ENGLISH-WELSH SPELLING-BOOK.
LONDON: LONGMAN, BROWN, GREEN, LONGMANS, & ROBERTS. 1857.
The object of this work is to facilitate the progress of Welsh children in the acquisition of the English language. Every one admits that it is of the highest importance in the education of the young, that they should be well grounded in Orthography. Thirty years' experience as a teacher having given the author ample opportunity of noting the peculiar difficulties in the way of Welsh children attaining a general knowledge of the English language, he would beg leave to impress upon teachers the importance of making the children under their care learn and spell every word in this little book, together with the Welsh meanings. The task, though difficult at first, will in the end reward both the teacher and the child; the former with the pleasure of witnessing his pupil's progress, and the latter with a general knowledge of both languages.
The book is divided into three parts: the first contains about 2013 monosyllables, arranged alphabetically, and classified according to the number of letters. The second contains about 7497 words, arranged alphabetically, and classified according to the number of syllables. The third contains copious English-Welsh Dialogues.
To save the trouble of putting down twice such words as are used as nouns and verbs, the author has placed the meaning of the noun in Welsh, and then the verb with a colon between them. In dissyllables, the learner will remember to place the accent on the first syllable when the word is used as a noun, and on the latter syllable when used as a verb.

John Lewis's A Graduated English-Welsh Spelling Book (1857) opens with a preface grounded in thirty years of teaching experience. Lewis explicitly addresses the 'peculiar difficulties' faced by Welsh children acquiring English, and structures his book into three graduated parts: monosyllables, polysyllables, and dialogues. The excerpts show a systematic pairing of English headwords with Welsh translations, often providing multiple equivalents (e.g., 'Aim, amcan : amcanu'). A notable feature is the use of a colon to separate noun and verb meanings—a practical solution for words that serve both functions. Lewis also instructs learners to place accent on the first syllable for nouns and the latter for verbs in dissyllables, a rule embedded in the word lists themselves.
Structure and Graduation
The book's three-part division is explicitly described in the preface: Part I contains about 2,013 monosyllables arranged alphabetically and classified by letter count; Part II contains about 7,497 words arranged alphabetically and classified by syllable count; Part III offers 'copious English-Welsh Dialogues.' The excerpts confirm this graduated approach, moving from two-letter words like 'A, un' and 'Ah, O! och!' to three-letter words such as 'Act, gweithred : gweithredu' and 'Add, cyssylltu, dodi at.' The polysyllable section includes words up to four syllables (e.g., 'El-e-gance, tlysni, gwychder, tegwch'). This progression suggests a deliberate scaffolding from simple to complex, though the excerpts do not reveal how the dialogues function or whether they incorporate the vocabulary from earlier parts.
Pedagogical Features in the Word Lists
Several teaching strategies are evident. First, the colon notation: for words used as both noun and verb, Lewis places the noun meaning first, then the verb after a colon (e.g., 'Act, gweithred : gweithredu'). Second, multiple Welsh equivalents are often given for a single English word, separated by commas or semicolons—for instance, 'Air, awyr ; awyro' and 'El-e-gance, tlysni, gwychder, tegwch.' This indicates an awareness of semantic range. Third, the accent rule for dissyllables is stated in the preface and reinforced by the syllabified spelling (e.g., 'En-ter-prise' with hyphens). The word lists also include some grammatical notes: 'Em-bry-o' is glossed as 'anelwig, gorllyd, milrith,' and 'En-mi-ty' as 'gelyniaeth ; casineb.' These choices reflect a teacher's attention to common confusions.
The Welsh-English Interface
The catalog subjects classify this work under 'Welsh language -- Orthography and spelling' and 'English language -- Study and teaching -- Welsh speakers.' The excerpts bear this out: the book is entirely English-to-Welsh, with no Welsh-to-English section. The Welsh translations are given in a mix of formal and colloquial forms (e.g., 'Am, ydwyf, wyf' and 'As, megys, fel'). Some entries show dialectal or archaic variants: 'El-e-phant' is glossed as 'cawrfil, elephant ; oliffant,' where 'oliffant' is an older Welsh borrowing. The preface's phrase 'Welsh children' and the author's location in Llanrhyddlad (Anglesey) suggest a regional focus. The dialogues, though not excerpted, likely simulate real-life situations for English use. The book thus functions as a practical tool for bilingual education in mid-19th-century Wales.
Readers approaching this text should note its dual purpose: it is both a spelling primer and a bilingual dictionary. The colon notation and accent rules are essential for interpreting the entries correctly. The excerpts do not show the dialogues, so the third part remains unexamined. Lewis's preface emphasizes that children should 'learn and spell every word' with Welsh meanings—a method that treats vocabulary acquisition as the core of language learning. The book's graduated structure rewards sequential use, but its alphabetical arrangement also allows for reference-style consultation.
There’s something touching about John Lewis’s old graduated spelling book, watching Welsh children step from single syllables into whole dialogues. It makes me think of How to Teach Phonics — Story, Setting & Ideas, sitting nearby on my shelf. Different eras, but the same gentle patience—sound by sound, word by word, a hand reaching quietly across the page.

This book feels extremely outdated and uninspiring. The word choices are archaic, and the layout is dull, which is a major turn-off for today's visual learners. There are no illustrations or engaging activities, just endless lists of words. For a modern classroom, this is almost useless. Teachers would be better off using digital apps or more up-to-date resources that provide audio support and interactive games. -

A decent spelling aid for early learners, especially those in bilingual programs. The gradual progression from simple to complex words is well thought out, and the translations are accurate. However, the design is rather plain, and the lack of interactive elements or pronunciation guides makes it less engaging for children. It's functional but doesn't offer anything beyond basic word lists. -

This spelling book is a fantastic resource for young learners and even adults looking to improve their Welsh-English bilingual skills. The graduated structure starts with basic words and gradually introduces more complex spellings, making it easy to follow. The clear English-Welsh pairings enhance vocabulary retention, and the exercises are repetitive enough to reinforce learning. I've seen significant improvement in my son's spelling and bilingual confidence.
