Excerpt from On Early English Pronunciation, With Especial Reference to Shakspere and Chaucer, Vol. 3: Containing an Investigation of the Correspondence of Writing With Speech in England, From the Anglosaxon Period to the Present Day, Preceded by a Systematic Notation of All Spoken Sounds by Means of the Ordinary Printing TypesIndisposition, arising from overwork, has greatly delayed the appearance of this third part of my work, and a recent relapse, rendering the revision of the last seventy pages and the preparation of this notice extremely dificult, has compelled me to postpone to the next part the illustrations for the xvn th and xvm th centuries, which were announced to be included m the present. Three years or more will probably elapse before the remainder of the book can be published.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
