PREFACE. 
 
 In the Introduction to this Dictionary, may be found remarks on ortho- 
 epy or pronunciation, orthography, etymology or the derivation of words, 
 grammar, archaisms, provincialisms, Americanisms, and on various other 
 points of philology and lexicography, and also explanations of the principles 
 adopted in the preparation of the work. Prefatory observations are also pre- 
 fixed to the enlarged edition of Walker's " Key," inserted in this volume, and 
 likewise to the Pronouncing Vocabulary of Modem Geographical Names. To 
 these several introductory pages the reader is referred for various explanations 
 and remarks, which it is urmecessary here to repeat. 
 
 In relation to etymology, or the derivation of English words, the general 
 rule which has been followed is, to give the etymons of such words as are 
 derived from languages foreign to the English, namely, the Greek, Latin, 
 French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, German, Danish, Swedish, &c. The Anglo- 
 Saxon being the mother tongue of the English, and the greater part of the 
 English words which are of most frequent occurrence being derived from 
 that language, with more or less change of their orthography, the etymology 
 of these words of Anglo-Saxon origin is, for the most part, omitted. 
 
 Much attention has been bestowed on the subject of orthoepy or pronuncia- 
 tion ; and, with regard to words of various, doubtful, or disputed pronunciation, 
 the authorities for the different modes are exhibited ; so that this Dictionary 
 will show the reader in what manner these words are pronounced by all the 
 most eminent English orthoepists. With respect to words variously pro- 
 nounced. Walker says, " The only method of knowing the extent of custom 
 in these cases, seems to be an inspection of those dictionaries which professedly 
 treat of pronunciation. We have now so many works of this kind, that the 
 general current of custom, with respect to the sound of words, may be col- 
 lected from them with almost as much certainty as the general sense of words 
 from Johnson. An exhibition of the opinions of orthoepists about the sound 
 of words, always appeared to me a very rational method of determining what 
 is called custom. This method 1 have adopted." The method thus counte- 
 nanced by Walker has been pursued, in this Dictionary, much further 
 than he had the means of doing it, inasmuch as most of the works 
 which are made use of, as the principal authorities, have been published 
 since his time. With respect to many of the words about the pronunciation 
 
iv PREFACE. 
 
 of which orthoepists differ, it is difficult to decide which mode is to be pre- 
 ferred ; and it is not to be supposed that the mode for which the Compiler 
 has indicated a preference, will, in all cases, be esteemed the best ; but Avhen 
 it is not, the reader will find the mode which he may prefer, supported by- 
 its proper authority. 
 
 About twenty years since, flie Oompiler edited "Johnson's Dictionary, 
 as improved by Todd, and abridged by Chalmers, with Walker's Pronouncing 
 Dictionary combined ; " and while executing that task, he formed the plan 
 of his small work, entitled, " A Comprehensive Pronouncing and Explanatory 
 Dictionary of the English Language;" but before completing this latter 
 work, he was induced to undertake the labor of making the octavo abridg- 
 ment of Dr. Webster's "American Dictionary of the English Language." 
 These tasks of editing and abridging were performed in accordance with 
 certain principles and rules laid down by the publishers of the former work 
 and by the author of the latter ; and as to the selection of words, their or- 
 thography, etymology, pronunciation, or definition, or as to any want of con- 
 sistency of 1±ie two works with each other, the Editor and Abridger had no re- 
 sponsibility, further than was implied by the rules prescribed far his guidance. 
 
 After beginning the preparation of his " Comprehensive Dictionary," the 
 Compiler adopted the practice of recording all the English words which he 
 met with, used by respectable authors, and not found in Todd's edition of 
 Johnson's Dictionary. This practice was continued with a view to provide 
 the means of improving the "Comprehensive Dictionary." But he found the 
 words which were not registered in any dictionary more numerous than he 
 anticipated, and, his collection having accumulated beyond his expectation, 
 he at length formed the design of preparing a new and larger dictionary, 
 which should contain as complete a vocabulary of the language as he should 
 be able to make. 
 
 The Dictionary of Johnson, as corrected and enlarged by Todd, and 
 Walker's Critical Pronouncing Dictionary, have been made, in some degree, 
 the basis of the present work ; but the words found in those dictionaries have 
 been revised with much labor and care, in relation to their orthography, pro- 
 nunciation, etymology, definition, &c. ; and a great part of them, especially 
 such as relate to the arts and sciences, have been defined entirely anew. 
 Such of the words found in Todd's Johnson as are in common use, familiar 
 to all who read and speak the language, and with regard to the propriety 
 and use of which there can be no doubt, are, for the most part, left without 
 any cited authority ; but for such words as aie obsolete, antiquated, rare, pro- 
 vincial, local, or disputable, the authorities found in Johnson's Dictionary 
 are retained, and many not found there have been added. 
 
 To the words found in Todd's edition of Johnson's Dictionary, nearly 
 27,000 more have been added, and for all these, authorities are given, except a 
 few, such as the participial adjectives amusing, entertaining, established, Sac, 
 for which authorities would be useless. All the verbs of the language that 
 
PRE^'ACE. V 
 
 are often met with, both regular and irregular, are conjugated; and the 
 preterits and perfect participles of the irregular verbs are inserted separately 
 in their alphabetical places ; but of the regular verbs, the present and perfect 
 participles ending in ing and ed are not inserted as separate etrticles. If this 
 had been done, as it has been in several other dictionaries, it would have 
 added upwards of ten thousand more articles to the vocabulary ; which would 
 have considerably increased the size of the volume, without materially in- 
 creasing its value. 
 
 To the words now added to the vocabulary, and not found in Todd's 
 Johnson, an asterisk has been annexed ; and it will be seen that, on many of 
 the pages, more than half of the words are of this description. The newly 
 added words have been collected from a great variety of sources. The tech- 
 nical and scientific terms have generally been taken from scientific works, 
 or from dictionaries of the various arts and sciences ; as Brande's " Diction- 
 ary of Science, Literature, and Art;" Ure's "Dictionary of Arts, Manufac- 
 tures, and Mines ; " Crabb's " Technological Dictionary ; " Falconer's " Ma- 
 rine Dictionary ; " Dunglison's " Medical Dictionary ; " Bouvier's " Law 
 Dictionary ; " Loudon's " Encyclopaedias ; " the " Penny Cyclopaedia ; " and 
 many other dictionaries of the different arts and sciences, and various en- 
 cyclopaedias, the titles of which are to be found in the Catalogue of works 
 of this kind, in the Introduction of this volmne. The greater part of the 
 miscellaneous words have been collected by the Compiler in the course of his 
 reading during many years. A considerable number of words have been 
 taken from several English dictionaries, particularly those of Ash, Richard- 
 son, and Smart. With respect to Webster's Dictionary, which the Com- 
 piler several years since abridged, he is not aware of having taken a single 
 word, or the definition of a word, from that work, in the preparation of this ; 
 but in relation to words of various or disputed pronunciation, Webster's au- 
 thority is often cited in connection with that of the English orthoepists. — 
 The Rev. Dr. William Allen, late President of Bowdoin College, having, in 
 the course of his reading, collected several thousand words not found in any 
 dictionary, favored the Compiler with the use of his manuscript, who, on 
 comparing it with his own collection, obtained between fourteen and fifteen 
 hundred additional words, which have been inserted. — The authorities cited 
 for the miscellaneous words are mostly English ; and in many instances the 
 names of English authors have been chosen in preference to the names of 
 American authors of equal or even higher respectability; inasmuch as it is 
 satisfactory to many readers to know, in relation to a new, uncommon, or 
 doubtful word, that it is not peculiar to American writers, but that a respect- 
 able English authority may be adduced in support of its use. 
 
 A dictionary which is designed to be a complete glossary to all English 
 books that are now read, must contain many words which are obsolete, and 
 many which are low or unworthy of being countenanced. Many of the 
 words which have been inserted by the Compiler, and still more of those 
 
 (A*) 
 
vi PREFACE. 
 
 which were admitted by Johnson and Todd, no writer of good taste would 
 now be likely to use. The Compiler has not, indeed, inserted all the words 
 which he has found used by respectable writers ; yet he apprehends that he 
 shall be more censured for being too liberal, rather than too exclusive, in his 
 views respecting the admission of words into a dictionary. He has deemed 
 it advisable to insert a considerable number of words of very questionable 
 propriety, found in respectable works, with the name of the author as the 
 authority ; for it is believed that it will be satisfactory to many readers, when 
 they meet with a rare or disputable word, to be able to turn to a dictionary 
 and see by what other writer it may have been used. 
 
 Much care has been taken to note such words as are technical, foreign, 
 obsolete or antiquated, local or provincial, low or exceptionable. The gram- 
 matical forms and inflections of words have been given more fully than 
 ever before in any English dictionary ; and brief critical notes on the 
 orthography, the pronunciation, the grammatical form and construction, and 
 the peculiar, technical, local, provincial, and American uses of words, are 
 scattered throughout the volume ; but among such a multiplicity of matters, 
 it will doubtless be found that many things have been neglected or unsatis- 
 factorily treated. The limits of the work, indeed, are not such as to admit of 
 the discussion of every doubtful point, or of as much verbal criticism as would 
 be necessary to settle the relative merits of every doubtful word. The design 
 has been to give the greatest quantity of useful matter in the most condensed 
 form, and to specify, as far as practicable, authorities in doubtful or disputed 
 cases. 
 
 There are many English dictionaries, of various degrees of merit, now in 
 use ; and it may be thought not desirable to increase the number. But the 
 Compiler, encouraged by the manner in which his small work had been re- 
 ceived, undertook the preparation of this larger one, with the hope that he 
 might be able to give it some peculiar characteristics which would render it not 
 wholly unacceptable or useless to the public. Though not without experience 
 in labor of this sort, he was not, perhaps, when he formed the design, sufli- 
 ciently impressed with the arduousness of his undertaking or the insuificiency 
 of his qualifications ; of both of which he has had abundant and constant 
 occasion to be sensible. No amount of labor or compass of knowledge can 
 render an English dictionary faultless ; and this is doubtless susceptible of 
 many and great improvements. Yet, defective as it is, it has cost the Com- 
 piler no trifling labor to bring it to its present state, of which some evidence 
 may be apparent to any one who will examine it. He therefore submits it to 
 an impartial public, with no high claims or sanguine expectations, yet with 
 the hope that it will not be adjudged entirely destitute of merit, either in 
 its plan or in its execution.

PKINCIPLES OF PRONUNCIATION. 
 
 REMARKS ON THE KEY. 
 
 1. The words which are used in the preced- 
 ing Key, as examples for illustrating the several 
 sounds, exhibit accurately, when pronounced by 
 correct speakers, the different sounds of the 
 respective letters. Some distinctions are here 
 made which are not found in most other systems 
 of notation ; they are, however, not intended to 
 introduce any new sounds, but merely to dis- 
 criminate such as axe now heard from aU who 
 speak the language with propriety. 
 
 2. When the marks of pronunciation are 
 affixed to words in their proper ortliography, 
 in this Dictionary, without respelling them, the 
 vowels which are not marked are silent: thus 
 a in heat, hear; e in dhle, give, harden; i in 
 pain, heifer ; o in mason, famous ; u in fur- 
 lough ; and w in follow, are not sounded. 
 
 3. The system of notation which is here used, 
 while it makes a very exact discrimination of 
 the different sounds of the letters, will be readily 
 understood and easily applied to practice ; and 
 it will also be much more easily remembered, 
 than a system in which the vowels are marked 
 with figures. By applying the marks to the 
 letters of the words in their proper orthography, 
 the necessity of respelling most of them has 
 been avoided ; and in this way much space has 
 been saved, while the pronunciation is fixed with 
 as much exactness as if the spelling of every 
 word had been repeated. 
 
 4. It is an advantage of this method of nota- 
 tion, that it distinguishes the syllables which 
 receive a secondary accent, or are pronounced 
 with a distinct sound of the vowels, from those 
 which are but slightly or indistinctly sounded. 
 A great part of the words of the English lan- 
 guage that have more than two syllables, have 
 more than one syllable in some degree accented, 
 or pronounced more distinctly than the rest ; yet 
 this difference in distinctness is not made appar- 
 ent by the usual modes of marking the words. 
 In this notation, the vowels in the syllables 
 which have either the primary or secondary ac- 
 cent, have a mark placed over them denoting 
 a, distinct sound ; while those which are more 
 feebly uttered have a dot placed under them. 
 Take, for example, the following words, which 
 are thus noted : sun' shine, pd'per, dn'ec-dote, 
 cdr-q-van', lit'er-ql, mdn-i-fes-td'tiqn, tn-di-vis-i- 
 bWi-ty. In these words, it will be readily per- 
 ceived, that all the vowels which have a mark 
 placed over them have a distinct sound, or are 
 more or less accented, while those which have a 
 
 dot under them are but slightly or indistinctly 
 sounded ; and that the pronunciation is as clearly 
 represented to the eye in their proper orthogra- 
 phy, as it is, in other methods of notation, by 
 respelling the words. 
 
 5. There are many cases in which the vowels 
 are pronounced with so slight a degree of dis- 
 tinctness, that it may be a matter of indifference 
 whether they are marked with the distinct or 
 indistinct sound ; as, for example, the last sylla- 
 ble of the words consonant, diffident, feebleness, 
 and ohmons, might, with nearly equal propriety, 
 have the vowels marked with a short or an indis- 
 tinct sound. 
 
 SOUNDS OP THE VOWELS. 
 
 6. The first, or long, sound of each of the 
 vowels marked thus, d, e,i,d,u, is styled its al- 
 phabetic or name sound, being the sound which 
 is heard in naming the letter. — The sound of 
 the letter y, when used as a vowel, is the same 
 as that of i; but as a vowel, it begins no 
 properly English word. 
 
 7. The long sound of the vowels is generally 
 indicated, in monosyllables, by a silent e at the 
 end of the word, preceded by a single conso- 
 nant, as in fate, mete, pine, note, tube, type. 
 The following words, however, are exceptions ; 
 namely, have, are, and bade, the preterit of <o bid. 
 The vowels have regularly the long sound if 
 final in an accented syllable, as in ba'sis, le'gal, 
 tri'al, sono'rous, cu'bic, tyfrant. 
 
 8. The second, or short, sound of the vowels is 
 generally indicated, in monosyllables, by the 
 absence of mute e at the end of the word, as 
 in fat, met, pin, not, tub, hyp. It is also the 
 usual sound of a vowel in an accented syllable 
 which ends with a consonant, as in aban'don, 
 alten'tive, exhiVit, lacon'ic, reludtant, lyr'ical. 
 
 9. The fourth sound of the vowels, a, e, i, 
 0, and u, and the third sound of y, (called, with 
 respect to e, i, u, and y, short and obtuse,) marked 
 thus, a, £, 'i, 6, u, y, is the short sound of these 
 several vowels, when, in a monosyllable or in an 
 accented syllable, they are succeeded by r final, 
 or by r followed by some other consonant ; as, 
 far, hard; her, herd ; fir, firkin ; nor, north ; fur, 
 burden; myrrh, myrtle. Some orthoepists make 
 no distinction between the sound indicated by 
 this mark and the proper short sound of these 
 vowels ; others make a distinction in relation to a 
 part of them only. The vowels having this mark 
 are pronounced with as short a sound as they 
 
SOUNDS OF THE VOWELS. 
 
 readily receive when thus situated. The pecu- 
 liar character of this sound, which distinguishes 
 it from the proper short sound of the vowels, is 
 caused by the letter r ; and this letter, thus sit- 
 uated, has an analogous influence on the sound 
 of all the vowels. The difference hetween the 
 sound of the vowels when thus situated, and their 
 proper short sound, will be readily perceived by 
 the following examples ; as, man, marrow ; mar, 
 mart; — men, merry; h£r, merchant; — fin, mir- 
 ror ; fir, mirth; — not, borrow; nor, border; — 
 tun, hurry ; fur, hurdle. There is little or no 
 difierence in the sounds of the vowels e, i, u, 
 and !/, when under this mark ; as, her, fir, fur, 
 myrrh ; but their proper short sounds are widely 
 different when followed by r, as well as by other 
 consonants, as in merry, mirror; hurry. — See re- 
 marks on the sound of the letter R, page xviii. 
 
 10. Vowels marked with the dot or period 
 underneath, thus, a, e, i, q, u, y, are found only 
 in syllables which are not accented, and over 
 which the organs of speech pass slightly and 
 hastily in pronouncing the words in which they 
 are found. This mark is employed rather to 
 indicate a slight stress of voice, than to note 
 any particular quality of sound. If the sylla- 
 bles on which the primary and secondary ac- 
 cents fall, are uttered with a proper stress of 
 voice, these comparatively indistinct syllables 
 will naturally be pronounced right. In a ma- 
 jority of cases, this mark may be regarded 
 as indicating an indistinct short sound of the 
 vowels ; as in tenable, mental, travel, peril, idol, 
 forim, carry ; but in many cases it indicates a 
 slight or unaccented long sound, as in carbonate, 
 sidphqte, ebony, follower, educate, regulate, con- 
 gratulate. The letter u, in the last three words, 
 IS pronounced like yu, slightly articulated. The 
 vowels with this mark have, in some situations, 
 particularly in the last syllable of words ending 
 with r, no perceptible difference of sound ; as 
 in friar, speaker, nadir, actor, sidphur, zephyr. 
 
 A. 
 
 11. The third sound of the letter a, marked 
 thus, a, ia its long sound qualified by being fol- 
 lowed by the letter r; as in care, fare, pare. The 
 diphthong ai, followed by r, has precisely the 
 same sound, as in fair, pair ; so also, in some 
 cases, has the diphthong ea, as in bear, pear. 
 There is obviously a difference in the sound of 
 a in these words, as they are pronounced by 
 good speakers, and its sound in pain and faie. 
 There is the same difference between the sound 
 of a in the word pair, and its sound in the word 
 
 payer, one who pays ; also in the word prayer, a 
 petition, and in the word prayer, one who prays. 
 
 13. The fifth sound of a, marked thus, a, is 
 an intermediate sound of this letter, between its 
 short sound, as in fat, man, and its Italian 
 sound, as in far, father. With respect to the 
 class of words, which, in this Dictionary, have 
 this mark, there is much diversity among orthoe- 
 pists. Most of these words, by Nares, Jones, 
 and Perry, are marked with the Italian sound, as 
 iafar and father ; but Walker and Jameson mark 
 them, or most of them, with the short sound, as 
 a in fat, man ; Pulton and Knight mark them as 
 being intermediate between tlie short and the 
 Italian sound ; and Smart, though he gives a in 
 most of these words the short mai-k, says, in re- 
 lation to it, " There is, in many words, a dispo- 
 sition to broadness in the vowel not quite in 
 unison with the mode of indication, as may be 
 perceived in an unaffected pronunciation of 
 grass, graft, command. This broadness is a de- 
 cided vulgarism when it identifies the sound 
 with a. The exact sound lies between the one 
 indicated and the vulgar corruption."

 13. The letter e has, in several words, the 
 same sound as a in fare; as in heir, there, 
 where ; but were is properly pronounced wer. In 
 clerk and sergeant, it has, according to most or- 
 thoepists, the sound of a in dark and margin. — 
 See CiiERK and Sergeant. 
 
PRINCIPLES OF PRONUNCIATION. 
 
 14. When e precedes I or n in an unaccented 
 final syllable, in some words it has an indis- 
 tinct short sound, and in some it is entirely 
 suppressed. It is sounded in Jlannd, travel, 
 vessel, chicken, sudden, wooUen, &c. ; and it is 
 suppressed in drivel, grovel, hearken, heaven, &c. 
 
 15. The letter e is generally suppressed in 
 the preterits of verbs, and in participles ending 
 in erf, when the e is not preceded by d oi t; 
 as, feared, praised, admired, tossed, suppressed, 
 Tironounced feard, praisd, admird, tost, supprest 
 
 I. 
 
 16. The long sound of the letter i is heard 
 not only in monosyllables ending with a mute e, 
 as in JUe, time, &c., but also in the word pint, 
 and in the words child, mild, wild; also in lind, 
 blind, find, hind, kind, mind, rind, &c. 
 
 17. There is a class of words, mostly derived 
 from the French and Italian languages, in which 
 i retains the sound of long e ; as, ambergris, an- 
 tique, bombazine, brazil, capivi, capuchin, caprice, 
 chagrin, chevaux-de-frise, critique, frize, gabar- 
 dine, haberdine, quarantine, ravine, routine, fas- 
 cine, fatigue, intrigue, invalid, machine, magazine, 
 marine, palanquin, pique, police, recitative, man- 
 darine, tabourine, tambourine, tontine, transma- 
 rine, ultramarine, verdigris. In the word shire, 
 i commonly has the same sound ; and some also 
 give it the same in oblige and oblique, — See 
 Obliqe and Oblique. 
 
 18. In words which terminate in He and ine, 
 with the accent on the penultimate syllable, the i 
 in the final syllable is generally short ; as, fertile, 
 hostile, adamantine, intestine, &c. The follow- 
 ing are exceptions : edile, exile, gentile, pentih, 
 feline, ferine, confine, and a few others. Also 
 when the accent is on the antepenult, words 
 ending in He generally have the i short; as, 
 juvenile, puerile, &c. ; but it is long in chamo- 
 mile, reconcile, eolipile, infantile. 
 
 19. With respect to words ending in ine, 
 and having the accent on the antepenultimate, 
 there is much uncertainty as to the quantity 
 of i ; and in relation to a number of such words 
 there is much disagreement among orthoepists ; 
 yet the general rule inclines to the long sound 
 of i in the termination of this class of words. 
 In the following words, i, in the last syllable, is 
 generally pronounced long : adulterine, almadine, 
 armentine, asinine, belluine, bizantine, briganiAne, 
 eanndbine, coluhrine, columbine, celandine, concur 
 bine, cotintermine, coralline, erystalline, eglantine, 
 legaiine, leonine, metalline, muscadine, porcupine, 
 saccharine, sapphirine, saturnine, serpenliM, tur- 
 
 pentine, uterine, vesperiiM, viperine, vUvlirm.— 
 In the following words, i, in the last syllable, 
 is short : discipline, feminine, genuine, heroine, 
 hyaline, jessamine, libertine, masculine, medicine, 
 nectarine, palatine. With respect to dkaline, 
 aquiline, as well as some others, the orthoepists, 
 as well as usage, are divided. In the termina- 
 tion ine of a class of chemical words, the i is 
 short ; ^, fluorine, iodine, nepheline, &c. In the 
 termination ite, the i is sometimes short, as in 
 respite, granite, favorite, infinite, &c. ; and some- 
 times long, as in expedite, appetite, satellite, &c. 
 In a class of gentile nouns, and appellatives, 
 formed from proper names, it is long ; as, Hivite, 
 Wicliffite; also, generally, in names of minerals; 
 as, avgite, steatite, tremolite. 
 
 20. When i ends an initial syllable without 
 the accent, and the succeeding syllable begins 
 with a consonant, the i is generally short or in- 
 distinct, as if written e, as in civility, divine, 
 finance; but the exceptions to this rule are 
 numerous, among which are biquadrate, chirog- 
 raphy, biography, divaricate, librarian, primeval, 
 tribunal, vitality, and many others, in which the 
 i is pronounced long. There is also a con- 
 siderable number of words witli regard to which 
 there is a diversity, in relation to the pronun- 
 ciation of the i, among orthoepists and in usage ; 
 as, dilate, diverge, virago, &c. 
 
 O. 
 
 21. There is a class of words ending in /, 
 fl, ss, st, and th, in which o is marked with the 
 short sound in most pronouncing dictionaries, 
 though some ortlioepists give it the sound of 
 broad a, as mfaU, Mr. Nares gives the sound 
 of broad a to o in the following words : off, 
 often, offer, coffee, scoff, aloft, lofi, soft, cross, 
 loss, toss, cost, frost, lost, tost, broth, cloth, froth, 
 cough, and trough. To these some others might, 
 with equal propriety, be added ; as, offspring, 
 dross, gloss, moss, mxAh, wroth. Mr. Smart 
 remarks, "that before ss, st, and th, the letter 
 is frequently sounded dw ; as in moss, gloss, 
 &c., lost, cod, &c., broth, cloth, &c. This 
 practice is analogous to the broad Utterance 
 which the letter a [short] is liable to receive 
 before certain consonants ; [see A, page xi. ;] 
 and the same remarks wUl apply in the present 
 case, as to the one referred to, namely, that, 
 though the broad sound is vulgar, there is an 
 affectation in a palpable effort to avoid it in 
 words where its use seems at one time to have 
 been general. In such cases, a medium be- 
 tween the extremes is the practice of the best 
 
SOUNDS OF THE VOWELS AND DIPHTHONGS. 
 
 xiu 
 
 speakers." The sound of o is also somewhat 
 prolonged in gone and begone, and in some 
 words ending in ng-; as, long, prong, song, 
 strong, thong, throng, wrong. 
 
 22. There are a few words in which o has 
 the same sound as u in huU, or as oo in good; 
 namely, bosom, wolf, woman, Wolsey, Wolver- 
 hampton. It has the sound of short u in done, 
 son, &c. ; and the sound of il (as in hurt) in 
 word, work, worthy &c. 
 
 23. In many words ending in on, the sound 
 of o is suppressed, as in bacon, pardon, weapon, 
 reason, cotton, &c. 
 
 U. 
 
 24. With respect to the maimer of designating 
 the sound of the vowel u when it comes imme- 
 diately after the accent, as in the words educate, 
 nature, natural, &c., there is much diversity 
 among orthoepists. By Walker, the pronun- 
 ciation of Educate is thus noted — ed'ju-hdt; 
 by Sheridaji, Jones, Enfield, Fulton, and Jame- 
 son, thus — ed'u-kdt ; and by Perry, Knowles, 
 Smart, and Reid, thus — ed'u-kdt. Nature, 
 by Walker, thus — nd'chur ; by Sheridan and 
 Jones, thus — nd'chur; by Perry, Enfield, and 
 Reid, thus — nd'tur ; by Jameson and Knowles 
 thus — ndt'yur ; by Smart, thus — nd'tur, or nd'- 
 ch&r. Natural, by Walker and Jones, thus 
 — ndt'chu-rdl; by Sheridan, thus — ndt'chur-dl ; 
 by Fulton, Enfield, and Jameson, thus — ndt'u- 
 rdl ; by Perry and Reid, thus — ndtfu^ral ; by 
 Knowles, thus — ndt'yur-al ; by Smart, thus — 
 ndt'cho-rdl. There is a pretty large class of 
 words with respect to which there is a similar 
 diversity in the manner in which the pronun- 
 ciation of u and tu is noted by the difierent 
 orthoepists ; but the difference is greater in ap- 
 pearance than in reality. The u thus situated 
 may properly be regarded as having the slight 
 sound of long u; and the sound may be noted 
 by yu, slightly articulated. — Walker remarks, 
 with respect to the pronunciation of nature, 
 " There is a vulgar pronunciation of this word 
 as if written na'ier, which cannot be too care- 
 fully avoided. Some critics have contended 
 that it ought to be pronounced as if written 
 nate-yure ; but this pronunciation comes so near 
 to that here adopted [nd'chur], as scarcely to be 
 distinguishable ftom it" 
 
 y. 
 
 25. Y, at the end of a word, preceded by a 
 consonant, is commonly pronounced short and 
 indistinct, like indistinct e ; as, policy, pcdpoMy, 
 
 lately, colony, &c. — The exceptions are mono- 
 syllables ; as, by, cry, dry, fly, fiy, sty, wry, with 
 their compounds, atery, hereby, whereby, &c. ; 
 also verbs ending mfy; as, fortify, magnify, 
 testify, &c. ; also, ally, occupy, and prophesy. 
 
 SOUNDS OF THE DIPHTHONGS AND 
 TRIPHTHONGS. 
 
 26. A diphthong is the union of two vowels, 
 pronounced by a single impulse of the voice ; as, 
 oi in voice, ou in sound. 
 
 27. A triphthong is the union of three vowels, 
 pronounced in like manner ; as, ieu in adieu, iexv 
 in view. 
 
 28. A proper diphthong is one in which both 
 vowels are sounded ; as, oi in voice, ou in found. 
 
 PROPER DIPHTHONSS. 
 
 ea in ocean ; io in nation ; ua in assuage ; 
 
 eu " feud ; oi " voice ; ue " desuetude ; 
 
 ew " jewel ; ou « sound ; ui " languid, 
 
 ia " poniard; ow" now; 
 
 ie " spaniel; oy " boy; 
 
 The diphthongs which begin with e or i, name- 
 ly, ea, eu, ew, ia^ ie, and io, differ from the rest ; 
 and they may, as Walker says, " not improperly 
 be called semi-consonant diphthongs ;^ being 
 pronounced as if y consonant was substituted 
 in place of e or i ; as, ocyan, ponyard, questyon, 
 
 29. An improper diphthong has only one of 
 the vowels sounded ; as, ea in hear, oa in coal.

 M. 
 
 30. This is a Latin diphthong, and is always 
 long in Latin. In English, it is used only in 
 words of Latin origin or formation ; as, aqua vitas, 
 minutiee, eesthelics ; and it is sometimes long, as 
 in peean, and sometimes short, as in Dad'alus. 
 
 AI. 
 
 31. The usual sound of this diphthong is the 
 same as long a; as in pail, pain, pronounced like 
 pcde, pane. The following are the principal 
 exceptions. It has the sound of short e in said, 
 says, and sailh, and in again and against ; that 
 
 (B) 
 
PRINCIPLES OF PRONUNCIATION. 
 
 of short a in plaid and raiUery; that of long i in 
 aisle ; and in a final unaccented syllable, it has 
 the obscure sound of the indistinct short r, as in 
 fountain, mountain, curtain. 
 
 AO. 
 
 32. This diphthong occurs oiJy in the word 
 gaol, pronounced, as well as very often written, 
 jail. 
 
 AU. 
 
 33. The conunon sound of this diphthong is 
 the same as that of broad a, or aw, caul and haul 
 being pronounced exactly like call and hall. 
 But when these letters are followed by n and 
 another consonant, the sound is changed, in a 
 number of words, to that of the Italian a in far 
 and father; as, by most of the orthoepists, in the 
 following words: aunt, craunch, daunt, fount, 
 gaunt, gauntlet, haunch, haunt, jaunt, jaundice, 
 laundress, laundry, maund, paunch, saunter, 
 staunch. Some orthoepists pronounce a part 
 of these words with the sound of broad a, as 
 most of them do the "word vaunt. In the words 
 laugh and draught, this diphthong has likewise 
 the sound of a in far ; in gauge, the sound of 
 long a, (as in page ;) in hautboy, the sound of 
 long ; and in cauliflower, laudanum, and 
 laurel, it is commonly pronounced with the 
 sound of short o ; as, coViflower, &c. 
 
 AW. 
 
 34. This diphthong has the sound of broad a, 
 bawl and ball being pronounced exactly alike. 
 
 AY. 
 
 35. This diphthong has the sound of long a, as 
 in pay, hay, dz.c. ; except in quay, which is pro- 
 nounced ke ; and in Sunday, Monday, &c., the 
 last syllable is pronounced as if written Sundy, 
 Mondy. 
 
 EA. 
 
 36. The regular sound of this diphthong is 
 that of long e; as in beat, hear, pronounced like 
 beet, here ; but there are many words in which 
 it has the sound of short e ; as, head, dead, ready, 
 &c. In a few words it has the sound of long a ; 
 as in break, steak, great, bear, bearer, forbear, for- 
 swear, pear, swear, tear, wear. In some words it 
 has the sound of a in far ; as in heart, hearten, 
 hearty, hearth, hearken ; and, when unaccented, 
 it has only an obscure sound, as in vengeance, 
 sergeant. 
 
 EAU. 
 
 37. This triphthong is used only in words 
 derived from the French. In beauty it has the 
 
 sound of long u ; but its regular sound is that 
 of long 0, as in beau, bureau, fanibeau, &c. 
 
 EE. 
 
 38. This diphthong is almost always pro- 
 nounced like long e; the principal exceptions 
 are been, (bin,) and breeches, (britches.) The 
 poetical contractions e'er and ne'er, for ever and 
 never, are pronounced as if written air and nair. 
 
 EL 
 
 39. This diphthong has most commonly the 
 sound of long a, as in deign, eight, feign, feint, 
 
 freight, heinous, inveigh, neigh, neighbor, veil, 
 weight, heir, tlieir, &c. But there are many ex- 
 ceptions. It has the sound of long e in ceil, 
 ceiling, conceit, conceive, deceit, deceive, inveigle, 
 perceive, receipt, receive, seize, seizin, seignior, 
 seigniory, seine ; commonly also in either, neither, 
 and leisure. (See Either, Neither, and Lei- 
 sure.) It has the sound of long i in height and 
 sleight ; of short e in he^er and nonpareil ; and, 
 in an unaccented syllable, an indistinct sound 
 of i, as in counterfeit, foreign, foreigner, forfeit, 
 forfeiture, sovereign, sovereignly, surfeit. 
 
 EO. 
 
 40. This diphthong is pronounced like long o 
 in yeoman, and like long e in people ; like short e 
 in jeopard, jeopardy , leopard, feoffee, f coffer, feoff- 
 ment ; like broad o (as in nor) in georgic ; like 
 long u in feod,feodal,feodary, (which are written 
 also feud, feudal, a.aifeudary ;) and, when unac- 
 cented, it has the indistinct sound of u, o, or i, 
 as in bludgeon, curmudgeon, dudgeon, dungeon, 
 gudgeon, habergeon, luncheon, puncheon, trun- 
 cheon, surgeon, sturgeon, scutcheon, escutclieon, 
 pigeon, vndgeon. 
 
 EU. 
 
 41. This diphthong is always sounded like 
 long u, as in feud, deuce. 
 
 EW. 
 
 42. This diphthong is almost always sounded 
 like long u, or eu, as in few, hew, new ; but if r 
 precedes it, it takes the sound of oo, or of ii in 
 rule, as in brew, crew, drew. In the words shew 
 and strew, (written also show and strow,) this 
 diphthong has the sound of long o, as it also 
 has in the verb to sew, and commonly also in the 
 word sewer, a drain. — See Sewer. 
 
 EY. 
 
 43. This diphthong has the sound of long 
 
SOUNDS OF THE DIPHTHONGS. 
 
 a, as in hey, dey, grey, hey, prey, ihey, whey, 
 convey, obey, purvey, survey, eyre, eyry. In key 
 and ley, it has the sound of long e ; and, when 
 unaccented, it has the slight sound of e, as in 
 galley, valley, &c. 
 
 lA. 
 
 44. This diphthong, in the terminations ial, 
 ian, and iard, is often united in one syllable, 
 the i being sounded like y ; as. Christian, JUial, 
 poniard, pronounced as if written Christ'yan, 
 JU'yal, poWyard. In some words it has the ob- 
 scure sound of indistinct short i, as in carriage, 
 marriage, parliament. 
 
 IE. 
 
 45. The regular sound of this diphthong is 
 that of long e, as in chief, fief, fiend, grenadier, 
 grief, grieve, lief, liege, thief, &c. It has the 
 sound of long i in die, hie, lie, pie, vie, &c. ; 
 and the sound of short e in friend. 
 
 OA. 
 
 46. The regular sound of this diphthong is 
 that of long o, as in hoot, coat, coal, foal, loaf, 
 moat, &c. ; but in broad, abroad, and groat, it has 
 the sound of broad a. 
 
 (E. 
 
 47. This diphthong is derived from the Greek 
 and Latin, and it is retained in but very few 
 words used in English. It is found in assqfcet- 
 ida, where it is pronounced like short e, and in 
 (edema, (esophagus, antceci, also often in foetus, 
 (often written fetus,) in which it has the sound 
 of long e. 
 
 (EU. 
 
 48. This triphthong is found only in the word 
 manceuvre, and it has the sound of oo in moon, 
 or of It in rule. 
 
 OI and OY. 
 
 49. The sound of these diphthongs is the 
 same ; and it is noted in this Dictionary, as it 
 is in that of Walker and in other Dictionaries, 
 by the sound of broad o, (as in nor,) and short i. 
 Although this is the manner in which Walker 
 marks these letters in his Dictionary, yet in his 
 "Principles," he says, "The general, and almost 
 universal, sound of this diphthong is that of a 
 in water (the same as o in nor) and the first e in 
 metre." Perhaps a better mode of representing 
 the sound of this diphthong would be to mark 
 the t and the y with a dot under them, to de- 
 
 note the obscure sound, or by the use of an e 
 witli the same mark ; as, boil or boel, boy or boe. 
 Some orthoepists mark both letters short. There 
 is no disagreement with respect to the sound 
 itself, but merely with regard to the mode of 
 representing it. 
 
 00. 
 
 50. The regular sound of this diphthong is 
 heard in mx)on, food, stoop ; and it is the same 
 as that of single o in moue, prove. 
 
 51. This diphthong has a shorter sound (the 
 same as the sound of u in buU, or of single o in 
 wolf) in the following words: book, brook, cook, 
 crook, foot, good, hood, hook, look, shook, stood, 
 understood, vnthstood, wood, and wool ; and also, 
 according to some orthoepists, in rook and soot. 
 Walker says, tliat "foot, good, hood, stood, un- 
 derstood, withstood, wood, and wool, are the only 
 words where this diphthong has this middle 
 sound." But the rest of the words above enu- 
 merated are pronounced with the same sound 
 of this diphthong by other orthoepists, as weU 
 as by common usage. Smart says, that the pro- 
 nunciation assigned by Walker to hook {bok) 
 "is a decided provincialism." 
 
 52. This diphthong has the sound of long o 
 
 in door and fiatyr ; and of short u in blood and 
 
 flood. 
 
 OU. 
 
 53. This is the most irregular diphthong in the 
 language. Its most common or regular sound 
 is that in which both letters are sounded, as in 
 bound, sound, cloud, lovd, our, shout, south, &c. 
 
 54. This diphthong has the sound of short u in 
 country, cousin, couple, accouple, double, trouble, 
 southern, courage, encourage, flourish, nourish, 
 nourishment, enough, chough, rough, tough, touch, 
 touchy, young, youngster, &c. It has the sound 
 of o in move, or oo in moon, in accoutre, ag- 
 group, group, croup, bouge, amour, paramour, 
 bouse, bousy, capouch, cartouch, rouge, soup, sur- 
 tout, tour, contour, detour, tourney, tournament, 
 through, uncouth, you, your, youth, and also in 
 various other words derived from the French. 
 It has the sound of long o in court, accourt, cour- 
 tier, course, concourse, recourse, discourse, source, 
 resource, four, fourth, pour, though, although, 
 dough, mould, moult, mourn, shoulder, smoulder, 
 poult, poultice, poultry, soul. It has the sound 
 of broad a, as in ball, or of o, as in nor, in 
 bought, brought, fought, ought, nought, sought, 
 besought, thought, wrought. It has the sound of 
 u in huR, or of oo in good, in could, should, 
 would. It has the sound of shqrt o, or, accord::

 ing to some orfhioepists, of broad a, in covgh and 
 trough, rhyming with off and scoff. 
 
 OW. 
 
 55. The Tegular sound of this diphthong, the 
 same as the regular sound of ow, is heard in 
 hmv, now, down, town, tower, &c. It has the 
 sound of long o in helow, bestow. Mow, crow, 
 flow, fiown, grow, grown, growth, glow, know, 
 known, owe, own, owner, shmc, snow, soum, 
 straw, throw, thrown; also in the following 
 ■words, in some of their senses : bow, low, lower, 
 mow, shower, sow. 
 
 56. When this diphthong forms a final or un- 
 accented syllable, it has the slight sound of long 
 o, as in borrow, follow, follower. 
 
 UA. 
 
 57. When both the letters of this diphthong 
 are sounded, they have the power of wa, as in 
 equal, language, persuade. In some words the 
 M is silent, as in guard, guardian, guarantee, 
 piquant; and in victiuds and vidutdling, both 
 the letters are silent 
 
 UE. 
 
 58. When these letters are united in a diph- 
 thong, and are both sounded, they have the 
 power of we, as in consuetude, desuetude, man- 
 sudude, conquest. In some words the u is 
 silent, as in guerdon, guess, guest. When this 
 diphthong is final, the e is in many words silent, 
 as in due, hue, pursue, value, &c. ; and in some 
 words both letters are silent, as in league, far 
 tigue, harangue, tongue, antique, oblique, deca- 
 logue, demagogue, dialogue, &c. 
 
 UI. 
 
 59. These letters, when united in a diphthong, 
 and both sounded, have the power of wi, as in 
 attguish, languid, vanquish. In some words the 
 M is silent, as in guide, guile, build, guinea ; and 
 in others the i is silent, as in juice, pursuit, 
 fruii, &c. 
 
 SOUNDS OP THE CONSONANTS. 
 
 60. The consonants are divided into mutes 
 and semi-bowels. The mutes cannot be sounded 
 at all without the aid of a vowel. They are h, 
 d, k, p, t, and c and g hard. 
 
 61. The Semi-vowels have an imperfect sound 
 of themselves. They are f, I, m,n,r, s, v, x, z, 
 erxdcmiig soft 
 
 62. The four semi-vowels, I, m, n, and r, are 
 also called liquids, because they readily unite 
 with other consonants, flowing, as it were, into 
 their sounds. 
 
 63. The following consonants are styled den- 
 tals, namely, d, j, s, t, z, and g soft, being pro- 
 nounced chiefly by the aid of the teeth ; d, g, j, 
 k, I, n, and q, are called palatals, from the use 
 made of the palate in pronouncing them ; 6, p, 
 f, V, and m, are called labials, being pronounced 
 chiefly by the lips ; m, n, and the digraph ng, 
 are called nasals, being sounded through the 
 nose ; and k, q, c and g hard, are called gut- 
 turals, being sounded by the throat 
 
 B. 
 
 64. B, preceded by m in the same syllable, 
 is generally silent ; as, lanib, limb, comb, dumb, 
 &c. ; but succumb is an exception. It is silent 
 also before t in the same syllable, as in debt, 
 doubt, redoubt, &c. 
 
 C. 
 
 65. This letter is hard, and sounds like k, be- 
 fore a, 0, and u ; and it is soft, and sounds like s, 
 before e, i, and y ; except in sceptic and sdrrhus 
 and their derivatives, in which it is hard, like k. 
 
 66. When c comes after the accent, and is fol- 
 lowed by ea, ia, io, or eous, it takes, like s and t, 
 the sound of sh ; as, ocean, social, tenacious, ce- 
 taceous. In the words discern, sacrifice, suffice, 
 and sice, and several words derived from discern, 
 sacrifice, and suffice, c lias the sound Of z. 
 
 CH. 
 
 67. The regular English sound of this di- 
 graph is the same as that of tch, or tsh, as in 
 chair, child, rich, church. When ch follows I 
 or n, as in belch, bench, JUeh, Walker, Jameson, 
 and Fulton, designate the sound by sh, as beUh, 
 bensh, fish; but other orthoepists, Sheridan, 
 Perry, Jones, Knowles, and Smart, give to ch, 
 thus situated, the same sound as in rich. 
 
 68. In words derived from the ancient lan- 
 guages, ch is generally hard, like k, as in ache, 
 alchemy, anarch, anarchy, anchor, anchorei, ca- 
 chexy, catechism, chalcography, chalybeate, chame- 
 leon, chanwrnUe, chaos, character, chasm, ehely, 
 chemistry, chimera, chirography, chiromancy, 
 ehaler, chorus, chord, chorography, chyle, chyme, 
 cocMeary, conch, distich, echo, echinus, epoch, 
 eunuch, hemistich, hierarcli, hierarcJof, machinal, 
 machination, mechanic, mechanism, monarch, mo- 
 narchical, orchestra, orcheslre, peniaieuch, schema, 
 sehesis, scholar, school, Dornoch, stomachic, &c. 
 
SOUNDS OF THE CONSONANTS. 
 
 The exceptions are charity, chart, and charter. 
 Ch is hard in all words in which it is followed 
 by Z or r j as, chlorosis, Christian. 
 
 69. When arch, signifying chief, begins a 
 word from the Greek language, and is followed 
 by a vowel, it is pronounced ark, as in arch- 
 angd, architect, archive, archipelago, archetype, 
 archiynscopal, archidiaconal, architrave, archaism, 
 archeeology; but when ai-ch is prefixed to an Eng- 
 lish word, it is pronounced so as to rhyme with 
 march; as, archbishop, archduke, archrjiend. In 
 drachm, sdiism, and yacht, ch is silent 
 
 D. 
 
 70. The termination ed, assumed by the pre- 
 terit and participle, in some words takes the 
 sound of d added to the preceding syllable ; as, 
 healed, sealed, pronounced heald, seald; and in 
 some it takes the sound of t, added in the same 
 manner ; as, distressed, mixed, pronounced distrest, 
 mixt. Some words, which, when used as parti- 
 ciples, are pronounced in one syllable, are, when 
 used as adjectives, pronounced in two ; as, 
 learned, blessed, winged. 
 
 F. 
 
 71. This letter has a uniform sound, except 
 in the preposition q^,' in which it has the sound 
 of V. 
 
 G. 
 
 72. G, like c, has two sounds, one hard and 
 the other soft. It is hard before a, o, and u. 
 The only exception is gaol, which is commonly 
 written, as well as pronounced, jaU. 
 
 73. G, before e, i, and y, is sometimes hsird and 
 sometimes soft. It is generally soft before words 
 derived from the Greek, Latin, and French, and 
 hard before words from the Saxon ; and these last, 
 being much the smaller number of the words of 
 this sort, may be regarded as exceptions. 
 
 74. It is hard before e in gear, geek, geese, 
 geld, gdt, gelding, get, gewgaiv, shagged, 
 snagged, (ragged, ragged, scragged, dogged, 
 rugged, dagger, stagger, swagger, trigger, dog- 
 ger, pettifogger, tiger, anger, eager, auger, finger, 
 linger, conger, longer, stronger, yownger, longest, 
 strongest, youngest ; before i, in gibber, gibber- 
 ish, gibbous, gibcat, giddy, gift, gig, giggle, gig- 
 gler, gild, gill, gimlet, gimp, gird, girdle, girl, 
 girt, girth, gizzard, begin, give, forgive, biggin, 
 piggin, noggin, druggist, waggish, hoggish, 
 sluggish, rigging, digging, &c. ; before y, in 
 boggy, buggy, doggy, craggy, foggy, dreggy, 
 jo«gy, J^naggy, muggy, quaggy, scraggy, shag- 
 gy, snaggy, swaggy, twiggy. 
 
 (3) 
 
 75. The g in Zowger, (the comparative of long,) 
 stronger, younger, longest, strongest, and young- 
 est, must articulate the e ; and these words are 
 pronounced as if written with gg. Thus longer, 
 the comparative of long, is pronounced hng'ger; 
 and longer, one who longs, long'er. 
 
 GH. 
 
 76. In this digraph, at the beginning of a 
 word, the h is silent, as in ghost, ghastly, giver- 
 kin ; at the end of words, both letters are com- 
 monly silent, as in high, nigh, sigh, thigh, neigh, 
 weigh, inveigh, sleigh, bough, dough, (hough, 
 although, plough, furlough, through, thorough, 
 borough. In some words this digraph has the 
 sound of f, as in enough, rough, tough, trough, 
 cough, chough, laugh, laughter; in some, the 
 sound of k, as in hough, shough, lough. In 
 dough and slough, it is sometimes silent, and 
 Bometmies has the sound o{ f. 
 
 GHT. 
 
 77. In this termination the letters gh are 
 always sUent ; as, fight, right, height, &c. ; ex- 
 cept in draught, which is pronounced, and in 
 some of its senses usually written, drctft. 
 
 H. 
 
 78. This letter is a note of aspiration, and it 
 is silent at the beginning of a number of words ; 
 as, heir, heiress, honor, honesty, honorable, herb, 
 herbage, hosUer, hour, &c. In hospited, hum- 
 ble, humor, humorous, and humorsome, according 
 to some orthoepists it is silent, and according 
 to others it is sounded. It is always silent after 
 r, as in rheum, rhetoric, rhapsody, &c. 
 
 K. 
 
 79. This letter has the same sound as c 
 hard, and is always silent before n, as in knee, 
 kneel, know, &c. 
 
 80. L is silent in many words ; as in calf, half, 
 chalk, talk, balm, calm, would, could, should, &c. 
 
 M. 
 
 81. M always preserves its sound, except in 
 accompt, accomptant, and comptroller ; more com- 
 monly written account, accountant, and con- 
 troller. 
 
 N. 
 
 82. JV has two sounds, one simple and pure, 
 as in man, not; the other compound and mixed, 
 as in hang, thank, banquet, anxious; the three 
 
 (B») 
 
PKlNCIFIiES OF PRONUNCIATION. 
 
 last being pronounced as if written thangk, 
 bang'quet, angMshus. 
 
 83. JV is mute when it ends a syllable and 
 is preceded by i or m, as in kiln, hymn, limn, 
 column, autumn, solemn, condemn, contemn, &c. 
 
 84. P is silent before s and t at the begin- 
 ning of words, as in psalm, psalter, ptisan. 
 
 PH. 
 
 85. This digraph generally has the sound of 
 J] as in physic, philosophy, &c. In nephew and 
 Stephen, it has the sound otv ; and in diphthong, 
 triphthong, naphtha, &c., the h is silent. 
 
 Q. 
 
 86. Q is always followed by u, and the di- 
 graph qu has commonly the sound of kiv, as in 
 queen, quill, quart; but, in many words derived 
 from the French, it has the sound of A, as in 
 coqitet, etiquette, masquerade, Slc. 
 
 R. 
 
 87. The letter r haa a jarring or trilling 
 effect on the tongue, and it is never silent. It 
 has a peculiar influence on both the long and 
 the short sound of the vowels. It has the effect, 
 under certain circumstances, to change tlie short 
 sound of a, as in man, into its Italian sound, as in 
 far, and the short sound of o, as in not, into its 
 broad somid, like broad a, as in nor ; and it has 
 a corresponding effect on the short sound of the 
 other vowels. — (See pages x and xi.) — When 
 r is preceded by a long vowel, it has sometimes 
 the effect of confounding the syllables. Thus 
 the monosyllables hire, more, roar, sore, and 
 Jlour, are pronounced precisely like the dissyl- 
 lables higher, mmiier, rower, sower, and Jlower. 
 
 88. There is a difference of opinion among 
 orthoepists respecting tlie letter r. Johnson 
 says, that " it has one constant sound in Eng- 
 lish;" and the same view of it is maintained 
 by Kenrick, Sheridan, Perry, Jones, Jameson, 
 and Knowles. Walker, on the contrary, says, 
 "There is a distinction in the sound of this 
 letter scarcely ever noticed by any of our 
 writers on the subject, which is, in my opinion, 
 of no small importance ; and that is, the rough 
 and the smooth r." The following is the view 
 given by Smart: "iJ is a decided consonant 
 when it begins a syllable with or without 
 another consonant, as in ray, pray; and also 
 when it ends a syllable, if it should be so cir- 
 cumstanced that, ending one, it also begins the 
 
 next, as m arid, tarry, peril, berry, spirit, florid, 
 hurry. Here the r has the same effect on the 
 previous vowel that any other consonant would 
 have ; that is to say, it stops, or renders the 
 vowel essentially short. But, under other cir- 
 cumstances, final r is not a decided consonant ; 
 and therefore the syllables ar, er, ir, or, ur, are 
 not coincident, as to the vowel sound in each, 
 with at, et, it, ot, ut; neither do the vowel 
 sounds in fare, mere, ire, ore, ure, poor, our, 
 quite identify with those in fate, mete, ide, ode, 
 cube, pool, owl." 
 
 S. 
 
 89. The regular or genuine sound of s is its 
 sharp, sibilant, or hissing sound, like c soft, as in 
 son, this. It has also a flat or soft sound, (called 
 by some its vocal sound,) the same as that of the 
 letter z, as in urise, his. 
 
 90. S has always its sharp, hissing sound at 
 the beginning of words, as son, safe ; also at the 
 end of words when they terminate in as, except 
 the words as, has, was, whereas, and the plural 
 of nouns ending ea, as seas, pleas ; in all words 
 ending in ss, as less, express ; in all words end- 
 ing in is, except the monosyllables is and his ; 
 in all words ending in us and ovs, as genius, 
 famous; in all words when preceded, in the 
 same syllable, by either of the mutes k, p, i, or 
 by/, as locks, hats, caps, muffs. 
 
 91. S final has the sound of z when it imme- 
 diately follows any consonant, except the mutes 
 k, p, t, the semi-vowel /, and Ih aspirated, as in 
 ribs, heads, liens ; also when it forms an additional 
 syllable with e before it, in the plural of nouns 
 and the third person singular of verbs, as in 
 churches, boxes, prices ; likewise in some verbs 
 ending in se, to distinguish them from nouns 
 and adjectives of the same form, as abuse, use, 
 dose, diffuse, as distinguished from the nouns 
 and adjectives abuse, use, close, diffuse. But it 
 is impossible to give rules which will enable 
 one to see, in all cases, how s is to be pro- 
 nounced, whether with its sharp, hissing sound, 
 or its flat or soft sound, like z. 
 
 92. S aspirated, or sounding like sh or zh. 
 
 S takes the sound of sh in words ending in sion 
 preceded by a consonant, as in diversion, expul- 
 sion, dimension, passion, mission, &c. ; also in 
 the following words: censure, tensure, tonsure, 
 sensual, fissure, sdssure, pressure, compressure, 
 impressure, sure, assure, insure, nauseate, nau- 
 seous, exosseous, su^ar, sumach. 
 
 93. S has the sound of zh in the termination 
 sion, preceded by a vowel, as in evasion, cohe- 
 
SOUNDS OF THE CONSONANTS. — ACCENT. 
 
 sion, decision, explosion, contvMon, &c. ; also in 
 a number of words in which s is preceded by 
 an accented vowel, and followed by the termi- 
 nation «re, as in measure, pleasure, displeasure, 
 treasure, rasure, closure, disclosure, enclosure, ex- 
 posure, composure, incisure, leisure ; also in sev- 
 eral words ending in sier; as, crosier, cosier, 
 osier, hosier, rosier, brasier, grasier ; also in am- 
 brosia, ambrosial, elysium, dysian. 
 
 94. T, like g and c, is aspirated when it 
 comes immediately after the accent, and is 
 followed by the vowels ia, ie, or io, taking the 
 sound, in these cases, of sA, ^am partial, patient, 
 nation, partition, &c. 
 
 TH. 
 
 95. This digraph has two sounds ; one, hard, 
 sharp, or aspirate, as in thin, think, earth, breath, 
 &c. ; the other, flat, soft, or vocal, as in this, the, 
 then, breathe, &c. 
 
 96. At the beginning of words, this digraph 
 is generally sharp, as in thin, thorn. The ex- 
 ceptions are the following words, with their 
 compounds ; the, this, that, thou, thee, thy, thine, 
 their, theirs, them, these, those, there, therefore, 
 then, thence, thither, though, thus. At the end 
 of words it is generally sharp, as in deaih, 
 breath, &c. ; but at the end of some verbs it is 
 flat, as to smooth, to mouth ; also in the follow- 
 ing, which are written with a final e .• to bathe, 
 to bequeathe, to breathe, to dothe, to loathe, to 
 sheathe, to soothe, to swathe, to lereathe. 
 
 97. In some nouns, it is sharp in the singular, 
 
 as in bath, path; and flat in the plural, as baths, 
 
 paths. In some words the h is silent, as in 
 
 Thomas, thyme. 
 
 W. 
 
 98. W, at the beginning of words, is a con- 
 sonant It is always silent before r; as, write, 
 
 luren, wrist, &c. 
 
 WH. 
 
 99. This digraph is sounded as it would natu- 
 rally be if the order of the letters were reversed, 
 thus, hw ; as, when, while, whip, pronounced 
 hwen, hvrile, hurip. In some words the w is 
 sUent; as, who, whole, &c. 
 
 X. 
 
 100. The regular sound of x is its sharp 
 sound, like ks ; as, excellence, execute, expect, tax. 
 
 101. It has a flat or soft" sound, like gz, when 
 the next syllable following begins with an ac- 
 cented vowel, as in exait, example, exert, execu- 
 
 tor; also in some words derived from primitives 
 which have the sound of gz in them ; as, exalta- 
 tion, exemplary. 
 
 102. At the beginning of words, it has the 
 sound of z, as in Xenophon, xylography. 
 
 103. X is aspirated, and takes the sound of 
 ksh, in some words, when the accent immediately 
 precedes it ; as, fluxion, complexion, anxious, 
 luxury. 
 
 Z. 
 
 104. This letter has the same sound as flat 
 or soft s. It is aspirated, taking the sound of 
 zh, in a few words ; as, brazier, glazier, grazier, 
 vizier, azure, razure, seizure. 
 
 ACCENT. 
 
 105. All the words in the English language of 
 more than one syllable, have one accented sylla- 
 ble ; and most polysyllabic words have not only 
 a syllable with the primary accent, but also one 
 with a secondary accent. 
 
 106. It is the general tendency of the lan- 
 guage to place the accent on the first syllable 
 of dibsyllables, and on the antepenultimate of 
 polysyllables. The exceptions, however, are so 
 numerous, that this is not to be regarded as a 
 rule, but only as a general tendency of the lan- 
 guage. With respect to verbs of two syllables, 
 the tendency is to place the accent on the 
 second syllable. 
 
 107. A large part of the words of the English 
 language, especially of the polysyllables, are de- 
 rived from the Latin and Greek languages ; and, 
 with respect to the accent of such words, these 
 languages have great influence ; though, in re- 
 lation to many of them, the analogy of the Eng- 
 lish prevails over that of the original language. 
 
 108. Words which are adopted from the Latin 
 language into the English without any change 
 of ortliography, generally retain the Latin ac- 
 cent, especially if they are terms of the arts 
 and sciences, or words somewhat removed from 
 common usage. The following words have tlie 
 accent on the penultimate syllable, both in Latin 
 and English: abdomen, acumen, asylum, bitu- 
 men, curator, decorum, delator, dictator, horizon, 
 spedator, testator. 
 
 109. Some words which have the accent on 
 the penult in Latin, are conformed to the Eng- 
 lish analogy, and have the accent on the ante- 
 penult; as, auditor, character, cicatrix, orator, 
 minister, plethora, senator, sinister. 
 
 110. Monosyllables are generally marked, in 
 
PRINCIPLES OF PRONUNCIATION. 
 
 pronouncing dictionaries, with the distinct 
 sounds of the vowels, as they are pronounced 
 when uttered distinctly; but, in reading and 
 speaking, a great part of them, especially the 
 particles, as a, an, the, and, at, of, in, on, &c., 
 are generally uttered so as to give only an indis- 
 tinct or obscure sound to the vowels. 
 
 ] 11. Simple words of two syllables have only 
 one syllable accented, except the word amen, 
 which, Walker says, "is the only word in the 
 language which has necessarily two consecu- 
 tive accents.'' There are, however, many com- 
 pound words of two syllables which have both 
 syllables more or less accented; as, backslide, 
 doumfall, highway, ligldhouse, sometimes, way- 
 lay, loindmUl, &-c. 
 
 112. Many words of three and four syllables 
 have only one accented syllable; as, sensible, 
 penalty, reliance, occurrence, republic, admirable, 
 agreeable, celebrity, congenial, chcdybeate, &c. But 
 some have a secondary accent almost as strong 
 as the primary; as, advertise, artisan, partisan, 
 complaisant, caravan, countermand, reprimand, 
 contraband, commodore, reprehend, navigator, 
 regulator, detrimental, judicalwe, caricature, ani- 
 madvert, &c. 
 
 113. Almost all words of more than four syl- 
 lables have both a primary and a secondary 
 accent; and some words of seven or eight syl- 
 lables have one primary and two secondary ac- 
 cents ; as, indivisibility, incomprehensibility. 
 
 114. The following list of dissyllables, when 
 used as nouns or adjectives, have the accent on 
 the first syllable ; and when used as verbs, on 
 the second: —

 115. Of the words in the above table, cement, 
 complot, essay, increase, perfume, permit, survey, 
 and undress, when used as nouns, are often 
 pronounced with the accent on the second syl- 
 lable. — See these words in the Dictionary. — 
 See also the words Contents, Detail, and Re- 
 tail, which are more or less conformed to this 
 analogy, with respect to the accent. 
 
 116. The following trisyllables, when nouns, 
 are accented on the first syllable ; and when 
 verbs, on the third: — 
 
 Coun'tercharge 
 
 Coun'tercharm 
 
 Coun'tercheck

 117. A similar analogy has influence in 
 changing the accent of many other words, 
 which are used as verbs, and also as nouns or 
 adjectives. Thus, counterbalance and overbal- 
 ance, when nouns, have the accent on the first 
 syllable, and when verbs, on the third; and 
 attribute, as a noun, is accented on the first syl- 
 lable, and as a verb, on the second. A class of 
 words with the termination ate, have the dis- 
 tinct sound of long a, when used as verbs, and 
 
ACCENT 
 
 XXI 
 
 the indistinct or obscure sound of a, when used 
 as nouns or adjectives ; of this class are deliber- 
 ate, intimate, mediate, moderate, &c. The word 
 interest, when used as a verb, is pronounced with 
 a more distinct sound of short e, in the last syl- 
 lable, than when used as a noun. The verb to 
 prophesy has the full sound of long y ; and the 
 noun prophecy, the obscure sound of ^ or e. So 
 the whole class of verbs ending in fy are pro- 
 nounced with the distinct sound of long y. 
 
 118. There is a difference in the pronuncia- 
 tion of the following words, when used as nouns 
 or adjectives, and when used as verbs. This 
 difference is somewhat analogous to the change 
 of accent in the preceding lists of words.

 119. All words ending in sion and tion have 
 the accent on the penultimate syllable ; as, dis- 
 sen'sion, declara'tion, mediiaftion, &c. 
 
 120. Words ending in ia, iac, ial, ian, eons, 
 and ious, have the accent on the preceding syl- 
 lable ; as, rega'lia, demjo'niac, impe'rial, merid'ian, 
 sponta'neovs, melo'dious. If c, g, s, t, or x, pre- 
 cedes the vowels e or i, in these terminations, 
 these vowels are generally blended with the 
 vowel or vowels which follow, being pronounced 
 in one syllable ; as, benefi'mal, magi'dan, fari- 
 na'ceous, loqua'cious, dissen'sious, cowa'geovs, 
 conta'gious, conten'tuyus. The only exception 
 to this rule, in relation to placing the accent, is 
 the word elegiac, which is commonly pronounced 
 elegi'ac, though some pronounce it, in accordance 
 with the rule, ele'giac. — See Elegiac. 
 
 121. Words ending in acal and ical have tlie 
 accent on the antepenultimate syllable ; as, hdi'- 
 acal, cdphd>et'ical,farMt'ical, geograph'ical, poet'i- 
 ad, &c. In words of this termination, the vowels 
 in the accented syllables, if followed by a con- 
 sonant, are short, except u, which is long; as, 
 cu'bical, mu'siced, scorhu'tical. 
 
 122. Words ending in ic have the accent on 
 the penultimate syllable ; as, algebra'ic, metallic, 
 epidem'ic, scientific, harmon'ic, parcdyt'ic. If a 
 consonant immediately precedes the i, the 
 vowels in the accented syllable are short, ex- 
 cept the vowel u, which is long if it is followed 
 by a single consonant; as, cheru'bic, scorbu'tic, 
 svlphu'rie, teliu'rie, &c. ; but if « is followed by 
 
 two consonants, it is sometimes short ; as, fus'tic, 
 rus'tic ; and sometimes long ; as, ru'bric, lu'bric. 
 The following words, which are exceptions to 
 tins rule, have the accent on the antepenulti- 
 mate syllable : ar'senic, (as a noun,) arith'metic, 
 bish'oprie, cath/olic, ckol'eric, ephem'eric, her'etic, 
 lu'natic, pol'itic, rhM'oric, and tur'mtrie. The 
 following words, according to some orthoepists, 
 are conformed to the rule, and according to 
 others, they are exceptions to it : dimaderic, em- 
 piric, phlegmatic, splenetic. — See these words 
 in the Dictionary. 
 
 123. Words of three or more syllables, end- 
 ing in eal, have their accent on the antepenulti- 
 mate syllable ; as, bo'real, corpo'real, incorpo'real, 
 cu'neal, empyr'eal, ethe'real, fune'real, homoge'- 
 neal, heteroge'neal, lac'teal, lin'eal, or' deal, subter- 
 ra'neal; except hymens! al, which has the penul- 
 timate accent 
 
 124. Of words ending in can, the following, 
 being conformed to the English analogy, have 
 the accent on the antepenultimate syllable : ce- 
 ru'lean, hyperbo'rean, hereu'lean, mediterra'nean, 
 subterra'nean, tarta'rean; but the following are 
 pronounced by the principal orthoepists, in ac- 
 cordance with the best usage, with the accent 
 on the penultimate : adamante'an, Atlante'an, 
 colosse'an, empyre'an, epicure'an, Europe'an, hy- 
 mene'an, pygme'an. With regard to European, 
 Walker remarks as follows : " This word, ac- 
 cording to the analogy of our own language, 
 ought certainly to have the accent on the second 
 syllable ; and this is the pronunciation which 
 unlettered speaiers constantly adopt; but the 
 learned, ashamed of the analogies of their own 
 tongue, always place the accent on the third 
 syllable, because Europaus has the penulti- 
 mate long, and is therefore accented in Latin. 
 Epicurean has the accent on the same syllable, 
 by the same rule ; whUe herculean and cerulean 
 submit to English analogy, and have their ac- 
 cent on the second syllable, because their pe- 
 nultimate in Latin is short." 
 
 125. Words ending in tude, ejy, ijy, and Uy, 
 have their accent on the antepenultimate ; as, 
 foT'tUude, rar'efy, diver'sify, liberality, impu'rUy, 
 vari'ety, insensibil'ity. 
 
 126. Words of three or more syllables end- 
 ing in uhus, inous, erous, and orous, have the 
 accent on the antepenultimate ; as, sed'ulous, 
 volu'minous, vociferous, camiv' orous ; except 
 cano'rous and sono'rous, which have the accent 
 on the penultimate. 
 
 127. Words of three or more syllables ending 
 in ative have the accent on the antepenultimate, 
 
PRINCIPLES OF PRONUNCIATION. 
 
 or on the preceding syllable ; as, rel'ative, appeV- 
 lative, commu'nicative, spedulative. The only ex- 
 ception is crea'tive. 
 
 128. Words ending in tive, preceded by a con- 
 sonant, have the accent on the penultimate ; as, 
 attractive, invedtive, presump'tiw ; except ad'jec- 
 tive and sub'stantive. 
 
 ORTHOEPY AND ORTHOEPISTS. 
 
 129. The pronunciation of the English lan- 
 guage, like that of all living languages, is in a 
 great measure Eirbitrary. It is exposed to the 
 caprices of fashion and taste. It is liable to 
 change from one age to another ; and it varies, 
 more or less, not only in the different and dis- 
 tantly separated countries in which it is spoken, 
 but also in the different divisions and districts 
 of the same country. No two speakers or or- 
 thoepists, though inhabitants of the same place, 
 would be likely to agree in the pronunciation of 
 all its words. The standard of pronunciation is 
 not the authority of any dictionary, or of any or- 
 thoepist ; but it is the present usage of literary 
 and well-bred society. 
 
 130. The question may be asked, Where is 
 this standard to be sought, — this usage to be 
 ascertained ? To this it may be answered, that 
 London is tlie great metropolis of English litera- 
 ture ; and that it has an incomparably greater 
 influence than any other city in giving law, in 
 relation to style and pronunciation, to the many 
 millions who write and speak the language. 
 The English orthocpists naturally refer to the 
 usage of the best society in London as their 
 principal standard ; but the usage of good so- 
 ciety in that city is not uniform, and no two 
 orthoepists would perfectly agree with each 
 other in attempting to exhibit it 
 
 331. It may be further asked. How far is it 
 proper for the people of the United States to be 
 guided, in their pronunciation, by the usage of 
 London ? To this it may be answered, that it is 
 advisable for American writers and speakers to 
 conform substantially to the best models, wher- 
 ever they may be found ; and so long as London 
 holds its rank as the great metropolis of the lit- 
 erature of the English language, so long it must 
 have a predominating influence with respect to 
 writing and speaking it. If the influence of the 
 usage of London were discarded, where should 
 we seek for a usage that would be generally 
 acknowledged as entitled to higher authority? 
 
 There is no one city in the United States which 
 holds a corresponding rank, as a centre of in- 
 telligence and fashion, — no one which is the 
 central and undisputed metropolis of Anglo- 
 American literature, as London is of English 
 literature. The pronunciation in the United 
 States is, indeed, now substantially conformed 
 to the usage of London. The works of the 
 English orthoepists, who have regarded the 
 usage of London as their standard, have been 
 as generally circulated and used in this country, 
 as they have been in England ; and there is, un- 
 doubtedly, a more general conforihity to London 
 usage in pronunciation throughout the United 
 States, than there is throughout Great Britain. 
 
 132. Although it is not to be questioned, that, 
 with respect to the many millions who speak the 
 English language, the usage of London is en- 
 titled to far more weight than that of any other 
 city, yet this is not the only thing to be ob- 
 served. The usage of the best society in the 
 place or district in wliich one resides, is not to 
 be disregarded. If our pronunciation is agreea- 
 ble to the analogy of the language, and con- 
 formed to the practice of the best society with 
 which we have intercourse, we may have no 
 suSicient reason to change it, though it should 
 deviate, more or less, from the existing usage 
 of London. A proper pronunciation is, indeed, 
 a desirable accomplishment, and is indicative 
 of a correct taste and a good education ; still it 
 ought to be remembered, that, in speech as in 
 manners, he who is tlie most precise is often the 
 least pleasing, and that rusticity is more excu- 
 sable than affectation. 
 
 133. " For pronunciation," says Dr. Johnson, 
 " the best general rule is to consider those as 
 the most elegant speakers who deviate least 
 from the written words." There are many 
 words of which the pronunciation in England 
 is, at present, better conformed to the spelling 
 than it was formerly ; and the principle of con- 
 formity between the manner of writing and 
 speaking the language, has been carried some- 
 what farther in the United States than in Eng- 
 land. This is a principle which seems worthy 
 of being encouraged, rather than checked. 
 
 134. Much ingenuity and labor have been 
 employed by various orthoepists, in their efforts 
 to settle the pronunciation of the language ; and 
 different systems of notation for designating the 
 sounds of the letters have been adopted. But 
 it has been found difiicult to form such a system 
 as will correctly represent all the various sounds 
 of the letters, and not be liable to mislead ; and, 
 
ORTHOfiPY AND ORTHOfiPISTS. 
 
 if such a system were formed, it would be a 
 difficult and delicate matter to make a correct 
 application of it to all cases. The language, 
 as it respects pronunciation, has many irregu- 
 larities, which cannot be subjected to any gen- 
 eral rules ; and with regard to the pronunciation 
 of particular words, the instances are numerous 
 in relation to which there is a disagreement 
 among the best orthoepists. 
 
 135. In the preparation of this work, Pro- 
 NTJNCiATioN has been made a special object, 
 and has received particular attention. A promi- 
 nent feature in the plan consists in the exhibi- 
 tion of authorities respecting words of various, 
 doubtful, or disputed pronunciation; and this 
 work is so constructed as to exhibit, with re- 
 spect to all this class of words, for which a pro- 
 nouncing dictionary is chiefly wanted, the modes 
 in which they are pronounced by all the most 
 eminent English orthoepists. The number of 
 primitive words respecting which the authorities 
 are presented, amounts to upwards of two thou- 
 sand ; and, in addition to these, this process also 
 
 determines the pronunciation of a large number 
 of derivatives. As the pronunciation of these 
 words is regulated by usage, and as there is 
 a great diversity, with regard to them, both 
 among good speakers and professed orthoepists, 
 the exhibition of the different authorities seems 
 to be the most satisfactory method of treating 
 them. 
 
 136. The following Table exhibits the man- 
 ner in which the pronunciation of a number 
 of words is represented by Sheridan, Walker, 
 Jones, Jameson, Knowles, and Smart, together 
 with the mode adopted in this work. These 
 several orthoepists have each his own peculiar 
 system of notation ; but as their different meth- 
 ods of marking the letters cannot be here 
 exhibited without much inconvenience, and 
 without causing great confusion to the reader, 
 their respective modes, with regard to the re- 
 spelling of the words, are presented ; and 
 instead of their marks on the vowels, those 
 employed in this work are substituted, indicat- 
 ing, in all cases, the same sounds of the letters.

 137. In relation to all the words here exhib- 
 ited, these orthoepists agree with respect to two 
 of the most important points in the pronuncia- 
 tion of words, namely, the syllable on which 
 the accent is to be placed, and the quantity of 
 the vowel in the accented syllable. Though 
 with regard to the mode of representing the 
 pronunciation of most of the above words, there 
 Is considerable diversity, yet it is doubtless true 
 that the pronunciation intended to be expressed 
 differs, in reality, much less than it would seem 
 to do; and that, in numerous instances, these 
 orthoepists agreed much better in their practice, 
 than in their mode of indicating it. 
 
 138. There is an obvious difference in the 
 quantity and stress of voice with which the last 
 syllables of the words deliberate, iniimate, and 
 
 moderate, are pronounced, when verbs and when 
 adjectives. All the above orthoepists mark the a 
 long in the last syllable of all these words when 
 used as verbs ; Jameson and Sma*t also mark 
 it long in all of them when adjectives ; Walker 
 shortens the a in the adjectives intimate and 
 moderate ; Sheridan and Jones change the a in 
 all these words, when adjectives, into short e, as 
 Knowles also does in the words intimnte and 
 moderate. But there seems to be no advantage 
 in changing the letter in such cases. It is but 
 slightly pronounced, and has not the distinct 
 sound of either short e, or short or long a ; and, 
 with respect to most of the instances in which 
 the vowels in this Dictionary have a dot placed 
 under them, they are so slightly pronounced, that 
 to mark them with a distinct sound, either long 
 
PRINCIPLES OF PRONUNCIATION. 
 
 or short, would tend rather to mislead, than to 
 assist in pronouncing them. If the syllables on 
 which the primary and secondary accents fall, 
 are correctly pronounced, the comparatively in- 
 distinct syllables will naturally be pronounced 
 right 
 
 139. In giving the authorities for pronuncia- 
 tion in this Dictionary, neither the respelling 
 nor the notation of the orthoepists cited has 
 been generally exhibited, as it was necessary to 
 reduce them aU to one system. Their precise 
 difference is not always presented with exact- 
 ness ; yet the cases of failure are not important 
 The different editions of the authors used as 
 authorities differ in various instances ; and it is 
 sometimes impossible to ascertain whether the 
 intention of the writer has not been frustrated 
 by an error of the press. 
 
 140. Two modes of pronouncing a word are, 
 m many instances, given in this work, besides 
 the forms included within the brackets ; and 
 alternatives of this sort would have been pre- 
 sented in other cases, if different modes had 
 not been cited from respectable authorities. 
 The reader will feel perfectly authorized to 
 adopt such a form as he may choose, whether 
 it is exhibited within the brackets or out of 
 them ; and every one will probably, in some 
 cases, prefer a mode found only within the 
 brackets. The compiler has not intended, in 
 any case, to give his own sanction to a form 
 wliich is not supported either by usage, au- 
 thority, or analogy. He has, however, in some 
 instances, in deference to the weight of au- 
 thorities, given the preference to a mode, which, 
 in the exercise of his own judgment, independ- 
 ent of the authorities, he would not have pre- 
 ferred ; for it would be unreasonable for him to 
 make a conformity to his own taste, or to the 
 result of his own limited observation, a law to 
 those who may differ from him, and yet agree 
 with perhaps the more common usage. But, 
 
 though it has not been his design to make inno- 
 vations, or to encourage provincial or American 
 peculiarities, yet he has not always given the 
 preference to the mode of pronunciation which 
 is supported by the greatest weight of the author 
 ities cited ; and, where orthoepists are divided, 
 he has generally been inclined to countenance 
 that mode which is most conformable to analogy 
 or to orthography. 
 
 141. The English authorities most frequently 
 cited in this volume are Sheridan, Walker, 
 Perry, Jones, Enfield, Fulton and Knight, 
 Jameson, Knowles, Smart, and Reid, all of 
 whom are authors of Pronouncing Dictionaries. 
 In addition to these, various other English 
 lexicographers and orthoepists are frequently 
 brought forward, as Bailey, Johnson, Kenrick, 
 Ash, Dyche, Barclay, Entick, Scott, Nares, 
 Rees, Maunder, Crabb, and several others ; be- 
 sides the distinguished American lexicographer. 
 Dr. Webster. 
 
 142. The different English orthoepists, who 
 are made use of as authorities, are entitied to 
 very different degrees of respect There is no 
 one of them who has obtained a higher and more 
 widely-extended reputation than Walker; and 
 no one appears to have bestowed longer and 
 more patient attention in studying the analogies 
 of the language, and in ascertaining the best 
 usage. But there has been considerable change 
 since his time ; and some, who have succeeded 
 him, have corrected some of his mistakes, and 
 made improvements on his system; and they 
 may, in many cases, be considered better guides 
 as to the present usage than Walker. 
 
 143. Of the successors of Walker, Mr. 
 Smart appears to have given the most care- 
 ful and discriminating attention to the subject ; 
 and he may therefore be regarded as the best 
 single authority for present usage. — For fur- 
 ther notices of English orthoepists, see page 
 Ixv. 
 
II.-ORTHOGRAPHY. 
 
 REMARKS ON ORTHOGRAPHY. 
 
 1. The orthography of the English language 
 has been undergoing continual changes from 
 the time of its first formation to the present day ; 
 nor is there any reason to suppose that this habit 
 of change wiU cease, while the language con- 
 tinues to be spoken. If we look into books 
 printed in the reign of Queen Anne, we meet 
 with many words having an oi-thography different 
 ftom that in which they are now found. If we 
 cany our observation back as far as the reign of 
 Queen Elizabeth, we find the difference in or- 
 thography greatly increased ; and when, in our 
 retrospective examination, we reach the age of 
 Chaucer and Wicliffe, we find many words, 
 which, though they are words now actually in 
 use, are so disguised in their orthographical 
 form, and are of so odd and uncouth an appear- 
 ance, that they can hardly be recognized. 
 
 2. The early productions of English literature 
 which are still much read, such as the works of 
 Bacon, Hooker, Shakspeare, and the common 
 version of the Bible, appear now in an orthogra- 
 phy very different from that in which they were 
 at first printed. The first four verses of the 32d 
 chapter of Deuteronomy, in the first edition of 
 the common version of the Bible, printed in 
 1611, stand thus : " Giue eare, O yee heauens, 
 and I wiU speake ; And heare, O earth, the 
 words of my mouth. My doctrine shall drop 
 as the raine : my speach shall distill as the 
 deaw, as the smal raine vpon the tender herbe, 
 and as the showres vpon the grasse. Because 
 I wil publish the Name of the Lord ; ascribe 
 yee greatnesse vnto our God. He is the rocke, 
 his worke is perfect: for all his wayes are 
 ludgement : A God of trueth, and without ini- 
 quity, iust and right is he." In these few lines, 
 which may be taken as a specimen of the whole, 
 there are twenty-seven instances in which the 
 words appear in an orthography different from 
 that in which they are now printed. It is not 
 uncommon to find the same word spelled in 
 more ways than one on the same page, as 
 is generally the case with works even of the 
 
 (4) 
 
 most distinguished writers, printed in the early 
 ages of English literature. 
 
 3. It is incumbent on a lexicographer, in ad- 
 justing the orthography of the language, to have 
 regard to etymology, analogy, and the best 
 usage of his time ; and if we examine the early 
 English dictionaries, we shall find that the or- 
 thography is conformed to the general usage of 
 the age in which they were published. This 
 unsettled state of orthography has long been 
 regarded as a reproach to the language. It is 
 an evil, however, which is unavoidable, and to 
 which all living languages are more or less sub- 
 ject It has arisen from the want of some fixed 
 standard, not varying like usage ; but such a 
 standard it is in vain to seek. Some ingenious 
 men have attempted to introduce a uniformity, 
 and establish an invariable standard ; but these 
 attempts have been attended with little success. 
 
 4. Johnson says, in his Preface, " In adjusting 
 the orthography, which has been to this time 
 unsettled and fortuitous, 1 found it necessary to 
 distinguish those irregularities that are inherent 
 in our tongue, and perhaps coeval with it, firom 
 others which the ignorance or negligence of 
 later writers has produced. Every language 
 has its anomalies, which, though inconvenient, 
 and in themselves once unnecessary, must be 
 tolerated among the imperfections of human 
 things, and which require only to be regis- 
 tered, that they may not be increased, and as- 
 certained, tliat they may not be confounded: 
 but every language has likewise its improprie- 
 ties and absurdities, which it'is the duty of the 
 lexicographer to correct and proscribe." 
 
 5. The Dictionary of Johnson was first pub- 
 lished in 1755; and with reference to it, Mr. 
 Nares, in his " Elements of Orthoepy," published 
 in 1784, remarks, " The English Dictionary ap- 
 peared ; and, as the weight of truth and reason 
 is irresistible, its authority has nearly fixed the 
 external form of our language ; and firom its 
 decisions few appeals have yet been made." It 
 may be readily admitted that no other work ever 
 
 (C) 
 
XXVI 
 
 ORTHOGRAPHY. 
 
 had so great an influence on the English lan- 
 guage as this ; yet it is not possible that the 
 work of any man, or of any body of men, should 
 so fix the external form of the language, as to 
 put a stop to further alterations. Johnson justly 
 says, " No dictionary of a living language ever 
 can be perfect, since, while it is hastening to 
 publication, some words are budding, and some 
 are falling away." And he also remarks, " The 
 orthography which I recommend is still contro- 
 vertible." It is undoubtedly true that there 
 never was before, during any century since the 
 first formation of the English language, so great 
 an influx of new words into it, as there has been 
 since the first appearance of Johnson's Diction- 
 ary. Various other changes have taken place. 
 Some words, then obsolete, have been revived ; 
 some, then in use, have fallen away ; to some 
 new significations have been attached ; and 
 many have changed their orthography. 
 
 6. In adjusting the orthography of this Dic- 
 tionary, much care has been taken ; in doing it, 
 attention has been paid to etymology, analogy, 
 and usage ; and in cases in which good usage is 
 divided, etymology and analogy have been con- 
 sulted in deciding disputable points. But no 
 innovation has been made with respect to in- 
 variable and settled usage. 
 
 7. Two of the most noted diversities, with 
 regard to orthography, are found in the two 
 classes of words ending in ic or ick, and in or 
 or our ; as, music, publw, or musick, pvhlick ; 
 favor, honor, or favour, honour. Johnson, in 
 accordance with the general, though not inva- 
 riable usage of his age, wrote tliese words with 
 the k and u. 
 
 8. The use of the k, in this class of words, 
 was laid aside by many writers before the time 
 of Johnson ; and it is omitted in Martin's Dic- 
 tionary, the first edition of which was published 
 in 1749. Martin says, in his Preface, "In this 
 respect [orthography] our dictionaries most cer- 
 tainly want a reformation ; for they all retain the 
 old way of writing technical words with the 
 redundant final k after c ; as, logick, rhdorick, 
 musick, &c., which later writers have justly dis- 
 carded, and more neatly write logic, rhetoric, 
 music, &c. ; and accordingly they here stand in 
 that form through this Dictionary.'' 
 
 9. In the class of words referred to, the k is 
 still retained in the recent editions of Johnson's 
 Dictionary ; also in the dictionaries of Sheridan, 
 Walker, Jameson, and Richardson ; but in most 
 of the other English dictionaries which have 
 been published since that of Johnson, it is omit- 
 
 ted ; and Walker, although he retains it in his 
 Dictionary, condemns the use of it, and observes, 
 that " the omission of it is too general to be 
 counteracted even by the authority of Johnson." 
 The general usage is now so strongly in favor 
 of its omission, that it is high time that it should 
 be excluded from the dictionaries. It is, how- 
 ever, retained in monosyllables ; as, stick, brick, 
 lock ; and in some dissyllables ending in ock ; as, 
 hillock, hemlock, &c. The verbs lo frolic, to 
 mimic, to physic, and to traffic, are written with- 
 out a final k in the present tense ; but on assum- 
 ing another syllable, in forming the past tense 
 and participles, the k must be used to keep 
 the c hard ; as, trctfficked, trafficking. 
 
 10. The question respecting the letter u, in 
 words ending in or or our, — as, favor, honor, or 
 favour, honour, — is attended with much more 
 difiiculty. Most of the words of this class are 
 originally from the Latin, and are regarded as 
 coming into the English through the French, 
 having the termination in that language of eur; 
 aa, faveur, honneur ; and this is the reason as- 
 signed by Johnson for retaining the u. But he 
 is far from being consistent in applying the 
 principle ; for, with respect to the class of words 
 which have the termination or in Latin, and eur 
 in French, he gives many of them witli the u, 
 and many of them without it. 
 
 11. The following words are found in John- 
 son's Dictionary with the u in the last sylla- 
 ble:-

 13. The same principle will apply to the or- 
 thography of the last syllable of most of the 
 words in the two lists; and the inconsistency 
 will be obvious by merely comparing the words 
 arUeriour and irtteriour, which are written by 
 Johnson with the it, with posterior and exterior, 
 which aie written without it In some of the 
 recent forms and abridgments of Johnson's Dic- 
 tionary, the u is omitted in a part of the words in 
 which ho inserted it Some of the English dic- 
 tionaries, which have been published since the 
 first publication of Johnson's, scrupulously fol- 
 low him generally in retaining the u ; yet they 
 omit it in the words in which he omitted it 
 Several of the English dictionaries omit it in 
 all these words, except most of the dissyllables 
 in the first of the above lists, and the following 
 words, which are not derived from the Latin: 
 behaviour, demeanour, misdemeanour, endeavour, 
 and enamour, and their derivatives, disfavour, 
 dishonour, favourable, honourable, &c. If we 
 turn from the dictionaries to inquire what is the 
 general usage of those who write the language, 
 we shall find it in a very unsettled state. In 
 the United States, it is the prevailing, though by 
 no means the universal, practice to exclude the 
 u from all this class of words. " In England," 
 says Mr. Smart, (1836,) "such is not the practice 
 of the day, although some years ago there was a 
 great tendency towards it The following, indeed, 
 are inclined to the Latin termination, and some 
 of them so decidedly, that to write them with our 
 would incur the opinion of great singularity, if 
 not of fault : eiror, emperor, governor, warrior, 
 superior, horror, tremor, dolor, tumor, tenor, 
 clangor, fulgor, savor." To these he might have 
 added a number of others found in the first of 
 the above lists, with equal propriety ; yet, in 
 England, it is the prevailing practice to retain 
 the u in most of the dissyllables in the first list, 
 and also in such of the other words as are not 
 derived from the Latin. The eye is ofiended at 
 seeing a word spelled in a manner to which it is 
 unaccustomed; and the eyes of most readers 
 would now be ofiended at seeing emperour, infe- 
 
 riour, oratour, possessour, successour, and errour, 
 written with the u ; and those of many are of- 
 fended by seeing_/at)or, honor, and savior, written 
 without it It is diflicult to fiix the limit for a 
 partial omission ; and the rule, which entirely 
 excludes tlie u from this class of words, and 
 which is in accordance with the prevailing usage 
 in the United States, is the most convenient, if 
 not the most unexceptionable method. 
 
 RULES OF ORTHOGRAPHY. 
 
 14. Verbs of one syllable, ending with a sm- 
 gle consonant, preceded by a single vowel, (as 
 plan,) and verbs of two or more syllables, end- 
 ing in tlie same manner, and having the accent 
 on the last syllable, (as regret,) double the final 
 consonant of the verb, on assuming an additional 
 syllable; as, plan, planned ; regret, regretted ; — 
 but, if a diphthong precedes the last consonant, 
 (as join,) or the accent is not on the last sylla- 
 ble, (as suffer,) the consonant is not doubled ; as, 
 join, joined ; suffer, suffered. 
 
 15. There is an exception to the last clause 
 of the above rule, with respect to most of the 
 verbs ending in the letter I, which, on assuming 
 an additional syllable, are allowed, by general 
 usage, to double the I, though the accent is not 
 on the last syllable ; as, travel, travelling, trav- 
 elled, traveller; libel, libelling, libelled, libeller, 
 libellous; duel, duelling, dueller, duellist. But 
 the derivatives of parallfl are written without 
 doubling the final I ; as, paralleled, unparalleled. 
 
 16. The following list comprises the verbs 
 ending in I, which, without having the accent 
 on the last syllable, yet commonly double the 
 final I: — 
 
 apparel dishevel handsel 
 bevel drivel hatchel 
 bowel duel imperil 
 
 cancel embowel jewel 
 carol enamel kennel 
 
 cavil empanel label 
 
 channel equal level 
 chisel gambol libel 
 counsel gravel marshal 
 cudgel grovel marvel 
 
 17. The derivatives of these verbs are 
 spelled, in the Dictionaries of Perry and Web- 
 ster, with a single I ; and this mode is also more 
 or less favored by the lexicographers Ash and 
 Walker, by Bishop Lowth, and by some other 
 scholars ; and it evidently better accords with 
 the analogy of the language ; though the pre-i 
 vailing usage is to double the I 
 
 model

 panel

 parcel

XXVIU 
 
 ORTHOGRAPHV 
 
 18. The verb to lias commonly doubles the s 
 on assuming an additional syllable ; as, Massing, 
 biassed, biasser. The verb to kidnap, on assum- 
 ing another syllable, always doubles the p ; and 
 the word worship also, according to general 
 usage, does so ; as, kidnapping, kidnapped, kid- 
 napper ; worshipping, worshipped, ivorshipper. 
 
 19. There is some diversity in usage, with re- 
 spect to several other verbs ending in p, and 
 also with respect to several ending in t, which, 
 although the accent is not on the last syllable, 
 are sometimes allowed to double the last con- 
 sonant, when another syllable is added. But 
 the more correct and regular mode is, to write 
 them without doubling the final consonant, in 
 the following maimer : — 
 
 Benefit benefited benefiting 
 
 Bufiet buffeted bufl^eting 
 
 Closet closeted closeting 
 
 Develop developed developing 
 
 Discomfit discomfited discomfiting 
 Envelop enveloped enveloping 
 
 Fillip filliped filliping 
 
 Gallop galloped galloping 
 
 Gossip gossiped gossiping 
 
 Limit limited limiting 
 
 Profit profited profiting 
 
 Rivet riveted riveting 
 
 Scallop scalloped scalloping 
 
 Wallop walloped walloping 
 
 20. There is a class of words, ending in tre, 
 as centre, metre, &c., which are often written 
 center, meter, &c. ; but the former mode, which 
 is followed in this Dictionary, is agreeable to 
 the prevailing usage, and is supported by most 
 of the English lexicographers. 
 
 21. There is a diversity with respect to the 
 use of the letters s and z in a number of verbs 
 ending in ise or tze;' but the following rule is 
 observed in this Dictionary : — When the word 
 is a derivative of the French prendre, the termi- 
 nation is ise, as surprise, enterprise; but verbs 
 derived from Grreek verbs ending in i^ca, and 
 others formed after the same analogy, are writ- 
 ten with the termination ize ; as, agonize, char- 
 acterize, patronize. 
 
 22. Derivative adjectives ending in able are 
 written without an e before a; as, blamdble, 
 movable, not blameable, moveable; except those 
 of which the primative word ends in ce or ge ; 
 in such the e is retained to soften the preceding 
 consonant ; as, peaceable, changeable. 
 
 23. Compound words formed by prefixing a 
 word or syllable to a monosyllable ending in all, 
 retain the double I; as, appall, befall, bethrall, 
 
 downfall, forestall, fuzzball, headstall, install, in- 
 thrall, laystall, miscall, overfall, recall, savecM, 
 thumbstall, waterfall, windfall. — Withal, there- 
 withal, and wherewithal, end with a single I. 
 
 24. A class of other compound words retain 
 the final double I which is found in the simple 
 words ; as, bridewell, foretell, downhill, uphill, 
 molehill, watermiU, windmill, handmill. 
 
 WORDS OF DOUBTFUL OR VARIOUS 
 ORTHOGRAPHY. 
 
 25. Very few of the words which belong to 
 the several classes referred to in the above re- 
 marks, are comprised in the following Vocabu- 
 lary ; but, with the exception of these classes, 
 this Vocabulary contains nearly all the English 
 words with regard to which a, diversity of or- 
 thography is, at present, often met with. 
 
 26. The orthography found in the left-hand 
 column of the Vocabulary is deemed to be well 
 authorized ; but with respect to the authority of 
 that which stands on the right hand, there is a 
 great diversity. In some cases, this is nearly or 
 quite as well authorized as tliat on the left hand ; 
 but in some instances, it has only a feeble sup- 
 port, and is rarely met with. 
 
 27. In some cases, words are so variously 
 affected by etymology, analogy, lexicographical 
 authority, and general usage, that it is difficult 
 to determine what orthography is best supported. 
 This is the fact with respect to the words abridg- 
 ment or abridgement, bass or base, (in music,) 
 chintz or chints, connection or connexion, controller 
 or comptroller, contemporary or cotemporary, de- 
 spatch or dispatch, dexterous or dextrous, diocese 
 or diocess, divest or devest, duchy or dutchy, 
 guarantee or guaranty, hinderance or hindrance, 
 holiday or holyday, jail or gaol, judgment or 
 judgement, marquis or marquess, loadstone or 
 lodestone, loadstar or lodestar, meagre or meager, 
 naught or nought, preterit or preterite, pumpkin or 
 pompion, recognizance or recognisance, sceptic or 
 skeptic, strew or straw, thresh or thrash, waive or 
 wave, (to put off,) woe or wo, yelk or yolk, and 
 various others. — See the following words in 
 the Dictionary : Despatch, Guarantee, Judg- 
 ment, Sceptic, Soliped, Soothe, and Trav- 
 eller. 
 
 28. There is a class of words which have, in 
 their derivation, a twofold origin, from tlie 
 Latin and the French languages, and are in- 
 diiferently written with the first syllable en or 
 
WORDS OF DOUBTFUL OR VARIOUS ORTHOGRAPHY. 
 
 XXIX 
 
 in, the former being derived from the French, 
 and the latter from the Latin. With respect to 
 some of these, it is difficult to determme which 
 form is best supported by usage. This is the 
 fact in relation to the words enclose or inclose, 
 inquire or enquire, insure or ensure, and several 
 others. A few of these words, respecting which 
 the two forms are about equally authorized, are 
 placed in the left-hand column in each mode, 
 and stand in a corresponding manner in the Dic- 
 tionary ; but those which are not repeated under 
 tlie two initial letters E and /, stand, with the 
 orthography which is most approved, in the left- 
 hand column. There is a class of chemical terms, 
 (most of which have been recently introduced 
 into the language,) which have the termina- 
 tion ine or in; as, chlorine, iodine, olivine; or 
 chlorin, iodin, olivin. They are often seen in 
 scientific works in both forms ; but in this Dic- 
 tionary the final e is retained in this class of 
 words. 
 
 29. There are some words, of which the 
 present established orthography is at variance 
 with the most approved dictionaries. This is 
 true with respect to the words chemistry, cheinist, 
 reindeer, scythe, caste, in the sense of a class or 
 tribe, and forte, denoting a strong side, or that 
 in which one excels. The orthography of these 
 words which is here countenanced, though dif- 
 ferent from that best supported by the diction- 
 
 aries, is the one which is now established by 
 general usage. 
 
 30. Although the orthography of the 'wordshow, 
 as here exhibited, is uniformly supported by the 
 best dictionaries, and also best corresponds to its 
 pronunciation, yet the other form, shew, maintains 
 its ground by a usage quite as common with the 
 best authors. — See Show, in the Dictionary. 
 
 31. With respect to the word mosquito or mus- 
 quito, which appears in such a variety of forms, 
 the spelling here preferred, though little sup- 
 ported by the dictionaries, is used in works of 
 science. The form mosquito is the orthogra- 
 phy of the Spapish and Portuguese languages, 
 from which the word is derived, and the one 
 commonly made use of with respect to various 
 geographical places to which the term is applied. 
 
 32. The two different modes of spelling a 
 few of the words in the Vocabulary, are in es- 
 tablished usage, and one is to be preferred to 
 the other according to the sense in which the 
 word is used ; as, for example, the orthography 
 oiflour instead of flower, though not recognized 
 by Johnson, is now well established, when the 
 word is used to denote the edible part of corn ; 
 also the orthography of dye instead of die, in the 
 sense of color, or to tinge with color, is in com- 
 mon and good use ; yet the forms flower and die 
 are unquestioned, when the words are used in 
 other senses.

III. -ENGLISH GRAMMAR. 
 
 In this Dictionary care has been taken to give 
 all the irregular grammatical forms of words. 
 All the verbs of the language which are often 
 met with, whether regular or irregular, are con- 
 jugated; the plural forms of irregular nouns are 
 exhibited ; and occasional observations are made 
 in relation to the grammatical construction and 
 use of words. 
 
 It is not deemed expedient to give here any 
 general system or outline of grammar ; but the 
 design is merely to furnish, on various topics of 
 practical grammar, some notices and remarks, 
 which could not properly be introduced into the 
 body of the Dictionary, and which may facilitate 
 the use of the work. 
 
 The parts of speech in the English language 
 are commonly reckoned nine, or, if the parti- 
 ticiple is considered a distinct part of speech, 
 ten ; namely, the Article, Noun, Pronoun, Ad- 
 jective, Verb, Participle, Adverb, Conjunction, 
 Preposition, and Interjection. 
 
 THE ARTICLE. 
 
 The article is a word prefixed to nouns to 
 point them out, or to limit their signification. 
 The articles are a, or an, and the ; as, a book, 
 an apple, the man. — For the use of the arti- 
 cles, see A, An, and The, in the Dictionary. 
 
 THE NOUN. 
 
 A noun, or substantive, is the name of any 
 thing that exists, or of which we have any 
 idea. Proper nouns are the names of individ- 
 uals, whether persons or things ; as, Alexan- 
 der, America, London. Common nouns are the 
 names of genera or classes. English common 
 nouns are the appellatives or substantives of 
 the English language, or are such as are con- 
 tained in dictionaries of the language. 
 
 English nouns are mostly formed by affixing 
 to the radical parts of words the terminations 
 
 an, ance, ant, ar, ard, art, ary, eer, ent, er, ier 
 ist, ive, or, ster, ate, ee, ite, acy, age, amy, ence, 
 ency, head, hood, ion, ity, ism, merit, mony, ness, 
 on, ry, ship, t, th, tvde, ty, ure, y, dom, cule, cle, 
 el, il, el, in, ine, kin, let, ling, ock, vie. 
 
 Nouns have three cases, nominative, possess^ 
 ive, and objective; three genders, masculine, femr 
 inine, and neuter; and two numbers, singular 
 and plural. 
 
 The plural number is generally formed by 
 adding s to the singular ; as, hook, books ; dove, 
 doves. But if the singular ends in s, ss, sh, eh 
 soft, or X, the plural is formed by the addition 
 of es ; as, rebus, rebuses ; mass, masses ; lash, 
 lashes ; church, churches ; fox, foxes. If the sin- 
 gular ends in ch hard, the plural is formed by 
 adding s only ; as, monarch, monarchs. If the 
 singular ends in o, preceded by another vowel, 
 the plural is formed by the addition of s ; as, 
 folio, folios ; cameo, cameos ; bamboo, bamboos ; 
 embryo, embryos ; but if the final o is preceded 
 by a consonant, the plural is commonly formed 
 by adding es ; as, cargo, cargoes; hero, heroes. 
 The following nouns, however, canto, cento, grot- 
 to, junto, portico, rotunda, salvo, solo, tyro, duode- 
 cimo, octavo, quarto, and some others derived from 
 foreign languages, and hardly Anglicized, as al- 
 bino, domino, &c., commonly have their plural 
 formed by the addition of s only to the singular ; 
 as, canto, cantos. But there are some, respect- 
 ing which usage is not uniform. We some- 
 times see the plural of duodecimo, octavo, and 
 quarto, written with the addition of es, thus, rftj- 
 odedmoes, octavoes, quartoes ; and we also some- 
 times see the plural of volcano written volcanos. 
 
 There is a class of nouns, forming the names 
 of various arts and sciences, which have a plural 
 termination in ics, but have no singular termi- 
 nation ; as, ethics, mathematics, mechanics, metor 
 physics, mnemonics, politics, &c. All nouns of 
 this class are generally considered by gramma- 
 rians as properly plural ; though we sometimes 
 see them, or some of them, joined to verbs in 
 the singular number by respectable writers. 
 
THE NOUN; THE PRONOUN; THE ADJECTIVE; THE VERB. 
 
 xli 
 
 Nouns of the singular number ending in y 
 preceded by a consonant, form their plurals by 
 changing y into ies ; as, lady, ladies ; body, 
 bodies ; but those ending in y preceded by a 
 vowel, form their plurals regularly, by the addi- 
 tion of s only to the singular; as, valley, val- 
 leys ; attorney, attorneys, &c. These plurals are 
 sometimes erroneously written vallies, attomies, 
 &c. 
 
 There is a class of nouns ending in f, or fe, 
 viz., beef, calf, elf, half, knife, leaf, life, loaf, self, 
 sheaf, shelf, vdfe, wolf, which form their plurals 
 by changing/, or fe, into ves ; as, beeves, calves, 
 &c. The word wharf, according to the pre- 
 vailing American usage, is conformed to this 
 class, having for its plural wharves ; though, ac- 
 cording to English usage, the plural is wharfs. 
 — Staff commonly has staves in the plural ; but 
 other nouns ending in ff, and also in /, except 
 those above enumerated, form their plurals reg- 
 ularly, by adding s to the singular ; as, muff', 
 miffs ; proof, proofs, &,c. 
 
 There is a considerable number of words 
 derived from the Greek and Latin languages, 
 which are often used in English, and are more 
 or less Anglicized, and of which the Greek and 
 Latin plurals are sometimes used, and sometimes 
 plurals formed according to the analogy of the 
 English language. Of tliis class are encomium, 
 memorandum, medium, radius, dogma, of which 
 the Latin plurals are encomia, memoranda, me- 
 dia, radii, dogmata ; the English, encomiums, 
 memorandums, mediums, radiuses, dogmas. The 
 two plurals are generally given, in this Dic- 
 tionary, under such words as admit the use of 
 both. 
 
 There are some words which have the plural 
 form, but which are used in both the singular 
 and the plural number, or respecting the number 
 of which there is a want of agreement among 
 grammarians. Of this class are alms, bellows, 
 gallows, means, news, and pains. — See these 
 words in the Dictionary. 
 
 Nouns formed by the addition of ful (from 
 the adjective fidl) to another word, as mouthful, 
 spoonful, are regarded as indivisible compounds, 
 and form their plurals in a regular manner by 
 the addition of «; as, mottthfuls, spoonfuls. But 
 some compound nouns, which have the parts of 
 which they are compounded connected by hy- 
 phens, have the plural termination affixed to 
 the first part ; as, aide-de-camp, aides-de-camp ; 
 cousin-german, cousins-german ; court-martial, 
 courts-martial; father-in-law, faihers-in-law. 
 
 (6) 
 
 THE PRONOUN. 
 
 The different kinds of pronouns are specified 
 in the notice of the word Pronoun, in the Dic- 
 tionary, where they are also severally noticed. 
 
 THE ADJECTIVE. 
 
 An adjective is a word added to a noun to 
 express its quality, or limit its meaning; as, 
 a good man ; a green field ; three apples. 
 
 A great part of the adjectives of the English 
 language are formed by affixing to the radical 
 parts of words the terminations ac, al, an, ar, 
 ary, en, ic, ical, id, He, ine, ory, ate, ful, ose, ous, 
 some, y, ish, like, ly, ive, able, ible, uble, less. 
 
 Most adjectives have two variations from the 
 simple or positive form of the word, called de- 
 grees of comparison, namely, the comparative 
 and superlative. 
 
 In words of one syllable the comparative is 
 commonly formed by adding r or er to the posi- 
 tive ; as, udse, wiser ; soft, softer ; and the super- 
 lative, by adding st or est ; as, wise, vAsest ; soft, 
 softest. 
 
 Adjectives of more than one syllable are com- 
 monly compared by prefixing more and most to 
 the positive ; as, useful, more useful, mast use- 
 ful. — The termination ish, annexed to the pos- 
 itive, denotes a diminution of the quality; as, 
 black, blackish. 
 
 Several adjectives form their degrees of com- 
 parison in an irregular manner. These are 
 good, bad, little, many, much, near, late, and 
 old. — See these words in the Dictionary. 
 
 THE VERB. 
 
 A verb is a part of speech which signifies to 
 be, to do, or to suffer; or it is a word by means 
 of which something is affirmed respecting some 
 person or thing ; as, 1 am ; you hear ; he is in- 
 structed. 
 
 The person or thing respecting which any 
 thing is affirmed, is called the sulgecl. A verb 
 in the infinitive mode is not connected with any 
 subject, and no affirmation can be made by it. 
 
 Verbs are divided into active or traTisitive, and 
 neuter or intransitive. In this Dictionary, as 
 well as in most other modern English diction- 
 aries, verbs to which v. a. is annexed are active, 
 or transitive, verbs ; and those to which v. n. is 
 annexed are neuter, or intransitive, verbs. 
 
 An active, or transitive, verb expresses an ac- 
 tion passing from an agent or actor to some 
 
 (D*) 
 
xlii 
 
 ENGLISH GRAMMAK. 
 
 object acted upon ; and it requires ttie addition 
 of an object to complete the sense ; as, " The 
 master teaches ^epupU," or "The master teaches 
 him.'" Here pupil and him denote objects acted 
 upon, and are in the objective case, governed 
 by the active or transitive verb teach. 
 
 A neuter, or intransitive, verb expresses neither 
 action nor passion, but being or state of being ; 
 and it does not require the addition of an object 
 to complete the sense ; as, " He is ; " " The sun 
 shines." — There is a class of verbs which are 
 generally ranked among neuter verbs, and which 
 denote action confined to the subject, without 
 any object acted upon; as, "I run;" "He 
 walks." These are, by some grammarians, 
 styled active-intransitive verbs, in distinction 
 from adive-transitive verbs. 
 
 A passive verb is formed by associating the 
 perfect participle of an active verb with some 
 tense of the verb to be ; and it implies an object 
 acted upon, and an agent by which it is acted 
 upon ; as, " Caesar was slain by Brutus." 
 
 A regular verb is one which forms its imper- 
 fect tense and perfect participle by adding d or 
 ed to the present ; as, love, loved ; call, called. 
 
 An irregular verb is one which does not form 
 its imperfect tense and perfect participle by 
 adding d or ed to the present ; as, present write, 
 imperfect wrote, perfect participle written. 
 
 All the verbs of the English language, which 
 are often used, whether regular or irregular, 
 are carefiiUy conjugated, where they severally 
 occur, in this Dictionary. It is, therefore, not 
 deemed necessary to insert here a table of 
 irregular verbs. 
 
 Auxiliary verbs, called also helping verbs, are 
 those by means of which English verbs are 
 principally conjugated. They are do, be, have, 
 must, may, can, shall, will, with their inflections. 
 Might, could, should, and would, which are re- 
 garded as the imperfect or past tenses of may, 
 can, shall, and will, commonly imply past time ; 
 yet they are sometimes used in the conditional 
 present and future tenses. 
 
 Many verbs are formed by affixing, to the 
 radical parts of words, ate, en, fy, ish, ise, ize. 
 
 The Conjugation op Verbs. 
 
 The conjugation of a verb is the regular com- 
 bination and arrangement of its several num- 
 bers, persons, moods, and tenses. 
 
 The conjugation of an active verb is styled 
 the ACTIVE VOICE, and that of a passive verb, 
 
 the PASSIVE VOICE. 
 
 The auxiliary and the active verb To Have 
 is conjugated in the following manner: —

 It is very common to vary the terminations of 
 verbs in the subjunctive mood in the same man-

 So also, "If I am, if thou art, if he is; if we

 instead of « If I be," &c.

 THE PARTICIPLE. 
 
 The parHdple is, by some grammarians, con- 
 sidered as a distinct part of speech, and by 
 others it is regarded only as a form of the verb. 
 It is derived from the verb, and partakes of the 
 signification and properties of the verb. It is 
 an adjective form of the verb, and, like an ad- 
 jective, belongs to a noun ; and it signifies 
 doing, being, or suffering, without affirming any 
 thing. It becomes a noun by preiixing to it 
 the definite article the. — There are three par- 
 ticiples : the present, ending in ing, as moving ; 
 the perfect, past, or passive, ending (if the verb 
 is regular) in erf, as moved ; and the compound 
 perfect, as having moved. 
 
 The participle in ing, though properly and 
 generally active, is sometimes used in a pas- 
 sive sense ; as, " Forty and six years was this 
 temple in building" John ii. — " The nation 
 
 had cried out loudly against the crime while it 
 was committing." Bolinghroke. — " My Lives are 
 reprinting." Johnson. — Within a few years, a 
 strange and awkward neologism has been intro- 
 duced, by which the present passive partidpk is 
 substituted, in such cases as the above, for the 
 participle in ing; and in the above examples, 
 instead of " in building^' " was committing" 
 and " are reprinting," the modern innovators 
 would say, "ire being built," "was being com- 
 mitted," " are being reprinted." This new form 
 has been used by some respectable writers. 
 The following are instances of it : " For those 
 who are being educated in our seminaries." R. 
 Souihey. — " It was being uttered." Coleridge. — 
 "The foundation was being laid." Brit. Critic. 
 — "It [rsTv/i/iivog] signifies properly, though in 
 uncouth English, one who is being beaten." Abp. 
 Whalely. — " The bridge is being built, and 
 other phrases of the like kind, have pained the 
 eye." D. Booth. — This phrase " in uncouth Eng- 
 lish " has been censured by many, and defended 
 by some. The Eclectic Review remarks, " That 
 a need of this phrase, or an equivalent one, is 
 felt, is sufficiently proved by the extent to which 
 it is used by educated persons and respectable 
 writers." 
 
 THE ADVERB. 
 
 An adverb is a word added to a verb, an ad- 
 jective, and sometimes to another adverb, to 
 express some quality or circumstance respecting 
 it; as, "He writes well;" "A tndy excellent 
 scholar ;" "He speaks very correctly." A great 
 many adverbs are formed from adjectives by the 
 addition of ly, or by changing eio y ; as, wise, 
 wisely; noble, nobly. 
 
 THE PREPOSITION. 
 
 Prepositions show the relations between 
 words, and are generally placed before nouns 
 and pronouns in the objective case. 
 
 There are many nouns, adjectives, verbs, and 
 participles, which are followed by their appro- 
 priate prepositions; and there are instances in 
 which it is a matter of some difficulty to de- 
 termine what preposition is most suitable to be 
 used. The following list comprises a consider- 
 able number of words, with the proper preposi- 
 tion subjoined.

IV.-ORIGIN, FORMATION, AND ETYMOLOGY OF 
 THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. 
 
 1. The earliest authentic event recorded in 
 the history of Britain, was the landing of Julius 
 Caesar on the eastern shore, fifty-five years he- 
 fore the Christian era. The country was then 
 inhabited hy the Britons, a Celtic race, who 
 continued to hold possession of it till the mid- 
 dle of the fifth century. Of their language, 
 styled the Celtic, or, with reference to Britain, 
 the British, few traces now exist in England, 
 except in geographical names, as those of some 
 towns, mountains, rivers, lakes, &c. ; but the re- 
 mains of it are to be found in the Gaelic of 
 the Scottish Highlands, in the Welsh, the Erse 
 or Irish, and the Manks language, in the Isle 
 of Man. 
 
 3. About the middle of the fiflii century, 
 the Saxons from Lower Germany invaded 
 the island ; and, before many years elapsed, 
 they established their authority over the most 
 of that part of it which is now called England ; 
 and the Britons were driven into Wales. From 
 a leading branch of the Saxons, called Angles, 
 the country received its name of England, and 
 the new language was denominated from them 
 the Anglo-Saxon; often also called simply the 
 Saxon. At the time of their invasion, the Sax- 
 ons were an illiterate people ; but they after- 
 wards cultivated learning to some extent ; and 
 among their principal writers were Gildas, Csed- 
 mon, ./Elfric, Bede, and King Alfred. 
 
 3. The Anglo-Saxon dynasty, after having 
 continued about six hundred years, was termi- 
 nated, in 1066, by the invasion of William, Duke 
 of Normandy, commonly called the Conqueror. 
 The Norman French now became the language 
 of the court and the upper classes, while the Sax- 
 on continued to be the only speech of the com- 
 mon people or peasantry. In the course of time, 
 these two languages were blended into one, and 
 became the basis of the present English. "The 
 Saxon power," Dr. Bosworth remarks, " ceased 
 when William the Conqueror ascended the 
 throne, but not the language ; for Anglo-Saxon, 
 
 after rejecting or changing many of its inflec- 
 tions, continued to he spoken by the old inhab- 
 itants till the time of Henry III., A. D. 1358. 
 What was written after this period has gener- 
 ally so great a resemblance to our present lan- 
 guage, that it may evidently be called English." 
 The following is the statement of Hippisley, a 
 late English writer : " Although neither the ori- 
 gin nor subsequent progress of English can be 
 assigned to any specified dates, yet, for the sake 
 of perspicuity, we may (as in the case of general 
 history) establish arbitrary and conventional di- 
 visions. Thus we say, generally speaiing, that 
 about 1150 may be dated the decline of pure 
 Saxon ; about 1350 the commencement of Eng- 
 lish; and that the century between these two 
 dates was occupied by a kind of semi-Saxon 
 language." 
 
 4. After the Norman conquest, the Saxon 
 laws were continued in force, and were trans- 
 lated into Norman French. " The proceedings," 
 as stated by Blackstone, (Commentaries, Book 
 III. chap. 31,) " were all written, as indeed all 
 public proceedings were, in Norman or law 
 French, and even the arguments of the counsel 
 and the decisions of the court were in the same 
 barbarous dialect This continued till the reign 
 of Edward HI., who, having employed his arms 
 successfully in subduing the crown of France, 
 thought it unbecoming the dignity of the victors 
 to use any longer the language of a vanquished 
 country. By a statute, therefore, passed in the 
 36th year of his reign [1363,] it was enacted, 
 that, for the future, all pleas should be pleaded, 
 shown, defended, answered, debated, and judged, 
 in the English tongue, but be entered and en- 
 rolled in Latin." This is the date of the tri- 
 umph of the English language over the French 
 in the English courts of law. 
 
 5. In the fourteenth century flourished Chau- 
 cer, the great early English poet ; also Sir John 
 Mandeville, the traveller, and John Wicliffe, the 
 reformer, both distinguished as early English 
 
ORIGIN, FORMATION, AND ETYMOLOGY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. li 
 
 prose writers. But the times, long after the age 
 of Chaucer, continued barbarous, and, till after 
 the invention of printing and the revival of 
 learning, few writers appeared to cultivate and 
 improve the language, or to enrich it with val- 
 uable works. It was in the sixteenth century, 
 during the reign of the Tudor family, that the 
 language assumed, substantially, the external 
 form in which it is now found, and became en- 
 riched by many productions which still form a 
 part of its standard literature. 
 
 6. The Saxon or Anglo-Saxon language, 
 which is a branch of the Teutonic, the lan- 
 guage of the Teutones, a people who inhabited 
 a large part of central Europe, while the Celts 
 overspread the west, is the parent language of 
 the English. Some of the other north European 
 languages, of the great Teutonic or Gotho- 
 Teutonic family, which have contributed to 
 enrich the English tongue, are the Danish, 
 Swedish, Norwegian, and Icelandic, of the 
 Scandinavian branch, and the German and 
 Dutch, of the Germanic branch. The south 
 European languages which have furnished the 
 largest contributions, are the Greek, Latin, and 
 French ; especially the Latin, through the me- 
 dium of the French or Norman French; also 
 the Italian, the Spanish, and various other lan- 
 guages, have afforded more or less. 
 
 7. The Anglo-Saxon is the language to which 
 the English owes its general form and structure, 
 all the particles on which its syntax depends, 
 all its pronouns and conjunctions ; nearly all its 
 prepositions, most of its monosyllables, and, 
 indeed, all the words that are most frequently 
 repeated on the same page. 
 
 8. The predominance of Anglo-Saxon will 
 readily be seen by analyzing a passage in any 
 common English writer. Of the sixty-six words 
 which are comprised in the Lord's prayer, there 
 are only five that are not Anglo-Saxon. Mr. 
 Sharon Turner, in his " History of the Anglo- 
 Saxons," has adduced from popular English 
 writers sixteen extracts, in which he has dis- 
 criminated, by Italics, the words which are An- 
 glo-Saxon from those of foreign origin. Two 
 of his extracts are here quoted, and also the 
 results of the comparisons of all of them are 
 given. The words which are not Anglo-Saxon 
 are in Italics in the following extracts: — 
 
 9. " And they made ready the present against 
 Joseph came at noon ; for they heard that they 
 should eat bread there. And when Joseph came 
 home, they brought him the present which was 
 in their hand into the house, and bowed them- 
 
 selves to him to the earth. And he asked them 
 of their welfare, and said, Is your father well, 
 the old man of whom ye spake ? Is he yet 
 alive? And they answered. Thy servant our 
 father is in good health, he is yet alive. And 
 they bowed down their heads, and made ohei- 
 sance. And he lift up his eyes, and saw his 
 brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, Is 
 this your younger brother, of whom ye spake 
 unto me ? And he said, God be gracious unto 
 thee, my son." — Gen. xliii. 25 — ^29. 
 
 10. " Of genius, that power which constitutes 
 a poet ; that qucdity without which judgment is 
 cold and knowledge is inert ; that energy which 
 collects, combines, amplifies, and animates; the 
 superiority must, with some hesitation, be al- 
 lowed to Dryden. It is not to be inferred, that 
 of this poetical vigor Pope had only a little, be- 
 cause Dryden had more ; for every other writer 
 since Milton must give place to Pope ; and 
 even of Dryden it must be said, that if he has 
 brighter paragraphs, he has not better poems." 
 — Johnson. 
 
 11. In the following table, the figures in the 
 left-hand column show the whole number of 
 words in the above two, and also in the four- 
 teen other, extracts or passages from popular 
 English writers ; and those in the right-hand 
 column, the number of words m each, which 
 are not Saxon.

 12. Of the total number of words in these 
 sixteen passages, the proportion not Saxon is 
 somewhat less than one fifth. It is to be ob- 
 served, that, in this computation, every repetition 
 of a word is counted. In the verses quoted from 
 Genesis, the word and, for example, is repeated, 
 and therefore counted, twelve times. 
 
Ui 
 
 OEIGIN, FORMATION, AND ETYMOLOGY 
 
 13. In the first chapter of the common version 
 of St. John's Gospel, there are one thousand 
 and three words, of which, excepting fifty-three 
 proper names, there are only fifty-five that are 
 not Anglo-Saxon. In this chapter the particle tfee 
 occurs sixty-eight times ; and, sixty-one times ; 
 of, thirty-nine times ; thxd, nineteen times ; unto, 
 fifteen times ; to, tliirteen times. Of the three 
 personal pronouns, /, thou, and h£, including 
 their obUque forms, those of the first person 
 occur thirty-three times ; those of the second, 
 thirty times ; those of the third, eighty times. 
 The verb to be, in its difierent inflections, occurs 
 forty-six times. All these words, of so frequent 
 occurrence, are Anglo-Saxon. There is, per- 
 haps, no book in the English language in which 
 Anglo-Saxon words more abound than in the 
 common version of the Bible. Works which 
 treat of the common aSairs of life, have the 
 greatest proportion of such words, and scientific 
 works, the least. 
 
 14. « If we look not merely at the number of 
 the words which the Anglo-Saxon has contrib- 
 uted to the English, but to the kinds of words, as 
 well as to the share it has had in its formation 
 £ind development, we shall at once see that there 
 is no comparison between the importance of 
 this and that of any other element. English 
 grammar is almost exclusively occupied with 
 what is of Anglo-Saxon origin. Our chief pe- 
 culiarities of structure and of idiom are essen- 
 tially Anglo-Saxon ; while almost all the classes 
 of words, which it is the office of grammar to 
 investigate, are derived from that language. 
 And though these peculiarities of structure may 
 occupy little space, and tliese words be very 
 few compared with those to be found in John- 
 son's Dictionary, they enter most vitally into the 
 constitution of the language, and bear a most 
 important part in shaping and determining its 
 character. Thus what few inflections we have 
 are all Anglo-Saxon. The English genitive, the 
 general modes of forming the plural of nouns, 
 and the terminations by which we express the 
 comparative and superlative of adjectives, er 
 and est ; the inflections of the pronouns ; of the 
 second and third persons, present and imperfect, 
 of the verbs ; of the preterits and participles of 
 tlie verbs, whether regular or irregular ; and the 
 most frequent termination of our adverbs [ly), are 
 all Anglo-Saxon. The nouns, too, derived from 
 Latin and Greek, receive the Anglo-Saxon ter- 
 minations of the genitive and the plural, while 
 the preterits and participles of verbs, derived 
 from the same sources, take Anglo-Saxon inflec- 
 
 tions. As to the parts of speech, those which 
 occur most frequently, and are individually of 
 most importance, are almost whoUy Anglo-Sax- 
 on. Such are our articles and definitives gen- 
 erally ; as, an, the, this, that, these, those, numy, 
 few, some, one, none ; the adjectives whose com- 
 paratives and superlatives are irregularly formed, 
 and which are, in every language, among the 
 most ancient, comprehensive in meaning, and 
 extensively used ; the separate words more and 
 most, by which we as often express the forms 
 of comparison as by distinct terminations ; all 
 our pronouns, personal, possessive, and inter- 
 rogative ; nearly every one of our so-called ir- 
 regular verbs, including all the auxiliaries, 
 have, be, shall, wUl, may, can, must, by which 
 we express the force of the principal varieties 
 of mood and tense ; all the adverbs most fi:e- 
 quently employed, and the prepositions and con- 
 junctions almost witliout exception." 
 
 « The English language consists of about 
 38,000 words. This includes, of course, not 
 only radical words, but all derivatives, except 
 the preterits and participles of verbs ; to which 
 must be added some terms, which, though set 
 down in the dictionaries, are either obsolete, or 
 have never ceased to be considered foreign. 
 Of these about 23,000, or nearly five eighths, 
 are of Anglo-Saxon origin In Bos- 
 worth's Anglo-Saxon Lexicon, there are from 
 25,000 to 28,000 words, counting, of course, 
 compound words as well as roots. Supposing 
 one fifth of these obsolete, there would remain 
 nearly the numbers already stated." — Edin- 
 burgh Seview, vol. Ixx. 
 
 15. "The peculiar structure of the English 
 language is far from having been investigated, as 
 yet, with that degree of attention and accuracy 
 that it deserves. Among other things, we do 
 not find that any grammarian has been at the 
 pains to take a full comparative view of its two 
 great component parts ; by which we mean, 
 on the one hand, those words that are derived 
 from the Saxon, Danish, and other northern lan- 
 guages, and, on the other hand, those from the 
 Greek, Latin, French, and other idioms of the 
 south of Europe. These two sets of vocables 
 are so dissimilar fixim each other, that they ap- 
 pear, at first view, incapable of being amalga- 
 mated together, so as to form an harmonious 
 whole ; yet who is there that can read, feel, 
 and understand, and does not admire the sub- 
 lime harmony which Milton, Dryden, Pope, 
 Shakspeare, Bolingbroke, and the other immor- 
 tal poets and prose writers of Great Britain, 
 
OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. 
 
 liii 
 
 have produced out of those discordant ele- 
 ments ? To analyze, therefore, those elements, 
 from which have resulted such inconceivable 
 effects, is well worth the trouble of the gram- 
 marian and philologer; and the interesting dis- 
 coveries to which such an inquiry will lead, 
 will amply repay their learned labors. — As far 
 as we have been able to judge from a superfi- 
 cial investigation of the subject, we are apt to 
 believe that the English words of northern derir 
 vation are to those derived from the ancient, as 
 well as the modern languages of Southern Eu- 
 rope, in the proportion of something more than 
 three, but not quite as much as four, to one. As 
 the southern words are, in general, polysyllabic, 
 and make a conspicuous figure wherever they 
 occur, many are apt to think their number 
 greater than on examination it really appears 
 to be." — P. S. Duponceau. 
 
 16. The number of words belonging to the 
 English language has never been accurately 
 ascertained, and it is difficult to ascertain it 
 with exactness ; for it is difficult to form and 
 apply the rules for computing the number. 
 The number which is stated in the preceding 
 extract from the Edinburgh Review, is thirty- 
 eight thousand, which is considerably less than 
 the number found in Johnson's Dictionary, as it 
 was left by him. Of the great number of words 
 which have been introduced into the language, 
 in the various sciences, since the first publica- 
 tion of Johnson's Dictionary, very few are of 
 Anglo-Saxon origin. By adopting so restricted 
 a mode of computing the number of English 
 words, as to exclude aU compound and obsolete 
 words, and all words introduced by the arts 
 and sciences within the past century, and thus 
 to reduce the number to 38,000, the proportion 
 of Anglo-Ssixon words would probably not be 
 far from that above stated ; that is, five eighths. 
 The computation of Mr. Duponceau of the 
 proportion between tlie two classes of English 
 words, those of northern and those of southern 
 derivation, must have been formed, not by 
 analyzing the vocabulary of an English dic- 
 tionary, but by examining the words as they 
 occur on the pages of English books ; and, as 
 Anglo-Saxon words are much more frequently 
 repeated than those of a different origin, there 
 may be no material inconsistency between his 
 computation and that of the Edinburgh Re- 
 view. 
 
 17. The following are the principal Anglo- 
 Swcon prejbces, namely, a, be, em, era, fore, im, 
 mis, out, over, un, and under; as, ohead, be- 
 
 friend, embody, eraable, /orebode, imbosom, mis- 
 deed, oirfdo, overa.ct, unbind, itraliUe, undergo. 
 
 18. Some of the common Anglo-Saxon termi- 
 nations are the followmg, namely, er, fid, less, 
 ly, ness, ship ; as, writer, minAfid, helpless, just- 
 ly, goodness, partners/jip. 
 
 19. The contributions of the Latin language 
 to the English, are next, in importance and 
 amount, to those of the Anglo-Saxon ; and these 
 contributions came chiefly through the medium 
 of the French, or Norman French, in conse- 
 quence of the JSIorman conquest. It has been 
 stated by some philologists, that the English 
 language is indebted to the Latin for the greater 
 part of its vocabulary. This, however, is a 
 greatly exaggerated statement ; yet the contribu- 
 tions from that language are great and important, 
 and they enter extensively into the formation 
 and etymology of English words. The Latin 
 has furnished a large portion of the abstract and 
 general terms, especially in the departments of 
 theology, moral and political philosophy, and all 
 the moral sciences ; also a great part of the 
 terms used in polite literature, and the lan- 
 guage of polite life. A great part of the mili- 
 tary terms in English, come directly from the 
 French. 
 
 20. The following are Latin prefixes : a, ab, 
 abs, from ; as, avert, aftjure, abstract ; — ad, a, 
 ac, of, ag, al, an, ap, ar, as, at, to ; as, arfduce, 
 accede, af&x, &c. ; — ante, before ; as, antece- 
 dent ; — circum, about ; as, circwmjacent ; — con, 
 CO, cog, col, com, cor, together, with ; as, conform, 
 coeval, collect, &c. ; — contra, against; as, con- 
 tradict ; — de, down, from ; as, cfeface, degrade ; 
 
 — dis, asunder; as, cKsarm; — e, ex, out of; as, 
 eject, ea;clude ; — extra, beyond ; as, extrajudi- 
 cial; — in, ig, U, im, ir, (when prefixed to a 
 verb,) in ; as, indue ; (when prefixed to an ad- 
 jective,) not; as, invisible ; — inter, between; as, 
 intermix ; — intra, within ; as, introduce ; — ob, 
 oc, of, op, for, in the way of; as, oiject, occur ; 
 
 — per, through; as, pervade; — post, after; as,

 beyond ; as, preternatural ; — pro, for, forward ; 
 as, proconsul ; — re, back, again ; as, return, re- 
 build; — retro, backward; as, retrospect; — se, 
 aside ; as, secede ; — sine, without ; as, sinecure ; 
 
 — sub, sue, suf, sug, sup, sus, under, after; as, 
 subieaji, suffice, suggest, supplant, sitspect ; — 
 super, above ; as, superabound, supernatural ; — 
 trans, beyond ; as, transcend ; — ultra, beyond ; 
 as, itKramarine.

 29. To the Greek, the English language is 
 indebted for most of the terms in physical 
 science, and, indeed, for a great part of the 
 terms employed in all the arts and sciences. 
 
 23. The following are Greek prefixes : a, («,) 
 without; as, acephalous; — ana, (&v6i,) through, 
 again ; as, amagram ; — anti, [ivrl,) against ; as, 
 ajrfichnstian ; — apo, {&n6,) from ; as, apostate ; 
 — cata, {xari,) down, from side to side ; as, cata-

 about ; as, perimeter ; — syn, sy, syl, sym, {aiv,) 
 together, with ; as, synonymous, syflogism. 
 
 24. The following terminations are from the 
 Greek: ic and ical, from the Greek ixog and 
 Latin icus ; logy, from Uyog ; graphy, from 
 ygdupu; ize, from i^to. 
 
V. -ARCHAISMS, PROVINCIALISMS, AND 
 AMERICANISMS. 
 
 1. The English language, from the time of 
 its first formation, has been subject to continual 
 changes. Old words have been, from time to 
 time, falling away, and new ones have been 
 formed and brought into use. A large part of 
 the words found in the early productions of Eng- 
 lish literature, such as those of Peter Langtoft, 
 Robert of Gloucester, "Robert Langland, (the 
 reputed author of " Piers Ploughman,") Gower, 
 Chaucer, Wicliffe, and MandevUle, are now ob- 
 solete ; and in order to understand these works, 
 fttrther assistance is necessary than is afforded 
 by modern dictionaries and grammars. Very 
 few of the English writers who preceded the 
 reign of Elizabeth, are now much read ; and the 
 obsolete words which their works contain may 
 properly be consigned to glossaries accompany- 
 ing the works, or to dictionaries of archaic 
 words. 
 
 2. Several of these early productions have 
 been published with glossaries attached to them, 
 as the Chronicles of Peter Langtoft and Robert 
 of Gloucester, by Hearne ; and the works of 
 Chaucer, by Tyrrwhit. Glossaries have also 
 been appended to Spenser and Shakspeare. 
 Some works of a more general nature, relating 
 to obsolete or archaic words, have, not long 
 since, appeared ; as " Nares's Glossary or Col- 
 lection of Words, Phrases, &c., found in Shak- 
 speare and his Contemporaries," and Toone's 
 " Glossary and Etymological Dictionary of 
 Obsolete and Uncommon Words." Jamieson's 
 « Etymological Dictionary of the Scottish Lan- 
 guage " also contains numerous archaic, as well 
 as provincial, words. Boucher's " Glossary of 
 Archaic and Provincial Words " (designed to be 
 a large work in 4to.) was commenced in 1832 ; 
 but only two numbers of it have been published. 
 The publication, in a series of numbers, of Hal- 
 liwell's "Dictionary of Archaic and Provincial 
 Words, and Obsolete Phrases, Proverbs, and 
 Ancient Customs, from the 14th Century," was 
 commenced in 1844, and promises to embrace 
 
 as great a number of words as are found in a 
 dictionary of modem English. 
 
 3. The early bilingual dictionaries, such as 
 the English and Latin, and English and French, 
 contain many obsolete words; and this is the 
 fact with respect to many of the English dic- 
 tionaries, as those of Bailey, Johnson, Ash, 
 Richardson, and others. Johnson says, he 
 "fixed Sidney's work [Sir Philip Sidney, who 
 died in 1586] for the boundary, beyond which 
 he made few excursions." Johnson's Diction- 
 ary, however, as he left it, contains many obso- 
 lete words, a considerable portion of which were 
 taken from Bailey's Dictionary, though of such 
 words he did not take near all that are found 
 in Bailey. Of the words added by Mr. Todd, 
 a much larger proportion are obsolete than of 
 those admitted by Johnson ; and of Todd's addi- 
 tional words, particularly in his second edition, 
 there are many which are of merely local or 
 provincial use, and some of them are unworthy 
 of being mserted in a general dictionary of the 
 language. 
 
 4. A dictionary of the English language, in 
 order to be complete, must contain aU the words, 
 whether obsolete or not, found in books which 
 are much read, such, for example, as the com- 
 mon version of the Scriptures, and the works 
 of Shakspeare and of Milton ; though there are 
 many words in these works which are now ob- 
 solete, and many which, though not obsolete, are 
 used in an obsolete sense, that needs explan- 
 ation. 
 
 5. William Caxton, who first introduced print- 
 ing into England, in his Preface to a Transla- 
 tion of Virgil's ^neid, printed in 1490, speaking 
 of the innovations then made in the English lan- 
 guage, and the differences of the language in 
 the different parts of the kingdom, says, that he 
 " toke an olde boke and redde therein, and cer- 
 taynly the Englisshe was so rude and brood, that 
 
 he coulde not wele understande it" " And 
 
 certaynly," he says, " our language now used 
 
ARCHAISMS, PROVINCIALISMS, AND AMERICANISMS. 
 
 vaiyeth ferre ftom that which was used and 
 spoken when I was horn. For we Englissh men 
 ben borne under the domynacyon of the mone, 
 which is never stedfaste, but ever waverynge, 
 wexyng one season, and waneth and dis- 
 creaseth another season ; and that comyne Eng- 
 lisshe that is spoken one shyre varyeth from 
 anotlier, insomuche, that in my dayes happened, 
 that certayn merchauntes were in a shipp in 
 Tamyse; for to have saUed over the see into 
 Zelande, and for lacke of wynde they taryed 
 atte Forland, and went to lande for to refreshe 
 them; and one of them, named ShefFelde, a 
 mercer, came into an hows, and axed for mete, 
 and specyally he axed for egges, and the goode 
 wyf answerde, that she coude speke no Frenshe. 
 And the marchaunt was angry, for he also 
 coude speke no Frenshe, but wolde have hadde 
 egges, and she understode him not. And then 
 at laste another sayd, that he wolde have eyren ; 
 then the goode wyf sayd, that she understode 
 him well. Loo what sholde a man in thyse days 
 now wryte, egges or eyren ? Certaynly it is 
 hard to playse every man, by cause of dyversyte 
 and chaunge of langage ; for in these days 
 every man, that is in ony reputacyon in his 
 countre, will utter his communicacyon and mat- 
 ters in such manners and termes, that fewe men 
 shall understonde them; and som honest and 
 grete clerkes have been wyth me, and desired 
 me to wryte the moste curyous termes that I 
 coude find. And thus between playn, rude, 
 and curious, 1 stand abashed. But in my judg- 
 mente, the comyn termes that be dayli used, 
 ben lighter to be understonde than the olde 
 auncyent Englisshe." 
 
 6. England abounds in provincialisms and 
 local dialects; and in some districts of the 
 country, the peculiarities of the language are so 
 great, that the speech of the common people 
 can be but imperfectly understood by those 
 who are unacquainted with their peculiar dia- 
 lect. These peculiarities, or archaisms, are of 
 great antiquity, and, as stated by Forby, "are 
 all, in substance, remnants and derivatives of 
 the language of past ages, which were, at some 
 time or other, in common use, though in long 
 process of time they have become only locally 
 used and understood." 
 
 7. Of tlie local dialects, one of the most noted 
 is the Craven Dialect, which is spoken in the 
 deanery of Craven, a district of Upwards of 
 thirty miles in length and nearly as many in 
 breadth, situated in the northern part of the 
 
 west-riding of the county of York. Mr. Carr, 
 the author of the "Craven Dialect and Glos- 
 sary," maintains that it was « the language of 
 crowned heads, of the court, and of the most 
 eminent English historians, divines, and poets, 
 of former ages.'' These provincialisms now 
 form, to a great extent, the colloquial language 
 of the lower classes ; and many of them are 
 found in the early productions of English litera^ 
 ture ; but in books of modern origin, they are 
 seen chiefly in glossaries. 
 
 8. The Edinburgh Review [vol. Ixxix. 1844] 
 contains the following statement 
 
 " The number of provincial words that have 
 hitherto been arrested by local glossaries, stand 
 as follows : — 
 
 Sussex, 371 
 
 Essex, 589 
 
 Wiltshire, 592

 9. " Admitting that several of the foregoing 
 are synonymous, superfluous, or common to 
 each county, there are, nevertheless, many of 
 them which, although alike orthographically, are 
 vastly dissimilar in signification. Making these 
 allowances, they amount to a little more than 
 20,000 ; or, according to the number of English 
 counties hitherto illustrated, at the average ratio 
 of 1,478 to a county. Calculating the twenty- 
 six unpublished in the same ratio, they will fur- 
 nish 38,428 additional provincialisms, forming, 
 in the aggregate, 59,000 words in the colloquial 
 tongue of the lower classes, which can, for the 
 chief part, produce proofs of legitimate origin ; 
 about the same number, in short, of authorized 
 words that are admitted into Todd's edition of 
 Johnson's Dictionary. Besides these and the 
 private compilations made by individuals, in the 
 course of their miscellaneous reading, there are 
 some very copious early English VocabularieB 
 lying in manuscript in the cathedral libraries of 
 Durham, Winchester, and Canterbury, in the 
 British Museum, King's College, and other de- 
 positories, deserving collection ; as well as rare 
 lexicographical volumes, which issued from the 
 press in the infancy of typography." 
 10. A list of the English provincial glossaries 
 
ARCHAISMS, PROVINCIALISMS, AND AMERICANISMS, 
 
 Ivii 
 
 which contain the words above enumerated, may 
 be seen on page Ixxi. A considerable number 
 of these provincialisms are to be found in Ash's 
 English Dictionary, and also among the addi- 
 tions of Mr. Todd to Johnson's Dictionary. But, 
 as they are not found in the classical or in the 
 popular literature of England, and are rarely 
 seen in print, except in the glossaries in which 
 they have been collected, they have little claim 
 to a place in a general dictionary of the lan- 
 guage. Were education universally diffused 
 throughout the country, and the children accus- 
 tomed to use the same or similar elementary 
 books of instruction, most of these provincial- 
 isms would soon be disused and forgotten. 
 
 11. The English language as it is spoken 
 and written in the United States, differs some- 
 what from tlie language as written and spoken in 
 any part of England ; and it differs also, more or 
 less, in the difierent States ; but there is nothing 
 here at all to be compared with the local dia- 
 lects of England. The greater uniformity of 
 language which exists in this country, is to be 
 attributed to the frequent removals of the in- 
 habitants from one place to another, their free 
 intercourse with each other, and to the fact 
 that elementary education is much more gen- 
 erally diffused among the middle and lower 
 classes here, than in England. The Americans 
 have formed their language more from books, 
 and less from oral speech, than the English; 
 and they are more in the habit of having re- 
 course to a dictionary for instruction respecting 
 the pronunciation and use of words. 
 
 12. The settlement of this country was com- 
 menced, upwards of two centuries ago, chiefly 
 by emigrations from different parts of Great 
 Britain. The emigrants brought with them not 
 only the common language of the country in the 
 state in which it then existed, but also more or 
 less of the local peculiarities ; and in this Way 
 some of the English provincialisms have been 
 widely diffused in the United States, and have 
 Deen regarded as of American origin. The 
 changes in the language, which have taken 
 place within the last two centuries, have not 
 been precisely the same on the two sides of the 
 Atlantic ; yet the difference is much less than 
 might reasonably have been expected ; and it is 
 doubtless a fact, that, among the great mass of 
 the people throughout England, the deviations 
 from what is there deemed the correct standard 
 of speaking and writing the language, are much 
 
 greater than among the mass of the people of 
 the United States. 
 
 13. The Americans have formed some new 
 words ; to some old ones they have affixed new 
 significations ; they have retained some which 
 have become obsolete in England; some Eng- 
 lish provincialisms they have brought into 
 common use; and there are many neologisms, 
 consisting in part of new words, and in part of 
 old words with new significations, in use both in 
 England and in the United States, with regard 
 to which it is difficult to determine in which 
 country they originated. 
 
 14. A great part of the differences with re- 
 spect to the language of the educated classes in 
 the United States and in England, grow out of 
 the different institutions and the different cir- 
 cumstances and employments of the people of 
 the two countries. There is a considerable num- 
 ber of words which owe their origin to Ameri- 
 can institutions, social relations, and occupations, 
 and which are properly used by Americans, but 
 which Englishmen have no occasion to employ, 
 except in speaking of American affairs. On the 
 other hand, there is a still greater number of 
 words which relate to the civil and religious 
 institutions and social relations of Great Britain, 
 and which are never used in the United States, 
 except with reference to that country. Such 
 differences as these have a legitimate origin, 
 and may be regarded as proper, and not as cor- 
 ruptions of the language. But there are many 
 neologisms, or new words, some of American, 
 and still more of recent English origin, which 
 are entitled to little countenance. A considera- 
 ble number of such have been noticed in this 
 Dictionary ; but many have been passed by as 
 plants suffered to remain and die in their native 
 soil, being regarded as not worth transplanting. 
 
 15. Among the words which owe their origin 
 or peculiar use to American institutions, are 
 the following : congress, congressional, president, 
 presidential, senate, senatorial, gubernatorial, 
 state, territory, town, general court, general as- 
 sembly, selectmen, message, &c. The words ex- 
 ecutive and judiciary are often used in the 
 United States as nouns, but not often in Eng- 
 land. The words electioneer and electioneering, 
 which are much used here, are also used, in 
 some degree, in England, though the more com- 
 mon terms used there, in the same sense, are 
 canvass and canvassing, which are rarely used 
 in this manner in the United States. The 
 word cautits is of undisputed American origin. 
 
Iviii 
 
 ARCHAISMS, PROVINCIALISMS, AND AMERICANISMS. 
 
 Among the American ecclesiastical terras may 
 be noted association, associational, consociation, 
 consociational, to approbate, to result, &c. 
 
 16. Among the terms relating to the political 
 and civil institutions of England, rarely used in 
 this country, except with reference to England, 
 may be enumerated the following: parliament, 
 parliamentary, prorogue, prorogation, hustings, 
 exchequer, postman, tubman, sergeant-at-law, as- 
 size, excise, bailiff, lords, commons, peerage, bar- 
 onetage, knightage. Sic. : among the ecclesiastical 
 terras, establishment, conformity, non-conformity, 
 dissenters, dean, deanery, archdeacon, archdeacon- 
 ry, prebend, prebendary, canon, canonry, vicar, 
 vicarage, curate, curacy, dignity, dignified, bene- 
 fice, beneficed, advowson, commendam, donative, 
 preferment, impropriation, impropriator, &c. 
 Among the many neologisms which may claim 
 the undisputed honor of English origin, are con- 
 stituency, boroughmonger, squirarchy, shopocracy, 
 conservatism, radicalism, liberalism, chartism, An- 
 glicanism, high-churchism, dissenterism, volunta- 
 ryism, &c. 
 
 17. There is a difference between the two 
 countries in relation to the terms employed to 
 designate their respective literary institutions, 
 and also with respect to the technical terras 
 used in their universities and colleges. The 
 following English university terras, for example, 
 are not at all used here in the same sense : act, 
 wrangler, optime, bursar, commoner, sizar, pen- 
 sioner, servitor, hattelhr, foundationer ; and the 
 following American terms do not appear to be 
 used in the same sense in England, naraely, 
 commencement, senior, junior, sophomore, fresh- 
 man, salutatory, beneficiary. 
 
 18. Some words, more or less in use, are re- 
 garded as of Indian origin ; as, calumet, choco- 
 late, hominy, moccason, mush, papoose, potato, 
 pounvow, quahaug, sachem, sagamore, samp, suc- 
 cotash, squash, squaw, tobacco, tomato, tomahawk, 
 wampum, wigwam, Yankee. 
 
 19. Of the English provincialisms which are 
 
 often used in the United States, may be enu- 
 merated, to unit, to slump, to rile or to roil, slumpy, 
 slosh, slush, sloshy, slushy, rily or roily, spunk, 
 spunky, spry, squirm, squiggle, quackle, shote, 
 Sue. 
 
 20. There is a considerable number of words 
 the propriety of which has been disputed, but 
 which are now often used both in tlie United 
 States and in England. Such are the follow- 
 ing: to advocate, to base, to demoralize, to de- 
 range, to expatriate, to locale, to obligate, to test, 
 to veto, prayerful, prayerless, profanity, unwell, 
 &c. The following words, which are more or 
 less used in the United States, are little used 
 in England : to approbate, to belittle, to clapboard, 
 to eventuate, to jeopardize, to loan; sundown, 
 bootable, freshet, sled, sleigh, clapboard, shingle, 
 prairie, snag, sawyer, vendue, sparse, bindery or 
 bookbindery, lot, as a building lot, a house lot, a 
 wood lot. 
 
 21. The following words have senses affixed 
 to them in the United States different from 
 the senses in which they are commonly used in 
 England: baggage, balance, clever, cob, corn, 
 creek, fall, lumber, merchant, quite, spell, stage, 
 store; also the verbs to improve, to notify, to 
 girdle, to guess, to expect, &c. 
 
 22. There are some words which both Eng- 
 lish and American recent writers have used in a 
 new sense ; as, to realize, to solemnize, to tran- 
 spire; obnoxious, temper, &c. Many of the 
 neologisms which have been stigmatized as 
 American innovations or corruptions, have been 
 sanctioned by the use of English authors. The 
 adjective lengthy, and the verb to progress, with 
 the accent on the last syllable, are reputed to 
 be of American origin ; but, though they may 
 probably have originated here, yet they seem 
 to have been adopted in England; and com- 
 paratively higher authorities may be adduced in 
 support of their use from English, than from 
 American, writers. — See the words Lengthy, 
 Prooress, Clever, &c., in the Dictionary. 
 
VI.-HISTORY OF ENGLISH LEXICOGRAPHY. 
 
 1. Lexicographt is a branch of literature 
 which appears to have been but little cultivated 
 in ancient times. It is doubtful whether the 
 ancient Greeks and Romans ever wrote what 
 would be properly called dictionaries of their 
 respective languages. No such works written 
 by them are now extant ; nor is there positive 
 evidence that any such ever existed. The 
 terms lexicon and dielionarium were not in use 
 during the classic period of the Greek and 
 Roman languages ; but they are of compara- 
 tively modem introduction. Varro, who died 
 27 B. C, wrote a work entitled "2)e I/ingvA 
 Latind," which consisted of twenty-four books, 
 of which only six, and these much mutilated, 
 are now extant One of tlie books contained 
 a sort of glossary of Latin terms. ApoUonius 
 of Alexandria, commonly supposed to have lived 
 in the time of Augustus, though some suppose 
 him to have been much later, wrote a sort of 
 glossary to Homer. 
 
 2. " The oldest extant Greek lexicographer," 
 says the Penny CyclopEedia, "is ApoUonius 
 the Sophist, a contemporary of Augustus. His 
 work, entitled Ai^sig 'OfirjQi»a\, or 'Homeric 
 Words,' though much interpolated, is very use- 
 ful. AU the other original Greek lexicons and 
 glossaries we have, such as the ' Onomasticon ' 
 (or Collection of Synonymes) of Julius Pol- 
 lux, the lexicons of Suidas, Harpocration, and 
 Hesychius, and the ' Etymologicon Magnum,' 
 sometimes attributed to Marcus Musurus, al- 
 though of the authors of some of tliem the 
 exact age is disputed, were undoubtedly com- 
 piled subsequent, and most of them probably 
 long subsequent, to the commencement of the 
 Christian era. It is supposed, indeed, that they 
 were founded upon older compilations of the 
 same kind ; but of the form of those lost 
 works we know nothing. It may be reasonably 
 doubted if either the Greeks or Romans were 
 in the habit of making use of dictionaries in 
 studying a foreign language or dialect, as has 
 been the general practice in modern times." 
 
 3. The following is a brief notice of a few of 
 the earliest lexicographical works that are now 
 extant. — Julius Pollux, a native of Naucratis, 
 in Egypt, and a teacher of rhetoric at Athens, in 
 the early part of the third century of the Chris- 
 tian era, was the author of the " Onomasticon," 
 a Greek Vocabulary, divided into ten books. It 
 contains a vast variety of synonymous words and 
 phrases, arranged under general heads, but not 
 alphabetically, and it partakes more of the nature 
 of an encyclopffidia, than of a dictionary. The 
 first edition of it was printed at Venice in 1503. 
 
 4. Hesychius of Alexandria, by some stated 
 to have lived as early as the third, and by others 
 not before the fifth or sixth century, was the 
 author of a Greek lexicon or glossary, consist- 
 ing of short explanations of uncommon Greek 
 words and technical terms. The first edition of 
 it was printed at Venice in 1513. 
 
 5. Valerius Harpocration, a Greek rhetorician 
 of Alexandria, wrote a work entitled " Lexicon 
 Decern Oratorum," (" Lexicon to the Ten Ora- 
 tors,") which contains an account of many of the 
 persons and facts mentioned in the orations of 
 the ten principal orators of Athens. "We 
 have," says the Penny Cyclopaedia, " no partic- 
 ulars of his life, nor of the time in which he 
 lived." Mr. Watt styles him " an Alexandrian 
 rhetorician of tlie fourth century," and entitles' 
 his work " Lexicon in decern Shetores." It was 
 first printed at Venice in 1503. 
 
 6. Photius, patriarch of Constantinople, who 
 died in 891, was the author of the As^saiv 
 Swaymyrj, a Greek glossary or lexicon, an edi- 
 tion of which, edited by Hermann, was pub- 
 lished at Leipsic in 1808 ; and another, edited 
 by Person, was published in London in 1823. 
 
 7. Suidas, whose age and country are not 
 ascertained, but who is supposed to have lived 
 between 900 and 1025 A. D., was the author of 
 a Greek Lexicon, styled by some an " Historical 
 and Geographical Dictionary," also an " Ency- 
 clopredia." It comprises the names of men 
 and places, as well as the words which properly 
 
Ix

 belong to a dictionary. The first edition was 
 printed at Milan in 1499. 
 
 8. John Balbus, or Balbi, or John of Genoa, 
 (being a Genoese,) who died in 1998, was tlie 
 author of the " Catholicon," a Latin dictionary 
 containing between seven hundred and eight 
 hundred pages folio ; first printed at Mentz, in 
 1460, by Gutenberg. "Although this work," 
 says Watt, "contains many errors, it has the 
 singularity of being the first Latin dictionary 
 after the destruction of the language." 
 
 9. Johannes Crestonus (Placentinus,) a native 
 of Piacenza, was the author of the "Lexicon 
 Graco-Latinum," the first Greek and Latin 
 dictionary extant. The first edition, supposed 
 to liave been printed at Milan, is without date. 
 The earliest edition, with a date, was printed at 
 Vicenza in 1483. 
 
 10. Calepin, or Calepino, a native of Calepio, 
 near Bergamo, in Italy, who died in 1510, was 
 the author of the " Dictionarium," a Latin dic- 
 tionary, one of the earliest works of the kind, 
 first printed at Reggio in 1502. It went through 
 many editions, and received such additions as 
 made it almost a new work. Facciolati, assisted 
 by his pupil Egidio Forcellini, prepared and 
 published a new edition in 1731. " It was," as is 
 stated by the Penny Cyclopaedia, " in the course 
 of his joint labors with Facciolati, that Forcellini 
 conceived the plan of a totally new Latin dic- 
 tionary, which, after more than thirty years' as- 
 siduous application, he brought to light under 
 the title of ' Toiius Latinitatis Lexicon,' four 
 volumes folio, Padua, 1771. This work has 
 superseded all other Latin dictionaries." An 
 enlarged edition of this work, edited by James 
 Bailey, was published in London in 1828 ; and 
 it also formed the principal basis of the " Lexi- 
 con of the Latin Language," edited by F. P. 
 Leverett, and first published at Boston in 1836. 
 — " Cornucopia,'' " Breviloquus Vocabutarius," 
 and " Gemma Vocahvlorum atque Medulla," are 
 titles of other early lexicographical works on 
 the Latin language. 
 
 11. The earliest lexicographical labors in 
 England were performed near the end of the 
 fifteenth century ; and their object was to facili- 
 tate the study of the Latin language. The title 
 of the earliest work of the kind published in 
 that country, as given in Dr. Dibdin's " Typo- 
 graphical Antiquities," was as follows : " Promp- 
 iorius Puerorum. Promplorium Paruulorum, swe 
 Olericorum. Medulla €lrammalice." It was first 
 printed by Richard Pynson, in 1499, in folio. 
 Editions of it were printed by Wy nkyn de Worde, 
 
 in 1510, 1512, 1516, and 1528. « Richard Fraun 
 ces, a preaching or black friar," as is stated by 
 William Herbert, the typographical antiquary, 
 « was the author of tliis first English and Latin 
 dictionary, in which are many old English words 
 nowhere else explained." "This book," says 
 Dr. Dibdin, " is printed in double columns ; the 
 English before the Latin ; the nouns first, under 
 each letter of the alphabet, the verbs, adverbs, 
 &c., after them ; both nouns and verbs are de- 
 clined very particularly. The work was intend- 
 ed, as the commencement of the account of the 
 third edition of it specifies, as a companion to 
 the ' Ortm Vocahulorum,' in Latin and English." 
 
 12. In 1500 (the next year after the first pub- 
 lication of the work above noticed) was printed 
 by Wynkyn de Worde the first edition of the 
 work bearing the following title, as stated in Dr. 
 Dibdin's « Typographical Antiquities : " — " Or- 
 tus Vocabulorum: alphabetico ordinefere omnia 
 qum in Caiholico breviloquo Cornucopia Gemma 
 Vocabulorum atque Medulla Grammaiices ponurir 
 tur cum perpulcns Additoribus Ascens. et vernae- 
 uUe I/ingiuE Anglica/nm e3y)ositionem continens." 
 This is the first edition of the first Latin and 
 English dictionary, — "a work," says Dibdin, " of 
 considerable importance to grammatical antiqua- 
 ries, and the parent production of our popular 
 Latin and English Dictionary by Ainsworth." 
 Subsequent editions were printed in 1508, 1509, 
 1514, 1516, and 1518. 
 
 13. The next lexicographical work, and the 
 first entitled a dictionaiy, (dictionarium,) that was 
 published in England, was the " Dietionaritim" 
 (Latin and English) of Sir Thomas Elyot, who 
 was a distinguished scholar in the reign of 
 Henry VIII., a friend of Sir Thomas More, 
 and the author of various works. It was first 
 published in 1538 ; and the dates of other edi- 
 tions which appeared before the author's death, 
 in 1546, are as follows; 1.541, 1542, and 1545. 
 The title of the edition of 1542, as given by 
 Ames, is " Bibliotheca Eliota, Eliotis Libra- 
 rie." It was dedicated to Henry VIII. ; and the 
 following is an extract fi-om the dedication: 
 — "To the moste excellent prince, and our 
 moste redoubted souerayne lorde Kinge Henry 
 the VIII., Supreme head in erthe immediately 
 vnder Christe, of the Churche of Englande.

 suche as be, are not easy to come by : the cause 
 J nede not reherse, sens J ones declared it in 
 my booke called the ' Gouemour,' which about 
 VIII yeres passed J dydde dedicate vnto your 
 hyghnesse." 
 
 14. " This is a work," says Dr. Dibdin, " of 
 considerable ability, and deservedly held in 
 high estimation, as one of the earliest and best 
 attempts in the promotion of lexicographical 
 literature.'' After the death of Sir Thomas 
 Elyot, his Dictionary was corrected and en- 
 larged repeatedly by Thomas Cooper, " Scheie 
 maister of Maudlens in Oxforde," afterwards 
 bishop of Lincoln ; and in the edition of 1563, 
 the title was changed to " Thesaurus uUriusque 
 lAngucB LatirKB et Britannic(B ; " Cooper having, 
 according to Anthony Wood, " augmented and 
 enriched it with 33,000 words and phrases." 
 
 15. After the appearance of some smaller 
 Latin and English dictionaries, the "Alvearie, 
 or Triple Dictionarie, in English, Latin, and 
 
 French," by John Baret, a scholar of Cam- 
 bridge, was published in 1573 ; and to the 
 second edition, published in 1580, he added the 
 Greek, and entitled it the " Alvearie, or Quad- 
 ruple Dictionarie." In his address "To the 
 Reader," he gives a singular account of the 
 manner in which the " Alvearie " was formed, 
 from which the following extract is given: — 
 16. "About eighteene yeeres agone, having 
 pupils at Cambridge, studious of the Latin 
 tongue, I vsed them often to write epistles and 
 themes togither, and daily to translate some 
 peece of English into Latin, for the more 
 speedy and easie atteining of the same. And 
 after we had a little begunne, perceyuing what 
 great trouble it was to come running to mee for 
 euery word they missed, (knowing then of no 
 other Dictionarie to helpe us, but Sir Thomas 
 Eliots Librarie, which was come out a little be- 
 fore,) I appoynted them certaine leaues of the 
 same booke euery day, to write the English be- 
 fore the Latin, and likewise to gather a number 
 of fine phrases out of Cicero, Terence, CcEsccr, 
 Lime, &c. and to set them under seuerall Ty- 
 tles, for the more ready finding them againe at 
 their neede. Thus within a yeare or two they 
 had gathered togither a great volume, which (for 
 the apt similitude betweene tlie good scholers 
 and the diligent bees in gathering their wax and 
 hony into their hiue) I called then their Mue- 
 arie, both for a memorial! by whom it was made, 
 and also by this name to incourage other to the 
 like diligence, for that they should not see their 
 worthy prayse for the same unworthily drowned 
 in obliuion. Not long after, divers of our 
 friendes borrowing this our worke which we had 
 thus contriued and wrought onely for our own 
 priuate vse, often and many wayes mooued mee 
 to put it in print for the common profit of others, 
 and the publike propagation of the Latin tongue ; 
 or else to suffer them to get it printed at their 
 proper costes and charges. But I both unwill- 
 ing, and halfe ashamed to haue our rude notes 
 come abrode under the view of so many learned 
 
 eyes, die at length coming to London, 
 
 there came unto mee a printer shewing 
 
 mee Hulats Dictionarie (which before I neuer 
 sawe) and tolde me he intended to print it out 
 of hand, augmented with our notes also if I 
 woulde. But this bargaine went not forward 
 with him for divers causes Now there- 
 fore (gentle reader) looke not to finde in this 
 booke, euery thing whatsoeuer thou wouldest 
 seeke for, as though all thinges were here so 
 perfect that nothing lacked, or were possible to

 be added hereunto. But if thou mayst onely 
 here finde the most wordes that thou needest, or 
 at the least so many as no other Dictionarie yet 
 extant or made hath the like : take then, I say, 
 in good part this our simple Muemie in the mean 
 time, and giue God the praise that first moved 
 mee to set my pupils on worke thereabout, and 
 so mercifully also hath strengthened vs (thus as 
 it is) at length to atchieue and finish the same." 
 
 17. The Latin and English dictionary of Dr. 
 John Rider (an Oxford scholar, and afterwards 
 bishop of Killaloe) was published in 1589. 
 His additions, as he states, "amount to 4,000 
 words more than any one dictionarie now ex- 
 tant affords;" and, in his Preface, he says, "No 
 one dictionarie, as yet extant, hath the Eng- 
 lish before the Latine, with a full index of all 
 such Latine words as are in any common dic- 
 tionarie." Rider's Dictionary was subsequently 
 enlarged, first by Francis Holyoke, and af- 
 terwards by his son Thomas Holyoke. The 
 Latin and English dictionaries of Gouldman, 
 Coles, and Littleton, which appeared within a 
 few years of each other, passed through various 
 editions, — that of Coles, as many as eighteen ; 
 but they were all superseded by the Latin and 
 English Dictionary of Robert Ainsworth, which 
 was first published in 1736, in one volume 4to. 
 The second edition, edited by Patrick, appeared 
 in 1746, in two volumes 4to. In 1752, it was 
 published in two volumes folio ; in 1773, " a new 
 edition with great additions and amendments," by 
 Dr. Thomas Morell, appeared ; and an improved 
 edition, edited by Dr. Carey, was published, in 
 1816, in one volume 4to. " There have been," 
 as stated by Lowndes, "abridgments of this 
 ■work by Young, Thomas, Morell, and Jamieson." 
 
 18. Of the early English lexicographers, the 
 object of whose labors was to facilitate the study 
 of foreign modern languages, may be mentioned 
 Percivale, the author of a " Spanish and Eng- 
 lish Dictionary," Cotgrave, author of a " French 
 and English Dictionary," (with the English part 
 by Sherwood,) and also Minsheu, author of the 
 "Guide into the Tongues," first published in 
 1617, in eleven languages, — the English, Brit- 
 ish or Welsh, Low Dutch, High Dutch, French, 
 Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Latin, Greek, and 
 Hebrew. A new edition was published in 1627, 
 in nine languages, but with a considerable in- 
 crease in the number of radical words. " In 
 this," says Sir John Hawkins, "the author un- 
 dertakes to give the etymologies or derivations 
 of the greater part of the words therein con- 
 tained ; but, as they amount, at the most, to no 
 
 more than 14,173, the work must be deemed 
 not sufficiently copious." 
 
 19. The object of the first lexicographical 
 labors in England was to facilitate the study 
 of the Latin language, afterwards that of the 
 Greek, and also of foreign modem languages ; 
 and it was in these bilingual dictionaries, such 
 as Latin and English, and French and English, 
 that the common English words were first col- 
 lected. The early dictionaries, which were de- 
 signed for mere English readers, were very lim- 
 ited and meagre productions, thek chief object 
 being to explain what were styled the "hard 
 words " of the language. Two of the earliest 
 of these works were those of BuUokar and 
 Cockeram. The former, the " English Expos- 
 itor," by Dr. John BuUokar, was first published 
 in 1616. It passed through many editions ; and 
 the title of the edition printed at Cambridge, in 
 England, in 1688, is as follows : " An English 
 Expositour, or Compleat Dictionary ; teaching 
 the Interpretation of the hardest Words and 
 most useful Terms of Art used in our Language ; 
 first set forth by J. B., Dr. of Physick, and now 
 the eighth time revised, corrected, and very 
 much augmented." It is a little volume, 18mo., 
 and contains only 5,080 words. 
 
 20. The English Dictionary of Blount, often 
 written Blunt, was a larger work than any other 
 of the kind that preceded it; and it was soon 
 followed by a still more considerable one, that 
 of Edward Phillips, the nephew and pupil of 
 Milton. The title of Phillips's dictionary is 
 « The New World of English Words, or a Gen- 
 eral Dictionary, containing the Interpretations 
 of such hard Words as are derived from other 
 Languages, whether Hebrew, Arabick, Syriack, 
 Greek, Latin, Italian, French, Spanish, British, 
 Dutch, Saxon, &c., their Etymologies and per- 
 fect Definitions." Sir John Hawkins says of 
 this work, " ' The New World of Words,' wliich, 
 as it is much more copious than that of Blount, 
 and contains a great quantity of matter, must 
 be looked on as the basis of English lexicogra- 
 phy." Though Phillips is entitled to the credit 
 of having advanced the progress of English lex- 
 icography, yet his " World " is hardly deserving 
 of being regarded as its "basis." The first 
 edition is a small folio, of only three hundred 
 pages, containing only about 13,000 words. Of 
 these words, a large proportion are such as do 
 not properly belong to a dictionary of the Eng- 
 lish language, but rather to an encyclopsedia, 
 consisting of geographical and other proper 
 names ; and it contains but few words of genu- 
 
HISTORY OF ENGLISH LEXICOGRAPHY. 
 
 Ixiii 
 
 ine English growth ; hut the subsequent edi- 
 tions of the work were very much enlarged. 
 
 21. Phillips gives a list of the names of thirty- 
 four "learned gentlemen and artists who con- 
 tributed their assistance." He quotes from 
 another author the following remark: "A dic- 
 tionary for the English tongue would require an 
 encyclopedie of knowledge, and the concurrence 
 of many learned heads." « Such an encyclope- 
 
 dy," he says, « I present the reader with ; 
 
 a volume which the so many years' industry of 
 myself and others hath brought to such perfec- 
 tion.'' In the publisher's advertisement of the 
 work, it is thus characterized: "The so long 
 expected work. The New World of English 
 Words, or a General Dictionary, containing the 
 terms, etymologies, definitions, and perfect in- 
 terpretations of the proper significations of hard 
 English words throughout the arts and sciences, 
 liberal or mechanic, as also other subjects that 
 are useful, or appertain to the language of our 
 nation; to which is added the signification of 
 proper names, mythology and poetical fictions, 
 historical relations, geographical descriptions of 
 the countries and cities of the world, especially 
 of tliese three nations, wherein their chiefest an- 
 tiquities, battles, and other most memorable pas- 
 sages, are mentioned : a work very necessary for 
 strangers, as well as our own countrymen, — for 
 all persons that would rightly understand what 
 they discourse, write, or read." After the death 
 of the author, the sixth edition,- edited by John 
 Kersey, was published in 1706, "revised, cor- 
 rected, and improved, with the addition of near 
 20,000 words from the best authors.'' 
 
 22. Phillips's Dictionary was followed by 
 those of Coles and Kersey, which, though they 
 were printed in a much smaller form, contained 
 many more of the common words of the lan- 
 guage. Dr. Watts, in his " Art of Reading and 
 Writing English," published in 1720, thus no- 
 tices the work of Kersey : " The best dictionary 
 that I know for this purpose [spelling] is entitled 
 'A New English Dictionary,' &c., by J. K. The 
 second edition, 1713, in- smaU octavo." 
 
 23. After Kersey's, and soon after 1720, ap- 
 peared the celebrated Dictionary of Nathan Bai- 
 ley, which was the first English dictionary in 
 which an attempt was made to give a complete 
 collection of the words of the language. Mr. 
 Watt, in his "Bibliotheca Britannica," thus 
 notices this work: "Bailey's Enghsh Dictionary, 
 printed in 1728, (foiu1;h edition,) was long the 
 only one in use, and stiU continues a favorite 
 with many readers. It was afterwards enlarged 
 
 into two volumes 8vo., and some years after 
 printed in folio, with additions in the mathemat- 
 ical part by G. Gordon, in the botanical by Philip 
 Miller, and in the et3nnological by T. Lediard ; 
 the whole revised [1755] by Dr. Joseph Nicol 
 Scott, a physician. The octavo [24th edition] 
 was revised by Dr. Harwood, 1782." 
 
 24. A part of the long title of the first volume 
 of the edition of 1728 is as follows : " An Uni- 
 versal Etymological English Dictionary; com- 
 prehending the Derivations of the Generality of 
 Words in the English Tongue, either Ancient 
 or Modem, from the Ancient British, Saxon, 
 Danish, Norman and Modem French, Teutonic, 
 Dutch, Spanish, Italian ; as also from the Latin, 
 Greek, and Hebrew Languages, each in their 
 proper Characters ; and also a clear Explication 
 of all difficult Words derived from any of the 
 
 aforesaid Languages ; containing many 
 
 thousand Words more than either Harris, Phil- 
 lips, Kersey, or any English Dictionary before 
 extant." The second volume was first published 
 in 1727, as a supplement to the first ; and it con- 
 sists of two parts: — "I. An Additional Collec- 
 tion of some Thousands of Words not in the 
 former Volume. II. An Orthographical Dic- 
 tionary, showing both the Orthography and 
 Orthoepia of the English Tongue." 
 
 25. In his Preface to the first volume, Bailey 
 says, "As for the etymologkal part, or those 
 words from foreign languages, whence the Eng- 
 lish words were derived, I think I am the first 
 who has attempted it in English, except what 
 Mr. Blunt has done in his ' Glossography,' which 
 is but a very small part, and those of a Latin 
 derivation chiefly, besides a small extract of Dr. 
 Skinner's ' Etymologicon.' " In his Introduction 
 to the second volume, he remarks, "I have 
 placed an accent over that syllable on which a 
 particular stress or force of sound is to be laid 
 by the voice in pronouncing." This appears to 
 be the first instance in which any such aid to 
 pronunciation was furnished in an English dic- 
 tionary. The parts of speech were not noted in 
 this nor in any previous English dictionary. 
 
 26. This lexicographer, who was a school- 
 master at Stepney, was the author of several 
 other works, among which were the " Didiona- 
 rium DoTnesticum, or a Household Dictionary," 
 and " An Introduction to the English Tongue ; " 
 and he was the editor of several classical au- 
 thors for the use of schools. He died, as it is 
 stated in the " Gentleman's Magazine," in 1742. 
 The following remarks are extracted from the 
 Encyclopsedia Perthensis:" "It is somewhat 
 
Ixiv

 surprising that, though this work [Bailey's Dic- 
 tionary] is universally known, having gone 
 through at least twenty-six editions since the 
 first edition, dedicated in Latin to Frederick 
 Prince of Wales, and his royal sisters, (his 
 majesty's [George III.] father and aunts,) was 
 published, yet no account whatever has hith- 
 erto heen given of the learned and laborious 
 author, who excelled Dr. Johnson himself, in 
 industry at least, by introducing a far greater 
 number of words, in his small work of one vol- 
 ume 8vo., than the Doctor has inserted in both 
 his volumes folio. We have searched in vain 
 for an account of this learned lexicographer.'' — 
 In reference to the above comparison of the 
 number of words found in the dictionaries of 
 Bailey and Johnson, it may be remarked, that 
 Johnson omitted many words that are in Bailey's 
 Dictionary, because they were not in use ; but 
 he inserted many not found in it. He speaks 
 of "the deficiencies of dictionaries," with re- 
 spect to the number of words, and says, he 
 "has much augmented the vocabulary." 
 
 27. Dyche's Dictionary, a work in one vol- 
 ume 8vo., "originally begun by the Rev. 
 Thomas Dyche, and finished by William Par- 
 don," has had an extensive circulation in Eng- 
 land. The seventh edition was published in 
 1752, and the sixteenth in 1777. This state- 
 ment seems hardly consistent with the remark 
 of Watt, above quoted, that Bailey's Dictionary 
 " was long the only one in use." 
 
 28. Benjamin Martin, an ingenious man, and 
 the author of several publications on scientific 
 and philosophical subjects, published a diction- 
 ary of considerable merit. The first edition 
 was printed in 1749 ; the second, in 1754. 
 
 29. In 1747, Dr. Johnson published a "Plan 
 for a Dictionary of the English Language," ad- 
 dressed to the Earl of Chesterfield ; and soon 
 afterwards he made a contract with some emi- 
 nent London booksellers for performing the labor 
 of preparing the work, for the sum of £1,575. 
 
 30. The following account of his method of 
 proceeding is given by Sir John Hawkins : " He 
 had, for the purpose of carrying on this arduous 
 work, and being near the printers employed in 
 it, taken a handsome house in Gough Square, 
 and fitted up a room in it with desks and other 
 accommodations for amanuenses, whom, to the 
 number of five or six, he kept constantly under 
 his eye. An interleaved copy of Bailey's Dic- 
 tionary in folio, he made the repository of the 
 several articles, and these he collected by inces- 
 sant reading the best authors in our language, 
 
 in the practice whereof his method was to score 
 with a black-lead pencil the words by him se- 
 lected, and give them over to his assistants to 
 insert in their places. The books he used for 
 this purpose were what he had in his own col- 
 lection, a copious but a miserably ragged one, 
 and all such as he could borrow ; which latter, 
 if ever they came back to those that lent them, 
 were so defaced as to be scarce worth owning ; 
 and yet some of his friends were glad to receive 
 and entertain them as curiosities." 
 
 31. Johnson completed his task, after seven 
 years' arduous labor, in 1755 ; and it is justly 
 regarded as one of the greatest literary achieve- 
 ments ever performed by any man, within the 
 same space of time. In a notice of the work 
 in the " Gentleman's Magazine " for April, 1755, 
 just after its publication, the following language 
 is used: "Let not any one attempt to withhold 
 the honor which is due to him who alone has 
 effected, in seven years, what the joint labor 
 of forty academicians could not produce in a 
 neighboring nation in less tlian half a century." 
 
 32. The publication of this Dictionary formed 
 a greater era in the history of the language than 
 that of any other work. No other dictionary 
 has had so much influence in fixing the exter- 
 nal form of the language, and ascertaining and 
 settling the meaning and proper use of words. 
 Johnson was the first to introduce into English 
 lexicography the method of illustrating the dif- 
 ferent significations of words by examples from 
 the best writers ; and his Dictionary, from the 
 time of its first publication, has been, far more 
 than any other, regarded as a standard for the 
 language. It has formed substantially the basis 
 of many smaller works, and, as Walker remarks, 
 it " has been deemed lawful plunder by every 
 subsequent lexicographer." 
 
 33. The next year after the publication of his 
 Dictionary, Johnson prepared the octavo abridg- 
 ment; and he revised the large work for the 
 edition of 1773, without, however, making great 
 additions or alterations. Supplements to it, by 
 Mason, Seager, and Jodrell, have been published 
 in a separate form. 
 
 34. In 1814, an edition of Johnson's Dic- 
 tionary, with numerous corrections, and with 
 the addition of about 14,000 words, by the Rev. 
 Henry John Todd, was published ; and, in 1827, 
 there was a second edition, with the addition 
 of about one thousand more words, by Mr. 
 Todd. The words added by Mr. Todd, in his 
 first edition, were mostly derived from the early 
 English writers; and a considerable part of

 them are obsolete ; and of those added in his 
 second edition, a large proportion are provincial 
 or local words, some of them hajdly -worthy of 
 a place in a dictionary of the English lan- 
 guage. 
 
 35. The merits of Johnson's Dictionary have 
 been by some exaggerated, and by others un- 
 derrated. But though many defects have been 
 pointed out, yet no one of his countrymen has 
 yet produced a work that has superseded it 
 It would be unreasonable to expect, from the 
 labor of seven years, a work for which " a whole 
 life would be insufficient." If it had been per- 
 fectly adapted to the language at the time of its 
 first publication, it would be very defective now. 
 Many changes have taken place in the language 
 within the last century, and there has been 
 a vast influx of new words from the various 
 departments of the arts and sciences. In rela- 
 tion to these matters this Dictionary was not de- 
 signed to treat largely ; and the scientific terms 
 which it contains generally need to be defined 
 anew, and a great many new ones need to be 
 added; but in these departments Mr. Todd 
 made few improvements or additions. 
 
 36. The « Penny Cyclopaedia " speaks of the 
 work as follows : " Johnson's Dictionary has 
 been accounted the standard work of its class 
 since its appearance in 1755 ; but, although it 
 was a great achievement for an individual, and 
 its definitions, in particular, aflbrd remarkable 
 evidence of its author's ingenuity and command 
 of expression, it is, in many respects, as far as 
 possible from being what a dictionary should be. 
 Its etymological part (as Home Tooke has long 
 ago shown) is little better than so much rubbish ; 
 and it is characterized throughout by a total 
 want of method and philosophical views. Some 
 valuable matter has been added by the Rev. 
 Mr. Todd; but the philosophical character of 
 the work has received no improvement in his 
 hands." 
 
 37. Since the first publication of Johnson's 
 Dictionary, many other English dictionaries, of 
 various degrees of merit, have appeared in Eng- 
 land, the titles, dates, and names of the authors 
 of which may be seen in the following Catalogue ; 
 but they cannot, all of them, be here particularly 
 noticed. The most considerable of these works 
 is Mr. Richardson's "New Dictionary of the 
 English Language," published in 1838. This 
 is an elaborate work, which indicates an exten- 
 sive and laborious research into the early and 
 almost forgotten productions of English litera- 
 ture ; and it is highly valuable and interesting 
 
 (9) 
 
 to one who is desirous of studying the history 
 of the English language, though it is little 
 adapted to popular use for the common pur- 
 poses of a dictionary. 
 
 38. The greatest and most important work on 
 English lexicography, that has appeared since 
 the first publication of Johnson's Dictionary, is 
 the production of the American writer, Noah 
 Webster, LL. D., entitled " An American Dic- 
 tionary of the English Language ; " the first edi- 
 tion of which was published in 1828, in two 
 volumes 4to. It is a work of great learning and 
 research, comprising a much more full vocabu- 
 lary of the language than Johnson's Dictionary, 
 and containing many and great improvementa 
 with respect both to the etymology and defini- 
 tions of words ; but the taste and judgment of 
 the author are not generally esteemed equal to 
 his industry and erudition. 
 
 ENGLISH ORTHOEPISTS. 
 
 39. But little attention was bestowed upon 
 orthoepy, by English lexicographers, till after 
 the first publication of Johnson's Dictionary. 
 Since that time, many dictionaries have been 
 published in which the pronunciation of the lan- 
 guage has been made the principal object One 
 of the first works of this sort was the Dictionary 
 of Dr. Kenrick, in a large quarto volume, pub- 
 lished in 1773. This was followed, in 1775, by 
 Perry's « Royal Standard English Dictionary," a 
 small work, which had an extensive circulation, 
 both in Great Britain and in the United States. 
 " The Synonymous, Etymological, and Pronoun- 
 cing English Dictionary," a much larger work, 
 by the same author, in royal octavo, was pub- 
 lished in 1805. — This latter is the work of Perry 
 which is referred to by the abbreviation P. in 
 this Dictionary. 
 
 40. In 1780, Thomas Sheridan, a native of 
 Ireland, who had been an actor of some note 
 upon the stage, and was a distinguished lecturer 
 on elocution in London, at Oxford, Cambridge, 
 and elsewhere, published his "Complete Dic- 
 tionary of the English Language, both with Re- 
 gard to Sound and Meaning, one main Object 
 of which is to establish a plain and permanent 
 Standard of Pronunciation." This work com- 
 manded much more attention, as a pronouncing 
 dictionary, than any other of the kind that pre- 
 ceded it 
 
 41. In 1784, the Rev. Robert Nares, after- 
 wards archdeacon of Stafford, and one of the 
 
 (F*)

 HISTORY OF ENGLISH LEXICOGRAPHY. 
 
 first editors of the "British Critic," published the 
 •'Elements of Orthoepy, containing a distinct 
 View of the whole Analogy of the English Lan- 
 guage, so far as it relates to Pronunciation, Ac- 
 cent, and Quantity." This is a judicious and 
 valuable work, though not in the form of a dic- 
 tionary. 
 
 42. In 1791 appeared the first edition of the 
 celebrated Dictionary of John Walker, entitled 
 "A Critical Pronouncing Dictionary and Ex- 
 positor of the English Language ; in which not 
 only the Meaning of every Word is clearly ex- 
 plained, and the Sound of every Syllable dis- 
 tinctly shown, but where Words are subject to 
 different Pronuncia^ons, the Authorities of our 
 best Pronouncing Dictionaries are fully exhibit- 
 ed, the Reasons for each are at large displayed, 
 and the preferable Pronunciation is pointed out ; 
 — to which are prefixed Principles of English 
 Pronunciation." The author had previously 
 published a valuable work, entitled " A Rhym- 
 ing Dictionary ; in which the whole Language is 
 arranged according to its Terminations." And 
 he afterwards, in 1798, published his " Key to 
 the Classical Pronunciation of Greek, Latin, and 
 Scripture Proper Names." 
 
 43. In the preparation of his Dictionary, 
 Walker made pronunciation his leading object ; 
 and for this it is chiefly valued. His design 
 was, as he expresses it, "principally to give a 
 kind of history of pronunciation, and to register 
 its present state." His Dictionary has been very 
 extensively circulated both in Great Britain and 
 the United States. " It has been," as the Penny 
 Cyclopffidia states, " eminently successful, hav- 
 ing gone through between twenty and thirty 
 editions, and having superseded all other pre- 
 vious works of the same nature." Walker was 
 long a distinguished teacher of elocution in 
 London, was a careful observer, and favorably 
 situated to become acquainted with the best 
 usage. No other Englishman, probably, ever 
 gave a longer, more laborious, and thorough 
 attention to the subject of orthoepy than he, and 
 no other ever obtained so high and widely ex- 
 tended a reputation as an orthoepist* In mod- 
 
 * Walker's employment, as a teacher of elocution, 
 was among the higher classes and best educated 
 people of England. The following testimony to his 
 merit, from the eminent statesman and orator Ed- 
 mund Burke, is found in " Prior's Life of Burke." 
 "One of the persons who particularly solicited Mr. 
 Burke's exertions on this occasion was Mr., or (as he 
 was commonly termed) Elocution Walker, author of 
 the 'Pronouncing Dictionary,' and other works of 
 
 ern English literature. Walker holds a similar 
 rank, as an orthoepist, to that of Johnson as a 
 lexicographer. Their labors have been, in sev- 
 eral dictionaries, blended together; and their 
 names are, in a manner, proverbially associated 
 with each other, as being each the first in his 
 respective department, — Johnson for the au- 
 thority and signification of words, and Walker 
 for their pronunciation. 
 
 44. Since the first appearance of Walker's 
 Dictionary, various other pronouncing dictiona- 
 ries have been published in England, the major- 
 ity of them smaller works, designed especially 
 for the use of schools. In pronunciation, fashion 
 is changeable, as well as in other things ; and 
 though Walker may be esteemed the best guide 
 for ascertaining what was the pronunciation of the 
 language at the beginning of the present cen- 
 tury, yet a considerable change has taken place 
 since his time, and on this account, some of the 
 more recent orthoepists may, in some cases at 
 least, be looked upon as better guides, in rela- 
 tion to present usage, than Walker. 
 
 45. Of the dictionaries which have been pub- 
 lished in London since the first appearance of 
 Walker's, the one which evinces much the most 
 investigation of the subject of orthoepy, is that 
 of Mr. B. H. Smart, entitled " A New Critical 
 Pronouncing Dictionary of the English Lan- 
 guage, adapted to the present State of Litera- 
 ture and Science," published in 1836. The 
 same work, reduced in size, entitled "Smart's 
 Pronouncing Dictionary of the English Lan- 
 guage epitomized," was published in 1840. To 
 the title of this Dictionary is prefixed " Walker 
 Remodelled ; " though it is more of an original 
 work than most English dictionaries; and the 
 author has introduced, as he states, "some 
 twenty thousand words not found in Walker." 
 "With changes," he remarks, "that extended to 
 every part of the Dictionary, it is plain that the 
 altered work was mine, not Walker's. The 
 title ' Walker Remodelled,' which the proprie- 
 tors chose to give it, had, in fact, no other foun- 
 dation than the original purpose for which they 
 had engaged me." 
 
 merit, and who had given lessons in the art to young 
 
 Burke Mr. Burke, one day, in the vicinity of 
 
 the House of Commons, introduced him to a noble- 
 man, accidentally passing, with the following charac- 
 teristic exordium : ' Here, my Lord Berkeley, is Mr. 
 Walker, whom not to know, by name at least, would 
 argue a want of knowledge of the harmonies, ca- 
 dences, and proprieties of our language.' "

 46. The following remarks are extracted from 
 Mr. Smart's Preface : " Walker's Dictionary, in 
 reality a transcript of Johnson's, with the addi- 
 tion of the current pronunciation affixed to each 
 word, and the omission of the etymologies and 
 authorities, supplied for many years all that was 
 demanded in a dictionary of its kind. But the 
 fifty or sixty years which have elapsed since its 
 first publication, have produced changes in sci- 
 ence, in opinions, in habits of thought, greater, 
 perhaps, than any similar space of time in any 
 past age has witnessed ; changes that have ma- 
 terially afiected our language, and rendered aU 
 dictionaries in some degree obsolete, that fairly 
 reflected its extent and application only forty 
 years ago. The proprietors of Walker's Dic- 
 tionary, finding it would slide entirely out of 
 use unless it were adapted to the present day, 
 engaged me, as a teacher of elocution, known 
 in London since Walker's decease, to make the 
 necessary changes. They believed that they 
 imposed no greater task upon me than the in- 
 sertion of new words, and the revision through- 
 out of Walker's pronunciation ; but I soon found. 
 
 tliat, with any chance of success, much greater 
 innovations must be attempted Dis- 
 posed, on general points, to think entirely with 
 my predecessor, I have not had any very exten- 
 sive occasion for differing from him in particu- 
 lars ; but some occasions have occurred, as 
 might be expected, irom the distance between 
 his day and mine. In short, I pretend to reflect 
 the oral usage of English, such as it is at pres- 
 ent, among the sensible and well-educated in 
 the British metropolis I am a Lon- 
 doner, have lived nearly all my life in London, 
 and have been able to observe the usage of all 
 classes. As a teacher of the English language 
 and literature, I have been admitted into some 
 of the first families of the kingdom ; as one 
 partial to books, I have come much into contact 
 with bookish men ; while, as a public reader and 
 lecturer, I have been obliged to fashion my own 
 pronunciation to the taste of the day. Thus 
 prepared, I may not unwarrantably believe that 
 my opinion may have some value with those 
 who seek the opinion of another to regulate 
 their pronunciation." — See p. xxii. 
 
 A CATALOGUE OF ENGLISH DICTIONARIES. 
 
 The first part of the following Catalogue com- 
 prises not only dictionaries of English words, or 
 of the English language, but also many bilingual 
 dictionaries ; that is, dictionaries containing a 
 vocabulary not only of the English but also of 
 some other languages, ancient or modern, as 
 English and Latin, English and French, &c., — 
 dictionaries which were written for the purpose 
 of facilitating the study of ancient languages and 
 of foreign modem languages. All the earlier 
 lexicographical labors in England were spent on 
 works of thia sort No attempt has been made 
 to exhibit here a complete list of these bilingual 
 dictionaries, except in the earlier part of the 
 period embraced in the Catalogue. 
 
 Within a century past, a great many dic- 
 tionaries have been published in England, and 
 a considerable number also in the United States, 
 for the purpose of facilitating the study of sev- 
 eral ancient, and of numerous modem lan- 
 guages. A few of these, that are particularly 
 connected with English literature, are included 
 in the following Catalogue; but the most of 
 them are entirely omitted. 
 
 There are many points relating to English 
 lexicography that are not easily ascertained. 
 Many of the dictionaries have had their titles 
 changed from those which were given them in 
 the first edition ; many of them have been 
 much altered by the labor of subsequent editors ; 
 with respect to some, it is not easy to Eiscertain 
 the date of the flirst edition ; and some have un- 
 doubtedly been published which have passed 
 into oblivion, and are now entirely unknown. 
 
 It is not easy to form an unexceptionable 
 classification of dictionaries ; and there are 
 some respecting which it is difiicult to deter- 
 mine to what class they most properly belong. 
 The list of the dictionaries of the various arts 
 and sciences, contained in the following Cata- 
 logue, is not complete. The object has been 
 to insert all the most important ones; though 
 there are, doubtless, some that are omitted more 
 important than some that are inserted. Dic- 
 tionaries of facts, comprising biography, geogra- 
 phy, history, mythology, &c., also most of the 
 glossaries to individual authors, are intentionally 
 omitted.

 treat particularly of this word, regard it as properly used 
 only in the plural; as is the fact with respect to the lexi- 
 cographers Johnson and Walker, and the grammarians 
 Lowth, Murray, Allen, Crombie, and Hiley. Dr. Web- 
 ster and some other grammarians, however, regard it as 
 properly used in both numbers. There are respectable 
 authorities for using it in the singular ; as, " like a bel- 
 lowsj" Dryden: — "the common bellows is formed," &c. 
 FVaTicis^s Dictionary of the Arts and Sciences; — " eac?L bel- 
 lows," P. Cyc. Smart says, " Though generally consid- 
 ered as plural, some authors join it to a verb singular; 
 and this will justify the pronunciation bel'lus." — Walk- 
 er remarks that "the last syllable of tliis word, like that 
 of g-oZZows, is corrupted beyond recovery into Z«s." — As a 
 plural noun, it would be analogically pronounced bel'loz.

 ''Chemistry," as defined by Dr. Black, "is the study of 
 the effects of heat and mixture, with a view of discover- 
 ing their general and subordinate laws, and of improving 
 the useful arts;" or, as defined by Brande, "it is that 
 branch of natural knowledge which teaches us the prop- 
 erties of elementary substances, and of their mutual com- 
 binations ; it inquires into the laws which effect, and into 
 the powers which preside over, their union ; it examines 
 the proportions in which they combine, and the modes 
 of separating them when combined ; and endeavors to 
 apply such knowledge to the explication of natural phe- 
 nomena, and to useful purposes in the arts of life."

 '"'^ 55" Johnson, after giving the above definitions of 
 dever, adds, ** This is a low word, scarcely ever used but 
 in burlesque or conversation ; and applied to any thing a 
 man likes, without any settled meaning." It is, howev- 
 er, an old word in the language, and used by the best 
 English authors ; but it is used in somewhat different 
 senses in different parts of England. Colea (1677) defines 
 it "neat, smooth, dexterous;" Bailey, "skilful, inge- 
 nious, neat-handeil, well-shaped ;" Forby, " dexterous, 
 adroit;" and Ray^ " neat, elegant." — " In either sense," 
 
 says Forby, " it is so very common and general, and ap- 
 pears so to have been for many years, that it seems dim- 
 cult to conceive how Sir Thomas Browne should have 
 been struck with it as a provincialism ; and still more, 
 how Ray, long afterwards, should have let it pass as such, 
 u'ithout any remark. A colloquial and familiar term it 
 certainly is ; but assuredly not provincial, nor even low." 
 In the United States, clever is much used as a colloqui- 
 al word, in the sense of good-natured, well-disposed, hon- 
 est; and the phrase, " clever man," or " clever fellow," is 
 employed to denote a person of ^ood nature^ good dis- 
 position, or good intentions ; but it is otherwise in Eng- 
 land. — "When a man," says Bishop Home, "takes it 
 Into his head to do mischief, the public has always reason 
 to lament his being a clever fellow.'*

 TfCr " There are such considerable authorities for each 
 of these pronunciations as render a decision on that 
 ground somewhat difficult. Dr. Johnson, Dr. Ash, Dr. 
 Kenrick, Mr. Perry, Buchanan, and Bailey, place the 
 accent on the second syllable; and Mr. Nares, W. 
 Johnston, and Entick, accent the first. Mr. Sheridan 
 and Mr. Scott place it on both, and consequently leave 
 it undecided. Since authorities are so equal, and anal- 
 ogy so precarious, usage must be the umpire ; and my 
 observation fails me, if that which may be called the 
 best usage does not decide in favor of the accent on the 
 first syllable." Walker. Of the above authorities included

 3)5= "■ An uneducated English speaker is very apt to pro- 
 nounce this word with the accent on the first syllable, 
 according to the analogy of his own language ; but a 
 learned ear would be as much shocked at such a depart- 
 ure from classical propriety, as in the words sonorous and 
 canorous. When once the mere English scholar is set 
 right in this word, he will be sure to pronounce dedeco- 
 rous with the accent on the penultimate likewise ; and 
 when he is told that this is wrong, because that syllable 
 in the Latin word is short, he will not fail to pronounce 
 indecorous with the antepenultimate accent ; but what 
 will be his surprise, when he is informed that this too is 
 wrong, because the penultimate syllable in Latin is long V 
 Walker. See Indecorous.

 OCT " When the accent, either primary or secondary, is 
 on this inseparable preposition, the e is always sharp and 
 hissing ; but when the accent is on the second syllable, 
 the* will be either hissing or buzzing, according to the 
 nature of the consecutive letter. That is, if a sharp mute, 
 as p, (, k, or c hard, succeed, the preceding s must be pro- 
 nounced sharp and hissing ; as, dispose, distaste, Sec. ; but 
 if a flat mute, as 6, d, or g hard, or a vowel or a liquid, 
 begin the next syllable, the foregoing s must be sounded 
 like z I as, disbur^ie, disdain, &c. ; but if the secondary ac- 
 cent be on this inseparable preposition, as in disbelief, &,c., 
 the 8 retains its pure hissing sound." Walker.

 QCf The following words, abridgment^ aclmowUdgmmt, 
 and judgment, are to be found, with the orthography 
 here given, in the English dictionaries which preceded 
 the publication of Mr. Todd's improved edition of Dr. 
 Johnson's Dictionary. Todd altered Johnson's orthog- 
 raphy of these words, by the insertion of an e, thus, 
 abridgement^ acknowledgement, judgement; and he re- 
 marks, "Several authors have revived this orthogra- 
 phy, retaining the e to soften, as Lowth observes on 
 judgement, the preceding g, and aa Johnson himself 
 analogically writes lodgement." 
 
 The English dictionaries of Jameson and Smart, 
 which have appeared since the publication of Todd's 
 edition of Johnson, also retain the e ; and Smart remarks, 
 in relation to the three words in question, that " Todd 
 restores the e in order that they may not exhibit the oth- 
 wise unexampled irregularity of g soft before a conso- 
 nant-" and he " adopts the more correct, however less 
 usual spelling." Many respectable writers now insert 
 the c in these words. The omission of it, however, has 
 been hitherto, and still continues to be, the prevailing 
 
 JUJVI 
 
 usage ; but it is perhaps not very improbable that the 
 usage may yet be changed, and the more consistent or- 
 thoeraphy be generally adopted,

 thirty years ago, [i. e. 1770,] tbis was the general pro- 
 nunciation ; but since that time the sound of a has been 
 gradually wearing away ; and the sound of e is so fully 
 established, that the former is now become gross and 
 vulgar, and is only to be heard among the lower orders

 — an unmarried female kept in concubinage ; a kept-mis- 
 tress. [" Miss, at the beginning of the last century, was 
 appropriated to the daughters of gentlemen under the age 
 o ten. Mistress was then the style of grown-up unmar- 
 ried ladiea, though the mother was living; and, for a 
 considerable part of the century, maintained its ground 
 against the infantine term of Miss." —Todd.] See Mis- 
 tress. 
 
 J)5= With respect to the use of this title, when two or 
 more persons of the same name are spoken of or ad- 
 dressed, there is a good deal of diversity. Some give the 
 plural form to the Tuime ; as, " The Miss Smitlis ; " —others, 
 to the title; as, "The Misses Smith." In conversation, 
 the former prevails ; in written or printed composition, 
 usage is divided ; and in addressing letters^ the latter ia 
 the more common. The following authorities are given 
 in favor of the former mode, as used in composition : — 
 "The Miss Cotterels." James JiTorthcote; James Boswell. 
 " The Miss Wilkinsons." Ed. Malone. " The Miss 
 Penns." Richard Rush. " The Miss Porters." Eclectic 
 Review. "The two Miss Smiths." Chambers's Journal. 
 — The following are in favor of the latter form: — "The 
 Misses More." Bp. Some. " The two Misses Porter." 
 Sir Err. Brydges. " The Misses Porter." Charles Lamb. 
 "The Misses Gosset." Sir Robert Peel. — Those gram- 
 marians, who treat of the subject, generally favor the for- 
 mer mode, (Miss Smiths;) though some make an excep- 
 tion in addressing letters. — " ' The Miss Smiths * — much 
 preferable to * The Misses Smith.' " Grant's Grammar. 
 
 The following remarks are quoted from Dr. Crombie's 
 Grammar : " Two or more substantives in concordance, 
 and forming one complex name, or a name and title, have 
 the plural termination annexed to the last only; as, ' The 
 two Miss Louisa Sowards,' * The two Miss JftomsoTw.' 
 Analogy, Br. Priestley observes, would plead in favor of 
 another construction, and lead us to say, * TTie two Misses 
 Thomson^' • The two Misses Louisa Soward;' for if the 
 ellipsis were supplied, we should say, 'The two young 
 ladies of the name of Thomson,' and this construction, 
 he adds, he has somewhere met with. The latter form 
 of expression, it is true, occasionally occurs ; but general 
 usage, and. I am rather inclined to think, analogy like- 
 wise, decide in favor of the former ; for, with a few ex- 
 ceptions, and these not parallel to the examples now giv- 
 en, we almost uniformly, in complex names, confine 
 the inflection to the last substantive. — We say, indeed, 
 ' Messrs. Thomson ; * but we seldom or never say, * The 
 two Messrs. Thomson,' but ' The two Mr. Thomsons.' " 
 Hiley, in his Grammar, says, "In conversation the 
 plural termination is annexed to the last noun only. But 
 in composition and addressing letters to individuals of 
 the same name, we pluralize the title; as, ' To the Misses 
 Howard;' *To JlfessT-s. Thomaon.' But both in conver- 
 aation and in composition we pluralize only the name of 
 married ladies ; as, ' Mja. Wilsons were there ; ' * To Mrs. 
 Sowards.' " — Thus also Dr. Watts : — " May there not be 
 Sir Isaac JVewtons in every science.'' — You must not sup- 
 pose the world is made up of Lady Aurora Granvilles." 
 Miss, v. a. [i. missed ; pp. missing, missed.] To fail of hit- 
 ting, reaching, finding, or obtaining ; to mistake ; to omit ; 
 to perceive want of. — To miss stays, (JVaut.) to fail to 
 come up in the direction of the wind, as the head of a 
 ship.

 an adverb, and by the other English lexicographers, it is 
 designated, in all the forms in which it is used, as a 
 conjunction. — Dr. Johnson remarks upon it as follows: 
 '* This word, though, in conformity to other writers, called 
 here a conmncUon^ is properly a participial adjective, as it is 
 compounded of n^t and withstanding, and answers ex- 
 actly to the Latin non obstante. It is most properly and 
 analogically used in the ablative case absolute, with a 
 noun; as, 'He is rich notwithstanding his loss.' " — 'Dr. 
 Webster considers notwithstanding, in all cases, as a par- 
 ticiple, ** constituting, either with or without this or that, 
 the case absolute or independent." It obviously has 
 the nature of a participle, rather than of a participial ad- 
 jective. In the above example, " He is rich notwithstand- 
 ing his loss," notwiikstandingTazy be regarded as a preposi- 
 tion governing loss in the objective case; or it maybe 
 construed as ^participle in the case absolute with loss.

 making the first syllable of pr^ecilong, I cannot follow 
 them so implicitly in the accent and quantity of this 
 word. All [i- e. who preceded Walker] but Mr. Sher- 
 idan, W. Jonnston, and Mr. Perry, place the accent on 
 the second syllable ; and the two first of these writers 
 make the first syllable long, as in prtfect. Mr. Perry, 
 alone, has, in my opinion, given this word its true pro- 
 nunciation, by placing the accent on the first syllable, 
 and making that syllable short. This is agreeable to that 
 general tendency of our language to an antepenultimate 
 accentuation, with a short quantity on every vowel 
 but u." Walker.

 Vv. Johnston, and Entick, make the first syllable of this 
 word short, as I have done ; and Mr. Perry and Buchan- 
 an make it long. In defence of the first pronunciation, 
 it may be observed, that this word is not like primacy 
 and primary ; the first of which is a formative of our 
 own ; and the second derived from the Latin primariusj 
 which, in our pronunciation of the Latin, does not short- 
 en the i in the first syllable, aa privativus does ; and there- 
 fore these words are no rule for the pronunciation of this, 
 which, besides the general tendency of the penultimate 
 accent to shorten every vowel it falls on but m, seems to 
 have another claim to the short, vowel from its termina- 
 tion ; thus sanative^ dojiativej primitive^ derivative^ &,c., all 
 plead for the short sound." Walker.

 PRP~0-R£SS',* v. n, [l, PROGRESSED ; pp. PROGRESSING, PRO- 
 GRESSED.] To make pr^ress ; to advance ; to proceed ; 
 to move forward. J)0-The verb prog'ress, with the ac- 
 cent on the first syllable, is found in Shakspeare ; and 
 Dr. Johnson inserted it in his Dictionary, noted as " not 
 in use." The word is also found in Milton, used in an 
 active sense; as, "to progress a circle;" in this sense, 
 however, It ia entirely obsolete. But the neuter verb 
 progress', with the accent on the second syllable, is of 
 modern origin or revival; and it has generally been 
 regarded as an Americanism. It often occurs, both in 
 conversation and in published writings, though a great 
 part of our best writers forbear the use of it. It has of late 
 been much used in England, and by writers of high 
 respectability. Among the numerous English authorities 
 that may be brought forward for the use of it, are the 
 following: — Sir Robert Peel, O'Connell, Coleridge, 
 Dick, Hood, Bulwer, Dickens, the British Critic, the 
 Edinburgh Review, the (Quarterly Review, the Monthly 
 Review, the Eclectic Review, the Dublin Review, the 
 Gentleman's Magazine, the Christian Observer, and the 
 Penny Gyclopsdia ; and it is also inserted in the late 
 English Dictionaries of Maunder, Knowles, Smart, and 
 Reid.

 a'shun, TV. J. E. F.Ja.; pro-nun-sha'siiyn, S. ; prp-nun- 
 B?-a'shyn, P. K. Sm.'] n. i pronunciatio, L.] Act of pro- 
 nouncing; mode of pronouncing; utterance; delivery 
 of a discourse. JKT "This word is regularly pronounced 
 prfl-nfin-sh^-a'shun, and by all speakers would probably 
 be so sounded if it were related to any such verb aa to 
 pronunciate, in the same way as association and enuticia^ 
 tion are related to associate and enunciate. In the absence 
 of any such related verb, most speakers say prp-nun-se- 
 a'shun, and so avoid the double occurrence of the sound 
 of sh in the same word." Smart. Walker says, '^ The 
 very same reasons that oblige us to pronounce partiaiity, 
 pi-opitiation, speciality, &c., as if written parsheality, pro- 
 pisheashun, spesheality, &c., oblige ua to pronounce pro- 
 nunciation as if written pronunsheashun,''^ 
 
 The majority of the authorities above given are in fa- 
 vor of the sound of sh ; and the Rev. Dr. N. H. Wheaton 
 says, in his " Travels in England," " I was a little morti- 
 fied at having my Yankee origin detected, by my omitting 
 to give the full sound of sh in the word pronunciation."

 is denoted by placing the quantities thus, 6 : 3 : : S4 : 12, 
 and is read, as 6 is to 3, so is 24 to 12. This, because 
 three of the numbers are usually given to find a fourth, 
 is often called the Rule qf Tltrecy and divided into direct 
 and inverse. In direct proportiouy the second term, if 
 greater or less than the first, requires the fourth to be, 
 in like manner, greater or less than the third, as in the 
 above example. In inverse proportion^ more requires 
 less, and less requires more.

 ft5" " We must not suppose this word to be the ofl'spring 
 ofthe English word to rail, however nearly they may be 
 sometimes allied in practice. Raillery comes directly 
 from the French word raUlerie; and, in compliment to 
 that language for the assistance it so often affords us, 
 we pronounce the first syllable nearly as in the original. 
 This, however, is not a mere compliment, like the gen- 
 erality of those we pay the French ; for, were we to pro- 
 nounce the first syllable like rail, it might obscure and 
 pervert the meaning. Mr. Sheridan, Mr. Scott, Dr. Ken- 
 rick, Mr. Nares, W. Johnston, Mr. Perry, and Mr. Smith, 
 pronounce it as I have marked it." WiMer.

 RXth'jer, [rath'er, S. P. J. E. F. R. Wb. ,- rSitt'er or ra'ther, 
 W. ; ra.'ther, Jo. K. Sm.] ad. [Originally the comp. from 
 Ratk.'] More willingly ; preferably to the other ; with bet- 
 ter reason; in preference; more properly ; especially. — 
 To have rather^ to desire in preference. Sbf *' Dr. John- 
 son tells us that this word is the comparative of rath, a 
 Saxon word signifying soon, and that it still retains its 
 original signification ; as we may say, * I would sooner do 
 a thing,* with as much propriety as *I would ratlter do 
 it.' Some very respectable speakers pronounce this word 
 with the first syllable like that in ra-ven ; and Mr. Nares 
 has adopted this pronunciation. Dr. Ash and Bailey seem 
 to be of the same opinion ; but all the other orthoe'pists, 
 from whom we can certainly know the quantity of the 
 Towel, as Mr. Sheridan, Mr. Blphinstone, Mjr. Scott, Dr. 
 Kenrick, W. Johnston, Mr. Perry, Buchanan, and Entick, 
 make it short. ^There is a pronunciation of this, and 
 some few other words, which may not improperly be 
 called diminutive. Thus, in familiar conversation, when 
 we wish to express very little, we sometimes lengthen the 
 vowel, and pronounce the word as if written leetle. In 
 the same manner, when raOter si^i^es^jtist preferable, we 
 lengthen the first vowel, and pronounce it long and slen- 
 der, as if written rayther; and this, perhaps, may be the 
 reason that the long, slender sound of the vowel has so 
 much obtained ; for usage seems to be clearly on the 
 side of the other pronunciation, and analogy requires it, 
 as this word is but the old comparative of the word rath, 
 soon." Walker.

 {jzCr "Dr. Johnson, Dr. Ash, Dr. Kenrick, Mr. Barclay, 
 Mr. Nares, Mr. Scott, Mr. Fry, and Entick, accent this 
 word on the second syllable ; Mr. Sheridan and Bailey on 
 the last ; and Fenning, only, on the tirst. But, notwith- 
 standing so many authorities are against me, I am much 
 deceived if the analogy of pronunciation be not decided- 
 ly in favor of that accentuation which I have given. We 
 have but few instances in the language where we receive 
 a word from the Latin, by droppmg a syllable, that we 
 do not remove the accent higher than the original. Thus 
 recondite, derived ftom reconditus, may with aa much pro- 
 priety remove the accent from the long penultimate, as 
 carbuncle from ca/rhunciLhia^ calumny from calumnia, detri- 
 ment from detrimentunij imwcency from innocentia, contro- 
 versy from controversia, and a thousand others. The word 
 incondite must certainly follow the fortunes of the present 
 word ; and we find those ortho^pists, who have the word, 
 accent it as they do recondite^ Mr. Sheridan on the last 
 syllable, but Mr. Fenning,inconsistently, on the second."

 5t^ " Spenser and Milton place the accent upon the sec- 
 ond syllable of this word ; and, as Mr. Nares observes. 
 Dr. Johnson has, on the authority of these authors, adopt- 
 ed this accentuation. ' But this/ says Mr. Nares, ' is ir- 
 regular ; for every monosyllabic termination, added to a 
 word accented on the antepenult, throws the accent to 
 the fourth syllable from the end.' With great respect for 
 Mr. Nares's opinion on this subject, I should think a 
 much easier and more general rule might be laid down 
 for all words of this kind, which is, that those words 
 which take the Saxon terminations after them, as er, less^ 
 ness, lessness, ly, Sec, preserve the accent of the radical 
 word; therefore this and the following words ought to 
 have the same accent as remedy, from which they are 
 formed." Walker.

 state derived from duties, customs, taxation, excise, and 
 other sources ; income ; annual profits from lands or other 
 funds, gtif "This word seems as nearly balanced be- 
 tween the accent on the first and second syllable as pos- 
 sible ; but as it is of the same form and origin cis avenue 
 and retinue, it ought to follow the same fortune. Retinue 
 seems to have been long inclining to accent the first syl- 
 lable, and avenue has decidedly done so, since Dr. Watts 
 observed that it was sometimes accented on the second ; 
 and, by this retrocession of accent, as it may be called, we 
 may easily foresee that these three words will uniformly 
 yield to the antepenultimate accent, the favorite accent 
 of our language, conformably to the general rule, which 
 accents simples of three syllables upon the first. Dr. John- 
 son, Mr. Nares, and Bailey, are for the accent on the sec- 
 ond syllable; but Dr. Ash, Dr. Kenrick, Buchanan, W. 
 Johnston, Perry, Barclay, Fenning, and Entick, accent 
 the first. Mr. Sheridan gives both, but places the antepe- 
 nultimate accent first." Walker. All the principal Eng- 
 lish ortho^pists^ more recent than Walker, give the pref- 
 erence to placing the accent on the first syllable. See 
 Retinue.

 n. [rHerie, Fr.] A fit of wandering thought or deep mus- 
 ing ; a wild fancy ; meditation. J)5° ^oth the orthogra- 
 phy and pronunciation of this word are unsettled, some 
 good writers and speakers using one form, and some the 
 other. — " This word seems to have been some years float- 
 ing between the accent on the first and last syllable, but 
 to have settled at last on the former. It may still, how- 
 ever, be reckoned among those words, which, if occasion 
 require, admit of either. It may, perhaps, be necessary to 
 observe, that some lexicographers have written this word 
 reveriCj instead of revery, and that, while it is thus writ- 
 ten, we may place the accent either on the first or last 
 syllable ; but, if we place the accent on the last of revery, 
 and pronounce the y like e, there arises an irregularity 
 which forbids it ; for i/, with the accent on it, is never so 
 pronounced. Dr. Johnson's orthography, therefore, with 
 y in the last syllable, and Mr. Sheridan's accent on the 
 first, seem to be the most correct mode of writing and 
 pronouncing this word." Walker.

 ^Hf The use of the word ride, both as a verb and a 
 noun, in the sense of hang conveyed in a carriage, lias 
 been regarded as an Americanism ; and it has been 
 maintained that the English use, and the proper mean- 
 ing of ridCf is a conveyance on horseback; and that a 
 conveyance in a carriage is not a, ride, hut a drive; and 
 it is thus used in the following quotation fVom Cowper. 
 " Sometimes I get into a neighbor's chaise, but generally 
 ride;" (i. e., on horseback.) — The Quarterly Review re- 
 marks upon what has been called the American use of 
 the word, that "it has been, for a hundred years, a noted 
 vulgarism in England." This " noted vulgarism " has 
 been countenanced, for more than "a hundred years," 
 by the English dictionaries ; and it is sanctioned by the 
 most eminent English lexicographers. Bailey defines the 
 verb to ride, "to go on horseback, in a coach, wa^on, 
 &c. ; " Johnson, " to travel on horseback ; to travel m a 
 vehicle;" Richardson, "to convey or carry on a horse, 
 or other animal, or in any sort of carriage ; to sit upon 
 such an animal, or in such a carriage, whether the mo- 
 tion be slow or fast; " and Todd defines the noun ride, 
 " an excursion in a vehicle or on horseback ; as, ' to take 
 aride.'" — "He made him to ride in the chariot." Qen.

 IISalve , (s'iv or sai v) [siv, P. E. K. Sm. R. Wb. ; 's^l v, W. J. 
 F. ; salv or siv, Ja.] n. [sealf. Sax. ; salbon, Goth.] A gluti- 
 nous composition or ointment applied to wounds and 
 hurts; help; remedy. 0C>*"Dr. Johnson tells us that 
 this word is originally and properly salf; which, having 
 salves in the plural, the singular, in time, was borrowed 
 from it; sea^f, Saxon, undoubtedly from salvus, Latin. 
 There is some diversity among our orthoSpists about the 
 I in this word and its verb. Mr. Sheridan marks it to be 
 pronounced ; Mr. Smith, W. Johnston, and Barclay, make 
 it mute ; Mr. Scott and Mr. Perry give it both ways ; and 
 Mr. Nares says it is mute in the noun, but sounded in the 
 verb. The mute I ia certainly countenanced in this word 
 by calve and halve; but, as they are very irregular, and are 
 the only words where the I is silent in this situation, (for 
 valve, delve, solve, &c., have the I pronounced,) and as this 
 word is of Latin original, the I ought certainly to be pre- 
 served in both words ; for, to have the same word sound- 
 ed differently to signify different things, is a defect in 
 language that ought, as much as possible, to be avoided,"

 g5=-This word is sometimes written, in this country, 
 savior, and sometimes saviour, but more commonly savior, 
 in accordance with the pretty generally adopted rule 
 which excludes m from words ending in or or our; as, 
 error, favor, honor, &c. These words, error, favor, ^na 
 honor, are derived directly from the Latin, without any 
 change in the orthography; but it is not so with samor; 
 and the omission of the u is offensive to the eyes of many, 
 who are accustomed to see it inserted ; and the principal 
 reason in favor of its omission is conformity to the gen- 
 eral rule relating to words of this class.

 ent to the sceptical philosophy ; a Fyrrhonist ; a doubter;

 95"The old orthography of this word was sceptic; and 
 it is so printed in the old dictionaries which preceded those 
 of Dr. Johnson, viz., those of Blount, Phillips, Coles, 
 Kersey, Bailey, Dyche, Ainsworth, Martin, fee. ; but Dr. 
 Johnson introduced the orthography of s&ejjiic, and in this 
 he has been followed by a majority of succeeding lexicog- 
 raphers, among whom are Ash, Kenrick, Barclay, Fen- 
 ning, Barlow, Brown,' Entick, Scott, Sheridan, Perry, 
 Jones, Jameson, and Richardson ; but sceptic is preferred 
 by Lemon, Walker, Enfield, Fulton and Knight, Rees, 
 Maunder, Smart, and Reid. In the first edition of Dr. 
 Webster's large Dictionary, (1828,) the word stands scep- 
 tic, pronounced sep'tic ; but, in the second edition, (1841,) 
 it is altered to skeptic. In encyclopedias and dictionaries 
 of the arts and sciences, the orthography generally used 
 is sceptic. 
 
 Walker, in speaking of the orthography and pronun- 
 ciation of this word, says, " Dr. Johnson has not only 
 given his approbation to the sound of A;, but has, contrary 
 to general practice, spelt the word skeptic. It is not my 
 intention to cross the general current of polite and classi- 
 cal pronunciation, which is, I know, that of sounding the 
 c like k i my objection is only to writing it with the k ; and 
 in this I think I am supported by the best authorities since 
 the publication of Johnson's Dictionary." 
 
 In a notice of Dr. Johnson's Dictionary, in the Monthly 
 Review, in 1755, soon after its first publication, the fol- 
 lowing remark is found, in relation to this word : " Scep- 
 tic, he insists, ought to be written skeptic, but without 
 producing any authority in favor of that mode of spell- 
 ing." In all the instances, six in number, adduced by John- 
 son to illustrate the use of the words sce^ticj sc^tical, and 
 scepticism^ the orthography of sc, and not sft, is used ; the 
 same is the fact with respect to all the instances, nine in 
 number, adduced by Richardson in his Dictionary. The 
 orthography of sceptic, sc^tical, scepUdsm, continues to be 
 the prevailing and best usage; sc being pronounced hard 
 like sk in these words, as in the word scirrhus.

 those who profess the same religion ; a division ; sepa- 
 ration. 35° "The common pronunciation of this word is 
 contrary to every rule for pronouncing words from the 
 learned languages, and ought to be altered. Ch, in Eng- 
 lish words, coming from Greek words with %, ought al- 
 ways to be pronounced like k; and I believe the word in 
 question is almost the only exception throughout the 
 language. However strange, therefore, sHzm may sound, 
 it is the only true and analogical pronunciation ; and we 
 might as well pronounce scheme seme, as schism sizm, 
 there being exactly the same reason for both. But, when 
 once a false pronunciation is fixed, as this is, it requires 
 some daring spirit to begin the reformation; but, when 
 once begun, as it has (what seldom happens) truth, nov- 
 elty, and the appearance of Greek erudition, on its side, 
 there is no doubt of its success. Whatever, therefore, 
 may be the fate of its pronunciation, it ought still to re- 
 tain its spelling. This must be held sacred, or the whole 
 language will be metamorphosed ; for the very same rea-

 sometimes, but improperly, written schimis, with the A 
 in the first syllable instead of the last ; and Bailey and 
 Fenning have given us two aspirations, and spelt it 
 schirrhus ; both of which modes of spelling the word sure 
 contrary to the general analogy of orthography ; for, as the 
 word comes from the Greek tr«id/5o?, the latter ?-, only, 
 can have the aspiration, as the first of these double let- 
 ters has always the spiritus lenis; and the c, in the first 
 syllable, arising from the Greek if, and not the Xi no 
 more reason can be given for placing the h after it, by 
 spelling it schimtSj than there is for spelling scene^ from 
 CKrfv^, schene ; or sceptre, from (rKfjirTpov, scheptre. The 
 most correct Latin orthography confirms this opinion, by 
 spelling the word in question scirrhus ; and, according to 
 the most settled analogy of our own language, and the 
 constant method of pronouncing words from the Greek 
 and Latin, the c ought to be soft before the i in this 
 word, and the first syllable should be pronounced like the 
 first of syr-ingBj Sir-i-us, Slc. Whatever might have been 
 the occasion of the false orthography of this word, its 
 false pronunciation seems fixed beyond recovery," JVcdker.

 9:5=* " There is a remarkable exception to the common 
 sound of the letter e in the words cleric, sergeant, and a 
 few others, where we find the e pronounced like the a in 
 dark and margin. But this exception, I imagine, was, 
 till within these few years, the general rule of sounding 
 this letter before r, followed by another consonant. Thir- 
 ty years ago, every one pronounced the first syllable of 
 merchant like the monosyllable march, and as it was ori- 
 ginally written, marchant Service and servant are still 
 heard, among the lower orders of speakers, as if written 
 sarvice and sarvant ; and even among the better sort, we 
 sometimes have the salutation, ^ Sir, your sarvant;' 
 though this pronunciation of the word singly would be 
 looked upon as a mark of the lowest vulgarity. The 
 proper names Derby and Berkeley still retain the old 
 sound ; but even these, in polite usage, are getting into 
 the common sound, nearly as if written JDurby and 
 Burkeley. As this modern pronunciation of the e has a 
 tendency to simplify the language by lessening the num- 
 ber of exceptions, it ought certainly to be indulged." 
 IVaUcer. 
 
 " The letters er are irregularly sounded ar in clerk and 
 sergeant, and formerly, but not now, in merchant, Derby, 
 and several other words." Smart. 
 
 In the United States, the letters er are, by good speak- 
 ers, regularly sounded, as in her, in the words merchant^ 
 servant, Derby, Berkeley^ &c. The regular pronunciation 
 of clerk (clerk) is also a very common, if not the prevail- 
 ing, mode. Many give the same sound to e in sergeant.

 word shore, he says, * Common shore, Londinensibus ita 
 corrupts dicitur, the common sewer.' Johnson has given 
 us no etymology of this word ; but Skinner tells us, 
 *Non infeliciter CoiocZ/iwdeclinataverbo issue, dictumque 
 putat quasi is*Mer, abjecta. initiali syllabi,' Nothing can 
 be more natural than this derivation ; the s going into sh 
 before u, preceded by the accent, is agreeable to analogy, 
 and the u in this case, being pronounced like ew, might 
 easily draw the word into the common orthography, 
 sewer; while the sound of sh was preserved, and the ew, 
 as in sJieWj strew, and sew, might soon slide into o, ana 
 thus produce the present anomaly." Walker.

 ShXll, v. [i. should.] It is an auxiliajy and defective 
 verb, used to form the future tense. In the first person, 
 it implies having intention or purpose to, or being in a state 
 to ; as, " I shall go ; " "I shall die." In the second and 
 third persons, it implies compulsion, command, promise, 
 or threat ; as, " you shall go ; " " you shall die ; " '* they 
 shall go;" "they sAa/Z die." 
 
 Shall and wiU., the two signs of the future tense in the 
 English language^ are often confounded with each other, 
 especially by foreigners, and by persons not well versed 
 in the language. A sad misapplication of these auxilia- 
 ries was made by the foreigner, in England, who, having 
 fallen into the Thames, cried out, '■'■I will be drowned ; 
 nobody shaU help me." Shall, in the first person, simply

 ens; as, "I will do it:" — and in the second and third

 The following remarks are quoted from Johnson: — 
 "The explanation of shall, which foreigners and pro- 
 vincials confound with will, is not easy ; and the diffi- 
 culty is increased by the poets, who sometimes give to 
 shall an emphatical sense of will; but I shall endeavor, 
 crassSt Mi7ierv&, to show the meaning of shall in the fu- 
 ture tense. — 1. I shall love, It will be so that I must 
 love; I am resolved to love.— 9. Shall I love 7 Will it 
 be permitted me to love? Will you permit me to love?

 as it is the only pure English word in the language where 
 the final e does not produce the long diphthongal sound 
 of i when the accent is on it ; but this irregularity is so 
 fixed as to give the regular sound a pedantic stiffness. 
 Mr. Sheridan, Mr. Scott, and Buchanan, however, have 
 adopted this sound, in which they have been followed by 
 Mr. Smith ; but Mr. Elphinston, Dr. Lowth, Dr. Kenrick, 
 Mr. Perry, and Barclay, are for the irregular sound ; W. 
 Johnston gives both, but places the irregular first. It may 
 likewise be observed that this word, when unaccented at 
 the end of words, as, .Nottinghamshire, Wiltshire, &c., is 
 always pronounced witli the t like ee." JVaUcer.

 SiVliOlN, [siVlHin, J. E. F. Sm. R. Wb. ; sir-lSin', Ja. 
 Bees.] n. The loin of beef, or a piece of beef covering 
 either kidney. — A baron of beef, now sn obsolete joint, 
 consisted of two sirloins undivided. W. Ency. — Johnson, 
 in his definition of sir, says it is " a title given to the loin 
 of beef, which one of our kings knighted in a fit of good 
 humor ; " or, as another phrases it, "in one of his merry 
 moods." — In this account of the origin of sirloin, John- 
 son has been generally followed by subsequent English 
 lexicographers, who have spoken of its etymology. The 
 king referred to, according to some, was Charles II, ; but 
 according to a greater number, James I. The following 
 account is given by Dean Swift, in his " Polite Conver- 
 sation: " — "But pray why is it called asirZoin? — Why, 
 you must know that our king, James L, who loved good 
 
 eating, being invited to dinner by one of bis nobles, and 
 aeeine a large loin of beef at his table, he drew out his 
 sword, and in a frolic knighted it." Whether this was 
 related by Swift in a serious or "merry mood," may bo 
 doubted ; as it may well be doubted whether this is a 
 correct account of the origin of the word. 
 
 It is not found inanyEnglishdictionary previous to that of 
 Johnson, with the orthography of sirloin ; but the earlier 
 orthography was surloin. Bailey's Dictionary has surlain 
 of beef, corresponding to the French surlonge de bmvf, 
 the obvious or probable etymology. Surloin is also given 
 by Ainsworth; and the word occurs repeatedly in Cot- 
 grave's Dictionary^ first published in 1611, with the or- 
 thography of swrloine and surloyne. See Surloin.

 the Latin word pes, foot ; — viz., biped, centiped, cirroped, 
 condyloped, milleped, multiped, palmiped, plumiped, guculru- 
 ped, and soliped; and it would seem proper that the final 
 syllable in each should be spelled and pronounced in the 
 same manner. The last syllable of Hped and quadruped 
 is uniformly written ped, without a final e. With regard 
 to the others, usage is divided, though the final syllable of 
 most of them has been heretofore more commonly writ- 
 ten pede, with a final e; and it is pronounced by some 
 ortboepists long, and by others short. There is no good 
 reason for this diversity, and the best, and, perhaps, 
 only practicable mode of eBtablishing uniformity, is to 
 spell them all without a final e, and pronounce the final 
 syllable, ped, short.

 of the black art themselves, against me in the pronunciar- 
 tion of this word, I have ventured to prefer the regular 
 pronunciation to the irregular. The adjective sooty has 
 Its regular sound among the correctest speakers, which 
 has induced Mr. Sheridan to mark it so ; but nothing can 
 be more absurd than to pronounce the substantive in one 
 manner, and the adjective, derived from it by adding y, 
 in another. The other orthoSpiats, therefore, who pro- 
 nounce both these words with the oo like fi, are more 
 consistent than Mr. Sheridan, though, upon the whole, 
 not so right." Walker.

 To allay ; to compose ; to assuage ; to tranquillize ; to

 igate ; to appease. {fCr " 27i, at the end of words, is 
 sharp, as deatk, breathy &c., except in beneath^ booth, with, 
 and the verbs to seeth, to smooth, to sootii, to moutJt, all 
 which ought to be written with e final, not only to dis- 
 tinguish some of them from the nouns, but to show that 
 th is soft ; for tA, when final, is sometimes pronounced 
 soft, as in (0 mouth ; yet the, at the end of words, is never 
 pronounced hard. There is as obvious an analogy for this 
 sound of th in these verbs, as for the 2 sound of a in verbs 
 ending in se ; and why we should write some verbs with 
 e, and others without it, is inconceivable. The best way 
 to show the absurdity of our orthography, in this particu- 
 lar, will be to draw out the nouns and verbs as they stand 
 in Johnson's Dictionary : —

 ' Surely nothing can be more evident than the analogy 
 of the language in this case. Is it not absurd to hesitate 
 a moment at writing all the verba with e final. This ia a 
 departure from our great lexicographer which he himself 
 would approve, as nothing but inadvertency could have 
 led him into thia unmeaning irregularity." Widker. 
 
 Although Walker speaks so decidedly on thia matter, 
 yet he has not accommodated the orthography of all these 
 words to the principle which be inculcates. It could be 
 wished that all the words of this clasa were conformed in 
 their orthography to thia rule. The only ones which are 
 not now actually, by respectable usage, conformed to it, 
 are the verbs to mouth and to smooth, which we hardly 
 ever see written to mouthe and to smoothe.

 " Objective certainty is when the proposition is certainly

 every intellectual act, we necessarily make between 
 ourselves, the conscious subject, and that of which we 
 are conscious, the object. * / know,^ and * something ift 
 known by jne,' are convertible propositions ; every act of 
 the soul which is not thus resolvable, belongs to the emo- 
 tive part of our nature, as distinguished from the intelli- 
 gent and percipient. For the distinction between subject 
 and object, all-important in intellectual philosophy, arid

 fusion and perplexity, we are indebted to the schoolmen, 
 from whom it was derived, through Wolf and Leibnitz, 
 by Kant and the modern German philosophers." Brande.

 ,.9^ " '^^^^ '^'"'** ^"d subtile have been used almost in- 
 discriminately to express very different senses, as may 
 be seen in Johnson ; but, as custom has adopted a difier- 
 ent spelling and a different pronunciation, it ia to be pre- 
 sumed it has not been without reason. That the first 
 sense of the word, meaning ^ne, acute, &:c., should ex- 
 tend itself to the latter, meaning sly, artfid^ Sec, is not to 
 be wondered at, as words have a tendency to fall into a 
 bad sense ; witness knave^ villain, &c. ; but, if custom has 
 marked this difference of sense by a difference of spell- 
 ing and pronunciation^ it should seem to be an effbrt of 
 nature to preserve precision in our ideas. If these obser- 
 vations are just, the abstracts of these words ought to be 
 kept as distinct as their concretes : from subtile ought to 
 be formed subtilty, and ftom subtle, subtlety; the 6 being

 grace which is communicated by the sacraments. It fol-

 the accent on the second syllable, as if it were formed 
 from success ; but this accentuation, though agreeable to 
 its Latin original, has, as in confessor, yielded to the pre- 
 vailing power of the English antepenultimate accent. 
 Dr. Johnson, Mr. Sheridan, Mr. Elphinston, and Entick 
 accent this word on the first syllable : and Dr. Ash, Dr. 
 Kenrick, W. Johnston, Mr. Perry, Buchanan, and Bailey, 
 on the second; Barclay and Fenning give both, but pre- 
 fer the first ; Mr. Scott gives both, and prefers the second : 
 but, from the opinion that is foolishly gone forth, that we 
 ought to accent words as near the beginning as possible, 
 there is little doubt that the antepenultimate accent will 
 prevail." Walker. — " This is one of the words over

 " From this survey of our dictionaries, we find them 
 uniform only in the word tenor. They are nearly equally 
 divided on the word tenet ; and, if similitude were to de- 
 cide, it would be clearly in favor of the short vowel, in 
 this word as well as in tenor. They are both Latin words, 
 and both have the vowel short in the original. This, how- 
 ever, is no reason, with those who understand the anal- 
 ogy of English pronunciation, (for tremor, minor. Sec, have 
 the first vowel short in Latin,) but it sufficiently shows 
 the partiality of the ear to the short vowel in words of 
 this form, as is evident in the word tenant." Walker.

 tion of tenable^ tenet, and tenwre, by the principal English

 (Math.) A term applied to any equation, curve, or quan- 
 tity, which cannot be represented or defined by an alge- 
 braical equation of terms, with numeral and determinate 
 in dices. Francia. — In metapkysics, or intdlectwd philosophy, 
 " the term transcendental is applied to any thing that lies 
 beyond the bounds of our experience, or which does not 
 come within the reach of our senses. All philosophy 
 which carries its investigations beyond the sphere ot 
 things which fall under our senses, is transcendental, and 
 the term is thus synonymous with metaphysisal. Tran- 
 scendental philosophy may begin with experience, and 
 thence proceed beyond it ; or it may start from ideas, a 
 vrimi, which are in our mind: — in the latter case the 
 philosophy is purely transcendental, while in the former 
 it is of a mixed character." P. Cyc.

 analogy of the language ; and it only wants the sanction 
 of the prevailing usage to render it the preferable orthog-

 TRlpH'THdNfi, (trlp'thSng) [trip'thiSng, S. W. P. J. P. Ja.

 of three vowels in one syllable or sound ; a trigraph ; as, 
 eau, eye. QCT" Two aspirations in succession, says Mr. 
 Elphinston, seem disagreeable to an English ear, and 
 therefore one of them is generally sunk. Thus diphthong 
 and triphthong are pronounced dipthong and tripthong. P 
 is lost, as well as h, in apophthegm ; and therefore it is no 
 wonder we hear the first h dropped in ophtJialmy and oph- 
 thalmic, which is the pronunciation I have adopted, as 
 agreeable to analogy. Nay, such an aversion do we seem 
 to have to a succession of aspirates, that the h is sunk in 
 
 iathmua, Esther,o.nA Z)emostACTifls [.H, because the s, which 
 is akin to the aspiration, immediately precedes. Mr. Sheri- 
 dan pronounces the first syllable of ophthalmic like off, 
 but the first of diphthong and triphthong like dip and trip. 
 Mr. Scott, W. Johnston, and Mr. Perry, pronounce dipltr- 
 thong and triphthong in the same manner as Mr. Sheridan. 
 Dr. Kenrick gives no pronunciation to diphthong, but 
 makes the h silent in triphtJtong; while Barclay pro- 
 nounces the h in ophthalmic, but makes it either way in 
 diphthong, and silent in triphthong. It may be remarked, 
 that Dr. Jones, who wrote a spelling dictionary in Clueen 
 Anne's time, makes the A in those two words silent."

 Om. a Saxon prefix, equivalent in meaning to the privative 
 a of the Greeks, and the privative in of the Latins.

 before perfect participles of active verbs, to form adjec- 
 tives; and also before many present participles, and a 
 considerable number of verbs and nouns. 
 When prefixed to adjectives, participles, and adverbs, 
 
 it is uniformly interpreted by not ; in substantives, by the 
 want or abaence off and in verbs, it almost always signifies 
 the reversing or annulling of the action or state expressed 
 by the verb. Nearly or quite all the words compounded 
 with un, that are often met with, are here inserted. But 
 some which are, or maybe, legitimately formed, are doubt- 
 less omitted. — Un and in are in some cases used indiffer- 
 ently; as, MTtalienable or inalienable. See In.

 J)5= " This word is perfectly Anglicized, and therefore 
 ought to have its last syllable pronounced according to 
 English analogy, like centre, sceptre, mitre, &c. There is 
 a common mistake in the use of the Latin word from 
 which this is derived, which it may not be improper to 
 rectify. Vertebra is not unfrequentJy used to signify the 
 whole collection of joints which form the backbone, 
 while in reality it means only one of those joints : the 
 plural is vertebra, and this ought to be used for the whole 
 spine, if we denominate it by a Latin word ; but if we 
 speak English, it ought to be vertebres, and pronounced 
 as if written verteburs.^'' Walker.

 the letters / and U to David Garrick, Esq., both complain- 
 ing of terrible grievances imposed upon them by that great 
 actor, who frequently banished them from their proper 
 stations, as in the word virtue, which, they said, he con- 
 verted into vurtue ; andj in the word ungrateful^ he dis- 
 placed the u, and made it ingratefidj to the great prejudice 
 of the said letters. To this complaint Garrick replied in 
 the following epigram : — 
 'If it is, as you say, that I've injured a letter, 
 I'll change my note soon, and, I hope, for the better. 
 May the right use of letters, as well as of men, 
 Hereafter be fixed by the tongue and the pen. 
 Most devoutly I wish they may both have their due, 
 And that /may be never mistaken for 17.'"

 ff^ " These two modes of pronunciation have been long 
 
 contending for superiority, till at last the former [wind] 
 seems to have gained a complete victory, except in the 
 
 territories of rhyme Mr. Sheridan tells us that 
 
 Swift used to jeer those who pronounced wind with the i 
 short, by saying, 'I have a great mtnd to find why you 
 pronounce it wtnd.^ A very illiberal critic retorted this 
 upon Mr. Sheridan by saying, ' If I may be so boold, I 
 should be glad to be toold why you pronounce it gooldJ* 
 
 Mr. Sheridan and Mr. Scott give the same prefer^ 
 
 ence to the first sound of this word that I have done. Dr. 
 Kenrick and Mr. Barclay give only the short sound. Mr. 
 Ferry joins them in this sound, but says in dramatic 
 scenes it has the long one. Mr. Nares says it has cer- 
 tainly the short sound in common usage, but that all our 
 best poets rhyme it with mind, kind, &c. ; and Mr. Smith 
 observes, that it is now the polite pronunciation, though 
 against analogy." Walker,

 saying, or in forging an apposite tale ; sometimes it play- 
 eth in words and phrases, takingadvantage from the ambi- 
 guity of their sense, or the afiintty of their sound ; some- 
 times it is wrapped up in a dress of humorous expres- 
 sion ; sometimes it lurketh under an odd similitude ; 
 sometimes it is lodged in a sly question, in a smart an- 
 swer, in a quirkish reason, in a shrewd intimatiou, in 
 cunningly diverting or cleverly retorting an objection ; 
 sometimes it is couched in a bold scheme of speech, in a 
 tart irony, in a lusty hyperbole, in a startling metaphor, 
 in a plausible reconciling of contradictions, or In acute 
 nonsense; sometimes a scenical representation of per- 
 sons or things, a counterfeit speech, a mimical look or 
 gesture, passeth for it ; sometimes an affected simplicity, 
 sometimes a presumptuous bluntness, giveth it being; 
 sometimes it riseth only from a lucky hitting upon what 
 is strange ; sometimes from a craf1;y wresting obvious 
 matter to the purpose. Often it consisteth in one knows 
 not what, and springeth up one can hardly tell how. Its 
 ways are unaccountable and inexplicable, being answer- 
 able to the numberless rovings of fancy and windings of 
 language."

 this phrase, ill understood, came ''would to Ood ; " thence 
 *'/ would to Oodi" and thence /would, or, elliptically, 
 would, came to signify I wish i — and it is used even by 
 good authors, but ought not to be imitated."

 ©^'"The first pronunciation of this word, [w6nd,] 
 though generally received among the polite world, is cer- 
 tainly a capricious novelty, — a novelty either generated 
 by false criticism, to distinguish it from the preterit of the 
 verb to wind, of which there was not the least danger of 
 interference, or more probably from an alfectation of the 
 French sound of this diphthong, which, as in pour, and 
 some other words, we find of late to have prevailed. The 
 stage is in possession of this sound, and what Swift ob-- 
 serves of newspapers, with respect to the introduction of 
 new and fantastical words, may be applied to the stage, 
 with respect to new and fantasticaJ modes of pronuncia- 
 tion. That the other pronunciation was the established 
 sound of the word, appears from the poets, who rhyme it 
 with bound, found, ground, and around ; and it is still so 
 among the great bulk of speakers, who learn this sound 
 at school, and are obliged to unlearn it again when they 
 come into the conversation of the polite world. Mr. Sher- 
 idan, Mr. Scott, and Mr. Elphinston, adopt the first sound 
 of this word ; but Dr. Kenrick and W. Johnston the sec- 
 ond : Mr. Perry gives both, but prefers the first ; and though 
 Mr. Smith, in his Vocabulary, has classed it with sound 
 and found, he says woond is the common pronunciation. 
 I am, however, of Mr. Nares's opinion, who says this pro- 
 nunciation ought to be entirely banished. But where is 
 the man bold enough to risk the imputation of vulgarity 
 by such an expulsion?" Walker. — Smart styles wound 
 "the old-fashioned, pronunciation."

 next, as it is more related to its familiar substitute yes ,

 it is always so pronounced when contrasted with nay; aa

 be yea, yea, and nay, nay.' " Walker.

 J)S- " Junius gives us a great variety of derivations of 
 this word, but seems most to approve of that from gae- 
 man, in the old Frisic, signifying a countryman or vil- 
 lager ; and this word is derived further, by Junius, from 
 the Greek yaTa, yair/, yij, which, he tells us, does not 
 only signify the earth in general, but any great portion 
 of land. Skinner says it may be derived from the Anglo- 
 Saxon geuuene, or the Teutonic gemein, a common man, 
 or one of the commonalty j or from eoweman, a shepherd ; 
 from goodman, an appellation given to inferior people ; 
 from gemana, a companion j from geongman, a young 
 man ; from jeman, an ordinary man, or any body, like 
 the Spanish hidalgo ; but he prefers its derivation from 
 the Anglo-Saxon gvma, a painful or laborious man. 
 
 " But, however widely etymologists are divided in the 
 derivation of this word, orthoepiste are not less different 
 in their pronunciation of it. Mr. Sheridan, Mr. Scott, Mr. 
 Coote, (author of the ' Elements of Grammar,') Steele's 
 Grammar, (published in Queen Anne's time,) Mr. Bar- 
 clay, Mr. Smith, and Buchanan, pronounce it with the 
 diphthong short, as if written ySmnMn ; Dr. Kenrick pro- 
 nounces it as if written yumman; Mr. Elphinston (who 
 quotes Langham, the famous reformer of orthography in 
 Queen Elizabeth's time, for the same pronunciation) 
 sounds the CO like ee ; and Dr. Jones, the author of the 
 •New Art of Spelling,' in Queen Anne's time, pro- 
 nounces it in the same manner ; to which we may add 
 Ben Jonson, who says that yeoman, people, and jeopardy, 
 were truer written y4man, peple, jepardy. But W. John- 
 ston, Mr. Perry, Entick, and Fry, pronounce the eo like 
 long, open o, as if written yomanf and this last appears 
 to me to be the most received pronunciation. It is that 
 which we constantly hear applied to the king's body- 
 guard, and it is that which has always been the pronun- 
 ciation on the stage, — an authority which, in this ease, 
 may not, perhaps, improperly be called the best echo of 
 the public voice. I well remember hearing Mr. Garrick 
 
 E renounce the word in this manner, in a speech in King 
 lear : ' Tell me, fellow, is a madman a gentleman or a 
 ySman ? '" Walker.

 even so ; not only so^ but more. 
 
 iCr " This word is worn into a somewhat slenderer 
 sound than what is authorized by the orthography ; but 
 e and i are frequently interchangeable, and few changes 
 can be better established than this. W. Johnston and 
 Mr. Perry are the only orthoiipists, who give the sound 
 of the vowels, that do not mark this change : but Mr. 
 Sheridan, Mr. Scott, Dr. Kenrick, Mr. Nares, Mr. Smith 
 and Dr. Jones, in his 'New Art of Spelling,' confirm 
 this change, and rhyme it with hiss, miss, bliss. Sec."

 834 ZAR 
 
 possessed follows; aa, "your hook;" otherwise yours, 
 as, " This book iByows." 
 
 ^Cr " This word is nearly under the same predicament 
 as the pronoun my. When the emphasis is upon this 
 word, it is always pronounced full and open, like the 
 noun ewer ; as, * The moment I had read your letter, I 
 sat down to write mine}^ but when it is not emphati- 
 cal, it generally sinks into yvr, exactly like the last sylla- 
 ble of lavMjer ; as, ' I had just answered yur first letter, 
 as yur last arrived.' Here, if we were to say, ' I had 
 just answered your first letter as your last arrived,* with 
 your sounded full and open like ewer, as in the former 
 sentence, every delicate ear would be offended. This 
 obscure sound of the possessive pronoun your always 
 takes place when it is used to signify any species of 
 persons or things in an indeterminate sense. Thus, 
 Addison, speaking of those metaphors which profession- 
 al men most commonly fall into, aays, ' Your men of 
 business usually have recourse to such instances aa are 
 
 too mean and familiar.* The pronunciation of 
 
 your, in yourself, is a confirmation of these observations."

 05= "There are few words better confirmed by au- 
 thority in their departure from the sound of their simples 
 than this and zealous. Dr, Kenrick gives both sounds to both 
 words, but prefers the short sound by placing it first ; but 
 Mr. Elphinston, Mr. Sheridan, Mr. Nares, Mr. Smith, Mr. 
 Perry, Barclay, and Entick, give both these words the 
 short sound. As the word zealoits may either come from 
 the Latin zelus, or rather zdosusy or be a formative of our 
 own from zeal, as mllanaus, libdlous, &.C., from villain, 
 libel, &c., analogy might very allowably be pleaded for 
 the long sound of the diphthong ; and, if custom were less 
 decided, I should certainly give my vote for it ; but, as 
 propriety of pronunciation may be called a compound 
 ratio of usage and analogy, the short sound must, in this 
 case, be called the proper one." Walker.

 the quantity of the vowels, make the e long, except En- 
 tick. Thus Sheridan, Eenrick, Scott, Buchanan, W.

THE EDITOR^S PREFACE, 
 
 I The following pages contain the whole of Walker's " Key to the Classical Pronun 
 elation of Greek, Latin, and Scripture Proper Names," together with his " Introduction," 
 "Rules,'' and " Notes," and also his " Observations on the Greek and Latin Accent and 
 Quantity." To the Greek and Latin names inserted by Walker in his Key, have been 
 here added, by the Editor, about 3,000 other Greek and Latin names. Of these addi- 
 tional names, about 2,400 have been taken froin the " Classical Pronunciation of Proper 
 Names, established by Citations from the Greek and Latin Poets, Greek Historians, 
 Geographers, and Scholiasts," by Thomas Swinburne Carr, of King's College, 
 London ; between 500 and 600 are words which were added by the Rev. W. Trollope, 
 A. M., one of the Masters of Christ's Hospital, London, in his edition of Walker's 
 Key ; and some have also been inserted, which wei^e taken from Scheller's " Latin and 
 German Lexicon." 
 
 The words standing in the Initial Vocabulary without a letter annexed to them, are 
 words found in Walker's Key; and they are inserted with his pronunciation, the nota- 
 tion added to them being in general accordance with his principles. It is tlie same 
 notation that is used in the preceding Dictionary. The words to which (C) (T.) or 
 (8.) are annexed, are taken respectively from Carr, Trollope, and Scheller. 
 
 There is a considerable number of the Greek and Latin names, in the pronunciation 
 of which Carr differs from Walker. These names are repeated in the Initial Vo- 
 cabulary, the pronunciation of Carr following that of Walker, having the letter (C.) 
 annexed to it. In the pronunciation of a considerable number of words. Walker is 
 influenced by English analogy and usage ; but Carr adheres rigidly to classical au- 
 thority, and has no regard to English analogy or English usage ; and with respect to 
 the pronunciation of the words which they pronounce differently, that of Carr is almost 
 always better supported by classical authority, than that of Walker. Carr says of 
 his work, — " The object of it is to determine the pronunciation of classical proper 
 names solely on the basis of classical authority, — including, of course, metrical quota- 
 tions, orthography, and etymology As it was the object of the author to establish 
 
 the classical pronunciation of proper names, it was a matter of very secondary im- 
 portance as to whether the accentuation of any particular name, if based upon classical 
 authority, might coincide or not with that adopted by popular usage. It did not fall 
 within the limits of his task ' to consult the English ear,' or to recognize the ' analogy 
 of the English language,' as in the slightest degree competent to establish the pro- 
 nunciation of dead languages, which can only be recovered from a perusal of their 
 literary monuments now existing." 
 
 The few critical notes inserted by Mr. Trollope, in his edition of Walker's Key, 
 in some of which he combats Walker's principles, are inserted in their proper

 places ; and the Editor has also added a very few notes of his own. Though some 
 obvious errors, mostly typographical, in Walker's Key, have been corrected, yet the 
 course pursued has been to allow Walker's pronunciation to stand as he intended it 
 should. His decisions, however, are in many instances combated by other authorities. 
 The words added to the Initial Vocabulary of this edition of the Key, are not 
 inserted in the Terminational Vocabulary. Walker inserted many words in the Termi- 
 national Vocabulary which he did not introduce into the Initial Vocabulary ; and some 
 words found in both are pronounced differently in the two Vocabularies. Some palpa- 
 ble inconsistencies and errors have been corrected ; yet the Terminational Vocabulary 
 remains, for the most part, as Walker left it. 
 
 The pronunciation of but a small part of the Scripture Proper Names can be de- 
 termined by classical authority ; and they are, therefore, much more subjected to the 
 English analogy, than the Greek and Latin names. The pronunciation of most of 
 these names, as given by Walker, is in accordance with general usage. There is, 
 however, a considerable number of them respecting the pronunciation of which other 
 respectable orthoepists differ from him. These names stand in the Initial Vocabulary 
 with Walker's pronunciation placed first, followed by the deviations from him of the 
 following orthoepists ; namely, Oliver, Perry, Smart, Carr, and also Taylor, the editor 
 of Calmet's " Dictionary of the Bible." In some cases, the deviations are, doubtless, 
 to be preferred to Walker's mode. 
 
 The great addition now made to the vocabulary of Greek and Latin names in this 
 work, and the exhibition of the authorities of other orthoepists in relation to many 
 of the Greek, Latin, and Scripture proper names, with regard to which the pronuncia- 
 tion of Walker is combated, will give this edition of his " Key " advantages over any 
 other that has yet been published.

PREEACE. 
 
 The " Critical Pionouncing Dictionary of the English Language " naturally suggested an idea of 
 the present work. Proper names &om the Greek and Latin form so considerable a part of every 
 cultivated living language, that a dictionary seems to be imperfect without them. Polite scholars, 
 indeed, are seldom at a loss for the pronunciation of words they so frequently meet with in the 
 learned languages ; but there are great numbers of respectable English scholars, who, having only 
 a tincture of classical learning, are much at a loss for a knowledge of this part of it. It is not 
 only the learned professions that require this knowledge, but almost every one above the merely 
 mechanical. The professors of painting, statuary, and music, and those who admire their works ; 
 readers of history, politics, poetry ; all who converse on subjects ever so little above the vulgar, — 
 have so frequent occasion to pronounce these proper names, that whatever tends to render this 
 pronunciation easy must necessarily be acceptable to the public. 
 
 The proper names in Scripture have still a higher claim to our attention. That every thing con- 
 tained in that precious repository of divine truth should be rendered as easy as possible to the reader, 
 cannot be doubted ; and the very frequent occasions of pronouncing Scripture proper names, in a 
 country where reading the Scripture makes part of the religious worship, seem to demand some 
 work on this subject more perfect than any we have hitherto seen. 
 
 I could have wished it had been undertaken by a person of more learning and leisure than 
 myself; but we often wait in vain, for works of this kind, from those learned bodies which ought to 
 produce them, and at last are obliged, for the best we cem get, to the labors of some necessitous 
 individual. Being long engaged in the instruction of youth, 1 felt the want of a work of this kind, 
 and have supplied it in the best manner I am able. If I have been happy enough to be useful, or 
 only so far useftil as to induce some abler hand to undertake the subject, I shall think my labor 
 amply rewarded. I shall still console myself with reflecting, that he who has produced a prior 
 work, however inferior to those that succeed it, is under a very different predicament from him who 
 produces an after-work inferior to those that have gone before.

 TO THE SECOND EDITION. 
 
 The favorable reception of the first edition of this work has induced me to attempt to make it 
 still more worthy of the acceptance of the public, by the addition of several critical observations, 
 and particularly by two Terminational Vocabularies, of Greek and Latin, and Scripture, Proper 
 Names. That so much labor should be bestowed upon an inverted arrangement of these words, 
 when they had already been given in their common alphabetical order, may be matter of wonder to 
 many persons, who vrill naturally inquire into the utility of such an arrangement. To these it may 
 be answered, that the words of all languages seem more related to each other by their terminations

 than by their beginnings ; that the Greek and Latin languages seem more particularly to be thus 
 related ; and classing them according to their endings seemed to exhibit a new view of these lan- 
 guages, both curious and useful ; for, as their accent and quantity depend so much on their termi- 
 nation, such an arrangement appeared to give an easier and more comprehensive idea of their pro- 
 nunciation, than the common classification by their initial syllables. This end was so desirable, as 
 to induce me to spare no pains, however dry and disgusting, to promote it ; and, if the method I 
 have taken has failed, my labor will not be entirely lo6t, if it convinces future prosodists that it is 
 not unworthy of their attention.

INTRODUCTION. 
 
 The pronunciation of the learned languages is much more easily acquired than that of our own. 
 Whatever might have been the variety of the different dialects among the Greeks, and the different 
 provinces of the Romans, their languages, now being dead, are generally pronounced according to 
 the respective analogies of the several languages of Europe, where those languages are cultivated, 
 without partaking of those anomalies to which the living languages are liable. 
 
 Whether one general uniform pronunciation of the ancient languages be an object of sufficient 
 importance to induce the learned to depart from the analogy of their own language, and to study 
 the ancient Latin and Greek pronunciation, as they do the etymology, syntax, and prosody of those 
 languages, is a question not very easy to be decided. The question becomes still more difficult, 
 when we consider the uncertainty we are in respecting the ancient pronunciation of the Greeks and 
 Romans, and how much the learned are divided among themselves about it.* Till these points 
 are settled, the English may well be allowed to follow their own pronunciation of Greek and Latin, 
 as well as other nations, even though it should be confessed, that it seems to depart more from what 
 we can gather of the ancient pronunciation, than either the Italian, French, or German. t For why 
 the English should pay a compliment to the learned languages, which is not done by any other 
 nation in Europe, it is not easy to conceive ; and, as the colloquial communication of learned individ- 
 uals of different nations so seldom happens, and is an object of so small importance when it does 
 
 ''' Middleton contends that the initial c before e and i 
 ought to be pronounced as the Italians now pronounce 
 it ; and that Cicero is neither Stsero, as the French and 
 English pronounce it, nor Kikero, as Dr. Bentley asserts ; 
 but Tc&itcherOj as the Italians pronounce it at this day. 
 Thia pronunciation, however, is derided by Lipsius, who 
 affirms that the c among the Romans had always the sound 
 of k. Lipsius says, too, that, of all the European nations, 
 the British alone pronounce the t properly ; but Middleton 
 asserts, that, of all nations, they pronounce it the worst. —

 Lipsius, speaking of the different pronunciation of the 
 letter G in different countries, says :

 t Monsieur Launcelot, the learned author of the Port- 
 Royal Greek Grammar, in order to convey the sound of the 
 long Greek vowel 77, tella us it is a sound between the e 
 and the a, and that Eustathius, who lived towards the 
 close of the twelfth century, says that ^fj, pfj, is a sound 
 made in imitation of the bleating of a sheep ; and quotes 
 to this purpose this verse of an ancient writer called 
 CratinUB :

 Caninius has remarked the same, Hellm. p. 96. *' E Ion- 
 gum, cujus sonus in ovium balatu sentitur, ut Cratinus et 
 Varro tradiderunt." " The sound of the e long may be per- 
 ceived in the bleating of sheep, aa Cratinus and Varro have 
 handed down to us." 
 
 Eustathius likewise remarks, upon the 499th v. of Hiad I ., 
 that the word BAdi// kanv b rfis Kkeipxi&fia^ ^xos ixiiiTiriKws

 cundum veterea; et (3fj imitatur vocem ovium.'* "Slops, 
 according to the ancients, is a sound in imitation of the 
 Clepsydra, as baa is expressive of the voice of sheep." It 
 were to be wished that the sound of every Greek vowel 
 had been conveyed to us by as faithful a testimony as the 
 jjra ; we should certainly have had a better idea of that 
 harmony for which the Greek language was so famous, and 
 in which respect Q,uintilian candidly yields it the prefer- 
 ence to the Latin. 
 
 Aristophanes has handed down to us the pronunciation 
 of the Greek diphthong av av, by making it expressive of 
 the barking of a dog. This pronunciation is exactly like 
 that preserved by nurses and children among us to this day 
 in bow wow. This is the sound of the same letters in the 
 Latin tongue ; not only in proper names derived from 
 Greek, but in every other word where thia dipihthong oc- 
 curs. Most nations in Europe, perhaps all but the English, 
 pronounce avdio and laudo as if written owdio and lowdo ; 
 the diphthong sounding like ou in loud. Agreeably to this 
 rule, it is presumed that we formerly pronounced the apos- 
 tle Paul nearer the original than at present. In Henry 
 VIII.'s time it was written St. Pauleys, and sermons were 
 preached at Pauleys Cross. The vulgar, generally the last 
 to alter, either for the better or worse, still have a jingling 
 proverb with this pronunciation, when they say, as old as 
 Poules. 
 
 The sound of the letter u is no less sincerely preserved 
 in Plautus, in Mensech. (p. 623, edit. Lambin.) in making use 
 of it to imitate the cry of an owl : 
 "Men. Egon' dedi? Pew. Tu, tu, istic, inquam. Vln* 
 
 afferri noctuam, 
 Q,aaB 'Tu, Tu,' usque dicat tibi? nam nos jam nos defessi 
 sumus." 
 
 " It appears here," says Mr. Forster, in his defence of the 
 Greek accents, (p. 129,) " that an owl's cry was tu, tu^ to a 
 Roman ear, as it is too, too, to an English." Lambjn, who 
 Was a Frenchman, observes, on the passage, " Alludit ad 
 noctuae vocem seu cantum, tu, tu, sen tow, tow." " He here 
 alludes to the voice or noise of an owl." It may be further 
 observed, that the English have totally departed from this 
 sound of the u in their own language, as well as in their 
 pronunciation of Latin.

 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 happen, It is not much to be regretted, that, when they meet, they are scarcely intelligible to each 
 other.* 
 
 But the English are accused not only of departing from the genuine sound of the Greek and 
 Latin vowels, but of violating the Quantity of these languages more than the people of any other 
 nation in Europe. The author of the " Essay upon the Harmony of Language " gives us a detail of 
 the particulars by which this accusation is proved; and this is so true «. picture of the English 
 pronunciation of Latin, that I shall quote it at length, as it may be of use to those who are obliged to 
 learn this language without the aid of a teacher. 
 
 " The falsification of the harmony by English scholars, in their pronunciation of Latin, with re. 
 gard to essential points, arises from two causes only ; first, from a, total inattention to the length 
 of vowel sounds, making them long or short, merely as chance directs ; and, secondly, from sound- 
 ing double consonants as only one letter. The remedy of this last fault is obvious. With regard 
 to the first, we have already observed, that each of our vowels hath its general long sound, and its 
 general short sound, totally different. Thus the short sound of e lengthened is expressed by the 
 letter a, and the short sound of i lengthened is expressed by the letter e; and, with all these anom- 
 alies usual in the application of vowel characters to the vowel sounds of our own language, wo 
 proceed to the application of vowel sounds to the vowel characters of the Latin. Thus, in the first 
 syllable of sidus and nomen, which ought to be long, and of miser and onus, which ought to be 
 short, we equally use the common long sound of the vowels ; but, in the oblique cases, sideris, nom- 
 inis, miseri, oneris, &c., we use quite another sound, and that a short one. These strange anoma- 
 lies are not common to us with our southern neighbors, the French, Spaniards, and Italians. 
 They pronounce sidus, according to our orthography, seedus, and, in the oblique cases, preserve the 
 same long sound of the i. Komen they pronounce as we do, and preserve, in the oblique cases, the 
 same long sound of the o. The Italians also, in their own language, pronounce doubled conso- 
 nants as distinctly as the two most discordant mutes of their alphabet. Whatever, therefore, they 
 may want of expressing the true harmony of the Latin language, they certainly avoid the most 
 glaring and absurd faults in our manner of pronouncing it. 
 
 "It is a matter of curiosity to observe with what regularity we use these solecisms in the pronun- 
 ciation of Latin. When the penultimate is accented, its vowel, if followed but by a single conso- 
 nant, is always long, as in Dr. Forster's examples. When the antepenultimate is accented, its 
 vowel is, without any regard to the requisite quantity, pronounced short, as in mirdbile, frigidus, 
 except the vowel of the penultimate be followed by a vowel; and then the vowel of the antepenul- 
 timate is, with as little regard to true quantity, pronounced long, as in maneo, redeat, odium, impe- 
 rium. Quantity is, however, vitiated to make i short, even in this case, as in oblivio, vinea, virium. 
 The only difference we make in pronunciation between vinea and venia is, that to the vowel of the 
 first syllable of the former, which ought to be long, we give a short sound ; to that of the latter, 
 which ought to be short, we give the same sound, but lengthened. U, accented, is always, before 
 B, single consonant, pronounced long, as in humerus, fugiens. Before two consonants no vowel 
 sound is ever made long, except that of the diphthong au; so that, whenever a doubled consonant 
 occurs, the preceding syllable is short.t Unaccented vowels we treat with no more ceremony in 
 Latin than in our own language." — Essay upon the Harmony of Language, p. 224. Printed for 
 Robson, 1774. [By William Mitford.] 
 
 This, it must be owned, is a very just state of the case ; but, though the Latin quantity is thus 
 violated, it is not, as this writer observes in the first part of the quotation, merely as chance directs, 
 but, as he afterwards observes, regularly, and, he might have added, according to the analogy o£ 
 English pronunciation, which, it may be observed, has a genius of its own, and which, if not so 
 well adapted to the pronunciation of Greek and Latin as some other modern languages, has as fixed 
 and settled rules for pronouncing them as any other. 
 
 The learned and ingenious author next proceeds to show the advantages of pronouncing our 
 vowels so as to express the Latin quantity. " We have reason to suppose," says he, " that our 
 usual accentuation of Latin, however it may want of many elegances in the pronunciation of the 
 Augustan age, is yet sufficiently just to give, with tolerable accuracy, that part of the general har-

 Imperatorem ealutandi caus^ advenisaent ; aingulosque, Gal-

 The love of the marvellous prevails over truth ; and I 
 question if the greatest diversity in the pronunciation of 
 
 Latin exceeds that of English at the capital and in some of 
 the counties of Scotland ; and yet the inhabitants of both 
 have no great difficulty in understanding each other. 
 
 t This corruption of the true quantity is not, however, 
 peculiar to the English ; for Beza complains in his country : 
 " Hinc enim fit ut in GraecSl oiatione vel nullum, vel prorsua 
 corruptum numerum intelligas, dum multES breves produ- 
 cuntur, et contra plurima; longs corripiuntur." — Beza de 
 Germ. Pron. Qr(&a& LinffWB, p. 50.

 mony of the language, of which accent is the efficient. We have also pretty full information, from 
 the poets, what syllables ought to have a long, and what a short quantity. To preserve, then, in 
 our pronunciation, the true harmony of the language, we have only to take care to give the vowels 
 a long sound or a short sound, as the quantity may require, and, when doubled consonants occur, 
 to pronounce each distinctly." Ihid. p. 228.* 
 
 In answer to this plea for alteration, it may be observed, that, if this mode of pronouncing Latin 
 be that of foreign nations, and were really so superior to our own, we certainly must perceive it in 
 the pronunciation of foreigners, when we visit them, or they us. But I think I may appeal to the 
 experience of every one who has had an opportunity of making the experiment, that, bo far from 
 the superiority on the side of the foreign pronunciation, it seems much inferior to our own. I am 
 aware of the power of habit, and of its being able, ore many occasions, to make the worse appear the 
 better reason; but, if the harmony of the Latin language depended so much on a preservation of 
 the quantity as many pretend, this harmony would surely overcome the bias we have to our own 
 pronunciation, especially if our own were really so destructive of harmony as it is said to be. Till, 
 therefore, we have a more accurate idea of the nature of quantity, and of that beauty and harmony 
 of which it is said to be the efficient in the pronunciation of Latin, we ought to preserve a pronun- 
 ciation which has naturally sprung up in our own soil, and is congenial to our native language. 
 Besides, an alteration of this kind would be attended with so much dispute and uncertainty, as must 
 make it highly impolitic to attempt it. 
 
 The analogy, then, of our own language being the rule for pronouncing the learned languages, 
 we shall have little occasion for any other directions for the pronunciation of the Greek and Latin 
 proper names, than such as are given for the pronunciation of English words. The genera] rules 
 are followed almost without exception. The first and most obvious powers of the letters are 
 adopted, and there is scarcely any difficulty but in the position of the accent ; and this depends so 
 much on the quantity of the vowels, that we need only inspect a dictionary to find the quantity of 
 the penultimate vowel, and this determines the accent of all the Latin words ; and, it may be added, 
 of almost all Greek words likewise. t Now, in our pronunciation of Latin words, whatever be the 
 quantity of the first syllable in a word of two syllables, we always place the accent on it ; but in 
 words of more syllables, if the penultimate be long, we place the accent on that ; and if short, we 
 accent the antepenultimate. 
 
 The rules of the Latin Accentuation are comprised, in a clear and concise manner, by Sanctius 
 within four hexameters : 
 
 "Accentum in se ipsa monosyllaba dictio ponit. 
 Ezacuit sedem dissyllabon omne priorem. 
 Ex tribus, extollit primam penultima curta: 
 £xtollit se ipsam quando est penultima longa." 
 
 These rules I have endeavored to express in English verse : 
 
 Each monosyllable has stress of course : 
 Words of two syllables the first enforce : 
 A syllable that's long, and last but one, 
 Must have the accent upon that or none ; 
 But, if this syllable be short, the stress 
 Must on the last but two its force express. 
 
 The only difierence that seems to obtain between the pronunciation of the Greek and Latin lan- 
 guages is, that, in the Latin, ti and si, preceded by an accent, and followed by another vowel form- 
 ing an improper diphthong, are pronounced, as in English, like sh or zh ; as, natio, nation ; persuasio, 
 persuasion, &c. ; and that, in the Greek, the same letters retain their pure sound, as (pUavria, 
 ayvmala, n^o^iriov, x. r. i..t This difference, however, with very few exceptions, does not extend 
 
 * By what this learned author has observed of our 
 vicious pronunciation of the vowels, by the long and short 
 Bound of them, and from the instances be has given, he 
 must mean that length and shortness which arise from 
 extending and contracting them, independently of the ob- 
 stniction which two consonants are supposed to occasion 
 in forming the long quantity. Thus we are to pronounce 
 manua as if written and divided into Tjian-nus ; and yannus 
 as if written pay-nua, or as we always hear the word panis, 
 (bread ;) for in this sound of pannus there seems to be no 
 necessity for pronouncing the two consonants distinctly, or 
 separately, which he seems to mean by distinctly, because 
 the quantity is shown by the long sound of the vowel ; but 
 if by distinctly he means separately, — that is, as if what 
 
 is called in French the sch^a, or mute e, were to follow the 
 first consonant, — this could not be done without adding a 
 syllable to the word ; and the word pannus would in that 
 case certainly have three syllables, as if written pan^eh-nus. 
 — See Observadana on the Qreek and Latin Accent and QuaTi- 
 fiti/, sect. 24. 
 
 t That is, in the general pronunciation of Greek ; for, 
 let the written accent be placed where it will, the quantita- 
 tive accent, as it may be called, follows the analogy of the 
 Latin. 
 
 X " The Greek language," says the learned critic, " was 
 happy in not being understood by the Goths, who would 
 as certainly have corrupted the t in airia, (briov, Sec, into 
 aiaia, Cjoiov, &c., as they did in the Latin motio and doceo

 to proper names, which, coming to us through, and being mingled with, the Latin, fall into the 
 general rule. In the same manner, though in Greek it was an established maxim, that, if the last 
 syllable were long, the accent could scarcely be higher than the penultimate, yet, in our pronun- 
 ciation of Greek, and particularly of proper names, the Latin analogy of the accent is adopted ; 
 and, though the last syllable is long in Demosthenes^ Aristophanes, Theramenes, and Deiphobe, yet, as 
 the penultimate is short, the accent is placed on the antepenultimate, exactly as if they were Latin. t 
 
 As these languages have been long dead, they admit of no new varieties of accent, like the living 
 languages. The common accentuation of Greek and Latin may be seen in Lexicons and Graduses ; 
 and where the ancients indulged a variety, and the moderns are divided in their opinions about the 
 most classical accentuation of words, it would be highly improper, in a work intended for general 
 use, to enter into the thorny disputes of the learned ; and it may l)e truly said, in the rhyming adage, 
 
 "When doctors disagree, 
 Disciples then are free." 
 
 This, however, has not been entirely neglected. "Where there has been any considerable diver- 
 sity of accentuation among our prosodists, I have consulted the best authorities, and have some- 
 times ventured to decide ; though, as Labbe says, " Sed his de rebus, ut aliis multis, malo doctiorum 
 judicium expectare, quam meant in medium prof erre sententiam," 
 
 But the most important object of the present work is settling the English quantity, (see Rules 20, 
 21, 22,) with which we pronounce Greek and Latin proper names, and the sounds of some of the 
 consonants. These are points in a state of great uncertainty, and are to be settled, not so much 
 by a deep knowledge of the dead languages, as by a thorough acquaintance with the analogies and 
 general usage of our own tongue. These must, in the nature of things, enter largely into the pro- 
 nunciation of a dead language ; and it is from an attention to these, that the author hopes he has 
 given to the public a work not entirely unworthy of their acceptance. 
 
 [tf^ There is unquestionably much sound sense and solid argument in the remarks contained in our author's Introduction ; 
 and the affectation with which the Greek and Latin languages are sometimes pronounced is, to say the least, extremely 
 ridiculous. At the same time, it would not be amiss to adopt some uniform mode of pronunciation, by which the true 
 quantity of the words, and some portion, at least, of their ancient character, might be retained. The chief defect in the 
 English pronunciation consists In the false analogy of the vowel sounds, and the corrupt inflection of the consonants 
 Cj g, 8, t, before some of the vowels. This cannot, of course, be remedied, without departing, in some slight degree, 
 from the general rules of our own language j but, if no sounds were introduced but those which are familiar to an English 
 ear, though not perfectly in accordance with the usage of the English tongue, the trifling appearance of harshness or 
 formality, which a closer approximation to the correct pronunciation might possess, would gradually wear away, and be 
 amply compensated by its greater accuracy. Now, in order to attain this end, it will only be necessary to affix to each 
 vowel its distinctive long and short quantity, and to confine the above-named consonants invariably to the same sound. 
 The precise rules for pronouncing these letters will be given in their proper places j without interfering, however, with 
 those of Mr. Walker, which, with the exception alluded to, are clear, correct, and explicit, and, for those who prefer to 
 adhere to the English pronunciation, the best, without any exception, that can be adopted. — Thollope.] 
 
 into moshio and doaheo.^^* This, however, may be ques- 
 tioned ; for if, in Latin words, this impure sound oft takes 
 place only in those words where the accent is on the pre- 
 ceding vowel, as in natio.fado, &c., but not when the ac- 
 cent follows the tj and is on the following vowel, as in 
 satietasj societast &c., why should we suppose any other 
 mode of pronunciation would have been adopted by the 
 Goths in their pronouncing the Greek ? Now, no rule of 
 pronunciation is more uniform, in the Greek language, than 
 that which places an acute on the iota at the end of words, 
 when this letter is succeeded by a long vowel ; and con- 
 sequently, if the accent be preserved upon the proper letter, 
 it is impossible the preceding t and s should go into the 
 sound of sh. Why, therefore, may we not suppose that the 
 very frequent accentuation of the penultimate £ before a 
 final vowel preserved the preceding r from going into the 
 sound of sA, as it was a difference of accentuation that oc- 
 casioned this impure sound of t in the Latin language ? 
 For though i, at the end of words, when followed by a 
 long vowel, or a vowel once long and afterwards contracted, 
 bad always the accent on it in Greek, in Latin the accent 
 was always on the preceding syllable in words of this ter- 
 mination ; and hence seems to have arisen the corruption 
 of t in the Gothic pronunciation of the Latin language. 
 
 It is highly probable, that, in Lucian'a time, the Greek r, 
 when followed by i and another vowel, had not assumed 
 the sound of o-; for the sigma would not have failed to 
 accuse him of a usurpation of her powers, as he had done 
 of her character ; and, if we have preserved the t pure in 
 this situation when we pronounce Greek, it is, perhaps, 
 rather to be placed to the preserving power of the accented 
 ( in so great a number of words, than any adherence to 
 
 * Afnswortb on the Ielt«r T, 
 
 the ancient rules of pronunblatioti, which invariably af- 
 firm that the consonants had but one sound ; unless we 
 except the y before yj k, Xt Vj ^ ayyeXos, &yKvpa, &yxioTa, 
 K. T. A., where the y is sounded like v. But this, says Henry 
 Stephens, is an error of the copyists, who have a little ex- 
 tended the bottom of the r, and made a y of it ; for, says 
 he, it is ridiculous to suppose that v was changed into y, and 
 at the same time that y should be pronounced like i>. On 
 the contrary, Scaliger says, that where we find a v before 
 these letters, as avKvpa, it is an error of the copyists, who 
 imagined they better expressed the pronunciation by this 
 letter, which, as Vossius observes, should seem to demand 
 something particular and uncommon. 
 
 It is reported of Scaliger, that, when he was accosted by 
 a Scotchman in Latin, he begged his pardon for not under- 
 standing him, as he had never learned the Scotch language. 
 If this were the CEise with the pronunciation of a Scotch- 
 man, which is so near that of the continent, what would 
 he have said to the Latin pronunciation of an Englishman ? 
 I take it, however, that this diversity is greatly exaggerated. 
 
 t This, however, was contrary to the general practice of 
 the Romans ; for Victorinus, in his Grammar, says, " OrtBca 
 Tiomma, si iisdem Uteris proferuntur, (Latin6 versa,) Ormcos 
 accentus hdbebunt : nam cum dicimus T/i/yas, JVais, 3LCMtu.m 
 habebit posterior accentum ; et cum TTiemiatiOj Calypso, 
 Theano, ultimam circumflecti videbimus, quod utrumque 
 Latinus sermo non patitur, nisi admodum raro." " If Greek 
 nouns turned into Latin are pronounced with the same let- 
 ters, they have the Greek accent ; for, when we say Thyas, 
 JVais, the latter syllable has the acute accent ; and when we 
 pronounce Themistio^ Calypso^ Tkeano, we see the last sylla- 
 ble is circumflexed j neither of which is ever seen in Latin 
 words, or very rarely." — Serviue. Forster. Reply, p. 31, 
 J^otes 32, bott. 
 
RULES 
 
 FOR PRONOUNCING THE VOWELS OF 
 
 GREEK AND LATIN PROPER NAMES 
 
 1. Every vowel with the accent on it, at the end 
 of a syllable, is pronounced, as in English, with its 
 first long, open sound. Thus Ca'to^* Philome'la, 
 Ori'on.j JPJio'don, Lu'cifer, &c., have the accented 
 vowels sounded exactly as in the English words pa'per, 
 me'tre, spi'der, no'ble, tu'tor, &c. 
 
 2. Every accented vowel, not ending a syllable, but 
 followed by a consonant, has the short sound, as in 
 English. Thus Man'liuSj Pen'theus, Pin'darus, CoV- 
 chisj Cur'tius, &c., have the short sound of the ac- 
 cented vowels, as in man'ner, plen'ty, prin'ter, col'lar, 
 Cur'feWj &c. 
 
 3. Every final z, though unaccented, has the long, 
 open sound. Thus the final i, forming the genitive 
 case, as in magis'tri, or the plural number, as in De'di, 
 has the long, open sound, as in vi'al; and this sound 
 we give to this vowel, in this situation, because the 
 Latin i final, in genitives, plurals, and preterperfect 
 tenses of verbs, is always longj and consequently, 
 where the accented i is followed by i final, both are 
 pronounced with the long diphthongal i, like the noun 
 eye, as Achi'vi.\ 
 
 4. Every unaccented i, ending a syllable not final, as 
 that in the second of Alcibiades, the Hemid, &c., is 
 pronounced like e, ^: as if written Alcebiades, the Her' 
 ned, &c. So the last syllable but one of the Fabii, 
 the Horatii, the Curiatii, &c., is pronounced as if 
 written Fa-be-i, Ho-ra^she-i, Cu-re-a^she-i ; § and there- 
 fore, if the unaccented i, and the diphthong «, con- 
 
 * This pronunciation of Cato, Plato, Cleopatra, &c., has 
 been but latelv adopted. Cluin, and all tbe old dramatic 
 school, used to pronounce the a^ in these and similar words, 
 like the a in father. Mr. Garnck, with great good sense, 
 as well as good taste, brought in the present pronunciation, 
 and the propriety of it has made it now universal. 
 
 t This is the true analogical pronunciation of this letter 
 when ending an accented syllable ; but a most disgraceful 
 affectation of foreign pronunciation has exchanged this full 
 diphthongal sound for the meagre, squeezed sound of the 
 French and Italian i, not only in almost every word derived 
 from those languages, but in many which are purely Latin ; 
 as, Faustina, Messalina, &c. Nay, words frorn^ the Saxon 
 have been eqnaJly perverted, and we hear the i in Wfrida, 
 Edwina, Sec, turned into Elfreeda, Edweena, &c. It is true 
 this is the sound the Romans gave to their i; [This is by no 
 means certain. — Trollofe.1 but the speakers here alluded 
 to are perfectly innocent of this, and do not pronounce it in 
 this manner for its antiquity, but its novelty. 
 
 X [This arises from the more rapid pronunciation of the 
 vowel, which is short. — Troixope.]

 final diphthong. — Trollope,]

 elude a word, they are both pronounced J ike e, I| as 
 HarpyiiB, Har-^'e-e. 
 
 5. The diphthongs ts and ff, ending a syllable with 
 the accent on it, are pronounced exactly like the long 
 English c, as dBsar, CEta, &c., as if written Cee'sar, 
 E'ta, &c. ; and like the short c, when followed by a 
 consonant in the same syllable, as DadeiLus, CEdipuSj 
 &c.,Tr pronounced as if viTitten DeddahtSj Eddipus, 
 &c. The vowels ei are generally pronounced like 
 long i. ** For the vowels eu, in final syllables, see the 
 word Idomeneds ; and for the ou in the same syllables, 
 see the word Antinous, and similar words, in the Ter- 
 minational Vocabulary. 
 
 6. Y is exactly under the same predicament as i. It 
 is long when ending an accented syllable, as Cy'rus s 
 or when ending an unaccented syllable, if final, as 
 ui^'gy, j^'py, &c. ; short when joined to a consonant 
 in the same syllable, as Lyc'idas ; and sometimes long 
 and sometimes short when ending an initial syllable 
 not under the accent, as Ly-cur'gus, pronounced with 
 the first syllable like lie, a falsehood j and Lysimachvs, 
 with the first syllable like the first of legiofij or near- 
 ly as if divided into Lys-dm'a-chus, &c. 
 
 7. A, ending an unaccented syllable, has the same 
 obscure sound as in the same situation in English 
 words ; but it is a sound bordering on the Italian a, 
 or the a in fa-ther, as Dia'na, where the difference be- 
 tween the accented and unaccented a is palpable. 
 
 8. E final, either with or without the preceding 
 
 IT [This is certainly incorrect. Diphthongs are pronounced 
 long wherever they occur ; as, Deedalus, Eedipus, &c. The 
 Latins doubtlessly distinguished between the sound of (8 and 
 ffl, as the Greeks between the corresponding diphthongs ai 
 and ai : but this diiference cannot be readily accommodated 
 to the English pronunciation. — Teollope.] 
 
 [It may be said, that, in Greek and Latin poetry, diph- 
 thongs are always regarded as long; but it surely cannot be 
 said, with truth, that in English they are always " pro- 
 nounced long, wherever they occur." Various other ortho- 
 epists adhere to the rule which Walker adopts in relation 
 to the pronunciation of these diphthongs ; and general 
 usage, among good speakers, is in accordance with it. 
 And this, not only in proper names : tbe diphthong in the 
 word assafoBtida, for example, is pronounced like short c, 
 both by the ortho^pists and by general usage. — Editor.] 
 
 ** See Elegda, Hygeia, &c., in the Terminational Vocab- 
 ulary of Greek and Latin Proper Names. [The statement of 
 Walker, that "the vowels ei are generally pronounced like 
 i lon^," is not in accordance with his remarks in his notes 
 relatmgto the terminations m and ems, in the Termination- 
 al Vocabulary. In these notes, he decides in favor of placing 
 the accent on the e, and permitting the i, as y consonant, to 
 articulate the succeeding vowel ; as, Elre-ge'ia, (el-e-je'ya.)

850 RULES FOR PRONOUNCING GREEK AND LATIN PROPER NAMES. 
 
 consonant, always forms a distinct syllable ; as, Penel- 
 ope, Hippocrene, Evoe, Amphitrite, &c. When any 
 Greek or Latin word is Anglicized into this termina- 
 tion, by cutting off a syllable of the original, it be- 
 comes then an English word, and is pronounced ac- 
 cording to our own analogy. Thus AcidaliuSf altered 
 to Acidale, has the final e sunk, and is a word of three 
 syllables only 5 Proserpine, from Proserpina, under- 
 goes the same alteration. Thebes and Athens, derived 
 from the Greek O^^ai and 'A&!jvai, and the Latin 
 Theba and Athena, are perfectly Anglicized ; the former 
 into a monosyllable, and the latter into a dissyllable ; and 
 the Greek Kqtjrtj and the Latin Creta have both sunk 
 into the English monosyllable Crete. Hecate, likewise 
 pronounced in three syllables when Latin, and in the 
 same namber in the Greek word 'Exirti, in English is 
 universally contracted into two, by sinking the final 
 e. Shakspeare seems to have begun, as he has now 
 confirmed, this pronunciation, by so adapting the word 
 in "Macbeth": 
 
 "Why, how now, Hecat'? you look angerly." — .^ct IV. 
 Perhaps this was no more than a poetical license to 
 him; but the actors have adopted it in the songs in 
 this tragedy : 
 
 " He-cate, He-cate, come away." 
 
 And the play-going world, who form no small portion 
 of what is called the better sort of people, have fol- 
 lowed the actors in this word, and the rest of the world 
 have followed them. 
 
 The Roman mE^strate, named tedUis, is Anglicized 
 by pronouncing it in two syllables, te'dile. The capi- 
 tal of Sicily, Syraaisa, of four syllables, is made three 
 in the English Syr'acuse; and the city of Tyrus, of 
 two syllables, is reduced to a monosyllable in the 
 English Tyre. 
 
 Rules for Pronouncing the Consonants of Greek 
 and Latin Proper Names. 
 
 9. C and G are hard before a, 0, and u ; as, Cato, 
 Comvs, Cures, Galba, Gorgon, &c. ; and soft before e, 
 i, and y; as, Cebes, Scipio, ScyUa, Cinna, Geryon, 
 Geta, GiUvs, Gyges, GymnosophisttB, &c.* 
 
 10. T, 8, and C,+ before ia, ie, ii, io, iu, and eu, 
 
 * That this general rule should be violated by smatterers 
 in the learned languages, in such words as gymnastic, Aet- 
 erogeneous, &c., is not to be wondered at ; but that men of 
 real learning, who do not want to show themselves off to 
 the vulgar by such innuendoes of their erudition, should give 
 in to this irregularity, is really surprising. We laugh at the 
 pedantry of the age of James I., where there is scarcely a 
 page in any English book that is not sprinkled with twenty 
 Greek and Latin quotations, and yet do not see the similar 
 pedantry of interlarding our pronunciation with Greek and 
 Latin sounds, which may be atbrmed to be a greater per- 
 version of our language than the former. In the one case, 
 the introduction of Greek and Latin quotations does not in- 
 terfere with the English phraseology ; but, in the other, the 
 pronunciation is disturbed, and a motley jargon of sounds 
 introduced, as inconsistent with true taste as it is with 
 neatness and uniformity. 
 
 [This censure is more severe than just. It is certain 
 that these consonants were uniformly pronounced hard, by 
 the Latins, before all the vowels indifferently ; c like k, and 
 g like the English g in gun. This is proved with respect to 
 c by the Greek writers, who always spell Latin names in 
 which it occurs with ft; as Koc^pwv, Sxirrtui/, for Cicero, 
 Scipio. On the other hand, the Romans express the Greek 
 ft by c; as Cimon for Ki>cuy. Hence Ctuintilian observes, 
 C eat litera, quai ad omnes vocalee vim snam perferat. The 
 hard sound of g is also apparent from words derived from 
 the Greek, where y is always represented by g ; and that 
 the analogy of sound is strictly preserved, is especially man- 
 ifest in such words as angelus, from the Greek &yy£\os. In 
 these words, the first y was always pronounced like 1/ ; and, 
 
 preceded by the accent, in Latin words, as in English, 
 change into sh and zh; as, Tatian, Statius, Portius, 
 Portia, Sosius, Caduceus, Accius, Heh>etii, MBsia, 
 Hedod, &c., pronounced Tashean, Stasheus, Porshewi, 
 Porshea, Soshem, Cadusheus, Aksheua, Helveshd, Me- 
 zhea, Hezheod, &c. But when the accent is on the 
 first of the diphthongal vowels, the preceding consonant 
 does not go into sh, but preserves its sound pure ; as, 
 Miltiades, Antiates, &c. 
 
 11. r, S, and C, in proper names ending in tia, sia, 
 cyan, and sum, preceded by the accent, are changed 
 into sh and zh. Thus Phocion, Sicyon, and Cercyon, 
 are pronounced exactly in our own analogy, as if 
 written Phosheon, Sisheon, and Sersheon; Artemisia 
 and Aspasiji sound as if written Artemizhea and Aspa- 
 zhea; Galatia, Aratia, Alalia, and Batia, as if written 
 Galashea, Arashea, Aloshea, and Bashea; and, if Atia, 
 the town in Campania, is not so pronounced, it is to 
 distinguish it from Asia, the eastern region of the 
 world. But the termination tion (of which there are 
 not even twenty examples in proper names throughout 
 the whole Greek and Latin languages) seems to pre- 
 serve the * from going into sh, as the last remnant of 
 a learned pronunciation, and to avoid, as much as pos- 
 sible, assimilating with so vulgar an English termina- 
 tion. Thus, though ^sion, lasion, Dionymm, change 
 the « into z, as if written ^zion, lazion, DumysAon, 
 the z does not become zh; but Philistion, Gration, 
 Eurytion, Androtion, Hippotion, Iphition, Omylion, 
 Metion, Polytion, Stration, Sotion, PtMantion, .^tion, 
 Harpocration, and Antphictyon, preserve the i in its 
 true sound. Hepheestion, however, from the frequency 
 of appearing with Alexander, has deserted the small 
 class of his Greek companions, and joined the English 
 multitude, by rhyming with question; and Tatian and 
 Theodotion seem perfectly Anglicized. With very, 
 very few exceptions, therefore, it may be concluded that 
 Greek and Latin proper names are pronounced alike, 
 and that both of them follow the analogy of English 
 pronunciation. 
 
 12. Ch. These letters, before a vowel, are always 
 pronounced like k; as, Chabrias, CoUMs, &c. ; but, 
 when they come before a mute consonant, at the be- 
 ginning of a word, as in ChtJumia, they are mute, and 
 the word is pronounced as if written Thonia. Words 
 
 as this sound is preserved in the Latin by a change of let- 
 ter, it follows that the g, which represents the second y, 
 agrees with it in sound also. Since, therefore, the true pro- 
 nunciation of these letters, c and g, corresponds with their 
 English pronunciation before certain vowels, there is no 
 great violence done to the harmony of language by adopt- 
 
 mg it, in Latin proper names, before all Thollope.] 
 
 f [The uniform and single sound of c has been noted in 
 the note on the preceding rule ; that of s and t were doubt- 
 less also single and uniform. That s had but one sound, 
 like that of the English in sun, is evident from the Greek 
 usage of the letter, and from the silence of all the old gram- 
 marians as to any variety in its pronunciation, — a remark 
 which, by the way, will apply to all the consonants gener- 
 ally. With respect to t, the only difficulty regards the syl- 
 lable ti, when followed by a vowel, as in the examples 
 given in the rule. There is no doubt that ti was always 
 pronounced alike by the Latins, whatever was the place of 
 the accent ; so that it was the same in Miltiades and Tatian, 
 except that in the former it was limg, and in the latter short, 
 and therefore uttered with greater rapidity. This is evi- 
 dent from words common both to the Greeks and Romans, 
 with the former of whom the pronunciation of tl never va- 
 ries. In Latin names, also, the Greeks always retain the 
 same letters, and vice versit. Thus we have Ti'tios, TiUus ; 
 and TleafftyvfTiav &eav, Pessinunliam Deam, Herod, i. 11. 
 It does not appear, indeed, that any sound like sh or zh was 
 known to the Romans ; nor is it likely that they pronounced 
 the same letter differently in declining the same word ; as, 
 nom. pi. artes, gen. arshium, dat. artibus, &c. These obser- 
 vations are equally applicable to the next rule. — Tedlmpe.] 
 
RUL.es for pronouncing greek and latin proper names. 851 
 
 beginning with sctie, as Schedius, Scheria, &o., are 
 pronounced as if written Sfcedius, SkeriUf &C.5 and c 
 before n, in the Latin pra^nomen CneiLSj or Ctusus, is 
 mute ; bo in CTwpus, Cnossus, &c., and before t in 
 Cteatus, and g before n in Gnidus, — pronounced 
 Nopus, Nossus, Teattis, and Nidus* 
 
 13. At the beginning of Greek words, we frequently 
 find the uncombinable consonants mn, tm, &c. ; as, 
 Mnemosyne, Mnesidamua, Mneus, Mnesieus, Tmolus, 
 &c. These are to be pronounced with the first conso- 
 nant mute, as if written Nemosyne, Nesidamus, Neiis, 
 NesteuSj Mohts, &c., in the same manner as we pro- 
 nounce the words Bdellium, P-neumatic, Gnomon, 
 Mnemonics, &c., without the initial consonant. The 
 same may be observed of tlie c hard like k, when it 
 comes before t, as Ctesiphon, Ctesippus, &c. Some 
 of these words we see sometimes written with an e or 
 i after the first consonant, as Menesteus, Timohis, &c., 
 and then the initial consonant is pronounced. 
 
 14. Ph, followed by a consonant, is mute ; as, PhtJiia, 
 Phthioiis, pronounced Tina, Thioiis, in the same man- 
 ner as the naturalized Greek word Phtlmic, pro- 
 nounced Tisic. 
 
 15. Ps : — p is mute also in this combination, as in 
 Psyche, Psammetichus, dtc, pronounced Syke, Sam- 
 meliais, &c. 
 
 16. Pt : — p is mute in words beginning with these 
 letters, when followed by a vowel 5 as, Ptolemy, Pteri- 
 las, &c., pronounced Tolemy, Terilas, &c. ; but, when 
 followed by I, the t is heard, as in Tleptolemus; for, 
 though we have no words of our own with these initial 
 consonants, we have many words that end with them, 
 and they are certainly pronounced. The same may be 
 observed of the z in Zmilaces. 
 
 17. The letters s, x, and 2;, require but little obser- 
 vation, being generally pronounced as in pure English 
 words. It may, however, be remarked, that s, at the 
 end of words, preceded by any of the vowels but c, 
 has its pure hissing sound 5 as, wms, dis, as, mus, &c. ; t 
 but, when e precedes, it goes into the sound of z; as, 
 pes, Tkersites, vales, &c. It may also be observed, 
 that, when it ends a word preceded by r or n, it has the 
 sound of z. Thus the letter s, in mens. Mars, mors, 
 &c., has the same sound as in the English words hens, 
 stars, wars, &.c. X, when beginning a word or sylla- 
 ble, is pronounced like z; as, Xerxes, Xen^hon, &c., 
 are pronounced Zerkzes, Zenophon, &c. Z is uni- 
 formly pronounced as in English words. Thus the z 
 in .^£710 and Zeugtnu is pronounced as we hear it in 
 zeal, zone, &c.

 syllables, vrith but one consonant in the middle, what- 
 
 * [These letters are not aisolvtehi mute, being accompa- 
 nied with a small guttural tone, sufficient to Indicate their 
 effect upon the pronunciation. So in the next rule, the 
 remark at the end of which proves that the guttural sound 
 was so as to have nearly the same effect as the insertion of 
 a vowel. Kulea 14, 15, 16, are subject to the same remark. 
 The word Tleptolemus, in Rule 16, can hardly be considered 
 of the same class. — Trollofe.] 
 
 t [Not only so, but in all cases, as before remarked ; 
 neither with e, r, or n preceding, is s necessarily pronounced 
 like I. — TsoLLOPi.] 
 
 t The only word occurring to me, at present, where this 
 rule is not observed, is canon, a rule, which is always pro- 
 nounced like the word cannem, a piece of ordnance. 
 
 [Considerable difference, however, was made by the 
 Romans between the long and short vowels, by pronouncing 
 the latter more rapidly than the former. Probably a kind 
 
 ever be the quantity of the vowel in the first syllable 
 in Greek or Latin, we always make it long in English. 
 Thus Crates, the philosopher, and crates, a, hurdle 3 
 decus, honor, and dedo, to give ; ovo, to triumph, and 
 ovum, an egg ; Numa, the legislator, and Nvmen, the 
 divinity, have the first vowel always sounded equally 
 long by an English speaker, although, in Latin, the 
 first vowel in the first word of each of these pairs is 
 short, f 
 
 19. On the contrary, words of three syllables, with 
 the accent on the first, and with but one consonant 
 after the first syllable, have that syllable pronounced 
 short, let the Greek or Latin quantity be what it will. 
 Thus regulus and remora, mimicm and minium, are 
 heard with the first vowel short in English pronun- 
 ciation, though the first word of each pair has its first 
 syllable long in Latin; and the «, in fumigo and 
 fugito, is pronounced long in both words, though in 
 Latin the last u is short. This rule is never broken 
 but when the first syllable is followed by c or i, fol- 
 lowed by another vowel : in this case, the vowel in the 
 iirst syllable is long, except that vowel be i. Thus 
 lamia, genius, Libya, doceo, cupio, have the accent on 
 the first syllable, and this syllable is pronounced long 
 in every word but Libya, though in the original it is 
 equally short in all. 
 
 20. It must have frequently occurred to those who 
 instruct youth, that, though the quantity of the ac- 
 cented syllable of long proper names has been easily 
 conveyed, yet that the quantity of the preceding un- 
 accented syllables has occasioned some embarrassment. 
 An appeal to the laws of our own language would soon 
 have removed the perplexity, and enabled us to pro- 
 nounce the initial unaccented syllables with as much 
 decision as the others. Thus every accented antepe- 
 nultimate vowel but u, even when followed by one 
 consonant only, is, in our pronunciation of Latin, as 
 well as in English, short. Thus Jbinda, separo, diligo, 
 nobUis, cucumis, have the first vowels pronounced as 
 in the English words capital, celebrate, simony, solitude, 
 luciitent, in direct opposition to the Latin quantity, 
 which makes every antepenultimate vowel, in all these 
 words but the last, long; and this we pronounce long, 
 though short in Latin. But, if a semi-consonant diph- 
 thong succeed, then every such vowel is long but i 
 in our pronunciation of both languages ; and Euganeus, 
 Eugenia, JUius, folium, dubia, have the vowel in the 
 antepenultimate syllable pronounced exactly as in the 
 English words satiate, menial, delirious, jiofonous, pC' 
 nurious ; though they are all short in Latin but the i, 
 which we pronounce short, though in the Latin it is long. 
 
 21. The same rule of quantity takes place in those 
 syllables which have the secondary accent; for, as 
 we pronounce lamentation, demonstration, diminution, 
 domination, lucubration, with every vowel in the first 
 syllable short but u, so we pronounce the same vowels 
 
 of double emphasis was placed upon the long vowels, which 
 the English pronunciation does not recognize. We make 
 no difference, for instance, in the sound of the verb mcror, 
 whether it signifies to delm/, or to be foolish. In the first 
 signification it is short, in the latter long; and that the 
 Romans marked this difference in their pronunciation, is 
 evident from the sarcasm of Nero, pointed against his pred- 
 ecessor Claudius, Suet. Ner. 33: Morari mm inter hojiunes 
 desiisse, product& ayUab^ prim&. The anomaly would be re- 
 moved by regularly pronouncing the long vowels as in the 
 English words tame, scene, loine, bane, tune, and the short 
 ones as in can, send, win, bond, tun, added to the single sound 
 of the consonant already described. The application of this 
 rule to the examples produced in the following sections, if 
 the quantity of the syllables be duly attended to, will suf- 
 ficiently prove the advantages arising from this method of 
 pronunciation. — Trollope.] 
 
852 RULES FOR PRONOUNCING GREEK AND LATIN PROPER NAMES. 
 
 in the same manner in lamentatio, demonatratio, dimi- 
 mitio, dominatio, and lucubratw ; but, if a semi-conBO- 
 nant diphthong Bucceed the secondary accent, as in 
 Ariovistxis, Heliodorus, GaUnianus, Herodiamis, and 
 VohisianuSf every vowel preceding the diphthong ie 
 long but i, just as -we should pronounce these vowels 
 in the English words amiability, medicUorial, propitia- 
 ticn, excoHationf eenturiatoTj &c. 
 
 22. But, to reduce these rules into a smaller compass, 
 that they may be more easily comprehended and re- 
 membered, it may be .observed, that, as we always 
 shorten every antepenultimate vowel with the primary 
 accent but u, unless followed by a semi-consonant 
 diphthong, though this antepenultimate vowel is often 
 long in Greek and Latin, as ^schylus, ^schinea, &.C., 
 and the antepenultimate i, even though it be followed 
 by Buch a diphthong, as JSleminia, Ocrisia, &c., so we 
 shorten the first syllable of ^sculapiita, .^Unobarbus,* 
 &c., because the first syllable of both these words has 
 the secondary accent; but we pronounce the same 
 vowels long in .Ethiopia, jEgUdeus, JJaZiartm, &c., 
 because this accent is followed by a semi-consonant 
 diphthong. 
 
 23. This rule sometimes holds good, where a mute 
 and liquid intervene, and determines the first syllable 
 of Adrian, Adriatic, &c., to be long, like day, and 
 not short, like add; and it is on this analogical division 
 of the words, so little understood or attended to, that 
 a perfect and a consistent pronunciation of them de- 
 pends. It is this analogy that determines the first u to 
 be long in stupidue, and the y short in dypea, though 
 both are short in the Latin, and the o, in the first sylla- 
 ble of Coriolamis, which is short in Latin, to be long 
 in English. 
 
 24. The necessity of attending to the quantity of the 
 Towel in the accented syllable has sometimes produced 
 a division of words in the following vocabulary that 
 does not seem to convey the actual pronunciatxon.t 
 Thus the words Svlpitius, Anidv/m, Artemisium, &c., 
 being divided into Sul^t'i-us, A-nic'i^um, Ar-te-mia'i- 
 um, &c., we fancy the syllable after the accent deprived 
 of a consonant closely tmited with it in sound, and 
 which, from such a union, derives an aspirated sound 
 equivalent to sA. But, as the sound of *, c, or », in 
 this situation, is so generally underBtood, it was thought 
 more eligible to divide the words in this manner, than 
 into 8vl-pi'ti-vs, A-m'd-^m, Ar-te-mi'si^m, as, in the 
 latter mode, the i wants its shortening consonant, and 
 might, by some speakers, be pronounced, as it gener- 
 ally is in Scotland, like ee. The same may be observed 
 of c and g, when they end a syllable, and are followed 
 by e or i, as in Ac-e-ra'tus, Ac-^da'Ura, Tig-el-Wnus, 
 Teg'y^a, &c., where, the c and g ending a syllable, 
 we, at first sight, think them to have their hard sound; 
 but, by observing the succeeding vowel, we soon per- 
 ceive them to be soft, and only made to end a syllable 
 in order to determine the shortness of the vowel which 
 precedes. 
 
 25. The generalrule,therefore, of quantity indicated 
 by the syllabication adopted in the Vocabulary is, that, 
 when a consonant ej>ds a syllable, the vowel is always 
 short, whether the accent be on it or not ; and that, 
 when a vowel ends a syllable with the accent on it, it

 universally, which may be done without any violence to 
 the ear of an Englishman., — Teollope. See note, p. 
 849 Editob.] 
 
 t [This is not th^ case, if the correct method of pro- 
 nunciation is adopted. — Tbollofe.] 
 
 ± [Not according to the above method. — Teollope.] 
 
 $ [There is no doubt, as before observed, that the Lat- 
 
 is always long; j: that the vowel «, when it ends a syl- 
 lable, is long, whether the accent be on it or not ; and 
 that the vowel i, (3) (4) when it ends a syllable without 
 the accent, is pronounced like e ; but, if the syllable 
 be final, it has its long, open sound, as if the accent 
 were on it; and the same may be observed of the 
 letter y. 
 
 « 
 
 Rides for Placing the Accent of Greek wnd Latin 
 Proper Jfames. 
 
 26. Words of two syllables, either Greek or Latin, 
 whatever be the quantity in the original, have, in Eng- 
 lish pronunciation, the accent on the first syllable; 
 and, if a single consonant come between two vowels, 
 the consonant goes to the last syllable, and the vowel 
 in the first is long; as, Cato, Ceres, Comus, fccj 
 
 27. Polysyllables, adopted whole, from the Greek or 
 Latin, into English, have generally the accent of the 
 Latin ; that is, if the penultimate be long, the accent 
 is on it ; as, Severus, Democedes, &c. ; if short, the ac- 
 cent is on the antepenultimate; as, Demosthenes, Aris- 
 tophanes, Postkumus, &c. — See Ibtroduction. 
 
 28. Wiien Greek or Latin proper names are Angli- 
 cized, either by an alteration of the letters, or by cutting 
 off the latter syllables, the accent of the original, as in 
 appellatives under the same predicament, is transferred 
 nearer to the beginning of the word. Thus Proser- 
 pina has the accent on the second syllable ; but, when 
 altered to Proserpine, it transfers the accent to the first. 
 The same may be observed of Homerus, VirgHius, Ho- 
 ratius, &c., when Anglicized to Homer, Virgil, Hor- 
 ace, &c. 
 
 29. As it is not very easy, therefore, so it is not ne- 
 cessary, to decide where doctors disagree. When 
 reasons lie deep in Greek and Latin etymology, the 
 current pronunciation will be followed, let the learned 
 do all they can to hinder it. Thus, after Hyperion has 
 been accented by our best poets according to our own 
 analogy, with the accent on the antepenultimate, as 
 Shakspeare : ■ — 
 
 " Hype'rim'a curls, the front of Jove himself." — Bdmlet. 
 
 -that was to this 
 
 Hype'rwn to a satyr." — Ibid. 
 
 - next day after dawn, 
 
 Doth rise and hfsl^Hype'rion to his horse." — Henry VHi. 
 
 So Cooke, in his translation of Hesiod's Theogony, 
 follows the accentuation of Shakspeare : — 
 
 ** Hype'rhn and Japhet, brothers, join : ^ 
 
 Thea and Rfiea of this ancient line > 
 
 Descend ; and Themis boasts the source divine." ^ 
 
 " The fruits of Thia and Bype'rion rise, 
 And with refulgent lustre light the skies. *' 
 
 After this established pronunciation, I say, how hope- 
 less, as well as useless, would it be to attempt the 
 penultimate accentuation ! which yet ought undoubt- 
 edly to be preserved in reading or speaking Greek or 
 Latin compositions, but, in reading or speaking Eng- 
 lish, must be left to those who would rather appear 
 learned than judicioua.|| But Aaion, Arion, Amphion, 
 
 ins made a difference in this respect. In dissyllables, the 
 analogy of the English language will admit of this less 
 readily than in polysyllables ; but still an accelerated pro- 
 nunciation may be employed to mark the distinction.—

 Echion, Orion, Ixion, Pandion, Asian, Alphion, Viri- 
 on, Ophion, Methion, Axiom, Eion, Thlexion, and 
 Sandum, preserve their penultimate accent invariably ; 
 while EthaUon, a word of the same form and origin, is 
 pronounced with the accent on the antepenultimate, 
 like Deucalion and Pygmalion ; and this, if I mistake 
 not, is the common pronunciation of a ship in the 
 British navy, so called from the name of the Argonaut, 
 who accompanied Jason in his expedition to Colchis, 
 to fetch the golden fleece. 
 
 30; The same difficljlty of deciding between Com- 
 mon usage and classical propriety' appfeats' in words 
 ending in ia, as Alexandria, Antiochia, Seleucia, Sa- 
 maria, Iphigenia,* and several others, which were pro- 
 nounced, by our ancestors, as appears from their po- 
 etry, according to our own analogy, with the accent on 
 the antepenultimate syllable ; and there is no doubt 
 but every word of this form would have fallen into the 
 same accentuation, if classical criticism had not stepped 
 in and prevented it. A philosophical grammarian would 
 be apt to think we are not much obliged to scholars 
 for this interruption of the vernacular current of pro- 
 nunciation 3 but, Bs there is so plausible a plea as that 
 of reducing words to their original languages, and as a 
 knowledge of these languages will always be an hon- 
 orable distinction among men, it is strongly to be sus- 
 pected that these words will not long continue in their 
 plain, homespun, English dress. This critical correc- 
 tion, however, seems to have come too late for some 
 words, which, as Pope expresses it, have "slid into 
 verse," and taken possession of our ears ; and there- 
 fore, perhaps, the best way of disposing of them will 
 be to consider them as the ancients did the quantity of 
 certain doubtful syllables, and to pronounce them either 
 way. Some, however, seem always to have preserved 
 the accent of their original language, as Thalia and 
 Sophia; bat Iphigenia, Antiochia, Seleucia, and Sama- 
 ria, have generally yielded to the English antepenulti- 
 mate accent ; and Erythia, Deidamia, Laodamia, Hip- 
 podcimia, Apamia, llilhyia, and Orithyia, from their 
 seldom appearing in mere English composition, have 
 not often been drawn aside into plain English pronun- 
 ciation. The same may be observed of words ending- 
 in 7UCU8, or nice : if they are compounded of the Greek 
 vixtj, the penultimate syllable is always long; and must 
 have the accent ; as, Stratonicus, Berenide, &c. ; if this 
 termination be what is called a gentUe, signifying a 
 man by his country, the penultimate is short, and the 
 accent is on the antepenultimate; as, Macedonicus, 
 Sardonicus, Britannieus, &c. — See Andeonicds. 
 
 31. Thus we see many of these proper names are of 
 dubious accentuation ; and the authorities which may 
 be produced on both sides sufficiently show us the inu- 
 tility of criticizing beyond a certain point. It is in 
 these as in many English words ; there are some which, 
 if mispronounced, immediately show a want of educa- 
 tioh; and there are others which, though not pro- 
 nounced in the most erudite manner, stamp no impu- 
 tation of ignorance or illiteracy. To have a general 
 knowledge, therefore, of the pronunciation of these 
 words, seems absolutely necessary for those who would 
 appear respectable in the more respectable part of 
 society. Perhaps no people on earth are so correct in 
 the accentuation of proper names as the learned among 
 the English. The Port-Royal Grammar informs us 
 that, " notwithstanding all the rules that can be given, 
 we are often under the necessity of submitting to cus- 
 tom, and of accommodating our pronunciation to what 
 is received among the learned^ accordih^ to the coun- 
 try we are in." " So we pronounce," says the gram- 
 marian, " Aristo'l>ul'us,\ Bad'lim, Ido'livm, with the 
 accent on the antepenultimate, though the penultimate 
 is long, because it is the custom ; and, on the contrary, 
 we pronounce Andre'as, ide'a, Mari'a, &c., with the 
 accent on the penultimate, though it is short, because 
 it is the custom of the most learned. The Italians," 
 continues he, " place the accent on the penultimate of 
 antmwmasi'a, harmoni'a, philoaophi'a, thedlogi'a, and 
 similar words, according to the Greek accent, because, 
 as RiccioliuB observes, it is the custom of their coun- 
 try. Alvarez and Gretser think we ought always to 
 pronounce them in this manner, though the custom, 
 not only of Germany and Spain, but of all France, is 
 against it; but Nebrissensis authorizes this last pro- 
 nunciation, and says that it is better to place the ac- 
 cent of these vowels on the antepenultimate syllable ; 
 which shows," concludes the grammarian, " that, when 
 we once depart from the ancient rules, we have but 
 little certainty in practice, which is so diiferent in dif- 
 ferent countries." 
 
 But, however uncertain and desultory the accentua- 
 tion of many words may be, it is a great satisfaction to 
 a speaker to know that they are so. There is a wide 
 difference between pronouncing words of this kind 
 ignorantly ' and knowingly. A person who knows that 
 scholars themselves differ in the pronunciation of these 
 words can always pronounce with security; but one 
 who is unacquainted with the state of the accent is 
 not sure that he is right when he really is So, and al- 
 ways pronounces at his peril. 
 
 V It is hoped the candid peruser of this work wUl make aUowances for an occasional errbr in dividing a 
 syllable or placing an accent, when he reflects on the difficulty with which such a work must necessarily be 
 attended. The author flatters himself, however, that such attention has been paid both to the compilation 
 and the proofs, that the fewest errors imaginable have escaped him. [A considerable number of such errors

RULES 
 
 REFERRED TO IN THIS EDITION BY THE FIGURES IN THE COLUMNS OF 
 THE FOLLOWING VOCABULARY. 
 
 Bj" The sounds of the vowels, as long, short, SfC, were not marked by Walker in his Key ; but the same system 
 of notation that is used in the preceding Dictionary has been applied to this edition qf the Key, by the Editor ; 
 and thus any special rtference, by numbers, to the preceding Rules of Walker is rendered unnecessary. 
 
 The following Rules have been taken mbstantiaUyfrom Walker; No. I, from the Wth and lUh of the preceding 
 Rules; No. %, from the lUh; No. 3, from, Walker's twtes, in the Terminational Vocabulary, relating to the 
 terminations aia, eia, and eius, (see pages 894 and 904 ;) No, 4, fiom the 5th Rule ; and No. b, from the VZih, 
 13th, lUh, 15th, and I6th Rules. 
 
 Rule 1. — The consonants c, s, t, and x, before ia, ie, ii, io, iu, eu, and yo, preceded by the 
 accent, in Latin and Greek words, as in English, commonly take the sound of sh, as in the fol- 
 lowing words : Por'ti-a, (por'she-a,) A-lafi-a, (a-16k'she-a,) Ch/ti-e, (klish'e-e,) HePue'ti-i, {hel-ve'- 
 she-i,) Pho'ciron, (fb'she-6n,) Mci-us, (ak'she-us,) Cordu'ce-us, (ka-du'she-us,) Si"cy-on, (slsh'e-6n.) — 
 When 3, preceded by the accent, is followed by ia, or io, it takes the sound of zh ; as, Ma'si-a, 
 (me'zhe-a,) He'd-od, (he'zhe-od.) — According to Walker, the words Mm, Sosia, and Theodosia, 
 axe the only exceptions. 
 
 Rule 2. — In some proper names, ( preserves its true sound ; as, Mtion, Amphidyon, Androtwn, 
 Eurytion, Gralion, Harpocratkm, Hippotion, Iphition, Metwn, Omytion, Pallantion, PhUistion, 
 Polytion, Sotion, Stration, and a few others; but Hephastion and Theodotion are Anglicized, 
 the last syllables being pronounced like the last syllables in question and commotion. In the 
 words Msion, Dionysion, and lasion, the s takes the sound of z, but not of zh 
 
 Rule 3. — In words ending in eia, eii, eium, and eius, with the accent on the e, the i following 
 the accent is to be understood as articulating the following vowel, like y consonant ; as, Ekge'ia, 
 (el-e-je'ya,) Pompeii, (pom-pe'yi,) Pompdum, (pom-pe'yum,) Pompdius, (pom-pe'yus.) The same 
 rule also applies to words ending in ia, preceded by a or o having the accent upon it, as 
 Acha'ia, (a-ka'ya,) Latoia, (la-to'ya,) and likewise to words having the accent on a vowel, followed 
 by ia, though they may not end the word, as Ple'iades, (ple'ya-dez.) 
 
 Note.— In the different editions of Walker's Key, there is an inconsistency with regard to the class of words 
 ending in eia, eii, eium, and eius. In some of them, the accent is placed on the e, as in Apule'ius ; while others 
 have it placed on the i, as Pompei'us ; and, in some cases, the same word is differently accented in the Initial 
 and Terminational Vocabularies ; but, in his notes on the terminations eia and eius, in the Terminational 
 Vocabulary, Walker decides in favor of placing the accent on the e, including the whole list " under the 
 same general rule, that of sounding the e separately, and the i like y consonant." In this Vocabulary, all the 
 words of this class have the accent placed upon the e. 
 
 Rule 4. — The diphthongs ffi and as, ending a syllable with the accent on it, are pronounced like 
 long e, as in Ccc'sar, (se'zar ;) but, when followed by a consonant in the same syllable, like short e, 
 as in Dmd'oius, (dfid'a-lus.) 
 
 Rule 5. — In Greek and Latin words, which begin with uncombinable consonants, the first 
 letter is silent: thus C in Cneus and Ctesiphon, M in Mnevs, P in Psyche and Ptolemy, Ph in 
 Phthia, and T in T^lus, are not sounded.

PRONUNCIATION 
 
 GREEK AND LATIN PROPER NAMES 
 
 INITIAL VOCABULARY. 
 
 The words to which the letter (C.) is annexed have 
 been taken from Mr. Carres " Classical Pronuncia- 
 tion of Proper J^fames." 
 
 The words to which the letter ( T.) is annexed are words 
 which were added by Mr, IVollope, in his edition of 
 Walker's Key. 
 
 The words to which the letter (S.) is annexed have 
 been derived from Scheller's Latin and German 
 Lexicon. 
 
 The words which have not one of the above letters 
 annexed to them are to be found in Walker's 
 Key. 
 
 When a word is repeated, for the purpose of showing 
 a deviation from Wdlker^s pronunciation by Carr, 
 
 the letter ( C.) is annexed to the word as pronounced 
 by Carr; as, for example^ the word Ahasa is pro- 
 nounced A-ba'sa by Walker, and Ah'a-sa by Carr. 
 
 The Jigures annexed to the words refer to the Five 
 Rides of Pronunciation, on page 854. Thus the fig- 
 ure (1) annexed to Abantias refers to Rule 1, which 
 shows that the word is pronounced A-ban'ske-as. 
 
 The Rules referred to in the notes at the bottom of the 
 pageSj are Walker's Rules for Pronouncing the Vow- 
 els of Greek and Latin Proper Names, found on 
 pages 849 — 863. 
 
 The words in Italics are the preceding words Angli- 
 cized. Thus the Latin word Adrianus is changed, 
 in English, into Adrian,

 ■" 4^a. — This diphthong la merely ocular ; for the a has 
 no share in the sound, though it appears in the type. In- 
 deed, as we pronounce the a, there is no middle sound be- 
 tween that letter and e ; and therefore we have adopted 
 the last vowel, and relinquished the firat. This, among 
 other reasona, makes it probable that the Greeks and Bo- 
 mans pronounced the a as we do in water, and the e as we 
 hear it in where and there; the middle or mixt sound, then, 
 wou_d be like a in father, which was probably the sound 
 they gave to this diphthong. [Tn resolving the diph- 
 thong tB, the old Latin poet» employed a'i, as if from the 
 Greek ai. Thus aulali for mda, and the like. Hence it 
 appears that both the vowels in the diphthong were sound- 
 ed, but the latter more faintly than the former. In English, 
 of course, we can do no better than retain the vernacular 
 sound of dovJ/le-e. — Trollope.] 
 
 t .^£-w.— This diphthong, though long in Greek and 
 
 Latin, is, in English pronunciation, either long or short, ac- 
 cording to the accent or position of it. Thus, if it imme- 
 diately precedes the accent, as in S^geus, or with the accent 
 on it, before a single consonant, in a word of two syllables, 
 it is Ion g, as in ^gis ; before two consonants, it is short, as 
 in ^gles; or before one only, if the accent be on the ante- 
 penultimate, as tMropua. For the exceptions to this rule, 
 see Rule S3. [And note. — Trollops.] 
 
 J ^tius. — One of the generals of Valentinian III. ; which, 
 Labbe tells us, ought properly to be written A'etiua ; that is, 
 without the diphthong. We may observe, that, as this wora 
 comes from the Greek, but is Latinized, it is pronounced 
 with the t like ^A, as if written .Mshms ; but the preceding 
 word, .SEtum, being pure Greek, does not conform to this 
 analogy. See Rules 11 and 29; [See, also, note on 
 Rule 10. — Trollope.]

 * Aldni^s. — There are no worda more frequently mis- 
 pronounced, by a mere English scholar, than those of this 
 termination. By auch a one we aometimes hear Aldnous 
 and Antinova pronounced in three syllables, as if written 
 Al-d-nout and .^Sn-fi-noux, rhyming with vowsj but classical 
 pronunciation requires that theae vowela should form dis- 
 tinct ayllables. 
 t Aleius Campus. — 
 
 " Leat from this flying steed unreined^ (as once 
 Bellerophon, though from a lower chme,) 
 Dismounted, on th* Aldan field 1 fall. 
 Erroneous there to wander, and forlorn." 
 
 Milton'8 Par. Lost, b. vii v. 17. 
 X Alexander. — This word is as frequently pronounced 
 with the accent on the first as on the third syllable. 
 
 $ Alexandria. — [The accentuation Al-ex~aji-dri'a de- 
 notes the true claasical pronunciation. But see note on 
 Rule 30. — Trollofe.]

 [In the different editiona of Walker's Key, this word is 
 generally found in the Initial Vocabulary of the Greek and 
 Latin Proper Namea with the accent on the penultimate — 
 Al-ex-ati^drifa ; but, in the Initial Vocabulary of Scripture 
 Proper Names, and in both of his Terminational Vocabula^ 
 ries^ it stands with the accent on the antepenultimate — 
 Al'&c-an'drira; and this, it appears, ia the pronunciation to 
 which he gave the preference. In the pronunciation of 
 Scripture Proper Names, Perry, Smart, and C. Taylor 
 ■ place the accent on the antepenultimate — Al-ez-an'dri^. 
 The proper pronunciation, in reading Greek and Latin, is 
 Al-ex-aTi-drVa'yXiMt, in reading and speaking English, the 
 name of the ancient as well as of the modern city is prop- 
 erly pronounced Al-ex-an'dri-a. Mr. Garr pronounces the 
 name of the ancient city Al-ex-an-dri'a, and the name of the 
 mother of the heretic Epiphanes, AUcxhan'dri-a. — Eoitob.]

 * Ampkigenia. — See Iphiqenia, and Rule 30, prefixed to 
 tbia Vocabulary. 
 
 f Jinadyomene. — Tbia epithet, from the Greek dvaSHa), 
 emergens, signifying rising out of the water, ia applied to 
 the picture of Venus rismg out of the sea, aa originally 
 painted by Apelles. I doubt not that some, who only hear 
 this word without seeing it written, suppose it to mean 
 jJnTw Dominif the year of our Lord. 
 
 J ^ndronicus. — This word is uniformly pronounced, by 
 our prosodists, with the penultimate accent; and yet, ao 
 averae is an English ear to placing the accent on the penul- 
 timate i, that, by all English scholars, we hear it placed upon 
 tbe antepenultimate syllable. That thia was the pronuncia- 
 tion of this word in Queen Elizabeth's time, appears plainly 
 from tbe tragedy of Titus ^ndronicus, said to be written by 
 
 Sbakspeare ; in which we every where find the antepenulti- 
 mate pronunciation adopted. It may, indeed, be questioned 
 whether Shakspeare'a learning extended to a knowledge of 
 the quantity of this Grieco-Latin word ; but, as Mr. Stee- 
 vena has justly observed, there is a greater number of clas- 
 sical allusions in tbia play than are scattered over all the 
 rest of the performances on which the seal of Shakapeare 
 ia indubitably fixed ; and therefore it may be preaumed that 
 the author could not be ignorant of the Greek and Latin 
 pronunciation of thia word, but followed the received Eng- 
 lish pronunciation of his time ; and which, by all but pro- 
 fessed scholarB, is still continued. — See Sophronicus. — 
 The analogy of the language, with which Shakspeare's au- 
 thority can have nothing to do, is decisive in favor of tbe 
 penultimate accentuation. — Tbollope.]

 * Aniiochia. — For words of thia termination, see Iphiob- 
 iviA, and No. 30 of tbe Rules prefixed to tbis Vocabulary. 
 
 t •Apotheosis. — Wben we are reading Latin or Greek, tbis 
 word ought to hare the accent on tbe penultimate syllable j 
 but, in pronouncing Engliab, we should accent tbe ante- 
 penultimate : 
 
 " Allots tbe prince of bia celestial line 
 An. apothiosis and ritea divine." — Garth. 
 [The Greek word is dn-oS-i oKrif. If the true pronuncia- 
 tion were retained, the word would necessarily be excluded 
 from English poetry. But this is no reason that an almost 
 solitary Instance of poetic license should be a rule In read- 
 ing prose. — Trollope.] — [See Apotheosis, in tbe Dic- 
 tionary. — ED1T0K.J 
 
 X -^rfioccs. — Lempriere, Gouldman, Gesner, and Little- 
 ton, accent thia word on the first syllable, but Ainswortb 
 and Holyoke on the second; and tbis is so much more 
 agreeable to an English ear, that I should prefer it. [See 
 Ahsacxs. — Trollope J 
 
 $ ArheUif the city or Assyria where tbe decisive battle i 
 
 was fought between Alexander and Dariua, and the city in 
 Palestine of that name, have the accent on the penultimate ; 
 but Arbela, a town in Sicily, has the accent on the antepe- 
 nultimate syllable. 
 
 11 Archidamus. — Ainswortb, Gouldman, Littleton, and 
 Holyoke, place the accent on the antepenultimate syllable 
 of tbis word, but Lempriere and Labbe [also Carr] on the 
 penultimate. I have followed Lempriere and Labbe, though, 
 in my opinion, wrong ; for, as every word of this termina- 
 tion has the antepenultimate accent, aa Polydamas, TTie- 
 odamasj &:c,, I know not why tbis should be difierentj 
 though Labbe tells us that the learned are of bis opinion. 
 
 IT Areopagus. — Labbe tells us that the penultimate sylla- 
 ble of this word is, beyond all controversy, short, — guid~ 
 quid nonnulli in tant& luce eUamnum cmcutiant. Some of 
 these blind men are Gouldman, Holyoke, and Littleton ; 
 but Lempriere and Ainswortb, [also Carr,] tbe best authori- 
 ties, agree with Labbe. [Tliere is no authority for tbe 
 word in full ; but, from the quantity of the word irayos, 
 Labbe is unquestionably correct. —Trollope.]

 * Argives. — I have observed a atrong propenaity in 
 school-boyB to pronounce the g in these words hard, as in 
 the Engliah word give. This is, undoubtedly, because their 
 maatera do so ; and they will tell us that the Greek gamma 
 should always be pronounced hard in the worda from that 
 language. What, then, muat we alter that long catalogue 
 of worda where this letter occurs, as in Omesia, gmiua, 
 Diogenes, ^gyptuSf &c.? The question answers ilself. 
 [Our good author haa a mighty antipathy to any ap- 
 proach towarda the classic^ pronunciation in Anglicized 
 proper names. Perhaps the reasons already given for a dif- 
 ferent prejudice may be thought Batisfactory. — Trollope.] 
 
 t ^rsacM. — Gouldman, Lempriere, Holyoke, and Labbe, 
 accent this word on the first syllable, and, unquestionably, 
 not without classical authority ; but Ainsworth, and a etill 
 greater authority, general uaage, have, in my opinion, de- 
 
 termined the accent of this word on the second syllable. 
 [The quantity of the word is sufficiently marked by 
 its derivatives. Martial. Epigr. — Scis quid in Arsacia, &;c 
 Lucan. Phar. viii. 409 — jsTascitwr Arsacides. Hence, perhaps, 
 by analogy, we may obtain the true pronunciation of Arbacee i 
 q. V. — T'rollope.] 
 
 X Artemis.—' 
 
 "The slaters to Apollo tune their voice, 
 And Artemis to thee, whom darts rejoice." 
 
 Cooke's Hesiod, Theog. v. 17. 
 
 SArtemita — Ainsworth places the accent on the antepe- 
 timate syllable of thiff word ; but Lempriere, Gouldman, 
 and Holyoke, [alao Carr,] more correctly, in my opinion, 
 on the penultimate.

 * .AtrebateB. — Ainsworth accents this word on the ante- 
 penultimate syllable; but Lempriere, Gouldman, Holyoke, 
 and Labbe, [alao Carr,] on the penultimate ; and tbia la, in 
 my opinion^ the better pronunciation. [There ia a line in 
 
 the Chriatian poet ^dffnius ApoUmaris, who flourished 
 A. D. 432, which favors the accentuation of Ainaworth — 
 Atrebaivm terras, &c. — Teollope.]

 * Bellems. — All our texicographera unite in giving thia 
 word the antepenultimate accent; but Milton aeema to 
 have sanctioned the penultimate, as much more agreeable 
 to English ears, in his Lycidas : — 
 
 *' Or whether thou, to our moist vowa denied, 
 Sleep'st by the fable of Bellerus old." 
 Though it must be acknowledged that Milton has, in this 
 word, deserted the classical pronunciation, yet hia author- 
 ity is sufficient to make us acquiesce in his accentuation in 
 
 the above-mentioned passage. [True; but not elsewhere. 
 — Teollope.] 
 
 f Bianor. — Lempriere accents this word on the first syl- 
 able, but Labbe, Ainsworth, Gouldman, and Holyoke, on 
 the second ; and these agree with Virgil, Eel. ix. v. 60. 
 
 % Britones. — Labbe tells us that thia word ia aometimes 
 pronounced with the penultimate accent, but more frequent- 
 ly with the antepenultimate. [Qua nee terribiles Cimbri^ 
 nee Britones unqnam, &c. Juv. Sat. xv. 124. — Teollopb.]

 * Cleomenes. — There is an unaccountable caprice in Dry- 
 den's accentuation of thia word, in oppoaition to all proso- 
 dy ; for, through the whole tragedy of this title, he places 
 the accent on the penultimate, instead of the antepenulti- 
 mate, syllable. [This observation is perfectly just. But 
 is there not something equally capricious in our author's 
 note on the word Jlndronicua, compared with this charge 
 against Dryden? — TnoLLOPE.] 
 
 t Cleopatra. — The learned editor of Labbe tells us this 
 word ought to be pronounced with the accent on the ante- 
 penultimate, Cle-op'ortra, though the penultimate accentua- 
 tion, he Bays, is the more common. [I know of no authori- 
 109 
 
 ty for the penultimate accentuation. — Trollope. — The 
 poets make it long by position. — Cahr,] 
 
 t Cnacadium. — C before n, in this and the succeeding 
 words, is mute ; and they must be pronounced as if written 
 JVacadiuittj JVacalis, Sec. [See note on Rule 13. — Tbollope.] 
 
 $ CoUinO' — Lempriere accents thia word on the antepe- 
 nultimate J but Ainsworth, Gouldman, and Holyoke, more 
 properly on the penultimate. 
 
 II Colotes. — Ainsworth and Lempriere accent this word 
 on the antepenultimate syllable ; but Labbe, Gouldman, and 
 Holyoke, more agreeably to the general ear, on the penul- 
 timate.

 ** AJpheus and -ErMfanMs the strong, 
 That rises deep, and stately rolla along." 
 
 Cooke's H&siod* Theog. v. 590. 
 t Eryihea, — 
 
 " Gfarysaor, Love the guide, Callirhoe led, 
 Daughter of Ocean, to the genial bed, 
 Whence Geryon sprung, fierce with his triple head ; 
 Whom Hercules laid breathleas on the ground 
 In ^"ytheaj which the waves surround." 
 
 Cooke'8 Hesiod. Theog. v. 523. 
 [The Greek is 'EpvSfi^a. — Tbollopb.] 
 X Eumenet* - It is not a little surprising that so elegant s 
 
 writer as Hughes should, throughout the whole tragedy of 
 the Siege of Damascus, accent this word on the penultimate 
 syllable ; especially as there is not a single proper name, of 
 more than two syllables, in the Greek or Latin languages, 
 of this termination, which has the penultimate syllable 
 long. Lee has done the same in the tragedy of Mezander, 
 which would lead us to suppose there is something natural- 
 ly repugnant to an English ear in the antepenultimate ac- 
 centuation of these words, and something agreeable in the 
 penultimate. 
 
 $ Euthalia. — Labbe observes that this word does not 
 come &om the muse T%aiiay as some suppose, but from the 
 masculine £^thalius ; as Eulatia, Eumeniaj I^toliaf EutrO' 
 pia, Emmelia, &&, which are professedly acc.ented on the 
 antepenultimate. See Rule 30.

 * Oranicus. — As Alexander'g pasaing the River G'raTw'ciw 
 is a common subject of history, poetry, and painting, it is 
 not wonderful that the common ear should have given in to 
 a pronunciation of this word more agreeable to English 
 analogy than the true claaaical accent on the penultimate syl- 
 lable. The accent on the first syllable is now so fixed aa to 
 make the other pronunciation savor of pedantry. — See An- 
 DH0NICU3. — [That is, if correct speaking be pedantry. — 
 Trollope,] 
 
 t Hegemon. — Gouldman and Holyoke accent this word 
 on the antepenultimate syllable, but Labbe and Lempriere, 
 [algo Carr,] more classically, on the penultimate. 
 
 X Heliogahalus. — This word is accented on the penultimate 
 syllable by Labbe and Lempriere ; but, in my opinion, more 
 agreeably to the general ear by Ains worth, Gouldman, and 
 Holyoke, on the antepenultimate. 
 
 5 Heraditus. — This name of the weeping philosopher ia 
 so frequently contrasted with that of Democritns, the laugh- 
 ing philosopher, that we are apt to pronounce both with the 
 same accent ; but all our prosodists are uniform in giving 
 the antepenultimate accent to the latter, and the penulti* 
 mate to the former word.

 ^^ Wppocrene* — Nothing can be better established than the 
 pronunciation of this word in four ayllables, according to its 
 original ; and yet, auch is the license of English poets, that 
 they not unfrequently contract it to three. Thus Cooke, 
 ffeeiod. Theog. v. 9 : — 
 
 *' And now to Hippocrene resort the fair, 
 Or, OlmioB, to thy aacred springs repair." 
 And a late translator of the Satires of Persius : — 
 " Never did I so much as sip, 
 Or wet with Hrppocrene a lip." 
 This contraction is inexcusable, as it tends to embarrass 
 pronunciation and lower the language of poetry. 
 I Hybreas. — Lempriere accents this word on the penulti- 
 
 mate syllable, but Labbe, Gouldman, and Holyoke, more 
 properly, on the antepenultimate. 
 X Hyperion. — See Rule 29. 
 $ lapetus. — 
 
 ** Son of lapetus, o'er-subtle, go. 
 And gloi7 in thy artful theft below." 
 
 Cooke's Hesiod, 
 [Horat. Od. I. 3, 28 : Audax lapeti genus. — Tbollofe.] 
 II Idea, — This word, as a proper name, I find in no lexi- 
 cographer but Lempriere. 
 
 The English appellative, signifying an image in the mind, 
 has uniformly the accent on the second syllable, as in the 
 
GREEK AND LATIN PROPER NAMES.

 Greek idea, in opposition to the Latin, which we generally 
 follow in other cases, and which, in this word, has the pe- 
 nultimate short, in Ainsworth, Labbe, and our best proso- 
 dials ; and, according to this analogy, idea ought to have the 
 accent on the flrat syllable, and that syllable short, aa the 
 first of idiot. But, when this word ia a proper name, as the 
 daughter of Dardanua, I should suppose it ought to fall into 
 the general analogy of pronouncing Greek names, not by 
 accent, but by quantity ; and therefore that it ought to have 
 the accent on the first ayllable; and, according to our own 
 analogy, that syllable ought to be short, unless the penulti- 
 mate in the Greek is a diphthong, and then, according to 
 general usage, it ought to have the accent. — [The fact is, 
 that the Greek, in thia caae, ia a diphthong, the name being 
 'iJaia, and therefore, in Latin and Engliah, Idm'a. In the 
 beginning of the note, there is some confusion in our au- 
 thor's statementa. The penultimate in idea is abort ; in the 
 Latin ideoy long. Aurel. Vio. : Aminos ideafatigat. — Trol- 
 
 I,OPE.] 
 
 * Idommeus. — The termination of nouns in eus was, 
 among the ancients, sometimes pronounced in two sylla- 
 bles, and sometimes, as a diphthong, in one. Thus Labbe 
 tells us that AchUleiis, ArgyllBus, Phalareils, Apsirteus, are 
 pronounced commonly in four syllables, and JVeretis, Or- 
 pheiiSy PorteiiSj Tereiis, in three, with the penultimate sylla- 
 ble short in all; but that these words, when in verse, have 
 generally the diphthong preserved in one syllable : 
 
 "Eumenidum veluti demens videt agmlna Pentheua." 
 
 Visa. 
 
 He observes, however, tliat the Latin poets very fre- 
 quently dissolved the diphthong into two syllablea : 
 "Naiadum ccetu, tantum non Orpheiis, Hebrum 
 Foenaque reapectua, et nunc manet Orpheiis in te." 
 
 The best rule, therefore, that can be given to an English 
 leader, is, to pronounce words of thia termination always 
 with the vowels aeparated, except an English poet, in imi- 
 tation of the Greeks, abould preserve the diphthong ; but, 
 in the present word, I should prefer T-dom'e-neus to /-dom-e- 
 ne'usf whether in verse or prose. — [The reverse of thia is 
 decidedly the best rule j viz., to preserve the diphthong inva- 
 riably, except where an Engliah poet, after the example of 
 the Latin, dissolvea it. I-dom-e^^us must be incorrect, aa 
 the Greek name ia always spelt with an « ,* ao that the 
 resolved diphthong would be pronounced Id-o-men'e-its. — 
 Tbollope.] — [The following remarks are quoted from Mr. 
 Carr: *'It must be observed, that the termination eiw, in 
 proper names, derived from the third declension of Greek 
 contracts in stiff, as Orpheiia, Pentheus, Theseus, ('Op<pEvs, 
 Uevdevs, OnfTsvSj) are generally pronounced aa one syllable 
 in poetry ; aa, 
 
 ' Eumenidum veluti demena videt agmina Pentheus.' 
 
 VlRQ. 
 
 'Hsc Proteus, et se jactu dedit squor in altum.' 
 
 ViBS. 
 
 But, out of poetry J the termination efls must be dissolved ac- 
 cording to the analogy of the Latin language, (as DSus^ 
 from Zewf,) when the penultimate e, representing the Greek 
 e in the original, will, of course, be short ; aa, OrpItSus 
 TktsSusy &.C. But, if they are converted into adjectivea, 
 the penultimate becomes longj as, PenthSus, (^adj. of PenthS- 
 usi) JVerSua, (adj. of JVerSus ;) OrphSua^ {adj. of Orpheus;) 
 thus representing the quantity of the original Greek adjec- 
 tives, UevdEios, NrjpeToSj ^Op^eios." — Editor.] 
 
 t Uioneus. — See Idomeneos. 
 
 X Imaua. —All our proaodiata make the penultimate aylla- 
 ble of thia word short- and consequently accent it on the 
 IJO 
 
 antepenultimate ; but Milton, by a licenae he was allowed 
 to take, accents it on the penultimate syllable : 
 " As when a vulture on Imavs bred, 
 Whose snowy ridge the roving Tartar bounds." 
 $ Iphigenia. — The antepenultimate syllable of this word 
 had been in quiet possession of the accent for more than a 
 century, till some Greeklings, of late, have attempted to 
 place the stress on the penultimate, in compliment to the 
 original 'l^iyipEia. If we ask ourinnovatora on what prin- 
 ciples they pronounce this word with the accent on the i, 
 they answer, because the i stands for the diphthong ei, 
 whiich, being long, must necessarily have the accent on it. 
 But it may be replied, this was, indeed, the case in tho 
 Latin language, but not in the Greek, where we find a thou- 
 sand long penultimates without the accent. It is true, one 
 of the vowels which composed a diphthong in Greek, when 
 this diphthong was in the penultimate syllable, generally 
 had an accent on it ; but not invariably ; for a long penul- 
 timate syllable did not always attract the accent in Greek, 
 as it did in Latin. An instance of this, among thousands, 
 is that famous line of dactyls in Homer'a Odyssey, express- 
 ing the tumbling down of the stone of Sisyphus : 
 
 AvTis iiTCira iriSovSe KvXivSeTO Xaas dvatSiJs. 
 
 Odyss. b. 11. 
 Another striking instance of the same accentuation ap- 
 pears in the first two verses of the Iliad : 
 
 M^viv ^eiSe Oca IlnXrjiddeo}, 'AxiXfjos 
 OiXoiiivriVi 1) fivpV 'AxaioTs &Xye edrjKS. 
 
 I know it may be said that the written accents we see on 
 Greek words are of no kind of authority, and that we ouglit 
 always to give accent to penultimate long quantity, aa the 
 Latins did. Not here to enter into a dispute about the au- 
 thority of the written accents, the nature of the acute, and 
 its connection with quantity, which has divided the learned 
 of Europe for so many years, — till we have a clearer idea of 
 the nature of the human voice, and the properties of speak- 
 ing sounds, which alone can clear the difficulty, — for the 
 sake of uniformity, perhai)s, it were better to adopt the pre- 
 vailing mode of pronouncing Greek proper names like the 
 Latin, by making the quantity of the penultimate syllable 
 the regulator of the accent, though contrary to the genius 
 of Greek accentuation, which made the ultimate syllable its 
 regulator ; and if this syllable was long, the accent could 
 never rise higher than the penultimate. Perhapa, in lan- 
 guage, Eis in lawa, it is not of so much importance that the 
 rules of either should be exactly right, as that they should 
 be certainly and easily known : so the object of attention, 
 in the present case, is not so much what ought to be done 
 as what actually is done ; and, as pedantry will always be 
 more pardonable than illiteracy, if we are in doubt about the 
 prevalence of custom, it will always be safer to lean to the 
 side of Greek or Latin than of our own language. — [Enough 
 has been said on the pronunciation of worda of this class 
 in Rule 30. — Trollopb.] — [See note on Iphigenia, in the 
 Terminational Vocabulary, on page 893. — Editor.] 
 
 II /pAimcdia.— -This and the foregoing word have the ac- 
 cent on the same syllable, but for what reason cannot be 
 easily conceived. That fyhigenia, having the diphthong fit 
 in its penultimate syllable, should, have the accent on that 
 syllable, though not the soundest, is at least a plausible rea- 
 son, but why should our prosodista give the same accent to 
 the i in Iphimedia, which, coming from i0: and iiedju, has 
 no such pretensions ? If they say it has the accent in the 
 Greek word, it may be answered, this is not esteemed a 
 suflicient reason for placing the accent in Iphigmiajhe- 
 sidea,it ia giving up the sheet-anchor of modern prosodials.

 the quantity, as the regulator of accent. We know it waa 
 an axiom in Greek proaody, that when the laat syllable waa 
 long by nature, the accent could not riae beyond the penul- 
 timate ; but we know, too, that this axiom ia abandoned in 
 Demosthenes, Arigtoteles, and a thousand other words. The 
 only reason, therefore, that remains for the penultimate ac- 
 centuation of tbia word, ia, that this ayllable is long in some 
 of the best poets. Be it so. Let those who have more learn 
 ing and leisure than I have find it out. In the interim, as 
 this may, perhaps, be a long one, I must recur to my advice 
 under the last word ; though Ainsworth has, in my opinion, 
 very properly, left the penultimate syllable of both these 
 words short, yet those who affect to be thought learned will 
 
 always find their account in departing as far as possible 
 from the analogy of their own language in favor of Greek 
 and Latin. [Garr gives as the Greek ^l^niUeia. — Editob.]

 * iMsthenia. — All the prosodists I have consulted, except 
 Ainaworth, accent this word on the penultimate syllable ; 
 and, though English analogy would prefer the accent on the 
 antepenultimate, we must necessarily yield to such a de- 
 cided superiority of votes for the penultimate in a word so 
 little Anglicized by use. — See Iphigenia. 
 
 t Leonatus. — In the accentuation of thia word I have fol- 
 lowed Labbe and Lempriere, the former of whom says, 
 " Q.uanquam de hac voce ampliua cogitandum cum eruditia 
 viria existimem." Till, then, these learned men have con- 
 sidered thia word, I think we may be allowed to consider it 
 as formed from the Latin leo and natus, "lion-born ;" and, 
 as the a in natiis ia long, no shadow of reason can be given 
 why it should not have the accent. This is the accentua- 
 tion constantly given to it in the play of Cymheline, and ia, 
 in my opinion, the best — [Unquestionably ; and therefore 
 the accent haa been so placed. -^Trollofe.] 
 
 X Lucia. — Labbe criea out loudly against those who ac- 
 cent this word nn the penultimate, which, as a Latin word, 
 
 ought to have the accent on the antepenultimate syllable. 
 " If once," says he, " we break through rules, why should 
 we not pronounce Ammia^ Anastasia^ Cecilia, Lucretia, JSTor- 
 taliaj &c., with the accent on the penultimate, likewise.?" 
 This ought to be a warning against our pronouncing the 
 West-India island St La'da, as we sometimes hear it, $t, 
 I^d'a. 
 
 $ Lwp&^cd. — This word is so little interwoven with our 
 language, that it ought to have its true Latin accent on the 
 penultimate syllable. But, wherever the antepenultimate 
 accent is adopted in verse, as in Shakspeare's Julius Casar, 
 where Antony says, — 
 
 " You all did see that on the Lu/percal 
 I thrice presented him a kingly crown," — 
 we ought to preserve it. Mr. Barrj;, the actor, who was in- 
 formed by some scholar of the Latin pronunciation of thia 
 word, adopted it in this place, and pronounced it Lwpar'cal, 
 which grated every ear that heard him.

 worth, Gouldman, and Holyoke, by adopting the antepenulti- 
 mate accent, [Carr does the aame,] in oppoBltion to Lem- 
 priere, who accents the penultimate syllable. 
 
 t Megareus. — Labbe pronounces thia word in four sylla- 
 bles, when a noun subatantive ; but Ainsworth marks it as 
 a triayllable, when a proper name, and, in my opinion, in-

 Ovid. Met. X. 606. — Trollope.] 
 
 J Melohosis. — In this word I have given the preference 
 to the antepenultimate accent, with Labbe, Gouldman, and 
 Holyoke, [also Carr,] though the penultimate, which Lem- 
 priere has adopted, is more agreeable to the ear. — [In both 
 the second and third ayllablea, the is the Greek omicron,

 * Mviucha. — This word ia accented on the antepenulti- 
 mate ayllable by Labbe, Lempriere, and Alnaworth, and on 
 the penultimate by Gouldman and Holyoice. Labbe, in- 
 deed, 8aya, vt vohieris ; and I 8hall certainly avail myaelf of 
 this permission to place the accent on the penultimate ; for, 
 when this syllable ends with u, the English have a strong 
 propensity to place the accent on it, even in opposition to 
 etymology, as in the word Arbutus. 
 
 ■f Mycale and Mycone, {Mutina.l — An English ear seems 
 to have a strong predilection for the penultimate accent on 
 these words ; but all our proaodists accent them on the ante- 
 penultimate. The same may be observed of Mutina. See 
 note on Oryus. — [Ovid. Met. xit 263: Mater erat MycaXe^ 
 jfcc. — vii. 463 : Hinc humUem Myconvm, &c — xv. 823 : 
 yicta petent MuUna^ &c. — Trollope.] 
 
 J Myrinus. — Labbe ia the only proaodist I have met with 
 who accents this word on the antepenultimate syllable; 
 and, as thia accentuation is so contrary to analogy, I have 
 followed Lempriere, Ainsworth, Gouldman, and Holyoke, 
 with the accent on the penultimate. See the word in the 
 Terminational Vocabulary. — [Thia may be true of the epi- 
 thet of Apollo, ao called from the town Myrina, but not of 
 tlie name of a gladiator mentioned in Mart. Bpig. xii. 29 : 
 Kupeir cum Myrino petercturj &c. — Trollopb.] 
 
 $ [JSTasica. — The penultimate is long. — Editor. 
 
 " JVflsica excepit templinon extitit auctor." — Ovid.] 
 
 II [JVemea; Nefiia, — The penultimate is short. — Editob. 
 
 "Et vaatum JVemea sub rupe leonem." — ViRaiL.] 
 
 IT J^Teobule. — Labbe, Ainsworth, Gouldman, Littleton, and 
 Holyoke, [also Carr,] give this word the penultimate accent ; 
 and therefore I have preferred it to the antepenultimate ac- 
 cent given it by Lempriere^ not only from the number of au- 
 thorities in ita favor, but firom its being more agreeable to 
 analogy. — [Compare Hor. Od. iii. 13, 5. — Trollope.] 
 
 ** JVcoris. — The authorities are nearly equally balanced 
 between the penultimate and antepenultimate accent ; and 
 therefore I may aay, aa Labbe sometimes does, vtvolueria; 
 but I am inclined rather to the antepenultimate accent, aa 
 more agreeable to analogy, though I thinit the penultimate 
 more agreeable to the ear.

 Where Tuacan Tyber rolla with rapid force. 
 And where JVumUms opea hia holy source." 
 
 Detdew. 
 
 t ^undina, — Lempriere places the accent on the penul- 
 timate syllable of this word, but Labbe, Gouldman, and 
 Ilolyoke, [also Carr,] on the antepenultimate. Ainsworth 
 marks it in the same manner among the appellatives, nor 
 can there be any doubt of its propriety. 
 
 $ Oceaiia. — So prone are the EngliBh to lay the accent 
 on the penultimate of words of this termination, that we 
 scarcely ever hear the famous Oceana of Harrington pro- 
 nounced otherwise. 
 
 II (Eaffanis^ [(Eagrus.'] — This diphthong, like «, is pro- 
 nounced aa the eingle vowel e. If the conjecture concern- 
 ing the sound of (e was right, the middle sound between 
 the and e of the ancienta must, in all probability, have 
 been the aound of our a in laater. — See the word Mi., 
 
 IT OgyjfBs. — This word is, by all our prosodists, accented 
 on the first syllable, and consequently it must sound ex- 
 actly as if written Odd'je^ez ; and this, however odd to an 
 English ear, must be complied with. — [Og'fij-ges is the 
 most correct pronunciation. The quantity is marked in 
 the derivative Osygius^ in Lucan. Fhars. i. 675 : Edonis

 * OmpJiale. — The accentuation which a mere Engliah 
 speaker would give to this word was experienced, a few 
 years ago, by a pantomime called Hercules and Chnphale, 
 when the whole town concurred in placing the accent on 
 the second Byllable, till some classical scholars gave a check 
 to this pronunciation by placing the accent on the first. 
 This, however, was far from banishing the former manner, 
 and disturbed the public ear without correcting it. Those, 
 however, who would not wish to be numbered among the 
 Vulgar, must take care to avoid the penultimate accent.

 Garth's Ovid, Met. 
 $ Palmyra. — Nothing can be better fixed, in an English ear, 
 than the penultimate accentuation of this word. This pro- 
 nunciation ia adopted by Ainswortn and Lempriere. Gould- 
 man and Holyoke seem to look the other way ; but Labbo 
 aaya the more learned give thia word the antepenultimate 
 accent, and that thia accent is more agreeable to the general 
 
GREEK AND LATIN PROPER NAMES.

 rule. Thoae, however, muat be pedantic coxcombs, who 
 should attempt to disturb the received pronunciation, when 
 in English, because a contrary accentuation may, poaaibly, 
 be proved to be more agreeable to Greek or Latin. 
 
 * Fammmes. — I find thia word nowhere but In Lem- 
 priere, who accenta it on the penultimate ! But, aa all words 
 of this termination have the antepenultimate accent, till thia 
 appears an exception, I ahall venture to alter it. — [Rlm'- 
 me-nej, Caeh. Haiiiiii/ns-J 
 
 f Pantheon. — Thia word is universally pronounced with 
 the accent on the second syllable, in English ; but, in Latin, 
 it has its lirst syllable accented ; and thia accentuation makes 
 so slight a difi*erence to the ear, that it ought to have the 
 preference. 
 
 t Papiae. — This ia the name of an early Christian writer, 
 who first propagated the doctrine of the millennium ; and 
 It is generally pronounced with the accent on the second 
 syllable, but 1 believe corruptly, since Labbe has adopted 
 the antepenultimate accent, who must be well acquainted 
 with the true pronunciation of eccleaiaatical characters. 
 Ill 
 
 $ Parysatis. — Labbe telle ua that some prosodlsts contend 
 that this word ought to be accented on the antepenultimate 
 syllable, and we find Lempriere has so accented it ; but so 
 popular a tragedy as AUxander^ which every where accents 
 the penultimate, has fixed thia pronunciation, in our own 
 country, beyond a doubt. 
 
 II Patroclus, — Lempriere, Ainsworth, Gouldman,and Ho- 
 lyoke, accent the penultimate syllable of this word, but Labbe 
 the antepenultimate ; our Graduses pronounce It either way ; 
 but I do not hesitate to prefer the penultimate accent ; and, 
 till some good reason be given for the contrary, I think Pa- 
 troclesf the hiatorian, and PatrOcU, a amall island, ougtit to 
 be pronounced with the same accent as the friend of Achilles. 
 — [The is the Greek omicron ; and the name should, there- 
 fore, be pronounced Patroc'lusj rather than Patro'clus ; but 
 the penultimate is almost invariably long. See Homer, pas. 
 «M. — Teollope.] [PatrBclus: — generally made long by 
 position. Carr.]

 * Phalereus. — There is Bome doubt, among the learned, 
 whether thia word ought to be pronounced in three or four 
 syllableB ; that IB, as Phal-e^eus or PhorlR^e-us. The latter

 * Pleiades. — 
 
 " When with their domea the slow-paced snails retreat, 
 Beneath some foliage, from the burning heat 
 Of the Pleiades, your tools prepare j 
 The ripened harvest then deserves your care," 
 
 Cooke's Hesiod. Works and Days. 
 The translator has adhered strictly to the original ll\r}X&- 
 ieSf in making this word four syllables. Virgil has done the 
 same : — 
 
 "Ple'iadas, Hyadas, claramque Lycaonis Arcton." 
 
 Oeorgic i. 
 But Ovid has contracted this word into three syllables: — 
 " Pleiades incipiunt humeros relevare patemos." 
 
 Fastij iv. 169. 
 The latter translators of the classics have generally con- 
 tracted this word to three syllables. Thus, in Ogilby's trans- 
 lation of Virgil's Georgics, b. 1 : — 
 
 " First let the Eastern Pleiades go down, 
 
 And the bright star in Ariadne's crown." 
 " The Pleiades and Hyades appear, 
 The sad companions of the turning year." 
 
 Creech's ManUius. 
 But Dryden has, to the great detriment of the poetical 
 Eound of this word, Anglicized it, by squeezing it into two 
 syllables : — 
 
 "What are to him the sculpture of the shield, 
 Heaven's planets, earth, and ocean's watery field. 
 The Pleiads, Hyads, Lees and Greater Bear, 
 Undipped in seas, Orion's angry star?" 
 
 Otid'h Met. b. 19. 
 This unpleasant contraction of Dryden's seeraa not to 
 have been much followed. Elegant speakers are pretty uni- 
 form in preferring the trisyllable ; but a considerable variety 
 appears in the sound of the diphthong ei. Most speakers 
 pronounce it like the substantive eye; and this pronuncia- 
 tion is defended by the common practice, in most schools, 
 of sounding the diphthong ei in this manner in appellatives ; 
 but, though Greek appellatives preserve the origmal sound 
 of their letters, as ^tXavria, trpoSdrtov, k. t. A., where the t 
 does not slide into sA, as in Latin words, yet proper names. 
 
 which are transplanted into all languages, partake of the 
 soil into which they are received, and fall in with the anal- 
 ogies of the language which adopts them. There is, there- 
 fore, no more reason for preserving the sound of £i in proper 
 names than for pronouncing the c like k in Phocion, Lacedce- 
 mon, &c. 
 
 But perhaps it will be said that our diphthong ei has the 
 sound of eye as well as the Greek ei ; to which it may be 
 answered, that this is an irregular sound of these vowels, 
 and can scarcely be produced as an example, since it exista 
 but in either, neither, height, and sleiaht. The first two words 
 are more frequently and analogically pronounced ec£/terand 
 neether; height is often pronounced so as to rhyme with 
 weight, and would, in all probability, be always so pro- 
 nounced, but for the false supposition, that the abstract 
 must preserve the sound of the verb or adjective from which 
 it ia derived j and, with respect to sleight, though Dr. John- 
 son says it ought to be written slight, as we sometimes see 
 it, yet, if we observe his authorities, we shall find that sev- 
 eral respectable authors spell the word in this manner; and, 
 if we consult Junius and Skinner, particularly the last, we 
 shall see the strongest reason, from etymology, to prefer this 
 spelling, as, in eJI probability, it comes from sly. The ana- 
 logical pronunciation, therefore, of this diphthong, in our 
 own language, is either as heard in vein, rein, &c., or in 
 perceive, receive, &c. The latter is adopted, by many speak- 
 ers, in the present word, as if written Pleeades ; but Plyades, 
 though lesa analogical, must be owned to be the more polite 
 and literary pronunciation. See note on Elegda, in the Termi- 
 national Vocabulary. — [The diphthong ei, in Greek words, 
 should always be pronounced like eye. The varying sound 
 of the English ei can scarcely be produced as an analogy with 
 the Greek. For the other pronunciations alluded to in thia 
 note, the reader is referred to Rules 9, 10, and 11. — Thoi^ 
 LOPE.] [WalkerpronouncesPZg'?^a-d^z in his Dictionary, as 
 do also Perry, Jones, Fulton and Knight, Smart, and Reid. 
 See Pleiads, in this Dictionary. — Editob.] 
 
 t Popilius i(K7i(w. — Nothing can show the dignity of the 
 Roman commonwealth, and the terror of its arms, more than 
 the conduct of this man. He was sent as an ambassador to 
 Antiochus, king of Syria, and was commissioned to order 
 that monarch to abstain from hostilities against Ptolemy,

 king of Egypt, who was an ally of Rome. Antiochus, who 
 was at the head of his army when be received this order, 
 wished to evade it by equivocal answers ; but Fopilius, with 
 a stick which be bad in bis hand, made a circle round him 
 on the sand, and bade him, in the name of the Roman sen- 
 ate and people, not to ^o beyond it before he spoke decisive- 
 ly. This boldness intunidated Antiochus ; be withdrew his 
 garrisons from Egypt, and no longer meditated a war against 
 Ptolemy.

 * Seleuda. — Lempriere and Labbe accent this word on 
 the penultimate, but Ains worth, Gouldman, and Holyoke, 
 on the antepenultimate. As this word, according to Strabo, 
 bad its penultimate formed of the diphthong ei, SeXcuKfia, 
 this syllable ought to have the accent ; but, aa the antepe- 
 nultimate accent is so incorporated into our tongue^I would 
 strongly recommend the pronunciation which an English 
 scholar would give it at first sight, and that ia placing the 
 accent on the u. This is the accent Milton givea it : — 
 
 '*Eden stretched her line 
 
 From Auran eastward to the royal towers 
 Of great Seleucia, built by Grecian kings." 
 
 Par. Lost, b. iv. 
 If, however, the English scholar wishes to shine in the clas- 
 Bical pronunciation of this word, let him take care to pro- 
 nounce the c like s only, and not like «7t, which sound it 
 necessarily has, if the accent be on the antepenultimate 
 syllable. See Rules 10 and 30.— [And notes. The c should 
 properly be pronounced like/c; and the next word should 
 also have the accent on the penultimate. — Trollope — 
 Labbe, Carr, &c., accent the antepenultimate, Se-leu'ci-dm. 
 — Editob.] 
 
 f Serapis. — There is not a dissenting voice among our 
 pro8odista against the pronouncing of this word with the 
 accent on the penultimate syllable ; and yet, to show the 
 tendency of English pronunciation, when a ship of this 
 name had a desperate engagement with one of the French, 
 which attracted the attention of the public, everybody pro- 
 nounced it with the accent on the first syllable. Milton has 
 done the same, in his sublime description of the grandeurs 
 of Pandemonium : — 
 
 " Not Babylon 
 
 Nor great Alcalro such magnificence 
 Equ^ed in all their glories to enshrine 
 Belua or SerapiSj their gods ; or seat 
 Their kings, when Egypt with Assyria strove 
 In wealth and luxury/' 
 
 Par. Lostf b, 1. v. 717. 
 J SergioluB. — I find this word in no dictionary but Lem- 
 priere's, and there the accent is placed upon the penulti- 
 niate, instead of the antepenultimate, syllable. — [Juv. Sat 
 vi. 105 : SergiohLs jam radere guUur. — Trollope.] 
 
 $ Severus. — This word, like SerapiSj ia universally mis- 
 pronounced, by the mere English scholar, with the accent 
 on the first syllable.

 * SmiTitheus. — Tlii3 word, like Orpheus^ and others of the 
 same form, ha3 the accent on the first ayllable; but poets 
 often contract the two last ayllablea into one ; aa Pope : — 
 " O SmintkeuSi sprung from fair Latona's line, 
 Thou guardian power of Cilia the divine I " 
 — See Idomeneus. [And notes. — Editoe.] 
 
 t Sophronicus. — I find this word in no prosodist but 
 Labbe ; and he places the accent on the penultimate sylla- 
 ble, like most other words of this termination; "unless," 
 says he, " any one tbink it more likely to be derived from 
 Sophron, than from victory; " that is, by uniting a general ter- 
 mination to the root of the word, than combining it with 
 another word significant of itself. But, as there is a Greek 
 adjective aio^poi/iK6s, signifying ordained by nature to tetn- 
 perancBf it is much more probable that Sophronicus is this ad- 
 jective, used substantively, than that it should be compound- 
 ed of odj^pioi/ and viKosj conquering- temperance ; and there- 
 fore the antepenultimate accent seema preferable. 
 
 J Sporades* — This word has the accent placed on the first 
 
 syllable by all our prosodists ; but a mere English ear is not 
 only inclined to place the accent on the second syllable, but 
 to pronounce the word aa if it were a dissyllable, Sporades' ; 
 but this is so gross an error that it cannot be too carefully 
 avoided. 
 
 $ Suidas. — This word is generally beard, even among 
 the learned, in two syllables, as if written Sui-das. Labbe, 
 however, makes it three syllables, and accents the first; 
 " although," says he, " by what right I know not, it is gen- 
 erally pronounced with the accent on the penultimate." It 
 may he observed, that, if we place the accent on the first 
 syllable, the i in the second must be pronounced like e ; and 
 that the general pronunciation which Labbe complains of, 
 that of placing the accent on the second syllable, must, in 
 our English pronunciation of Greek or Latin words, pre- 
 serve the i in its long, open sound, as in idle. If, therefore, 
 we pronounce the i in this manner, it is a sufficient proof 
 that we place the accent on the penultimate syllable, which, 
 though common, is, as Labbe observea, without good au- 
 thority.

 * Taifgetus, or Taygeta. — AH our proaodiats, but Lem- 
 prierc, accent tbeae words on the antepenultimate syllable, as 
 if divided into Ta^g'e^us and Tor^g'^ta, I am, therefore, 
 rather inclined to suppose the quantity marked in his Dic- 
 tionary an error of the press. The lines in Lily's Qua 
 Qenus will easily call to the recollection of every scholar 
 how early he adopted the antepenultimate pronuncia- 
 tion : — 
 
 " Tartara, Taygetus, aic Tsenara, Massica, et altus 
 
 Gargarua " 
 
 t Tereas. — For words of this termination, see Idohe- 
 
 NBUa. 
 
 t rfteiej. — Thebes in Egypt was called HecaUm'pyloa, 
 from having a hundred gates j and Thebes in Greece, /Top. 
 tap'yloBj from its seven gates.

 * Thessalonica. — Tliia word, like every other of a aimilar 
 termination, ia Bure to be pronounced, by a mere Engliah 
 Bcholar, with the accent on the third syllable ; but thia muat 
 be avoided, on pain of literary excommunication. 
 
 t Tkm, a phyaician of Egypt. Milton apella thia word 
 
 ns 
 
 with the final e, malting it one ayllable only, and conse- 
 quently pronouncing it so as to rhyme with tone; — 
 " Not that Nepenthe, which the wife of Thone, 
 In Egypt, gave to Jove-born Helena^ 
 
 Is of such power to stir up joy as this."

 * TVoUus. — Thia word is almost alwaya heard as if it 
 were two syllablea only, and aa if written Troy'lus. This is 
 a corruption of the first magnitude : the vowela should be 
 kept separate, as if written Tro'e-lus. — See Zoilus. 
 
 ■f Tynneus. — Thia word is only used as an adjective to 
 ApoUonius, the celebrated Pythagorean philosopher, and is 
 formed from the town of Tyana, where he was bom. The 
 natural formation of this adjective would, undoubtedly, be 
 Tyaneust with the accent on the antepenultimate syllable. 
 Labbe, at the word 7)fana, aaya, " Et inde deductum Tya- 
 neiis, quidquid sciam reclamare nonnullos sed immerito, ut 
 satis norunt eraditi." 
 
 The numberless authorities which might be brought for 
 pronouncing this word either way, sufficiently show how 
 equivocal is ita accent^ and of how little importance it is to 
 which we give the preference. My private opinion coin- 
 cides with Labbe ; but, as we generally find it written with 
 the diphthong, we may presume the penultimate accent has 
 prevailed, and that it ia the safeat to follow. — [Unquestion- 
 ably. — Trollopb. — Carr accents it Ty-a'ne-u3. — Editob,] 
 
 X Tydeus, — This word, like several othera of the aame 
 termination, was pronounced by the Greeks sometimes in 
 
 three, and sometimes in two, syllablea, the en considered as 
 a diphthong. When It was pronounced in three syllables, 
 the penultimate syllable was long, and the accent was on it, 
 aa we find it in a verse of Wilkie's Epigoniadi — 
 " Venua, atill partial to the Theban arms, 
 T)fdeus' son seduced by female charms.'* 
 
 But the most prevailing pronunciation was that with the 
 antepenultimate accent, as we generally find it in Pope's 
 Homer : — 
 
 " Next came Idomeneua and Tydeus' son, 
 Ajax the less, and Ajax Telamon." 
 — See Idomewetjs. Po'='« ^'^ ^' "• ^- ^• 
 
 $ Venafrwm. — Though the accent may be placed either 
 on the antepenultimate or the penultimate syllable of this 
 word, the latter is by far the preferable, as it is adopted by 
 Lempriere, Labbe, Gouldman, [also Carr,] and other good 
 authorities. — [Mart. Epig. xiii. 101. 1 : Bacca FmafrL So 
 Hor. Od. ii. 6. 16. — Thoixope.] 
 
 II Vemigo. — I have given this word the penultimate ac- 
 cent, with Lempriere, in opposition to Ainsworth, who 
 adopts the antepenultimate.

 tCF Bt inspecting the foregoing Vocabulary, we see that, notwithstanding all the barriers with which the learned 
 have guarded the accentuation of the dead languages, still some words there are which despise their laws, and 
 boldly adopt the analogy of English pronunciation. It is true, the catalogue of these is not very numeroua ; 
 for, as an error of this kind incurs the penalty of being thought illiterate and vulgar, it ia no wonder that a 
 pedantic adherence to Greek and Latin should, in doubtful cases, be generally preferred. 
 
 But as the letters of the dead languages have insensibly changed their sound by passing into the living 
 ones, so it is impossible to preserve the accent from sliding, sometimes, into the analogies of our own tongue ; 
 and when once words of this kind are fixed in the public ear, it is not only a useless, but a pernicious, ped- 
 antry to disturb them. Who could hear, without pity, of Alexander's passing the River Grani'cus, j: or of his 
 marrying the sister of Parys'atis ? These words, and several others, must be looked upon as planets shot 
 from their original spheres, and moving round another centre. 
 
 After all the care, therefore, that has been taken to accent words according to the best authorities, some 
 have been found so differently marked by different prosodists, as to make it no easy matter to know to which 
 we shall give the preference. In this case, I have ventured to give my opinion, without presuming to decide, 
 and merely as an ''Srmrix'ov, or Interim, till the learned have pronounced the final sentence. 
 
 * Zenodotus, — All our prosodists but Lempriere give this 
 word the antepenultimate accent ; and, till a good reason be 
 given why it should differ from Herodotus, I must beg leave 
 to follow the majority. 
 
 t Zmlus. The two vowels, in this word, are always sep- 
 arated in the Greek and Latin ; but, in the English pronun- 
 ciation of it, they are frequently blended into a diphthong, 
 as in the words oU, boil, See. This, however, is an illiterate 
 
 pronunciation, and should be avoided. The word should 
 have three syllables, and be pronounced as if written Zo'e- 
 lus. 
 
 f [Notwithstanding this remark. Walker has placed this 
 word with the accent on the penultimate (Qrani'cus) in 
 his TermiTuitiojuil yocalmlary; and it stands first with the 
 same accent in his Initial Vocabidarij. — See GnApricns. —

PREFACE 
 
 TO THE TERMINATIONAL VOCABULARY. 
 
 Taking a retrospective view of language, or surveying it in its terminations, affords not only a new, but an 
 advantageous view of all languages. The necessity of this view induced me, several years ago, to arrange the 
 whole English language according to its terminations; and this arrangement I found of infinite use to me in 
 consulting the analogies of our tongue. A conviction of its utility made me desirous of arranging the Greek 
 and Latin proper names in the same manner, and more particularly, as the pronunciation of these languages 
 depends more on the termination of words than any other we are acquainted with. Of such utility is this 
 arrangement supposed to be in the Greek language, that the son of the famous Hoogeveen, who wrote on the 
 Greek Particles, has actually printed such a Dictionary, which only waits for a preface to be published. The 
 labor of such a selection and arrangement must have been prodigious. Nor is the task I have undertaken, in 
 the present work, a slight one ; but the idea of rendering the classical pronunciation of proper names still more 
 easy, encouraged me to persevere in the labor, however dry and fatiguing. 
 
 I flattered myself 1 had already promoted this end, by dividing the proper names into syllables upon analogi- 
 cal principles, but hoped I could still add to the facility of recollecting their pronunciation, by the arrangement 
 here adopted ; which, in the first place, exhibits the accent and quantity of every word by its termination. 
 
 In the next place, it shows the extent of this accentuation, by producing, at one view, all the words differ- 
 ently accented, by which means may be formed the rule and the exception. 
 
 Thirdly, when the exceptions are but few and less apt to be regarded, by Seeing them contrasted with the 
 rule they are imprinted more strongly on the memory, and are the more easily recollected. Thus, by seeing 
 that Sperchius, Xenophoniiua, and Darius are the only words of that very numerous termination which have 
 the accent on the penultimate, we are at perfect ease about all the rest. 
 
 Fourthly, by seeing that all words ending in enea have universally the antepenultimate accent, we easily 
 recollect that the pronunciation of J^UTnenes with the accent on the penultimate is radically wrong, and is only 
 tolerated because adopted by some respectable writers. Thus, too, the numerous termination in ades is seen 
 to be perfectly antepenultimate ; and the ambiguous termination in ides is freed, in some measure, from its 
 intricacy, by seeing the extent of both forms contrasted. This contrast, without being obliged to go to Greek 
 etymologies, shows, at one view, when this termination has the accent on the penultimate i, as in Tydides, and 
 when it transfers the accent to the antepenultimate, as in Thueydides ; which depends entirely on the quantify 
 of the original word from which these patronymics are formed. 
 
 And, lastly, when the number of words pronounced with a different accent are nearly equal, we can, at least, 
 find some way of recollecting their several accentuations better than if they were promiscuously mingled with 
 all the rest of the words in the language. By frequently repeating them, as they stand together, the ear will 
 gain a habit of placing the accent properly, without knowing why it does so. In short, if Labbe's Catholi^i 
 Indices, which is in the hands of all the learned, be useful for readily finding the accent and quantity of proper 
 names, the present Index cannot fail to be much more so, as it not only associates them by their accent and 
 quantity, but according to their termination also ; and by this additional association, it must necessarily render 
 any diversity of accent more easily perceived and remembered. 
 
 To all which advantages it may be added, that this arrangement has enabled me to point out the true sound 
 of every termination ; by which means, those who are totally unacquainted with the learned languages, will find 
 themselves instructed in the true pronunciation of the final letters of every word, as well as its accent and 
 quantity. 
 
 It need scarcely be observed, that in the following Index, almost all words of two syllables are omitted ; for, 
 as dissyllables in the Greek and Latin languages are always pronounced with the accent on the first, it was 
 needless to insert them. The same may be observed of such words as have the vowel in the penultimate sylla- 
 ble followed by two consonants ;. for in this case, unless the former of these consonants were a mute, and the 
 latter a liquid, the penultimate vowel was always long, and consequently always had the accent. This analogy 
 takes place in our pronunciation of words from the Hebrew, which, with the exception of some few that 
 have been Anglicized, such as Bethleliemite, Nazarene, &c., have the accent, like the Greek and Latin words, 
 either on the penultimate or antepenultimate syllable. 
 
 It might have been expected that I should have confined myself to the insertion of proper names alone, 
 without bringing in the gentile adjectives, as they are called, which are derived from them. This omission 
 would, undoubtedly, have saved me immense trouble ; but these adjectives, being sometimes used as substan- 
 tives, made it difficult to draw the line ; and, as the analogy of accentuation was, in some measure, connected 
 with these adjectives, I hoped the trouble of collecting and arranging them would not be entirely thrown away.

 * Ele^eia. — The ancients sometimes separated the vowels 
 ei in this termination, and sometimes pronounced them as a 
 diphthong. The general mode of pronouncing them with 
 us is to consider them as a diphthong, and to pronounce it 
 as long or double e ; which, from its squeezed sound, ap- 
 proaches to the initial y^ and makes these words pronounced 
 as if written El-e-je'yah, Iiy-j6'yahj &c. This is the pro- 
 nunciation which ought to be adopted ; but scholars who 
 are fond of displaying their knowledge of Greek will be 
 sure to pronounce Elegeia, Hygeia^ or rather Hygieia^ An- 
 thcia^ and Deiopeia, with the diphthong like the noun eye ; 
 wbile Cartkeiaj or CarteiajAguileia, Pompeia, and Tarpeia, of 
 Latin original, are permitted to have their diphthongs 
 sounded like double c, or, which is nearly the same thing, 
 if the vowels be separated, to sound the e long, as in egual, 
 and the i as 3/ consonant, articulating the final a. — See

 fironounced with the ei forming a diptithong, and sounded 
 ike the noun eye, are more generally heard like the adjec- 
 tives ; so that the whole list may be fairly included under 
 the same general rule, that of sounding the e separately, 
 and the i like y consonant, as in the similar terminations in 
 eia and ia. This is the more necessary in these words, as 
 the accented e and the unaccented i are ao much alike as to 
 require the sound of the initial or consonant j/, in order to

PRONUNCIATION 
 
 OF 
 
 8CRIPTUEE PROPER NAMES. 
 
 ADYERTISEMENT. 
 
 The true pronunciation of the Hebrew language, as Doctor Lowth observes, is lost. To refer us 
 for assistance to the Masoretic points, would be to launch us on a sea without shore or bottom. The 
 only compass by which we can possibly steer, on this boundless ocean, is the Septuagint version of 
 the Hebrew Bible ; and as it is highly probable the translators transfused the sound of the Hebrew 
 proper names into the Greek, it gives us something like a, clew to guide us out of the labyrinth. 
 But even here, we are often left to guess our way ; for the Greek word is frequently so different 
 from the Hebrew, as scarcely to leave any traces of similitude between them. In this case custom 
 and analogy must often decide, and the ear must sometimes solve the difficulty. But these difficul- 
 ties relate chiefly to the accentuation of Hebrew words ; and the method adopted in this point will 
 be seen in its proper place. 
 
 I must here acknowledge my obligations to a very learned and useful work, — the " Scripture Lex- 
 icon " of Mr. Oliver. As the first attempt to facilitate the pronunciation of Hebrew proper names, 
 by dividing them into syllables, it deserves the highest praise ; but, as I have often differed widely 
 from this gentleman in syllabication, accentuation, and the sound of the vowels, I have thought it 
 necessary to give my reasons for this difference, which will be seen under the Rules ; of the valid- 
 ity of which reasons the reader will be the best judge. 
 
 N. B. As there are many Greek and Latin proper names in Scripture, particularly in the New 
 Testament, which are to be met with in ancient history, some of them have been omitted in this 
 selection ; and therefore, if the inspector do not find them here, he is desired to seek for them in 
 the Vocabulary of Greek and Latin Names. 
 
 RULES FOR PRONOUNCING SCRIPTURE PROPER NAMES. 
 
 1. In the pronunciation of the letters of the Hebrew 
 proper names, we find nearly the same rules prevail as 
 in those of Greek and Latin. Where the vowels end 
 a syllable with the accent on it, they have their long, 
 open sound; as, Na'bal, Je'hu, Si'rach, Go'shm, and 
 Tuibal. — See Rule 1, prefixed to the Greek and Latin 
 Proper Names. 
 
 2. When a consonant ends the syllable, the preced- 
 
 * [Mr. Oliver U unquestionably right in principle, and 
 Mr. Wallier wrong ; but, thougb the analogy both of the 
 Greek and Hebrew is in favor of the former, the general 
 
 ing vowel is short ; as, 8am'u-el, Lem'u-el, Sim'e-cm, 
 Sol'o-mon, Suc'coth, Syn'a-gogue. (See Rule 2, pre- 
 fixed to the Greek and Latin Proper Names.) I here 
 difi'er widely from Mr. Oliver ; for I cannot agree with 
 him that the e in Abdiel, the o in Amon, and the u in 
 Ashur, are to he pronounced like the ee in seen, the o 
 in tone, and the u in tvne, which is the rule he lays 
 down for all similar words.* 
 
 practice, and the analogy of the English language, are 
 in favor of the latter. — Tkollope.]

 RULES FOR PRONOUNCING SCRIPTURE PROPER NAMES. 
 
 3. Every final t forming a distinct syllable, though 
 unaccented, has the long, open sound, as A% A-Hs'a-i. 
 — See Rule 4-, prefixed to the Greek and Latin Proper 
 Names. 
 
 4. Every unaccented i ending a syllable not final, 
 is pronounced like e, as A'ri-el-j ^A'rft-e^, pronounced 
 A're-el, ^6'de-fiZ. — See Rule 4;.prfeflxed t(* th* Gfeek^ 
 and Latin Proper Names. 
 
 5. The vowels ai are sometimes pronounced in one 
 syllable, and sometimes in two. As the Septuaglnt 
 version is our chief guide in the pronunciation of He- 
 brew proper names, it may be observed, that when 
 these letters are pronounced as a diphthong^ in one 
 syllable, like our English diphthong in the \*'drd daUy, 
 they are either a diphthong in the Greek word, or ex- 
 pressed by the Greeke or i; a.SjBenai'ah, Bavala; Hu'- 
 shaij Xoai ; Hu'rai, OvqI, &c. ; and that when they 
 are pronounced in two syllables, as Sham'ma4f Shmh'- 
 Ori, Ber-a-i'ahf it is because the Greek words by which 
 they are translated, as, 2afiai, SeaU, BaQa'ia, make 
 two syllables of these vowels. Mr. Oliver has not al- 
 ways attended to this distinction : he makes Siri^a-d 
 three syllables, though the Greeks made it but two in 
 2ivh. That accurate prosodist, Labbe, indeed, makes 
 it a trisyllable; but he doe's the same by ^aron and 
 Canaaiti, which our great classic, Milton, uniformly re- 
 duces to two syll-ables, as well as StTiai. If we were 
 to pronounce it in three syllables, we must necessa- 
 rily make the first syllable short, as in Shim'e-i; but 
 this is so contrary to the best usage, that it amounts to 
 a proof that it ought td be pronounced in two sylla- 
 bleis, with the first i long, as in Shinar. This, how- 
 ever, must be looked upon as a general rule only j these 
 vowels in Isaiah, Grjecized by 'Hca'iag, are always 
 pronounced as a diphthong, or at least with the ac- 
 cent on the a, and the i like y, articulating the suc- 
 ceeding vowel : in Caia/phas, likewise, the ai is pro- 
 nounced like a diphthong, though divided in the Greek 
 Kaiu(pag ; * which division cannot take place in this 
 word, because the i must then necessarily have the 
 accent, and* must be pronounced as in Isaac, as Mr. 
 Oliver has marked it, but I think contrary to universal 
 usage. The only point necessary to be observed in 
 thesound of this diphthong, is the slight difference we 
 perceive between its medial and final position; when 
 it is final, it is exactly like the E^nglish ay without the 
 accent, as in kolyday, roundelay, gaUoway ; but when 
 it is in the middle of a word, and followed by a vowel, 
 the i is pronounced as if it were y, and as if this y 
 articulated the succeeding vowel ; thus Ben-ai'ah is 
 pronounced as if written Ben-a'yah. 
 
 6. Ch is pronounced like k, as Chebar, Chemosh, 
 Enoch, &c., pronounced Kebar, Kemosh, Enoch, &-c. 
 Cherubim and Rachel seem to be perfectly Anglicized, 
 as the ch, in these words, is always heard as in the 
 English words cheer, child, riches, &.c. (See Rule 12, 
 prefixed to the Greek and Latin Proper Names.) Tlie 
 same may be observed of Cherub, signifying an order 
 of angels ; but when it means a city of the Babylonish 
 empire, it ought to be pronounced Ke'rub. t 
 
 7. Almost the only difference in the pronuiLciation 
 of the Hebrew, and the Greek and Latin, proper names, 
 is in the sound of the g before c and i. In the last two 
 languages, this consonant is always soft before these 
 
 * [It is not necessary to make either 'Kaalas or Kaid^as 
 more than a trisyllable. — Trollope.] 
 
 f [Accordinsto analogy, cA should always be pronounced 
 like k; and a Hebraist, in reading Hebrew, would so pro- 
 nounce it, as well in Cherub as m Chebar. This would, 
 however, savor of affectation in English j and even the ap- 
 
 vowels ; as, GeUius, Gippius, &c., pronounced Jellius^ 
 Jippius, &.C. ; and in the first it is hard ; as, Gera, Ger- 
 izim, Gideon, GUgid, Megiddo, Megiddon, &.c. This 
 difference is without all foundation in etymology ; for 
 both g and c were always hard in the Greek and Latin 
 languages, as well aa in the Hebrew ; but, the latter lan- 
 g6ag0 bein^ stiidied so much less than the Greek and 
 Latin, it has not undergone that change which famil- 
 iarity is sure to produce in all languages j and even the 
 solemn distance of this language has not been able to 
 keep the letter c from sliding into s, before e and i, in 
 the same manner as in the Greek and Latin j thus, 
 though Gehazi, Gideon, dec, have the g hard, Cedrom, 
 Cedron, Cisai, and dttem ha+e tHe V soft, as if writ- 
 ten Sedrom, Sedron, &c. The same may be observed 
 of Igeabarim, Igeal, Nagge, Shage, Fagiel, with the 
 g hard, and Oddelvs, Ocina, and Pharacwn, with the 
 c soft like 8. X 
 
 8. Gentiles, as they are called, ending in ines and 
 ites, aa Philistines, Himtes, Hittites, &c., being Angli- 
 cized in the translation of the Bible, are pronounced 
 like formatives" of our own; ^js, Philistine, Whitjield- 
 ites, Jacobites, &lc. 
 
 9. The unaccented termination ah, so frequent in He- 
 brew proper names, ought to be pronounced like the a in 
 father. The a in this termination', however, frequent- 
 ly falls into the indistinct sound heard in the final a in 
 AJHca, .^trta, &c. ; nor can we easily perceive any 
 distinction, in this respect, between Elijah and Elisha; 
 but the final h preserves the other vowels open ; as, 
 Colhozeh, Shiloh, &c., pronounced Colhozee, Shilo, 
 &c. (See Rule 7, prefixed to the Greek and Latin 
 Proper Names.) The diphthong ei is always pro- 
 nounced like eej thus Sa-mei'us is pronounced as if 
 written Sa-mee'us. But if the accent be on the ah, 
 then the a ought to be pronounced like the a in fa- 
 ther ; as, Tak'C'ra, Tah'pe^nes, &c. 
 
 10. It may be remarked, that there are several He- 
 brew proper names, which, by passing through the 
 Greek of the New Testament, have conformed to the 
 Greek pronunciation; such as Aceldama, Genezareth, 
 Bethpfiage, &c., pronounced Aseldama, Jenezareth, 
 Bethphaje, &c. This is, in my opinion, more agreea- 
 ble to the general analogy of pronouncing these He- 
 brew-Greek words, than preserving the c and g hard. 
 
 Rules for Ascertaining the English Quantity of 
 the Vowels in Hebrew Proper JVames. 
 
 II. With respect to the quantity of the first vowel 
 in dissyllables, with but one consonant in the middle, 1 
 have followed the rule which we observe in the pro- 
 nunciation of such dissyllables, when Greek or Latin 
 words, (see Rule 18, prefixed to the Greek and Latin 
 Proper Thames;)' and that is, to place the accent on the 
 first vowel, and to pronounce that vowel long, as, iCo'- 
 rah, and not Kor'ah, Mo'loch, and not MoVoch, as Mr. 
 Oliver has divided them, in opposition both to analogy 
 and the best usage. I have observed the same analogy 
 in the penultimate of polysyllables, and have not di- 
 vided Balthasar into Bal-thas'ar, as Mr. Oliver haa 
 done, but into Baltha'sar. 
 
 pearance of affectation, in reading the Scriptures, cannot be 
 too studiously avoided. —Trollope.]

 sally hard, as partially; and as many of the clergy call the 
 word Kedronaa Sedron. — Tbollopx.] 
 
RULES FOR PRONOUNCING SCRIPTURE PROPER NAMES. 
 
 12. In the same manner, when the accent is on the 
 antepenultimate syllable, whether the vowel end the 
 syllable or be followed by two consonants, the vowel 
 is always short, except followed by two vowels, as in 
 Greek and Latin proper names. (See Rules prefixed 
 to these names, Nos. 18, 19, 20, &c.) Thus Jeho»a- 
 pAafhas the accent on the antepenultimate syllable, 
 according to Greek accentuation by quantity, (see In- 
 troduction to this work,) and this syllable, according 
 to the clearest analogy of English pronunciation, is 
 short, as if spelt Je-hos'a-phat. The secondary accent 
 has the same shortening power in Othonias, where the 
 primary accent is on the third, and the secondary on 
 the first syllable, as if spelt Oth-o-nVas; and it is on 
 these two fundamental principles of our own pronun- 
 ciation, namely, the lengthening power of the penulti- 
 mate, and the shortening power of the antepenultimate 
 accent, that I hope I have been enabled to regulate 
 and fix many of those sounds which were floating about 
 in uncertainty, and which, for want of this guide, are 
 differently marked by different orthoepists, and often 
 differently by the same orthoepist. 
 
 Rides for Placing the Accent on Hebrew Proper 
 JVam.es. 
 
 13. With respect to the accent of Hebrew words, it 
 cannot be better regulated than by the laws of the 
 Greek language. I do not mean, however, that every 
 Hebrew word which is Grsecized by the Septuagint 
 should be accented exactly according to the Greek 
 rule of accentuation ; for if this were the case, every 
 word ending in el would never have the accent higher 
 than the preceding syllable ; because it was a general 
 rule in the Greek language, that when the last syllable 
 was long, the accent could not be higher than the pe- 
 nultimate. Nay, strictly speaking, were we to accent 
 these words according to the accent of that language, 
 they ought to have the accent on the last syllable, be- 
 cause '^(iSii'^X. and 'Jffgaij'A, Abdiel and Israel, have 
 the accent on that syllable. It may be said that this 
 accent on the last syllable is the grave, which, when 
 on the last word of a sentence, or succeeded by an 
 enclitic, was changed into an acute. But here, as in 
 words purely Greek, we find the Latin analogy prevail ; 
 and because the penultimate is short, the accent is 
 placed on the antepenultimate, in the same manner as 
 in Socrates, Sosihenes, &c., though the final syllable 
 of the Greek words SojxQuTTjg^ 2o30&ivt]g, &c., is 
 long, and the Greek accent on the penultimate. (See 
 Introduction prefixed to the Rules for Pronouncing 
 Greek and Latin Proper Names.) It is this general 
 prevalence of accenting according to the Latin anal- 
 ogy, that has induced me, when the Hebrew word has 
 been Grjecized in the same number of syllables, to 
 prefer the Latin accentuation to what may be called 
 our own. Thus, Cathua coming to us through the 
 Greek KixiovU, I have accented it on the penultimate, 
 because the Latins would have placed the accent on 
 this syllable, on account of its being long, though an 
 English ear would be better pleased with the antepe- 
 nultimate accent. The same reason has induced me 
 to accent Chaseha on the antepenultimate, because it 
 is Graecized into Xantflu. But when the Hebrew and 
 Greek word does not contain the same number of syl- 
 
 * [The reader must judge how far this rule, in minor not entirely accord with it. The accentuation should cer 
 points, is correct. It is needless to say, that the editor can- | tainly be Mem'tah, Idu'el. — Trollopi.] 
 
 909 
 
 lables, as iKesMoA, Meff<«(S(a, Id'u-el, -liovaog it 
 then comes under our own analogy, and we neglect 
 the Jong vowel, and place the accent on the antepe- 
 nultimate. The same may be observed of Mordecai 
 from Ma^jiojcaiog.* ' 
 
 14. As we never accent a proper name from the 
 Greek on the last syllable, (not because the Greeks did 
 not accent the last syllable, for they had many words 
 accented in that manner, but because this accentuation 
 was contrary to the Latin prosody,) so if the Greek 
 word be accented on any other syllable, we seldom pay 
 any regard to it, unless it coincide with the Latin ac- 
 cent. Thus in the word Gede'rah, I have placed the 
 accent on the penultimate, because it is Gracized by 
 rudriqa, where the accent is on the antepenultimate ; 
 and this because the penultimate is long, and this long 
 penultimate has always the accent in Latin. (See this 
 further exemplified. Rule 18, prefixed to the Greek and 
 Latin Proper Names, and Introduction, near the end..) 
 Thus, though it may seem, at first sight, absurd to 
 derive our pronunciation of Hebrew words from the 
 Greek, and then to desert the Greek for the Latin, yet, 
 since we must have some rule, and, if possible, a 
 learned one, it is very natural to lay hold of the 
 Latin, because it is nearest at hand. For as language 
 is a mixture of reasoning and convenience, if the true 
 reason lie too remote from common apprehension, 
 another more obvious one is generally adopted ; and 
 this last, by general usage, becomes a rule superior to 
 the former. It is true, the analogy of our own lan- 
 guage would be a rule the most rational ; but while 
 the analogies of our own language are so little under- 
 stood, and the Greek and Latin languages are so justly 
 admired, even the appearance of being acquainted with 
 them will always be esteemed reputable, and infallibly 
 lead us to an imitation of them, even in such points 
 as are not only insignificant in themselves, but incon- 
 sistent with our vernacular pronunciation. 
 
 15. It is remarkable that all words ending in ias and 
 iah have the accent on the i, without any foundation 
 in the analogy of Greek and Latin pronunciation, ex- 
 cept the very vague reason that the Greek word places 
 the accent on this syllable. I call this reason vague, 
 because the Greek accent has no influence on words in 
 ael, iel, ial, &c. ; as, 'IffQccifX^ ^.A^Sn'jX, BsXiaX, x. T. H. 
 Hence we may conclude the impropriety of pro- 
 nouncing Messias with the accent on the first syllable, 
 according to Labbe, who says we must pronounce it 
 in this manner, if we wish to pronounce it like the 
 French with the os rotundum et facundum / and, in- 
 deed, if the i were to be pronounced in the French 
 manner, like e, placing the accent on the first syllable 
 seems to have the bolder sound. This may serve as 
 an answer to the learned critic, the editor of Labbe, 
 who says, "The Greeks, but not the French, pronounce 
 ore rotunda ; " for though the Greeks might place the 
 accent on the i in Meaalag, yet as they certainly pro- 
 nounced this vowel as the French do, it must have the 
 same slender sound, and the accent on the first sylla- 
 ble must, in that respect, be preferable to it ; for the 
 Greek i, like the same letter in Latin, was the slen- 
 derest of all the vowel sounds. It is the broad, diph- 
 thongal sound of the English i, with the accent on it, 
 which makes this word sound so much better in Eng- 
 lish than it does in French, or even in the true ancient 
 Greek pronunciation. 
 
 16. The termination aim seems to attract the accent 
 
910 
 
 RULES FOR PRONOUNCING SCRIPTURE PROPER NAMES, 
 
 on the a only in words of more than three syllables, as 
 E'phrOrim and iliizVo-im have the accent on the ante- 
 penultimate; but Ho-ro-na'tnij Ram-a-iha'im, &,c., on 
 the penultimate syllable. This is a general rule 3 but, 
 if the Greek word have the penultimate long, the 
 accent ought to be on that syllable j as, Phar-va'im, 
 ^aQovifi^ &c. 
 
 17. Kemuel, Jemuel, Nemuel, and other words of the 
 same form, having the same number of syJlables as the 
 Greek words into which they are translated, ought to 
 have the accent on the penultimate, as that syllable is 
 long in Greek; but Emanuel, Samuel, and Lemuel,^ 
 are irrecoverably fixed in the antepenultimate accentu- 
 ation, and show the true analogy of the accentuation 
 of our own language. 
 
 18. Thus we see what has been observed of the ten- 
 dency of Greek and Latin words to desert their origi- 
 nal accent, and to adopt that of the English, is much 
 more observable In words from the Hebrew. Greek 
 and Latin words are fixed in their pronunciation by a 
 thousand books written expressly upon the subject, and 
 ten thousand occasions of using them ; but Hebrew 
 words, from the remote antiquity of the language, from 
 the paucity of books in it, from its being originally 
 written without points, and the very different style 
 of its poetry from that of other Janguages, afford us 
 scarcely any criterion to recur to for settling their 
 pronunciation, which must, therefore, often be irreg- 
 ular and desultory. The Septuagint, indeed, gives us 
 some light, and is the only star by which we can steer ; 
 but this is so frequently obscured as to leave us in the 
 dark, and force us to pronounce according to the anal- 
 ogy of our own language. It were to be wished, indeed, 
 that this were to be entirely adopted in Hebrew words, 
 
 * [Not Lemuel, which is frequently pronounced with the 
 penultimate accent. Emanuel and ^imud are so completely 
 
 where we have so little to determine us, and that those 
 words which we have worn into our own pronuncia- 
 tion were to be a rule for all others of the same form 
 and termination ; but it is easier to bring about a revo- 
 lution in kingdoms than in languages. Men of learn- 
 ing will always form a sort of literary aristocracy; they 
 will be proud of the distinction which a knowledge of 
 languages gives them above the vulgar, and will be 
 fond of showing this knowledge, which the vulgar will 
 never fail to admire and imitate. 
 
 The best we can do, therefore, is to make a sort of 
 compromise between this ancient language and our 
 own ; to form a kind of compound ratio of Hebrew, 
 Greek, Latin, and English, and to let each of these 
 prevail as usage has permitted them. Thus Eman- 
 uel, Samuel, Lemuel, which, according to the Latin 
 analogy and our own, have the accent on the antepe- 
 nultimate syllable, ought to remain in quiet posses- 
 sion of their present pronunciation, notwithstanding the 
 GreeX 'Efi^avoviilX^ Sa^oviqi., Aefiov^X ; but Elislma, 
 Esdrelon, Gederah, may have the accent on the penul- 
 timate, because the Greek words into which they are 
 translated, 'EXiaovif ^EadQTjkoifi^ T'adijQa, have the 
 penultimate long. If this should not appear a satisfac- 
 tory method of settling the pronunciation of these 
 words, I must entreat those who dissent from it to 
 point out a better. A work of this kind was wanted 
 for general use ; it is addressed neither to the learned 
 nor the illiterate, but to that large and most respecta- 
 ble part of society who have a tincture of letters, but 
 whose avocations deny them the opportunity of culti- 
 vating them. To these a work of this kind cannot 
 fail of being useful ; and by its utility to these the 
 author wishes to stand or fall. .

 INITIAL YOCABTJLARY. 
 
 In this edition of this Key, the pronunciation of the 
 words is in accordance with Walker's principles, 
 but designated by the use of marked letters. All 
 the words that seemed to need it, have been re- 
 spelled, and thus any special reference, by numbers, 
 to the preceding Rides of Walker, is rendered un- 
 necessary. 
 
 With respect to the pronunciation of a considerable 
 number of words, the deviations of several orthofi- 
 
 pists from Walker, are exhibited. These orthofipists 
 are Oliver, Perry, Smart, Carr, and also Taylor 
 the editor of " Calmet's Dictionary of the Bible." 
 In relation to the words of which there is a di- 
 versity of pronunciation, the pronunciation given 
 by Walker always stands first. 
 The abbreviation (O.) stands for Oliver; (F) for

 * Jlaron. — This is a word of three syllables in Labbe, 
 who says it is used to be pronounced with the accent on 
 the penultimate ; but the general pronunciation of this 
 word in English is in two syllables, with the accent on the 
 first, and as if written ^'ron. Milton uniformly gives it 
 this syllabication and accent : — 
 
 " Till by two brethren (those two brethren call 
 Moses and ^aron) sent from God to claim 
 His people from inthralment." 
 
 Par. Lost, b. xii. v. 170. 
 
 t Alarim, — This and some other words are decided in 
 their accentuation, by Milton, in the following verses : — 
 " From Aroar to Nebo, and the wild 
 Of soiitbmost AbaHm in Hesebon, 
 And Horonaim, Seon's realm, beyond 
 The flowery dale of Sibma clad with vines, 
 And Ele'416 to th' Asphaltic pool." 
 
 Par. Lost J b, i. v. 407. 
 
 - Yet his temple high 
 
 Beared in Azotus, dreaded through the coast 
 
 Of Palestine, in Gath and Ascalon, 
 
 And Accaron and Gaza's frontier bounds." 
 
 lb. 463. 
 
 X MbratTif or Abraham, — The first name, of two syllables, 
 was the patriarch's original name ; but God increased it to 
 the second, of three syllables, as a pledge of an increase in 
 blessing. The latter name, however, from the feebleness 
 of the % in our pronunciation of it, and from the absence 
 of the accent, is liable to such an hiatus, from the proxim- 
 ity of two similar vowels, that, in the most solemn pronun- 
 ciation, we seldom hear this name extended to three sylla- 
 bles. Milton has but once pronounced it in this manner, 
 but has six times made it only two syllables ; and this may 
 be looked upon as the general pronunciation. 
 
 $ Adonai, — Labbe, says his editor, makes this a word of 
 three syllables only ; which, if once admitted, why, saya

 timate, (^m'a~*a.) — Editor.] 
 
 ■f Amen. — The only aimple word in the language which

 J Anathema. — Those who are not acquainted with the 
 profound researches of verbal critics, would be astonished 
 to observe what waste of learning baa been bestowed on 
 this word by Labbe, in order to ahnw that it ought to be 
 accented on the antepenultimate syllable. This prontincia- 
 tion baa been adopted by English scholars ; though some 
 divines have been heard, from the pulpit, to give it the 
 penultimate accent, which so readily unites it in a trochaic 
 pronunciation with tnaranatha^ in the First Epistle of St. 
 FauJ to the Corinthians: "If any man love not the Lord 
 Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema maranatha," 
 
 $ Areopagus. — There is a atrong propensity, in English 
 readers of the New Testament, to pronounce this word 
 
 with the accent on the penultimate syllable } and even 
 some foreign scholars have contended that it ought to be 
 so pronounced, from its derivation from "Apcoj Traj-ai', the 
 Doric dialect for irr/ynv, the fountain of Mars^ which was 
 on a hill in Athens, rather than from^Apcws Tayus, the hill 
 of Mars. But Labbe very justly despisea this derivation, 
 and says, that of all the ancient writers, none have said 
 that the Areopagtts was derived from a fountain, or from a 
 country near to a fountain ; but all have confessed that it 
 came from a hill, or the summit of a rock, on which thia 
 famous court of judicature was built. Vossius tells us that 
 St. Augustine, De Civ. Dei, 1. x. cap. 10, calls this word 
 paffum Martis, the village of Mars, and that he ft-U into this 
 error because the Latin word pagiis signifies a village or 
 street ; but, says he, the Greek word signifies a hill, which, 
 perhap:!, waa ao call'd from iraya or nnyVi ('hat is, foun- 
 tain,) because fountains usually take their rise on hills. 
 Wrong, however, as thia derivation may be, he tells us it is 
 adopted by no le<ja scholars than Beza, Budffiiis, and Sigo- 
 nius. And thia may show us the uncertainty of etymology 
 in language, and the security of general usage ; but, in the 
 present case, both etymology and usage conspire to place 
 the accent on the antepenultimate syllable. Agreeably to 
 this usage, we find the prologue to a play observe that 
 " The critics are assembled in the pit, 
 And form an Areopagus of wit."

 * Asmadai. — Mr. Oliver has not inserted this word, but 
 we have it in Milton : — 
 
 " On each wing 
 Uriel and Rapha^ hia vaunting foe, 
 Though huge, and in a rock of diamond armed. 
 Vanquished, Adramelech and Msmadai," 
 
 Par. Lost, b. vi. v. 365. 
 Whence we may guess the poet's pronunciation of it in 
 
 115 
 
 three ayllablea ; the diphthong sounding like the ai in daUy- 
 — See Rule 5, and the words Sinai and Adoitai. 
 
 t Jliazel. — This word is not in Mr. Oliver'a Lexicon; 
 but Milton makes use of it, and places the accent on the 
 second ayllable : — 
 
 that proud honor claimed 
 
 Jlzazel as hia right ; a cherub tall.' 
 
 Par. Lost, b. i. v. 534.

 * Bethphage. — This word is generally pronounced, by 
 the illiterate, in two ayllables, and without the second A, aa 
 if written Beth'page. 
 
 t Canaan. — This word is not unfrequently pronounced 
 in three syllablea, with the accent on the aecond. But Mil- 
 ton, who, in his Paradise Lostj has introduced thia word six 
 times, has constantly made it two ayllables, with the accent 
 on the first. Thia ia perfectly agreeable to the syllabication 
 and accentuation of Isaac and Balaam^ which are always 
 heard in two syllablea. This suppression of a syllable, in 
 the latter part of theae words, arises from the absence of 
 accent. An accent on the second syllable would prevent 
 the hiatus arising from the two vowels, as it does in Baal 
 
 and Baalim, which are always heard in two and three syl- 
 lables reapectively. — See Adonai. 
 
 J Capernaum. — This word ia often, but improperly, pro- 
 nounced with the accent on the penultimate. 
 
 $ Cherub. — See Rule 6. 
 
 IT Deborah. — The learned editor of Labbe tella us that this 
 word has the penultimate long, both in Greek and Hebrew ; 
 and yet he observes tjhat our clergy, when reading the Holy 
 Scriptures to the people in English, jilways pronounce it with 
 the accent on the first syllable ; " and why not," says he, 
 " when they place the accent on the first syllable of orator, 
 auditor, and successor! But," continuea he, "I auppnse 
 they accent them otherwise, when they speak Latin."

 * /jwaei. — This word is colloquially pronounced in two 
 syllables, and not unfrequently heard in the same manner 
 from the pulpit. The tendency of two vowels to unite, 
 when there is no accent to keep them distinct, is the cause 
 of this corruption, as in Canaan, Isaac, <Slc, ; but, as there is 
 a greater difficulty in keeping separate two unaccented vow- 
 els of the same kind, so the latter corruption is more excu- 
 sable than the former; and therefore, in my opinion, this 
 word ought always, in public pronunciation, especially in 
 reading the Scripture, to be heard in three syllables. Milton 
 introduces this word four times in his Paradise Lost, and 
 constantly makes it two syllables only. But those who un- 
 
 derstand English prosody know that we have a great num- 
 ber of words, which have two distinct impulses, that go 
 for no more than a single syllable in verse, such as heaven, 
 given, &LC. ; higher and dyer are always considered as dis- 
 syllables, and hire and dire, which have exactly the same 
 quantity to the ear, but as monosyllables. IsraeU there- 
 fore, ought always, in deliberate and solemn speaking, to 
 be heard in three syllables. The same may be observed of 
 Raphael and Michael. 
 
 t [Jairua. — Our author had accented this word Ja'i-rus, 
 and would pronounce itJa'e^usi but he is wrong beyond 
 all dispute. The Greek name is 'Idcipof. — Trollopb.I

 * Raphael. — This word has uniformly the accent on 
 the first syllable throughout Milton, though Grscized by 
 'Pa0tt»)A j but the quantity is not so invariably settled by 
 him ; for, in his Paradise Lost, he makes it four times of 
 three syllables, and twice of two. What is observed under 
 Israel is applicable to this word. Colloquially, we may 
 pronounce it in two, as if written Rapltel; but, in deliberate 
 and solemn speaking or reading, we ought to make the two 
 last vowels be heard separately and distinctly. The same 
 may be observed of Michael^ which Milton, in his Paradise 
 Lost, uses six times as a word of three syllables, and 
 eighteen times as a word of two only. 
 
 t SabactJumL — Some, sayB the editor of Labbe, place the 
 accent on the antepenultimate syllable of this word, and 
 others on the penultimate : this last pronunciation, he says, 
 is most agreeable to the Hebrew word, the penultimate of 
 which is not only long, but accented ; and, as this word is 
 Hebrew, it is certainly the preferable pronunciation. 
 
 t Sabaotk. — This word should not be confounded in its 
 pronunciation with Sabbathj a word of so different a sig- 
 nification. Sabaoth ought to be heard in three syllables, 
 by keeping the a and o separate and distinct. This, it 
 must be confessed, is not very easy to do, but is absolutely 
 necessary to prevent a very gross confusion of ideas, and 
 a perversion of the sense. — [According to the Masoretic 
 points, the word is Sai-a'oth. — Trollope. See Sabaoth, 
 in the Dictionary. — Editor.] 
 
 $ Satan. — There is some dispute, amongthe learned, about 
 the quantity of the second syllable of this word, when Latin 
 or Greek, as may be seen in Labbe, but none about the first. 
 This is acknowledged to be short ; and this has induced 
 those critics who have great knowledge of Latin, and very 
 little of their own language, to pronounce the first syllable 
 short in English, as if written Sattan. If these gentlemen 
 have not perused the Princhles of Pronunciation^ prefixed to 
 116 
 
 the Critical Pronouncing- JHctionaryj I would take the liberty 
 of referring them to what is there said, for full satisfaction, 
 for whatever relates to deriving English quantity from the 
 Latin. But, for those who have not an opportunity of in- 
 specting that work, it may, perhaps, be sufficient to observe, 
 that no analogy is more universal than that which, in a 
 Latin word of two syllables, with but one consonant in the 
 middle, and the accent on the first syllable, leads us to pro- 
 nounce that syllable long. This is, likewise, the genuine 
 pronunciation of English words of the same form ; and, 
 where it has been counteracted, we find a miserable at- 
 tempt to follow the Latin quantity in the English word, 
 which we entirely neglect in the Latin itself. (See Tntro^ 
 duction^ page 845.) Cato and Plato are instances where we 
 make the vowel a long in English where it is short in Latin, 
 and caligo and cogUo where we make the a and o in the first 
 syllable short in English when it is long in Latin. Thus, ii 
 a word of two syllables, with one consonant in the middle, 
 and the accent on the first, which, according to our own 
 vernacular analogy. We should pronounce as we do Cato 
 and Plato, with the first vowel long, — if this word, 1 say, 
 happen to be derived from a word of three syllables in Lat- 
 in, with the first short, this is looked upon as a good reason 
 for shortening the first syllable of the English word, as in 
 magic, placid, tepid, &c., though we violate this rule in the 
 pronunciation of the Latin words caligo, co^Jo, fee, which, 
 according to this analogy, ought to be calc-i-go, coge-i-to, &c., 
 with the first syllable long. 
 
 This pedantry, which ought to have a harsher title, has 
 considerably hurt the sound of our language, by introducing 
 into it too many short vowels, and consequently rendering 
 it less flowing and sonorous. The tendency of the penulti- 
 mate accent to open and lengthen the first vowel in dissyl- 
 lables, with but one consonant in the middle, in some meas- 
 ure counteracts the shortening tendency of two consonants, 
 and the almost invariable shortening tendency of the ante- 
 penultimate accent j but this analogy, which seems to be

 the genuine operation of nature, ia violated by these igno- 
 rant critics from the pitiful ambition of appearing to under- 
 stand Latin. As the first syllable, therefore, of the word in 
 question, bas its first vowel pronounced short, for such mis- 
 erable reasons as have been shown, and this short pronun- 
 ciation does not seem to be general, as may be seen under 
 the word in the Critical Proiumncing Dictionary, we ought 
 certainly to incline to that pronunciation which is so agreea- 
 ble to the analogy of our own language, and which is, at 
 the same time, so much more pleasing to the ear. — [What- 
 ever may be the analogy of English, it is clear that the true 
 pronunciation is Sat'an. Neither are caZigo and cogito pro- 
 nounced as the author slates them to be. In most schools, 
 the long vowels retain their proper sound. — Tbollope. 
 
 Cortt'go, not CaVirgo. See Satak, in the Dictionary. 
 
 Editob.] 
 
 * SUoa. — Thia word, according to the present general 
 rule of pronouncing these words, ought to have the accent 
 on the second syllable, as it is Graecized by SiAud ,• but Mil- 
 ton, who understood its derivation as well as the present 
 race of critics, has given it the antepenultimate accent, as 
 more agreeable to the general analogy of accenting English 
 words of the same form : — 
 
 " Or if Sion hill 
 
 Delight thee more, or Siloa'a brook, that flowed 
 
 Fast by the oracle of God." 
 If criticism ought not to overturn settled usages, surely, when 
 that usage is sanctioned by such a poet as Milton, it ought 
 not to be looked upon as a license, but an authority. With 
 respect to the quantity of the first syllable, analogy requires 
 
 that, if the accent be on it, it should be short. (See Rules 
 prefixed to the Greek and Latin Proper Names, Rule 19.) 
 — [Milton can be no authority against positive fact. The 
 Greek name is decisive. See our author's next note. — 
 Teollope.] [Sn'o-a, a. & r.] 
 
 f Sinai If we pronounce this word after the Hebrew, 
 
 it is three syllables j if after the Greek, 2ti/a, two only ; 
 though it must be confessed that the liberty allowed to poets 
 of increasing the end of a line with one, and sometimes 
 two, syllables, renders their authority, in this case, a 
 little equivocal. Labbe adopts the former pronunciation, 
 but general usage seems to prefer the latter j and, if we al- 
 most universally follow the Greek in other cases, why not 
 In this i Milton adopts the Greek : — 
 
 " Sing, heavenly muse 1 that on the secret top 
 Of Oreb or of Siiud didst inspire 
 
 That shepherd " 
 
 " God, from the mount of Sinm, whose gray top 
 Shall tremble^ he, descending, will himself, 
 In thunder, lightning, and loud trumpets' sound, 
 Ordam them laws." j.^_ ^„^_ ^ ^^ ^_ ^ 
 
 We ought not, indeed, to lay too much stress on the qaatir 
 tity of Milton, which is often so different in the same word ; 
 but these are the only two passages in his Paradise Lost 
 where this word is used ; and, as he has made the same 
 letters a diphthong in ^smadaU it is highly probable he 
 judged that Sinai ought to be pronounced in two syllables, 
 (See Rules prefixed to this Vocabulary, No. 5.)

 * ZaJmlon. — " NotwithstandJDg," saya the editor of 
 Labbe, " this word, in Greek, Ziz^itAwi', has the penultimate 
 long, yet in our churches we always hear it pronounced 
 with the acute on the antepenultimate. Those who thus

 After the many learned pens which have been employed on the subject of the following Obser- 
 vations, the author would have been much ashamed of obtruding his humble opinion on so delicate 
 a point, had he not flattered himself that he had taken a material circumstance into the account, 
 which had been entirely overlooked by almost every writer he had met with. 
 
 It is not a little astonishing, that, when the nature of the human voice forms so great a part of 
 the inquiry into accent and quantity, its most marking distinctions should have been so little at- 
 tended to. From ^^ perusal of every writer on the subject,* one would be led to suppose that high 
 and low, loud and soft, and quick and slow, were the only modifications of which the voice was 
 susceptible ; and that the inflections of the voice, which distinguish speaking from singing, did not 
 exist. Possessed, therefore, of this distinction of sounds, the author at least brings something new 
 into the inquiry; and if, even with this advantage, he should fail of throwing light on the subject, 
 he is sure he shall be entitled to the indulgence of the learned, as they fully understand the diffi- 
 culty of the question. 
 
 * The only exception to this general assertion is Mr. 
 Steele, the author of " Prosodia Rationalis ; " but the de- 
 sign of this gentleman is not so much to illustrate the ac- 
 cent and quantity of the Greek language as to prove the 
 possibility of forming a notation of speaking sounds for our 
 own, and of reducing them to a musical scale, and accom- 
 panying them with instruments. The attempt is undoubt- 
 edly laudable, but no further useful than to show the im- 
 possibility of it by the very method he has taken to explain 
 it ; for it is wrapped up in such an impenetrable cloud of 
 
 music as to be unintelligible to any but musicians ; and the 
 distinctions of sound are so nice and numerous as to dis- 
 courage the most persevering student from laboring to un- 
 derstand him. After all, what light can we expect will be 
 thrown on this subject by one who, notwithstanding the 
 infinitesimal distinctions he makes between similar sounds, 
 says that the u in ua^h/, and the e in met and get, are diph- 
 thongs ; that the a in may is long, and the same letter in 
 nation short ; and that the u in you, use, &c. is always acuto- 
 grave, and the i in tdle, try. Sec. grave-acute ?

PREPARATORY OBSERVATIONS. 
 
 As a perusal of the Observations on Greek and Latin Ac- 
 cent and Quantity requires a more intimate acquaintance 
 with the nature of the voice than is generally brought to 
 the study of that subject, it may not be improper to lay be- 
 fore the reader such an explanation of speaking sounds as 
 may enable him to distinguish between high and loud, soft 
 and low, forcibleness and length, and feebleness and short- 
 ness, which are so often confounded, and which conse- 
 quently produce such confusion and obscurity among our 
 best prosodists. 
 
 But, as describing such sounds upon paper as have no 
 definite terms appropriated to them, like those of music, is 
 anew and difficult task, the reader must be requested to 
 give as nice an attention as possible to those sounds and in- 
 flections of voice, which spontaneously annex themselves to 
 certain forms of speech, and which, from their familiarity, 
 are apt to pass unnoticed. But if experience were out of 
 tlie question, and we were only acquainted with the organic 
 formation of human souulIs, we must necessarily distinguish 
 them into five kinds ; namely, the monotone, or one sound 
 continuing a perceptible time in one note, which is the case 
 with all musical sounds ; a sound beginning low and slid- 
 ing higher, or beginning high and sliding lower, without 
 any perceptible intervals, which is essential to all speaking 
 sounds. The two last may be called simple slides or inflec- 
 tions ; and these may be so combined as to begin with that 
 which rises, and end with that which falls, or to begin with 
 that which falls, and end with that which rises ; and if this 
 combination of different inflections be pronounced with one 
 impulse or explosion of the voice, it may not improperly 
 be called the circumfiex, or compound inflection ; and this 
 monotone, the two simple and the two compound inflec- 
 tions, are the only modifications, independent on the pas- 
 sions, of which the human voice is susceptible. 
 
 TVie Different States of the Voice 
 
 The modifications of the voice, which have just been 
 enumerated, may be called absolute, because they cannot 
 be converted into each other, but must remain decidedly 
 what they are ; while different states of the voice, as high 
 and low, loud and soft, quick and slow, are only compara- 
 tive terms, since what is high in one case may be low in an- 
 other, and so of the rest. Beside, therefore, the modifica- 
 tions of voice which have been described, the only varieties 
 remaining, of which the human voice is capable, except 
 those produced by the passions, are high, low, loud, sofl;, 
 quick, slow, forcible, and feeble. Though high and loud, 
 and low and soft, are frequently confounded, yet, when 
 considered distinctly, their difference is easily understood ; 
 as, if we strike a large bell with a deep tone, though it gives 
 a very loud tone, it will still be a low one ; and, if we strike 
 a small bell with a high tone, it will still be a high tone, 
 though the strobe be ever so soft. A quick tone, in music, 
 is that in which the same tone continues but a short time, 
 and a slow tone where it continues longer ; but in speak- 
 ing, a quick tone is that when the slide rises from low to high, 
 or falls from high to low, in a short time, and a slow tone 
 the reverse; while forcible and feeble seem to be severally 
 compounded of two of these simple states ; that is, force 
 seems to be loudness and quickness, either in a high or low 
 tone also; and feebleness seems to be softness and slowness, 
 either in a high or a low tone likewise. As to the tones of 
 the passions, which are so many and various, these, in the 
 opinion of one of the best judges in the kingdom, are gual~ 
 Uies of sound, occasioned by certain vibrations of the organs 
 of speech, independent on high, low, loud, soft, quick, slow, 
 forcible, or feeble ; which last may not improperly be called 
 different quantities of sound. 
 
 It may not, perhaps, be unworthy of observation, how 
 few are these principles, which, by a different combination 
 with each other, produce that almost unbounded variety of 
 which human speech consists. The different quantities of 
 sound, as these different states of the voice may be called, 
 may be combined so as to form new varieties with any other 
 that are not opposite to them. Thus high may be combined 
 with either loud or soft, quick or slow ; that is, a high note 
 
 may be sounded either in a loud or soft tone, and a low note 
 may be sounded either in a loud or a soft tone also, and each 
 of these tones may be pronounced either in a longer or a 
 shortertime; that is, more slowly or quickly ; while forcible 
 seems to imply a degree of loudness and quickness ; and fee- 
 ble, a degree of softness and slowness, either in a high or a 
 lowtone. These combinations may, perhaps, be more easily 
 conceived by classing them in contrast with each other : — 
 
 High, loud, quick. 
 Low, soft, slow. 
 
 Forcible may be high, loud, and quick ; or low, loud, and 
 quick. Feeble may be high, soft, and slow ; or low, soft, and 
 slow. 
 
 The different combinations of these states may be thus 
 represented : — 
 
 High, loud, quick, forcible. Low, loud, quick, forcible. 
 
 High, loud, slow. Low, loud, slow. 
 
 High, soft, quick. Low, soft, quick. 
 
 High, soft, slow, feeble. Low, soft, slow, feeble. 
 
 When these states of the voice are combined with the five 
 modifications of voice above mentioned, the varieties be- 
 come exceedingly numerous, but far from being incalcula- 
 ble. Perhaps they may amount (for I leave it to arithme- 
 ticians to reckon them exactly) to that number into which 
 the ancients distinguished the notes of music, which, if I 
 remember right, was about two hundred. 
 
 These different states of the voice, if justly distinguished 
 and associated, may serve to tlirow some light on the nature 
 of accent. If, as Mr. Sheridan asserts, the accented syllable 
 be only louder, and not higher, than the other syllables, ev- 
 ery polysyllable is a perfect monotone. If the accented syl- 
 lable be higher than the rest, which is the general opinion 
 both among the ancients and moderns, this is true only 
 when a word is pronounced alone, and without reference 
 to any other word ; for when suspended at a comma, con- 
 cluding a negative member followed by an affirmative, or 
 asking a question beginning with a verb, if the unaccented 
 syllable or syllables be the last, they are higher than the ac- 
 cented syllable, though not so loud. So that the true defi- 
 nition of accent is this: — ^f the word be pronounced alone, 
 and witJiout any reference to otfier words, the accented syllable is 
 both higher and louder than the other syllables either before or 
 after it ; but, if the word be suspended, as at the comma, if it 
 end a negative member followed by an affirmative, or if it con- 
 clude an interrogative sentence beginning with a verb, in each 
 case the accented syllable is louder and higher than the preceding^ 
 and louder and lower than the succeeding syllables. This will 
 be suf^ciently exemplified in the following pages. In the 
 mean time, it may be observed, that if a degree of swiftness 
 enter into the definition of force, and the accented syllable 
 be the most forcible, it follows that the accent does not 
 necessarily lengthen the syllable, and that if it fall on a long 
 vowel, it is only a longer continuation of that force with 
 which it quickly or suddenly commenced ; for as the voice 
 is an efilux of air, and air is a fluid like water, wo may 
 conceive a sudden gush of this fluid to continue either a 
 longer or a shorter time, and thence form an idea of long or 
 short quantity. If, however, this definition of force, as ap- 
 plied to accent, should be erroneous or imaginary, let it be 
 remembered it is an attempt to form a precise idea of what 
 has hitherto been left in obscurity; and that, if such an 
 attempt should fail, it may at least induce some curious 
 inquirer to show where it fails, and to substitute something 
 better in its stead. 
 
 If these observations be just, they may serve to show how 
 ill-founded is the opinion of that infinite variety of voice of 
 which speaking sounds consist. That a wonderful variety 
 may arise from the key in which we speak, from the force 
 or feebleness with which we pronounce, and from the tinc- 
 ture of passion or sentiment we infuse into the words, is 
 acknowledged j but, speak in what key we will, pronounce 
 with what force or feebleness we please, and infuse what- 
 ever tincture of passion or sentiment we can imagine into 
 the words, still they must necessarily be pronounced with 
 one of the foregoing modifications of the voice. Let us go 
 into whatever twists or zigzags of tone we will, we cannot

 OBSERVATIONS ON THE GREEK AND LATIN ACCENT. 
 
 go out of the boundaries of these inflections. These are the 
 outlines on which all the force and coloring of speech is laid ; 
 and these may be justly said to form the first principles of 
 speaking sounds. 
 
 Exemplification of the Different Modifications of the 
 Voice, The Monotone, the Rising Inflection, the 
 Falling Inflection^ the Rising Circumflex, and the 
 FaUing Ctrcumfl^x. 
 
 Though we seldom hear such a variety in reading or 
 speaking as the sense and satisfaction of the ear demand, 
 yet we hardly ever hear a pronunciation perfectly monoto- 
 nous. In former times, we might have found it in the mid- 
 night pronunciation of the Bellman's verses at Christmas ; 
 and now the Town Crier, as Shakspeare calls him, some- 
 times gives us a specimen of the monotonous, in his vocif- 
 erous exordium — "This is to givenotice!" The clerk of 
 a court of justice also promulgates the will of the court 
 by that barbarous metamorphosis of the old French word 
 Oyrz! Oyez! Hear ye I Hear ye! into Oyes! O yes! in a. 
 perfect sameness of voice. But however ridiculous the 
 monotone in speaking may be in the above-mentioned 
 characters, in certain solemn and sublime passages in poe- 
 try it has a wonderful propriety, and by the uncommonness 
 of its use, it adds greatly to that variety with which the ear 
 is so much delighted. 
 
 This monotone may be defined to be a continuation or 
 sameness of sound upon certain words or syllables, exactly 
 like that produced by repeatedly striking a bell : such a 
 stroke may be louder or softer, but continues in exactly the 
 same pitch. To express this tone, a horizontal line may be 
 adopted ; — such a one as is generally used to signify a long 
 syllable in verse. This tone may be very properly intro- 
 duced in some passages of Akenside's Pleasures of Imagina- 
 iton, where he so finely describes the tales of horror related 
 by the village matron to her infant audience : — 
 
 " Breathing astonishment ! of witching rhymes 
 And evil spirits ; of the death-bed caU 
 To him who robbed the widow, and devoured 
 The orphan's portion ; of unquiet souls 
 Risen from the grave to ease the heavy guilt 
 Of deeds in life concealed ; of shapes that walk 
 At dead of night, and clank theii chains, and wave 
 The torch of hell around the murderer's bed." 
 
 If the words " of shapes that walk at dead of night " be 
 pronounced in a monotone, it will add wonderfully to the 
 variety and solemnity of the passage. 
 
 The rising inflection is that upward turn of the voice we 
 generally use at the comma, or in asking a question begin- 
 ning with a verb; as, "N6, say you? did he aay N6?" This 
 is commonly called a suspension of voice, and may not im- 
 properly be marked by the acute accent, thus ( ' ). 
 
 The felling inflection is generally used at the semicolon 
 and colon, and must necessarily be heard in answer to the 
 former question: "■He did; he said N6." This inflection, 
 in a lower tone of voice, is adopted at the end of almost 
 every sentence, except the definite question, or that which 
 begins with the verb. To express this inflection, the grave 
 accent seems adapted, thus ( ^ ). 
 
 The rising circumflex begins with the falling inflection, 
 and ends with the rising upon the same syllable, and seems, 
 a% it were, to twist the voice upwards. This inflection 
 may be exemplified by the drawling tone we give to some 
 words spoken ironically ; as the word Clodiusj in Cicero's 
 Oration for Milo. This turn of voice may be marked in- this 
 manner (V ) : — 
 
 " But It is foolish in us to compare Drusus Africanus and 
 ourselves with ClSdius ; all our other calamities were toler- 
 able, but no one can patiently bear the death of CISdius." 
 
 The falling circumflex begins with the rising inflection, 
 and ends with the falling upon the same syllable, and seems 
 to twist the voice downwards. This inflection seems gen- 
 erally to be used in ironical reproach ; as on the word you, 
 in the following example : — 
 
 " So, then, you are the author of this conspiracy against 
 me ? It is to you that I am indebted for all the mischief that 
 has befallen me ?" 
 
 If to these inflections we add the distinction of a phrase 
 into accentual portions, as, 
 
 " Prosperity ] giins friends | and adversity | tries them," | 
 and pronounce Mentis like an unaccented syllable of gai-ns, 
 and like an unaccented syllable of adversity, and them like 
 an unaccented syllable of triesj we have a clear idea of the 
 relative forces of aU the syllables, and approximate closely 
 to a notation of speaking sounds.

 analysis of the human voice, see ElemejOs of Elocution, sec-

OBSEEVATIONS 
 
 GREEK AND LATIN ACCENT, &c. 
 
 1. In order to foim an idea of the Accent and Quantity 
 of the dead languages, it will be necessary first to under- 
 stand what we mean by the accent and quantity of our own 
 language;* and as quantity is supposed by some to regu- 
 late the accent in English as well as in Greek and Latin, it 
 will be necessary first to inquire what we mean by long 
 and short vowels, or, as some are pleased to term them, 
 syllables. 
 
 2. In English, then, we have no conception of quantity 
 arising from any thing but the nature of the vowels, as they 
 are pronounced long or short. Whatever retardation of voice 
 in the sound of a vowel there might be in Greek or Latin 
 before two consonants, and those often twin consonants, 
 we find every vowel in this situation as easily pronounced 
 short as long; and the quantity is found to arise from the 
 length or shortness we give to the vowel, and not from any 
 obstruction of sound occasioned by the succeeding conso- 
 nants. Thus the a in banisfi, bannevj and banter, is short in 
 all these words, and long in paper, taper^ and vapor; the J 
 long in miser, minor, and mitre, and short in misery, middle, 
 and mistress ; and so of the rest of the vowels ; and though 
 the accent is on the first syllable of all these words, we see 
 it perfectly compatible with either long or short quantity. 
 
 3. Aa a further proof of this, we may observe, that unac- 
 
 * It is not surprising that the accent and quantity of the 
 ancients should be bo obscure and mysterious, when two 
 such learned men of our own nation as Mr. Forster and Dr. 
 Gaily difl^er about the very existence of quantity in our own 
 language. The former of these gentlemen maintains, that 
 " the English have both accent and quantity, and that no 
 language can be without them ; " but the latter asserts, that, 
 *'in the modern languages, the pronunciation doth not de- 
 pend upon a natural quantity, and therefore a greater liberty 
 may be allowed in the placing of accents." And in another 
 place, speaking of the northern languages of Europe, he 
 says, that " it was made impossible to think of establishing 
 quantity for a foundation of harmony, in pronunciation. 
 Hence it became necessary to lay aside the consideration of 
 quantity, and to have recourse to accents." " In these and 
 some other passages, that writer," says Forster, " seems to 
 look upon accents as alone regulating the pronunciation of 
 English, and quantity as excluded from it." — Forster^s Es- 
 say on Accent and Q^nantity, p. 28. 
 
 As a further proof of the total want of ear in a great Greek 
 scholar. Lord Monboddo says, " Our accents differ from the 
 Greek in two material respects ; first, they are not appropri- 
 ated to particular syllables of the word, but are laid upon 
 different syllables, according to the fancy of the speaker, or 
 rather as it happens ; for I believe no man speaking English 
 does, by choice, give an accent to one syllable of a word 
 different from that which he gives to another." 
 
 " Two things, therefore, that, in my opinion, constitute 
 our verse, are the number of syllables, and the mixture of 
 loud and soft, according to certain rules. As to quantity, it 
 is certainly not essential to our verse, and far less is accent." 
 — See Steele's Prosodia Rationalis, p. 103, 1X0. 
 
 t A late very learned and ingenious writer tells us that 
 our accent and quantity always coincide ; he objects to him- 
 self the words signify, magnify, qualify, &c., where the final 
 syllable is longer than the accented syllable ; but this, he as- 
 serts, with the greatest probability, was not the accentuation 
 of our ancestors, who placed the accent on the last syllable, 
 which is naturaUy the longest. But this sufficiently proves 
 that the accent does not necessarily lengthen the syllable it 
 
 cented vowels are frequently pronounced long, when the 
 accented vowels are short. Thus the o in Cicero, In English 
 as well as in Latin pronunciation, is long, though unaccent- 
 ed ; and the i short, though under the accent. The same 
 may be observed of the name of our English poet JJillo. 
 So in our English words cdnclave, rdeoncile, chamomile^ and 
 the substantives cdnfine, perfume, and a thousand others, 
 we see the first accented syllable short, and the final unac- 
 cented syllable long. Let those who contend that the acute 
 accent and long quantity are inseparable, call the first vow- 
 els of these words long, if they please ; but by those who 
 make their ear, and not their eye, the judge of quantity, 
 when compared with the last vowels, they will always be 
 esteemed short, f 
 
 4. The next object of inquiry is, What is the nature of 
 English accent f Mr. Sheridan, :t vi^i^h his usual decision, 
 tells us, that accent is only a greater force upon one syllable 
 than anothej, without any relation to the elevation or de- 
 pression of the voice ; while almost every other writer on 
 the subject makes the elevation or depression of the voice 
 inseparable from accent. When words are pronounced in 
 a monotone, as the bellman repeats his verses, the crier pro- 
 nounces his advertisement, or the clerk of a church gives 
 out the psalm, we heai an ictus or accentual force upon the 
 
 falls on ; that is, if length consist in pronouncing the vowel 
 long, which is the natural idea of long quantity, and not in 
 the duration of the voice upon a short vowel occasioned by 
 the retardation of sounding two succeeding consonants, 
 which is an idea, though sanctioned by antiquity, that has 
 no foundation in nature ; for who, that is not prejudiced by 
 early opinion, can suppose the first syllable of elbow to be 
 long, and the last short ? — See Essay on Greek and Latiu 
 Prosodies .- printed for Robson. 
 
 J The term (accent) with us has no reference to inflec- 
 tions of the voice or musical notes, but only means a pecu- 
 liar manner of distinguishing one syllable of a word from 
 the rest. ~ Lecture on Elocution, quarto edition, p. 41. 
 
 " To illustrate the difference between the accent of the 
 ancients and that of ours," says Mr. Sheridan, " let us sup- 
 pose the same movements beat upon the drum, and sounded 
 by the trumpet. Take, for instance, a succession of words 
 where the accent is on every second syllable, which forms 
 an iambic movement ; the only way by which a drum 
 (as it is incapable of any change of notes) can mark that 
 movement, is by striking a soft note first, followed by one 
 more forcible, and so in succession. Let the same move- 
 ment be sounded by the trumpet, in an alternation of high 
 and low notes, and it will give a distinct idea of the difiler- 
 ence between the English accents and those of the an- 
 cients." — Art of Reading, p. 75. 
 
 I am sorry to find one or the most ingenious, learned, and 
 candid inquirers into this subject of the same opinion as 
 Mr. Sheridan. The authority of Mr. Nares would have 
 gone near to shake my own opinion, if I had not recollected 
 that this gentleman confesses he cannot perceive the least 
 of a diphthongal sound in the i in strike, which Dr. Walhs, 
 he observes, excludes from the simple sounds of the vowels. 
 For if the definition of a vowel sound be, that it is formed 
 by one position of the organs, nothing can be more percep- 
 tible than the double position of them in the present case, 
 and that the noun eye, which is perfectly equivalent to the 
 pronoun /, begins with the sound of a in father, and ends 
 in that of 6 in equal. — See Nares's English Orthoepy, pp. 
 2,144.

 OBSERVATIONS ON THE GREEK AND LATIN ACCENT. 
 
 several accented syllables, which distinguishes them from 
 the others, but no more variety of tone than if we were to 
 
 beat the syllables of the same words upon a drum, which 
 may be louder or softer, but cannot be either higher or low- 
 er. This is pronouncing according to Mr. Shnridan's defi- 
 nition of accent ; and this pronunciation certainly comes 
 under the definition of singing j — it is singing ill, indeed, 
 as Julius Cesar said of a bad reader, but still it is singing, 
 and therefore essentially different from speaking; for in 
 speaking, the voice is continually sliding upwards or down- 
 wards, and in singing, it is leaping; as it were, from a lower 
 to a higher, or from a higher to a lower note,— the only two 
 possible ways of varying the human voice, with respect to 
 elevation or depressions — so that when we are told by some 
 writers on this subject, that the speakingof the ancients was 
 a&in/Zof singing, we are led into the error of supposing that 
 singing and speaking differ only in degree, and not in kind, 
 whereas they are just as different as motion and rest.* 
 
 5. Whenever, in speaking, we adopt a singingtone, (which 
 was formerly the case with Puritan preachers,) it differs es- 
 sentially from speaking, and can be pricked down upon pa- 
 per, and be played upon a violin ; and whenever, in singing, 
 we adopt a speaking tone, the slide of this tone is so essen- 
 tially distinct from singing, as to shock the ear like the 
 harshest discord. Those, therefore, who rank recitative as 
 a medium between singing and speaking, are utterly igno- 
 rant of the nature of both. Recitative is just as much sing- 
 ing as what is called air, or any other species of musical 
 composition. 
 
 6. If we may have recourse to the eye, the most dis- 
 tinct and definite of all our senses, we may define musical 
 notes to be horizontal lines, and speaking tones oblique 
 lines ; the one rises from low to higli, or falls from high 
 to low, by distinct intervals, aa the following straight hues 
 
 to the eye j — — the other slides upwards or down- 
 
 wards, as the foUowing oblique lines : 
 
 the one more different to the eye than the other is to the 
 ear. Those, therefore, who gravely tell us that the enun- 
 ciation of the ancients was a kind of musical speaking, im- 
 pose npon us with words to which we can annex no ideas ; 
 and when they attempt to illustrate this musico-apeaking 
 
 * It is not denied, that the slides in speaking may some- 
 times leap, as it were, from a low to a high, or from a high 
 to a low note ; that is, that there may be a very considera- 
 ble interval between the end of one of those slides and the 
 beginning of another ; as between the high note in the word 
 710, in the question. Did he say JVo 7 and the low note which 
 the same word may adopt in the answer, JVo, he did not 
 But the sound which composes the note of speaking, as it 
 may be called, and the sound which composes the note of 
 singing, are essentially distinct ^ the former is in continual 
 motion, while the latter is for a given time attest. — See

 cented, (that is, according to their definition of accent, pro- 
 nounced with an elevated tone of voice,) without telling us 
 how this elevation happened, whether it were an elevation 
 of one part of the syllable above the other, or the elevation 
 of one word or syllable above other words or syllables, — 
 how these distinctions, I say, so absolutely necessary to a 
 precise idea of accent, should never be once mentioned, 
 can be resolved into nothing but tliat attachment to words 
 without ideas, and that neglect of experiment, which have 
 involved the moderns in the same mist of ignorance and 
 error. 
 
 t That excellent scholar, Mr. Forster, furnishes an ad- 
 ditional instance of the possibility of uniting a deep and 
 accurate knowledge of what is called the prosody of the 
 ancients, with a total ignorance of the accent and quantity 
 of his own language. After a thousand examples to show 
 how the English is susceptible of every kind of metre among 
 the ancients, (though in all his examples he substitutes Eng- 
 lish accent for Greek and Latin quantity^) he proceeds lo 
 show the difference between tlie English, the Irish, and 
 the Scotch pronunciation. 
 
 " The English join the acute and long time together, as 
 m liberty, y short. The Scotch observe our quantity, and 
 alter our accent, UbSrty', y short. When I say they observe 
 our quantity, I mean they pronounce the same syllable long 
 which we do, but they make it longer. In respect to the 
 circumflex with which their pronunciation abounds, it may 
 be remarked, that it is not formed as the Greek, Latin, and 
 English, of an acute and grave, but of a grave and acute : 
 v6di, r8s, r6und, English : riiind, Scotch. 
 
 " The Irish observe our quantity and accent too, but with 
 a greater degree of spirit or emphasis, which Scaliger calls 
 affiatio in latitudine^ giving to most syllables an aspiration." 
 — Essay on Accent and Quantity , p. 75. 
 
 pronunciation by referring us to the Scotch and other dla* 
 lects, they give us a rhetorical flourish instead of a real ex* 
 ample j for however the Scotch and other speakers may 
 drawl out the accent, and give the vowel a greater length 
 than the English, it is always in an oblique, and not in a 
 straight line; for the moment the straight line of sound, or 
 the monotone, is adopted, we hear something essentially 
 distinct from speaking. 
 
 7. As high and low, loud and soft, forcible and feeble, are 
 comparative terms, words of one syllable pronounced alone, 
 and without relation to other words or syllables, cannot be 
 said to have any accent, f The only distinction to which 
 such words are liable, is an elevation or depression of voice, 
 when we compare the beginning with the end of the word 
 or syllable. Thus a monosyllable, considered singly, rises 
 from a lower to a higher tone in the question JW ? which 
 may, therefore, be called the acute accent; and falls from a 
 higher to a lower tone, upon the same word, in the answer 
 JVo, which may, therefore, be called the grave. But when 
 the accented word or syllable is associated with unaccented 
 words or syllables, the acute accent is louder and higher 
 than the preceding, and louder and lower than the succeed- 
 ing syllables, as in the question, Sati^dctorUy, did he say 7 
 and the grave accent both louder and higher than either the 
 preceding or succeeding syllables, in the answer. He said 
 satisfdctorilij. Those who wish to see this explained more 
 at large may consult Elements of ElocviioUf page 183, or 
 Rhetorical Cframmar, 3d edition, p. 77. 
 
 8. This idea of accent is so evident, upon experiment, as 
 to defy contradiction ; and yet, such is the general igno- 
 rance of the modifications of the voice, that we find those 
 who pretend to explain the nature of accent the most accu- 
 rately, when they give us an example of the accent in any 
 particular word, suppose it always pronounced affirmatively 
 and alone ; J that is, aa if words were always pronounced 
 with one inflection of voice, and as if there were no differ- 
 ence with respect to the nature of the accent, whether the 
 word is an affirmation or a question, in one part of the sen- 
 tence or in another ; when nothing can be more palpable, to 
 a correct ear, than that the accents of the word voluntary^ 
 in the following sentences, are essentially different : — 
 
 His resignation weis vdluntary. 
 
 He made a vdluntary resignation. 
 In both, the accent is on the first syllable. In the first sen- 
 tence, the accented syllable is higher and louder than the 
 
 Mr. Forster falls exactly into the mistake of Mr. Sheridan, 
 though he has a quite different idea of accent. He supposes 
 liberty always pronounced by an Englishman in one man- 
 ner, and that as a single word, or at the end of a sentence ; 
 he has not the least notion of the different inflection the 
 same word may have, accordingly as the accent ia differ- 
 ently inflected, as we may plainly perceive in the following 
 question: *' la it liberty or licentiousness you plead for.'"' 
 where the English raise the voice on the latter syllable, as 
 the Scotch t(io frequently do. With respect to the quantity 
 of the first syllable, which Mr. Forster says the Scotch pre- 
 serve in this word, I must dissent from him totally; for 
 they preserve the accent, and alter the quantity, by pro- 
 nouncing the first syllable as if written leeberty. If Mr. 
 Forster call this syllable long in the English pronunciation 
 of it, I should be glad to be told of a shorter accented sylla- 
 ble than the first of liberty ; if he say the accent being on it 
 renders it long, I answer, this subverts his whole system; 
 for if accent falling on any vowel make it long, the quan- 
 tity of the Greek and Latin is overturned, and catio, in the 
 first line of the ^neid, must be a spondee. 
 
 This is the consequence of entering on the discussion o* 
 a difficult point, without first defining the terms ; — nothing 
 but confusion and contradiction can ensue. 
 
 But I must give this writer great credit for his saying the 
 Scotch pronunciation abounds with the circumflex ; for this 
 is really the case; and the very circumflex opposite to the 
 Greek and Latin, beginning with the grave, and ending 
 with the acute. 1 am not, however, a little astonished that 
 this did pot show him how deficient the ancients were in 
 this modification of the voice; which, though used too fre- 
 quently in Scotland, is just as much in the human voice as 
 the other circumflex, and may be, and is often, used in 
 England, with the utmost propriety. With respect to the 
 common circumflex on Greek, Latin, and some French 
 words, the accentual use of it is quite unknown, and it only 
 stands for long quantity; but both these circumflexes are 
 demonstrable upon the human voice in speaking, and may 
 be made as evident by experiment as the stress of an ac- 
 cented syllable, by pronouncing the word on which it is 
 placed. — See Rhetorical Orammar, 3d edit. p. 80. 
 
 I must just take notice of the inaccuracy of Mr. Forster, 
 in saying the last syllable of liberty is short, and yet that it 
 has the circumflex accent: this is contrary to all the proso- 
 dy of antiquity, and contrary to the truth of the case in this 
 instance; for it is the length of the first syllable, arising 
 from the circumflex on it, which distinguishes the Scotch 
 from the English pronunciation.

 other syllables ; and in the second, it is louder and lower 
 than the rest. The same may be observed of the following 
 question : — 
 
 Was his resignation vdluntaryor involuntary? 
 where the first syllable of the word voluntary is louder and 
 lower than the succeeding syllables ; and in the word invol- 
 untary it is louder and higher. Those who have not ears 
 sufficiently delicate to discern this difference, ought never 
 to open their lips about the acute or grave accent, as they 
 are pleased to call them ; let them speak of accent, as it re- 
 lates to stress only, and not to elevation or depression of 
 voice, and then they may speak intelligibly. 
 
 9. A want of this discernment has betrayed Mr. Porster 
 into (ibscurity and contradiction. To say noihing of liis as- 
 serting that the English, Irish, and Scotcli accents differ, 
 (where accent cannot possibly mean stress, for then English 
 verse would not be verse in Ireland and Scotland,) what 
 shal! we think of his telling us, that in England, we pro- 
 nounce the word majesty* with an acute accent and long 
 quantity upon the first syllable, and the two last syllables 
 with the grave accent and short quantity j and that in Scot- 
 land this word is pronounced with a grave accent and long 
 quantity on the first syllable, and with an acute accent and 
 short quantity on the last? Now, if by accent be meant 
 stress, nothing is more evident than that the English and 
 Scotch, with the exception of very few words, place the ac- 
 cent on the same syllable ; but if elevation be included in 
 the idea of accent, it is as evident that the English pro- 
 nounce the first syllable louder and higher than the two last, 
 when they pronounce the word either singly, or as ending 
 a sentence ; as, 
 
 " He spoke against the king's majesty ; " 
 and louder and lower than the two last, when it is tlie last 
 accented word but one in a sentence ; as, 
 
 " He spoke against the mdjesty of the king ; " 
 or when it is the last word in asking a question, beginning 
 with a verb ; as, 
 
 " Did he dare to speak against the king's majesty 1 " 
 
 10. Where then is the difference, it will be asked, be- 
 tween the English and Scotch pronunciation.'' I answer, 
 precisely in this, that the Scotch are apt to adopt the rising 
 circumflex and long quantity, where the English use the 
 simple rising inflection and short quantity. Thus in the 
 word majesty, as well as in every other of the same form, 
 they generally adopt the rising inflection, as in the two last 
 sentences, whether it end a question beginning with a verb, 
 as, " Is this the picture of his majesty 1 " or whether it end 
 an affirmative sentence, as, " This is the picture of his maj- 
 esty.''' And it is the prevalence of this long quantity with 
 the rising inflection, that forms the principal difference be- 
 tween Ihe English and Scotch pronunciation. 
 
 11. Having thus endeavored to ascertain the accent and 
 quantity of our own language, let us next inquire into the 
 nature of the accent and quantity of the ancients.f 
 
 12. The lung quantity of the ancients must arise either 
 from a prolongation of the sound of the vowel, or from that 
 delay of voice which the pronunciation of two or more 
 consonants in succession are supposed naturally to require. 
 Now, vowels were said to be either long by nature, or long by 
 position. Those long by nature % were such aa were long, 
 though succeeded by a single consonant, as the u in natura, 
 and were a sort of exception to the general rule ; for a vowel 
 before a single consonant was commonly short, as in every 
 u in the word tumulus. Those vowels which were long by 
 position were such as were succeeded by two or more con- 
 sonants, as the first o in sponsor ; but if the long and short 
 quantity of the ancients was the same distinction of the 
 sound of the vowel as we make in the words cadence and 
 
 * Would not any one suppose, by Mr. Forster's pro- 
 ducing this word as an example of the English accent, that 
 the English always pronounced it one way, and that as 
 if it ended a declarative sentence? This is exactly like the 
 mistake of Priacian, in the word JiTa^ura — See sect. 20, in 
 the Notes. 
 
 t So much are the critics puzzled to reconcile the tragic 
 and comic verses of the ancients to the laws of metre, that 
 a learned writer in the Monthly Review for May, 1/62, speak- 
 ing of the corrections of Dr. Heath, in his notes or readings 
 of the old Greek tragedians, says,— 
 
 "These emendations are much more excusable than such 
 as are made merely for the sake of the metre, the rules of 
 which are so extremely vague and various, as they are laid 
 down by the metrical critics, that we will venture to say 
 any chapter in Robinson Crusoe might be reduced to measure 
 by them. This is not conjecture ; the thing aha 1 be proved : 
 ' I lambicus dimeter hyper- 
 
 ' Aa I was rummaging about her, j catalectus. 
 
 I found several "S'''^?^^^"^;-™.,^ 
 
 Things that I wanted, gSr^T^itri^. 
 
 A fire-shovel and tongs, j quarto et syUabh. 
 
 Two brass kettles Doclmaicus. 
 
 TRflOTc, calling the first a long, and the second short, then the 
 a in mater and pater ^ must have been pronounced like our 
 a in later and latter; and those vowels which were long by 
 position, as the a in Bacchus and campus^ must have been 
 sounded by the ancients as we hear them in the English 
 words baJce and came. 
 
 13. If, therefore, the long quantity of the ancients were 
 no more than a retardation of voice on the consonants, or 
 that duration of sound which an assemblage of consonants 
 is supposed naturally to produce without making any alter- 
 ation in the sound of the vowel, such long quantity aa this 
 an Enghsh ear has not the least idea of. Unless the sound 
 of the vowel be altered, we have not any conception of a 
 long or short syllable ; and the first syllables of banish, ban- 
 ner, and banter, have, to our ears, exactly the same quantity. 
 
 14. But, if the long quantity of the ancients arose natu- 
 rally from the obstruction the voice meets with in the pro- 
 nunciation of two or more consonants, how does it happen 
 that the preceding consonants do not lengthen the vowel as 
 much as those which succeed? Dr. Gaily tells us the rea- 
 son of this is, '* that the vowel being the most essential part 
 of the syllable, the voice hastens to seize it ; and in order 
 to do this, it slurs over all the consonants that are placed 
 before it, so that the voice suffers little or no delay. But 
 the case of the consonant that follows is not the same ; it 
 cannot be slurred over, but must be pronounced full and dis- 
 tinct, otherwise it would run into, and be confounded with, 
 the following syllable. By this means the voice is delayed 
 more in the latter than in the former part of the syllable, 
 and hr is longer than trrpo, and t)v longer than (XJT\ri."\\ 
 
 I must own myself at a loss to conceive the force of this 
 reasoning. I have always supposed the consonant, when it 
 forms part of a syllable, to be as essential to its sound as the 
 vowel ; nor can I conceive why the latter consonants of a 
 syllable may not be pronounced as rapidly as the former, 
 without running the former syllable into the latter, and thus 
 confounding them together; since no such confusion arises 
 when we end the first syllable with the vowel, and begin 
 the following syllable with the consonants ; as, pro~crastino, 
 pro-stratus, &c. ; as in this case, there is no consonant to stop 
 the first syllable, and prevent its running into the second 5 
 so that Dr. G:illy seems to have slurred over the matter, rath- 
 er than to have explained it ; but as he is the only writer 
 who has attempted to account for the manner in which quan- 
 tity is produced by consonants, he is entitled to attention. 
 
 15. In the first place, then, in words of more than one syl- 
 lable, but one consonant can belong to the preceding vowel, 
 as the others must necessarily be considered as belonging to 
 the succeeding vowel, and, according to Dr. Gaily, must be 
 hurried over, that the voice may seize its favorite letter. As 
 one consonant, therefore, does not naturally produce long 
 quantity, where is the delay, if the other consonants be hur- 
 ried over? and, consequently, where is the long quantity 
 which the delay is supposed to produce ? This is like add- 
 ing two nothings together to produce a something. 
 
 16. But what does he mean by the necessity there is of 
 pronouncing the latter consonant full and distinct, that it 
 may not run into, and be confounded with, the following 
 syllable ? Must not every consonant be pronounced full 
 and distinct, whether we pronounce it rapidly or slowly, 
 whether before or after the vowel? Is not the str in stra- 
 men pronounced as full and distinct as the same letters in 
 castra, castrametor, &.C. ? I know there is a shadow of dif- 
 ference by pronouncing the vowel in our short English 
 manner, so as to unite with the s, as if written cass; but if 
 we make the preceding vowel long, as in case, and, accord- 
 ing to the rules of syllabication laid down by Ramus, Ward, 
 and the Latin grammarians, carry the consonants to tjie suc- 
 ceeding syllable, as if written cay-stray, we find these con- 
 sonants pronounced exactly in the same manner; and this

 t If the long quantity of the Greek and Latin arose nat- 
 urally from the retardation of sound occasioned by the suc- 
 ceeding consonants, the long vowels in this situation ought 
 to have been termed long by nature, and those long vowels 
 which come before single consonants should have been 
 called long by custom; since it was nothing but custom 
 made the vowel e in decus (honor) short, and in dedo (to 
 give) long ; and the vowel m ovum (an egg) long, and in 
 ovo (to triumph) short. 
 
 fi I do not here enter into the question concerning the 
 ancient sound of the Latin a, which I am convinced was 
 like our a in water; but whether it were like the a in paper, 
 father, or water, is not of any importance in the present 
 question ; the quantity is the same, supposing it to have 
 been any one of them.

 OBSERVATIONS ON THE GREEK AND LATIN ACCENT. 
 
 leads us to suppose that double consonants were the signs 
 only, and not the efficients, of long quantity ; and that this 
 same long quantity was not simply a duration of sound upon 
 the consonants, but exactly what wa call long quantity, — a 
 lengthening of the sound by pronouncing the vowel open, 
 as if we were to pronounce the a long in mater^ by sounding 
 it aa if written mayter ; and the same letter short in pat&rj as 
 if it were written patten * 
 
 17. The reason of our repugnance to admit of this analo- 
 gy of quantity in the learned languages is, that a diametri- 
 cally opposite analogy has been adopted in the English, 
 and, I believe, in most modern tongues, — an analogy which 
 makes the vowel long before one consonant, and short be- 
 fore more than one. 
 
 18. If, however, the quantity of the ancients lay only in 
 the vowel, which was lengthened and shortened in our 
 manner by altering the sound, how strange must have been 
 their poetical language, and how different from the words 
 taken singly! Thua the word nee, which, taken singly, 
 must have been pronounced with the vowel short, like our 
 English word neck, — in composition, as in the line of Virgil, 
 where it is long, 
 
 "Fulgura, nee diri toties arsSre cometae," 
 this word must have been pronounced as if written Tweft j 
 just as differently aa the words proper, of, mankind, is, and 
 man, in the line of Pope, would be pronounced by the same 
 rule, 
 
 " The proper study of mankind is man }" 
 and aa if written, 
 
 "The propeer atud^' ove mane-kind ees rnane." 
 When to this alteration of the quantity, by the means of 
 succeeding consonants, we add that rule, 
 
 '* Finalem caesura brevem producere gaudet," 
 which makes the short or doubtful vowel long, that either 
 immediately precedes the caesura, or concludes the hexame- 
 ter verse, — what must be our astonishment at this very dif- 
 ferent sound of the words, arising merely from a different 
 collocation of them, and at the strange variety and ambigu- 
 ity to the ear this difference must occasion ! f 
 
 J9. But if this system of quantity among the ancients ap- 
 pear strange and unaccountable, our wonder will not be 
 diminished when we inquire into the nature of their accent. 
 
 SO. From what has been said of accent and quantity in 
 our own language, we may conclude them to be essentially 
 distinct and perfectly separable ; nor is it to be doubted that 
 they were equally separable in the learned languages ; in- 
 stances of this from the scholiasts and commentators are 
 innumerable ; but so loose and indefinite are many of their 
 expressions, so little do they seem acquainted with the anal- 
 ysis of the human voice, that a great number of quotations 
 are produced to support the most opposite and contradictory 
 systems. Thus Yossius, Henninius, and Dr. Gaily, produce 
 a great number of quotations which seem to confound ac- 
 
 * What exceedingly corroborates this idea of quantity is, 
 the common or doubtful vowels, as they are called ; that is, 
 such aa come before a mute and a liquid ; as the first a in 
 patria, the e in refluo, Sec. ; as in these words the vowel pre- 
 ceding the mute and liquid is either long or short, as the 
 writer or speaker pleases to make it ; but if the consonants 
 naturally retarded the sound of the syllable, so as to make 
 it long, how could this be? If the syl/able were to be made 
 long, did the speaker dwell longer on the consonants, and 
 if it were to be made short, did he hurry them over? And 
 did this make the difference in the quantity of these sylla- 
 bles? The utter impossibility of conceiving this to have 
 been the case renders it highly probable that the long or 
 short quantity lay only in the vowel. 
 
 t See this idea of the different sounds of words, when 
 taken singly, and when in composition, most excellently 
 treated by the author of the Oreek and Latin Prosodies, at- 
 tributed to the present bishop of St. Asaph, p. 101. 
 
 1 Is it not astonishing that learned men will wrangle 
 with each other for whole pages about the sense of a word 
 in Dionysius of Ualicamnssus, upon the difference between 
 singing and speaking sounds, when this difference is just 
 as open to them, by experiment, as it was to him ? Who can 
 sutBciently admire the confidence of Isaac Vossius, who 
 says, — " In cantu latius evagari sonos, quam in recitatione 
 aut communi sermone, utpote in quo vitiosum habeatur, si 
 vox ultra dmpente, seu tres tones et semitonum, acuatur." 
 In singing, the sound has a larger compass than in reading 
 or common speaking, insomuch that, in common discourse, 
 whatever is higher than the diapente is held to be extremely 
 vicious. 
 
 $ Thus Priscian : "In unaquaque parte orationis arsis 
 et thesis sunt velut in hac parte natura-. ut quando dico natu, 
 elevatur vox et est arsis m tu; quando vero ra, deprimitur 
 vox, et eat thesis." Any one would conclude, from this de- 
 Bcrrption of the rising and falling of the voice upon this 
 word, that it could only be pronounced one way, and that 
 
 cent and quantity, by making the acute accent and long 
 quantity signify the same; while Michaelis, Melancthon, 
 Forster, Primat, and many other men of learning, produce 
 clouds of witnesses from the ancients to prove that accent 
 and quantity are essentially different. J The only thing they 
 seem to agree in is^ that the acute accent always raises the 
 syllable on which it is placed higher than any other in the 
 word. $ This is certainly true, in English pnmunciation, if 
 we pronounce the word singly, and terminate it as if no 
 other were to follow j but if we pronounce it in a sentence, 
 where it is the last accented word but one, or where it is at 
 the end of a question beginning with a verb, when we sus- 
 pend the voice in expectation of an answer, we then find 
 the latter syllables of the word, though unaccented, are pro- 
 nounced higher than the accented syllable in the former part 
 of the word. — See No. 7. 
 
 91. But what are we to think of their saying that every 
 monosyllable is either acuted or circumflexed? || If the 
 acute accent signify an elevation of voice, this, with respect 
 to words of one syllable, must mean elevated above some 
 other word either preceding or succeeding, since elevation 
 is a mere comparative word ; but this ia not once mentioned 
 by them ; if it have any meaning, therefore, it must imply 
 that the acute accent is the monosyllable, pronounced with, 
 what I should call, the rising" inflection or upward slide ; and 
 then we can comprehend how a monosyllable may have the 
 acute accent without reference to any other word ; aa when 
 we begin a syllable low, and slide it higher, or begin it 
 high, and slide it lower, it may be said to be acute or grave 
 of itself ; that is, when it is pronounced alone, and inde- 
 pendent of other words. Unless we adopt this definition 
 of the acute and grave, it will be impossible to conceive 
 what the old grammarians mean when they speak of a mon- 
 osyllable having the grave or the acute accent. Thus Dio- 
 medes saya, on some words changing their accent, — "Si 
 post cum gravi pronunciatur accentu, erit prsepositio j si 
 acuto, erit adverbium, ut longo post tempore veni." 
 
 92. It was a canon, in the prosody of the Greeks and Ro- 
 mana, that words of more than one syllable must have either 
 an acute or a circumflex accent ; and that the other sylla- 
 bles, without an accent, were to be accounted grave ; but if 
 this be so, what are we to think of those numerous mono- 
 syllables, and the final syllables of those dissyllables, that 
 we may see marked with the grave accent, as, Mtv, trpd, 
 cvv, Qeds, 'AvTjpj t. t. A. ? " Why, these words," saya Mr. 
 Forster, "whatever Dr. Gaily may conceive, had certainly 
 their elevation on the last syllable;" and this opinion of 
 Mr. Forster is supported by some of the most respectable au- 
 thorities. If 
 
 93. With respect to the power of the accent in both the 
 Greek and Latin languages, nothing can be better estab- 
 lished by the ancient grammarians, than that the acute 
 accent did not lengthen the syllable it fell upon, and that 
 short syllables, remaining short, had often the acute accent. 
 This opinion haa been irrefutably maintained by Mr. For- 
 ster,** and the author of " Observations on the Greek and 
 
 there was no difference in the comparative height of the 
 vowel M, in the two following sentences : — 
 
 " Lucretius wrote a book De Rerum JVatura." 
 " Lucretius wrote a book De J^atura Reritm.'* 
 Whereas it is evident that the word natura is susceptible of 
 two different pronunciations : in the first sentence the syl- 
 lable tu is louder and higher than the last ; and in the sec- 
 ond it is louder and lower than the last ; and this confound- 
 ing of loud with high, and soft with low, seems to be the 
 great stumbling-block both of ancients and moderns. — See 
 No. 7, 8, &:c.

 IT The seeming impossibility of reconciling accent and 
 quantity made Herman Vanderhardt, the author of a small 
 treatise entitled Arcanum •Accentuum Oreseorum, consider the 
 marks of Greek accentuation as referring not to syllabic, but 
 oratorical, accent. But, as Mr. Forster oliserves, "If this 
 supposition were true, we should not meet with the same 
 word constantly accented in the same manner as we see it at 
 present. A word's oratorical accent will vary according to 
 the general sentiment of the passage wherein it occurs; but 
 its syllabic accent will be invariably the same, independent 
 of its connection with other words in the same sentence, 
 except in the case of enclitics and a few others." — Essay 
 on Accent and Q;uantity, p. 95. 
 
 ** But when Mr. Forster endeavors to explain how this 
 is to be done, be has recourse to music : — 
 
 " Notwithstanding the reluctance of Vossiua, Henninius, 
 and thouaands after them, to admit the acute as compatible 
 with a short time, if I could have them near me, with a 
 flute in my hand, or rather with an organ before us, I would 
 engage to convince them of the consistency of these two. 
 I would take any two keys next to each other, one of which 
 would consequently give a sound lower than the other*

 Latin Prosodies,*' though as strenuously denied by Dr. Gaily,* 
 Isaac Vossiua, and Henninius ; and these last seem to have 
 been persuaded of the inseparable concomitancy of the 
 acute accent and long quantity, from the impossibility they 
 supposed there was of separating them in any language. 
 But if we make our ears, and not our eyes, judges of quan- 
 tity, can any thing be more palpable than the short quan- 
 tity of the accented syllables of prdselyte^ Anodyne^ tAbune, 
 and imiuue und the long quantity of the final syllables of 
 these words? And when we pronounce the Greek and 
 Latin words, tr0dXAw, 7a«o, Zt^0Q), amboj nothing can be 
 more evident than the long quantity of the final vowel, 
 though without the accent, and the short quantity of the 
 initial and accented syllable. 
 
 24. As to the long quantity arising from the succession of 
 two consonants, which the ancients are uniform in assert- 
 ing, if itdid not mean that the preceding vowel was to 
 lengthen its sound, as we should do by pronouncing the a 
 in scatter as we do in skater^ (one who skates,) I have no 
 conception of what it meant ;t for if it meant that only 
 the time of the syllable was prolonged, the vowel retaining 
 the same sound, I must confess as utter an inability of com- 
 prehending this source of quantity in the Greek and Latin 
 as in English. Banish, banner^ and banter, have, to our ears, 
 the first syllable equally short ; the same may be observed 
 of senate, seminary , sentence, and sentiment ; and if, as an in- 
 genious critic J has asserted, the ancients pronounced both 
 the consonants in caUidus,faUo, &c., — that is, finishing one 
 I, by separating the tongue from the palate, before the other 
 is begun, — such a pronunciation must necessarily augment 
 the number of syllables, nearly as if written calelidus,falelo, 
 &.C., and is therefore contrary to all the rules of ancient 
 prosody j nor would this pronunciation to our ears give the 
 least length to the preceding vowel, any more than the suc- 
 ceeding mute does in sentence and sentimenU 
 
 25. When these observations on the accent and quantity 
 of the ancients are all put together, shall we wonder that the 
 learned and ingenious author of " Elements of Criticism " $ 
 should go so far as to assert that the dactyls and spondees 
 of hexameter verse, with respect to pronunciation, are 
 merely ideal, not only with us, but that they were so with 
 the ancients themselves? Few, however, will adopt an 
 opinion which will necessarily imply that the Greek and 
 Latin critics were utterly ignorant of the nature of their 
 own language; and every admirer of those excellent writers 
 will rather embrace any explanation of accent and quantity, 
 than give up Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Cicero, Q,uintil- 
 ian, and Longinus. Suppose then, as a last refuge, we 
 were to try to read a Greek or Latin verse, both by accent 
 
 stead of giving an acute to the first, according to our present 
 marks ; I would, conformably to these marks, just touch 
 the higher key for the initial a, and take my finger off" im- 
 mediately ; and then touch the lower key, on which I would 
 dwell longer than I did on the higher, and that would give 
 me a grave with a long time for the syllable et ; the same 
 lower key I would just touch apaiu, and instantly leave it, 
 which would give me a grave with a short time for de .- aei^e. 
 Now, if this can be done on a wind instrument, within the 
 narrow compass of two notes, It may be done by the organs 
 of human speech, which are of the nature of a wind instru- 
 ment, in ordinary pronunciation. For the sounds of our 
 voice, in common speech, differ from those of such musical 
 instruments, not in quality, but in arithmetical discrete 
 quantity or number only, as hath been observed before, and 
 is confirmed by the decisive judgment of that nice and dis- 
 cerning critic, Dionysius of Halicarnassus. Here then is, 
 to demonstration, an acute tone consistent with a short 
 time, and a grave tone with a long one." pp. 34a, 343. To 
 this I may add the observation made by the author of the 
 " Essay on the Harmony of I^anguage : " " Strange it seems, 
 that the author of this passage should maintain an opinion 
 so contrary to truth, so repugnant to his own purpose, so 
 belied by daily and hourly experience, as that the union of 
 the acute tone with a short quantity seldom occurs in Eng- 
 lish pronunciation, and is hardly practicable by an English 
 voice." And still more strange, I may add, is it, that these 
 two authors should not see that the experiment, which is 
 called a demonstration, has nothing to do with the point in 
 question. It regards tones that rise or fall by perceptible 
 intervals, and not such as rise or fall by slides or impercep- 
 tible ones. Let it once be allowed that the Greeks and 
 Romans sung their language, instead of speaking it, and 
 then the acute or grave accent, with long or short quantity, 
 is easily conceived ; but it is not about musical, but speak- 
 ing tones that we inquire ; and though the authority of 
 Dionysius of Halicarnassus is cited for the nature of the 
 speaking voice, as distinct, in degree only, and not in kind, 
 from singing, I boldly assert that this is not matter of au- 
 thority, but of experiment, and that singing and speaking 
 are as distinct as motion and rest. It is true, some motion 
 may be so slow as not to be perceived ; but then it is to be 
 considered as rest ; as a curve may approach so near to a 
 right line as not to be distinguishable from it ; but in these 
 118

 and quantity, in the manner they have prescribed, and see 
 what auch a trial will produce. 
 
 26. By quantity, let us suppose the vowel lengthened to 
 express the long quantity ; and by the acute accent, the 
 rising inflection, as explained above.

 27. Now there are but four possible ways of pronouncing 
 these verses without going into a perfect song ; || one is, to 
 pronounce the accented syllable with the falling inflection, 
 and the unaccented syllable with the same inflection in a 
 lower tone, which is the way we pronounce our own 
 words when we give them the accent with the falling 
 inflection ; the second is, to pronounce the accented sylla- 
 ble with the rising inflection, and the unaccented syllables 
 with the same inflection in a lower tone, which we never 
 hear in our own language ; the third is, to pronounce the 
 accented syllable with the falling inflection, and the unac- 
 cented syllables with the rising, in a lower tone ; and tlie 
 fourth^ to pronounce the accented syllable with the rising 
 inflection, and the unaccented with the falling, in a lower 
 tone. None of these modes but the first and last do we 
 ever hear in our own language; the second and third seem 
 too difficult to permit us to suppose that they could he the 
 natural current of the human voice in any language. The 
 first leaves us no possible means of explaining the circum- 
 flex ; but the last, by doing this, gives us the strongest rea- 
 son to suppose that the Greek and Latin acute accent was 
 the rising inflection, and the grave accent the falling inflec- 
 tion, in a lower tone. 
 
 28. But if the reader were sufficiently acquainted with 
 these inflections of voice, or could be present while I ex- 
 emplified them to him, I doubt not that he would imme- 
 diately say it was impossible so monotonous a pronunciatior. 
 
 cases, where the senses, and not the understanding, are ad- 
 dressed, things are to be estimated for just what the senses 
 value them at. I}e non apparentibus, et de non existentibusj

 * If the acute accent, or stress, as Dr. Gaily calls it, made 
 the short syllable long, what becomes of the metre of 
 verse .'' How will he scan " Arma virumque cano " ? 
 
 f If the double consonants naturally made a syllable 
 long, I should be glad to know how there could be excep- 
 tions to this rule. How could Ammonius say that the sec- 
 ond syllable of Kdrayfia was long, when the word was used 
 in one particular sense, and short in another ? And how 
 could Cicero say that the first letter of 'indytus was short, 
 and the first of Insanus and Infilix long, if two succeeding 
 consonants naturally lengthened the syllable ? Dr. Forster, 
 indeed, attempts to reconcile this contradiction, by observ- 
 ing that Cicero does not say the first syllable of tnclytus is 
 short, but the first letter; but it may be demanded, What ia 
 it that makes the syllable long or short, but the length or 
 shortness of the vowel? If the double consonants neces- 
 sarily retard the sound of the vowel, the second syllable of 
 Kdrayna, and the first of inclytus, could not possibly be 
 pronounced short ; and particularly the latter word could 
 not be so pronounced, as it has the accent on the first syl- 
 lable. See sect. 16, in the Note.

 11 This, I may be bold to say, is coming to the point at 
 once, without hiding our ignorance, by supposing that the 
 ancients had some mysterious way of pronouncing, which 
 we are utterly incapable of conceiving. Mr. Sheridan tells 
 us that "the ancients did observe the distinction of accents 
 by an elevation and depression of voice ; but the manner 
 in which they did it must remain for ever a secret to us ; for 
 with the living tongue perished the tones also, which we in 
 vain endeavor to seek for in their visible marks." — Lectures 
 on Elocution, 4to. edition, p. 39. From these and similar 
 observations in many of our writers, one would be tempted 
 to imagine that the organs of speaking in ancient Greece 
 and Rome were totally diffferent from those of the present 
 race of men in Europe,

 OBSERVATIONS ON THE GREEK AND LATIN ACCENT. 
 
 could bQ that of the Greeks and Romans ; * but when we 
 consider the monotony of the Scotch, Welsh, and Irish, 
 why should we wonder that other nations should be as 
 monotonous? Let us view the Greek and Latin pronuncia- 
 tion on which side we will, we must, to be consistent with 
 their own rules, feel them to be extremely monotonous. 
 According to the laws of ancient prosody, every unaccented 
 syllable must be lower than that which is accented j and if 
 BO, a most disagreeable monotony must necessarily ensue ; 
 for as every word in Latin, and almost every word in 
 Greek, of more than one syllable, ended with the grave 
 accent, — that is, in a lower tone than the preceding sylla- 
 bles, — almost every word in those languages ended with 
 the same tone, let that tone have been what it would.f 
 29. I am supported in this conjecture, notwithstanding all 
 the fine things if the ancients, and many of the moderns, 
 say of the variety and harmony of the Greek and Latin 
 languages, by the definition which they give of the circum- 
 flex accent j which is, that it was a combination of the 
 acute and grave upon the same syllable. This is so incom- 
 prehensible to modern ears, that scarcely any one but the 
 author of the present Observations has attempted to explain 
 It by experiment. It stands for nothing but long quantity in 
 all our schools ; and, contrary to the clearest testimoryes of 
 antiquity, it has, by Dr. Gally,$ and a late respectable writer 
 on the " Greek and Latin Prosodies," been explained away 
 into nothing more than the acute accent. But if it means a 
 raising and falling of the voice upon the same syllable, 
 which is the definition the ancients uniformly give of it, it 
 is just as easy to conceive as raising and falling the voice 
 upon successive syllables ; or, in other words, as going from 
 a lower tone to a higher upon one syllable, and from a 
 higher to a lower upon the next ; and this consideration 
 leads me to conjecture that the acute accent of the ancients 
 was really the rising inflection, or upward slide of the 
 voice ; for this being once supposed, nothing is so easy as to 
 demonstrate the circumflex in our own language, which, 
 
 * Dr. Bumey tells us that Meibomiua, the great and 
 learned Meibomius, when prevailed upon, at Stockholm, to 
 sing Greek strophes, set the whole court of Christina in a 
 roar, as Naud6 did in executing a Roman dance. And Scal- 
 iger observes, that if the nice tonical pronunciation of the 
 ancients could be expressed by a modern, it would be disa- 
 greeable to our ears. 
 
 t This is certainly too general an assertion, if we con- 
 sider the real pronunciation of the Greek language accord- 
 ing to accent ; as it must be allowed that a great number of 
 Greek words were accented with the acute or circumflex on 
 the last syllable. But when we consider the modern pro- 
 nunciation of Greek, which confounds it with the Latin, 
 we shall not have occasion to recall the assertion. To which 
 we may add, that those words in Greek that were circum- 
 flexed on the last syllable, may very properly be said to end 
 with the grave accent ; and that those which had a grave 
 upon the final syllable altered the grave to an acute only 
 when they were pronounced alone, when they came before 
 an enclitic, or when they were at the end of tlie sentence. 
 
 J The Grecian sage, (says Dr. Bumey,) according to 
 Gravina, was at once a philosopher, a poet, and a musician. 
 " In separating these characters," says he, " they have all 
 been weakened j the system of philosophy has been con- 
 tracted ; ideas have failed in poetry, and force and energy 
 in song. Truth no longer subsists among mankind; the 
 philosopher speaks not, at present, through the medium of 
 poetry, nor is poetry heard any more through the vehicle of 
 melody." — " Now, to my apprehension," says Dr. Bumey, 
 " the reverse of all this is exactly true j for, by being sepa- 
 rated, each of these professions receives a degree of cultiva- 
 tion which fortifies and renders it more powerful, if not 
 more illustrious. The music of ancient philosophers, and 
 the philosophy of modern musicians, I take to be pretty 
 equal in excellence." — History of Music, vol. i. p. 169. 
 Here we see good sense and sound philosophy contrasted 
 with the blind admuration and empty flourish of an over- 
 grown schoolboy concluding his theme. 
 
 $ " Dissertation against Greek Accents," p. 53. 
 
 11 To add to our astonishment, that the Greek and Latin 
 languages had but one circumflex, what can be more won- 
 derful than that, among so many of the ancients who have 
 written on the causes of eloquence, and who have descend- 
 ed to such trifling and childish observations upon the im- 
 portance of letters and syllables, we should not find a single 
 author who has taken notice of the importance of empha- 
 sis upon a single word? Our modern books of elocution 
 abound with instances of the change produced in the sense 
 of a sentence by changing the place of the emphasis ; but 
 no such instance appears among the ancients ; not one 
 poor WUl you ride to town to-day 1 
 
 Our wonder will increase, when we consider that the 
 ancients frequently mention the different meaning of a word 
 as it was differently accented j that is, as the acute or cir- 
 cumflex was placed upon one syUahle or another ; but they 
 never hint that the sense of a sentence is altered by an em- 
 
 without this clew, it will be impossible to do in the ancient 
 languages ; and even with it, we must be astonished they 
 had but one circumflex; since it is just as easy to fall and 
 raise the voice upon the same syllable as to raise and fall it.|| 
 
 30. But our wonder at these peculiarities of the Greek 
 and Latin languages will cease, when we turn our thoughts 
 to the dramatic performances of the people who spoke these 
 languages. Can any thing astonish us more, than that all 
 their tragedies and comedies were set to music, and actually 
 accompanied by musical instruments? How is our laugh- 
 ter, as well as our wonder, excited, when we are told that 
 sometimes one actor gesticulated while another recited a 
 speech, and that the greater admiration was bestowed upon 
 the former ! Nay, to raise the ridicule to the highest pitch, 
 we are informed that actors in their speeches, and the 
 chorus in their songs, accompanied their performances by 
 dancing ; that the actors wore masks lined with brass, to 
 give an echoing sound to the voice, and that these masks 
 were marked with one passion on one side, and with a con- 
 trary passion on the other ; and that the actor turned that 
 side to the spectators which corresponded to the passion of 
 the speech he was reciting. These extraordinary circum- 
 stances are not gathered from obscure passages of the an- 
 cients, picked up here and there, but are brought to us by 
 the general and united voice of all antiquity j and therefore, 
 however surprising, or even ridiculous, they may seem, are 
 undoubtedly true 
 
 31. Perhaps it will be said. Is it possible that those who 
 have left us such proofs of their good sense and exquisite 
 taste in their writings, statues, medals, and seals, could be 
 so absurd in their dramatic representations? The thing is 
 wonderful, it may be answered ; but not more so than that 
 they should not have seen the use of stirrups in riding, of 
 the polarity of the loadstone in sailing, and of several other 
 modern discoveries, which seem to have stared them full in 
 the face without their perceiving it.ir But is there any thing 
 more common than to find not only individuals, but a whole 
 
 phasis being placed upon diffferent wards. The ambiguity 
 arising from the same word being diflferently accented is so 
 happily exempUfied hy the author of the " Greek and Latin 
 Prosodies," that I shall use his words : " Alexander Jipkro- 
 disiensis illustrates this species of sophism by a well-chosen 
 example of a law in which the sense depends entirely upon 
 the accuracy of accentuation. 'Eraipa xpvcia ei ^opoirj 
 &rip6aia ^aru). The word 6ijp6aiaj with the acute accent 
 upon the antepenult, is the neuter nominative plural, in ap- 
 position with xf^'^o'-o- -And the sense is, * If a courtesan 
 wear golden trinkets, let them (viz., her golden trinkets) 
 be forfeited to the public use.* But if the accent be ad- 
 vanced to the penult, the word, without any other change, 
 becomes the feminine nominative -singular, and must be 
 taken in apposition with iraipa. And thus the sense will 
 be, ' If a courtesan wear golden trinkets, let her become 
 public property,* This is a very notable instance of the 
 political importance of accents, of written accents, in the 
 Greek language. For if this law had been put in writing, 
 without any accent upon the word Snu^iria, there would 
 have been no means of deciding between two constnictions, 
 either of which the words, in this state, would equally 
 have admitted ; and it must have remained an inexplicable 
 doubt, whether the legislator meant that the poor woman 
 should only forfeit her trinkets, or become a public slave." 
 
 IT We have the strongest proof in the world, that the 
 ancient Greeks made use only of capital letters, that they 
 were utterly ignorant of punctuation, and that there was 
 not the least space between words or sentences, but that 
 there was an equal continuation of letters, which the reader 
 was obliged to decipher, without any assistance from points 
 or distances. Without the clearest evidence, could we sup- 
 pose that, while composition had reached the perfection it 
 had done in Greece, orthography was in a state of barbarity 
 worthy of the Cape of Good Hope ? 
 
 Can any thing give us a more ludicrous idea than the 
 practice of the ancients in sometimes splitting a word at 
 the end of the line, and commencing the next line with the 
 latter part of the word? This must have been nearly as 
 ridiculous as the following English verses, in imitation of 
 this absurd practice: — 
 
 Pyrrhus, you tempt a danger high, 
 When you would steal from angry li- 
 Oness her cubs, and soon shall fly 
 
 inglorious. 
 
 For know the Romans, you shall find 
 By virtue more and generous kind- 
 Ness, than by force or fortune blind, 
 
 victorious. 
 
 Notwithstanding the hackneyed epithet of Gothic barbarity 
 applied to verse in rhyme, is it not wonderful that a species 
 of versification, approved by Italy, France, and England, in 
 their best periods of poetry, should never once have been 
 tried by the Greeks and Romans? — that they should never 
 have straggled, either by chance or for the sake of change

 people, who, though remarkably excellent in some things, 
 are surprisingly deficient in others ? So true Is the observa- 
 tion of Middleton, who, speaking of those who have written 
 on the pronunciation of the Greek and Latin languages, 
 says, "Ab illis ver6 acriptoribus etsi plurima ingenios6 
 atque erudite disputata sint, nonnulla tamen deesse, multa 
 dubi6, quiedam etiam falso posita animadverti ; idque hac in 
 causa accidisse, quod in cieteria plerisque aolet, ut morta- 
 lium nemini detur rem inveniase simul et perfecisse." —

 32. That singing a part in a tragedy should seem so un- 
 natural* to us, arises chiefly from our being so little accus- 
 tomed to it. Singing in the pulpit seems to the fUll as 
 extraordinary ; and yet this son" was so powerful about a 
 century or two ago, and later in Scotland,! as to make mere 
 speaking, though with the utmost energy, appear flat and 
 insipid. Let the human voice be but in a fine tone, and let 
 this tone be intensely impassioned, and it will infallibly, as 
 Milton expresses it, 
 
 « take the prisoned soul. 
 
 And lap it in Elysium ." 
 
 33. What may tend to reconcile us still more to this dra- 
 matic music, is the singsov,^ manner, as it is called, of 
 pronouncing tragedy, which very generally prevailed before 
 the time of Mr. Garrick, and which now prevails among 
 some classes of speakers, and is preferred by them to what 
 we call the more natural manner. This drawling, undulat- 
 ing pronunciation is what the actors generally builesque by 
 repeating the line, 
 
 Tum ti tum ti, turn ti turn ti turn ti ; 
 
 and though this mode of declamation is now so much de- 
 
 into so pleasing a jingle of sounds ? They who would write 
 poems, and so lengthen or shorten the lines as to form axes, 
 wings, and altars, might, without any imputation on their 
 taste, have, now and then, condescended to rhyme. In 
 short, that the ancients should never have slid into rhyme, 
 ia a circumstance which would never have been believed, 
 had it been possible to doubt it ; and I fear it must be classed 
 with that long catalogue of unaccountables, with which 
 their prosody, their rhetoric, and their drama, abound. 
 
 * Perhaps our unwillingness to believe that the ancient 
 dramas were set to music, arises from a very mistaken no- 
 tion we have of their skill in that art. It is true we have 
 not the same materials for judging of their music as we 
 have of their poetry and sculpture; but their ignorance of 
 counterpoint, and the poverty of their instruments, suffi- 
 ciently show what little progress they had made in it. 
 Those very few remains of their music which have reached 
 us, confirm us in this conjecture ; and it is to the indefati- 
 gable pains of so good a scholar and so excellent a musician 
 as Dr. Burney, that we are indebted for an illustration of it. 
 
 " At the end of a Greek edition of the astronomical poet 
 Aratus, called PfuBJiomena," says Dr. Burney, " and their 
 Scholia, published at Oxford in 1769, the anonymous editor, 
 supposed to be Dr. John Pell, among several other pieces, has 
 enriched the volume with three hymns, which he supposed 
 to have been written by a Greek poet called Dionysius ; of 
 which the first is addressed to the muse Calliope, the second 
 to Apollo, and the third to Nemesis; and these hymns are 
 accompanied with the notes of ancient music to which they 
 used to be sung. 
 
 "I know not whether justice has been done to these 
 melodies ; all I can say is, that no pains have been spared 
 to place them in the clearest and most favorable point of 
 view J and yet, with all the advantages of modern notes 
 and modern measures, if I had been told that they came 
 from the Cherokees or the Hottentots, I should not have 
 been surprised at their excellence. 
 
 " I have tried them in every key and in every measure 
 that the feet of the verses would allow ; and as it has been 
 the opinion of some that the Greek scale and music should 
 be read Hebrew-wise, I have even inverted the order of the 
 notes, but without being able to augment their grace and 
 elegance. The most charitable supposition that can be 
 admitted concerning them is, that the Greek language, be- 
 ing itself accentuated and sonorous, wanted less assistance 
 from musical refinements than one that was more harsh 
 and rough ; and music being still a slave to poetry, and 
 wholly governed by its feet, derived all its merit and efiects 
 from the excellence of the verse, and sweetness of the voice 
 that sung, or rather recited it ; for mellifluous and affec^ng 
 voices nature bestows, from time to time, on some gifted 
 mortals in aU the habitable regions of the earth ; and even 
 the natural effusions of these must ever have been heard 
 with delight. But, as music, there needs no other proof of 
 the poverty of ancient melody, than its being confined to 
 long and short syllables. We have some airs of the most 
 graceful and pleasing kind, which will suit no arrangement 
 of syUables to be found in any poetical numbers, ancient or 
 modern, and which it is impossible to express, by mere sy - 
 lables, in any language with which I am at all acquainted." 
 
 spised, it ia highly probable that it was formerly held in 
 estimation.| 
 
 34. Now, if we suppose this drawling pronunciation, 
 which, though very sonorous, is precisely speaking; and 
 essentially different from singing ; — if we suppose this to 
 liave been the conversation pronunciation of the Greeks 
 and Romans, it may possibly throw some light upon the 
 manner in which they pronounced by accent and quantity 
 at the same time ; for though we can sufficiently conceive 
 that, in common speaking in our own language, we 
 can make the accented syllable short, and the unaccent- 
 ed syllable long, as in the words qualify^ specify^ elbow, 
 irnnate^ &;c., yet in the drawling pronunciation we have 
 been speaking of, the long unaccented vowels in these 
 words are made much longer, and consequently more per- 
 ceptible. 
 
 35. But if the accent of our language be so different from 
 that of the Greek and Latin, our pronunciation must neces- 
 sarily be very different likewise. The acute accent of the 
 ancients being always higher than either the preceding or 
 succeeding syllables, and our accent, though always higher 
 than the preceding, being sometimes lower than the suc- 
 ceeding syllables, (see sect. 7.,) there must certainly be a 
 wide difference between our pronunciation and theirs. Let 
 us, however, explain the Greek and Latin accent as we will, 
 — let it be by singing, drawling, or common speaking, — it 
 will be impossible to tell how a monotony could be avoided, 
 when almost every word of more than one syllable in these 
 languages, must necessarily have ended in the same tone, 
 or, if you will, with the same grave accent.^ 
 
 36. After all, that the Greeks and Romans, in explaining 
 the causes of metrical and prosaic harmony, should some- 
 times descend to such minute particulars || as appear to us 
 
 Dr. Burney's conjecture, that the Greek music was entire- 
 ly subservient to verse, accounts for the little attention 
 which was paid to it in a separate state ; it accounts for the 
 effects with which their music was accompanied, and for 
 the total uselessness of counterpoint. Simple melody is the 
 fittest music to accompany words, when we wish to under- 
 stand what is sung : simple melody is the music of the 
 great bulk of mankind; and simple melody is never under- 
 valued till the ear have been sufficiently disciplined to dis- 
 cover the hidden melody, which is still essential to the most 
 complicated and elaborate harmony. 
 
 t The Rev. Mr. Whitefield was a highly animated and 
 energetic preacher, without the least tincture of that tone 
 which is called cantino-. When he went to Scotland, where 
 this tone was in high estimation, though his doctrine 
 was in perfect unison with that of his auditors, his simple 
 and natural, though earnest, manner of speaking was 
 looked upon, at first, as a great defect. He wanted, they 
 said, the holy tone. 
 
 { This cant, which, though disgustful now to all but mere 
 rustics, on account of its being out of fEishion, was very 
 probably the favorite modulation in which heroic verses 
 were recited by our ancestors. So fluctuating are the taste 
 and practices of mankind! But whether the power of 
 language have received any advantage from the change just 
 mentioned, (namely, pronouncing words in a more simple 
 manner), will appear at least very doubtful, when we recol- 
 lect the stories of its former triumphs, and the inherent 
 charms of musical sounds. — The Mrt of delivering Written 
 Languagej p. 73. 
 
 § Where was all that endless variety with which the 
 moderns puff off the Greek language, when it had but one 
 circumflex? The human voice is just as capable of falling 
 and rising upon the same syllable as rising and falling ; and 
 why so palpable a combination of sounds as the former 
 should be utterly unknown to the Greeks and Latins, can 
 be resolved into nothing but (horresco referens I) their ig- 
 norance of the principles of human speech. 
 
 II " Nee illi [Demostheni] turpe videbatur vel optimis relic- 
 tis magistris ad canes se conferre, et ab illis p liters vim et 
 naturam petere, illorumque in sonando, quod satis esset, 
 morem imitari." — dd. Mekerk. de vet. et rect. Pron. Ling. 
 OrtBca, p. 14. 
 
 It is an observation of Chambers, author of the " CycIopeB- 
 dia," that nonsense sounds worse in the English than in any 
 other language. Let us try the experiment by translating 
 the above passage:— Nor did Demosthenes think it below 
 him to leave the company of the most respectable people of 
 Athens, and go to the dogs, in order to learn from them the 
 nature of the letter r, and, by observing the sound they 
 gave it, to imitate, as much as was necessary, their manner 
 of pronouncing it. . ^u a i 
 
 What encomiums do we meet with in Cicero, on tne aei- 
 icacy of the ears even of the common people of Rome, who, 
 if an actor on the stage made the least error m accent or 
 quantity, were immediately sensible of it, and would ex- 
 press their disapprobation ! But I am apt to think that an 
 English actor, who should pronounce the&tre, semtor, or 
 coTi^uestj with the accent on the second syUable, would not 
 escape better than the Roman.

 OBSERVATIONS ON THE GREEK AND LATIN ACCENT. 
 
 trifling and imaginary, and at the same time tieglect things 
 which appear to us so essential ; that they should be so 
 dark, and sometimes so contradictory, in their account of 
 accent and quantity, aa to furnish opposite systems among 
 the modems, with ample quotations in favor of each ; — is 
 this more wonderfai than that Mr. Sheridan,* who was so 
 good an actor, and who had spent so much time in studying 
 and writing on elocution, should say that accent was only 
 a louder pronunciation of the accented syllable, and not a 
 higher. But as this same Mr. Sheridan, in his >drt qf Read- 
 ingj has excellently observed, that iour perception of Latin 
 quantity is imaginary, and arises not from the ear, but only 
 from association, like spelling, so it may be observed, that 
 the confusion and obscurity which reign among all our 
 writers on accent and quantity, seem to arise from an ideal 
 perception of long quantity produced by double consonants ; 
 from confounding stress and quantity, which are so totally 
 
 * " The Scotchman utters the first syllable of battle^ hor~ 
 row, hality in the middle tone, dwelling on the vowel; and 
 the second with a sudden elevation of the voice, and short ; 
 as, ba-Ue^ b&Vr^Qy hd-bit. The Englishman utters both sylla- 
 bles without any perceptible change of tone, and in equal 
 time; aa.bat'Uej bor'row, hab'it." — ^rt of Reading j p. 77. 
 The smallest degree of attention might have taught Mr. 
 Sheridan that, though this is the prevailing, it is not the in- 
 variaUe, pronunciation of a Scotchman ; and that this ele- 
 vation of voice, though more perceptible in a Scotchman, 
 from his drawling out his tones, is no less re£d in an Eng- 
 lishman, who pronounces them quicker, and uses them less 
 frequently ; that is, he mixes the downward inflection with 
 them, which produces a variety. But these two inflections 
 of voice Mr. Sheridan was an utter stranger to. — See Ele- 
 ments ofElocutioTij part ii. p. 183. 
 
 f Nothing is more fallacious than that perception we seem 
 to have of the sound of words being expressive of the ideas, 
 and becoming, as Pope calls it, an echo to the sense. This 
 coincidence, as Dr. Johnson observes in one of his Ram- 
 blers, seldom exists any where but in the imagination of 
 the reader. Dryden, who often wrote as carelessly as he 
 tliought, and often thought as carelessly as he lived, began 
 a commendation of the sweetness and smoothness of two 
 lines of Denham in praise of the Thames — 
 
 different ; and from mistaking loud for liigh, and soft for 
 low, contrary to the clearest definitions of each.f 
 
 37. But till the human voice, which is the same in all 
 ages ^and nations, be more studied and better understood, 
 and till a notation of speaking sounds he adopted, I despair 
 of conveying my ideas of this subject with sufficient clear- 
 ness Upon paper. I have, however, marked such an outline 
 as may be easily filled up by those who study speaking 
 with half tlie attention they must do music. From an en- 
 tire conviction that the ancients had a notation of speaking 
 sounds, and from the actual experience of having formed 
 one myself, I think I can foresee that some future philosoph- 
 ical inquirer, with more learning, more leisure, and more 
 credit with the world, than I have, will be able to unravel 
 this mystery in letters, which has so long beeh the appro- 
 briuTtt et crux gtawiHiaUoorvm^ — the reproach and torment <lf 
 grammarians. 
 
 " Though deep, yet clear, though gentle, yet not dull j 
 Strong without rage, without o'erflowmg full j " 
 
 and this commendation of Dryden's has been echoed by all 
 subsequent writers, who have taken it for granted that 
 there is a flow in the lines similar to that of the object 
 described ; while the least attention to those stops so neces- 
 sary on the accented and antithetic words will soon con- 
 vince us that, however expressive the lines may be, they 
 are as rugged and as little musical as almost any in the 
 language. 
 
 A celebrated critic observes, " I am apt to think the har- 
 mony of the verse was a secret to Mr. Dryden ; since it is 
 evident he was not acquainted with the cDBsural stops, by 
 which all numbers are harmonized. Dr. Bentley has ob- 
 served, the beauty of the second verse consists in the ictas 
 that sounds on the first syllable of the verse, which, in 
 English heroics, should sound on the second ; for this verse 
 is derive^ from the Trimeter Iambic, Brachycatalectic." — 
 Manwaring's Stichology^ p. 71. 
 
 When Iread such profound observations in such learned 
 terms, it brings to my mind the Mock Doctor in the farce, 
 who shines away to the illiterate knight, by repeating 
 Propria qate maribuSj &.C., and makes him most pathetically 
 exclaim, " O, why did I neglect my studies! "

 AAAA* 
 
EEMARKS 
 
 PRONUNCIATION OF MODERN GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES. 
 
 The pronunciation of geographical names is a very difficult branch of orthoepy. These names 
 pertain to all parts of the globe ; their vernacular or native pronunciation is regulated or affected by 
 every variety of language ; and it would be impossible to represent, in all cases, the native pronun- 
 ciation by any combination of English letters. 
 
 There are a great many names, respecting the pronunciation of which it is difficult to determine 
 how far the English analogy should be allowed to prevail over the analogy of the languages to 
 which the words respectively belong. If we look for authorities for the pronunciation of these 
 names, we find comparatively few; and such authorities as exist embrace but a small part of the 
 words of this class ; and there is also much disagreement among orthogpists with respect to the 
 pronunciation of such of these names as they undertake to pronounce. 
 
 With regard to the geographical names which pertain to all the countries in which the English 
 language is spoken, including the British empire in Europe, the United States, and the British 
 provinces generally, their pronunciation is, of course, conformed, for the most part, to the analogy 
 of the English language. In addition to these, all the geographical names which belong to other 
 parts of the globe, but which have become Anglicized by having changed their native form and 
 assumed an English orthography, are also conformed to the general principles of English pronun- 
 ciation. The most common geographical names, such as those which relate to the great divisions 
 of the globe, the names of the countries, kingdoms, states, principal cities, &c., are differently 
 written, as well as differently pronounced, in different languages. The following table exhibits a 
 few examples of this diversity, by way of illustration ; —

 There can be no doubt but that geographical names, which assume such different forms in differ- 
 ent languages, should be pronounced differently by the inhabitants of different countries, and in 
 accordance with the analogies of their respective languages. All the common geographical names, 
 such as are familiar to all intelligent persons, have become more or less Anglicized, and their pro- 
 nunciation is more or less conformed to the English analogy. Many of these words may be 
 considered as perfectly Anglicized, and are pronounced as common English words ; but there 
 are many that are only partially Anglicized, and with regard to such, it is often difficult to deter- 
 mine how far, in pronouncing them, the English analogy should be allowed to prevail over 
 that of the language to which the words properly belong.

 Proper names are more subject to a corrupt pronunciation, or one which is not conformed to the 
 
 orthography, than common names. A considerable number of the geographical names pertaining 
 
 to England are pronounced very differently from what their orthography indicates; as, for example, 
 
 Chertsey a.nd Cirencester, pronounced ches'se and sis'e-ter. Americans are somewhat less inclined 
 
 to debate from orthography, in the pronunciation of some words, than the English are. Beru,ick 
 
 and Warwick, for example, which are pronounced in England ber'i/c and wor'ik, are verv often 
 
 pronounced, m the United States, as they are spelled. 
 
 The following Vocabulary was prepared some years since, and annexed to the Comprehensive 
 Jhctwnary, and to the Elements of Geography, of the author. It has now been somewhat enlarged 
 and improved, by farther inquiry, and by the examination of various new authorities, particularly 
 Mr. Baldwin s Universal Pronouncing Gazetteer, a work in which the subject of the pronunciation of 
 geographical names has been attended to with much care and intelligence. Still this Vocabulary 
 m Its present state, is very imperfect. The pronunciation affixed to many of the words may be 
 objected to, as not the most proper. A person much versed in foreign languages will be likely to 
 think that the pronunciation generally has been too much Anglicized; while a mere English scholar 
 will think it is not sufficiently so ; and both may doubtless make out a plausible case in favor of 
 their respective views. But, defective as it is, it is hoped that it will not be found a useless append- 
 age to a pronouncing dictionary. 
 
 PRINCIPLES 
 
 OF 
 
 PRONUNCIATION OP SEVERAL EUROPEAN LANGUAGES. 
 
 The following Rules, respecting the pronunciation 
 of certain letters in the principal modern languages of 
 continental Europe, may be of some use in relation to 
 the pronunciation of names pertaining to the several 
 countries where these languages are spoken, though it 
 may be advisable for a mere English scholar to make 
 but a partial application of them in practice. 
 
 VOWELS. 
 
 A, — The vowel o, in situations in which the anal- 
 ogy of the English language would naturally give it the 
 sound of long a, has, in the languages of the continent 
 of Europe, what is called the Italian sound, that is, the 
 sound of a in Jur and father. In other situations, 
 Its sound approaches nearly to its short English sound. 
 
 E.—The sound of the vowel e, at the end of an ac- 
 cented syllable, is the same as that of the English long 
 a, in fate, name. In other situations, it has the sound 
 of the English short c, in met, men. 
 
 I- — The long sound of i, in these languages, is the 
 same as in the English word marine, being the same 
 as the English sound of long e in mete, seen. The short 
 sound is the same as its English short sound in pin. 
 
 O. — The vowel has the same sounds that it has in 
 English in the words note, not, and rvor. 
 
 f- — The vowel u, in most of these languages, has 
 the same sound that it has in English in the word ruLe, 
 being the same as 00 ia fool, moon; and when short, it 
 has the sound of « in bull, or of 00 in good. The sound 
 of M, in the French language, and also in the Dutch, has 
 no equivalent sound in English ; and it can be learned 
 in man,fat. I only by oral instruction. It may be regarded as inter-

 mediate between the sound of long e and oo, partaking 
 of both. 
 
 K.— The vowel y has, in most of these languages, 
 the same sound as t, that is, of long e, as in me ; but in 
 the Dutch language, it has the sound of the English 
 long i, in pine. 
 
 DIPHTHONGS. 
 
 AE or ^. — The sound of the diphthong a, in 
 Dutch, is like the English sound of a in far; in Ger- 
 man, <s or 12 like that of the English a, in fate. 
 
 AT. ^ The sound of the diphthong ai, in French, is 
 like that of the English long a, in fate; in Italian, 
 Spanish, and Portuguese, like that of the English long 
 if in pine. 
 
 4 £7 and EAU. — The diphthong an, and the triph- 
 thong eau, in French, have the sound of the English 
 long 0, in note ; as, Chaumont, (sho-mSng',) Beauvais, 
 (bo-va'.) In German, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese, 
 the diphthong au has the English sound of ow in now ; 
 as, Austerlitz, (Ous'ter-llts.) The German diphthongs 
 du and eu have a sound like that of the English diph- 
 thong oi, in tail ; as, Neusladt, (nW'stat.) 
 
 jE/and EY. — The diphthongs ei and ey, in German, 
 have a sound similar to the English sound of long t, 
 in pine ; aa, Leip'sic. 
 
 EU. — The French diphthong eu has a sound similar 
 to that of the English sound of e in her, or u in fur. 
 
 IE. — The diphthong ie, in French, German, Dutch, 
 &c., has the sound of the English long e, in mete; 
 as, Wie'land. 
 
 UE or V. — The sound of the German diphthong tie 
 or a is like that of the French u. 
 
 OU. — The French diphthong ou has the sound of 
 the English oo, in tool; as, TOu-Mtise', (td-ldz'.) 
 
 OE or O. — The sound of the German diphthong 
 oe or resembles that of the French eu ; but it has no 
 equivalent sound in English^ and is not easily ex- 
 plained. It may be conceived, in the name of Goethe, 
 or Gathe, thus represented, (gust'ta,) pronounced in 
 two syllables, the sounds of u and of e in her, m the 
 6rst syllable, being blended together. 
 
 CONSONANTS. 
 
 The sounds of most of the consonants, in the conti- 
 nental languages, are the same as in English. Some of 
 the principal exceptions are the following : — 
 
 B. — The sound of 6, in German, at the end of a 
 word, is like that of the English]);.— in Spanish, be- 
 tween two vowels, similar to v. 
 
 C. — The sound of c, in German, before e, i, and y, 
 is like that of ts in English ; — in Italian, before e and 
 i, like that of eft in the English word chUl; — in Span- 
 ish, before e and i, like that of th in thin. 
 
 D. -r- The sound of d, in German and Dutch, at the 
 end of a word, is like that of < in English ; — in Danish 
 and Spanish, between two vowels or at the end of a 
 syllable, like that of th in IMs. 
 
 G. — The sound of g, in French, before i, e, and y, 
 is like that of zh in English j — in Spanish, before e 
 and i, the same as the Spanish y,- — in Italian, before 
 e and i, like that o[g in the English word gem, or j in 
 jet ; — in German, at the beginning of words, it is hard, 
 like g m get; and in words ending in gen, it is thrown 
 back on the penultimate syllable 3 as, Hech'ing-en. 
 
 J. — The sound of J, in French and Portuguese, is 
 like that of zftin English j — in Spanish, it is like that of 
 ft strongly aspirated 3 ^ in the other languages, like that 
 of ^ consonant. 
 
 Ji. — The sound of x, in Spanish, is like that of A 
 strongly aspirated, being the same as that of the Spaur 
 ish j, and also of g before e and i. 
 
 Z. -~ The sound of z, in German and Swedish, is 
 like that of fs in English;— in Italian, like dz; zz, in 
 Italian, like ts. 
 
 CH. — The sound of the digraph eft, in French and 
 Portuguese, is the same as the English sft, or of eft in 
 chaise ; — in Spanish, the same as eft in the English word 
 chill; — in ItsJian, (as in words from the ancient lan- 
 guages, Hebrew, Greek, and Latin,) like that of %. — In 
 German and Dutch, it has a hard, guttural sound, 
 not easily represented in English, but resembling that 
 of ft strongly aspirated. It is represented in this Vo- 
 cabulary, as it is in others, by the letter k. 
 
 TH. — TTie digraph ift, in these several languages, 
 has the sound of < ; as, Theit, (tis.)
