Pronunciation (Classic Reprint) Robert Palfrey Utter

Excerpt from Pronunciation IN the pages immediately following I have placed, for various reasons, much Of the material Often put into prefaces; there I have explained what I am trying to do, and how I have set about to do it. For the preface, then, I have naught left but to acknowledge my Obliga tions, which makes it few Of words and full Of import. I am, of course, most heavily indebted to all dictionary makers, on whose work I have Of necessity depended so much that I can acknowledge my indebtedness only in general. For encouraging companionship and scholarly help in the first stages Of the work, I am most heartily grateful to Mr. Philip W. Payne, who in more fortunate circumstances would have been my collaborator through out. For faithful and accurate work on some Of the less inspiring parts Of the task I am indebted to Miss Florence Elwell, Of Amherst; and to Miss Agnes V. Doherty, Miss Ethelwyn Manning, and Miss Luella M. Nash, Of the staff of the Amherst College Library. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
