The translation is a new one, written in a modern idiom. The facsimile text is that of the 6th edition, 1765, which is virtually identical with the text of the 5th edition, 1699-the last that Wallis himself supervised. In 1936, Martin Lehnert provided a thorough survey of Wallis's life, work, and his description of the sounds of English. As this book is part of a series concerned with the development of linguistics, it should compliment Lehnert by examining Wallis's description of the parts of speech in English and his framework for the description of language. In most cases, the spelling of English words given in the 6th edition have been retained, but the [script lowercase]f has been changed to 's' and some alterations have been made to punctuation and capitalization to bring them into line with modern usage. Where letters appear in italics they are orthographical symbols; phonetic symbols are always enclosed in square brackets, and are taken from the alphabet of the International Phonetic Association, and phonetic terminology follows Abercrombie (1967).
