Summary |
"1001 Questions and Answers on Orthography and Reading" by B. A. Hathaway is an educational reference book likely written in the late 19th century. This work serves as a comprehensive guide to spelling and reading, structured in the form of questions and answers aimed at teachers, students, and anyone interested in mastering the intricacies of English orthography and pronunciation. The opening of the book introduces readers to its structure and purpose. Hathaway begins with a prefatory note, expressing the intent to fill a gap in available literature on orthography and the challenges faced by educators in addressing this subject. Following this, the book is organized into a series of questions that cover various aspects of orthography—such as the nature and power of letters, definitions of terms, and rules regarding spelling. The content aims to clarify the complexities of written language, exploring foundational concepts like alphabets, vowels, consonants, syllables, and the use of diacritical marks. Thus, the opening sets the stage for a detailed discourse on the mechanics of spelling and reading, tailored for readers seeking a deeper understanding of language.
