PREFACE.

The object of this work is to facilitate the progress of Welsh children in the acquisition of the English language. Every one admits that it is of the highest importance in the education of the young, that they should be well grounded in Orthography. Thirty years' experience as a teacher having given the author ample opportunity of noting the peculiar difficulties in the way of Welsh children attaining a general knowledge of the English language, he would beg leave to impress upon teachers the importance of making the children under their care learn and spell every word in this little book, together with the Welsh meanings. The task, though difficult at first, will in the end reward both the teacher and the child; the former with the pleasure of witnessing his pupil's progress, and the latter with a general knowledge of both languages.

The book is divided into three parts: the first contains about 2013 monosyllables, arranged alphabetically, and classified according to the number of letters. The second contains about 7497 words, arranged alphabetically, and classified according to the number of syllables. The third contains copious English-Welsh Dialogues.

To save the trouble of putting down twice such words as are used as nouns and verbs, the author has placed the meaning of the noun in Welsh, and then the verb with a colon between them. In dissyllables, the learner will remember to place the accent on the first syllable when the word is used as a noun, and on the latter syllable when used as a verb.
