Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Letters and Figures While this volume is addressed especially to young readers, it will be found valuable to teachers and to the public generally. The unsatisfactory character of the school work in orthography, and especially in orthoepy, at the present time, and the oft-expressed desire of teachers for a book that will throw a clear light upon these subjects, leads us to believe that there is a real and present need for such a book. The story is entertaining in itself. It explains the inconsistencies of English spelling. It brings out, letter by letter, the subject of orthoepy, making careful distinctions, and developing in the reader a critical judgment of sounds. The book is an extension of the popular lecture on the subject which Dr. Skinner has been delivering for the past five years, and which has been received with marked appreciation.
