Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Rhyming, Spelling, and Pronouncing Dictionary of the English Language Among the various attempts to facilitate the orthography and pronunciation of the English language, it is not a little surprising that the method here adopted should have been either totally overlooked or neglected. A Rhyming Dictionary in a living language, for the purposes of poetry, seems no very unnatural or useless production, and imperfect sketches of such a work have already been given us by Poole and Bysshe; but no one has hitherto thought of making a dictionary of terminations subservient to the art of spelling and pronouncing. The more obvious use of a work of this kind was perhaps an obstacle to the completion of it, and its latent, though more useful qualities, were by this means unobserved. A mere rhyming dictionary was looked on either as a bauble for school-boys, or a resource for poetasters; and the nobler ends of pointing out the analogy of orthography and pronunciation, like many other advantages, were overlooked in the insignificancy and puerility of the means. Johnson's Dictionary is scarcely more valuable for so nicely tracing the various and almost vanishing shades of the same word, than for furnishing us with so copious a collection of nearly similar words of a different form. Those who understand the harmony of prose, pay a cheerful tribute to Dr. Johnson on this account, as he admits them to a more easy and extensive view of the powers of the language, than can possibly be suggested by the memory alone; and by this means assists that delicacy of choice, on which the precision and harmony of expression so essentially depend.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rhyming Dictionary of the English Language: In Which the Whole Language Is Arranged According to Its Terminations In the Bible, the most ancient of records, we find man, at a very early period, forming both wind and stringed instruments, modulating his speech into verse, and exhibiting in the very earliest instance on record that peculiar parallelism that characterised the Hebrew poetry of all subsequent ages. When we look to language, we shall find that the words suggestive of persons, animals, things, and actions are the most important; other words do little more than connect these principal words or point out their quali. Ties and relations. These words, therefore, especially in'rns editor's preface. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
