'

In presenting you with the North American Spelling
Book, I feel a deference. This arises' principally from
a knowledge of the many books of the kind now before
the public.
__r'
That there will ~e a perfect .agree!llent of opinion with
respect to .any parllcular book, as bemg the Qest _e.lement~ry book, 1s hardly to be expP.cted. And, perhaps, there '
Is no one, that has not something to recommend it. But
there ar~ two parti~ulars in ,which, r presume, there can
be no difference of opinion: First, that every elementary
boo~ sh?qlrl consist principally of spelling columns; : for
-spelhng.J§,_the foundation of reading; and, without good
knowledge of the one, it would be in vain to attempt .the
other.
..
. Secondly, that the reading lessons should, as far as possible, bP- adapted to'the under~tanding nnrl progressivP- im- .
provement of children; that they shoul<l be such, as will
~end to .awaken inquiry, and at the same time, bring down
mstructmn to the level of their capacities. ln these respects, l am persuaded every parent and instructer will·
agree with me.
-- ,
· ·
,
'"

A .conviction that the elementary books, now in use, are
deficient to a considerable degree in one or both of these
respects, led me to compile the present \\'ork-a work, l
acknowledge, humble in itself. How well I have executed
it, and supplied those deficiencies, I sha1l leave to you, and
the public, to judge.
·
:
1t is proper that I should give you some account of my
plan and ari"angemei)t.
·
. /
My spelling columns are more copious than those of any
elementary book with which I · am acquainted, an~ / ar-

provement of the child, as will appear more fully. by refer·
ence to them; and 1 have endeavoured to render the reading lessons interesting to children, by bringing them down
to their understanding and capacity, and by conveying instruction in h famiJiar styJe and manner. A spelling book
_ should be, ~ mphatically, a child's book; and whatever is
'~, not within his capacity and ability to underst~nd, is U:Seless _
~- - and manifestly improper. These prrinciples I have en. deavored _to ·keep constantly in my ..view. lt is the ·child
1 have epdeavoured to instruct. _·
_
_
I did not deem it necessary to ent_er into an analysis·of
, ._ the s~mnds, our vowels and consonants. That belongs
_ properly ,to the department of grammar. Nor have 1 dis- ting~hed the long and sho;t vowels of the words in the
_ columns by figures, or other marks, as some have done~ "t _.Tllis c~rtainly-eould be of .no use to the teacher, and -it
-_- ·would only serve to perplex and confuse .the child. For
- the-same reason, I have not written every silent letter in
·· italics. But in general, where the silent letter or letters .
·~ -inight tend-to embarrass the child, or lead to an incorrect
-~:- pronunciation -of the word, 1 have written them in that
character. ,
·~~ _ In the division of words into syllables, I have followed
,_ t?e most approved pronunciation. This is the only gene," - rul rule to_be observed .. 1 have adhered to it, in every in: ~ta~ce, as far as practicable. There are a few words,
; _-_whic!i would be -rendered ino~e difficult by such a divisic;m.
:·- These are collected together m section 15. ~
·~
-_ It is a general rule in our language that g and c, when
· _ _they end words and syllables, have their hard sound. But
~- - in many words, ~here they end syl_lables, th~y have their
.;,_ S?ft sound ; th~t is, ~he sound of J and s. These words
~~ will be fou~d ~n sec hon 12th, where I. h_
a ye given .my rea-~-- sons for deviatmg from the common d1v1s1on. lt is also a
' _ rule that g and c, before e, i and y, have their soft sound.
,: ~ut t~e~e are some ~ords, in which g hath its hard sound;
;: _-__that is, its sound as m the word gone, even before those
-~ VQwels. Most of these words are collected in section 9tlt

This made the people of the village angry, and .they ran

People will not know that they are good boys. They will

James, yoµ must remember not to be in company witl~

There was a little boy whose name' was Charles. He

loved his book, and his school; and sometimes 11e· was at
the head of his class. He never took pleasure in hurting

He always obeyed his teacher. · He never spoke bad

to do any thing, he went willingly, and returned as soon
as he had done it. He took no pleasure in hurting ·ai:1mb

So -every.body loved him. No wonder then that his
failier and mot,hh loved him dearly; and used to sRy to
each other, When Charles wows to be a. man , what a
good man he will be! One day when he was at school
his .mother madt[ a la r~e cake,, and s~nt it to him by the
ma1~. When he got it, he said to his playmates l .have
a cake·; ·come let us eat it. And they came abo'ut =him
and he gave a piece to one, and a piece to another till h~
gaxc ahnost all of it away.
'
~Vhc:-t Wf!;s len he put aw~~, for the next.day; so tl1ey,all
cat _thc1r ~a~c, and thanked L:har]cs very kmcll y; and went
agam _to tbe1r pl~y. Presently there came into the ,yard an
_old blind man, a,nclsat down upon a stone. He saia, my
pretty lads, shall I play~ tune for yo~ 1 And they all said,
yes; and... came ~rnund lum to_hear him play. And ·as· he
played, C~arles pbserved the tears to run down his cheeks.
A~d he said, olq man, why do you cry? And the old man
~d, 1?ec1';1:1se I a_m .v ery hungry. I haye no body to give '
m~ any dinners /1or suppers, and I-cannot .work, because_I
cannot see. 1fllcould work, I would. Then Charles went,

'M

with(.;mt saying a word, and brought the rest of his cake,
which he had intended to eat the ne~t day, and gave it to
the old man. And the old man was very glad, and thanked
him for his kindness, and prayed the Lord to bless him.
And Charles was better pleased, than if he had eaten ten
cakes; for he was tender hearted, ..-.nd wished to help every
body, who was in nee9, as far as he could.

SECTION 12.

It is a general r ul e in ou r languzigc to divide' \\·orch as
they are. pi:onoun ced. , '.l'h is rend?rs both the spelli11g and
pronunc1at10n easy. I he follO\-vmg \Vords are genera lly
divided in a different nrn.nncr, for the reason that g and c,
when they en d wo.r ds, have their hard sound uniformly;
and the same rule is thought to apply to them, when they
end svllahles. }lence, in the \vo rds, where tlwy have their
- sofi souiio-:1 ley are "g enerally connected with the following
svl lable. Thus, instead of writiug mag-ic, it. is wrilten mac."x,c. I have followed th ~ natural div i~ion of the w_ords,
heing convinced from experience that children acquire a
knowledge of spelling, with more facility , when wor?s ar~
divided as they are pronounced, than when otherwise divided. ln a short time, and with a little instruction, they
will be able to distinguish the hard sound of these consornrnts from their soft sound .
.
In c:rneral, when c or g cornes hct\\'ccn two vmvcls , 1f
the pt~~ceding vowel be short, it i~ ·to . be joined to that
vnwcl, and han~ its snit sou11 cl 1 as 111 the above example:
but, if the preceding vowel be _long, it is to be ~o~nect~d ·
with the following vowel, as m the .word lo-gi-cz-a.n: m
which the vowel of the first syllable _1s long. And if the
.a ccent be upon the 's yllable in ,which g or c has its ~oft
s9und, the vowel of that syllable is short. In. the followrng
words, c or g, when it e~1?s a syllable, has its soft souud;
c sounds ass, and gas;.

book. And, w_hen in school, he would not sil_still, but
w as all ilhe time teasing those who sat next to him;· and
striving to make ltheqi as bad as himself. One day his
teacher said to him: . Jack, why do you not attend better
to you~ book, and. learn as other boys do. - I _am ~ sorry y~u .

William Wf?uld rise early in the morning, wash his : hand_s and face, and comb his hair; and then get his book~ ·
and learn his task or his lesson: and he would do a11 this 1
· _while ·many other boys were sleeping in bed, and wasting
away their -time. One morning, while he was · taking a
walk in the garden, he said: Papa, how beautiful lhe -su~
rises among the trees, and how sv~/eetly the birds sing, as if
to welcome his approach! ·yes, William, this is a
. pleasant ·morning, and we have
charming walk. A
great many little boys like you never see the ~un· rise,
nor h~ar the birds sing in the morning. They are idle
boys, arid sleep a'vvay the'. most delightful part of the day. .
... B,y risit}g e~rly, you see nature in all its beauty; you hyhold the charms that are spread over creation; . you
breathe a pure and \yholesorne air; you acquire a reli ~h .
for your breakfast, and are better prepared for doing _tl)e
duties of the day. Yes, papa: I think I can learn -n1y
lesson better, \vhen I _get up early in the morning; -and!l .
am sure, I feel better all the day for it.

There was a little boy; whose name I do. not recollect:
but he was a very good boy : he was kind and tender
hearted : he would not tell a falsehood bn any account,
nor speak any wicked words .; and he wished to do no_hami
· to any creature. He knew it was very wrong to .torture,
and kill flies, and even the worm t~at crawls upon .the
ground. And if he saw any of his brothers and sisters, or

cruel it was, and try to persuade them to do so
more.
One da.1 he~ foun? a ~est with some eggs in · it. He

be very mll!nght5 and cruel: it will give pain and sorrow to

large birds ; and then I will take them home, and feed ·

· to see them eat their food, and drink water. And oh!
- ·bow it will delight me. I will not hurt them, nor will 1
_· let any _bnidy else do i~. I-le went to tl~e nest almost every

- · ':fhe .Jamb perhaps is the most inoffensive ~fall animals.
It 1~playful and sportive i.n the fields, and plays and jumps
around it~ ip.other, and caresses her in return for 'her fond. ness and care. Good .children are sometimes called lambs·
because, like the lamb, they do no har.m, are cheerful and ·
pleas~nt, an? e.ndea vo~ to. requite the care of their parents,
by_ bemg <l1:1tiful and obefl1e~t to them ; by loving their bro- .
thers and sisters, and behavmg toward them with kindness
· and affection.
·
·- l d'" the ' sci·ipt~re our Savior is called the lamb of -God.
He was a pattern of all goodness, kindness, and benevolen_ce. While he w~s with his pare~ts, he lov~d an~ obeyed them. We are mformed of no rnstance, m which he
transg_ressed .their commands; and so .good ·and so perfect
was his character, that he grew up in fa vor with God and
. men.· After that, he went about doing good to all persons
who needed his assistance. He healed the sick : he cured the lame : he opened the eyes of th e blind : he instructed
the ignorant: he . comforted the afflicted; and preached _
the gospel.
_
. Children, you should endeavor to imitate the cheerful- .
ness and innocence of the lamb; and strive to follow the
example of our Savior in abstaining from evil, in obeying
your parents, and in doing all the good to others, -in your
power; so that like hiri1,-you may grow up in the favor of
God and man .
· When the lamb is grown, it is then called a s_heep, and
is a very useful animal. Its flesh is excellent meat. Of its
wool,' clothes are made to keep us warm in the winter.
Its skin is made into leat~er, with w hich books are com·

1s a bmld ammal, and very fearful of the dog; which is
s0metimes very destructive to them, killing great numbers,
and often ruining whole flocks; ' .· '
', In many parts of the world, _sheep constitute tbe princip~l wealth of some classes of the inhabitants ; and if pro~
~rly attended to, will richly repay the husbandman. ·
.) The innocence of the lamb engages our affections, · and
interests our feelings. As Emily passed along, she beheld
r . a !amb expose~ to the chilling blasts of winter, apparently
'f .expiring with -cold. She took it up, ana endeavoured to
rescue it from death. Here, Jane, are some verses ui)on
