This book provides an outline history of English spelling from the
Anglo-Saxon' adoption of the Roman alphabet to the present day. It
shows the respective influences on modern usage of native French
and Latin orthographies and attempts a definition of the manner in
which spelling stabilised. A final chapter traces changing notions
of correctness in spelling during the last four centuries, and also
gives a summary of the principle movements for its reform in favour
of a more consistent and phonetic system of notion. Students in
higher education specialising in English or linguistics and also
those studying other languages at an advanced level should find
this a useful book. The general reader with an interest in the
history of his language or the question of spelling will find it
most readable -- .
