Fulton, George; Knight, George — A Pronouncing Spelling Book; with Reading Lessons in Prose and Verse

Fulton & Knight George Fulton (1752-1831) produced this with his nephew George Knight. Noted as an ingenious system of pronunciation avowedly formed on Sheridans plan, by which a very small number of marks are made to denote both the quantity and quality of the vowel sounds. This system of notation is so extremely simple that a child of four years of age is capable of understanding it and calling it in to his aid in his reading. First published 1813 this is dated 1817 to preface.
