This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1897 Excerpt: ...puss, sugar, pulpit: (This _ is a very short w-sound.) 43. The Short Vowels. There are six short vowels--a, as in bat; e, as in let; i, as in hit; d, as in not; u, as in cut; and 00 as in book. A, as in Bat, Rat, Waft, Amber, Patent, Shall, etc.--The pronunciation of this vowel in singing must be determined by the musical ear. The so-called "Yankee " a is the least fit for a musical tone. In order 'to find the most pleasing musical sound for the short a and yet be distinctly understood, put the mouth and tongue into the exact shape and position described for the long vowel aa; then modulate into a gentle smile and pronounce with a very light, short throw of air the same vowel, and you will have a musical short a. E, as in Let, Met, Ferret, Legend, Rend, Pet, Set, etc.--This vowel is also learned by a process similar to the preceding one. Let the lips assume a smiling position as in practicing the long vowel a. Then make the opening a little rounder and produce the d as a very short sound; the result will be the short /. This vowel-sound is also represented by the following characters: a--many, any; u--bury, buried; ae--Michaelmas; ea---feather, head, jealous, read; eo--leopard, jeopard; ue--guess; ai--said; ie---friend. I, as in Hit, Spirit, Split, Film, Finger, Singer, etc.--To produce the short 1, read again what has been said of the position for the long vowel ee; let the lips assume a complete smile, produce ee with a very light, quick throw of air, and you will find that you have pronounced a short i. The reader will conclude that I believe the difference between these two short vowels and their corresponding long ones, d and e, ee and i, is one of duration only, and not of sound. I have argued this point with many students of t...
