Every-Day Errors of Speech
by L. P. Meredith
About the author
L. P. Meredith is known from 19th-century works including Every-Day Errors of Speech and The Teeth and How to Save Them. Contemporary title pages identify Meredith as an M.D., D.D.S., suggesting a background in both medicine and dentistry.
The books themselves show a practical, instructional style. The Teeth and How to Save Them focuses on dental health for general readers, while Every-Day Errors of Speech offers advice on pronunciation and common language mistakes, reflecting the era's strong interest in self-improvement and everyday education.
Reliable biographical details beyond the published works are hard to confirm from the sources I found, so much of Meredith's life remains unclear. What does stand out is a clear effort to write useful, accessible books meant to help ordinary people speak with more confidence and care for their health more effectively.
