INTRODUCTION
I first came across what is, as far as I know, the uni ue copy of
8/10/2019 Magazine, Or Animadversions on the English Spelling (1703)
3/36
_Ma azine_, by
. W., when workin in the library formed by the late SirIsaac Pitman.[1] It is bound up as the last item in a volume whichcontains several nineteenth-century pamphlets on lan ua e and spellin ,and also the first numbers of the periodical _The Phonetic Friend_. (Thevolume was for a time in the possession of the Bath City Free Library,to which it was presented by Isaac Pitman; it must subse
uently havebeen returned to him.) I drew attention to the existence of _Ma azine_in an article published in 1937;[2] to the best of my knowled
e it hadnot been noticed in print before that, thou h it is of considerableinterest in a number of respects. I am indebted to Sir Isaac Pitman &Sons Ltd., London, for permission to reproduce the pamphlet herewith inthe Au
ustan Reprints.
. W. was a spellin
reformer, one of the many writers who, from earlyElizabethan times onwards, have been critical of traditional En lishortho
raphy and have made proposals for improvin
it. Althou
h nothin
that could be called a spellin -reform movement existed until thenineteenth century, there were earlier periods when the subject was muchin the air, when a number of people were writin about it and readin and discussin
each other
s ideas. The publication of _Ma
azine_ doesnot fall at one of these times; it comes, in fact, in the very middleof a recession of interest in spellin
reform which lasted almosta hundred years. From about 1650 to 1750 there were few critics ofour ortho
raphy, and they were usually neither very stron
in their
criticisms nor radical in their proposals for amendment.
. W. is thus asomewhat isolated fi
ure, and his scheme for reform would appear, in itsdetails at least, to be fairly ori inal.
The reater part of the pamphlet is iven over to expoundin theillo icalities and inconsistencies of the established spellin , and here
. W.
s style of writin , which is collo uial, racy and allusive, iseffective enou h. It is not so well suited, however, to orderly andclear exposition of his proposed amendment--unfortunately, since thisis what is likely to be of most interest to us today (and numerousmisprints increase the difficulties of raspin his proposals). Perhapsthere was, or was to have been, a se uel which would have stated hisreforms more systematically; that this may have been the case appears
from the statement on p. 25 that the alphabet is preparin
, andfrom the mention, on the last pa e, of the ensuin Batl-dur (i.e.battledore or hornbook). His remedy, briefly, is to replace di raphs bynew symbols: more Letters would do well in the Alfabet, but fewer inmost words (p. 25); and, like John Hart before him (whose works perhapshe knew) and Bernard Shaw after, he draws attention to the economies tobe ained from this: if fewer Letters will serve the turn,
twill savePaper and Ink, and
tis stran
e, if not labour too (p. 5).
On p. 32 is exhibited a compleat Alfebet of 34 symbols (it is notcomplete, for L has, apparently inadvertently, been omitted). Althou hthere is no indication there of the value each symbol should have, thatof most of them can be worked out, with some labor, from the rest of the
pamphlet (thou
h a few must probably remain mysteries). I have commentedelsewhere[3] on this scheme of reformed spellin ; it appears to us todayto be theoretically
uite creditable, at least as far as the consonantsare concerned. The traditional alphabet is enlar ed by providin aseparate symbol for the italicized sounds in each of the followinwords: {th}in {th}en {ch}urch {j}ud e {sh}all mea{s}ure {wh}en si{n };these symbols are obtained partly by creatin
new ones, partly byredefinin existin letters. In two cases existin letters are redefinedin accordance with a rather odd principle--that the traditional _name_of a letter must decide its value. Hence _h_ is used to spell _church_
8/10/2019 Magazine, Or Animadversions on the English Spelling (1703)
4/36
(which becomes hurh), and __ is used to spell _jud e_ (which becomes
u
). This of course makes it necessary for
. W. to include amon
hisnew symbols one for /h/ and one for / /. The new symbols as used in thepamphlet are produced by invertin or reversin existin letters; butthese may possibly be makeshifts, used in place of more ambitious shapeswhich were beyond the reach of his printer; he su
ests, for instance(p. 20) the si n Taurus with a Foot-Ball between his horns as oneof his vowel symbols. On the whole, we find the vowels much lesssystematically tackled than the consonants, and it is proposed thataccents (cambrils) should for the most part be used to provide extrasymbols; the pamphlet, however, only exemplifies this sporadically.
_Ma azine_ contains a considerable number of words, and a fewconsecutive texts, transcribed partly or wholly in the new system ofspellin , and these necessarily will have to be assessed as evidence ofcontemporary En
lish pronunciation by students of the subject. It is noteasy to be sure how accurate a phonetic observer and transcriber
. W.was, but if we make some allowance for misprints, we find a certainconsistency in his transcriptions, and an apparent freedom from any bias
iven by the traditional spellin
, which make one think he wasmoderately reliable. In this connexion it is of some importance to findout, if possible, where he came from. He shows familiarity both withnorthern and western types of speech; but althou h he seems to imply, onp. 7, that he is not a North-countryman, E. J. Dobson has found, on the
basis of certain forms which appear in the pamphlet, that there is astron
su
estion that he spoke a northern dialect.[4]
Until recently I had been able to form no idea of the identity of . W.However, it new seems to be very possible that he was John White, aDevon schoolmaster, and author of _The Country-Man
s Conductor inReadin and Writin True En lish_, which was published in Exeter in1701.[5] The name John, in . W. s reformed spellin , would of coursebe in with
(it is indeed so spelled on p. 15). White was interested inspellin reform, as we know from various remarks in his book; and if hewas
. W., it would explain the familiarity shown in _Ma azine_ withwestern dialect. What is particularly strikin , moreover, is thesimilarity of White
s style to
. W.
s, as the followin uotations from
_The Country-Man
s Conductor_ will show: of certain
rammarians, youshall seldom hear them speak Latin but in Ale-Houses, or when they arewell oil
d; of specimens of early En lish, some may lau h at it, andthereby expose their rusty Teeth that will look as old as the En
lish;of usin an accent to show lon vowels, this would look stran e
tillit come in fashion, but in time would set as tite as Topknots do now.
[Transcriber's Note: A more recent candidate for
. W. is John Wild. His 1710 broadsheet, Nottin ham Printin Perfected, is in the ima es directory associated with the html version of this file.]
One final resemblance must be mentioned. Whether or not White was
. W.,
there can hardly be any doubt that _Ma
azine_ was printed by SamuelFarley of Exeter, the printer of White
s book. The typo raphicalsimilarity between _Ma
azine_ and _The Country-Man
s Conductor_ (andother works printed by Farley) is too complete to be coincidental. Notonly are the identical fonts used, but there are numerous other pointswhere the eneral manner of printin is the same.
Further research may confirm White
s authorship, but there is certainlyno other obvious candidate amon the writers of the time.

Our Children are not Witches, that they should uess to Read ri ht bythe Letter, such stuff as this, and the Masters are no very
reatConjurers, to perceive nothin ; what contradictions they make 'emswallow.
First then dayes, that is da--yes, why should not yes spell yes at the
end, as well as at the be
innin
of a word: A
ain, why mi
ht we notspell dayes thus, daise as well as praise, and spell praises, prayes,da--i--se: I see day, why not se, see, as well as he, h--? And why notdase, dayes, and phrayes, phrase, or phraise, phrase, and daze, dayes;and why not daze, or dase, daisey, or daisy, hei, daisy: how can Ladiesbe blam'd for Writin bad En lish, when Scholars spell no better?
A, as Asia, why not da; fare and ware; how can one Vowel have another,at command to make it lon ; a circumflex mi ht do it. But you answer itis our custom, and Books would not be read if we chan e the spellin ;but is there not a ri ht spellin as Ancient as wron ? Is not the asancient as wei h, yea, sea, holy, key. Then 'tis wit to use the properspellin , and leave off impertinencies; and if fewer Letters will serve
the turn, 'twill save Paper and Ink, and 'tis stran
e, if not labourtoo, for Writers; no doubt for Teachers it will.
And how many ways do we pronounce you? yo, yau, yeu, yiu, you, yuu, yetevery dialect praise their own Speech, nay in Towns near to ether, nayin the same Town, nay in the same House, persons born in other places,differ in pronounciation, and many deli ht to hear different dialects(as the
recians did) so they did but understand one another, thou
hsome precise Females do condemn all but their own finical pronunciation.
But why should phrase be spell'd with ph and s, and not f and z? Becauseyou say its Ori
inal is a
reek word: But it hath been lon
enou
hfreely us'd amon st us, that it may claim prescription for a Licence to
put on the En
