ADDENDA TO HOMOPHONES IN TRACT II
Several correspondents complain of the incompleteness of the list of Homophones in Tract II. The object of that list was to convince readers of the magnitude of the mischief, and the consequent necessity for preserving niceties of pronunciation: evidence of its incompleteness must strengthen its plea. The following words may be added; they are set here in the order of the literary alphabet.
Add to Table I (p. 7)
band, 1 a tie, 2 a company.
bend, 1 verb, 2 heraldic sub.
bay, 1 tree, 2 arm of sea, 3 window,
4 barking of dog, and 'at bay',
5 a dam, 6 of antler, 7 a colour.
