Synopsis

Excerpt from The Philosophic Alphabet: With an Explanation of Its Principles, and a Variety of Extracts, Illustrating Its Adaptation to the Sounds of the English Language, and Also of the Hebrew, Greek, Latin, French, Italian, and Spanish; To Which Is Added, a Philosophic System of Punctuation

I intend speedily to publish several works, eminently calculated to assist those who have to teach themselves foreign languages without the aid of a master; and for this purpose, all the means which the Metropolis furnishes in the arts subservient to printing, will be employed, that future specimens of this character, may so far transcend the present humble attempt, as to attract to it general attention, and lead to its general adoption.

It should be observed, that since the types were cut and I have been able to jud of the effect of the Emphatic Mark, it has appeared c ear to me, that we ought to have a horizontal, and not a vertical stroke to distinguish it from the Accent. In future publications, therefore, this difference will be made.
