 PEEFACE. 
 
 This Dictionary is presented to the people of the Southern States as the 
 basis of a future one, which ma}^ embody the words, pronunciation, and 
 meanings that are adopted and used by our best speakers and writers. 
 And whereas no one person is competent to determine these things for the 
 whole nation, the attention of teachers, professors, and all who desire to 
 promote elegance and accuracy in the use of language among the rising 
 generation, is respectfully invited to this book, and they are requested 
 to mark down its errors, omissions, and redundancies, and send their 
 notes and emendations to the Publisher, who will not only gladly avail 
 himself of them, but cheerfully rcmunei-ate any whose labours may be 
 productive of considerable advantage to the work. 
 
 If this request is generally heeded, materials may be collected for 
 a National Dictionary. 
 
 That such a book is needed must be evident from such words as 
 " creek," which is pronounced " crick " in New England, and means " an 
 inlet of the sea " in Great Britain, while, in the South, it differs from New 
 England iu its pronunciation, and from England in its meaning. 
 
 Directions to those who comply with the above request. 
 
 Mark on the margin, and make a note on paper to be sent to the 
 Publisher, all words which are — 
 
 1 . Pronounced wrong. 
 
 2. Spelt wrong. 
 
 3. Defective meanings. 
 
 4. Omitted. 
 
 5. Not in common use (that in next edition they may be printed in 
 smaller type). 
 
 6. Very rai'e (that they may be put in smallest type). 
 
 Transmit these notes to the Publisher, with your name and residence, 
 that it may be known to whom he is indebted for them.

 The superiority of Walkers Pronouncino Dictionary over 
 other productions of the same kind has been so long established that 
 it would be superfluous to descant upon it. He brought to the 
 performance of his task a spirit of patient investigation, extensive 
 grammatical knowledge, and sound judgment. But in all works 
 relating to languages, however perfect they may originally be, 
 Time, that greatest of all innovators, will at length make reform 
 indispensable. It has consequently been found necessarj- to intro- 
 duce a few changes and additions in the present reprint of Walker's 
 Dictionary. New words and definitions have been added; defini- 
 tions which, by late scientific discoveries, are proved to be enoneous, 
 have been amended ; and, in some instances, where it had become 
 obsolete, the pronunciation has been rendered conformable to modern 
 usage. As in all books, but moie especially in a Dictionary, cor- 
 rectness is an object of paramount importance, the utmost care has 
 been taken to exclude t\T)ographical errors ; and it is believed that 
 the care has not been fruitlessly bestowed. On the cheapness, the 
 convenient size, and the elegant printing of this volume, it is 
 needless to say a word ; they are so obvious that they cannot fail to 
 be noticed even by superficial observers.

 TO THE PRESENT EDITION, 
 
 In the Edition of "Walker's Dictionary "whicli is now presented 
 to the public, it is hoped that a considerable improvement has, in 
 more than one respect, been effected. The work has been augmented 
 by the insertion of nearly five thousand words; many additions and 
 corrections have been made in the definitions; a holder and more 
 legible type, cast for the pui-pose, has been employed; and the utmost 
 care has been taken to render the volume perfectly free from typo- 
 graphical errors. The last point the Editor considers to be of the 
 utmost importance, especially in a Dictionary ; and he therefore 
 avails himself of this opportunity to state, that he is not responsible 
 for any misprint that may be found (if any there be) in the editions 
 of Walker which have appeared since 1831, the proof sheets of those 
 editions not having been submitted to his inspection.

 To these tnay be added certain combina- 
 tions of letters sometimes iisod in printing; 
 Rs IV, fl, fl, fli, ffl, and &, or end per se and, or 
 rather et per se and ; ff,fi,fi, ffi, ffl, and if. 
 
 Our letters, says Dr. Johnson, are com- 
 monly reckoned twenty-four, because an- 
 ciently • and j, as well as m and r, were 
 expressed by the same character ; but as 
 these letters, which had always different 
 powers, have now different forms, our alpha- 
 bi t may he properly said to consist of 
 twenty-six letters. 
 
 In considering the sounds of these first 
 principles of language, we find that some are 
 80 simple and unmixed, that there is nothing 
 requir<:d but the opening of the mouth to 
 
 make them understood, and to form different 
 sounds. Whence they have the names of 
 vowelt or vnirti »7 rocnl toundt. On the con- 
 trary, we find that there are others, whose 
 pronunciation depends on the particular ap- 
 plication and use of every part of the mouth, 
 as the teeth, the lips, the tongue, the palate, 
 &c., which yet cannot make any one perfect 
 •ound but by their union with those vocal 
 sounds : and these are called cnntonants, or 
 letters sounding with other letters. 
 
 Definition qf FmoeU and Consonanti. 
 
 Vowels are generally reckoned to be five 
 In number ; namely, a, e, i, o,u: y and w are 
 called vowels when they end a syllable or 
 word, and consonants when they be^in one. 
 
 The definition of a vowel, a3 little liable to 
 exception as any, seems to be the foUowinfc: 
 a vowel is a simple sound formed by a con- 
 tinued effusion of the breath, and a certain 
 conformation of the mouth, without any 
 alteration in the position, or any motion of 
 the organs of speech, from the moment the 
 vocal sound commences till it ends. 
 
 A consonant may be defined to be an inter- 
 ruption of the effusion of vocal sound, arising 
 from the application of the organs of speech 
 to each other. 
 
 Agreeably to this definition, vowels may be 
 divided into two kinds, the simple and com- 
 pound. The simple a, e, o, are those which 
 are formed by oneconformation of the organs 
 only; that is, the organs remain exactly in 
 the same position at the end ns at the begin- 
 ning of the letter ; whereas, in the compound 
 vowels I and u, the orfjaus alter their position 
 before the letter is completely sounded : nay, 
 these letters, when commencing a syllable, 
 do not only require a different position of the 
 organ, in order to form them perfectly, but 
 demand such an application of tlie tongue to 
 the roof of the mouth as isincnnsistcnt with 
 the nature of a pure vowel ; for the first of 
 these letters, ?, when sounded alone, or end- 
 ing a syllable with the accent upon it, is a 
 real diphthong, composed of the sounds of a 
 vafa-ther, and oi e in the, exactly correspoa- 
 
n 
 
 <lent to tlie sound of the -noivaei/e; and when 
 tins letter commences a syllable, as in mhi- 
 ion, pin-ion, &c., the sound of e with which 
 it terminates is squeezed into a consonant 
 sound, like the double e beard in queen, dif- 
 ferent Irom the simple sound of that letter 
 in quean, and this squeezed sound in the com- 
 mencing i makes it exactly similar to y iu 
 the same situation; which, by all sfamma- 
 rians, is acknowledged to be a consonant. 
 The lat ter of these compound vowels, K,w lien 
 initial, and not shortened by a consonant, 
 oomniences with this squeezcil sound ot e, 
 equivalent to the ?/, and ends with a sound 
 given to 00 in %coo aiid coo, which makes its 
 name in tlie alphabet exactly similar to the 
 pnmtmn you. If, therefore, the common de- 
 finition of a vowel be just, these two letters 
 are so far from being simple vowels, that 
 they may more properly be called semicon- 
 eonant diphth<m;cs. 
 
 That .V and w are consonants when they 
 bescin a word, and vowels when they end one, 
 is tcenerally acknowledged by the bp.^t frram- 
 marians; and yet Dr. Lowth has told us that 
 ui is equivalent to oo ; but, if this were the 
 case, it would always admit of the particle 
 an before it ; for, though we have no word 
 in the lang\iage wliich commences with these 
 letters, we plainly perceive tliat, if we had 
 such a wora, it would readily admit of an, 
 before it, and consequently that these letters 
 are not equivalent to w. Thus we find that 
 the common opinion, with respect to the 
 double capacity of tliese letters, is perfectly 
 just. 
 
 Besides the vowels already mentioned, 
 there is another simple vowel sound found 
 under the oo in the words jooo and coo; these 
 letters have in these two words every pro- 
 perty of a pure vowel, but when found in 
 food, nwod, &c., and in the word too, pro- 
 nounced like tlic adjective two: here the oo 
 has a squeezed soimd occasioned by con- 
 tracting the mouth, so as to make the lips 
 nearly touch each other: and this makes it, 
 like the t and u, not so much a double vov/el 
 as a sound between a vow el and a consonant. 
 
 Classijication of Voicels and Consonants. 
 
 Vowels and consonants being thus defined, 
 it will be necessary, in the next place, to 
 arrange them into such classes as their simi- 
 litudes and specific diit'erences seem to re- 
 quire. 
 
 Letters, therefore, are naturally divisible 
 into vowels and consonants. 
 
 The vo» els are, a, c, i, o, u and y and w 
 when ending a sylla'^le. 
 
 The consonants are, b, e, d, f, p, h, j, k, I, 
 m, n, p, q, r, a, t, v, x, z, and y and w when 
 beginning a syllable. 
 
 The vowels may be subdivided into such as 
 are simple and pure, and into such as are 
 compound and impure. The simple or pure 
 vowels are such as require only one confor- 
 mation of the organs to form them, and uo 
 motion in the organs while foru-jiiig. 
 
 The compound or impure vowels are such 
 as require more than one conformation of 
 the organs to form them, and a motion iu 
 the organs while forming. These obser- 
 \-'.tion» premised, we may call the followimj

 oeu manoeuvre. 
 
 Consonants enumerated and distinguished into 
 Classes. 
 
 The consonants are divisible into mutes, 
 semi-vowels, and liquids. 
 
 The mutes are such as emit no sound with- 
 out a vowel, as b, p, t, d, k, and c and g hard. 
 
 The semi-vowels are such as emit a scnnd 
 withotit the coiicurrence of a vowel, as/, v, 
 s, :, X, g soft or^". 
 
 The liquids are such as flow into, or tuiite 
 easily with the mutes, as I, m, n, r. 
 
 But, besides these, there is another classi- 
 fication of the consonants, of great import- 
 ance to a just idea of the natrre of the letters, 
 and that is, into such as are sharp or flat, 
 and simple or aspirated. 
 
 The sharp consonants are,p,/, t,s, k, c hard. 
 
 The flat consonants are, 6, r, d, z, g hard. 
 
 The simple consonants are those which 
 have always the sound of one letter unmixed 
 with others, as b, p, f, v, k, g hard, and g 
 soft, or j. 
 
 The mixed or aspirated consonants are 
 those which have sometimes a hiss or aspi- 
 ration joined with them, » hich mingles with 
 the letter, and alters its sound, as t in motion, 
 d in soldier, s in mission, and z in azure. 
 
 There is another distinction of consonants, 
 arising either from the seat of their forma- 
 tion, or front those organs wiiich are cliieflj' 
 emplojed in fonning them. The best dis- 
 tinction of this kind seems to be that whicti 
 divides them into labials, dentals, gutturals, 
 and nasals, 
 
 Tlie labials are b, p,f, v. The dentals are, 
 t, d, s, z, and soft g or j. The gutturals are, 
 k, q, c hard, and g hard. The nasals are, 
 ni, n, and ng. 
 
 These several properties of the eonsouants 
 may be exhibited at one v'ew in the follow- 
 ing table, which may be called 
 
Mut« labials

 nearly in a circular form, w inlf 1 1.( tf^i .1 r, 
 contraetinK itoell to the root, a« if to make 
 way for the sound, almost rests upon the 
 under jaw. 
 
 The Italian a, heard in fa-lhtr, clo«rs the 
 month a little more than the German n; 
 anil by raising the lower jaw, wideninK the 
 t<in;rii'e, and advancing it a little nearer to 
 tlie lips, renders its sound less hollow and 
 deep. 
 
 The slender a, or that heard in ?owe, is 
 formed in the mouth still hiRher than the 
 last ; and in pronovinrinif if the lips, as if to 
 ewe it a slender sound, dilate their aperture 
 horizontally; whilethe ton§rne, to as«ist this 
 narniw emission of breath, widens itself to 
 the cheek', raises itself nearer the palate, 
 and by these means a less hollow sonnd 
 than cither of the fomner is produced. 
 
 The e in e-qual is formed by dilating the 
 fonsue a little more, and advancing it nearer 
 to the palate and the lips, which produces 
 the slenderest vowel in the langiinpe ; lor the 
 tonsue is, in the formation of this letter, as 
 close t o t he palate as possible, without touch- 
 ing it ; as the momint the tongue touches 
 the palate, the squeezed sound of rr in thee 
 and meet is formed, which, by its description, 
 mu?tpartakeof the sound of the con sonant y. 
 
 The i in i-rtol is formed by iiiiitinK tiie 
 sound of the Italian a mfn-th'er and the ein 
 equal, and pronouncing them as closely to- 
 gether as possible. 
 
 Tlic o in o-pen is formed by nearly the same 
 position of the organs as the n in wa-fer; but 
 tlie tongue is advanced a little more into the 
 middle of the mouth, the lips are protruded, 
 and form a round aperture like the form of 
 the letter, and the voice is not so deep in the 
 mouth as when a is formed, but advances to 
 the middle or hollow of the mouth. 
 
 The « in u-vife is formed by uniting the 
 squeezed sound ee to a simple vowel sound, 
 be&rd in woo and coo; tlie 00 in these woi-ds 
 
 is fonred by protruding the lips a little more 
 than in o, forming a smaller aperture? with 
 them. and. instead of sT^elling the voice in 
 the '.. iriip f,f the mouth, bringing it as for- 
 wri- to the lips. 
 
 J 1= formed like i: and «• final 
 
 in 7. ..>.: ;..L 00, which has just been de- 
 Wrilxd. 
 
 In this Tirw of tbe organic formation of 
 t),f V -iris we find that a, r, and o, are the 
 le or pure vowels ; that i is a diph- 
 I thnt M is a semi-cnnsonsnt. If 
 nclined to contrive a scale for mca- 
 liuniiij the breadth or narrow-ness, or, an 
 other? term it, the openness or closeness of 
 the vowels ^e mizht begin vith f open, aa 
 Mr. Klphioston calls it, and which he an- 
 nounces 10 be the closest of all the vocal 
 pnwc*. inthr 1 rimmciaf ion of this letter 
 wr 1 tbe mouth extended 
 
 on ' almost elo«ed, and the 
 
 sfii ^ _ tally. The slender a 
 
 in v.akie optun tlie inoufli alittle wider. The 
 a in fa-ther opens the mouth still more 
 without contracting the comers. The Ger- 
 man n, henrd in wall, not only opens the 
 n.outb wider than theformern, out contracts 
 tbe comers of the mouth so as to make the 
 aperture approach nearer to a circle, while 
 the n opens tbe mouth still more, and con- 
 tracts tbe comers so as to make it the o» 
 rntundiim, a picture of the letter it sounds. 
 If tiicrefore the other vowels were, like n, to 
 take their forms from the aperture of the 
 mouth in pronouncing them, the German 
 a ougbt neceB«arily to have a figure as nearly 
 approaching the in form as it does in sound ; 
 that is, it ought to have that elliptical lorm 
 which approaches nearest to tbe cir(]e; as 
 the a of ihe Italianj.nnd that of the English 
 in /a-/Aer, ought to form oval*, in exact jiro- 
 portion to the breadth of their sounds; the 
 English a in waste ought to have a narrower 
 oval ; the f in the ought to have the cur.e of 
 a parabola, and the squersed sound 01 ee in 
 sern a right line; or, to redvce these lines to 
 solids, tbe o would be a perfect globe, the 
 German an oblate spheroid like the li..cure 
 of the earth, the Italian a like an egi:, the 
 English blender a a Dutch skittle, the c % 
 rolling-pin, and the double ea cylinder.

 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 Into, and then, by describing one, we shall 
 nearly describe its fellow ; by which means 
 the labour will be lessened, and the nature of 
 the consonants better perceived. The con- 
 vonants that fall into pairs arc the following : 
 
 p f t 8 sh th k ch — chair. 
 
 b V d z zh dh g j—jait. 
 
 Holder, who wrote the most elaborately 
 •and philosophically upon this subject, tills 
 us, in his Elements of Speech, tliatwhen we 
 Dnly whisper we cannot distinguish the first 
 rank of tliese letters from the second. It is 
 certain the difference betwern them is very 
 nice; the upjjer letters seeming to have only 
 a smarter, brisker, appulse of the organs than 
 the lower; which may not improperly be 
 distinguished by sharp and flat. The most 
 marking distinction between them will be 
 found to be a sort of Kuttural murmur, which 
 precedes the latter letters when we wish to 
 pronounce them forcibly, but not the former. 
 Thus if we close the lips, and put the finders 
 on them to keep them shut, and strive to 
 pnmounce the p, no sound at all will be 
 heard ; but in Btriving to pronounce the 6 
 we shall find a murmuring sound from the 
 throat, which seems the commencement of 
 tu^ letter; and if we do but stop the breath 
 by the appulse of the organs, in order to pro- 
 nounce with greater force, the same may be 
 observed of the rest of the letters. 
 
 This difference Lu the formation of these 
 consonants may be more distinctly perceived 
 in thesandzthan inany otherof the letters; 
 the former is sounded by the simple issue of 
 the breath between the teeth, without any 
 vibration of it in tlie throat, and may be called 
 A hissing sound; while the latter cannot be 
 formed without generating a sound in the 
 throat, which may be called a vocal sound. 
 The upper rank of letters, therefore, may be 
 called breathing consonants ; and the lower 
 vocal ones. 
 
 These observations premised, we may pro- 
 ceed to describe the organic formation of 
 each letter. 
 
 P and B are formed by closing the lips till 
 t he breath is collected, and then letting it 
 issue by forming the vowel e. 
 
 F and V are formed by pressing the upper 
 teeth upon the under lip, and sounding the 
 vowel eoefore the former and after the latter 
 of these letters. 
 
 T and D are formed by pressing the tip of 
 the tongue to the gums of the upper teeth, 
 and then separating them, by pronouncing 
 the vowel e. 
 
 S and Z are formed by placing the tongue 
 in the same position as in T and D, but not 
 so close to the gums as to stop the breath, a 
 space is left between the tongue and the 
 palate for the breath to issue, which forms 
 the hissing and buzzing sound of these 
 letters. 
 
 SH heard in mission, and zh in evasion, are 
 formed in the same seat of sound as s and z; 
 but in the former the tongue is drawn a little 
 inwards, and at a somewhat greater distance 
 from the palate, which occasions a fuller 
 egnsion of breath from the hollow of the 
 mouth than in the latter, which are formed 
 nearer to the teeth. 
 
 TH in think, and the same letters in that, 
 are formed by protruding the tongue between 
 
 the fore teeth, pressing it against the uppef j 
 te«th, and at the same time endeavouring tc ■ 
 sound « orr; the former letter to sound thin 
 think, and the latter to sound th in that. 
 
 K and G hard are formed by pressing the 
 middle of the tongue to the roof of the mouth 
 near the throat, and separating them a little 
 smartly to form the first, and more gently to 
 form the last, of these letters. 
 
 CH in chair, and J in jail, are formed by 
 pressing t to sh, and d to zh. 
 
 M is formed by closing the lips, as in P and 
 B, and letting the voice issue by the nose. 
 
 A" is formed by resting the tongue in the 
 same position as in T or D, and breathing 
 through the nose, with the mouth open. 
 
 L is formed by nearly the same position of 
 the organs as t and d, but more with the tip 
 of the tongue, which is brought a little for- 
 warder to the teeth, while the breath issues 
 from the mouth. 
 
 R is formed by placing the tongue nearly 
 in the position of^ t, b\it at such a distance 
 from the palate as suffers it to jar against it 
 when the breath is propelled from the throat 
 to the mouth. 
 
 iVG in ring, sinp, &c. is formed in the same 
 seat of sound as hard g, but while the middle 
 of the tongue presses the roof of the mouth, 
 as in G, the voice passes principally through 
 the nose, as in N. 
 
 Y consonant is formed by placing the or- 
 gans in the position of*, ancl squeezing the 
 tongue against the roof of the mouth, which 
 produces ee, which is equivalent to initial y. 
 
 }Y consonant is formed by j)lacing the 
 organs in the position of oo, described under 
 ti, and closing the lips a little more, in order 
 to propel the breath upon the succeeding 
 vowel which it articulates. 
 
 In this sketch of the formation and distri- 
 bution of the consonants, it is curious to 
 observe on how few radical principles the 
 almost infinite variety of combination in lan- 
 guage depends. It is with some degree of 
 wonder we perceive that the slightest aspi- 
 ration, the almost insensible inflexion of 
 nearly similar sounds, often generate the 
 most different and opposite meanings. In 
 this view of nature, as in every other, we find 
 uniformity and variety very conspicuous. 
 The single fiat, at first impressed on the 
 chaos, seems to operate on languages ; wbicn, 
 from the simplicity and paucity of their 
 principles, and the extent and power of their 
 combinations, prove the goodness, wisdom, 
 and omnipotence of their origin. 
 
 This analogical association of sounds is not 
 only curious, but useful : it gives us a com- 
 prehensive view of the powers of the letters, 
 and, from the small number that are radically 
 different, enables us to see the rules on which 
 their varieties depend: it discovers to us the 
 genius and propensities of several languages 
 and dialects, and, when authority is silent, 
 enables us to decide agreeably to analogy. 
 
 Of the Qunntitif and Qualify of the VoieeU. 
 
 The first distinction of sound that seems 
 to obtrude itself upon us when we utter the 
 vowels is a long and short sound, according 
 to the greater or less duration of time taken 
 up in pronouncing them. This distinction is 
 so obvious as to have been adopted in all

 to confound Ion? and open, and clo«e and

 vowels either terminate a syllable or are 
 nnited with a consonant. In the first ca»e, 
 if the accent he on the "yllahle, the vowel is ' 
 long, though it may r.ot be open: in the |

 hy a con«oTiant, except that consonant he r, 
 whether the accent he on the syllable or not, 
 the vowel has its short snntid, which, com- 
 pared with its lon^ one, may he called shnt: 
 nut as no vowel can be said to be shut that 
 is not joined to a consonant, all vowels that 
 end syllables may be said to he open, whe- 
 ther the accent he on them or not.

 It may be first obserred, that the crcrtion 
 of the organs of speech neceor-ary to produce 
 the accent, or stre's, has an obvious tendency 
 to preserve the Ipfters in their pure and uni- 
 form Sfiund, while the relaxation or fcrble- 
 npss which succeeds the accent as naturally 
 suffers the letters to slide into a somewhat 
 different sound, a little easier to the organs 
 of pronunoalifin. Thus the first a in cahhnpe 
 is pronounced di'tir.ctly with the true sound 
 of thst letter, while thexeeondn goes into an 
 oh«cure sound bordering on the » short, the 
 slenderest of all sound* ; so that enhDnge and 
 rj/ta/jehave the ain the last syllable scarcely 
 distinsruishahle from the e and i in the last 
 syllable of rolUge and vestige. 
 
 In the same manner, the a, e, i, o, and y, 
 coining before r in a final unaccented syl- 
 lable, go into an obscure sound so nearly 
 approaching to the short u, that if the accent 
 were carefully kept upon the first syllables 
 of linr. Her, elixir, mayor, martyr, &c. thoe 
 words, without any perccntible change in 
 the sound of their last syllables, might all 
 be ■written and pronounced liur, liur, elixur, 
 mnyur, martvr, &c. 
 
 The consonants aUo are no less altered in 
 their sound by the position of the accent than 
 the vowels. The « and # in the composition 
 of X, when the accent is on them, in ererrine, 
 execute, He. preserve theirstrong pure sound ; 
 but when the accent is. on ihp second syl- 
 lahie, in exact, exonerate, &c. these letters

INTRODUCTION. 
 
 sliae into the duller and weaker sounds of g 
 aud 2, which are easier to the organs of pro- 
 nunciation. Hence not only the soft c and 
 the s go into sh, but even the t before a diph- 
 thong slides into the same letters when the 
 stress is on the preceding syllable. Thus in 
 Mciety and satiety the c and t preserve their 
 pure sound, because the syllaoles ci and ti 
 have the accent on them; but m social and 
 satiate these syllables come alter the stress, 
 and, from thefeebleners of their situation, 
 naturally fall into tiie shorter and easier 
 sound, as if wiitten soshial and sashiate. 
 
 0/ the Nature of Accent. 
 
 Accent, in its very nature, implies a com- 
 parison with other syllables less forcible; 
 hence we may conclude that monosyllables, 
 proi)erly speaking, have no accent; when 
 t hey are com bined with other monosyllables, 
 and form a phrase, the stress which is laid 
 upon one, in preference to others, is called 
 emphasis. As emphasis evidently points out 
 the most significant word in a sentence, so, 
 where other reasons do not forbid, the accent 
 always dwells with greatest force on that 
 part of the word which, from its importance, 
 the hearer has always the greatest occasion 
 to observe; and this is necessarily the root 
 or body of the word. But as harmony of 
 termination frequently attracts the accent 
 from the root to the branches of %\ords, so 
 the first and most natural law of accentua- 
 tion seems to operate les.; in fixing the stress 
 than any of the other. Our own Saxon ter- 
 minations, indeed, with perfect uniformity, 
 leave the principal part of the word in quiet 
 possession of what seems its lawful property ; 
 but Latin and Greek tenninations, of which 
 our language is full, assume a right of pre- 
 serving their original accent, and subjecting 
 many of the words they bestow upon us to 
 their own classical laws. 
 
 Accent, therefore, seems to be regulated, 
 in a great measure, by etymology. In words 
 from the Saxon the accent is generally on 
 the root ; in words from tlie learned lan- 
 guages it is generally on the termination; 
 and if to these we add the different accent 
 we lay on some words, to distinguish them 
 from others, we seem to have the three j^reat 
 principles of accentuation ; namely, the ra- 
 dical, the terminational, and the distinctive. 
 
 Radical AccdU. — As our language borrows 
 so largely from the learned languages, it is 
 not wonderful that its pronunciation should 
 be in some measure influenced by them. The 
 rule for placing the Greek accent was, in- 
 deed, essentially different from that of the 
 Latin ; but words from the Greek, coming to 
 us through the Latin, are often so much 
 latinized as to lose their original accent, and 
 to fall into that of the Latin; and it is the 
 Latin accent which we must chiefly regard 
 as that wliich influences our own. 
 
 The first general rule that may be laid 
 down is, that when words come to us whole 
 from the Greek or Latin, th« same accent 
 ought to be preserved as in the original : thus 
 horizon, sonorous, decorum, dictator, gladiator, 
 mediator, delator, spectator, adulator, &c. pre- 
 serve the penultimate accent of the original ; 
 and yet the antepenultimate tendency of our 
 language has placed the accent ou the first 
 
 syllable of orator, senator, auditor, cicatrta, 
 plethora, &c. in opposition to the Latin pro- 
 nunciation of these words, and would have 
 infallibly done the same by abdomen, bitumen, 
 and acumen, if the learned had not stepped 
 in, to rescue these classical words from the 
 invasion of the Gothic accent, and to pre- 
 serve the stress inviolably on the second 
 syllable; nor has even the interposition of 
 two consonants been always able to keep the 
 accent from mounting up to the antepenul- 
 timate syllable, as we may see in minister, 
 sinister, character, &c. : and this may be said 
 to be the favourite accent of our language. 
 
 But, notwithstanding this prevalence of 
 the antepenultimate accent, the general rule 
 still holds good; and more particularly in 
 words a little removed from common usage, 
 such as terms in the arts and sciences: these 
 are generally of Greek original ; but, coming 
 to us through the Latin, most commonly 
 contract the Latin accent when adopted into 
 our language. 
 
 Terminational Accent. — To form an idea of 
 the influence of termination upon accent, it 
 will be sufBcient to observe, that words which 
 have ei, ia, ie. io, eou, in their termination, 
 always have the accent on the preceding syl- 
 lable; thus atheist, alien, regalia, ambrosia, 
 (Jtc, the numerous terminations in ion, ian, 
 &.C., as gradation, promotion, confusion, logi- 
 cian, physician, &c., those in ious, as har- 
 monious, abstemious, &c., those in eous, as 
 outrageous, advantageoxis, &c. These may 
 not improperly be styled semi-consonant 
 diphthongs. 
 
 The only exceptions to this rule are one 
 word in iac, as elegiac, which has the accent 
 on the i, and the following words in iacal, as 
 prosodiacal, cardiacal, heliacal, genethliacal, 
 maniacal, demoniacal, ammoniacal, thcriacal, 
 paradisiacal, aphrodisiacal, and hypochondri- 
 acal; all which have the acceut on the ante- 
 penultimate J, and that long and open, as in 
 idle, title. Sic. 
 
 Nothing can be more uniform than the 
 position of the accent in words of these ter- 
 minations; and, with very few exceptions, 
 the quantity of the accented vowel is as re- 
 gular as the accent; for when these termina- 
 tions are preceded by a single consonant, 
 every accented vowel is long, except i, which 
 in this situation, is as utiitormly short. 
 
 Enctitical Accent. — I have ventured to give 
 the name of enclitical to the acceut of certain 
 words, whose terminations are formed of 
 such words as seem to lose their own accent, 
 and throw it back on the last syllable of the 
 word with which they coalesce, such as the- 
 ology, orthography, &c. The readiness with 
 which these words take the antepenultimate 
 accent, the agreeable flow of sound to the 
 ear, and the unity it preserves in the sense, 
 are sufficient proofs of the propriety of plac- 
 ing the accent on this syllable, if custom 
 were ambiguous. 
 
 Secondary Accent. — Hitherto vre have con- 
 sidered that accent only which necessarily 
 distinguishes one syllable in a word from the 
 rest ; and which, with very little diversity, ia 
 adopted by all who speak the English lan- 
 guage. 
 
 The secondary accent is that stress we may ^ 
 occasionally place upon another syllable, be- 
 sides that which has the pruicipal accent, in

 xi 
 
 order to prononnce CTcry part of the word 
 more distinctly, forcibly, and harmoniously. 
 Thus thin accent may be placed on the 
 first syllable of conversation, commendation, 
 
 Quantify.— In treatine this part of pronun- 
 ciation, it will not be necessary to enter into 
 the nature of that quantity which constitutes 
 poetry; the quantity here considered will be 
 that which lelatcs to words taken sinifly ; 
 and this is notbine more than the length or 
 sliortness of the vowel'', either as they stand 
 alone, or as they are diflfercntlf combined 
 with vowels or consonants. 
 
 Syllabication. — Dividing words into sylla- 
 bles is a very different operation, according 
 to the different ends proposed by it. The 
 object of syllabication mav be, either to en- 
 able children to discover the sound of words 
 they are unacquainted with, or to show the 
 etymolo^- of a word, or to exhibit the exact 
 pronunciation of it. 
 
 Wbenacliild has made certain advances in 
 reading, but is ipnorant of the sound of many 
 of the longer words, it may not be improper 
 to lay down the common general rule to him, 
 that a consonant between two vowels must 
 go to the latter; and that two consonants 
 coming together must be divided. Farther 
 than this it would be absurd to go with a 
 child ; for telling him that compounds must 
 be divided into their simples, and that such 
 consonamts as may begin a word may begin 
 a syllable, requires a jirevious knowledge of 
 words, which children cannot be supposed to 
 have: and which, if they have, makes the 
 division of words into syliables unnecessary. 
 
 Children, therefore, may be very usefully 
 taught the general rule above mentioned, as. 
 in many cases, it will lead them to the exact 
 sound of the word, as in fro-ri-ded ; and in 
 others it will enable them to give a gooil 
 guess at it, as in de-li-cnte; and this is all 
 that can be expected; for when we are to 
 form an unknown compound sound out of 
 several known simple sounds (which is the 
 case with children, when we wish them to 
 find out the sound of a word by sjielling it ), 
 this, I say, is the only method that can be 
 taken. 
 
 But an etymological division of words is a 
 different operation: it is the division of a 
 person acquainted with the whole word, and 
 who wishes to convey, by this division, a 
 knowledge of its constituent parts, as ortho- 
 graphy, theo-lopy, &c. 
 
 In the same manner, a person who is pre- 
 acquainred with the whole compound sound 
 of a word, and wants to convey the sound of 
 each part to one unacquainted with it, must 
 divide it into such partial sounds as, when 
 put together again, will exactly form the 
 whole, as or-thng-ra-phy, ihe-olo-gy, &c. 
 This is the method adopted by those wluj 
 would convey the whole sound, by giving 
 distinctly every part; and, when this is the 
 object of syllabication, Dr. I/owth's rule is 
 certainly to be followed. "The best and 
 easiest rule," says the learned bishop, " for 
 dividing the syllables in spelling, is to divide 
 them as they are naturally divided in a right 
 pronunciation, without regard to the deriva- 
 tion of words, or the possible combination of 
 consonants at the beginning of a syllable." 
 
 RULES TO BE OBSERVED BY NATIVES OF IRELAND, 
 
 IN ORDER TO OBTAIN A JtTST PRONDNCIATION OF ENGLISH. 
 
 As Mr. Sheridan was a native of Ireland, 
 and had the best opportunities of under- 
 standing those peculiarities ol pronunciation 
 which obtain there, I shall extract his obser- 
 vations on that subject as the best general 
 direction, and add a few of my own, by way 
 of supplement, which I hopevi'ill render this 
 article of instruction still more complete. 
 
 The reader will be pleased to take notice, 
 that as I have made a different arrangement 
 of the vowels, and adopted a notation dif- 
 ferent from that of Mr. Sheridan, I am 
 obliged to make use of different figures to 
 mark the vowels, but still such as perfectly 
 correspond to his. 
 
 "The chief mistakes made by the Irish in 
 pronouncing English, lie for the most part 
 in the sounds of the two first vowels, a and 
 e: the former being generally sounded i by 
 the Irish, as in the word bar, in most words 
 where it is pronounced i, as in diy, hy the 
 English, Thus the Irish say, patron, mStron, 
 the vowel I having the same sound as in the 
 word father; while the English pronounce 
 them as if written paytron, maylron. The fol- 
 lowing rule strictly attended to, will rectify 
 this mistake through the whole language. 
 
 "When the vowel a finishes a syllable, and 
 has the accent on it, it is invariably pro- 
 nounced i, as in dav, by the English. To 
 this rule there are but three exceptions in 
 the whole language, to be found in the 
 words fsther, papi, mammS. The Irish may 
 think also the word rnthfr an exception, as 
 well A9. father : and so it would appear to be 
 in their manner of pronouncing it, rJther, 
 laying the accent on the vowel a ; but in 
 the English pronunciation, the consonant 
 th is taken into the first syllable, as rath'-er, 
 which makes the difference. 
 
 "Whenever a consonant follows the vowel 
 a in the same syllable, and the accent is on 
 the consonant, the vowel a has always iis 
 fourth sound, as hat, min ; as also the same 
 sound lengthened when it precedesthe letter 
 r, as far, bar. though the accent be on tlie 
 vowel ; as likewise when it precedes Im, as 
 balm, psilm. The Irish, ignorant of this 
 latter exception, pronounce all words of 
 that structure as if they were WTitten baivm, 
 pf^nwm, qvawm, cawn,kQ. In the third sound 
 of (1, marked by different combinations of 
 vowels or consonants, such as nw, in Paul, 
 air, in law; all,\n call; aid, iu bald, nlk io 
 
talk, &c; the Irish make no mistake, except 
 iu that of Im, as before mentioned. 
 
 "The second vowel, e, is for the most 
 part sounded ee by the En^'lish, when the 
 accent is ujion it ; whilst the Irish in most 
 words Rive it the sound of slender k, as in 
 hate. The sound of e [ee] is marlied by dif- 
 ferent combinations of vowels, such as ea, 
 ei, e final mute, ee, and je. In the two last 
 combinations of ee and ie, the Irish never 
 mistake; such as in meet, seem, field, believe, 
 &c.; but in all the others, they almost uni- 
 versally chanse the sound of u into a. Thus, 
 ill the combination ea, tliey pronounce the 
 words tea, sea, please, as if tbey were spelled 
 tai/, say, plays; instead of tee, see, pleese. 
 Tlie English constantly give this sound to 
 ea Virlienever the accent is on the vowel e, 
 except in the following words ; great, a. pear, 
 a bear, to bear, to forbear, to swear, to tear, 
 to wear. In all which the e has the sound 
 of 4 in bite. For want of knowing these 
 exceptions, the gentlemen of Ireland, after 
 some time of residence in London, are apt 
 to fall into the general rule, and pronounce 
 these words as if spelt greet, beer, sweer, Ike. 
 
 " Ei is also sounded ee by the English, and 
 as i by the Irish ; thus, the words iXcceit, 
 rcceii'e,are pronounced by them as if written 
 desafe, resale. Ei is always sounded ee, ex- 
 cept when a g follows it, as in the words 
 rfign, feign, deign, &c., as also in tlie word 
 rein (of a bridle), rein-deer, vein, drein, veil, 
 heir, which are pronounced like rain, vain, 
 ilrain, vail, air. 
 
 " The final mute e makes the precedinsf e 
 in the same syllable, when accented, have 
 the sound of ee, as in the words supreme, 
 sincere, replete. Tbis rule is almost uni- 
 versally broken through by the Irish, who 
 pronounce all such words as if written su- 
 preme, sinsare, replite, &c. There are but 
 two exceptions to this rule in the English 
 pronunciation, which are the words there, 
 where. 
 
 " In the way of marking this sound, by a 
 double e, as thus [ee], as the Irish never 
 make any mistakes, the best metliod for all 
 who want to acquire the right pronuncia- 
 tion of these several combinations is, to 
 suppose that ea, ei, and e, attended by a final 
 mute e, are all spelled with a double e. 
 
 " Ey is always sounded like a by the En- 
 glish, when the accent is upon it; as in the 
 words prey, convey, pronounced 2^foy, convay. 
 To this there are but two exceptions, in the 
 words key and ley, sounded kee, lee. The 
 Irish, in attempting to pronounce like the 
 English, often give the same sound to ey, as 
 usually belongs to ei; thus, for prey, convey, 
 they say, pree, convee. 
 
 "A strict observation of these few rules, 
 with a due attention to the very few excep- 
 tions enumerated above, will enable the well 
 educated natives of Ireland to pronounce 
 their words exactly in the same way as the 
 more polished part of the inhabitants of 
 England do, so far as the vowels are con- 
 cerned. The diphthongs they commit no 
 fault in, except in the sound of 1, which has 
 been already taken notice of in the Gram- 
 mar-,* where, likewise, the only difference

 in pronouncing any of the consonants has 
 been pointed out; whicli is, the thickening

 and an easy method proposed of correcting 
 this habit.t 
 
 "In order to complete the whole, I shall 
 now give a list of such detached words as do 
 not come under any of the above rules, and

 out ; the Irish pronouncing it much in the 
 same manner as the French." 
 
 t " The letter d has always the same 
 sound by those who pronoimce English 
 well ; but the provincials, particularly the 
 Irish, Scotch, and Welsh, in many words 
 thicken the sound by a mixture of breath. 
 Thus, though they sound the d right in the 
 positive loud and broad, in the comparative 
 degree they thicken it by an aspiration, 
 and sound it as if it were written loudher, 
 broadher. This vicious pronunciation is pro- 
 duced by pushing the tongue forward so as 
 to touch the teeth in fonning that sound: 
 and the way to cure it is easy ; for as they 
 can pronounce the d properly in the word 
 loud, let them rest a little upon that syllable, 
 keeping the tongue in the position of form- 
 ing d, and then let them separate it from the 
 upper gum without pushing it forward, and 
 tlie sound der will be produced of course: 
 for the organ being left in the position of 
 sounding d at the end of the syllable loud, is 
 necessarily in the position of forming the 
 same d in uttering the last syllable, unless 
 it makes a new movement, as in the case of 
 protruding it so as to touch the teeth. This 
 letter is sometimes, though not often, quies- 
 cent, as in the words handkerchief , handsome, 
 handsel. 
 
 "In pronouncing the letter t, the Irish 
 and other provincials thicken the sound, as 
 was before mentioned with regard to the rt; 
 for better, they say betther; for utter,utther; 
 and so on in all words of that structure. This 
 faulty manner arises from the same cause 
 that was mentioned as affecting the sound 
 of d; I mean the protruding of the tongue 
 so as to touch tlie teeth, and is curable only 
 in the same way.

 "These, after the closest attentinn, are 
 all the words, not included in the rules be- 
 fore laid down, that I have been able to 
 collpct, in wliich the well-edueated natives 
 of Ireland differ from those of Kngland." 
 
 1 shall make no observations on the ac- 
 curacy of tills list, but desire my reader to 
 obvrrve, that the slroiiijpRt characteristics 
 of the proniinciation of IrelRud is the rough 
 jarring pronunciation of the letter B, and 
 the aspiration or rough breathing before all 
 the accented vowels. (For the true sound of 
 R, see the subjoined note'). And for the 
 
 • There is a distinction in the sound of 
 this letter, scarcely ever noticed by any of 
 our wTiters on the "subject, which is, in my 
 opinion, of no small importance; and that 
 is, the rough and smooth r. Ben Jonson, in 
 his Grammar, says it is sounded firm in the 
 beginning of words, and more liquid in the 
 middle and ends, as in rarer, riper; and so 
 in the Latin. The rough r is formed by jar- 
 
 rough breathin-: or aspiration of the vowels, 
 the pupil should be told not to brins; tee 
 voice suddenly from the breast, but to speak, 
 as it were, from the mouth only. 
 
 It may be observed too, that thenatives of 
 Ireland pronounce rm at the end of a word 
 so distinctly as to form two separate syl- 
 lables. Thus Ktorm and farm seem sounded 
 by them as if written "afaio-rum, fa rum; 
 while the English sound the r so soft and 
 so close to the to, that it seems pronounced 
 nearly as if written stairm.faam. 
 
 Nearly the same observations are appli- 
 cable to Im. ^\■ben these letters end a word, 
 they are, in Ireland, pronounced at such a 
 distance, that helm and realm sound as if 
 written hel urn and rel-um; but in England 
 the / and m are pronounced as close as pos- 
 sible, and so as to form but one syllable. To 
 remedy this, it will be necessary forthe pupil 
 to make a collection of words terminating 
 with these consonants, and to practise them 
 over till a true pronunciation is acquired. 
 
 ring the tip of the tongue against the roof of 
 the mouth near the lore teeth: the smooth r 
 I is e vibration of the lower part of the tongue 
 near the root, against the inward region of 
 the palat«, near the entrance of the throat. 
 This latter r is that which marks the pro- 
 nunciation of England, and the former that 
 of Ireland. In England, and particularly in 
 London, the r in lard, hard, card, regard, fie, 
 is prononnced so much in the throat as to 
 be little more than the middle or Italian a, 
 lengthened into Itmd, band, caad, rer/aad; 
 while in Ireland the r, in these words, is 
 pronounced with so strong a jar of the 
 tongue against the tore part of the palate, 
 and accompanied with such an aspiration, 
 or strong breathing, at the beginning of 
 the letter, as to produce that harshness 
 we call the Irish accent. But if this letter 
 is too forcibly pronounced in Ireland, it is 
 often too feebly sounded in England, and 
 particularly in London, where it is some- 
 times entirely sunk ; and it may, perhaps, 
 be worthy of observation, that, provided we 
 avoid a too forcible pronunciation of the r, 
 when it ends a word, or is followed by a eon- 
 sonant in the same syllable, we may give as 
 much force as we please to this letter, at the 
 beginning of a word, without producing any 
 harshness to the ear: thus, Rome, river, raae, 
 may have the r as forcible as in Ireland ; 
 hut bar, bard, card, hard, &c., must have it 
 nearly as in London. 
 
 RULES TO BE OBSERVED BY NATIVES OF SCOTLAND, 
 
 FOR ATTAINING A JUST PRONUNCIATION OF ENGLISH. 
 
 That pronunciation which distinguishes 
 the inhabitants of Scotland is of a very 
 different kind from that of Ireland, and may 
 be divided into the quantity, qnalitv, anil 
 accentuation of the vowels. With respect 
 to quantity, it may he ohsoncd, that the 
 Scotch pronounce almost all their accented 
 
 vowels long. Thus, if I mistake not, they 
 would pronounce habit, hay-bit; tepid, tee- 
 pid; sinner, see-ner ; conscious, cnne-shus ; and 
 subject, sonb-ject;* it is not pretended, how- 
 
 • That this is the general mode of pro- 
 nouncing these words in Scotland, is indis- 
 62 
 
XIV 
 
 ever, that every accented vowel is so pro- 
 nounced, but that such a pronunciation is 
 very general, and particularly of the i. This 
 vowel is short in English pronunciation, 
 where the other vowels are long; thus eva- 
 sion, adhesion, emotion, confusion, have the a, 
 e, 0, and u, long; and in these instances the 
 Scotch would pronounce them like the En- 
 glish ; but in vision, decision, &c., where the 
 English pronounce the i short, the Scotch 
 lengthen this letter by pronouncing it like 
 ee, as if the words were written vee-sion, de- 
 cee-sion, &c. : and this peculiarity is universal. 
 The best way, therefore, to correct this, will 
 be to make a collection of the most usual 
 words which have the vowel short, and to 
 pronounce them daily till a habit is formed. 
 With respect to the quality of the vowels, 
 it may be observed that the inhabitants of 
 Scotland are apt to pronounce the a like aw, 
 where the English give it the slender sound: 
 thus Satan is pronounced Sawtan, ani fatal, 
 fawtal. It may be remarked too, that the 
 Scotch give this sound to the a preceded by 
 w, according to the general rule, without 
 attending to the exceptions; and thus, in- 
 stead of making wax, waft, and twang, rhyme 
 with tax, shaft, and hang, they pronounce 
 them so as to rhyme with box, soft, anAsong. 
 The short e in bed, fed, red, &c., borders too 
 much upon the English sound of a in bad, 
 lad, mad, &C. ; and the short i in bid, lid, rid, 
 too much on the English sound of e in bed, 
 led, red. To correct this error, it would be 
 useful to collect the long and short sounds of 
 these vowels, and to pronounce the long ones 
 first, and to shorten them by degrees till 
 they are perfectly short ; at the same time 
 preserving the radical sound of the vowel in 
 both. Ttius the correspondent long sounds 
 to the e in bed, fed, red, are bade, fade, rade; 
 and that of the short i in bid, lid, rid, are 
 bead, lead, reed; and the former of these 
 
 putable : and it is highly probable that the 
 Scotch have preserved the old English pro- 
 nunciation, from which the English them- 
 selves have insensibly departed. Dr. Hickes 
 observed long ago, that the Scots Saxonised 
 in their language much more than the En- 
 glish ; and it is scarcely to be doubted that 
 a situation nearer to the Continent, and a 
 greater commercial intercourse with other 
 nations, made the English admit of number- 
 less changes which never extended to Scot- 
 land. About the reign of Queen Elizabeth, 
 when the Greek and Latin languages were 
 cultivated, and the pedantry of showing an 
 acquaintance with them became fashionable, 
 it is not improbable that an alteration in the 
 quantity of many words took place: for, as 
 in Latin, almost every vowel before a single 
 consonant is short, so in English almost 
 every vowel in the same situation was sup- 
 posed to be long, or our ancestors would 
 not have doubled the consonant in the parti- 
 ciples of verbs, to prevent the preceding 
 vowel from lengthening. But when once 
 this affectation of Latinity was adopted, it 
 is no wonder it should extend beyond its 
 Vriiiciples, and shorten several vowels in En- 
 glish, because they were short in the original 
 Latin ; and in this manner, perhaps, might 
 the diversity between the quantity of the 
 English and the Scotch pronunciation arise. 
 
 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 classes vi'ill naturally lead the ear to the 
 true sound of the latter, the only difference 
 lying in the quantity. The short o in not, 
 lodge, got, &c. is apt to slide into the short u, 
 as if the words were WTitten nut, ludge, ijnt, 
 &c. To rectify this, it siiouid be remem- 
 bered, that this is the short sound of aw, 
 and ought to have the radical sound of the 
 deep a in ball. Thus the radical sound cor- 
 responding to the o in not, cot, sot, is found 
 in naught, caught, sought, &c.; and these 
 long sounds, like the former, should be ab- 
 breviated into the short ones. But what 
 will tend greatly to clear the difficulty will 
 be, to remember that only those words \\ hich 
 are collected in the note below * have the o 
 sounded like short u when the accent is upon 
 it ; and with respect to u in bull, full, pull, &c., 
 it may be observed, that the pronunciation 
 peculiar to the English is only found in the 
 words enumerated in the note.t 
 
 In addition to what has been said, it may 
 be observed, that oo in food, mood, soon, iiic., 
 which ought always to have a long sound, 
 is generally shortened in Scotland to timt 
 middle sound of the u in bull: and it must 
 be remembered, that wool, wood, good, hood, 
 stood, foot, are the only words where this 
 sound of 00 ought to take place. 
 
 The accentuation, both in Scotland and 
 Ireland (if by accentuation we mean the 
 stress, and not the kind of stress) , is so much 
 the same as that of England, that I cannot 
 recollect many words in which they ditfer. 
 Indeed, if it were not so, the versification of 
 each country would be different; for as En- 
 glish verse is formed by accent or stress, if 
 this accent or stress were upon different syl- 
 lables in different countries, what is verse in 
 England would not be verse in Scotland or 
 Ireland- and this sufficiently shows how 
 very indefinitely the word accent is gene- 
 rally used. 
 
 Mr. Elphinston, who must be allowed to 
 be a competent judge in this case, tells us, 
 that in Scotland they pronounce silence, bids, 
 canvds, sentence, triumph, comfdrt, soldce, con- 
 strue, rescue, respite, govirn, harass, ransack, 
 cancil, with the accent on the last syllable 
 instead of the first. To this list may be added 
 the word menace, which they pronounce as 
 if written mendss ; and though they place the

 nrcent on the last gj-llahip of canal, like the 
 KiiKlish, thpy broaden ilip a in the last syl- 
 lable, ft» if the word were spelled canaicl. It 
 may be farther obscrvr-d, that tbey place an 
 accent on the comparative adverb a*, in the 
 phrase* tw much, a* httl*, a» manp, at great, 
 ic, while the Englifh, except in Bomc very 
 particular emnhatical cayes, lay no Rtre^s 
 on this word, but pronounce these phrapes 
 like words of t» o or three syllables without 
 any accent on the first. 
 
 But, besides the mispronunciation of linfcle 
 words, there is a tone of voice «ith which 
 these words are accompanied, that distin- 
 jruif'hes a native of Ireland or Scotland as 
 much as an improper sound of the letters. 
 This is vulgarly, and (if it dofs not mean 
 stress only, hut the kind of stress), I think, 
 not improperly, called the a'^cent.* For 
 tbouKh there is an asperitj- in the Irish dia- 
 lect, and a drawl in the Scotch, independent 
 of the slides or inflections they make use of, 
 yet it may with confidence be affirmed, that 
 mtich of the peculiarity which di'tinguisheg 
 •ticse dialects maj- be reduced tf> a predomi- 
 nant use of one ot tliefc slides. !>et any one 
 who has sufficiently studied the speaking 
 voice to distinKuii'h the slides obsene the 
 j)r()nimciation of an Irishman and a Scotch- 
 tnan, who have much of the dialect of ihe.r 
 country, and he will find that the former 
 ahoiinds with the falling, and the latter with 
 the rising inflection ;t and if this be the case, 
 a teacher, if he understands these slides, 
 ouRht to direct hi? instnicticn so as to re- 
 medy the imperfection. But as avoiding the 
 wrong, and seizing the right at the same in- 
 •tant, is perhaps too great a task for human 
 powers, I would advise a native of Ireland, 
 who has much of the accent, to pronounce 
 almost all his words, and end all his sen- 
 tences with the rising slide; and a Scotch- 
 man, in the samt-manncr, to use the falling 
 Inflection: this will, in some measure, coun- 
 ter.ict the natural propensity, and bids lairer 
 for bringing the pupil to that nearly equal 
 mixture of both slides which distinguishes 
 the English speaker, than endeavouring at 
 first to catch tne agreeable variety. For this 
 purpose the teacher ou?ht to pronounce all 
 the single words in the lesson with the 
 falling inflection to a Scotchman, and with 
 the rising to an Irishman ; and snould fre- 
 quently give the pauses in a sentence the 
 »ame inflections to each of these pupils, 
 where he would vary them to a native of 
 England. But while the human voice re- 
 mains unstudied there is little expectation 
 that this distinction of the slides should be 
 apnlied to these useful purposes. 
 
 Besides a peculiarity of inflection, which 
 I take to be a falling circumflex, airectly 
 opposite to that of the Scotch, the AVelsh 
 pronounce the sharp consonants and aspira- 
 tions instead of the flat. J Thus, for big, they 
 say pick ; for blood, phot ; and for good, coot. 
 Instead of virtue and vice, they say firtue and 
 Jice; instead of zeal and praise, they say »eal 
 
 * See this more fully exemplified in Ele- 
 j ments of Elocution, vol. ii. page 13. 
 
 + Or rather the rising circumflex. For an 
 explanation of this inflection, see Rhetorical 
 Grammar, third edition, page 79. 
 
 t See pages vl. and vii. 
 
 and jtrace; instead of Ihege and those, they 
 say thece and fhore; and instead of azure and 
 osier, they say ayfher and oiher : and for jail, 
 chad. Thus there are nine distinct conso- 
 nant sounds which, to the Welsh, are en- 
 tirely useless. To speak with proprietj', 
 tli'-refore, the Welsh, ought for some time 
 to pronounce the flat consonant;: and aspira- 
 tions only; that is, they ought not only to 
 pronounce them where the letters require 
 the flat sound, but even where they require 
 the sharp sound: this will be the best way 
 to acquire a habit: and when this is once 
 done, a distinction will be easily maile, and 
 a just pronunciation more readily acquired. 
 
 There is scarcely any part of England, 
 remote from the capital, where a different 
 system of pronunciation does not prevail. 
 .\s in Wales they pronounce the sharp con- 
 sonants for the flat, so in Somersetshire 
 they nronounce many of the flat instead of 
 the sharp: thus, for Somerfietghire, they say 
 Zomerzetzhire: for father, rather; for Mink, 
 mink; and for tvie, zhure. 
 
 There are dialects peculiar to Cornwall, 
 Lancashire, Yorkshire, and every distant 
 county in England; hut as a consideration 
 of these would lead to a detail too minute 
 for the present occasion, 1 shall conclude 
 these remarks with a few observations on 
 the peculiarities of my countrvnien, the 
 Cockneys; who, as they are the models of 
 pronunciation to the distant provinces, ought 
 to be the more scrupulously correct. 
 
 FiBST Fault 07 Ijohdoskbs. — rronouncing 
 
 t indittinetly after st. 
 The letter « after »t, from t he very di fficulty 
 of its pronunciation, is often sounded inarti- 
 culately. The inhabitants of London, of the 
 lowest order, cut the knot, and pronounce it 
 in a distinct syllable, as if e were before it; 
 but this is to be avoided as the greatest ble- 
 mish in speaking : the three last letters in 
 po'1ii,Jist», miftt, &.C., mutt all be distinctly 
 heard in one syllable, and without permitting 
 the letters to coalesce. For the acquiring of 
 this sound, it will be proper to select nouns 
 that end in st or fte; to form them into 
 plurals, and pronounce them forcibly and 
 distiuctly every- daj'. The same may be ob- 
 served of the third person of verbs ending in 
 ttt or ttet, as persists, wattes, hastes, li.c. 
 
 Secodd Fault. — Pronovncing w for v, and 
 inversely. 
 
 The pronunciation of r for ir, and more 
 frequently of w for v, among the inhabitants 
 of London, and those not always of the lower 
 order, is a blemish of the first magnitude. 
 The difficulty of remedying this delect is the 
 gT^ater, as the cure of one of these mistakes 
 has a tendency to promote the other. 
 
 Thus, if you be very careful to make a 
 pupil pronounce veal and vinegar, not as if 
 written weal and winegar, yon will find bin: 
 very apt to pronounce ivtne and wind as if 
 written vine and vind. The onlv method of 
 recfifj'ing this liabit seems to be this: Let 
 the niipil select from a Dictionary, not only 
 all tne words that begin with v, but as many 
 as he can of those that have this letter in 
 any other part. Let him be told to bite his 
 under lip while he is soundmg the v in those 
 words, and to practise this every day till be 
 
INTRODUCTION. 
 
 pronounce the v properly at first sight : then, 
 mul not till then, let liiin pursue the same 
 inctliod with thew; whicli he must be di- 
 rected to pronounce by a pouting out of the 
 lips without suffering them to touch the 
 teeth. Thus, by siviuR all the attention to 
 only one of these letters at atirae, and fixing 
 liy iinbit the true soMnd of that, we shall at 
 lasilind both of them reduced to their proper 
 promniriation, in a shorter time than by 
 endeavouring to rectify them both at once. 
 
 Third Fault. — Not sounding h after w. 
 
 The aspirate h is often sunk, particularly 
 in the capital, where we do not fitul theleast 
 distinction of sound between while and wile, 
 wlu't and wet, where and were, &c. Tlie best 
 uietliod to rectify this, is to collect all tlie 
 words of this description from a Dictionary, 
 and write tliemdown; and, instead of the uA, 
 to begin them witli hoo in adistinct syllable, 
 and so to pronounce them. Thus, let while 
 be written and sounded hoo-ile; whet,hoo-et; 
 where, hooare; lehip, hoo-ip, &c. This is no 
 more, as Dr. Lowih observes, tlian placing 
 the aspirate in its true position before the i«, 
 as it is in the Saxon, which tlie words come 
 I roni ; where we may observe, that t hough we 
 have altered the orthography of our ancestors, 
 we have still preserved their pronunciation. 
 
 Fourth Fault. — Not sounding h where it 
 ought to be sounded, and inversely. 
 
 \ still worse nabit than the last prevails, 
 chi°fly among the people of London, that of 
 sinking the Aat the ueginningof words where 
 it ought to be sounded, and ot sounding if, 
 either where it is not seen, or where it ought 
 to be s\ink. Thus we not unfrequently hear, 
 especially among children, heart ])ronounced 
 art, and arm, harm. This is a vice perfectly 
 similar to that of pronouncing the r for the 
 w, and the iv for the v, and requires a similar 
 method to correct it. 
 
 As there are so very few words in the lan- 
 guage where the initial h is sunk, we may 
 select these from the rest, and, without set- 
 ting the pupil right when he mispronounces 
 these, or when he prefixes h improperly to 
 oti'.er words, we may make him pronounce 
 all the words where h is soumled, till he 
 lias almost torgot there are anj* words pro- 
 nounced otherwise: then he may go over 
 those words to which he improperly prefixes 
 the h, and those where the h is seen, out not 
 sounded, without any danger of an inter-

 IX ORDER TO OBTilK A KNOWLEDGE OF THE MARKS IN THIS DICTIONART, AND TO ACQCIRB 
 A RIGHT PRONUNCIATION OP EVERY WORD IN THE ENGLISH LANOUAGE. 
 
 As the sounds of the vowels are different 
 in ditTerent languages, it would be endless 
 to bring parallel sounds from the various 
 languages of Europe; but, as the French is 
 so generally understood upon the Continent, 
 if we can reduce the sound of the English 
 letters to those of the French, we shall 
 render the pronunciarion of our language 
 very generally attainable: and thisj it is 
 
 presumed, will be pretty accurately ac- 
 complished by observiug the followmij

 change. .\8 these latter words are but few, 
 1 shall siibjoin a catalogue of them for the 
 use of the learner: Heir, heiress, honest, ho- 
 nesty, konestlt/, honour, Iwnourable, honour- 
 ably, hospital, hostler, hour, hourly, humble, 
 humbles, humbly, humour, humorist, humorous, 
 humorously, humorsome: where we may ob- 
 serve that humour and its compounds not 
 only sink the h, but sound the u like the 
 l)ronoun you, or the noun yew, as if written 
 yewmour, yewmourous, &c. 
 
 Thus 1 have endeavoured to correct some 
 ofthe more glaring errors of my countrymen, 
 w bo, with all their faults, are still up<m the 
 whole the best pronouncers of the Enalish 
 language: tor tliough the pron\inciation of 
 Iiondon is certainly erroneous in many 
 words, yet, upon beingcompared with that of 
 any other place, it is undoubtedly the bcvt; 
 that is, not only the best by courtesy, and be- 
 cause it happens to be the pronunciation of 
 the capital, but the best by a better title— 
 thatol being more generally received; or, in 
 other words, though the people of London 
 arc erroneous in the pronunciation of many ) 
 wonls, the inhabitants of every other place 
 are erroneous in many more. Kay, harsh as 
 the sentence may seem, those at a consider- 
 able distance from the capital, do not only 
 mispronounce many words taken separately, 
 but they scarcely pronounce, with purity, a 
 single word, syllable, or letter. Thus, if the 
 short sound of the letter u in trunk, suiik,l<ic. 
 ditler from the sound of that letter in the 
 northern parts of England, where they sound 
 it like the u in bull, and nearly as if tlio 
 words were written Iroonk, soonk, &c., it ne- 
 ccssarilj- (ollows that every word where the 
 second sound of that letter occurs must by 
 those provincials be mispronounced. 
 
 But though the inhabitants of London 
 have this manifest advantage over all the 
 other inhabitants of the island, they have 
 the disadvantage of being more disgraced by 
 their peculiarities than any other peoi)le. 
 The grand difference between the metropolis 
 and the provinces is, that people of education 
 in London are generally free from the vices 
 ofthe vulgar; but the best educated people 
 in the provinces, if constantlj' resident there, 
 are sure to be strongly tinctured with the 
 dialect of the country in whicli they live. 
 Hence it is, that the vulgar pronunciation oi 
 London, though not half so erroneous as that 
 of Scotland, Ireland, or any of the provinces, 
 is, to a person of correct taste, a thousand 
 times more offensive and disgusting.

 to make the pupil dwell some time with 
 the tongue beyond the teeth, in order to 
 form a habit, and to pronounce dfiily some 
 words out of a Dictionary beginning and 
 ending with these letters. 
 
 These directions, it is presumed, if pro- 
 perly attended to, will be sufficient to give 
 such foreigners as understand French, and 
 have not access to a master, a competent 
 knowledge of English pronuuciation ; but to 
 render the sounds of the vowels marked by 
 figures in this Dictionary still more easily 
 to be comprehended— with those Englisli 
 words which exemplify the sounds of the 
 vowels, I have associated such French words 
 as have vowels exactly corresponding to I 
 them, and which immediately convey the 
 true English pronunciation. These should 
 be committed to memorj-, or written down i 
 
XVUl 
 
 and held in the hand while the pupil is in- 
 specting the Dictionary. 
 
 Perhaps the greatest advantage to fo- 
 reigners and provincials will be derived from 
 the classification of words of a similar sound, 
 and drawing the line between the general 
 rule and the exception. This has been an 
 arduous task; but it is hoped the benefit 
 arising from it will amply repay it. When 
 the numerous varieties of sounds annexed 
 to vowels, diphthongs, and consonants, lie 
 scattered without bounds, a learner is be- 
 wildered and discouraged from attemptmg 
 to distinguish them ; but when they are all 
 clas.-'ed, arranged, and enumerated, the va- 
 riety seems less, the number smaller, and 
 the distinction easier. What an inextricable 
 labyrinth do the diphthongs ta and ou, form 
 as t hey 1 ie loose in the language ! but classed 
 and arranged as we find them*, the con-

 fusion vanishes, they become much less 
 formidable, and a learner has it in his power, 
 by repeating them daily, to become master 
 of them all in a very little time.

 OU. — The first or proper sound of this 
 diphthong is composed of the a in ball, and 
 the 00 in woo, or rather the « in bull, and is 
 equivalent to the ow in down, frown, &c. 
 This sound is heard in abound, about, account, 
 acousticks, aground, aloud, amount, around, 
 arouse, astound, avouch, bough, bounce, bound, 
 bounty, bounteous, bout, carouse, chouse, cloud, 
 dough, clout, clouterly, compound, couch, 
 couchant, crouch, grouse, dejlour, devour, de- 
 vout, doubt, doubtful, drought, do uiihty, douse, 
 encounter, espouse, expound, flout, foul, floun- 
 der, found, foundling, fountain, frousy, glout, 
 gout (a disease), ground, grout, hound, hour, 
 house, impound^ loud, lounge, louse, lout, 
 mound, mountain, mountebank, mouse, mouth, 
 noun, ounce, our, oust, out, outer, outermost, 
 2>aramount, plough, puuck, pounce, pound, pout, 
 profound, pronoun, pronounce, propound, 
 proud, rebound, recount, redoubt, redoubted 
 redound, rencounter, round, roundelay, rouse, 
 rout, scoundrel, scour, scout, shout, shroud, 
 slouch, spouse, spout, sprout, stout, surround, 
 couth, thou, thousand, touse, trounce, trousers, 
 trout, wound (did wind), slough (a miry 
 place), vouch, vouchsafe, without, scaramouch. 
 The second sound is that of short u in 
 bud, as is heard in the following words and 
 their compounds: Adjourn, journey , journal, 
 bourgeon, country, cousin, couple, uccouple, 
 double, trouble, courteous, courtesy, courage, 
 encourage, joust, gournet, housewife, flourish, 
 mounch, nourish, enough, chough, rough, tough, 
 slough (a cast skin), scourge, southerly, 
 southern, southern-wood, southward, touch, 
 touchy, young, younker, and youngster; but 
 southern, southerly, and southward, are some- 
 times pronounced regularly like south: this, 
 however, is far from the prevailing pronun- 
 ciation. This is the soimd this diphthong 
 always has when the accent is not ou it, 
 unless in very few instances, where the 
 compound retains the sound of the simple, 
 as ixi pronoun; but in sojourn and sojourner, 
 with the accent on the first syllable, and in 
 every unaccented termination in our and 
 ous, this diphthong has exactly the sound 
 of short u : "thus, favour, honour, odour, and 
 famous, are pronounced as if written /airur, 
 honur, odur, &nd famus. 
 
 The third sound given to these vowels is 
 that of 00 in coo and woo, and is found in 
 the following words: Bouge, croup, group, 
 aggroiip, amour, paramour, bouse, bouiy, 
 boutefeu, capouch, cartouch, fourbe, gout 
 (taste), and ragout (pronounced goo and

 rovte (a road), arcnutrerl, billetdoux, (ijoHti, 
 vvcovih, vnund (a hurt), and routine (a 
 beaten road). 
 
 The fourth sound of thisdipbthone isthat 
 of long open o, and is heard in the following 
 words; Thmiph, althovph, tnviler, court, ac. 
 court, gourd, covrficr, roume, tiisrovr»e, »mirrf,

 Sheridan a« rhyming; with dnil, but more 
 properly by Dr. Kenrick with roU), and bn- 
 rough, thorough, furlough, fourteen, concovm*, 
 and intercourse, preserve the diphthonic in 
 the sound of lonn o, though not under the 
 accent. 
 
 The fifth sound of o« is like the nnnn awe, 
 and is heard only in ought, bought, brought, 
 fought, benought, fought, nought, thought, me- 
 thought, uvrought. 
 
 The sixth sound is that of short oo, or the 
 « in bull, and is heard only in the auxiliary 
 verbs would, coulA, thouid, rhyminj? with 
 good, hood, ttood, &c 
 
 The seventh sound is that of short o, and 
 heard only in cough, and trouah, rhyininic 
 with off, and scoff'; and in lough and though, 
 pronouncpd lock and thock. 
 
 * There is a peculiarity of accentuation in 
 certain words of two syllables, which are 
 both nouns and verbs, that is not unworthy 
 of notice ; the nouns having the accent on 
 the first syllable, and the verbs on the last. 
 This seems an instinctive effort in the lan- 
 grua^c (if the expression «ill be allowed me), 
 to compensate in some measure for the want 
 of different terminations for thpse difi"erent 
 parts of speech. The words which admit of 
 this diversity of accent are the following :

 But scarcely any method will be so nscful 
 for gaining the Engli«h accents a« the read- 
 ing of verse. This will naturally Ifsd the 
 ear to tbe right accentuation ; and though a 
 different position of theaccnt is freqiifntly 
 to be met with in the beginning of a verse, 
 there is a sufficient regijlanty to render ihe 
 pronouncing of verse a powerful means of 
 obtaining such a distinction of force anj 
 feeblrne«s as is commonly called the accent; 
 tor it may be observed, that a foreigner is 
 no less distinguishable by placing an accent 
 npon cenain words to which tbe Engli>h 
 give no stress, than by placing the stress 
 upon a wrong syllable. Thus, if a foreigner, 
 «hen he call* fi>r bread at table by saying. 
 Give me tome bread, lays an equal stress upr n 
 every word, though every word should be 
 pronounced with its exact sound, we imme- 
 diately perceive he is not a native. An 
 Englishman would pronounce these four 
 words like two, with the accent on the first 
 syllahlp of the first, and on the last syllable 
 of the la»t, as if written gireme sornehrtd; 
 or rather jr'tTue »vmbrM; or more commonly, 
 though vulgarlv, gimme tombrM. Verse may 
 sometimes inefnce a foreigner, as it docs 
 sometimes injudicious natives, to lay tha
