Notes:

"Author's Preface" dated March, 1938, Auckland.

"Professor Wall's book is the fruit of many years of special study in England and New Zealand, and it is doubtful if anyone has a better claim to write with authority on the English language as spoken in the Dominion than the author. The importance of the spoken word in modern life has increased rapidly owing to the development of broadcasting, that some degree of standardization of pronunciation is as manifestly necessary as was the standardization of spelling when bookreading became common after the invention of printing."--Foreword signed James Shelley.
