Excerpt from Spoken English: Everyday Talk With Phonetic Transcription
I must take this opportunity of heartily thanking Miss Soames, who was kind enough during her recent stay here to go through most of my manuscript.
If this little book has any merit, it is chiefly due to Felix Franke and to Mr. True; I regard myself only as their coadjutor.
