ONE LANGUAGE FOR THE WHOLE WORLD. 



WORLD-ENGLISH i 



THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE. 25 CENTS. 



Every one has heard of the butcher who, after a long 

 search for his knife, at last found it in his mouth : so 

 speakers of English have been seeking for a universal 

 language, when, lo ! it is in their mouths. The intelligi- 

 bility of English words has been obscured by a dense 

 mist of letters. This is now dispersed by A. Melville 

 Bell, who has already won a world-wide reputation 

 through his invention of *' Visible Speech," the great 

 boon to deaf-mutes. Professor Bell calls this new discov- 

 ery of his "World-English," and the result is a language 

 which cannot fail to meet with acceptance, and at once 

 supersede the supposed necessity for " Volapiik," or any 

 other artificial languaee. No language could be invented 

 for international use that would surpass English in gram- 

 matical simplicity, and in general fitness to become the 

 tongue of the world. It is already the mother-tongue of 

 increasing millions in both hemispheres, and some knowl- 

 edge of the language is demanded by all educated popula- 

 tions on the globe. Social and commercial necessities 

 require that the acquisition of this knowledge shall be 

 facilitated, and it is believed that Professor Bell's inven- 

 tion has removed the last impediment to English becom- 

 ing the universal language, for which vague desires have 

 long been entertained, although hitherto only futile ef- 

 forts have been made. 



Ex-President Andrew D. White, of Cornell University, 

 says: " I believe that the highest interests of Christian 

 civilization and of humanity would be served by its 

 adoption. China and Japan would be made English- 

 speaking peoples within fifty years, and so brought with- 

 in the range of Christianizing and civilizing idea=;, in the 

 largest sense. All existing missionary work is trivial as 

 compared with this. For your sv stem would throw wide 

 open those vast countries, as, indeed, all the 

 the world, to the whole current of English and A: 

 thought."

DEFECTS OF SPEECH 



HAND-BOOK OF WORLD-ENGLISH, 



25 CENTS. 



The plan of this little book is altogether new. Letters 

 md sounds are so associated, in all the exercises, that from 

 ;he mere k-nowledge of letters a learner cannot fail to 

 pronounce words with certainty. English reading will 

 thus be easily acquired, whether by natives or foreigners, 

 children or adults. 



The general resemblance of World-English to Literary 

 English is such that any reader of the latter deciphers 

 the former at sight, or, at most, after a few minutes* 

 study of the new letters. A like result may be antici- 

 pated for those who shall learn to read from World-Eng- 

 lish. They will transfer their power of reading to the 

 literary form of the language, almost without effort. The 

 orthographic aspect of words will, besides, be so fixed in 

 the eye, by contrast, that spelling will be remembered as 

 — wha,t it really is — a pictorial association with words. 



No special training is required to qualify teachers for 

 using this book. The subject can even be successfully in- 

 troduced in the kindergarten and the nursery. This 

 phonetic mode of initiation in reading cannot be too 

 strongly urged on the attention of School Boards on both 

 sides of the Atlantic. 



The ordinary orthography of each word is interlined 

 with the World-English version throughout the Exer* 

 cises and Readings . 



So set down, our tongue is the best for the world to 

 unite upon. — Brooklym Eagle. 



The idea of Mr. Bell has much to recommend it, and 

 the presentation is charmingly qS-ctlX. — Avierican^ Phila. 



The result is a language which cannot fail to meet with 

 acceptance. — Bosto7i Traveller. 



Has the merit of great ingenuity. — Raihvay Age. 



His treatise, as a study of English orthoepy, condenses 

 the result of much thought and experience in small com- 

 pass. — The Critic. 



World-English deserves the careful consideration of all 

 serious scholars. — Modern Language Notes. 



World-English 1- the English language unburdened of 

 its chaotic spelling. — Popular Science Monthly.
