Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Overland Monthly, Vol. 2 The vowel is often duplicated in monosyllables to indicate that the first is to have its long sound as feet, seen, and green. Two different vowels are often placed in juxtaposition for the same purpose as rain, moan, gauge. The addition of mute e to words, al though some dispute has arisen con cerning its origin, is at present but an orthographical expedient to indicate the long sound of the preceding vowel: as not, note, man, mane, pan, pane, rat, rate, pin, pine, etc.; the words of this class being exceedingly numerous. In general, all double consonants indicate the short sound of a preceding vowel. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
