The Grammar of English Orthography by Goold Brown

The principles of grammar can never have any beneficial influence over any person’s manner of speaking or writing, till by some process they are made so perfectly familiar, that he can apply them with all the readiness of a native power; that is, till he can apply them not only to what has been said or written, but to whatever he is about to utter.

But how shall, or can, this readiness be acquired? Answer is by a careful attention to such exercises as are fitted to bring the learner’s knowledge into practice.

In this book we will study and practice Letter, Capitals, Syllables, Figure of Words, Spelling.
