Consequently it is more particularly to them we make this urgent apeal for moderation and unanimity in action. We shal now proceed to consider the last group of schemes, which consist of Sprague's, Macarthur's, Jones's, Rundell's, Moon's, rieay's, and our own. To which, as we said before, were it not for the system of digraphic leters, might be aded Mr. Butterfill's, for, in its system of speling, it is almost identical with the schemes in- cluded in this group. They al closely resemble each ot...her in not ad- vocating any adition to the leters of the alphabet, nor the adoption of any ideal system of phonetic speling. Indeed, Sprague has admirably suxeeded in proving that nearly every word in the language can be spelt phoneticaly not only with the ordinary twenty-six leters, but with the same arangement of them, while Macarthurhas been equaly suxesful, with the fractional diference, that he modifies to some extent the ordinary mode of aplyiug the vowels. Although in general principle these schemes agree perfectly with ours, yet there exists between us and them some points of esential diference, arising from the fact that our scheme is solely founded on the basis of natural linguistic evolution and philo- sophic simplification.
