ERIC ED623277: McGuffey's Eclectic Spelling-Book. Revised Edition. Eclectic Educational Series

This revised speller conforms in orthography, pronunciation, and syllabication to the latest edition of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary. Exercises have been given on each of the distinctive marks used in the book, as seen by reference to Lessons 36-57. A number of lessons have been added in the department of prefixes and suffixes, and now nearly all the more common of these etymological principles have been explained. (See Lessons 136-167.) Several distinct lessons on pronunciation are given, and towards the close of the book numerous lessons of difficult words in orthography have been introduced. [This edition was revised by W. B. Watkins.]
