ENGLISH-WELSH SPELLING-BOOK.

PREFACE.


The object of this work is to facilitate the progress of Welsh children in
the acquisition of the English language. Every one admits that it is of the
highest importance in the education of the young, that they should be well
grounded in Orthography. Thirty years' experience as a teacher having given
the author ample opportunity of noting the peculiar difficulties in the way
of Welsh children attaining a general knowledge of the English language, he
would beg leave to impress upon teachers the importance of making the
children under their care learn and spell every word in this little book,
together with the Welsh meanings. The task, though difficult at first, will
in the end reward both the teacher and the child; the former with the
pleasure of witnessing his pupil's progress, and the latter with a general
knowledge of both languages.

The book is divided into three parts: the first contains about 2013
monosyllables, arranged alphabetically, and classified according to the
number of letters. The second contains about 7497 words, arranged
alphabetically, and classified according to the number of syllables. The
third contains copious English-Welsh Dialogues.

To save the trouble of putting down twice such words as are used as nouns
and verbs, the author has placed the meaning of the noun in Welsh, and then
the verb with a colon between them. In dissyllables, the learner will
remember to place the accent on the first syllable when the word is used as
a noun, and on the latter syllable when used as a verb.
