Atlanta (Georgia, United States) (search for this): chapter 161
A Yankee Spelling-book.
We have received from the publishers, Messrs. Toon & Co., of Atlanta, Georgia, a spelling-book, which we regret to be compelled to denounce as unworthy of public favor.
It is, as the author, Mr. Fleming, admits, a revised edition of Webster's Spelling-Book — in other words, it is a Yankee school-book.
It is the duty of the Southern press to unite in putting it down.
Mr Fleming tells us in his preface that no better spelling-book than Dr. Webster's has ever been presented to the American people, ample proof of which he finds in the Yankee test of the unparalleled extent of its circulation.

Mr Fleming tells us in his preface that no better spelling-book than Dr. Webster's has ever been d by pronouncing dew doo, and cow keow.
In truth, it would be well for us to have an entirely new language, unknown and unpronounceable in Yankee land.
We must have new coins, new weights, new measures, as unlike Yankee coins, weights, etc., as possible.
We must be a distinct people in every thing, or else we will never be independent.
At all events, we must not be duped with a Yankee spellingbook, such as Mr. Fleming and Messrs. Toon and Co. are attempting to palm upon us.--Richmond Whig.
