In referring to Bradley's "An Improved Spelling Book" similar in format to this one and published the same year Nietz informs us that "this book was different from many others in several respects. First Bradley frankly acknowledged that 'the extracts have been taken from Webster Wood Picket Alden Bingham Flint Murray Hubbard Fordyce Walker the American Gentleman's Pronouncing Dictionary Dr. Johnson Dr. Morse and Dr. Blair all authors of spellers.'
