UNDER RULE IV--NO DOUBLING

[FORMULE--Not proper, because the final _t_ of _bigot_ is here doubled in ”_bigotted_” But, according to Rule 4th, ”A final consonant, when it is not preceded by a single vowel, or when the accent is not on the last syllable, should rele before an additional syllable” Therefore, this _t_ should be single; thus, _bigoted_]

UNDER RULE V--OF FINAL CK

”He hopes, therefore, to be pardoned by the critick”--_Kirkham's Gram_, p 10

UNDER RULE VI--OF RETAINING

”Fearlesness, exemption from fear, intrepidity”--_Johnson's Dict_

[FORMULE--Not proper, because the word ”_fearlesness_” is here allowed to drop one _s_ of _fearless_ But, according to Rule 6th, ”Words ending with any double letter, preserve it double before any additional ter with the same letter” Therefore, the other _s_ should be inserted; thus, _fearlessness_]
