A Manual of Phonography, or Writing by Sound (Classic Reprint): A Natural Method of Writing by Signs That Represent Spoken Sounds - Softcover
Synopsis
This book introduces the Phonetic Society of Great Britain and Ireland, which was established in 1843 by the author and others to spread the use of phonetic spelling in print and writing. Phonetic spelling, which the author had introduced in 1837, is an approach to spelling reform that represents sounds as they are spoken, removing many of the irregularities and inconsistencies found in traditional English orthography. The book provides a detailed explanation of the principles of Phonetic spelling, including the use of simple geometric shapes to represent consonant sounds and diacritical marks to indicate vowel sounds. It also includes a history of the Phonetic Society and its efforts to promote phonetic spelling and lists the society's members as of 1848.
