The Shirley Institute in Manchester, England developed the tog as an easy to follow alternative to the SI unit of m sup 2 sup K W.

The Reverend Mr. Thomas Dilworth died 1780 was an English cleric and author of a widely used schoolbook, both in Great Britain and United States America , A New Guide to the English Tongue. Noah Webster as a boy studied Dilworth s book, and was inspired partly by it to create his own spelling book on completely different principles, using pictures and stories of interest to children. By some accounts Dilworth was one of the few schoolbooks used by Abraham Lincoln . Published in 1761, by 1773, it was in its thirty sixth edition. The last American edition was published in 1827 in New Haven, Connecticut . The full page frontispiece portrait of the author was well known to generations of doodling school children and is mentioned in Charles Dickens Dickens in Sketches by Boz. Chapter X there is a humorous description of rowers togs on the Thames They approach in full aquatic costume, with round blue jackets, striped shirts, and caps of all sizes and patterns, from the velvet skull cap of French manufacture, to the easy head dress familiar to the students of the old spelling books, as having, on the authority of the portrait, formed part of the costume of the Reverend Mr. Dilworth. The other front matter provides an extensive preface, a dedication to the Anglican schools of Great Britain and Ireland, recommendations from educators and a full page poetic encomium to Dilworth by J. Duick What thanks, my friend, should to thy care be given Which makes the paths to science smooth and even. Henceforth our youth who tread thy flowery way, Shall ne er from rules of proper diction stray No more their speech with barbarous terms be filled No more their pens a crop of nonsense yield.

Dilworth also wrote other schoolbooks on arithmetic and bookkeeping. External links http www.arts.uwo.ca c ... more details
