Bechtel, John Hendricks, 1841-

"Slips of Speech : a Helpful Book for Everyone Who Aspires to Correct the Everyday Errors of Speaking"

Bechtel
Who does not make them? The best of us do. Why not avoid them? Any one
inspired with the spirit of self-improvement can readily do so. No
necessity for studying rules of grammar or rhetoric when this book can
be had. It teaches both without the study of either. It is a
counsellor, a critic, a companion, and a guide, and is written in a
most entertaining and chatty style.

HANDBOOK OF PRONUNCIATION
By John H. Bechtel
What is more disagreeable than a faulty pronunciation? No other defect
so clearly shows a lack of culture. This book contains over 5,000
words on which most of us are apt to trip. They are here pronounced in
the clearest and simplest manner, and according to the best authority.
It is more readily consulted than a dictionary, and is just as
reliable.
