This book, written by a teacher of elocution, is an early guide to English pronunciation, covering both vowel and consonant sounds. Written in the 1800s, the author observed how foreigners learning English had difficulty with sounds not found in their native languages. The book was written to help students and teachers alike. The sounds are analysed in depth and there are lists and exercises to help the learner perfect their pronunciation. This book has stood the test of time and is a valuable resource for teachers and students, with insights that are still highly relevant today.
