 About 25 years ago, when this country and all the. 
 nations of Europe were living in peace, the English 
 language began to be much sought after, and studied. 
 Gentlemen from every part of the Continent, but 
 particularly from France and Germany, almost daily 
 arrived here to be instructed in it, and for the space of 
 ten years I possessed my share of the labor, and 
 advantages. To teach the grammatical part of our 
 language was an easy task ; but to bring a native 
 of Germany, or a Frenchman, to a just and agreeable 
 pronunciation of the English tongue, was in the be- 
 ginning a Herculean labor. This gave rise to the plan 
 pursued, and afterwards published in my " Scheme for 
 a French and English Dictionary ;" the sale of which 
 was at first rapid ; but ceased entirely when the French 
 Revolution, and consequent wars took place. On 
 account of a similar difficulty which every French 
 master in this country found and complained of ?

 the bringing of English pupils, to a just articulating, 
 and pronouncing the French tongue, I wished one 
 or other of them to try the same method, and com- 
 pose a correspondent work for the students of that 
 language. The task or labor, however, it would seem, 
 was too great for them ; because every one to whom I 
 made application, declined it. Having paid much 
 attention to the pronunciation of French in two excur- 
 sions to Paris, I ventured upon the work myself, and 
 by the assistance of a native at my side, went twice 
 through " the Dictionary of the Academy", arranging 
 and classing every useful word. The manuscript has 
 now lain by me for many years, and beginning to fear 
 it would be lost to the world, I lately showed it 
 to some good judges. They all advised an immediate 
 publication, and encouraged by their favorable judg- 
 ment, I have ventured upon the arduous task. 
 
PREFACE. 
 
 It is not good for Man to be alone. We are social creatures, 
 and almost all our comfort in this world depends upon our 
 connection with each other. It must be obvious to every one, 
 that this intercourse began, and can alone be maintained, 
 through the medium of language, spoken, or written ; which is 
 nothing else but a combination of sounds, and letters to express 
 our thoughts, and wishes. In the opinion of many it were 
 much to be desired, for the peace, and improvement of 
 mankind, that there was but one language in the world ; or 
 at least that some ingenious person could be found, 
 with such ability and influence, as to invent, and form one 
 which the major part of every civilized country would agree 
 to learn. Until this be brought about, every man of 
 learning, and every merchant, or traveller, will find it 
 both their duty, and interest to acquire the knowledge of 
 as many different languages as they conveniently can. An 
 uniformity of speech, we have reason to believe, existed, and 
 did prevail throughout the Antediluvian world ; but in how far 
 this tended to the felicity of its inhabitants, or to the advance- 
 ment of the Arts and Sciences, we are left in the dark. The 
 only authentic record that we have, dwells chiefly upon their 
 
Vlll PREFACE. 
 
 impiety and wickedness. But, from the same sacred authority 
 we learn, that for some time after the Deluge this uniformity of 
 language continued ; for even in the days of Nimrod, the first 
 king of Babylon, we are expressly told (Gen, 11th. 1.) " the 
 whole earth was of one language and of one speech.*' Whether 
 we attribute the building of Babel, to the vanity and pride 
 of man — to a desire of safety from the apprehension of a 
 second flood, or (as a learned prelate of our own country 
 has attempted to show) from an idolatrous disposition — it 
 appears clear from Scripture that the Almighty was displeased 
 with the enterprise ; as he certainly punished the attempt, by 
 one of the greatest calamities that ever befel the human race. 
 From the confusion of tongues, relations and friends must have 
 been separated — many useful arts, handed down from their 
 original inventors, would be lost — and by reason of the in- 
 ability to remove or explain away, imaginary insults to the bulk 
 of the people, wicked and ambitious men had it greatly in their 
 power to rouse and hurry on their neighbours, and descendants, 
 to mutual invasions, and bloody wars. These inconveniences, 
 or rather mischievous engines, in the hands of cruel and 
 designing usurpators, have been severely felt in all succeeding 
 ages, and hence the Desideratum of one general, or universal 
 language. 1 have long been of opinion that only two are 
 necessary in the present day for all the purposes of social 
 civilized life — I mean the English and the French languages. 
 The former of these, by the blessing of God upon our arms and 
 commerce, has of late been diffused over a great part of the 
 habitable globe. It is the vernacular tongue of North 
 America, and in most of the West India islands. It is making 
 rapid progress through the peninsula of Asia, and extend- 
 ing itself to the remotest countries of the southern hemisphere. 
 It bids fair to be soon, almost an universal tongue. The 
 
PREFACE. ix 
 
 grammar is of all others the most 'simple and natural. 
 The pronunciation alone is difficult. To render this more 
 easy to Foreigners, has been the laborious task of a former 
 volume, in which the author, by a new method, presumes 
 to promise that a gentleman from Russia, Germany, or even 
 France, shall acquire the pronunciation of English, although 
 not with the tone, yet with all the exactness of a Native. 
 For more than a century past, our neighbours upon the con- 
 tinent have been indefatigable in their endeavours to extend 
 the knowledge and use of the French tongue. The labors of 
 the Academy, more especially instituted for the perfection and 
 polishing of the language, have been greatly promoted by 
 the laudable efforts of their countrymen of every description, 
 whether learned or unlearned, and the success of their united 
 exertions has been equal to their fondest wishes and hopes ; 
 for the French is now spoken at all the courts, and in every 
 polite circle, throughout Europe. It is taught in all our 
 Academies, and boarding schools, and forms a necessary 
 and distinguishing part of a British education. The gram- 
 matical part of the language is certainly very difficult. Every 
 learner must be much embarrassed, in studying the use of 
 their articles ; in learning the arbitrary genders of the nouns ; 
 in the different placing of the adjectives ; and varied 
 meanings of words and phrases arising from their arrangement 
 or position. But notwithstanding these difficulties it is well 
 known that there are among us many proficients in the French 
 tongue. From great attention in the teachers, and a long 
 continued application of their pupils, we find several young 
 gentlemen and ladies come from school with a very considerable 
 knowledge, both in the reading and speaking part. Their 
 pronunciation, however, (generally speaking) it must be ac- 
 knowledged, is very inaccurate ; and hence perhaps arises the 
 
X PREFACE. 
 
 difficulty which parents and guardians have, to get young 
 people of either sex to speak, or read, in company. It is 
 alleged by way of excuse for the French master, that sup- 
 posing an English mouth incapable of articulating some of 
 their sounds, he permits his pupil to begin and go on with 
 an imperfect pronunciation of them, until a habit be acquired, 
 which it is almost impossible afterwards to conquer, or do 
 away. Their first and constant care should certainly be to 
 make their scholars perfectly acquainted with every French 
 sound not found in our language ; and never puffer them 
 slovenly to pass over a word, the component parts of which 
 they do not accurately pronounce. What a difference would 
 this make in their speaking and (viva voce) reading ? we should 
 then, I hope, no longer find it so hard to make young people 
 show their proficiency in the language ; and through life, when 
 they either spoke, or read aloud, they would be completely 
 understood, as well as listened to with approbation and pleasure. 
 With this view has the following work been composed ; 
 and it may be used as a spelling book — as an advantageous 
 introduction, or as a pronouncing Dictionary, to be consulted 
 upon all needful occasions ; and to this end, in the 
 
 1st place, every simple vocal sound in the French language 
 is brought forward, and to the smallest shade of difference 
 distinctly marked. 
 
 2dly. The consonants are introduced in their usual order, 
 and a very few rules given in two pages, without any exceptions 
 by which their articulation is ascertained. 
 
 3dly. The whole pure monosyllables of the language are 
 classed in twenty different tables, agreeably to their several 
 shades of vocal sound, and so as that when the first word in 
 every column is known, the others cannot be mistaken. By 
 this method, words spelt in the same manner, and by many 
 
PREFACE. XI 
 
 pronounced alike, are clearly distinguished ; Ex. 
 
 Manne (3d sound) manna, may be readily distinguished, 
 from manne (5th sound) a basket, 
 
 tache (3d.) task from tache (5th.) a stain. 
 classe (3d.) class — chasse (5th.) hunting, 
 age (3d.) age— cage (5th.) cage, 
 chere (6th. sound) cheer — cher (8th.) dear, 
 reine (6th.) a queen — peine (8th.) trouble, 
 Lis (11th.) a lily— lit (12th.) a bed, 
 grive (11.) a thrush — rive (12.) a bank, 
 paume (13.) palm (hand)— pomme (14.) an apple, 
 cote (13.) the coast, rib — cote (14.) petticoat, 
 nue (15.) a cloud — uu (16.) naked, 
 du (15.) due — du (16.) art. of the, 
 leurre (17-) decoy — leur(18.) pro. their, 
 veuve (17.) a widow — neuf (18.) new, 
 moue (19-) wry face — mout (20.) must, new wine, 
 - moule (19.) a muscle — moule (20.) a model, mould. 
 4thly. In the Hid. chapter there is brought forward, and in 
 the same order, every other species of monosyllable, as well 
 such words as end with le, and re, as those which are certainly 
 composed of two vocal sounds, but so united as to make only 
 one syllable, and commonly called a diphthong. 
 
 Words of this description will be found from p. 30 to page 
 39 inclusive, beginning with 1st. sound as in amble, pace, 
 3. cable, cable, 4. dartre, ring-worm, 5. acre acre, 6. maitre 
 master 7. craindre to fear, 8. aigle an eagle, 9. cercle, a circle, 
 10. cedre a cedar, 11. vivre food, 12. bible the bible, 13. oncle, 
 uncle, 14. noble, noble 15. tumble humble, 16. buffle buffalo, 
 17. fet&refelt or skin, 18. peuple, people, 19. coudre to sew, 
 20. double, double, proceeding to 
 
 1. diphthong Taille &c. size, 2. viande, meat, 3. ai/, garlick 
 
Xii PREFACE. 
 
 4. piaffe strutting, 5. biais, bias, 6. trei//e, a vine arbor 7- miel

 18. suie 5oo?, 19. Iui fo, him, 20. pouacre, ^SMy, 21. foue? 
 a whip, 22. fouie raking up, 23. oui, yes. 
 
 othly. The IV th. chapter treats of Dissyllables where all 
 words, whose vocal sound is the same, are collected together, 
 and arranged as formerly under twenty sections ; and that 
 every difficulty may be removed, the correspondent figures 
 are placed over the first word of each class. By this mean 
 the first syllable (as in the following words) is distinguished, 
 and their true pronunciation pointed out.

 thly. In the Vth chapter such dissyllables as have diphthongs 
 either in the first, or last syllable, are arranged in a similar 
 manner, so that by keeping in mind, or looking back to, the 
 several classes of this species of words, there will be little 
 difficulty in finding out the true pronunciation : thus, 
 
 Taill-an£ sm. edge (1st diphthong) vail!-an£ a. valiant (3d 
 diphth.) fian-ce a. betrothed (2d diphthong) piaf-fer to strut 
 (4th diphthong) fiere-men£ ad. proudly (5th diph.) veill-ee f.

 foliage filth diph.) miau-ler to mew (12th diph.) viol-er to 
 violate (13th diph.) cloi-trer to cloister (14th diph.) poiv-rer 
 to pepper (1.5th diph.) join-te a. jointed (16th diph.) diur-nal 
 m. a daily prayer book (17th diph.) suin-ter v. to drop (18th 
 diph.) puiss-ance f. power (19th diph.) boui//-an£ a. boiling 
 (20th diph.) fouett-er v. to whip (21st diph.) and last syll. 
 of bab-ouin m. an ape (22d diphthong). 
 
 7thly. From the VI. and following chapters (containing words 
 from three, to eight syllables inclusive) a new method is pursued. 
 All words that rhyme with each other are brought near, and 
 classed together ; and the sound of the vowels determined 
 
XIV 
 
 PREFACE. 
 
 by a rule almost without an exception ; viz. when the vowel 
 terminates the divided syllables (the soft sound of c and g 
 not coming after) it hath its long sound ; but when a conso- 
 nant (not mute) closes the syllable, the vowel almost always 
 has its short sound. According to this rule, the quantity 
 of the first syllable in the following words may easily be 
 known.

 What hath now been advanced may be all that is necessary 
 for an introduction to the following work; and it might be 
 remarked in general that such a method of procedure is 
 both natural and rational. May we not then hope that every 
 French teacher who shall be prevailed on to adopt, and follow 
 it, will find to his entire satisfaction that his pupil not only 
 arrives at a just pronunciation sooner and better ; but from 
 the several terminations often fixing the genders of the substan- 
 tives, he will more easily acquire what every foreigner finds 
 exceedingly difficult, a general knowledge of that department 
 of French Grammar. 
 
 Lastly, should any one be desirous of composing in rhyme, 
 there is not (in the author's opinion) any book, in the French 
 language, so much needed, or better calculated to assist his 
 efforts. '

 The whole number amounts but to 25, and yet these letters 
 are to represent not less than 38 different sounds, and articula- 
 tions, as will be seen in the prosecution of this work. To 
 remedy this deficiency, various contrivances have been fallen 
 upon — letters have been combined — different marks placed over 
 the vowels — and numberless rules and directions given. In 
 order to simplify the present method, we shall only avail our- 
 selves of the Roman and Italic characters — the authorised and 
 accustomed accents — and subjoin a very few rules, as much as 
 may be, without any exceptions. 
 
 III. The pure and simple vowel-sounds in the French language, 
 
 whether long or short, may be reduced to txventy. 
 
 E, G, P, T, V, is marked either thus, bey, sey, dey, &c. or bay, say, day, 
 &c. leading to the sound of the English long a in may, make, which is 
 certainly much more open than the French 6 masculine, as in bont6 {good- 
 ness). The learner is therefore directed to pronounce these letters a small 
 degree more open than the last syllables of Ba-by, La-cy, &c. The Edinburgh 
 pronunciation of these letters gives the sound precisely. 
 
3 
 
 Five shades in the pronunciation of A. 
 
 ] . As in anse (handle) nearly the aw in Eng. word Law. 
 
 2. . * quane? {when) the same sound, only shorter. 
 
 3. a me (.sow/) found in the Edinburgh pron. of the word 
 
 balm. 
 4. larme (tear) the same as the vocal part of English 
 
 word harm. 
 
 5. — — dame (lady) a shade more open than Eng. word dam. 
 
 Also five in that of e. 
 
 6. As in raeme (same) more open than ay in the word 
 
 pray-er. 
 
 7. — — mes (my) the last sound, but shorter. 
 
 8. bel (handsome) not exactly the English word bell; 
 
 perhaps one shade nearer to the former sound, or as 
 
 English may, quickly pronounced. 
 9. me (me) almost mute, nearly as the last syllable in 
 
 the word o-ver. 
 10. de (thimble) pron. nearly as the last syllable in la-dy. 
 
 N. B. e, at the end of words without an accent, is mute, and 
 before m or n, nasal, has the sound of a, as in French word 
 qwand (when), but before double mm, or ?/«,has sometimes the 
 sound of a, as in dame (lady), which will be known either by its 
 class, or word preceding. 
 
 I, i, has a long and a short sound. 
 
 11. Long as in lie (dregs) the same as Eng. word lea, or as 
 
 in field. 
 
 12. Short as in mil (thousand) a little nearer the foregoing sound 
 
 than in the Eng. word mill. 
 
 N. B. ?', before m and n, nasal, has a sound resembling the 
 Eng. syllable aing. 
 
 * The difference between ang and ong English, and an and on French, 
 seems to be this — in English, the root of the tongue presses strongly against 
 the palate, but in pronouncing the French an or on it never touches. 
 
4 
 
 * O has two sounds also. 
 
 13. Long as in cote (coast), more open than the Eng. sound 
 
 in the word coat. 
 
 14. Short as in bonne (good), sounded as the first syllable in 
 
 the Scottish word bon-ny. 
 
 V hath two sounds likewise. 
 
 15. Long as in fitf (cask). No Eng. sound at all like it. The 
 
 u in muse, as pron. at Edinburgh and Paris, gives the 
 vowel sound exactly. 
 J 6. Short as in but (aim), pron. as the Edinburgh interjection, 
 in the phrase hut, man. 
 
 Eu, these letters combined, has also two sounds. 
 
 17. Long as in jeune (fasting). No sound entirely similar 
 
 either in the English or Scottish language ; the drawling 
 Lothian pronunciation of the sixth month comes nearest 
 to it, giving j its French pronunciation. 
 
 18. The same sound, but shorter, as in jeune (young), 
 
 N. B. eu preceding r, has a sound rather more open than 
 either of these — example, beurre (butter), which Mr. Tardy 
 has distinguished as a third sound of eu. 
 
 Ou, composed also of two letters, hath a long and short 
 sound. 
 
 19. Long as in boue (dirt), exactly the English double 00 , 
 
 when long. 
 &0. Short as in cou (neck), or coude (elbow) nearly as in 
 the English verb cou/d. 
 
 * This letter, followed by r at the end of a word, very often acquires 
 a long broad sound, nearly resembling that in the English word Lord, and 
 which Mr, Tardy adopts as his third O. 
 
IV. Having thus ascertained the simple vowel-sounds, we 
 may proceed to lay down a concise table of French consonants, 
 mingling therewith a few observations, whicli may be needful 
 to explain their nature, and efficacy, in the subsequent part of 
 this work. 
 
 B, pron. as in the Eng. word bob. Before s and t, in the 
 
 middle of a word, like p. ; Ex. observer (observe), 
 obtenir (obtain), as if spelt op-ser-ver, op-te-nir. 
 
 C, c, before e, i, y, pron. as s in see ; as also with a cedi//e, 
 
 or comma, before a, o, u; Exam, ca (here); other- 
 wise, before these last three vowels, it has the power 
 of k. 
 ch, pron. like sh in shall, or ch in chaise. When this com- 
 bination has the sound of k, the h will be printed in 
 the Italic type thus, ch. 
 
 D, d, pron. commonly as in the syll. dad; d final, before a 
 
 vo\Ajel, or h mute, has the articulation of t; Ex. 
 Grand-orateur, pron. grant-orateur. Where it is 
 silent, it may be put in Italics. 
 
 F, pron. as in the first syllable of English word fifty. 
 
 G, g, before e, i, y, is sounded like s in the English words 
 
 vision, leisure; and before a, o, u, as in the words 
 
 gag, go, &c. 
 gn, in one syllable, has a sound nearly resembling the Eng. 
 
 letter n, with the power of y Cons, after it; thus the French 
 
 word signe is pron. seen-y, or as gn in the adopted 
 
 word Bagnio. G, before ui, ue, and in Italics, has the 
 
 sound of g in the Eng. word guard. 
 H, h, when aspirated, will be put in Roman; When mute, in 
 
 Italics. 
 J, j, like the soft sound of g, without the mixture of d in the 
 
 English pronunciation, or as s in leisure. 
 L, 1, as in lill, lilly ; single /, at the end of a word often silent, 
 
 when so, put in the Italic type. 
 
II, preceded by i 9 is often liquid, or moui//e ; Ex. fille ; 
 
 when so, it is pron. as if written fee-ye, and both 
 
 printed in Italics. 
 M, m, and N, n, when they begin a word, or syllable, have their 
 
 natural sound, as in man and nan ; but when they close 
 
 a word, or syllable, they have generally a nasal sound 
 
 resembling ang or ong, except they are put to mark the 
 
 syllable short, a vowel following in the next; Ex. 
 
 am-ande (almond), un-an-ime, unanimous. 
 P, p, as in pip ; when silent will be put in the Italic type ; ph 
 
 in Roman characters has the sound of f. 
 Q, q, has the sound of k ; when silent always in Italics. 
 R, r, has one uniform sound, as in the English words ere, err; 
 
 when not sounded, (any difficulty occurring) put in 
 
 Italics. 
 S, s, beginning a word, and in the middle, before and after a 
 
 consonant, is sounded hard, as in safe, sister; but 
 
 between two vowels, and before b, d, it is pronounced 
 
 as z, or as the English s in was ; at the end of a word, 
 
 and middle too in Italics, it is mute. 
 T, t, as in tit, when in the Roman characters ; but silent, when 
 
 in the Italic type, 
 ti, after s and x, and when doubled, has its nasal sound ; Ex. 
 
 bastion, mixtion, MattAias : but in other cases like s, 
 
 or soft c; Ex. martial, action. 
 V, v, as in the Engl, syllable viv, and never silent. 
 X, x, a double consonant, has two sounds, hard like ks ; Ex. 
 
 axiome ; and soft like gs ; Ex. exiger, exhorter : to 
 
 prevent mistakes, the first will be put in Roman, the 
 
 second in Italics. 
 Z, z, sounded for the most part as its soft sound in English ; 
 
 when silent, put in the Italic type. 
 
CHAPTER II. 
 
 In zohich almost every simple, and authorised monosyllable of 
 the Language, is introduced in Classes, agreeably to their 
 several shades of Vocal Sound; and the Articulation of the 
 Consonants determined by the foregoing Marks, and Rules. 
 
 Having now gone through every simple Vocal Sound in the 
 French Language, and given Directions for the Pronunciation 
 of the Consonants in their various Positions, the reader, it is 
 presumed, will be prepared to pronounce, with ease, all the 
 Monosyllables in which these Sounds occur, when properly 
 introduced, and arranged, under their respective Tables.

 * Tlie nasal consonants produce so great an alteration upon the preceding 
 vowel as to make it difficult to determine exactly to what class the sound be- 
 longs. I have put the following words of this table here, persuaded that the 
 vocal sound comes nearer to the e open than to any sound of the French i. 
 From the tongue not touching the palate in the j>ron. of the nasal n it has the 
 appearance of a vowel, and the words have the similitude of monosyllabic 
 diphthongs.

 * When in Paris many years ago, and attending perhaps too nicely to the 
 different shades in pronunciation, I made a distinction between the vocal 
 sound in the French words veine and belle, and so classed them separately. 
 Mr. Tardy marks them both with the same letter, short e. To avoid too 
 great nicety I have done the same, and put mai, &c. at the head of the 
 column, certainly less open than mais, but. N. B.

 CHAPTER III. 
 
 Including every other species of monosyllable, as well as a 
 regular list of those words, which, according to most Gram- 
 marians, are denominated diphthongs^ 
 
 SECTION I. 
 
 Having gone through what may be called the pure mono- 
 syllables of the French language, I shall begin this chapter with 
 introducing, in the order already laid down, those words which 
 terminate with le and re ; and which, by some authors, are called 
 monsters in grammar, but in the opinion of others, form a most 
 beautiful link in the chain betwixt words of one, and words of 
 two syllables. 
 
 1st Sound. 
 
 Amble m. amble, pace 
 semble (il) it seems 
 tremble m. aspin-tree.

 * N. B. There is an evident difference between this termination in French 
 and in English. In English, the word centre is as much a word of two 
 syllables as en-ter or cen-ser, the short e being sounded between t and r ; but 
 in the pronunciation of the French words centre and entre, after the nasal 
 sound of «, the t and r are joined as closely as possible, or pronounced as 
 we do when they begin a word or syllable. 
 
 t These two words, although marked long by Mr. Tardy, are pronounced 
 short by Parisians.

 SECTION II. 
 
 We come now to the second species of words proposed to be 
 introduced in this chapter, which are commonly called Diph- 
 thongs ; and here I may observe in general, that no word in 
 every language is less understood, nor is there any, concerning 
 the nature of which, there has been more disputation. The 
 Chevalier Sauseuil, in his most ingenious work, entitled, An 
 Analysis of French Orthography, (p. 41.) says, " there is not 
 one single diphthong to be found in the French language/' As 
 far as I can collect his meaning, he defines a diphthong to be, 
 
35 
 
 the union of two simple vocal sounds pronounced with an equal 
 measure of time allotted to each, and yet taking up no more in 
 the pronunciation than one simple long vowel. Upon the sup- 
 position that this is the only true definition of a diphthong, 1 do 
 not at present recollect one in either the French or Englisji 
 languages, except it be ou or ow, as pronounced in the English 
 words loud, cozv ; for i, as in smile ; oi, as in loin ; and u, as in 
 mule ; may be said to have their component parts pronounced 
 with unequal lengths. See 1st vol. or my Attempt, &c. p. 
 79. But as the prosecution of such a refined definition might be 
 too philosophical for a work of this nature, and lead us too far 
 from the old track, I shall here pursue a scheme of diphthongs, 
 warranted by the latest French grammarians ; and present the 
 scholar now with regular classes of monosyllables, in which 
 they are to be found.

 * The Us in this, and more especially in the foregoing Diphthong, being

 CHAP. IV.

 The Reader having been carried through those parts of Speech 
 which can have any claim to a monosyllable, and almost every

 we now proceed to the Dissyllables ; and here I would re- 
 commend that the Directions in chapter first may be re- 
 vised, and fixed in the memory. Observing the order already 
 established, this part of the book will be divided into twenty

 place the correspondent figures over the first word in each

 * A very nice ear will, I think, perceive a small difference in the sound of a 
 preceding r from any of the other consonants. On this account, as also to 
 lessen the size of the following section, I have ranged such dissyllables under 
 our 4th sound ; where it needs only to be observed that when a precedes 
 rr the sound of the syllable must be lengthened. 
 
 t The first syllable in this word is longer than in any of the others.

 CHAPTER VI 
 
 WORDS OF THREE SYLLABLES. 
 
 We are now come to the more difficult part of the work. 
 Hitherto with a proper arrangement, and by the assistance of 
 classes, and figures, we may have succeeded tolerably well ; but 
 in words of three, or more syllables, the transposition of the 
 letters is so numerous, that the same mode of procedure be- 
 comes altogether impracticable. Tn English, one is greatly 
 assisted by the accent, because if the accented syllable be dis- 
 tinctly, and audibly pronounced, the others are of less conse- 
 quence. The matter is widely different in the French languige. 
 Every division must be accurately marked, and sometimes there 
 will be found two, or three long syllables in the same word. 
 To ascertain the quantity of these syllables, will now be the 
 chief thing required. For our relief here, it may be observed, 
 that the vowels, henceforward, will hardly need to be considered 
 as having more than their long, and short sounds. Could we, 
 therefore, give a general rule by which this matter might be 
 determined, the difficulty would be in a great measure over- 
 come. I have long thought of a mode that will be attended 
 with very few exceptions ; namely, to divide every word so as 
 that when the syllable is long it ends with a vowel, and when it 
 is short, it terminates with a consonant. In some words, how- 
 ever, this manner of division, to such as have been accustomed 
 to the old method, may appear very awkward. Where this is 
 the case, we may either place the correspondent figure over the 
 syllable, or cause the word to follow one, or more, whose vocal 
 quality is determined by the aforesaid rule. The accents, or 
 marks over the vowels, will also be of great service here, and 
 the words so arranged as to rhime with each other ; the sec- 
 tions, following in their order, as under the fourth chapter. 
 
 N. B. As it may be already known that r in the infinitive of 
 Verbs of the first conjugation is never sounded, either by itself, 
 
w 
 
 or before a consonant, no care has been, nor will- be taken, to 
 put it always in italics. 
 
 The several terminations also being now ascertained, no more 
 than the first, and second word of each class may be particularly 
 marked. Diphthongal syllables likewise may be introduced in 
 the middle of words, without any fear of being mistaken. The 
 genders of substantives too may be determined by that of the 
 
 preceding word.

 CHAPTER VII. 
 WORDS OF FOUR SYLLABLES. 
 
 We may now suppose the Reader to be sufficiently acquainted 
 with all the Diphthongal Syllables. They need not therefore 
 be particularly marked when they occur in the beginning, or 
 middle of words. The direction given in the front of the last 
 Chapter, must now be strictly attended to, in order to know 
 whether the vowels have their long, or short sounds. But this 
 rule will not interfere with the useful, and universally used, 
 marks over a, e, e, e, i, 6, u, to point out the various sounds of 
 these Vowels.

 SECTION III. 
 
 Termination merit. 
 
 - ment, pre~dic-a-men? — ent (logic)

 * This adjective differing only in the pronunciation of the last syllable from 
 its corresponding substantive (the second word of the former Section) we may 
 for the future omit the one least in use. 
 
 t The words terminating with ant , ent, in this table might have been placed 
 in the foregoing, having the same quality of sound, as indeed hath also the 
 termination ment, but to my ear the endings in the 1st Section seem longer, 
 and the three together form a beautiful gradation,
