As I have said before, I never had any large respect for good spelling.
That is my feeling yet. Before the spelling-book came with its arbitrary
forms, men unconsciously revealed shades of their characters, and also
added enlightening shades of expression to what they wrote by their
spelling, and so it is possible that the spelling-book has been a
doubtful benevolence to us.
