Excerpt from English Visible Speech for the Million: For Communicating the Exact Pronunciation of the Language to Native or Foreign Learners, and for Teaching Children and Illiterate Adults to Read in a Few Days The Object of Visible Speech IS not - as some have supposed - to supe orsede ordinary letters. NO revolution in national orthography is aimed at. The system simply furnishes a key TO all letters here and elsewhere, and an international medium in which every Language may be expressed with universal legibility. The Visible Speech Alphabet being, however, much simpler than other alphabets, the system has an additional applicability to the teaching Of the illiterate, inall countries, to read their native tongue. This utility is altogether new - created by Visible Speech - and the system does not therefore in this respect stand in any degree Of rivalry with common writing. Common letters can never be learned without such an expenditure of time, as puts the acquisi tion Of Reading beyond the reach Of toilers for their daily bread. The staunchest advocates for our historical spelling may thus, equally with the Opponents of a phonetic orthography, become the advocates for a special system Of Letters which may co-exist-with the old and venerated A B C, and with other old alphabets, and which fulfils a class of international and social purposes for which the latter were not intended, and for which they never can by any modifications be adapted.
