The art of teaching the orthography, accent and pronunciation of the English language by imitation. Containing a great variety of illustrative remarks: with prefatory observations on syllabication, or, the division of words into syllables; in which that system, as taught by the ancient, and some modern, grammarians, is proved to be founded on erroneous principles, which entirely defeat their own object. By John Robinson, author of the New English spelling-book, or, key to the English language
