DESIGNED FOR USE IN BUSINESS COLLEGES, ACADEMIES, ETC. By CHARLES E. SMITH Author of "A Practical Course in Touch Typewriting NEW YORK Isaac Pitmem & Sons, The Phonographic Depot 2 West 45th Stieet Toronto, Canada The Commercial Text-Book Co. The Copp, Clark Co., Limited. s Ui'i<^ PREFACE. As the title indicates, the plan of this speller is cumulative. Each lesson consists of sixteen words, the first twelve of which are respellod phonetically and defined. The syllabication, pronunciation, and definition of the remaining four words should be assigned to the student, either as homework or seat-work. A homework dictionary, containing all of these special words, is included in the speller at the end of the first hundred regular lessons. This feature of the work is intended to afford the student a ready means of acquiring the dictionary habit — a habit so essential to all phono- graphers who take pride in turning out accurate work. Nearly all of the words assigned for homework are later on repeated in the regular lessons, so that the lessons review themselves and reduce to a minimum the necessity of having special review lessons- This book can, of course, be used in the ordinarv way by those who do not know shorthand, and also by those students who have not yet finished the study of the theory. The importance of using shorthand and typewriting in conjunction with the study of spelling can hardly be over-estimated. For those who have completed the study of the theory, the following plan is recommended : Allow the students to take their spelling lesson in the typewriting department. At least two lessons should be assigned, and the students should prepare the shorthand outlines so that they can take the words in shorthand from the teacher's dictation. This dictation should not occupy more than half a minute. The students should then be required to write the words on the typewriter from the shorthand outlines, and,afterwards exchange papers and con'ect with pencils. Two of the regular lessons when taken up in this way should not occupy more than ten minutes of the teacher's time and the results will be found most gratifying. The Standard Dictionary has been the chief authority consulted in the preparation of this work. It should be noted in such words as occurrence, commission, etc, that when the accent is on the second syllable, the last letter of the first syllable is regularly repeated in the second. In forming shorthand outlinos this repeated letter may generally be omitted except in a few negative words. 449425 Cumulative Speller & Shorthand Vocabulary.

Examples : His aim was, to foster the interests of the natives. To continue, I will now show the consequence of my argument. 11. It is used also to set off an adverb or adverbial phrases when they cause a break in the construction of a simple sentence. Examples : This curiosity of theirs, ho.vever, was attended with vei-y serious effects. And yet I knew that every wrong, However old. however strong. But waited God's avenging hour. 12. It is used to set off prepositional phrases when they interrupt the sequence of a simple sentence, or when they are separated from words on which they are dependent. AND SHORTHAND VOCABULARY 131 Examples : American aristocracy is, to some extent, a matter of wealth. By study, we may add to oxar store of knowledge that acquired by our ancestors. 13. It is used to set off a conjunction when it is divided from the main clause dependent on it or when it introduces an example. Example : The collision was inevitable, but, by timely assistance, the crew was saved. 14. It is used occasionally to set off interjections. Example : Yet then from all my grief, O Lord, Thy mercy set me free. 15. It is used to set off a word which it is desired to emphasize. Example : Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty ! 2. The Semicolon (;) The semicolon is used to indicate a separation in the relations of the thought in a compound sentence — a degree greater than that expressed by the comma. 1. It is used to separate different statements ; that is, the different clauses of a compound sentence wliich are already separated by commas. Example : We may live without poetry, music, and art ; We may live without conscience, and live without heart: We may live without friends ; we may live without books; But civilized man can not live without cooks. 2. It is used to separate two or move simple menibers of a sentence when these require a pause greater than that which a comma would mark. Example : Who lives to nature rarely can be poor ; who lives to fancy never can be rich. 3. It is used before " as " when employed as an introductory to an example. Example : That which is not permitted or allowed ; as, the illicit sale of intoxicants. 132 cumulative spellek 3. The Colon (:) The colon is used as a sign of apposition or equality to connect one clause with another that explains it, as in introducing a list, a quotation, an enumei-ation, or a catalog ; or to join clauses that are grammatically complete yet closely connected in sense; or to mark any discontinuity in sense or gi-ammatical construction greater than that which is indicated by a semicolon, but not sufficient to require a period or a dash. 1. It is used to separate one complete clause from another. Examples : The power to bind and loose to Truth is given : The mouth that speaks it is the mouth of Heaven. Love is the emblem of eternity : it confounds ?11 notions of time : effaces all memory of a beginning, all fear of an end. 2. It is used in sentences in which the semicolon has been intro- duced when a gi-eater pause is required than can be indicated by a semicolon. Example : It surely was not obscurity ; it was not weakness : it was a want of that sen?itive taste which ought to breathe its delicate sense of fitness into the plainest phraseology. 3. It is used to introduce a formal quotation. Example : A writer in the Wextminster Review discourses in this fashion : " Another curious observation upon philosophic activity is that the coordination of all functions which constitute the whole intellectual energy of philosophic minds is preserved in its plenitude for only a short period of their whole duration of life."* 4. The Period (.) 1. The period or full stop is used after every complete declarative statement. Example : Consider the end. 2. After title-headings and side-heads. 3. After most abbreviations. Examples : A.M. for ante meridian ; LL.D. for Doctor of Laws ; e.g. for ejempli gratia (for the sake of example . 4. After Roman numerals, except when they are used to number pages. 5. The Dash (— ) The dash is used to mark (1) a change of thought or construction or (2) an emphatic or unexpected pause. * Phelps, English Style in Public Discourse, p. 133. AND SHORTHAND VOCABULARY i 33 Examples : 1. He may live without books — what is knowledge but grieving P He may live without hope — what i^hope but deceiving ? 2. What say ye ? Speak now — now or never. 6. The Interrogation Point (?) The note of interrogation or eroteme is used at the end of a sentence to designate (1) a single question or (2) more, and (3) is sometimes written in parentheses to express a doubt or challenge the accuracy of a statement. Examples : 1. Truths would you teach, or save a sinking land ? 2. Father of Light ! Great God of Heaven ! Hear'st Thou the accents of despair ? Can giiilt like man's be e'er forgiven ? ' Can vice atone for crimes by prayer ? 3. Petni. Manco Capac, with his wife, and sister Mama Ocello, arrives from China (?), and claims to have been sent by the Deity to reclaim the tribes from savage life. 7. The Exclamation Mark (!) The note of exclamation or ecphoneme is used after a word or phrase to express sudden emotion, and is sometimes repeated for emphasis. Examples : Ah ! What were man should Heaven refuse to hear I Never ! Never ! ! Never ! ! I 8. Quotation Marks ("..."; '...') 1. Double quotation marks or guillemets are used to designate that the matter within them is a direct quotation from another author or is dialogue. 2. Single quotation marks are used within double quotation marks to designate that the matter within them is a quotation from another author or speaker cited by the first author whose matter is printed within the double mark?. Examples : " Gi'ant White, referring to Milton, says ' Milton calls Raphael " the affable archangel," and makes Adam say to him, as he is about departing heavenward : ' Gentle to me and affable hath been Thy condescension, and shall be honored ever With grateful memoiy.' " 3. Double quotation mai'ks are sometimes used in citing titles, a of books, but titles are often printed in italic type, and when this is done quotation marks are not used. 134 cumulative speller and shorthand vocabulary 9. Parentheses ( ) 1. The parentheses are used to separate an explanatory or qualifying clause, or a sentence inserted in another sentence which is grammatically complete without it. Examples : The wallflower, on each rifted rock, From liberal blossoms shall breathe down (Gold blossoms frecked with iron-brown) Its fragrance. The columbine is a herbaceous plant of the crowfoot family (Ranunculaceae), vfith the leaflets shaped like those of the meadow-rue 2. They are used also in connection with the titles of books (a) to separate the place and date of publication from the text, thus presei"ving the continuity of same ; ( i) to enclose references or figures denoting numerical sections or other divisions; (c) to enclose notes of interrogation inserted to express doubt of the correctness of the statement made- Example : (a) Mrs. Massingbird published "Sickness, Its Trials and Blessings" (London, 1868). The uses referred to under (h and (c) above are so frequent as not to require illustration. 10. The Apostrophe (') The apostrophe is used to denote the possessive case, which is made in the singular by adding s with an apostrophe, as also in the plural of Bouns that do not end in * — as, man's, men's. The plural possessive, when the plural already ends with an s, is foniied by adding an apostrophe after the word — as, horses' teelh; that is " the teeth of horses." 11. The Caret (a) The caret is used only in writing, to denote where omitted words or letters are to be inserted. 12. The Dierbsis { " ) The dieresis or dialysis consists of two dots placed over a vowel. 1. It is placed above one of two vowels when these follow one another, to show that they do not form a diphthong — as Danae. 2. It is used sometimes (but, in general, modem practice discards it) over the second vowel in words where the vowel is doubled — as, zoophyte. The " Standard Dictionary " discards the dieresis altogether. ABBREVIATIONS. A. America; American A. B. (Artium Baccalaureus) Bachelor of Arts; able- bodied seaman Abp. Archbishop A. C.

The student, to increase his speed, and to improve his knowledge of Phonography, cannot read too much well-engraved shorthand. One advantage of. studying the Isaac Pitman system — and one which cannot well be over-estimated — is, that the shorthand literature in that system is far in excess of all other systems combined.

Each lesson consists of sixteen words, the first twelve of which are respelled phonetic- ally and defined.

A homework d'ctionary, containing all of these special words, is included in the speller at the end of the first hundred regular lessons. This feature of the work is intended to afford the student a ready means of acquiring the dictionary habit — a habit so essential to all who take pride in turning out accurate work. 10 •,• A special edition of " Cumulative Speller " is also issued with a Shorthand Vocabnlaiy for schools teaching the Isaac Pitman system. • Cloth, gilt, 145 pp., 50c.
