The manual aims to address common mispronunciations in the English language, providing clear guidance on proper pronunciation as recognized by authorities in both England and America.

He emphasizes the importance of correcting pronunciation habits formed in youth and introduces the structure of the manual, which includes a careful selection of frequently mispronounced words. The text outlines methods for effective use in educational settings, focusing on practice and repetition to instill correct pronunciations in learners' memories.
