[ X HE faculty of speech, or the power of expressing thoughts j by sounds, and of notifying the conceptions of the mind, by the combinations of appropriate tones addressed to the ear, L« at once the ornament and exclusive prerogative of Man : it is a distinction which, originating out of the privilege of reason, raises him much above the brute creation, generates the bonds of society, and produces all those amiable charit es of human life, which constitute its principal delight and interest. Therefore, in proportion as man cultivates this high and ex* tensive power, his intercourse with others becomes more dig- nified, and his means of attaining knowledge for himself, much more extended. Impressed with a conviction of this truth, men have at afl times paid attention to this pre-eminent gift of our species, and have cultivated the Art of Speaking not only as an ornamental, but an useful accomplishment. Grammarians existed coeval With the best writers, and Philology has been the object of the study of the cleverest men in all ages. The Athenians, for instance, were so strenuously bent upon the improvement of the pronunciation of their vernacular tongue, that at the least ex- pression dropped from the lips of any Greek, who was not da Athenian, they would discover him ; and the very flower-girls and market-women, of the city of Minerva, smiled at the im- proper dialect of any man, who did not add ess tLem in the purest style of Attic nicety. The Romans paid the same re- spect to their tongue, and a Varo y a Cicero, a Quintillutn, and several others, whose genius could soar far above tfie mere cal- culations of letters, and the irksome comparison of sounds, did tot disdain to bestow a great deal of their time and knowledge upon this branch of orthology. In our own country, in parti- cular, so many eminent philologists have gone before us in this path, that little remains for the Editor of a Pronouncing Dic- tionary of the English Language,but to familiarize the mind with a knowledge already extant, with principles thoroughly esta- blished, and to endeavour, by a more lucid arrangement of materials, to smooth the road to the attainable perfection of the science. I Although, at first sight, such a task might be supposed hum- ble, trite, and easy, yet the Editor, by the constant pains he has taken to bring the work to perfection, and the almost intermin- able difficulties which he met in his way, is well aware that such a performance requires the strictest attention, and the most in- defatigalle care ; and nothing but the success, which his exer- tions ensured to him, could repay him for the trouble he has taken. As he cannot here boast of originality in his concep- tions, he must build his fame upon strictness and exactitude, and sit down content with the conscience of having facilitated the acquisition of a branch of knowledge, worthy of the atten- tion of all classes of society. The first impression of this work consisted of seven thousand in number— it was sold off in a few months. A second edition was soon prepared, to the number of ten thousand, and has experienced as rapid a sale as the former $ and this new one, we feel no hesitation to say, will have the same success : such is the unbounded approbation which the public has given to this useful publication. Besides, the very flattering testimo- nies, hereunto annexed, of some of our best Critics, have stimu- lated our exertions to render this new edition still more worthy of public patronage. The singular nature of the accents, [ v ] directing to the best approved pronunciation, requiring the most minute attention in every department, has been scrupul- ously attended to, and its progress through the press has been proportionably regarded. Every sheet has been critically examined before it was com- mitted to the press, and minutely corrected before its com- pletion. From local circumstances we have been peculiarly enabled to distinguish with precision the southern from the northern expression of the vowels ; and the whole has been modelled to the best standard of our language. In this edition we have introduced the apostrophe, where two syllables at the end of words are usually contracted in pronunciation into one, and the pronouncing characters have been equally attended to ; but in all those contracted syllables where the common accent, which has been strictly regarded, coincides with the apostrophe, the latter is omitted. Several pages of additional words are introduced in their proper places, precisely defined ami nark- ed ; a very few anomalous cases excepted, which bid defiance to all general rules, where the nearest approved sounds arc specified. With these advantages, we feel confident that our labours will be properly appreciated. To this edition are annexed some thoughts on the Brit : ah empire and constitution, with a list of cities, borough*, and market towns, and their distances from the respective extre- mities of London, and some other useful matters ; and to the whole are prefixed a concise table of words of simjiar sound, and of the usual abbreviations occurring in printed books of this nature. [ vi ] TESTIMONIES Of Periodical and Critical Publications. " The obscure sound of the five vowels we consider as a very striking im- provement. Of this he gives specimens in all the vowels, though it is nearly alike in them all ; and it may be understood to constitute a new classification •f a general principle, hitherto but little adverted to by writers on the elements of our vernacular tongue. The mode of stating the two sounds of th also, though of Saxon origin, is both ingenious and useful. On the whole, this Dic- tionary may be justly recommended to all persons desirous of acquiring a knowledge of the principles necessary to form a correct and approved pronun- ciation." Gent. Mag, July, 1807. M In a very modest preface, Mr. Enfield observes. ' that the editor of such a work as this has little to do, but to familiarize the mind to knowledge already extant, and to endeavour, by a lucid arrangement of the materials of his pre- decessors, to smooth the path of science.' Humble as such pretensions are, the task is one which requires the exercise both of considerable judgment and of great industry ; and it is but common justice to say, that Mr. Enfield' has displayed both in the compilation and arrangement of the useful little vo- lume before us." Anti- Jacobin Itevierv, Aug. J8O7 " To express by letters the nice distinction between sounds is no easy task; but in the work before us, the author has taken no small pains in compilation. His scheme of the vowels makes them comprehend twenty-two sounds, aLd that of the consonants represents their powers to be numerous. Weweiefor the most part pleased with his mode of pronunciation." Monthly Rev Feb. 1308. RECOMMENDATIONS. THIS little Dictionary, which is unequalled for its neatness and utility, has been already adopted by the following respectable Masters of Seminaries for the Instruction of Youth : and it is with pleasure we add, that its acknow- ledged merits have introduced it into various Schools of established reputation throughout the United Kingdoms. We shall just add the Names of some of the many Gentlemen, who, apprised of its real value, will, by 'this Recom- mendation, feel happy in promoting its utitily amongst the rising generation .

PROSODY consists of two parts : the one teaches the true pronunciation of words, and the other the laws of versification. PRONUNCIATION is just when every letter has its proper sound, and when every syllable has its proper accent. lhe principles of pronunciation are letters ; and the' elements or letters into which the words of any language may be analysed, form the necessary alphabet of that language In the English alphabet are twenty-six letters. abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz. Of these letters there are six vowels, which, by themselves, each make, by simply opening the mouth, a perfect sound. The remaining twenty are called consonants, which cannot be sounded without a vowel, and whose pronuncia- tion depends on the particular application and use of every part of the mouth, as the teeth, the lips, the palate, &c. The several sounds of the English voweh are exhibited in the following scheme : SCHEME OF THE VOWELS. A Marked. Nature of Sound.

THE reader will notice that the a marked short, thus K, has its utterance lengthened by having the accent placed immediately after it — as in sha'rp, bath, a'ss,&c. the a is sensibly longer than in 8sh', hat', glad', &c. where the accent follows the consonant. The same holds with respect to short 8. This distinc- tion should be particularly noted by the consultor of this work- In sounding i open your mouth as wide as if you were going to pronounce the broad, obscure, and guttural a, and meant to sound that vowel ; but on the first effort of the voice for that purpose, check its progress by a sudden motion of the under jaw towards the upper, stopping it in that situation iu which the slender sound lis formed, and then instantly cutting off all sound. Thus as the sound of a is not completed, nor the sound of I continued, there results frorr the union of the two a third sound or diphthong which has no re- semblance to either, and yet is a compound of both. Sheridan. To form the diphthong ol' or of % it is necessary to pronounce the full sound of a\ dwelling some time on that vowel before the sound is intercepted by the motion of the under jaw to the position of forming the slender sound 5. and then the voice is instantly to cease. — This diphthong 8Y or £?', differs from that of I only in this, that the first vowel a' is distinctly heard before it unites with the latter vowel !. Sheridan. To produce the diphthong ou' or b\v', it is necessary that there should be the greatest aperture of the mouth, as if it were about to form the sound a'; but before that sound is comple ed, the organs are to change to the position of pro- nouncing 6 (or u), by a rapid motion of the under jaw towards the upper, and pro- truding the lips in the form of sounding 6 (or u), at the same time stopping tne voice short ; and thus, as in the diphthong of, by having neither the sound of the former or latter letter completed, there arises, from the coalescence of the two, a third sound different from both, which is the diphthong ou'or ow'. Sheridan. Here again the absence of the accent shortens the sound a little. Wh sounds h6 or hu before a, e, i, u, y. Wh sounds only like aspirated h before o and oo. When a letter is to be silent, the same is left out in the representation of the sounds to be given to each syllable; the silent e only is often characterised by being an Italic e at the end of a syllable, instead of being a Roman e. lest, where that si ent e serves to prolong the syllable, the absence of this final e should de- ceive ihe eye. Oftentimes y without any mark over it, because its sound gen'ly slides into that of the next vowel, will he found in this dictionary, as in Sheridan's quarto. From this it will be inferred, that this y does not form of itself a syllable : for instance in grammarian, marked gram-ma ry an, one is given to understand that the sound of the word consists only of three syllables from the i being changed into a coalescing.^. — There aie, however, many words in which the i actually forms a syllable of its own before another vowel, though that syllable be a very short one ; and it will generally form such a syllable when the i is preceded by bl t cl, dl,&c. or by br, cr, dr, &c. I « J In order to render this dictionary moie useful to those, who only make occa- sional eference to works of this nature, as well as to assist the student, th« preceding scheme is exhibited at the top of e^eh page, which will save the reader the trouble and inconvenience of turning to this part of the book, and forms & key which may be consulted with facility.

CONSONANTS are generally divided into mutes and semi-vowels. The mutes are those, which entirely, and at once, obstruct the sound of the vowei, and prevent its continuation. These are called perfect mutes. Those, which do not suddenly obstruct it, are called imperfect mutes. Semi-vowels are those consonants which do not entirely obstruct the voice, bat whose sounds may be continued at pleasure, thus partaking of the nature of vowels. The nature of these consonants I proceed briefly to explain, A vowel sound may be continued at pleasure, or it may be terminated, either by discontinuing the vocal effort, in which case it is not articulated by any con- sonant, as in pronouncing the vowel o; or by changing the conformation of • Opinions vary about this sound of x in several words, some contending for the softer sound of ks, whilst others, from a provincial partiality in many cases, at least, espouse the harder sound of gz. Some of these have been softened in the present edition, whilst others have been retained; for which we can only assign the general reason in our preface. Editor, [ xi 1 the mouth, or relative position of the organs of speech, so that the vowel sound is lost by articulation, as in pronouncing the syllable or. It is to be observed also, that a vowel maybe articulated, not only by being terminated by a consonant, as in the example now given, but likewise by introducing the sound with that position of the organs, by which it had, in the former case, been terminated, as in pronouncing the syllable ro. ... . . , In pronouncing the consonants, there are five distinguishable portions of the organs. I he first is the application of the lips to each other, so as to close the mouth. Thus are formed the consonants p, b. and m In the second position, the under lip is ai plied to the fore teeth of the upr er jaw; and in this manner we pronounce the consonant standi;. The third position is, when the tongue is applied to the fore teeth ; and thus we pronounce th. In the fourth position we apply the fore part of the tongue to the fore part of the palate; and by this application we pronounce the letters t y d, s, z, r, I, n. The fifth position is, when the middle part of the tongue is applied to the palate, and thus we pronounce /c, the hard sound of g, (as in go) sh, J, and ng. In the first position we have three letters, of which the most simple, and indeed the only articularor, being absolutely mute, is p. In the formation of this letter, nothing is required but the sudden closingof the mouth, and stop- ping the vowel sound; or the sound may be articulated by the sudden open- ing of the lips, in order to emit the compressed sound of the vowel. Now if, instead of simply expressing the vowel sound by opening the lips, in saying, for example, pa, we shall begin to form a guttural sound, the posi- tion being still preserved ; then, on the opening the lips, we shall pronounce the syllable ba. The guttural sound is produced by a compt ession of the larynx, or windpipe, and is that kind of murmur, as Bishop W ilk ins expresses it, which is heard in the throat, before the breath is emitted with the vocal sound. B, therefore, though justly considered as a mute, is not a perfect mute. The mouth being kept in the same position, and the breath being emitted through the nostrils, the letier m is produced. In the first position, therefore, we have a perfect mute p, having no audi- ble sound; a labial and liquid consonant tn, capable of a continued sound; and, between these two extremes, we have the letter b, somewhat audible, though different from any vocal sound Here then are three things to be distinguished. 1st. The perfect mute, having no sound of any kind. 2dly The perfect consonant, having not only a proper, but continued sound: and 3dly, Between these extremes we find the letter b, having a proper sound, but so limited, that, in respect to the -perfect consonant, it may be termed a mute, and in relation to the perfect mute, may be properly termed imperfect. In the second position we have che letters f and t>, neither of which are perfect mutes. The letter f is formed by having the aspiration not altoge- ther interrupted, but emitted forcibly between the foie teeth and under lip. This is the simple articulation in this position. If to this we join the gut- tural sound, we shall have the letter v, a letter standing in nearly the same relation to/ 1 , as b and w, in the first position, stand top. The only differ- ence between f and v is, that, in the former, the compression of the teeth and under lip is not so strong as in the latter, and that the former is pro- duced by the breath only, and the latter by the voice and breath combined. The consonant f> therefore, though not a mute like p, in having the breath absolutely confined, may notwithstanding be considered as such, con- sistently with that principle, by which a mute is understood to be an aspira- tion without guttural sound. Agreeably to the distinction already made, v may be termed a perfect consonant, and f an imperfect one, having no proper sound, though audibie. Thus we have four distinctions of consonants in our alphabet, [ xii ] . namely, of perfect and imperfect consonants ; perfect and imperfect mutes I thus. p is a perfect mute, having no sound. b an imperfect mute, having proper sound, but limited. on a perfect consonant, having sound, and continued. / an imperfect consonant, having no sound, but audible. In the third position we have th as heard in the words then and thin formed by placing the tip of the tongue between the teeth, and pressing it against the upper teeth. The only difference between these articulations' 3 is that, like ./and v, the one is formed by the breath only, and the other by the breath and voice together. The sound of th, in thin, is usually marked with a stroke through the h, like the Saxon, to distinguish it from its other sound as in thick. Here also may be distinguished the perfect and the imperfect consonant • for the th in thin has no sound, but is audible, whereas the th in this, there has a sound, and that continued. In the fourth position there are several consonants formed. 1st. If the breath be stopped, by applying the fore part of the tongue forcibly to that part of the palate which is contiguous to the fore teeth, we produce the perfect mute t, having neither aspiration or guttural sound. By accom- panying this operation of the tongue and palate with the guttural sound, we shall pronounce the letter d, which, like b of the first position, may be consi- dered as a mute, though not perfect. For in pronouncing ed the tongue at first gently touches the gum, and is gradually pressed clo3er, till the sound is obstructed; whereas in pronouncing et, the tongue is at once pressed so close that the sound is instantly intercepted. 2dly, If the tip of the tongue be turned up towards the upper gum, so as not to touch it, and thus the breath be cut by the sharp point of the tongue, passing through the narrow chink left between that and the gum, we pro- nounce the sibilating sound of s. If we accompany this operation with a guttural sound, as in b, v,andlhiti then, we shall pronounce the letter z\ the same difference subsisting between s and z as between /and v> p and 6* th and th. 3dly, If we make the tip of the tongue vibrate rapidly between the upper and lower jaw, so as not to touch the latter, and the former but gent'y, we shall pronounce the letter r. The more closely and forcibly the tongue vibrates against the upper jaw, the stronger will the sound he rendered. It is formed about the same distance from the teeth, as the letter d, or rather some- what behind it. 4thly, If the end of the tongue be gently applied to the fore part of the palate, a little behind the seat of the letter d, and somewhat before the place of r, and the voice be suffered to glide gently over the sides of the tongue, we shall pronounce the letter I. Here the breadth of the tongue is contracted, and a space left for the breath to pass from the upper to the under part of the tongue, in forming this the most vocal of all the consonants. 5thly, If the aspirating passage, in the formation of the preceding conso- nant, be stopped, by extending the tongue to its natural breadth, so as to in- tercept the voice, and prevent its exit by the mouth, the breath emitted through the nose will give the letter n. In the fifth position, namely, when we apply the middle or back part of the tongue to the palate, we have the consonants k,g. sh,j, and )tg. If the middle of the tongue be raised, so as to press closely against the roof of the mouth, and iniercept the voice at once, we pronounce the letter k (e/c). If the tongue be not so closely applied at first, and the sound be allowed to continue a ittle, we have the letter g (eg). Thus ek and eg bear the same analogy to each other, as et and ed of the fourth position. If the tongue be protruded towards the teeth, so as not to touch them, and be kept itt a position somewhat flatter than in pronouncing the letter s, the voice anil t xiii ] breath passing over it through a wider chink, we shall have the sound of esh. If we apply the tongue to the palate as in pronouncing sh, but a little more forcibly, and accompanying it with the guttural sound, we shall have the sound of the Fr^-nchj. Thus j is in this position analagous to the letter b, v, th in the first, second, and third positions, and is a simple consonant. J in English is a douhle consonant, compounded ofd and the French j, as in join. U we raise the middle of the tongue to the palate gently, so as to permit part of the voice to issue through the mouth, forcing the remainder back, through the noose, keeping at the same time the tongue in the same position at in pronouncing eg, we shall have the articulating sound of ir/g, for which we have no simple character. 'lhe only remaining letter k is the note of aspiration, formed in various positions, according to the vowel with which it is combined. What effect the compression of the larynx has in articulation, may be seen by comparing these pairs of consonants. "With compression. Without compression. B P G K D T Z S Th Tn V F J Sh OF ACCENT. Having thus given what we deem the best authorities as to the sounds of the letters, we shall insert the following short rules for the accent, or quan- tity of syllables, by Dr. Johnson ; which, though subject to exception, are, perhaps, the, best suited to the comprehension of the uniformed student of any extant, on a subject so complicated, and where so much, after all the rules that ran be given, must depend on the compass and capacity of the voice of the speaker. Accent is the laying a peculiar stress of the voice on a certain letter or syllable in a word, that it may be better heard than the rest, or distinguished from i hem; as in the word presume, the stress of the voice must be on the letter u. and second s\ liable sume, which takes the accent. Every woid of our language, of more than one syllable, has one of them distinguished from the rest in this manner; and every monosyllable of two or more letters has one of its letters thus distinguished. As emphasis is a stronger and fuller sound of voice, by whieh we distin- guish some word or words on which we design to lay particular stress, to shew how they affeci the rest of the 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 ob- serve OF DISSYLLABLES. Of Dissyllables, formed by affixing a termination, the former syllable is commonly accented, a&childuh, kingdom,, a'c'ed, toilsome, lo'vers, cdffer, fa'irer, fo'rei/'ost, ze'atous, fulness, godly, ine'ekly,s, " Contravene, acquiesce." A Tribrach has three syllables unaccented: as, " Nume'rXble', conquerable." Some of these feet may be denominated principal feet ; as pieces of poe- try may be wholly or chiefly formed of any of them. Such are the Trochee, Iambus, Dactyl, and Anapa?st, which we shall endeavour to sxplain. The others may be termed secondary feet; because their chief use is to diversify 4he numbers, and to improve the verse. IAMBIC verses may be divided into several species, according to the num- ber of feet or syllables of which they are composed. The first form of our Iambic which viz shall notice is too short to be con- tinued through any great number of lines. It consists of two Iambuses. What placets here! What scenes appear ! To me the rose No longer glows. The second form consists of three Iambuses. Yn place's far Or near, Or famous or obscure, Where wholesome is the air. Or where the most impure. The third form is made up of four Iambuses. and may Kt last my* weary" age, Find out the peaceful hermitage. The fourth species of English Iambic consists of five Iambuses. HoV lov'd, h8w valti'd once, avails the:* not, To whom related, or by whom begot : b2 * [ *vi ] A heap of dust alone remains of thee : >Tis all Ihou art, and all the proud shall be. This is called the Heroic measure. In its simplest form it consists of five Iambuses ; but by the admission of other feet, as Trochees, Dactyls, Ana- pasts, &c. it is capable of many varie- ties. Indeed, most of the English common measures may be varied in the same way ; but it's a sort of licence which good authors have very seldom, if ever, availed themselves of in works of a serious nature. The sixth foim of our Iambic is com- monly called the Alexandrine measure. It consists of six Iambuses. For thou art but bf dust j be* humble" and be wise. In all these measures the accents are to be placed on even syllables ; and every line considered by itself is, in general, more melodious, as this rule is more strictly observed. We must add, that in imitation of the ancients, our best authors have in- troduced the caesure in the Heroic and Alexandrine verse ; it is a pause or rest which is consistent with the sense of the phrase, and always conducive to its harmony.— In the line of five or ten syl- lables this rest occurs, generally af- ter the second foot, or fourth syllable, as in the following example : ** Oh ! spare my youth] and for the life I owe Large gifts of price] my father shall be- stow ; When fame shall tell] that not in battle slain Thy hollow ships] his captive son de- tain.'' Pope's Iliad, B. vi. 57- But the caesure changes often its place, and may be found after the third and even the fourth foot, as for instance: *• He said : compassioa touch'dj the Hero's heart. Loc. cit. u Scarce had his faulchion cut the reins ] and freed The incumber'd chariot from the dying steed." Pope's Iliad. B. viii. However, this liberty should not be taken too often, and only when the harmony of the verse requires it. Besides this, our versification admits of few licences , among which we may rank the following. The synalapka , or elision of e in the before a vowel, as, tW eternal ; and sometimes but rarely of o in to, as, V accept. TROCH AIC verse is of several kinds. The shortest Trochaic verse in our language, consists of one Trochee and a long syllabic Truest love, From above, Being pure, Wiil endure. This measure is defective in dignity, and can seldom be used on serious occasions. The second English form of the Tro- chaic consists of two feet ; an i is like- wise so brief, that it is rarely used for any "ery serious purpose, on the mountain, By a fountain. It sometimes contains two feet or trochees, and an additional long sylla- ble ; as, in the days bf old Fables plainly told. The third species consists of three trochees; as, When bur hearts are mdurafng ; or of three trochees with an additional long syllable ; as, Restless mortals toil for nought; Bliss in vain from earth is sought : The fourth Trochaic species consists of four trochees; as, Round os roars the tempest louder. The fifth Trochaic species is uncom- mon. It is composed of five trochees, all that walk bn foot br ride tn oharibts. All that dwell in palaces or garrets. The sixth form of the English trochaic consists of six trochees , as, on & mountain, stretch* d beneath & hoar 1 ? willbw. Lay a shepherd swain, and view'd tht rolling billow. This seems to be the longest tro- chaic line that our language admits. In all these trochaic measures, the accent is to be placed on the odd syl- lables.

The second species consists of three anapaests. fcye' woods, spread ytfur branches Space; To your deepest recesses I fly ; The preceding are the different kinds of the principal feet, in their mor* simple forms. They are capable of numerous variations, by the intermixtur* of those feet with each other, and by the admission of the secondary feet, by which two short vowels coalesce into one syllable, as question, special ; or when a word is contracted by the expulsion of a short vowtl before a liquid, as av'rice, temp'rance. I would hide with the beasts of the chace ; I -would vanish from every eye. This is a very pleasing measure, and much used, both in solemn and cheer- ful subjects. The third kind of the English ana- paestic, consists of four anapaests. May 1 govern my passions with abso- lute sway, And grow wiser and better as life wears away. OF DERIVATION. TN order that the English Language may be more easily understood, as well as to give a key by which the student may form any derivative, or class of de- rivatives, that may be omitted in this Dictionary, we think it necessary to enquire how this description of words are deduced from their primitives, and point out the obvious rules by which they not only are formed, but by which their meanings may easily be discovered, and their true pronunciations acquired. OF SUBSTANTIVES. Nouns, or Substantives, are derived from verbs ; as, from to love, comet love ; to fright, a fright ; to strike, a stroke, &c. &c. Several philologists and grammarians are inclined to think that on the-, con- trary , verbs are derived from substantives, and this seems to be the most plau- sible opinion — as to love is to do or make love ; to work, to do or make zcork, ice. besides names for things must have been inveuted before names for att» ing; as they first caught the eye, and called on the mind for a definition. The more usual sorts of derived substantives, or nouns, are Diminutive Nouns, Abstract Noims, Verbal Substantives of thet Actor, Verbal Substan- tives of the Action ; Nouns that signify Office, Nouns that signify Dominion or Rule, and Nouns that signify State or Condition. Diminutive Nouns express the same as their primitive substantives, with the adjective little, and they are formed by adding the terminations kin, (kin), ling (ling, ock, (bk), en (en), el (el), &c. as lamb, lumkin; goose, gosling ; duck, duckling ; hill, hillock; chick, chicken; cock, cockerel, &c. Abstract Substantives are regularly formed by adding the termination ness (nes). (which denotes the quality or state of what the preceding word expres sci) to the adjective, as good, goodness ; kind, kindness; and sometimes they end in th (th), as length from long ; strength from strong ; wealth from wgiki. Abstract Nouns borrowed from the Latin end variously, as justice, fortitude, liberty. Arc. The Substantives of the Actor or Doer are derived from verbs, and denote the mic or habit of doing wh*t the verb from which they are formed expresses. They are generally formed by adding the termination er (er) to the verb, as bl [ xViii ] teach, teacher ; play, player, &c. ; but. in words borrowed from the Latin we usually keep the Latin termination or (or), as in doctor, governor, orator, kc. Substantives signifying; tiction, as separated from the agent or doer are re- gularly formed in English by adding; the termination ing (Tng), to the verb, as preach, preaching; pray, pi ayii, ery, CerV), &c. ; as commandment, tillage, appearance, prudery, Ac., and many de- rived from the Latin end in (ion (shtin), as instruction, correction, &c. ; and many otherwise, a* lecture, reason, doctrine, ice. Nouns that signify office, stale, conditioyi, &c. are usually formed by ad- ding ship (ship) to the primitive substantive, as kingship, the office of a king', stewardship, the office of a steward ; guardianship, the office of a guar- dian ; or lordship, partnership, foe. the stute or condition of a lord, part- ners, &c. Some substantives in ship come fiom adectives, as hard, hardship, &c. denoting the state of what the preceding word signifies. Nouns that sig- nify state or condition are also formed by addiu head (he'd, or hood (hud), to the primitive substantive, as the godhead, the state or majesty of God ; man" hood, the state or condition of a man; childhood, the state or condition of a child ; widowhood, the state or condition of a widow. Nouns that signify dominion, rule, jurisdiction , or state, are usually formed by adding the terminations wick (wtk), ric (rVk), ana do/n, (dom), as bailiwick, the jurisdiction of a bailiff; bishopric, the dominion of u bishop ; kingdom, the dominion of a king ; freedom, the state of being free, &c. Nouns that signify profession, generally are formed by adding the termina- tion ian (dn), as from physic, music, are formed physician , musician, &c. Nouns denoting character or habit are derived from verbs or adjectives, by adding ard (£rd), asdiunk, drunkard ; dote, dotard, &c. Nouns which express particular belief, opinion, doctrine, heresy, sect, ©r something which affects in the manner the preceding word expresses, are formed by the termination ism (Yzm). added to the substantive or verb, as pw ritanism from Puritan ; gentilism from Gentile; baptism from to baptise; ca- techism from to catechise, &c. Substantives in ist (Yst), express the maker or writer of, follower or advo- cate for, a dealer in, or one of, or curious in, a player in, one skilled in, one affected with, what the primitive word expresses, as from La»in, Latinist; bigamy, bigamist; dialogue, dialogist: panegyric, panegyrist; to baptize, baptist', drug, druggist, &c. &c. OF ADJECTIVES. Adjectives are derived from Substantives in the following manner, viz. Adjectives denoting plenty or abundance, are formed from Substantives, 1st, by addmg £/(?), as from health, healthy; wealth, wealthy ; might, mighty, &c. 2dly, By adding ous (us); as from malice, malicious; courage, cou» rageous; right, righteous; &c. or, 3dly, by adding ful (ful), as from joy, joyjul ; sin, sinful ; health, healthful. Adjectives denoting plenty, but with some kind of diminution, are form, ed from Substantives by the termination some (s6m), as from light, lightsome ; trouble, troublesome; toil, toilsome, &c. Diminutive Adjectives, or those which denote a little or somewhzt bf the nature or quality of what the preceding word expresses, are formed by adding the termination 2^ (tsh;, to a substantive or adjective; as child, childuh, or somewhat of a child ; black, blackish, or a little black, or somewKat bla^k, &c. Adjectives of likeness, or those which denotes likeness to what the preced- ing word expresses, ate usually formed by adding the termination ly (ly) ; and sometimes the adjective like (like, as godly, or like God; manly, or like a mail, or man like, &c. Adjectives signifying capacity, or denoting a passive quality equal to that may be, or worthy of being, what the preceding verb or noun expresses, ard C xix ] formed by adding the final particle able (eVl); as ans-wer, answerable: to move, moveable; to abolish, abolishable; sometimes by changing ate into able ; as in abominable, from to abominate, &c. &c. Material Adjectives, or those denoting the matter out of which any thing is made, are usually formed by adding en (n) to the substantive ; as from oak, oaken; wood, wooden; gold, golden, Szc. OF VERBS. It cannot be doubted that Verbs are some times derived from substantives, ad- jectives, and even from adverbs; as from the substantive salt, comes to salt ; from the adjective warm,£o warm; and from the adverb forward, to forward. Some- times they are formed by lengthening the vowel, or softening the consohaut ; as from giass, to graze; glass, to glaze; brass, to braze , &c. Sometimes by ad- ding the termination en ('n) to the substantive or adjective • as from strength, to strengthen ; length, to lengthen ; short, to shorten ; wide, to widen, &c. OF ADVERBS. Adverbs of quality or likeness are usually formed by adding the termina- tion ly iiy) to the positive adjective; as wise ; wisely; foolish., joolishly ; sinful, sinfully; base, basely; virtuous, virtuously, &c. In which case it seems in import equal to after the manner of what the preceding word expresses ; or in the manner or force and value of the preceding word. Of the INSEPARABLE PARTICLES un, dig, mis, &c. These inseparable prefixes in composition all include the negative particle not, besides their peculiar signification. The particle un (tin) always signifies privation, that is, the absence or want of something that either was or ought to be ; as unmerciful, unkind, unsteady, &c. In words derived from the Latin, the particle in (m) is the same as un, as ingratitude, inactive, incomplete, &c. And sometimes it is an intensive par. tide, and then it signifies very, or very much, &sintent, or very earnest, 6cc. Sometimes, also, in words borrowed from the French, instead of in we use the French particle en (en), when it is not privative, but it intimates that the thing is inherent in another, is caused in it, oris tending to a junction. En be- comes el before /, and em before b, m, or p, and er before r. The n of in is likewise changed into l,m, andr, according to the initial consonant of the word to be annexed ; hence il, im, ir, instead of in ; as in illegal, immodest, zrregu* lar, &c. Note — The particle un is always privative, en never ; in sometimes pri- vative and sometimes not ; yet in verbs it is seldom ever privative, but often in participles and other words. The particle dis (dis), usually signifies some contrariety ; as honour, rfij- honour; like, dislike; grace, disgrace, &c. ; in which this prefix reverses the meaning of each word annexed to it ; or denotes the contrary of what each word primitively implies. The particle mis (mts) usually signifies wrong, or error ; as to mistake, or take wrong, otherwise than it is ; to misuse, or me ill, or otherwise than we ought, Lq.

ENGLAND IS that part ot Great Britain, which is contiguous to the southern ar.d eastern, ocean. If we include Wales, which lies on the west side of the island, it is nearly of a triangular form, with some irregularities, between the 50th and 55th degrees of north latitude, and between the 2d degree of east and the 6th degree of west longitude; and is about 400 miles in length from north to south, and in some parts towards the south about 350 in breadth, but in the north part, where it first joins to Scotland, is scarcely 80 miles, and even that is gradually contracted almost to an angular point at Berwick upon Tweed. The German ocean bounds it on the east, the English channel on the south, and the Irish sea or St. George's channel on the west. On the north-west Sol way frith, which falls into the Irish sea below Carlisle, separates it from Scotland ; and the course of the rivers Liddei and Tweed m a north-east direction to Berwick, is the boundary of the two kingdoms now united under the name of Great Britain. Of its ancient inhabitants our accounts are very imrerfect, before the arrival of Julius Cczsar ; but the southern paits were then full of people, aud, from the names of the different tribes, it seems highly p obable, that they had emi- grated from various parts of Gaul, and that each coiony, as it settled into some connected form of government, preserved the memory of their origin by this measure. Comparing the description ef Gaul by Cassar, with the names of these colonies, we can have little doubt in concluding, that the ancient Britons came from Gaul. The climate of England is more variabJ ? than almost any other on the face of the globe of equal extent. Surrounded almost by the ocean, clouds are continually forming in the vicinity from exhalaions of vapours ; and no place being distant from the sea moie than 130 miles, the greatest uncertainty of weather naturally follows, i he sea coasts, from fogs and damps, are subject to agues and pu- trid fevers; whilst the inland parts, which are more elevated, especially the mountainous districts, are not only more fully exposed to the extremes of heat and cold, but to sudden and heavy rains, Which produce, rheumatisms, &c. The natural attraction of those elevated parts causes the clouds to acquire a motion that way : and when, from their agitated state, though by this time more strongly condensed, the enveloped properties are disturbed by interrup- tion from the mountains, the rains descend with more or less violence as the agitation has been excited, or as the quantity of moist particles collected in those clouds. And as the soil of these districts is usually of a lighter texture, more liable to be dried up, and in* itself less fertile, this naturaf disadvantage is in a great degree compensated by the more frequent returns of these genial showers than in the level plains where they have less need of them, from the possession of a deeper soil. Hence, probably, no country in the world, of equal extent, produces so much essential sustenance for man and beast; and that we have justly to boast of continual verdure. The extent of England has been estimated at about 50,2*0 square miles, and 32,172,800 statute acres; and the population of England alone has been lately { 324 ] estimated at 8,331 ,424, less than four acres to each individual ; and of these the city of London and county of Middlesex are more than one tenth part. As a manufacturing country also, the produce is beyond all calculation. England is divided into 40 counties or shires; and, since the Norman con- quest, for the distribution of justice, into six circuits, to each of which two judges are appointed twice a year, except in the northern circuit; the four northern counties are only visited in the summer. Local districts also, having peculiar jurisdiction by grant or charter from the crown, have power of admi- nistering justice in various cases. The religion of the kingdom is episcopal ; and the established church is governed by two archbishops and twenty bishops in England, and four in Wales, besides the bishop of Sodor and Man ; but the last does not sit in the house, of peers. About sixty archdeacons also are appointed to certain districts, to aid the bishops in the government of the church ; and in some dioceses rural deans continue to be appointed annually, to superintend and report the state of the ecclesiastical fabrics, &c. within their respective deaneries. WALES IS situate on the western side of England, on the Irish sea, being separated from England by irregular county boundaries, nearly from north to south from near Chester to Cardiff on the Bristol channel, having part of Cheshire, Shropshire, Herefordshire, and Monmouthshire contiguous on the east. On that side, which is longest, it may be about 130 miles; and, in breadth, from east to west, from 40 to 100 miles. The inhabitants anciently were the remains of those Britons who escaped the destruction of the Roman invaders, and, from their mountainous situation, long held an independent possession. In climate, it is nearly similar to the mountainous parts of England, of which it has a prooortionably greater quantity, and consequently is less productive in the necessary sustenance of its people. Its extent has been estimated at about 8,125 square miles; and its statute acres at 5,200,000. Its recent population was 541,546, nearly ten acres to each individual. It is divided into North and South Wales, each having six counties; and, for administration of justice, including Cheshire, is divided into four Grand Sessions, to which some of the leading counsel of England are appointed, and preside as judges twice a year. la ecclesiastical concerns, it is the same as England, and has four bishops.' SCOTLAND IS situate, as we have stated, to the north of England, and is on all sides washed by the sea, except from Carlisle to Berwick, where it is separated by two rivers, for about 70 miles, or very little more. Generally estimating, it i% about 280 miles from north to south, independent of the Orkney islands to the northward, but is scarcely 200 in breadth any where, without including the large islands west of it, and in many places not 100. It is usually divided into the northern and southern inhabitants, of which the river Tay is the limit, making the former part much the largest. The northern part has only thirteen counties, and larger ; the other twenty-one counties, which are smaller. It is also often divided into Highlands and Lowlands ; the latter of which affect the En- glish language and habit, but the former, being more rude and barbarous, though gradually conforming to English manners, still retain much of the Irish. — Their parliament is now incorporated with the British; but they still retain their Courts of Session and Justiciary, and other establishments for administration of justice, according to their former laws,— We meet with but few continental [ 325 J names, as emigrating colonies, before the time of the Homans. The Picts in- habited the northern part of the island of Britain, consisting of two nations principally ; but, after the Scots obtained possession, it was divided into seven parts. The air is more temperate, even in Scotland, than in similar latitudes on the continent. The sea breezes contribute hignly to this; and the constant winds prevent stagnation, so that epidemic diseases are seldom known, and vegetation is more luxuriant than might have been expected. Yet it is mountainous, as it recedes from the ocean ; and the produce of cattle is more attended to than that of tillage, for which the soil is less genial than in England. Yet a spirit of improvement has more recently been diffused among the inhabitants ; which is abundantly manifest on the ri< her soils contiguous to the friths. From the extreme irregularity of this part of Britain, it may be difficult to ascertain its extent ; but, including its numerous islands on its north and west, it may be taken at 30,000 square miles, and 10. 200,000 st'iu'e acres. The po- pulatiou was estimated recently at 1,052,370, but perhaps it maybe nearer 1,700,000 Though the episcopal religion long nourished here, their established kirk is now presbyterian. IRELAND Is a detached island, separated from the south west parts of Scotland, Eng- land and Wales, by the Irish sea, and projects farther west into the Atlantic ocean than any other part of Europe. From the north-east to the south west, which is the longest direction, it exceeds 300 miles; and from east to west th& breadth is generally 180 miles, and in some places less. As an island it partakes so much of the genial nature of England, that it needs only common industry to render it extremely productive in all the comforts of life ; and, having fewer mountains, and possessing a rich soil, whee industry and science are certain of reward. We may'estimate its extent therefore at about 40,000 square mi es, and 26,880,000 statute acres. The population has been estimated at 4,000,000. be- ing nearly 6 acres and 3 quarters to each individual. Hence, by cultivation, Ireland, as having fewer barren tracks than the other British possessions, is capable of affording abundant supplies to England. — It is divided into four pro- vinces, each of which contains several counties. The estab ished relieion is that of the church of England ; and it is governed by 4 archoishops and 1« bishops. The parliament is now incorporated with the British; but they retain all their law courts, and other establishments for the distribution of justice. The government of all these united kingdoms is a mixture of monarchy, aristocracy, and democracy. Though the executive power is vested solely iu the king, who appoints the great officers of state, and many inferior magistrate* in the kingdom : the legislative power resides jointly in the king, the lords, and commons, assembled in parliament.
