material system of the universe be gltnrious, and a knowledge of all its do. 
partments important-^nuch more glorious and important to tye known in all its 
parts must be that moral system^ for the sake of which alone the material fabric 
was reared; a system, throughout which the ''Sun of Righteousness," as its 
centre, diffuses the light of heavenly wisdom, and the riches of heavenly joy. And 
with whatever pity or oompasslon the philosopher may feel himself entitled to 
look down -upon the untutored peasant — 

'' Whose 'soul proud science never taught to stray^ 
Far as the solar walk or milky way ;" 

and for whom suns arise only to light him to his toils, and set only to leave him 
to recruit his exhausted strength; with much greater pity and compassion is that 
peasant, if he has been taught in the school of Christ, entitled to look down oa 
the proudest name that ever science owned, if separated from the knowledge of 
God in Christ Jesus. A knowledge of the works of God our own unaided efforts 
are able to attain ; a knowledge of God himself, none but God, manifest in the 
flesh, co\ild reveal ; and he surely is a wofitl monument of the utter perversion of 
the human mind, who prefers the former of these species of knowledge to the 
latter— 4md imagines that he ennobles himself, by extending our knowledge of the 
things that God has made, while he perhaps sneers at the man who^ by studying the 
work of rademption, is seeking to extend our knowledge of God himself. If 
Christ be our Prophet, it is no longer a question whether the infonnation which 
he came to give^ be more important than any Information which we could acquire 
without his advent. He has given us the revelation of God, and if we neglect 
it, or prefer any other knowledge to it, we do so at our peril. The goapel is not 
one of the things which, if it do us no good, will do us no harm. 'We must all 
aooount to Christ for the use whioh we have made of the knowledge given ; and 
to each of us it will be the savour of life, or the savour of death. It will save ua 
from our sins^ or it will leave us without excuse. If Christ, tlierefbre^ be our 
Prophet^ we are bound by the most sacred ties, and under the most fearful sane- 
lions, to attend to his instructionB with the most reverential regard; fbr surely it 
will not be said that he can be eaf^, who treats as a trifle that whioh God became 
incarnate to reveal.

REMARKS 

ON 

ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION. 



Thb English Language is remarkably simple in its gram- 
matical piinciplesy and governed by fewer rules than any 
language yet known, not excepting even tbe Hebrew. The 
acquirement of it, therefore, either by natives or foreigners, 
ought to be more easy, while, on the contrary, it is more 
difficult than that of any other language. This difficulty has 
arisen from false and capricious orthography. Walker, in 
his Principles of Pronunciation at the beginning of his 
Dictionary, says, ^* Our modem orthography has done its 
utmost to perplex pronunciation.'' And Sheridan, in his 
Prosodial Grammar, observes, '^ Such is the state of our 
written language, that the darkest hieroglyphics or most 
difficult cyphers which the art of man has hitherto invented, 
were not better calculated to conceal the sentiments of those 
who used them, from all who had not the key, than the 
state of our spelling is to conceal the true pronunciation 
of our words from idl except a few well-educated natives." 

To bring order out of this confusion, Walker has laid 
down in his Principles of English Pronunciation prefixed to 
his Dictionary, no fewer than 558 rules, as well as numerous 
observations in almost every page of that most ingenious 
work, with elaborate reasonings and disquisitions from ana- 
logy and custom, to such an extent as almost to justify the 
exclamation of a Foreigner — ^^ Alas ! what English can one 
learn in thirty years !" 

The great difficulty arises from the various sounds given to 



VUl REMARKS ON 

each of tlie vowels, and even to many of the consonants, 
and from the strange circumstance of aknost all the letters 
being frequently silent^^which is a most absurd anomaly in 
language, when we consider that the very purpose of a 
letter is to mark a sound of the voice, and yet of all the' 
twenty-six letters of the Alphabet, twenty-one of them at 
least frequently mark no sound at all. Most of the vowels 
have five, and one of them has six, different sounds. Three 
of the consonants have four varieties of sound. Some single 
characters have double sounds, while single sounds are marked 
by double characters. The proofs of these observations will be 
found by consulting the Key to the Orthoepy of this book. 

But though the difficulties are very great, they are far 
from being insurmountable. The simplicity of this new plan 
of marking the pronunciation consists in leaving the vowels 
unmarked when they have their name-sounds, and the con- 
sonants when they have their common sounds. Dots are 
used to mark all other sounds, and a perpendicular line the 
total want of sound. A semicircle or crescent uniting }i to p, 
t, s, or c, marks their union in producing only one sound. 

By these simple means, the sound of each letter may 
be precisely marked without mis-spelling the words, which 
was the method adopted by even our most science 
Orthoepists, but which produced the most uncouth com- 
binations, such as dzhudzh for judge, tshurtsh for church, 
ank'shus for an'xious, luk'shure for lux'ury, masheen 
for machine. Capital letters were by some Orthoepists 
introduced even into the middle of words, and German 
characters among the Roman letters, to express English 
sounds. 

A peculiar advantage of the Authox^s present system is, that 
if a word be mispronounced by a pupil when he reads any 
Other book, and his memory be not tenacious, the proper 
pronunciation can be easily marked without deforming the 
typography or changing the orthography. A few dots, straight 
lines, or curves made with a finely pointed pencil, will com- 
pletely effect the purpose, while these marks may be easily 
obliterated when they are no longer needed ; and such is the 
ease of execution, that the Author has frequently marked a 
whole page of the Orthoepic Testament in twenty minutes, 
and so minutely, yet distinctly, as to be quite discernible, 
but not too perceptible. Oral sounds are so circumscribed, 
that such a plan, with very little variation, might extend 



ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION. IX 

to all other languages. In the French language, for example, 
there is only one vowel sound not to be found in the Eng- 
lish language, such as eu in peur. In Scotland, this sound 
is given hj the vulgar in pronouncing poor; and the sound 
being familiar to the Scots, they learn the pronunciation 
of that French sound more readily than the English do. 

Uniformity of pronunciation is certainly very desirable, 
and it is very obvious that if this or a similar method were 
universally adopted, the pronunciation would be uniform 
throughout the British Empire, its colonies, and North Ame- 
rica, as well as by all foreigners who choose to learn English. 
The pronunciation of this work is taken from the very best 
sources, namely, the Dictionaries of Sheridan and Walker, 
the latter lexicographer being still deservedly accounted the 
chief Orthoepist of the English language, and who, in the 
year 1906, attested that the Author of the present work 
thoroughly understood and practised all the sounds marked 
in his Quarto Dictionary. 

To attain a thorough knowledge of the language by search- 
ing a pronouncing Dictionary, is a labour wfich few will 
attempt. The use of a Dictionary is for occasional reference, 
whereas the pronunciation of every word which the pupil reads 
being marked as in the Orthoepic Testament, not only saves 
the trouble of searching a dictionary, but being constantly 
under the learner* s eye^ the pronunciation becomes, by continual 
reiteration, indelibly fixed on the pupil's mind, till the as* 
sistance from marks being no longer necessary, books which 
are unmarked can be read with equal facility. 

Some people object to such a method of Macadamizing the 
path of Literature. They assert that it is better for youth to 
contend with the difficulties and perplexities of Rules and 
Exceptions — ^that labour strengthens the mind as well as the 
body — ^that by thus levelling and smoothing the road, youth 
would be prevented from exerting their energies. But is no 
exertion necessary in gaining farther instruction? Is it not 
the end of all teaching to get the better of difficulties, else 
why could not each boy or girl be self-taught? To such 
objections it may be replied, that when we find the exceptions 
very numerous, the rule itself is rendered nugatory. Thus 
the simplest and most useful rule for the proper pronunciation 
of English is this, that Jinal silent ^ gives the open or name-sound 
io the preceding vowel. But the exceptions to this rule in words 
ending with ive alone amount to more than Six Hundred, while 



Z REMARKS ON ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION. 

in those words which end in He, ine, and iie^ the rule is in some 
words adhered to, and in others it is departed from, so as to 
perplex a learner in no ordinary degree. And as this usefdl 
rule is frequently departed from likewise in the pronunciation 
of all the other vowels, we have an additional reason for the 
propriety of marking every word that comes under that rule. 
The easiest method of overcoming this difficulty would he to 
omit the silent^ when it does not serve to show that the pre- 
ceding vowel is to have its name^ound ; but where is the 
authority for such an innovation upon the orthography of 
nearly a thousand words ? The omission of most of the other 
silent letters would give an immense &cility to the reading 
and spelling of English, but the language would be almost 
wholely changed by such a plan. 

If so many difficulties occur in following one rule, what a 
comfort must it prove to teachers and pupils to have all these 
obstructions removed, — ^the road levelled and smoothed ? 

As not only the natives of England, Scotland, and Ireland, 
but even those of the different counties of each of these 
countries, pronounce the same letters differently, it is almost 
impossible to convey accurate notions of the proper sounds 
of the letters without oral instruction ; but the Author, has 
endeavoured, in his 'Sblf-Instructob,' to arrive at ^certain 
data' for elucidating Oral sounds, which he trusts will be 
effectual, but which could not be properly unfolded in this 
short introduction. 



For ease in referring to the Key, it is bound so as 
to be folded out either for constant or occasional inspection. 

The Long or Short quantity of the Vowel Sounds is shown 
by the position of the Accent. 

When the Accent follows the Vowel, the Vowel is Long. 

When the Accent follows the Consonanty the Vowel is Short,
