An early seventeenth-century Scottish schoolmaster sets out rules for spelling the British tongue: Latin and native vowels, consonants and how they are abused, syllables, accents, apostrophes and hyphens. A second part treats grammar, from person, number and case to the moods of the verb, all written in Hume’s own Scots-flavoured spelling and edited by Henry B. Wheatley.
