PREFATORY NOTE.

_In presenting this, the seventh book of the "1001 Question and Answer
Series," we feel that a great want is partially met. It is evident,
from the number of inquiries made for such a book, that the works
devoted to the subject of Orthography are very limited._

_We are also aware that the Authors of the different Grammars
devote such a limited space to the subject of Orthoepy and technical
Orthography, that both Teacher and Pupil turn away from the subject in
disgust._

_In preparing this list of questions and answers we have consulted
the best authority of the present day, and believe we have gone over
the ground in such a way that it will meet the approval of all
interested._

_The questions and answers on Reading we trust will add to the
interest of the book, and only hope that it will be received with as
gracious a welcome and hearty approval as the rest of the series._
