fmiffAas,
Spelling Books, as they are designed to communicate
instruction to youth, should be judicious in system, and,
if possible, perfect in Orthography.
A knowledge of our language requires a very considera-
ble portion of the time and intellectual labours of youth.
The ultimate success of these labours has an immediate
agency in the events, on which depend individual and
publick happiness ; hence the importance of facilitating
the means of youthful improvement. This is best ef-
fected by a judicious and methodical arrangement of the
principles to be acquired.
Much care and expense have been bestowed on this
work ; and, it is hoped, not without some improvements.
While it would appear invidious, in the author, to expose
the faults of other books, it might seem arrogant to urge
too confidently, the American Instructor on publick con-
sideration.
It must be obvious to every Parent and Teacher, that
elementary books, particularly those used in our common
schools, should be as cheap and as clear, and well digested
in system, as the nature of the subject will admit ; in
reference to this object, the work here offered to the pub-
iick is divided into two Books ; the Jlrst called the Child's
instructor, is accommodated to the wants of beginners;
the second, called the American Instructor, contains a
great collection of the difficult words of our language, and
borne plain, yet instructive reading lessons, and is suited
fo pupils of some advance in an education : by this division
the business of teaching is rendered more easy and pleas-
^jant, and that of learning more simple, and less expensive.
One of the most important points in the plan of a
Spelling Book is syllabication. Different authors have
followed different methods in dividing words into sylla-
bles ; the true object of which is to assist the learner in
rightly apprehending the exact pronunciation. Walker's
opinion on this subject is, that " the best and easiest rule
*3 420840
6
for dividing the syllables in spelling, is to divide them as
they are naturally divided in a right pronunciation, with-
out regard to the derivation of words, or the possible com-
bination of consonants, at the beginning of a syllable."
We make use of figures to represent the different vowel
sounds. Sometimes one letter takes the sound of an-
other ; in such cases, we use the particular letter which
will best represent the sound; for instance, the sound of
o, in love, is clearly indicated by the letter u, placed over
it. Letters are, therefore, placed over other letters, whether
vowels, consonants, or diphthongs, whose sounds they re-
present. In those instances, where the learner would be
liable to mistake the true sounds of c, g, s, they are collo-
cated into tables, and marked with the proper representa?
tive letter.
It will be observed, that the figures are in all instances
placed over the accented vowel, and that the letters have
no reference to accent, but are placed over their constitu-
ent letters, as they occur in the first word ; for example,
on the 48th page, c occurs in the penultimate syllable of
the word ascetiek, and is under s, its representative ; but
in the succeeding word, c is found in the last syllable, and
without any obscurity to the system. The use of these
es and letters, unquestionably, gives an easy guide to
correct pronunciation.
Words alike in syllables, accent, sounds, or termi-
n, are collected together. The difficult words in the
ris ure collected in columns for the learner.
md pronounce before reading; this practice will
very rau 8f in this new and unaccustomed i
The eh - of the language, and so
' the same, as appeared necessary
to form a Key, work arranged and numbered in
the beginning of the book : References are made to these,
by the use of figures; thus the figure, (0,) in the body
«it' the book, refers to the same figure, in the princi-
ples. Some clear and correct notions of the abstract prin-
ciples of our language are essential to the acquisition,
even of a common education ; and these are difficult to be
obtained, without system ; to promote which, as well as.
in general, the best means of cultivating the youthful mind,
has received the Author's patient and assiduous consider-
ation.
THE ELEMENTS
OF
1. The English Alphabet is composed of twenty-six
letters, viz : a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, 1, m, n, o, p, q,
r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z.
2. These are divided into vowels and consonants.
3. A vowel makes a perfect sound of itself, and is
formed by a continued effusion of the breath. The
vowels are a, e, i, o, u, to, and y.
4. Two vowels, forming but one syllable, are called a
diphthong, and three, a triphthong. They are the follow-
ing ; ae, ai, ao, au, aw, ay, ea, ee, ei, eo, eu, ew, ey, ia,
ie^io, oa, oe. oi, oo, on, ow. oy, ue, ui, uy, aye, eau, ewe,
ieu, iew, oeu, owe, uoi. (52.)
5. A consonant makes an imperfect sound of itself, and
is formed by an interruption of a vocal sound. The
consonants are, b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, 1, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v,
x, z. These are divided into mutes, semi-vowels, and
liquids.
6. The mutes make no sound without a vowel. They
are b, p, t, d, k, q, and c and g hard.
7. The semi-vowels make a sound without the concur-
rence of a vowel. They are/, v, s, z, x, g soft or j.
8. The liquids flow into, or unite easily with the mutest
They are I, m, n, r.
9. The consonants are again divided into sharp and
flat, simple and mixed. The sharp are p, f, t, s, 1c, e
hard. The flat are 6, v, d, z, g hard. The simple are
those that hold their own sound unmixed with any other :
as b, p, f, v, k, g. The mixed are those that have some-
times a hiss joined with them, and that mingle with the
sound of another letter not expressed, and thereby assume
a sound different from their own ; as t, in motio% like
moslwn. See p. 113.
10. There is another division of consonants, which
arises from the peculiar action of the orgaaa in forming
♦hem, viz : the labial?, dentals, gutturals, and nasals.
The labials are b,_p, f, v; the dentals are r, d, s, z, and
soft g or j ; the gutturals arc 1;, q, c, and g hard ; the
nasals are in, n, and ng. See p. 109.
Quantity and Quality of the Vowel Sounds.
11. In order to acquire a correct understanding of the
powers of letters, as they stand differently affected by
each other, it is necessary to consider the influence of
accent over the sounds of letters. Mr. Walker has very
justly remarked, that there is a relaxation or feebleness of
sound, which succeeds the accent, and which naturally
suffers the letters to slide into a different sound, a little
easier to the organs of pronunciation. Thus the first a
in cabbage, is pronounced distinctly with the true sound
of that letter, while the second a, goes into an obscure
sound bordering on the i short.
12. In the same manner a, e, i, o, and y, coming before
r, in a final unaccented syllable, go into an obscure sound,
very nearly to that of u short ; as martyr, pronounced
martur. See p. 31.
13. The consonants also are no less altered in their po-
sitions, than the vowels. The k and s, in the composition
of x, when the accent is on them, as in exercise, &.c. pre-
serve their strong and pure sound ; but when the accent is
on the second syllable, as in exact, &c. the x slides into the
duller and weaker sounds of g and z, which are easier to
he pronounced. See p. 118.
14. The soft c, the s, and t before a diphthong, slide
into the sound of sh, when the accent is on the preceding
syllable. Seep. 113.
A
15. A has four sounds. The first is a long open sound,
as a in larlc, spade, 6lc. All the vowels standing alone
under the accent, or ending an accented syllable, are long.
and can only be short, when followed by a consonant.
A is sometimes an exception, as in the last syllables of
mam-ma and fa-pa, where it is broad. -The vowels have
likewise the long sound, when followed by a single conso-
nant and c mute, tLsfate, &x. The exceptions are have,
urr. gapt , and bade, the past time of bid.
l(i. The second sound of A is short : as a in man.
17. The third sound of A is a long broad one, as a in
hall, it has always this sound when in the accented syl-
lable, and followed in that syllable by //, or one /; and
another consonant, except the mute labials;;, b,f and v.
The exceptions are mostly, words derived from the Arabic
and Latin languages ; as salve, Alps, &x. It has this
sound, when under the accent and preceded by qu; as
in quart.
18. The fourth sound is the broad or grave a; as heard
in tar. By Walker this sound of a is called the long
Italian c, and is inconsistently marked by the same figure
(2) he uses to represent the short sounds of e and u. This
sound of a is always found before r, in monosyllables ; as
tar, far, &c and before the liquids /, m; sometimes be-
fore If Ire, and generally before the sharp dental th, as
in bath, &x. In most instances, when the unaccented a
is final, it has the broad or short sound ; as in idea.
Irregular Sounds of A.
19. All the vowels, when not under the accent, fre-
quently deviate from their true sounds. A and o, par-
ticularly in a final syllable, not accented, have an obscure
sound, nearly like that of?/. See p. 44.
20. There are some words, in which custom has given
10 a, the short sound of e ; as any, many, says — pro-
nounced enny, menny, sez. See p. 96.
21. A in the numerous termination age, unaccented,
nearly approaches the sound of short i. The exceptions
to this rule are chiefly words of three syllables, accented
on the first ; as vassalage, equipage, &x. See p. 43.
It has sometimes the sound of short o; as in wash.
E.
22. E has two sounds. The first is the long sound, as
heard in me ; the second js the short sound, as heard in
bed, feel. E is always long when it ends a syllable, except
in especial, and a few other words, in which it is short.
Irregular Sounds of E.
23. This letter is distinctly sounded at the end of words
derived frc-m the Latin or Greek languages ; as epitome,
simile, &c but at the end of words purely English, it is
generally mute, or nearly so. It seems to retain an indis-
tinct sound, and the power of making long the preceding
vowel, in the same syllable separated by a single conso-
nant, as 7iieide, bide, &c.
24. The first e( in the words where, there, c'c;*and ne'er.
10
is pronounced like long a, as if written whan, thare, cier,
na'er.
25. Tlie e in her, is sounded like short u. It has the
same sound in all unaccented terminations before r, as
writer, reader, &.c. pronounced toritur, readur. The
same is true of final c, preceded by r, in an unaccented
syllable, as if it wore followed by r, as in lucre, theatre,
&c. pronounced lukur, theatur, &c. See p. 111.
26. In sergeant, and some other words, the first e is
sounded like a.
27. In yes, pretty, England, the e is pronounced like
short i ; and in a final unaccented syllable, it often slides
into the same sound, as faces. potts, women, pronounced
faciz, poitz, witnin. See p. 97:
I.
2S. This letter has two sounds. The first is a long
sound, as heard in the word time.
29. The second is a short sound, as hoard in bid.
30. When i ends the first syllable, and the accent is
on the second, commencing with a vowel, it is generally
Jong. When hi, tri, cki, cli, ti, or tri makes the first syl-
lable, and the accent is on the second, the i is generally-
long. The i is generally long in the terminations ide,
ifc, &,c. Tlie i is long in the last syllable, when the ac-
cent is on the last syllable but two. The i is generally
long in the accented terminations', ite, ire.
31. The i is generally short in ei.fi. mi, phi, pi, ph
si and ti, before the accent. The i is short in di b<
an accented syllable beginning with a consonant: it is
often short, when ending the accented syllable, and the
next following begins with e soft, or t.
* Irregular Sounds of I. .
32. When i ends an initial syllable, without the accent,
and the following syllable begins with a consonant, the i
takes the sound oft; as in dilate. In monosyllables, the
has often the sound of short e.
33. i or y preceded by g hard, or k, is sometimes pro-
nounced as if an e were inserted between the consonant
and the vowel, and faintly sounded; thus kind and sky
are pronounced keind and skey.
O.
34. Tlie letter n has four sounds. The first is a long
sound, as heard in tone.
11
35. The second is a short sound, as in not, or lot.
36. The third is a broad sound, as in or, or north.
37. The fourth is a sound corresponding to oo, as in move.
38. The o is generally broad before r, in monosyllables.
See p. 79.
Irregular sounds of O.
39. The letter o generally takes the sound of short u,
when succeeded by the liquids n, ?n, r, or the semi-vowels
i>, z, th ; as above, come, &c.
40. The o, sometimes takes the sound of broad u ; as
in woman ; sometimes of short i, as in women.
41. The o is generally suppressed in an unaccented
syllable when preceded by c, k, d, p, or s, and followed by
n. See p. 113.
U.
42. The letter u has three sounds. The first is a long
sound, as heard in tube.
43. The second is a short sound, as heard in sun.
44. The third is a broad sound, as heard in full.
Irregular Sounds of U.
45. When u is preceded by r, it takes the sound of oo ;
but this sound of u is never formed in words from the
learned languages.
4C. U has the sound of i in busy, business ; and the
sound of e, in bury.
47. Long u in the syllable ure, is generally sounded as
if a y preceded it ; but when it follows the soft buzzing s
and the accented syllable, it is sounded as it' zh preceded it.
W.
48. The natural sound of this letter is that of oo as heard
in too, &c. It has sometimes the irregular sound of
broad u as in allow. It is aspirated, when followed by h;
as when. Y.
49. The letter y has two sounds. The first is a long
sound ; as in rhyme, and is equivalent to long i.
50. The second is a short sound, as in system, and is
equivalent to short i.
Irregular sounds of Y.
51. The unaccented y, at the end of a syllable,Iike i,
in the same situation, takes the sound of long e ; thus,
vanity, pronounced vanitec. The only exception to this
\2
rule is, when /precedes y, in a final syllable, the y is then
long, as hi justify. The y, when used in the word my,
without emphasis, is pronounced like c short, (me.)
DIPHTHONGS.
52. A diphthong is two vowel sounds, united and ut-
tered by the same emission of breath, so as to form but
one syllable ; where two vowels are united and but one
of them sounded, it is not, strictly speaking, a diphthong,
and is therefore called an Improper Diphthong.
AE.
53. The diphthongs ac and oc are nearly out of use in
the English, being changed to e, but are retained in the
Latin language. This sound is generally like long c, when
under the accent ; but when in the first or last syllable,
unaccented, it is short.
AL
54. This diphthong has generally the sound of long a;
as in plait, (a fold of cloth,) and in said, (when an adjec-
tive,) but when said is a verb, the diphthong is like short
e, and rhymes with bed. See p. 77.
55. It is sometimes like short a ; as in plaid, raillery, &,c.
56. It is sometimes like short e ; as in again, &c.
57. It is like long i, in aisle.
58. When it is in a final unaccented syllable, the a is
tunk, and the i is pronounced short; as in mountain, &c.
As feebleness naturally succeeds force, so the vowels im-
mediately after the accent, take such sounds as require
the least exertion of the organs to pronounce them.
AO.
59. This diphthong occurs only in the word gaol, and
has the sound of long a.
AU.
60. The diphthong au has generally the sound of long
broad a ; as heard in ball, hall, &.c. See p. 79.
61. When this diphthong is followed by n and another
consonant, it takes the sound of broad a ; as heard in far,
&c. ; thus aunt, &,c. The only exceptions to this sound,
aj-e vaunt, avaunt ; in which words the diphthong has the
sound of long broad a. See p. 80.
62. This diphthong has the sound of long o in hautboy ;
13
of short o in caulifotver, laurel, laudanum ; and of long
a ; as in gauge.
A W.
63. The diphthong aw has always the long broad sound
of a, as heard in ball. See p. 79.
AY.
64. This diphthong has generally the sound of long a.
as in pay, &c. It has the sound of long e in the word
quay, as if written key. See p. 80.
65. A Y, like ai, coming immediately after the accent-
ed syllable, drops the first vowel ; thus, monday, captain,
are pronounced mondy, captin.
66. A Y has the sound of short e, in says. See p. 83.
EA.
67. The most frequent sound of the diphthong ea is
that of long c, as in yea. See p. 77.
68. It has frequently the sound of short e, as mjiead.
69. It has sometimes the sound of long a, as in swear.
70. This diphthong preceding r, sometimes takes a
sound nearly like short u. Its true sound is that of i be-
fore r, followed by another consonant ; thus, earth is pro-
nounced irlh.
71. EA is sometimes pronounced like broad a; as ins
heart ; and sometimes like short a ; as in vengeance.
EE.
72. The diphthong ee , in nearly all words, has a compress-
ed sound of long e. See p. 77.
73. It has the sound of short t, in been, pronounced
bin. See p. 80.
EI.
74. The most frequent sound of this diphthong, is that
of long a ; as in deign, feign, &,c. See p. 80.
75. EI has sometimes the sound of long e; as in
seize, &c.
76. It has but seldom the sound of short e ; as iff
heifer.
77. EI has the sound of long i ; as in height, &c.
78. When this diphthong is unaccented, (like ai,) it
drops the sound of the former vowel, and retains the sound
of short i ; as in forfeit, &c.
B
14
EO.
79. This diphthong is sometimes pronounced like short
e; as in leopard, &x. It has the sound of long e, in
people.
80. In Georgich, it has the sound of broad o; and in
yeoman and yeomanry, it has the sound of long o.
81. EO when unaccented has the sound of short u ; as
in surgeon, &ic. See p. 107.
82. It has sometimes, when unaccented, the sound of
short i; as in scutcheon, &lc. See p. 107.
EU.
83. This diphthong has the sound of long n, except
when it follows r, or r and silent h, where it sounds like
oo ; as in rheum.
EW.
84. The diphthong ew, is generally pronounced like
long u ; but when it follows /• or ch, it takes the sound of
oo ; as in brew, &,c. ; except in strew and strewn, in which
words and in some others, it has the sound of long o.
See p. 98.
EY.
85. When the accent is on the diphthong, it has the
sound of long a, except in key and ley, where it is sound-
ed like long e. See p. 80, 100.
86. EY, unaccented, is pronounced like ee, faintly
sounded; as in valley. The word survey is an exception,
and has the sound of long a. See p. 97.
87. This diphthong has the sound of short i ; as in
carriage, &lc.
88. IA in the terminations ian, ial, iard, and rate, form
but one syllable, still both vowels are sounded ; the former
has a sound similar to y, but so faintly and imperfectly
sounded, as not to make a distinct syllable.
IE.
89. This diphthong has generally the sound of long e .
as in chief, &lc. It has the sound of short c „• as in
friend, &c.
90. It has sometimes the sound of long i ; as in die,
&c. ; and sometimes of short i ; as in sieve.
91. IE coming after a liquid, frequently form two syl-
lables ; as in orient, &c.
15
92. IE, in an unaccented termination, has the sound of
e, which in this situation is sounded like u. The former
vowel, when it follows the accent, may be said to have
the sound of y ; thus brazier, is pronounced braze-yur.
IO.
93. When the accent is upon these vowels, they form
two syllables, as vi-o-lent ; but when unaccented, and pre-
ceded by s or t, the i is generally sunk, and the o pro-
nounced as it usually is in this situation, like short u ; if
these vowels are preceded by st, the t is sounded tsh, as
question, pronounced questshun. See p. 114.
94. This diphthong sometimes sinks the o, and the i
lakes the short sound ; as in cushion, pronounced cushin.
95. When these vowels occur in the termination ion.,
and are preceded by any of the consonants, but s or t,
although they make but one syllable, yet they are both
sounded separately, as in companion, pronounced compan-
yun. See p. 117.
OA.
96. This diphthong has generally the sound of long o.
It has the sound of long broad a, in broad, groat, abroad.
OE.
97. This diphthong, in all words derived from the
learned languages, has the sound of c, and comes under
the remarks on that vowel.
98. In doe, foe, &c. it has the sound of long o ; in
canoe, and shoe, of oo ; and in the verb does, it has the
pound of u. See p. 78.
OI.
99. The natural and general sound of this diphthong,
is that of broad o, and short i, as heard in voice. See p. 80.
100. The £ is sometimes sounded like short e; some-
times like long e, as in chamois. The i is long in choir.
OO.
101. This diphthong has generally a sound peculiar to
itself, like that heard in moon, bloom, room, &,c.
102. It has the sound of long o, in door, &c. ; of broad
v, in ivool, icood, &c. ; and of short u, in blood, &c.
OU.
103. The most frequent sound of this diphthong is
16
composed of broad o, and broad //, and is that heard in
bound. See p. 99.
104. It has sometimes the sound of long o ; as in
court, &lc.
105. It has the sound of long broad a, in fought : of
oo, in group ; of short u, in adjourn ; of broad u, in could,
and of short o, in lough — pronounced loch: See p. 80.
OW.
106. The sound of this diphthong is generally that of
broad o, and broad u, as heard in bound. It is found in
cow, clown, frown, &ic. See p. 97.
107. It has frequently the sound of long o ; as in row,
loio. OIF has always this sound, when in a final unac-
cented syllable ; as in sorrow.
OY.
108. For the sounds of this diphthong, see oi. See p. 99.
UA.
109. When the a is sounded, the u has the power of//',
and both are pronounced in one syllable : thus, antiquati
is pronounced antikwate. This sound always obtains,
when the diphthong is preceded by s. The // is some-
times nearly silent, retaining but a faint sound ; as in
guard.
UE. *
110. This diphthong coming after s, or q, and having
both vowels sounded, and forming but one syllable, has
«he // sounded like w ; thus conquest is pronounced cong-
kwest.
111. UE ending a final syllable, sinks the c, and ob-
tains the sound of long ?/ ; as clue, cue, &-c. See p. 78.
112. Sometimes the u is sunk, and the e has the short
sound ; as in guess.
113. This diphthong after r, has the sound of oo ; as
in true. In some words both vowels are sunk ; as in
vague. See p, 108.
UL
114. The // in this diphthong, as in ua or we, is often
pronounced like w. See p. 99.
1 15. The it has sometimes the faint sound of/1, and the
? is pronounced long : as in guide, &c. The i is some-
times short ; as in guild, &c
17
116. Sometimes the i is silent, and the u has the long
sound ; as in suit.
117. When this diphthong is preceded by r, it is pro-
nounced like oo ; as in fruit. See p. 125.
UO.
118. The u, in this diphthong, is always pronounced
like to ; as in quorum.
UY
119. This diphthong accented, sinks the u, and pro-
nounces the y like long i, but when not accented, the y
is. sounded like long e; as in plaguy, &c.
TRIPHTHONGS.
EAU.
120. This triphthong has generally the sound of long
o. In the word beauty and its compounds, it has the
sound of long u.
EOU.
121. These vowels cannot strictly be called a triph-
thong, although they are often contracted into one sylla-
ble. They are found only in an unaccented syllable, and
generally a final one ; when either of the dentals d or t is
the next preceding letter, it is coalesced into the sound of
j or tck ; thus hideous and piteous are pronounced Mjeus
and pitcheus.
EWE.
122. This triphthong has a faint sound of long e, and
the long sound of u, and exists only in the word ewe , a fe-
male sheep.
EYE.
123. This triphthong has the sound of long t.
1EU. IEW.
124. These triphthongs have the sound of long u ; as
in adieu, view, &c.
IOU.
125. These vowels, when preceded by a liquid, or any
mute but a dental, form two syllables ; as in various.
When preceded by the dentals t, soft c and s, they make
but one syllable ; thus factious is sounded as if written
fakshus. See p. 113.
126. These vowels have the same tendency, as in the
v. 2
IS
above situation to aspiration after a dental mute ; tedious
is pronounced as if written tc-jc-us; for it is the natural
tendency of d, to slide into the sound of t or j, and to be
subject to the same aspiration, when followed by the same
vowels. See p. 111.
OEU. OWE.
127. The triphthong oeu is found in the French word
manoeuvre, and has the sound of oo. Owe has the sound
of long o, and occurs only in the word otoe.
UAL
128. U in these vowels has the power of w, and ai that
of long a, as in quaint. See p. 77.
UA Y. UEA. UEE.
I '-20. The combinations of these vowels do not form
triphthongs, as the u has always the sound of w, unless it
is silent, and ca and ee have the sound of long e as in
quay, &ic. See p. 80.
VOL UOY.
1 30. In uoi, the it has the sound of w, and oi, its natu-
ral sound, as heard in quoit. In uoy, the uo is sometimes
soun/led like oo, and the y is generally like long e, as in
buoy.
OF TIIF. CONSONANTS.
B.
131. B has always one and the same sound, as in
bite ; it is silent before t, and after m, in the same syllable.
The exceptions arc accumb, succumb, and subfile. See p. 95.
a
132. C has always the power of h, s, or z ;— of k, before
a, o, and «; of s, before e, i, and y ; and of z, in
suffice, sacrifice, discern. It is always hard like k, at the
end of a word. See p. 82.
133. C is sometimes silent.
VM. "When c comes after the accent, and is followed by
cu. id, it , io, or eous, it takes the sound of sh ; thus ocean
is pronounced oshean. See. p. 113.
D.
135. D has generally the same sound; but in verbs
ending in ed, in the past time, after c, /, k, p, ss, ch. $M
an'd x, it has the sound of t. See p. 105.
19
136. It has the sound of/, when it comes after the ac-
cent, and is followed by the diphthong, ie, io, ia, or eou ;
as in soldier, pronounced soljur. See p. 111.
137. It is silent before g", in the same syllable, and serves
to make the g soft ; it is silent in a few other words.
138. This letter has always its own sound, except in of,
pronounced ov.
G.
139. G has a hard sound before a, o, v, b, and r ; as
in game. It is sometimes hard before c, and i ; always
so in words derived from the Saxon. See p. 108.
140. G is generally soft, with the sound of j, before e,
i, and y ; and almost in all words of Greek, Latin, or
French original. See p. 107.
141. This letter is always silent before m and n, in the
same syllable.
H.
142. This letter is no more than a forcible breathing
before the succeeding vowel is pronounced. It is often
sounded at the beginning of words, but sometimes silent.
It is always silent after r. //"final, preceded by a vowel,
is always silent, as ah ! sirrah.
J.
143. J has always the sound of soft g, except in the
word hallelujah, where it is pronounced like y.
K.
144. K has but one sound, and that like hard c. K is
always silent before n. When preceded by c, and at the
end of words, it should not be excluded, for it is a con-
stituent part of the original word, and if, in sound, it is
not important, in analogy it is highly so.
L.
145. L has always the same sound; it is generally si-
lent before f, k, m, and v, when preceded by a, in the
same syllable. When m is separated from /, by com-
mencing another syllable, it is sounded, as in psalmist.
L is always silent in the auxiliary verbs, would, &c. It
is silent in many other words.
146. L preceded by a mute,, and followed by e. in a
final syllable, has an imperfect sound, and the final e is
suppressed.
20
M.
147. M has always the same sound as in them : except
in comptroller, pronounced controller.
N.
148. N has a simple and pure sound ; as in then. It
has a mixed and nasal sound, like ng, when it is under
the accent, and after the short sound of the vowel, and is
followed hy the sharp or flat guttural mutes, g hard, or k,
,ff hard, qu, or x ; thus, thank is pronounced thangk. See
p. 109.
149. iVis silent, when it ends a word or syllable, and
is {.receded by I or m.
P.
150. This letter is silent before 5 and t, at the begin-
ning of words. It is silent in the middle of words, or in
;i final syllable, when before t, and preceded by m. It is
silent in some other instances.
Q
151. Q has the power of k, and is always followed by
a, which is either pronounced like w, or is silent.
R.
152. R is never silent, but its sound is sometimes trans-
posed. In a final unaccented syllable, terminating with
re, the e is sounded before the r ,• thus acre, sounded akcr.
See p. 111.
153. The same transposition takes place in the letters
run; as in apron, iron, pronounced apurn, &.c.
S.
154. This consonant has always a hissing sound, like
that of c, as heard in sin; or like that of z, as heard in
was. The former is the natural sound of a-, and occurs at
the beginning of words, and when it immediately follows
any of the sharp mutes,/, k, p, and t, and when it is add-
ed to the mute c, after any of these letters.
155. It has this sound of c, generally at the end of
monosyllables ; and often at the end of words of two or
more syllables, if it be in an unaccented syllable, and pre-
ceded by any of the vowels but e; as in basis.
156. Every double s in the language has the above
sound, except dissolve, possess, and their compounds ; and
scissors, hussy, and hussar. It likewise has the above
21
Sound, when followed by c, except in the word discern,
and in the inseparable prepositions dis and mis, unless the
next syllable begins with a sharp consonant. It has, like-
wise, this sound when followed by c, in the final syllable of
adjectives, in the terminations sive, sort/, some and osity, and
when followed by r, and preceded by the liquids /, n, or r.
157. *fc' has a soft buzzing sound like that of z, when
it immediately follows the flat mutes, b, d, g hard, or v ;
and when it begins the last syllable, and is preceded by
the long accent, or when in the accented syllable it is
preceded by e, i, or u, and followed by e , i, or si. See p. 35.
158. It has this buzzing sound, when it forms an ad-
ditional syllable with c before it, in the plural of nouns,
and the third person singular of verbs.
150. S, in dis, unaccented, and followed by aflat mute,
a liquid, or a vowel, is always like z.
160. S has the sound of z, in the monosyllables, is, as,
iras, has, and his, and in all plurals of nouns, and third
person singular of verbs, whose singulars end in a vowel.
See p. 83.'
161. Some verbs ending in se, have the s, like z, to dis-
tinguish them from nouns or adjectives of the same form ;
as grease, a noun ; grease, a verb, pronounced greaze.
162. &y, and sey, at the end of words, if preceded
by a vowel with the accent on it, have the s pronounced
like z.
163. S sounds like z, in the terminations ise, set, san,
son, sen, and sin, accented. There are but i'ew exceptions,
164. $has generally this sound after pre, pro, and re.
165. S is aspirated, and goes into the sound of ch, sh,
or zJt, when it is preceded by the accent, and followed by
a semi-consonant diphthong. In the termination sion
preceded by a vowel, s has the aspirated sound, zli ; It
has the same aspiration when before u, and is preceded
by an accented vowel ; as pleasure, &,c. ; but when s is
preceded by a liquid or another s, it is sounded sh ; as
sensual, &c.
166. S is sometimes silent ; as in isle, &,c. It is gene-
rally silent at the end of French words ; as in sous, pro-
nounced soo.
T.
167. This letter coming after the accent, often slides
into the sound of s, sh, or tsh ; this will not appear strange^
22
when we consider the organick formation of this letter,
in connexion with those vowels, that occasion this peculiar
sound. In the syllable tion, it being unaccented, the i
and o are sounded like e and u ; and ten produces the same
hiss, and requires the same formation of the organs that
■hi, requires ; therefore, tion very naturally slides into the
sound of shun. This sound of t, is generally heard when
it comes immediately after the accent ; thus satiate is pro-
nounced saslwatr.
108. The diphthongs ia, ie, iu, iu, and u alone, after t
and the accent, have the power of drawing the t into the
sound of sh or tch. This pronunciation of t obtains in
every word, where the diphthong or diphthongal sound
commences with i or e ; except in the terminations of
most verbs and adjectives.
1(59. In almost all words where s, x, or n, precedes t,
and this letter is followed as above, it is pronounced like
tch or tsh, unless the syllable next after t, commences with
long u, in which case y seems to coalesce with the sound
of u. See p. ll.*>.
170. T is silent when it follows s, and precedes the
terminations en and It; as hasten, &c. T is silent, in
gome other instances.
V.
171. This letter has but one sound, and is never silent.
X.
172. X has a sharp sound like les, when it ends a sylla-
ble, with the accent upon it ; or when the next syllable
is accented, and it begins with a consonant ; or when
the secondary' accent is on the x, in polysyllables. It is
likewise sharp in compound words, where the primitive
ends in x ; as taxation, pronounced taksation. See p. 110.
173. X has a soft sound like gz, when the following
syllable is accented, and it begins with a vowel or silent
h, before the vowel ; as exert, exhibit, pronounced egzert,
egzibit.
174. When the unaccented syllable follows x, and be-
gins with a vowel, that vowel is aspirated and takes the
sound of y, as luxury.
175. X at the beginning of words has the sound of 2;
as Xerxes, pronounced Zerkses.
170. X in French words is sometimes silent, and is
sometimes pronounced like s.
23
z.
177. Z is the soft buzzing s, and goes into the aspira-
1011 before a diphthong or diphthongal vowel after the ac-
cent ; as glazier, pronounced glazhur.
178. Z is sometimes silent in French words; as in
rendezvous, &c.
CONSONANTS COMBINED.
GH.
179. These letters at the beginning of a word, drop the
h ; but at the end they are generally silent ; as in high,
nigh, &,c. They have sometimes the power of ck; as in
hough, pronounced hock.
180. GH is often pronounced like f ; and sometimes
only the g is sounded, as in burgh, pronounced burg.
GUT
181. The gh, in this termination, is silent ; as in might.
The only exception is draught, where the gh has the
sound ofy.
PH.
182. These letters are generally pronounced like f but
sometimes like v. In some words, the /* is mute. In
phthisis, phthisick, and phthisical, both letters are mute.
Seep. 110.
TIL
183. This combination at the beginning of words is
sharp ; as in thank, think, &-c. There are many excep-
tions to this remark. TH at the end of words is sharp ;
as death, &c. The exceptions are beneath, booth, with,
&c. See p. 85.
184. TH between two vowels in words purely English,
is generally soft; as in father, &c.
185. These letters are sharp in the middle of words,
either when they precede or follow a consonant, as pan-
ther, &c. The exceptions are farthing, farther, &,c.
186. They are generally sharp between two vowels, in
words from the learned languages. The h is sometimes
silent ; as in Thomas, &c.
OF WORDS.
A word is a significant sound, or the sign of an idea.
Every word consists of one or more syllables. A syllable
is a sound, either simple or compounded, and can be pro-
nounced by a single impulse #f the voice.
24
A word of one syllable is called a monosyllable 5
two dissyllable ;
three trisyllable ;
four polysyllable.
187. Words are either primitive or derivative. A
primitive is not derived from any other word ; as lovt>.
A derivative is derived from some other word ; as from
love is derived loving ; from prefer, preferring. Deriva-
tive words are generally formed by affixing one or more
syllables to the primitive; as love, lov-ing, lov-ing-ness.
Rules for Spelling or Forming Words.
188. Rule 1. Monosyllables ending with the consonant
f I, or 5, preceded by a single vowel, double the final or
last consonant, as staff, mill, pass, small, stress, spell,
shall, will, gross. The only exceptions are, as, has, is
this, wets, his, if, of us, yes, and thus.
189. Rule 2. Monosyllables, ending with any conso-
nant but/", /, or s, and preceded by a single vowel, do not
double the final consonant, excepting arid, ebb, butt, egg,
odd, err, inn, bunn, burr, buzz. Examples. — Far, thin,
for, set, car, war, drug, nor, hum, fin, fur, &,c.
190. Rule 3. Words ending with y, preceded by a con-
sonant, form the plurals of nouns, the persons of verbs,
verbal nouns, past participles, comparatives, and superla-
tives, by changing the y into i ; as spy, spies ; 1 carry,
thou earnest, he carr/es ; carr/er, earned ; happy, hap-
p/'er, happ/est. The present participle in trig, retains the
y, that i may not be doubled ; as carry, carrying. But y
preceded by a vowel, in such instances as the above, is
not changed : as boy, boys ; cloy, cloyed. Except in lay,
pay, and say ; from which are formed laid, paid, said.
191. Rule 4. Words ending with y, preceded by a
consonant, upon assuming or taking an additional sylla-
ble, beginning with a consonant, commonly change y into
i ; as happy, happily. But when y is preceded by a
vowel, it is rarely changed in the additional syllable; as
boy, boyish, boyhood.
192. Rule -r>. Monosyllables, and words accented on
the last syllable, ending with a single consonant preceded
by a single vowel, double that consonant, when they take
another syllable beginning with a vowel; as wit, witty,
thin, thinnish ; begin, beginner. But if a diphthong pre-
cedes, or the accent is on the preceding syllable, the con-
sonant remains single; as toil, toiling; offer, offering.
m
193. Rule 0. Words ending in any double letter but
/, and taking ness, less, ly, or ful, after them, preserve the
letter double ; as havMlcssncss, carelessness, carelessly,
stiffly, successful. But words ending with double /, and
taking ness, less, ly, ox ful, after them, generally omit one
/,- a$ fulness, shitless, fully, skilful.
194. Rule 7. Ness, less, ly, and ful, added to words
ending with silent e, do not cut it off; as paleness, guile-
less, peaceful; — except in a few words; as duly, truly,
awful.
195. Rule 8. Ment added to words ending with silent
t, generally preserves the e from elision, or from being cut
off; as abatement, chastisement, excitement; but the e is
omitted in judgment, abridgment, acknowledgment. Ment
added to words ending with y, preceded by a consonant,
changes y into i ; as accompany, accompaniment ; merry,
merriment.
196. Ruled. Able, and ible, added to words ending with
silent e, almost always cut it off; as blame, biddable ; cure,
curable ; sense, sensible; but if c, or g soft come before e
in the original word, the e is preserved ; as change,
changeable ; peace, peaceable.
L97. Rule 10. When iug, or ish, is added to words end-
ing with silent e, the c is almost always omitted ; as place,
placing; lodge, lodging; slave, slavish; prude, prudish.
198. Rule 11. Words taken into composition, often
drop those letters, which are superfluous in their simples;
as handful, withal, chilblain, foretel.
OF ACCENT.
199. Accent, very essential to a correct speaker, has
been frequently misrepresented by those, who have at-
tempted to define its nature. It is a forcible stress of
voice laid on a syllable in a word, in order to make articu-
lation the more easy, and distinct. It implies something
different from a gradual or an uniform rising or falling
of the voice, from one syllable to another, although the
accented syllable is always louder than the rest.
200. There are certain inflections of the voice, which
distinguish speaking from singing; these are called rising
and falling inflections. In musick, a sliding of the voice
from high to low, and from low to high, may be justly re-
presented by a curve line, w^} which denotes one con-
tinued sound ; but this mark cannot represent the inflec-
c
26
tions of the voice in speaking, where every syllable that
ends with a consonant, necessarily interrupts or stops
the voice ; and the next following commences with a
much higher or lower sound, than that of the preceding
syllable. Perhaps the following may be thought a happy
manner of representing a just idea of the nature of accent,
and a comparison of an accented syllable, with others less
forcible ; thus, — — __ __ cir cum lo cu tion.
Secondary Accent.
201. The secondary accent is a stress something less
than a full accent, laid on a syllable, in order to pro-
nounce the word with more clearness, force, and harmony ;
thus this accent is on the first syllable of circumlocution.
The secondary accent is always two or more syllables dis-
tant from the principal accent.
202. The consonants, t, cl, c, and s, after the seconda-
ry accent, are sounded the same as when after the princi-
pal ; that is, if they are followed by a diphthong, these
consonants are pronounced like sh, tsh, zh, or j ; as par-
tiality., &c.
Accented Syllables.
203. All dissyllables have one syllable accented.
There are no invariable rules for fixing the accent.
204. Words of two syllables, which are both nouns and
verbs, as they are differently used, have generally the
accent of nouns on the first, and of verbs on the last sylla-
ble.
205. Words of trisyllables generally accent the first,
with the short sound of the vowel. As words increase in
syllables, the accent becomes more easily determined.
Noun3 increase by becoming plural ; adjectives by their
comparison ; verbs by their conjugation, &x. In all such
instances, and in almost all derivative words, the accent
remains unaltered, on the root or primitive word, except
confessor, preference, reference, excellent, &-C.
206. In polysyllables which are not derivatives, the ac^
oent is generally on the last syllable but two.
207. In a few instances, it is on the last syllable but
three. As a general rule, the accent should fall on that
syllable which renders the articulation of the whole word
most agreeable to the ear.
27
RULES
For Pronouncing the Neio Testament Proper Names,
a A vowel ending a syllable with the accent on it, is
long (15).
b A consonant ending a syllable makes the preceding
vowel short.
c i, ending the last syllable of a word is generally long.
d Every unaccented i, ending a syllable, not final, is
sounded like e. (32)
e The vowels ai are sometimes pronounced in one syl-
lable, and sometimes in two. When they are pronounced
in one syllable, they have generally the sound of long a.
f When ai are pronounced in two syllables, they have
each the long sound ; as in Arisai.
g Sometimes these vowels, when followed by another
vowel, have a diphthongal sound ; the a is long, and i,
like y ; as in Caiaphas, pronounced Cayaphas.
h Ch has nearly always the sound of & : as in Enoch.
i It has sometimes the sound of tsh ; as in Rachel.
k Ph has generally the sound of/, but sometimes of v.
1 i, in the termination itcs, is long ; in that of ines, it is
short.
m The unaccented termination ah is sounded like the
a mfar.
n The diphthong ei is always sounded like long e.
o t, following the accented syllable, and berore ins, is
sounded like sh. as Tertius, pronounced Ter she us. (i63>

SWEARING.
Thou shalt not pro-fane the name of thy
God ; I am the Lord. I will come near to
you in judg-ment, and I vwill be a swift wit-
ness a-gainst false swear-ers, saith the Lord
of hosts.
Swear not at all ; nei-ther by heav-en, for
it is God's throne ; nor by earth, for it is his
foot-stool ; nei-ther by Je-ru-sa-lem, for it is
the cit-y of the great King ; nei-ther shalt
thou swear by thy head, he-cause thou canst
not make one hair white or black. But let
your com-mu-ni-ca-tions be yea, yea ; nay,
nay ; for what-so-ev-er is more than these,
com-eth of e-vil. Speak e-vil of no man. Let
all bit-ter-ness, and wrath, and an-ger, and
clam-our, and e-vil speak-ing be put a-way
from you, with all mal-ice.
Put off all these ; an-ger, wrath, mal-ice,
blas-phe-my, and filth-y com-mu-ni-ca-tions
out of your mouth. In the mul-ti-tude of
words, there want-eth not sin.
Keep thy tongue from e-vil, and thy lips
from speak-ing guile. De-part from c-vil, and
do good, seek peace, and pur-sue it.
e2
54
LYING.
Ye shall not lie one to an-oth-er. He that
spea-keth lies shall per-ish. Ly-ing lips are
an a-bom-i-na-tion to the Lord ; but they that
deal tru-ly are his de-light. A poor man is
bet-ter than a li-ar.
He that will love life, and see good days,
let him re-frain his tongue from e-vil, and his
lips that they speak no guile.
A false wit-ness shall not be un-pun-ish-ed ;
and he that spea-keth lies shall not e-scape.
Speak ye ev-e-ry man the truth to his fel-low.
And let none of you im-ag-ine e-vil in your
hearts a-gainst an-oth-er ; and love not a false
oath ; for these are things I hate, saith the
Lord.
De-liv-er my soul, O Lord, from ly-ing lips ;
and from a de-ceit-ful tongue. The lip of
truth shall be e-stab-lish-ed for-ev-er ; but a
ly-ing tongue i»*but for a mo-ment.
There shall in no wise en-ter in-to heav-en
any thing that de-fi-leth ; nei-ther what-so-
ev-er work-eth a-bom-in-a-tion, or ma-keth a
lie.
SCRIPTURE EXTRACTS.
The earth is the Lord's, and the ful-ness
tfeere-of ; the world and they that dwell there-
in.
The Lord is nigh un-to them, that are of a
bro-ken heart ; and sa-veth such, as are of a
con-trite spir-it.
Great is the Lord, and great-ly to be prai-
sed in the cit-y of our God, in the moun-tain
of his ho-li-ncss.
do
Who is like the Lord, in glo-ry ? Who in
pow-er will con-tend with the Al-migh-ty ?
Hath he an-y e-qual in wis-dom ? It is God,
O man ! who hath cre-a-ted thee. Thy sta-
tion on earth is fix-ed by his ap-point-ment
The pow-ers of thy mind are the gifts of his
good-ness. The won-ders of thy frame are
the works of his hand.
O Lord, how man-i-fold are thy works ! m
wis-dom hast thou made them all : the earth
is full of thy rich-es. Praise Him, ye heav-
en of heav-ens. Let them praise the name
of the Lord ; for he com-mand-ed, and they
were cre-a-ted.
just and true are thy ways, thou King of
saints ; thy truth en-du-reth for-ev-er. Heav-
en and earth shall pass a-way, but thy v\ ord
shall not pass a-way. Ver-i-ly, O God, thou
art a God that hi-dest thy-self : thy dwell-ing
is in the light, which no man can ap-proach
un-to.
SELECT SENTENCES.
Be not vain of your ac-quire-ments. Re~
mem-ber that all you pos-sess comes from God:
to God give the glo-ry. The wi-sest man is
not the proud-est. Be con-vinc-ed that noth-
ing is so child-ish as van-i-ty, and noth-ing so
of-fen-sive as pride.
" 1 — What is it to be ici&e ?
" 'Tis but to knvw how little can be known,
" To see all others' faults, and feel our emt"
So long as men are un-der the pow-cr of
sin, they are un-der the pow-er of mad-ness.
What we are a-fraid to do be-fore men, we
should be a-fraid to think be-fore God.
o6
Would you be hap-py, and pros-per-ous ?
Would you be re-spcct-cd by your friends ?
Would you have the bless-ings of heav-en ?
Be mod-est, be dil-i-gent, be virt-u-ous.
Seek to be par-don-cd ; a-bove all, seek to
be be-lov-ed.
When we are most read-y to per-ish, God
then is most read-y to help.
The Ava-ges of sin is death. It is poor wa-
ges that will not help a man to live. As vir-
tue is its own re-ward-er, so sin is its own ex-
e-cu-tion-er. The depths of mis-c-ry are nev-
er be-yond the depths of mer-cy.
They on-ly are wise, who are wise un-to
sal-va-tion.
He that would be lit-tlc in tcmp-ta-tion, let
him be much in pray-er.
MORALITY.
-'Tis our part,
fVs Chris-nan?, to for-get the wrongs we f
To par-don tres-pas-scs ; our ver-y foes
To love and chcr-ish ; to do good to all ;
Live peace-a-b!y, and be, in ail our acts,
Wise. as the ser-pent, gon-tlc a^ the dove.

HEALTH.
1 . Who is she that with grace-ful steps, and
with a live-ly air, trips over yon-der plain ?
2. The rose blush-es on her cheeks ; the
jsweet-ness of the morn-ing breathes from her
64
lips ; joy, tem-per-ed with in-noccnce and
mod-es-ty, spar-kles in her eyes; and the cheer-
ful-ness of her heart ap-pears in all her move-
ments.
3. Her name is Health : she is the dangh-ter
of Ex-er-cise and Tcm-per-ance. Their sons
in-hab-it the moun-tains and the plain. They
are brave, ac-tive, and live-ly ; and par-take of
all the beau-tic* and vir-tues of their sis-tcr.
4. Vig-our strings their nerves, strength
dwells in their bones, and la-bour is their de-
light all the day long. The em-ploy-mcnts of
their fath-er ex-cite their ap-pe-tites ; and the
re-pasts of their moth-er re-fresh them.
5. To coin-bat the pass-ions, is their de-
light ; to con-quer e-vil hab-its, their glo-rv.
Their pleas-ures are mod-er-ate, and there-
fore they en-dure : their re-pose is short, but
sound and un-dis-tur-bed. Their blood is pure ;
their minds are se-rene ; and the phys-i-cian
does not find the way to their hab-i-ta-tions.

EMULATION.
If thy soul thirsteth for honour ; if thy ear
hath any pleasure in the voice of praise ; raise
thyself from the dust, whereof thou art made
— and exalt thy aim to something that is praise-
worthy.
The oak that now spreadeth its branches
towards the heavens, was once but an acorn
in the bowels of the earth.
Endeavour to be first in thy calling, what-
70
ever it be : neither let any one go before thee
in well-doing.
By a virtuous emulation, the spirit of a man
is exEtlted within him ; he panteth after fame,
and rejoiceth as a racer to run his course.
He riseth like the palm-tree, in spite of op-
pression ; and as an eagle in the firmament
of iieaven, he soareth aloft, and fixes his eye
upon the glories of the sun.
The example of eminent men are in his
visions by night ; and his delight is to follow
them all the day long.
He formeth great designs, he rejoiceth in
the execution thereof, and his name goeth
forth to the ends of the world.
Let good feelings, and good and virtuous
habits gain strength with thy years, and you
shall rise like a cedar on the mountains ; your
head shall be lifted above the trees of the
forest.
Early aspire to good and great actions, and
a holy life.
Be obedient to your superiors, and they
shall bless you.
Cherish in your bosom the generous feel-
ings of gratitude, and you shall receive bene-
fits.
Possess charity, and you shall gain es-
teem.
Possess temperance, and you shall have
health.
Possess diligence and prudence, and with
them, you shall have riches.
Possess justice, and you shall be honoured
by the world.
71
Possess knowledge, and you shall be ex-
alted, and your life shall be useful.
Possess " good will to man," and love to
God, and your death shall be joyous, and the
life to come shall be a blessed immortality.
FILIAL LOVE.
Be grateful to thy father, for he gave thee
life, and to thy mother, for she sustained thee.
Hear the words of his mouth, for they are
spoken for thy good ; give ear to his admo-
nition, for it proceedeth from love.
He hath watched for thy welfare ; he hath
toiled for thy ease ; do honour, therefore, to
his age, and let not his grey hairs be treated
with irreverence.
BENEVOLENCE.
When thou considerest thy wants, when
thou beholdest thy imperfections, acknow-
ledge his goodness, O son of humanity ! who
honoured thee with reason, endued thee with
speech, and placed thee in society, to receive
and confer reciprocal helps, and mutual obli-
gations.
It is thy duty, therefore, to be a friend to
mankind, as it is thy interest that man should
be friendly to thee.
As the rose breatheth sweetness from its
own nature, so the heart of a benevolent man
produceth good works.
He enjoyeth the ease and tranquillity of his
own breast, and rejoiceth in the happiness and
prosperity of his neighbour.
He openeth not his ear unto slander ; the
72
faults and the failings of men give pain to his
heart.
His desire is to do good, and he searcheth
out the occasions thereof; in removing the
oppressions of another, he relieveth himself.
From the largeness of his mind, he com-
prehendeth in his wishes, the happiness of
all men ; and from the generosity of his heart,
he ende avoureth to promote it.
A BIRTH-DA y.
Swift as the arrow flies,
My time is hastening on :
Quick as the lightning from the skies.
My wasting moments run.
My follies past, O God, forgive :
My ev'ry sin subdue :
And teach me, henceforth, how to lire.
With glory in my view.
Twere better I had not been born,
Than live without thy fear;
For they are wretched and forlorn,
Who have their portion here.
But thanks to thy unbounded grace,
That in my early youth,
I have been taught to seek thy face,
And know the ways of truth.
O ! let thy spirit lead me still,
Along the happy road :
Conform me to thy holy will,
My father and my God.
Another year of life is past ;
My heart to thee incline ;
That, if this year should be my last,
It may be wholly thine.
73
THE ROSE.
How fair is the rose ! what a beautiful flower !
The glory of April and May !
But the leaves are beginning to fade in an hour,
And they wither and die in a day.
Yet the rose has one powerful virtue to boast,
Above all the flowers of the field :
When its leaves are all dead, and fine colours are lost,
Still how sweet a perfume it will yield !
So frail is the youth and the beauty of men,
Though they bloom and look gay like the rose ;
But all our fond care to preserve them is vain :
Time kills them as fast as he goes.
Then I'll not be proud of my youth, or my beauty,
Since both of them wither and fade :
But gain a good name by well doing my duty :
This will scent like a rose when I'm dead.
Watts.
THE PHILANTHROPIST.
What blessings bounteous Heav'n bestows,
He takes with thankful heart :
With temperance, he eats and drinks,
And gives the poor a part.
To sect or party, his large soul
Disdains to be confiu'd :
The good he loves, of ev'ry name,
And prays for all mankind.
Pure in his zeal, the offspring fair
Of truth and heav'nly love ;
The bigot's rage can never dwell,
Where rests the peaceful dove.
CONTENTMENT.
I envy not the proud their wealth,
Their equipage and state :
Give me but innocence and health,
I ask not to be great.

RULES FOR READING PROSE.
Any person, who has a clear voice, and can articulate
correctly the English elementary sounds, or the letters of
the alphabet, may, with some attention, become a good
reader ; but there are persons, who can never become
harmonious readers, for the reasons of a stammering or
lisping — a roughness of voice, or loss of teeth ; but to
such it is a consolation that neither these, nor any other
natural defects, can prevent their reading correctly.
To read with propriety and elegance, the following
particulars must be observed, viz. Articulation, Pronun-
ciation, Emphasis, Cadence, Pauses, Key or Pitch of the
voice, and Tones.
ARTICULATION,
A correct articulation consists in giving each letter or
syllable its proper sound, and a distinct and forcible ut-
terance.
Articulation may be strengthened and improved by
frequent loud reading, and a due attention to the forma-
tion of the elementary sounds by the organs of speech.
PRONUNCIATION.
A good pronunciation consists in giving each letter its
just quantity and quality of sound ; and each word its
proper accent.
Pronunciation should be distinct, bold, and forcible;
these requisites depend on the strength and energy of the
voice, which may be easily acquired, by reading aloud
long passages, and expressing with a full impulse of
breath, and a forcible action of the orga/is, the simple
sounds, in each word.
EMPHASIS.
Emphasis is a forcible stress of voice laid upon such
words in a sentence, as best convey the meaning. Every
sentence contains one, and perhaps several words, which
are to be distinguished by a strong impulse of voice.
Emphasis is to words, what accent is to syllables; (109)
for as the latter dignifies the syllable on which it is laid,
and presents the meaning of the word in a clearer light
75
to the understanding, so the former ennobles the word it,
which it belongs, and makes the sentence appear more
intelligible and perspicuous. (200)
The reader will never be at a loss where to place the
emphasis, if he understand well the meaning and spirit
of the sentence he is to express. If he make this book
his Instructor, he is advised to study, with particular at-
tention, the Spelling Tables that immediately precede the
Reading Lessons. When he is able to pronounce and
define all the difficult words of his reading exercise, he
can read with more understanding, and, consequently,
with greater facility and correctness.
CADENCE.
Cadence is the reverse of emphasis ; or a falling of the
voice.
PAUSES,
Pauses are a total cessation of sound during a per-
ceptible space of time ; they are generally used to mark
the divisions of the sense, and to give the reader time to
draw his breath.
There are three kinds of pauses, viz. the suspending,
rising, and falling. The duration of these depends on
the connection, sense, and spirit of the composition, and
is measured by the following marks ; comma (,) semicolon (; )
•colon (:) and period (.) The voice should stop at these marks
in proportion to the numbers one, two, three, and four.
Although this rule is generally correct, yet not always
so, for both the proportion and duration of the pauses
often change with the style or spirit of the sentiments.
Some paragraphs require quick reading, others slow.
There is another pause of considerable importance,
called an emphatical pause, made immediately before or
after an emphasis. It is not designated by any mark,
and its duration depends on the nature of the emphasis.
Good readers generally make at a comma, or a note of
admiration, a suspending pause.
At a semicolon, colon, and period, there should be a
falling pause.
An interrogative sentence formed by who, how, how
much, how many, why, when, where, and some others,
closes with a falling pause, unless the last word is em-
phatical.
A rising or suspending pause is always made, when the
last word is emphatical.
76
PITCHES OF THE VOICE.
There are usually reckoned three pitches of the voice ;
the middle, the high, and the low.
The middle pitch is used in ordinary discourse.
The high is used in the reading of plaintive and joyous
passages.
The low is used in solemn and gloomy passages.
The pitch or key of the voice should always be ac-
commodated to the nature of the sentiments to be ex-
pressed, and the loudness or force of the voice should be
proportioned to the room and the audience in it. In
order rightly to proportion the quantity of voice, let the
loader, at the beginning, direct it to the most distant part
of his auditory.
TONES.
Tones are the notes or variations of the voice, and vary
with the emotions of the mind. They are implanted in
tiie animal nature of man, and, therefore, make a com-
mon language, understood by all nations and tongues.
Without a natural and judicious use of the tones, we
• an neither please nor persuade, or make our sentiments
iurcible or affecting.
The tones which express the different passions of the
mind, are as follows:
Love, by a soft, smooth, and languishing voice.
Anger, by a strong, vehement, and elevated voice.
Joy, by a quick, sweet, and clear voice.
Fear, by a dejected, tremulous, and hesitating voice.
Courage, by a firm, bold, and swelling voice.
Perplexity, by a grave, steady, and earnest voice.
In narration, the voice should be distinct.
In reasoning, the voice should be slow.
In persuasion, the voice should be strong.
When we recommend an attention to the tones, or lan-
guage of emotions, we must be understood to do it with
proper limitation. Moderation is necessary in this point,
as it is in other things. For when reading becomes strictly
imitative, it assumes a theatrical manner, and must be
highly improper, as well as give offence to the hearers ;
because it is inconsistent with that delicacy and modesty,
which are indispensable on sucli occasions. The speaker
who delivers his own emotions, must be supposed to be
more vivid and animated, than would be propei in the
person, who relates them at second hand.

THE PERFECT SPEAKER.
1. Imagine to yourselves a Demosthenes, ad-
dressing the most illustrious assembly in the world,
upon a point, whereon the fate of the most illustri-
ous of nations depended. — How awful such a meet-
ing ! how vast the subject ! Is man possessed of
Talents adequate to the great occasion ? Adequate
— yes, superior.
2. By the power of his eloquence, the august-
ness of the assembly is lost, in the dignity of the
orator ; and the importance of the subject, for
n while, superseded, by the admiration of his
talents.
o. With what strength of argument, with wha:
powers of the fancy, with what emotions of the
heart, does he assault and subjugate the whole man,
and at once, captivate his reason, his imagination,
and his passions ! — To effect this, must be tiie ut-
most effort of the most improved state of human
nature.
•1. Not a faculty that he possesses, is here unem-
ployed : not a faculty that he possesses, but is here
exerted to its highest pitch. All his internal pow-
ers are at work: all his external testify their ener-
gies. Within, Uie memory, the fancy, the judgment,
'he passions are all busy : without, every muscle
91
e\et) nerve, is exerted; not a feature, not a limb,
but speaks.
5. The organs of the body attuned to the exer-
tions of the mind, through the kindred organs
the hearers, instantaneously, and, as it were, with
an electrical spirit, vibrate those energies from soul
to soul.
G. Notwithstanding the diversity of minds in such
a multitude, by the lightning of eloquence, they
are melted into one mass — the whole assembly ac-
tuated in one and the same way, become as it were,
but one man, and have but one voice. The uni-
versal cry is — Let us march against Philip — let
CS FIGHT FOR OUR LIBERTIES LET US CONQUER OR
DIE.
AN ADDRESS TO YOUNG PERSONS.
1. I intend in this address, to show you the im-
portance of beginning early to give serious atten-
tion to your conduct. As soon as you are capable
of reflection, you must perceive that there is a right
and a wrong, in human actions. You see, that
those who are born with the same advantages of
fortune, are not all equally prosperous in the course
of life.
2. While some of them, by wise and steady con-
duct, attain distinction in the world, and pass their
days with comfort and honour; others, of the Same
rank, by mean and vicious behaviour, forfeit the ad-
vantages of their birth ; involve themselves in much
misery ; and end in being a disgrace to their friends,
and a burden on society.
3. Early, then, may you learn, that it is not on
the external condition in which you find yourselves
placed, but on the part,which you are to act, that
your welfare or unhappiness, your honour or infamy,
depends. Now, when beginning to act that part,
what can be of greater moment, than to regulate
your plan of conduct with the most serious atten-
tion, before you have yet committed any fatal or
irretrievable errors ?
92
4. Whatever be your rank, Providence will not,
for your sake, reverse its established order. The
Author of your being hath enjoined you to " take
heed to your ways ; to ponder the paths of your
feet ; to remember your Creator in the days of your
youth." He hath decreed, that they only " who
seek after wisdom, shall find it ; that fools shall be
afflicted, because of their transgressions ; and that
whoever re fuse th instruction, shall destroy his own
soul."
5. By listening to these admonitions, and temper-
inn; the vivacity of youth with a proper mixture of
serious thought, you may ensure cheerfulness for
the rest of life ; but by delivering yourselves up at
present to giddiness and levity, you lay the founda-
tion of lasting heaviness of heart.
6. When you look forward to those plans of life,
which either your circumstances have suggested, or
your friends have proposed, you will not hesitate to
acknowledge, that in order to pursue them with ad-
vantage, some previous discipline is requisite. Be
assured, that whatever is to be your profession, no
education is more necessary to your success, than
the acquirement of virtuous dispositions and habits.
This is the universal preparation for every charac-
ter, and every station in life.
7. Bad as the world is, respect is always paid to
virtue. In the usual course of human affairs, it will
be found, that a plain understanding, joined with
acknowledged worth, contributes more to prosperity,
than the brightest parts without probity or honour.
8. Whether science or business, or publick life,
be your aim, virtue still enters, for a principal share
into all these great departments of society. It is
connected with eminence, in every liberal art ; with
reputation, in every branch of fair and useful busi-
ness; with distinction, in every publick station.
9. The vigour which it gives the mind, and the
Weight which it adds to character • the generous
sentiments which it breathes ; the undaunte I c pirit
which it inspires; the ardour of diligence which it
93
quickens ; the freedom which it procures from per-
nicious and dishonourable avocations ; are the foun-
dations of all that is highly honourable, or greatly
successful among men.
10. Let not then the season of youth be barren
of improvements, so essential to your future felicity
and honour. Now is the seed time of life ; and ac-
cording to " what you sow, you shall reap."
11. Your character is now, under Divine assist-
ance, of your own forming : your fate is, in some
measure, put into your own hands. Your nature is
as yet pliant and soft. Habits have not established
their dominion. Prejudices have not preoccupied
your understanding. The world has not had time
to contract and debase your affections.
12. All your powers are more vigorous, disem-
barrassed, and free, than they will be at any future
period. Whatever impulse you now give to your
desires and passions, the direction is likely to con-^
tinue. It will form the channel in which your life
is to run ; nay, it may determine its everlasting is-
sue.
13. Consider then the employment of this im-
portant period, as the highest trust which shall ever
be committed to you ; as in a great measure, deci-
sive of your happiness, in time, and in eternity.
14. As in the succession of the seasons, each, by
the invariable laws of nature, affects the produc-
tions of what is next in course ; so, in human life,
every period of our age, according as it is well or
ill spent, influences the happiness of that, which is
to follow.
15. Virtuous youth gradually brings forward ac-
complished and flourishing manhood ; and such
manhood passes of itself, without uneasiness, into
respectable and tranquil old age.
16. But when nature is turned out of its regular
course, disorder takes place in the moral, just as in
the vegetable world. If the spring put forth no
blossoms, in summer, there will be no beauty, and
in autumn, no fruit : so, if youth be trifled away
§4-
without improvement, manhood will probably be
contemptible, and old age miserable. If the be-
ginnings of life have been " vanity," its latter end
can scarcely be any other than " vexation of spirit."
17. Correct, then, this ill-founded arrogance.
Expect not, that your happiness can be independent
of Him, who made youth. By piety and prayer,
seek the protection of the God of heaven. I con-
clude with the solemn words, in which a great
prince delivered his dying charge to his son ; words
which every young person ought to consider as ad-
dressed to himself, and to engrave deeply on his
heart : " Solomon, my son, know thou the God of
thy fathers ; and serve him with a perfect heart,
and with a willing mind. For the Lord searches
all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations
of the thoughts. If thou seek him, he will be found
of thee ; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee
off for ever." Blair.

QUINTILIAN S CHILDREN.
1. Quintilian, noticing the different characters of the
mind in children, draws in a few words, the image of
what he judged to be a perfect scholar ; and certainly
it is a very amiable one : " For my part," says he, " I like
a child who is encouraged by commendation, is animated
by a sense of glory, and weeps when he is outdone.
2. "A noble emulation will always keep him in exercise,
a reprimand will touch him to the quick, and honour will
serve instead of a spur. We need not fear that such a
scholar will ever give himself up to sullenness."
3. How great a value soever Quintilian sets upon the
talents of the mind, he esteems those of the heart far be-
yond them, and looks upon the others as of no value with-
out them.
4. He displays to us all these talents in the eldest of
his two children, whose character he draws, and whose
i 2
102
death he laments in so eloquent and pathetick a strain, in
the beautiful preface to his sixth hook.
5. After having mentioned his younger son, who died
at five years old, and described the graces and beauties
of his countenance, the prettiuess of his expressions, the
vicacityof his understanding, which began to shine through
the veil of childhood; " I had still left me," says he, " my
son Qnintilian, in whom I placed all my pleasure, and all
my hopes, and comfort enough I might have found in
him : for, having now entered into his tenth year, he did
not produce only blossoms like his younger brother, but
fruits already formed, and beyond the power of disap*
pointment.
6. " I have much experience; but I never saw in any
child, I do not say only so many excellent dispositions for
the sciences, nor so much taste, as his masters know, but
so much probity, sweetness, good nature, gentleness, and
inclination to please and oblige, as I discerned in him.
7. " Besides this, he had ail the advantages of nature ;
a charming voice, a pleasing countenance, and a sur-
prising facility in pronouncing well the two languages, as
if he had been equally born for both of them.
8. " But all this was no more than hope, I set a

OF THE SIMPLE ARTS OF SAVAGE LIFE.
•-;^-
rts of savage life are those which were pos-
the ancient Britons : and which are witni
lis day among all barbarous people. They include
.rts of swimming, hunting, taking aim with missile
ms, and procuring fire.
i. The art of swimming, depends first, in keeping the
and hands under the water ; in protruding only the
and part of the head out of the water; and then
h action, as will direct the body in any particu-
lar course.
3. Ail animals swim without instruction ; because they
unable to lift their fore-legs over their heads. The
secret of this art depends, then, on keeping down the
Lands and arms, and acting under the water with them.
The parts of any body, which rise out of the water, tend
to depress the parts that are immersed in it.
4. Hunting is performed by most savage nations on
foot, and with many of them the principal weapon is the
club. Therefore the swiftest and strongest usually be-
come chiefs.
.'>. Hence Hercules, the hero of antiquity, is dra-wn with
no other weapon than a club; with which, alone, he is
121
said to have performed all his wonderful exploits. Some
nations, in nothing removed above savages, are however
found to have acquired the use of bows and arrows.
6. If there are some privations to be borne in society;
if the successful emulation of industry and talents cre-
ates great inequalities of enjoyment ; and if the laws are
abused, and sometimes bear oppressively on weak indi-
viduals, the worst condition of social and civilized man is
better than the best condition of the untutored savage.
7. Such is man, in his native and original state, in all
countries ; and such are the boundaries of knowledge,
among all aboriginal people : let us now consider man, in
a better, happier, and more respectable condition.
OF FARMING, OR AGRICULTURE.
S. The first step, from savage towards civilized life, is
the acquirement, protection, and recognition of property.
In early ages this consisted only of what was essential to
the immediate wants of man.
9. The first property consisted of sheep, goats, and
oxen ; and the first husbandmen were shepherds, who
tended their flocks, and drove them without restriction
from pasture to pasture.
W We have a beautiful picture of the pastoral life, in
L
122
the book of Genesis: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and their
families, were shepherds or husbandmen of the earliest
ages. It will be seen, that their wealth consisted in their
Hocks and live stock ; and that they roamed over the
country to find pasture.
11. In Africa, among the Americans, and in most
parts of Asia, there exists to this day, no property in the
land; hence, in those countries, there is little cultivation ;
and subsistence is precarious ; notwithstanding the fertili-
ty of the soil, and the genial character of the climates.
12. The recognition and protection of property in the
soil, is the basis of industry, plenty, and social improve-
ment ; and is therefore, one of the most important steps
in the progress of man, from the savage, to the civilized
state.
13. As soon as any man could call a spot of ground
Lis own, and could secure to his family the produce of
it; he would carefully cultivate, sow ami plant it; know-
ing that he should reap the reward of his labour in the
reason of harvest,
14. Countries, however, in general, lie open ; with
nothing but banks and ditches to divide the land of eve-
ry husbandman : but in all civilized countries, each sep-
arate farm is divided from others by hedges and fences ;
and the farms themselves, are subdivided into s
enclosures.
Jo. In France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and most other
nations, the land still remains unenclosed, in large open
fields ; and those countries, in consequence, present a
dreary appearance.
10. Soils are divided into clayey, loamy, chalky,
sandy, gravelly, peaty, and moory. The clayey and
loamy are called stiff or strong soils; and the sandy and
gravelly, light soils.
17. Soils are barren, when they consist of too much
of one kind of material, do not hold moisture, or are too
.shallow. They are fertile, when they contain a due mix-
ture of the several primitive earths, with vegetable and ani-
mal matter.
18. To render a barren soil fertile, it requires to be
frequently turned up to the air, and to have manures
mixed with it; which manures consist of animal dungs,
decayed vegetal '• : me, marl, sweepings of streets, &e.
23
19. On many farms, cows are kept for the milk they
yield ; and for the purpose of making butter or cheese.
Butter is made from cream by agitating it in a churn ;
and is the oily part of the cream. Cheese is made from
milk by curdling it with rennet; and the curd is. then
pressed, shaped and dried.
20. The rennet is the inside of the stomach of a calf;
and is kept in pickle for the purpose of setting the curd.
The cheese would be white, if the milk were not pre-
viously coloured with Spanish arnotta. The largest
cheese farms in England, are in Cheshire and Denbigh-
shire ; and on some of tbese, 500 milch cows are kept.
In the United States, the largest dairies are in New-
England and New York.
21. Farmers likewise extract cider from apples ; perry
from pears ; and delicious wines from various fruits.
22. The Potato, so considerable and wholesome a
portion of our food, was unknown in Europe, about two
centuries ago ; and was brought from America by sir
Walter Raleigh. The period is on record, (500 years be-
fore Christ,) when the first wheat was brought into Eu-
rope from Asia Minor. Peas, beans, and ail other grain,
are exoticks in england.
23. Such, also, is the art of man, that he improves
whatever he cultivates. By grafting buds of superior
fruits on ordinary stocks, he amends, and even alters,
the natural produce of the tree ; and by managing and
selecting his seeds, he improves and enlarges every vege-
table production.

OF ARCHITECTURE.
1. After the art of building had attained what was
useful and necessary ; luxury would aim at ornament, —
an ingenious carpenter would become a carver ; and an
ingenious stone-mason, a sculptor*.
2. The pillars, which supported the work, would not be
allowed to be quite plain ; but would be cut or carved
in ornaments, at the head aud base ; and other parts of
the room, or structure, would be made to correspond.
Hence arose the different orders of Architecture.
3. Five of the orders of architecture were successively
invented in ancient Greece and Italy ; and are called the
Tuscan, the Dorick, the Ionick, the Corinthian, and the
Composite : they are to be found in all the principal
buildings of the Christian world.
4. The Saxons, also, had a simple style of architec-
ture ; distinguished by semi-circular arches and massive
plain columns: these still are found in many of our oldest
buildings.
130
!",. The Normans, too, invented a beautiful style of
architecture, called the Go-thick ; distinguished by its light*
ness and profuse ornaments ; hy its pointed arches; and
Ly its pillars, carved to imitate several conjoined.
(i. The Oiothick architecture is found in all our ok!
. at! e Irals; ahd is often elegantly adopted in private
dwellings.
7. The Hindoos, Egyptians, Chinese, and Moors, have
likewise their own separate styles of ornamental building,
;:nd nothing can be more grand, harmonious, and pic-
l tre.: [ue, than the splendid specimens, which are to be
seen iu their several countries.

~Q®& —
OF THE MECHANICAL POWERS.
1. That body, which communicates motion to another,
js called the Power.
2 That body, which receives motion from another, is
called the Weight,
8. The instruments called Mechanical Powers are the
following ; viz. the Lever, of which there are three kinds
(but one is shown in the Cut:) the Wheel and Axis, the
Pulley, the Inclined Plane, the Screw and Wedge.
4. Without the aid of art, man could not raise massy
Stones to the tops of churches and palaces ; he could
not apply immense beams of timber to his purposes ; in
phort, he would still have been a builder of huts and
cottages. He, however, soon discovered the use of a
lever ; and the principle of that power he soon applied,
in various shapes.
5. A lever is the foundation of all the mechanical
sowers. It is nothing more than a straight stick or bar
of wood or iron; and any common lever may be applied
v an object by way of experiment: a poker, s. fire-shovel,
»r walking-stick, for the purpose of illustration, is as
•ood a lever as any that could be made. Lay a shovel
cross a fender, and put a large coal into it, then balance
te coal with the hand at the other end of the ioy
132
in this situation, the shovel is a lever, the fender is the
fulcrum, the coal is the weight or resistance, and the hand
;s the power to raise and overcome it.
6. The grand principle then of mechanicks is this, —
that we gain in power what %oe lose in motion; and hence,
the strength of one man could move the earth, if he
could bring his strength to act upon it with such a velo-
city, as there is difference betwixt his power, and the
weight of the earth.
7. The property of the simple lever is exemplified in
the steelyard used by the butchers for weighing meat;
and in the iron crow.
wsmsms^
mam
iW1::
8. The Wheel and .<4z*s is a wheel turning round to-
gether with its axis; the power is applied to the circum-
ference of the Wheel, and the weight to that of the axis,
by means of cords.
9. The Pulley is a small wheel, moveable about its
axis, by means of a cord, which passes over it.
10. Single pulleys merely improve the purchase; but
compound pulleys enable the hands of those who
them, to move over twice the space according to the
uumber of pulleys ; hence, two acting pulleys increase
the power lour times, and three increase it six. times.
J J. Inclined planes, or sides of hili.s, wedges, sen
133
jacks, &c, are all used in mechanicks, on the same prin-
ciple : their power depends on the proportion between
the height actually attained, and the length of the plane
moved over.
12. The Screw is a cylinder, which has either a promi-
nent or a hollow line, passing round it in a spiral form %
and if a lever be added to it as it presses, the power gained
is so great, that a man can multiply his own strength many
thousand times.
13. The Wedge is composed of two inclined planes,
whose bases are joined.
REMARKS.
A body put in motion would move for ever, if it were
not for the friction of the parts, and the resistance of the
air, which alone stop it. A fourth of all power is lost in
machinery, from Friction and Resistance ; hence, the use
of oil to soften the parts; the necessity of smooth roads
for wheel-carriages; and hence, various contrivances called
friction-wheels for diminishing friction.
GEOGRAPHY AND ASTRONOMY.
1. Geography describes the surface of the earth;
the shape and size of the land and seas ; the boundaries
of empires and states, and their climates and natural pro-
ductions.
2. It also teaches the character of the inhabitants;
heir government, religion, manufactures, and modes of
iving ; and it ought to enable us to avoid their errors, and
profit by their experience.
3. The Sun, to which we are under such sensible
obligations for light, heat, and vegetation ; and without
whose genial influence all the Earth would become a dark,
solid mass of ice, is 900,000 miles in diameter ; and the
earth is 95 millions of miles distant from it.
4. The Sun is the centre of a vast system of planets,
or globes like the earth ; all of which move round it
at immense distances, in periods which include the various
seasons to each, and are therefore a year to each.
5. The Sun has been commonly considered a globe
of fire. But this has been doubted by modern astrono-
mers, particularly by the celebrated Herschel,by whom
M
134
that great planet is considered an inhabitable globe some-
what like our own ; and that its luminous properties which
affect our globe, are derived from its atmosphere. A
number of macula, or dark spots, by means of a tele-
scope, may, however, be seen on its surface, but without
any regular periodical returns.
Great source of day ! best image here below
Of thy Creator, ever pouring wide,
From world to world, the vital ocean round,
On Nature, write with every beam, His praise.
Soul of surrounding- worlds !
'Tis by thy secret, strong- attractive force,
(As with a chain indissolubly bound.)
Thy system rolls entire ; from the far bourn
Of utmost " Herschel," wheeling wide his round
Of" eighty" years; to Mercury, whose disk
Can scarce be caught by philosophick eye,
Lost in the near effulgence of thy blaze. Thomson.
6. There are also a multitude of bodies, some as large
as the earth, called Comets, which exhibit very peculiar
phenomena of the Sun. The Planets move round him in
orbits nearly circular, but Comets almost touch the Sun
in one part of their orbit, and then stretch out into space
thousands of millions of miles.
7. The twinkling stars, of which we see so many,
every clear evening, do not belong to our solar system,
but are supposed to be so many Suns to other systems
like ours.
8. Each Star is supposed to be the centre of its own
system ; and to have planets, moons, and comets moving
round it at immense distances, like those of our solar
system !
Bright legions swarm unseen, and sing, unheard
By mortal ear, the glorious Architect,
In this his universal temple, hung
With lustres, with innumerable lights,
That shed religion on the soul ; at once, —
The temple and the preacher ! O how loud,
It calls Devotion ! genuine growth of night !
— Devotion ! daughter of Astronomy !
An undevout astronomer is mad ! Young.
9. They are called fixed stars, because they never
appear to move, and are so distant, that, although the
orbit of the earth is twice 95 millions, or 190 millions
135
of miles across ; and we are consequently ItK. .-.prions
of miles nearer to some stars at one time than we are at
another, yet the stars always appear in the same places.
Oh Nature ! all sufficient i over all !
Enrich me with a knowledge of thy works !
Snatch me to heaven ; and show thy wonders there ;— ■
World beyond world, in infinite extent,
Profusely scattered o'er the blue immense. Thomson,
45. The distance of the nearest of the fixed stars from
the earth is estimated to be not less than many thousand
millions of miles, and they are all of them probably as
far distant from each other. They appear to fill infinite
space in vast clusters or systems, and our sun is supposed
to be one of that amazing cluster of stars, whose myriads
form that bright cloud or path in the heavens, called the
Milky Way.
'Twas God who form'd the concave sky,
And all the shining orbs on high :
Who gave the various beings birth
That people all the spacious earth.
'Tis he that bids the tempest rise,
And rolls the thunder through the skies.
His voice the elements obey :
Thro' all the earth extends his sway ;
His goodness all his creatures share :
But man is his peculiar care. —
Then, while they all proclaim his praise,
Let man his voice the loudest raise.

READING LESSON IV.
LITERATURE.
1. After the invention of letters, the genius of man
taking different directions, some of them excelled in po-
etical, and some in prosaick compositions. These again
assumed different characters, according to the subjects
treated of.
% Hence, we have in Verse, epick poems, descriptive
poems, and elegiack, dramatick, and satirical poems :
3. And in Prose-writing, we have historical, descrip-
tive, didactick, and epistolary compositions of an almost
infinite variety of kinds and qualities.
4. Poetry is the glowing language of impassioned
feeling, generally found in measured lines, and often in
rhyme.
5. Most ancient people have had their poets ; and
among the Hebrews they were called prophets.
David was an inspired poet of the Hebrews :
Homer, one of the earliest poets of the Greeks :
Ossian, an ancient poet of the Scots :
Taliesen, an ancient poet of the Welsh :
And Odin, an early poet of the Scandinavians.
G. The Greeks were the fathers of poetry, literature, phi-
losophy, and the arts. Homer was the first and the prince
of poets : and he celebrated the siege of Troy, in the
Iliad and Odyssey, two epick poems, which never have,
and perhaps, never will be surpassed.
139
7. In the same line of poetical composition, he_was
followed, after 900 years, by Virgil, in the ^Eneid :
8. By Tasso, after another 1500 years, in the Jerusa-
lem Delivered.
9. And by Milton, about 150 years ago, in Paradise
Lost . — tne finest poem ever written after the Iliad.
10. All these were so many miracles of human genius :
besides these great names, there have been many other
poets, whose works would vie with those of any age or
country.
11. Poetry is classed under the heads epich, or heroick ;
drarnatick, or representative ; lyrick, or such as is suited
to musick, as odes, songs, &c. ; didactick, or instructive ;
elegiack, or sentimental and affecting ; satirical, epigram-
matick, or witty and ludicrous ; and pastoral, or descrip-
tive of rustick life.
12. Versification, in the English language, depends on
the modulation of the accents, and the disposition of the
pauses. It is either rhyme, or recurring rhyme, alter-
nate, or interchanging rhyme, or in triplets of three lines ;
or blank verse, in which the metrical principle is in the
pauses, the lines flowing into, each other.
13. The heroick verse consists of ten syllables; and
its harmony depends on -the regular distribution of ac-
cented and unaccented syllables ; and its character of
solemnity or liveliness, depends on the order of those
syllables.
14. Thus, when the accent is on every other syllable,
it is called iambick verse ; as
A s/ifpherd's hoy, he seeks no higher name,
Led forth his flock, beside the silver Thame.
15. The monotony of recurring accents is obviated by
the varied disposition of the ccesural pause. When this
pause is on the fourth syllable, the strain is smooth and
airy : as
Soft is the strain, | when zephyr gently blows,
And the smooth stream, | in smoother murmur flows.
10. Or, it is still quicker, when placed at the second
syllable ; as,
Not so, | when swift Camilla scours the plain.
140
if. The following affords instances of various pauses,
which give as many different effects to the lines : —
0 friend, | may each domestick bliss be thine ;
Be no un pleasing melancholy | mine.
Or,
Mo, | let tlie tender office long engage,
To rock the cradle | of declining age.
Or,
O cruel, beauteous, | ever lovely, tell,
Is it in heaven | a crime to love to dwell ?
18. The anapecstick, or dactylick verse, iswhere the ac-
cent falls on every third syllable ; as,
I am monarch of all I surrey,
My right there is none to dispute ;
From the centre all round to the sea,
I am lord of the fowl and the brute,
Or,
Tis night j and the landscape is lovely no more ;
1 mourn; | but ye icood\znds | I mourn not for you;
For morn is approaching, your charms to restore,
Refreshed with fresh /ragrai^fccml glitt 'ring with dew.
19. Various other kinds o^-erses are to be found h
the works of the poets ; but the above are the mos.
common.

new settlement. It was called the Colonists. Colonists
are the people who go to live together in a new country.
Mr. Barlow was the founder of the colony. Founder
is a beginner. Profession is a man's business or trade.
"Come," said Mr. Barlow, to his boys, ".I have a new
play for you. I will he the founder of a colony ; and you
shall be people of different trades and professions, coming
' to offer yourselves to go with me. — What are you, Arthur V
A. I am a farmer, sir.
Mr. B. Very well ! Farming is the chief thing we have
to depend upon. The farmer puts the seed into the earth,
and takes care of it when it is grown to the ripe corn ;
without the farmer we should have no bread. But you
must work very hard y there will be trees to cut down, and
roots to drag out, and a great deal of labour.
A. I shall be ready to do my part.
Mr. B. Well, then I shall take you willingly, and as
many more such good fellows as you can find. We shall
have land enough ; and you may fall to work, as soon as
you please. Now for the next.
Beverly. I am a miller, sir.
Mr. B. A very useful trade ! our corn must be ground,
or it will do us but little good ; what must we do for a
miH, my friend 1
B. I suppose we must make one.
Mr. B. Then we must take a mill-wright with us, and
carry mill-stones. Who is next?
Charles. I am a carpenter, sir.
Mr. B. The most necessary man that could offer. We
shall find you work enough, never fear. There will be
houses to build, fences to make, and chairs and tables
besides. But all our timber is growing ; we shall have
hard work to fell it, to saw boards and planks, to hew tim-
ber, and to frame and raise buildings.
C. I will do my best, sir.
Mr. B. Then I engage you, but you had better bring
two or three able hands along With you.
Ddcille. I am a blacksmith.
S %
JoO
ffr. i>. An excellent companion for the carpenter. We
cannot do without either of" you. But do you understand
shoeing horses 7
Delville. I hope you will find me not only skilful in
this business, but merciful too. I do not curse and swear
and beat with my hammer the faithful horse, when, if an-
noyed by flies, or pricked by a nail, fib happens to cringe
or start. Nor do I fit the shoe by burning away the
hoof; this detestable practice so generally followed by
ignorant blacksmiths saves them some trouble in using
1 ne butteris, for the hot shoe, by heating, softens the hoof
and renders it more easily pared. The consequence is,
cracked or contracted hoofs, and lame or ruined horses.
Mr. B. You have said enough, I am convinced of both
vour theory and skill. You are the very man we want.
You must bring your great bellows, anvil, and vice, and
we will set up a fprge tor you, as soon as we arrive. By
the bv, we shall want a mason for that.
Edward. I am one, sir.
Mr. B. Though wc may live in log houses at first, we
phall want brick work, or stone work, for chimneys, hearths,
and ovens, so there will be employment for a mason. Can
you make bricks, and burn lime ?
E. I will try what I can do, sir.
Mr. B. No man can do more. I engage you. Who
is next ?
Francis. I am a shoemaker.
Mr. B. Shoes we cannot do well without, but I fear
we shall get no leather.
F. But I can dress skins, sir.
Mr. B. Can you ? Then you are a clever fellow. I
will have you, though I give you double wages.
George. I am a tailor, sir.
Mr. B. We must not go naked ; so there will be work
for the tailor. But you are not above mending, I hope
for we must not mind wearing patched clothes, while we
work in the woods.
G. I am not, sir.
Mr. B. Then I engage you, too.
Henry. I am a silversmith, sir.
Ale B. Then, my friend, you cannot go to a worse
place than a new colony to set up your trade in.
//. But I understand clock and watch making too.
151
Mr. B. We shall want to know how time goes, but we
cannot afford to employ you. At present, you had better
stay where you are.
Jasper. I am a barber, and hair dresser.
Mr. B. What can we do with you 1 If you will shave
our men's rough beards once a week, and . rop their hairs
once a quarter, and be content to help the carpenter the
rest of the time, we will take you. But you will have no
ladies to curl, or gentlemen to powder, I assure you.
Lewis. I am a doctor.
Mr. B. Then, sir, you are very welcome ; we shall
some of us be sick, and we are likely to get cuts, and
bruises, and broken bones. You will be very useful. We
shall take you with pleasure.
Maurice. I am a lawyer, sir.
Mr. B. Sir, your most obedient servant. When we
are rich enough to go to law, we will let you know.
Oliver. I am a schoolmaster.
3Ir. B. That is a very respectable and useful profession
— as soon as our children are old enough, we shall be glad
of your services. Though we are hard working men, we
do not mean to be ignorant ; every one among us must be
taught reading and writing. Until we have employment
for you in teaching, if you will keep our accounts, and at
present read sermons to us on Sundays, we shall be glad
to have you among us. Will you go ?
O. With all my heart, sir.
Mr. B. Who comes here ?
Philip. I am a soldier, sir ; will you have me 1
Mr. B. We are peaceable people, and I hope we shall
not be obliged to fight. We are all soldiers and must learn
to defend ourselves; we shall have no occasion for you un-
less you can be a mechanick or a farmer as well as a soldier.
Robert. I am a gentleman, sir.
3Ir. B. A gentleman ! And what good can you do us ?
R. I expect to shoot game enough for my own eating ;
you can give me a little bread and a few vegetables ; and-
the barber shall be my servant 1
Mr. B. Pray, sir, why should we do all this for you ?
R. Why, sir, that you may have the credit of saying,
that you have one gentleman at least in your colony.
Mr. B. Ha, ha, ha ! A fine gentleman truly. Sir, when
we desire the honour of your company, we will send for you.

BRUTUS' SPEECH ON. THE DEATH OP CESAR.
Romans, Countrymen, and Lovers,
1. Hear me, for my cause; and be silent that you may
hear. Believe me, for mine honour ; and have respect
for mine honour, that you may believe. Censure me, in
your wisdom ; and awake your senses, that you may the
better judge.
2. If there be any in this assembly, any dear friend of
gL < V'sar, to him I say, that Brutus' love to Cesar was no
Jpless than his. If then, that friend demand, why Brutus
rose against Cesar, this is my answer ; not that I loved
Cesar less, but that I loved Rome more.
3. Had you rather Cesar were living, and die all slaves,
than that Cesar were dead, to live all freemen ? As Ce-
sar loved me, I weep for him ; as he was fortunate, I re-
joice at it ; as he was valiant, I honour him ; but, as he
was ambitious, I slew him.
4. There are tears for his love, joy for his fortune, hon-
our for his valour, and death for his ambition. Who is here
so base, that he would be a bondman 1 If any, speak,
for him have I offended.
5. Who is here so rude, that he would not be a Roman ?
If any, speak; for him have I offended. Who is here so
vile, that he will not love his country ? If any, speak ;
for him have I offended. I pause for a reply.
6. None ? Then none have I offended. I have done no
more to Cesar than you should do to Brutus. And as I
slew my best lover for the good of Rome, I reserve the
same dagger for myself, whenever it shall please my
countrv fco need my death.
I GO
THE DAY OF LIFE.
1. The morning hours of cheerful light,
Of all the day are best :
But as they speed their hasty flight,
If every hour is spent aright,
We sweetly sink to sleep at night,
And pleasant is our rest.
2. And life is like a summer's day,
It seems so quickly past :
Youth is the morning, bright and gay.
And if 'tis spent in wisdom's way,
We meet old age without dismay,
And death is sweet at last.
— q©©—
ON AUTUMN.
1. 1 pass'd by the grove, and the leaves were fast falling,
And chilly the north wind did blow ;
The quail whistl'd loud, for her brood she was calling,
A shelter to find from the snow.
2. The small birds of summer, that us'd to awaken
The peasants with sounds from the hill,
Have now left our groves, and the vales are forsaken
Of notes from the shrill whip-poor-will.
3. How solemn the prospect of Nature appear'd —
The meadows are stript of their green —
The lily has faded — the rose disappear 'd —
How transient ! how short to be seen !
4. The changes of seasons, exact in their order,
R,oll round on the swift wings of time,
That man may discover the works of his Maker,
And youth learn a lesson sublime.
5. So, when in the winter of life you're declining
Fix your thoughts on the hav'n of rest ;
Trust in a Saviour, and cease all repining^
That you may tor ever be ! I
161
THE WINTER'S DAY.
When raging storms deform the air,
Anil clouds of snow descend ;
And the wide landscape, bright and fair,
No deepen'd colours blend ;
2. When biting frost rides on the wind,
Bleak from the north and east,
And wealth is at its ease reclin'd,
Prepar'd to laugh and feast ;
3. When the poor trav'ller treads the plain,
All dubious of his way,
And crawls with night increasing pain,
And dreads the parting day ;
4. When poverty in vile attire,
Shrinks from the biting blast,
Or hovers o'er the pigmy fire,
And fears it will not last ;
5. When the fond mother hugs her child
Still closer to her breast ;
And the poor infant, frost-beguil'd,
Scarce feels that it is prest ;
C. Then let your bounteous hand extend
Its blessings to the poor ;
Nor spurn the wretched, while they bend
All suppliant at your door,

i« more than one, and the surname, should never be ab-
breviated or written in only initials.
