PREFACE.
In the Introduction to this Dictionary, may be found remarks on ortho-
epy or pronunciation, orthography, etymology or the derivation of words,
grammar, archaisms, provincialisms, Americanisms, and on various other
points of philology and lexicography, and also explanations of the principles
adopted in the preparation of the work. Prefatory observations are also pre-
fixed to the enlarged edition of Walker's " Key," inserted in this volume, and
likewise to the Pronouncing Vocabulary of Modem Geographical Names. To
these several introductory pages the reader is referred for various explanations
and remarks, which it is urmecessary here to repeat.
In relation to etymology, or the derivation of English words, the general
rule which has been followed is, to give the etymons of such words as are
derived from languages foreign to the English, namely, the Greek, Latin,
French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, German, Danish, Swedish, &c. The Anglo-
Saxon being the mother tongue of the English, and the greater part of the
English words which are of most frequent occurrence being derived from
that language, with more or less change of their orthography, the etymology
of these words of Anglo-Saxon origin is, for the most part, omitted.
Much attention has been bestowed on the subject of orthoepy or pronuncia-
tion ; and, with regard to words of various, doubtful, or disputed pronunciation,
the authorities for the different modes are exhibited ; so that this Dictionary
will show the reader in what manner these words are pronounced by all the
most eminent English orthoepists. With respect to words variously pro-
nounced. Walker says, " The only method of knowing the extent of custom
in these cases, seems to be an inspection of those dictionaries which professedly
treat of pronunciation. We have now so many works of this kind, that the
general current of custom, with respect to the sound of words, may be col-
lected from them with almost as much certainty as the general sense of words
from Johnson. An exhibition of the opinions of orthoepists about the sound
of words, always appeared to me a very rational method of determining what
is called custom. This method 1 have adopted." The method thus counte-
nanced by Walker has been pursued, in this Dictionary, much further
than he had the means of doing it, inasmuch as most of the works
which are made use of, as the principal authorities, have been published
since his time. With respect to many of the words about the pronunciation

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

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

13. The letter e has, in several words, the
same sound as a in fare; as in heir, there,
where ; but were is properly pronounced wer. In
clerk and sergeant, it has, according to most or-
thoepists, the sound of a in dark and margin. —
See CiiERK and Sergeant.
PRINCIPLES OF PRONUNCIATION.
14. When e precedes I or n in an unaccented
final syllable, in some words it has an indis-
tinct short sound, and in some it is entirely
suppressed. It is sounded in Jlannd, travel,
vessel, chicken, sudden, wooUen, &c. ; and it is
suppressed in drivel, grovel, hearken, heaven, &c.
15. The letter e is generally suppressed in
the preterits of verbs, and in participles ending
in erf, when the e is not preceded by d oi t;
as, feared, praised, admired, tossed, suppressed,
Tironounced feard, praisd, admird, tost, supprest
I.
16. The long sound of the letter i is heard
not only in monosyllables ending with a mute e,
as in JUe, time, &c., but also in the word pint,
and in the words child, mild, wild; also in lind,
blind, find, hind, kind, mind, rind, &c.
17. There is a class of words, mostly derived
from the French and Italian languages, in which
i retains the sound of long e ; as, ambergris, an-
tique, bombazine, brazil, capivi, capuchin, caprice,
chagrin, chevaux-de-frise, critique, frize, gabar-
dine, haberdine, quarantine, ravine, routine, fas-
cine, fatigue, intrigue, invalid, machine, magazine,
marine, palanquin, pique, police, recitative, man-
darine, tabourine, tambourine, tontine, transma-
rine, ultramarine, verdigris. In the word shire,
i commonly has the same sound ; and some also
give it the same in oblige and oblique, — See
Obliqe and Oblique.
18. In words which terminate in He and ine,
with the accent on the penultimate syllable, the i
in the final syllable is generally short ; as, fertile,
hostile, adamantine, intestine, &c. The follow-
ing are exceptions : edile, exile, gentile, pentih,
feline, ferine, confine, and a few others. Also
when the accent is on the antepenult, words
ending in He generally have the i short; as,
juvenile, puerile, &c. ; but it is long in chamo-
mile, reconcile, eolipile, infantile.
19. With respect to words ending in ine,
and having the accent on the antepenultimate,
there is much uncertainty as to the quantity
of i ; and in relation to a number of such words
there is much disagreement among orthoepists ;
yet the general rule inclines to the long sound
of i in the termination of this class of words.
In the following words, i, in the last syllable, is
generally pronounced long : adulterine, almadine,
armentine, asinine, belluine, bizantine, briganiAne,
eanndbine, coluhrine, columbine, celandine, concur
bine, cotintermine, coralline, erystalline, eglantine,
legaiine, leonine, metalline, muscadine, porcupine,
saccharine, sapphirine, saturnine, serpenliM, tur-
pentine, uterine, vesperiiM, viperine, vUvlirm.—
In the following words, i, in the last syllable,
is short : discipline, feminine, genuine, heroine,
hyaline, jessamine, libertine, masculine, medicine,
nectarine, palatine. With respect to dkaline,
aquiline, as well as some others, the orthoepists,
as well as usage, are divided. In the termina-
tion ine of a class of chemical words, the i is
short ; ^, fluorine, iodine, nepheline, &c. In the
termination ite, the i is sometimes short, as in
respite, granite, favorite, infinite, &c. ; and some-
times long, as in expedite, appetite, satellite, &c.
In a class of gentile nouns, and appellatives,
formed from proper names, it is long ; as, Hivite,
Wicliffite; also, generally, in names of minerals;
as, avgite, steatite, tremolite.
20. When i ends an initial syllable without
the accent, and the succeeding syllable begins
with a consonant, the i is generally short or in-
distinct, as if written e, as in civility, divine,
finance; but the exceptions to this rule are
numerous, among which are biquadrate, chirog-
raphy, biography, divaricate, librarian, primeval,
tribunal, vitality, and many others, in which the
i is pronounced long. There is also a con-
siderable number of words witli regard to which
there is a diversity, in relation to the pronun-
ciation of the i, among orthoepists and in usage ;
as, dilate, diverge, virago, &c.
O.
21. There is a class of words ending in /,
fl, ss, st, and th, in which o is marked with the
short sound in most pronouncing dictionaries,
though some ortlioepists give it the sound of
broad a, as mfaU, Mr. Nares gives the sound
of broad a to o in the following words : off,
often, offer, coffee, scoff, aloft, lofi, soft, cross,
loss, toss, cost, frost, lost, tost, broth, cloth, froth,
cough, and trough. To these some others might,
with equal propriety, be added ; as, offspring,
dross, gloss, moss, mxAh, wroth. Mr. Smart
remarks, "that before ss, st, and th, the letter
0 is frequently sounded dw ; as in moss, gloss,
&c., lost, cod, &c., broth, cloth, &c. This
practice is analogous to the broad Utterance
which the letter a [short] is liable to receive
before certain consonants ; [see A, page xi. ;]
and the same remarks wUl apply in the present
case, as to the one referred to, namely, that,
though the broad sound is vulgar, there is an
affectation in a palpable effort to avoid it in
words where its use seems at one time to have
been general. In such cases, a medium be-
tween the extremes is the practice of the best

xiu
speakers." The sound of o is also somewhat
prolonged in gone and begone, and in some
words ending in ng-; as, long, prong, song,
strong, thong, throng, wrong.
22. There are a few words in which o has
the same sound as u in huU, or as oo in good;
namely, bosom, wolf, woman, Wolsey, Wolver-
hampton. It has the sound of short u in done,
son, &c. ; and the sound of il (as in hurt) in
word, work, worthy &c.
23. In many words ending in on, the sound
of o is suppressed, as in bacon, pardon, weapon,
reason, cotton, &c.
U.
24. With respect to the maimer of designating
the sound of the vowel u when it comes imme-
diately after the accent, as in the words educate,
nature, natural, &c., there is much diversity
among orthoepists. By Walker, the pronun-
ciation of Educate is thus noted — ed'ju-hdt;
by Sheridaji, Jones, Enfield, Fulton, and Jame-
son, thus — ed'u-kdt ; and by Perry, Knowles,
Smart, and Reid, thus — ed'u-kdt. Nature,
by Walker, thus — nd'chur ; by Sheridan and
Jones, thus — nd'chur; by Perry, Enfield, and
Reid, thus — nd'tur ; by Jameson and Knowles
thus — ndt'yur ; by Smart, thus — nd'tur, or nd'-
ch&r. Natural, by Walker and Jones, thus
— ndt'chu-rdl; by Sheridan, thus — ndt'chur-dl ;
by Fulton, Enfield, and Jameson, thus — ndt'u-
rdl ; by Perry and Reid, thus — ndtfu^ral ; by
Knowles, thus — ndt'yur-al ; by Smart, thus —
ndt'cho-rdl. There is a pretty large class of
words with respect to which there is a similar
diversity in the manner in which the pronun-
ciation of u and tu is noted by the difierent
orthoepists ; but the difference is greater in ap-
pearance than in reality. The u thus situated
may properly be regarded as having the slight
sound of long u; and the sound may be noted
by yu, slightly articulated. — Walker remarks,
with respect to the pronunciation of nature,
" There is a vulgar pronunciation of this word
as if written na'ier, which cannot be too care-
fully avoided. Some critics have contended
that it ought to be pronounced as if written
nate-yure ; but this pronunciation comes so near
to that here adopted [nd'chur], as scarcely to be
distinguishable ftom it"
y.
25. Y, at the end of a word, preceded by a
consonant, is commonly pronounced short and
indistinct, like indistinct e ; as, policy, pcdpoMy,
lately, colony, &c. — The exceptions are mono-
syllables ; as, by, cry, dry, fly, fiy, sty, wry, with
their compounds, atery, hereby, whereby, &c. ;
also verbs ending mfy; as, fortify, magnify,
testify, &c. ; also, ally, occupy, and prophesy.
SOUNDS OF THE DIPHTHONGS AND
TRIPHTHONGS.
26. A diphthong is the union of two vowels,
pronounced by a single impulse of the voice ; as,
oi in voice, ou in sound.
27. A triphthong is the union of three vowels,
pronounced in like manner ; as, ieu in adieu, iexv
in view.
28. A proper diphthong is one in which both
vowels are sounded ; as, oi in voice, ou in found.

The diphthongs which begin with e or i, name-
ly, ea, eu, ew, ia^ ie, and io, differ from the rest ;
and they may, as Walker says, " not improperly
be called semi-consonant diphthongs ;^ being
pronounced as if y consonant was substituted
in place of e or i ; as, ocyan, ponyard, questyon,

the vowels sounded ; as, ea in hear, oa in coal.

30. This is a Latin diphthong, and is always
long in Latin. In English, it is used only in
words of Latin origin or formation ; as, aqua vitas,
minutiee, eesthelics ; and it is sometimes long, as
in peean, and sometimes short, as in Dad'alus.
AI.
31. The usual sound of this diphthong is the
same as long a; as in pail, pain, pronounced like
pcde, pane. The following are the principal
exceptions. It has the sound of short e in said,
says, and sailh, and in again and against ; that

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

tier, course, concourse, recourse, discourse, source,
resource, four, fourth, pour, though, although,
dough, mould, moult, mourn, shoulder, smoulder,
poult, poultice, poultry, soul. It has the sound
of broad a, as in ball, or of o, as in nor, in
bought, brought, fought, ought, nought, sought,
besought, thought, wrought. It has the sound of
u in huR, or of oo in good, in could, should,
would. It has the sound of shqrt o, or, accord::

ing to some orfhioepists, of broad a, in covgh and
trough, rhyming with off and scoff.
OW.
55. The Tegular sound of this diphthong, the
same as the regular sound of ow, is heard in
hmv, now, down, town, tower, &c. It has the
sound of long o in helow, bestow. Mow, crow,
flow, fiown, grow, grown, growth, glow, know,
known, owe, own, owner, shmc, snow, soum,
straw, throw, thrown; also in the following
■words, in some of their senses : bow, low, lower,
mow, shower, sow.
56. When this diphthong forms a final or un-
accented syllable, it has the slight sound of long
o, as in borrow, follow, follower.
UA.
57. When both the letters of this diphthong
are sounded, they have the power of wa, as in
equal, language, persuade. In some words the
M is silent, as in guard, guardian, guarantee,
piquant; and in victiuds and vidutdling, both
the letters are silent
UE.
58. When these letters are united in a diph-
thong, and are both sounded, they have the
power of we, as in consuetude, desuetude, man-
sudude, conquest. In some words the u is
silent, as in guerdon, guess, guest. When this
diphthong is final, the e is in many words silent,
as in due, hue, pursue, value, &c. ; and in some
words both letters are silent, as in league, far
tigue, harangue, tongue, antique, oblique, deca-
logue, demagogue, dialogue, &c.
UI.
59. These letters, when united in a diphthong,
and both sounded, have the power of wi, as in
attguish, languid, vanquish. In some words the
M is silent, as in guide, guile, build, guinea ; and
in others the i is silent, as in juice, pursuit,
fruii, &c.
SOUNDS OP THE CONSONANTS.
60. The consonants are divided into mutes
and semi-bowels. The mutes cannot be sounded
at all without the aid of a vowel. They are h,
d, k, p, t, and c and g hard.
61. The Semi-vowels have an imperfect sound
of themselves. They are f, I, m,n,r, s, v, x, z,
erxdcmiig soft
62. The four semi-vowels, I, m, n, and r, are
also called liquids, because they readily unite
with other consonants, flowing, as it were, into
their sounds.
63. The following consonants are styled den-
tals, namely, d, j, s, t, z, and g soft, being pro-
nounced chiefly by the aid of the teeth ; d, g, j,
k, I, n, and q, are called palatals, from the use
made of the palate in pronouncing them ; 6, p,
f, V, and m, are called labials, being pronounced
chiefly by the lips ; m, n, and the digraph ng,
are called nasals, being sounded through the
nose ; and k, q, c and g hard, are called gut-
turals, being sounded by the throat
B.
64. B, preceded by m in the same syllable,
is generally silent ; as, lanib, limb, comb, dumb,
&c. ; but succumb is an exception. It is silent
also before t in the same syllable, as in debt,
doubt, redoubt, &c.
C.
65. This letter is hard, and sounds like k, be-
fore a, 0, and u ; and it is soft, and sounds like s,
before e, i, and y ; except in sceptic and sdrrhus
and their derivatives, in which it is hard, like k.
66. When c comes after the accent, and is fol-
lowed by ea, ia, io, or eous, it takes, like s and t,
the sound of sh ; as, ocean, social, tenacious, ce-
taceous. In the words discern, sacrifice, suffice,
and sice, and several words derived from discern,
sacrifice, and suffice, c lias the sound Of z.
CH.
67. The regular English sound of this di-
graph is the same as that of tch, or tsh, as in
chair, child, rich, church. When ch follows I
or n, as in belch, bench, JUeh, Walker, Jameson,
and Fulton, designate the sound by sh, as beUh,
bensh, fish; but other orthoepists, Sheridan,
Perry, Jones, Knowles, and Smart, give to ch,
thus situated, the same sound as in rich.
68. In words derived from the ancient lan-
guages, ch is generally hard, like k, as in ache,
alchemy, anarch, anarchy, anchor, anchorei, ca-
chexy, catechism, chalcography, chalybeate, chame-
leon, chanwrnUe, chaos, character, chasm, ehely,
chemistry, chimera, chirography, chiromancy,
ehaler, chorus, chord, chorography, chyle, chyme,
cocMeary, conch, distich, echo, echinus, epoch,
eunuch, hemistich, hierarcli, hierarcJof, machinal,
machination, mechanic, mechanism, monarch, mo-
narchical, orchestra, orcheslre, peniaieuch, schema,
sehesis, scholar, school, Dornoch, stomachic, &c.
SOUNDS OF THE CONSONANTS.
The exceptions are charity, chart, and charter.
Ch is hard in all words in which it is followed
by Z or r j as, chlorosis, Christian.
69. When arch, signifying chief, begins a
word from the Greek language, and is followed
by a vowel, it is pronounced ark, as in arch-
angd, architect, archive, archipelago, archetype,
archiynscopal, archidiaconal, architrave, archaism,
archeeology; but when ai-ch is prefixed to an Eng-
lish word, it is pronounced so as to rhyme with
march; as, archbishop, archduke, archrjiend. In
drachm, sdiism, and yacht, ch is silent
D.
70. The termination ed, assumed by the pre-
terit and participle, in some words takes the
sound of d added to the preceding syllable ; as,
healed, sealed, pronounced heald, seald; and in
some it takes the sound of t, added in the same
manner ; as, distressed, mixed, pronounced distrest,
mixt. Some words, which, when used as parti-
ciples, are pronounced in one syllable, are, when
used as adjectives, pronounced in two ; as,
learned, blessed, winged.
F.
71. This letter has a uniform sound, except
in the preposition q^,' in which it has the sound
of V.
G.
72. G, like c, has two sounds, one hard and
the other soft. It is hard before a, o, and u.
The only exception is gaol, which is commonly
written, as well as pronounced, jaU.
73. G, before e, i, and y, is sometimes hsird and
sometimes soft. It is generally soft before words
derived from the Greek, Latin, and French, and
hard before words from the Saxon ; and these last,
being much the smaller number of the words of
this sort, may be regarded as exceptions.
74. It is hard before e in gear, geek, geese,
geld, gdt, gelding, get, gewgaiv, shagged,
snagged, (ragged, ragged, scragged, dogged,
rugged, dagger, stagger, swagger, trigger, dog-
ger, pettifogger, tiger, anger, eager, auger, finger,
linger, conger, longer, stronger, yownger, longest,
strongest, youngest ; before i, in gibber, gibber-
ish, gibbous, gibcat, giddy, gift, gig, giggle, gig-
gler, gild, gill, gimlet, gimp, gird, girdle, girl,
girt, girth, gizzard, begin, give, forgive, biggin,

boggy, buggy, doggy, craggy, foggy, dreggy,
jo«gy, J^naggy, muggy, quaggy, scraggy, shag-
gy, snaggy, swaggy, twiggy.
(3)
75. The g in Zowger, (the comparative of long,)
stronger, younger, longest, strongest, and young-
est, must articulate the e ; and these words are
pronounced as if written with gg. Thus longer,
the comparative of long, is pronounced hng'ger;
and longer, one who longs, long'er.
GH.
76. In this digraph, at the beginning of a
word, the h is silent, as in ghost, ghastly, giver-
kin ; at the end of words, both letters are com-
monly silent, as in high, nigh, sigh, thigh, neigh,
weigh, inveigh, sleigh, bough, dough, (hough,
although, plough, furlough, through, thorough,
borough. In some words this digraph has the
sound of f, as in enough, rough, tough, trough,
cough, chough, laugh, laughter; in some, the
sound of k, as in hough, shough, lough. In
dough and slough, it is sometimes silent, and
Bometmies has the sound o{ f.
GHT.
77. In this termination the letters gh are
always sUent ; as, fight, right, height, &c. ; ex-
cept in draught, which is pronounced, and in
some of its senses usually written, drctft.
H.
78. This letter is a note of aspiration, and it
is silent at the beginning of a number of words ;
as, heir, heiress, honor, honesty, honorable, herb,
herbage, hosUer, hour, &c. In hospited, hum-
ble, humor, humorous, and humorsome, according
to some orthoepists it is silent, and according
to others it is sounded. It is always silent after
r, as in rheum, rhetoric, rhapsody, &c.
K.
79. This letter has the same sound as c
hard, and is always silent before n, as in knee,
kneel, know, &c.
80. L is silent in many words ; as in calf, half,
chalk, talk, balm, calm, would, could, should, &c.
M.
81. M always preserves its sound, except in
accompt, accomptant, and comptroller ; more com-
monly written account, accountant, and con-
troller.
N.
82. JV has two sounds, one simple and pure,
as in man, not; the other compound and mixed,
as in hang, thank, banquet, anxious; the three

last being pronounced as if written thangk,
bang'quet, angMshus.
83. JV is mute when it ends a syllable and
is preceded by i or m, as in kiln, hymn, limn,
column, autumn, solemn, condemn, contemn, &c.
84. P is silent before s and t at the begin-
ning of words, as in psalm, psalter, ptisan.
PH.
85. This digraph generally has the sound of
J] as in physic, philosophy, &c. In nephew and
Stephen, it has the sound otv ; and in diphthong,
triphthong, naphtha, &c., the h is silent.
Q.
86. Q is always followed by u, and the di-
graph qu has commonly the sound of kiv, as in
queen, quill, quart; but, in many words derived
from the French, it has the sound of A, as in
coqitet, etiquette, masquerade, Slc.
R.
87. The letter r haa a jarring or trilling
effect on the tongue, and it is never silent. It
has a peculiar influence on both the long and
the short sound of the vowels. It has the effect,
under certain circumstances, to change tlie short
sound of a, as in man, into its Italian sound, as in
far, and the short sound of o, as in not, into its
broad somid, like broad a, as in nor ; and it has
a corresponding effect on the short sound of the
other vowels. — (See pages x and xi.) — When
r is preceded by a long vowel, it has sometimes
the effect of confounding the syllables. Thus
the monosyllables hire, more, roar, sore, and
Jlour, are pronounced precisely like the dissyl-
lables higher, mmiier, rower, sower, and Jlower.
88. There is a difference of opinion among
orthoepists respecting tlie letter r. Johnson
says, that " it has one constant sound in Eng-
lish;" and the same view of it is maintained
by Kenrick, Sheridan, Perry, Jones, Jameson,
and Knowles. Walker, on the contrary, says,
"There is a distinction in the sound of this
letter scarcely ever noticed by any of our
writers on the subject, which is, in my opinion,
of no small importance ; and that is, the rough
and the smooth r." The following is the view
given by Smart: "iJ is a decided consonant
when it begins a syllable with or without
another consonant, as in ray, pray; and also
when it ends a syllable, if it should be so cir-
cumstanced that, ending one, it also begins the
next, as m arid, tarry, peril, berry, spirit, florid,
hurry. Here the r has the same effect on the
previous vowel that any other consonant would
have ; that is to say, it stops, or renders the
vowel essentially short. But, under other cir-
cumstances, final r is not a decided consonant ;
and therefore the syllables ar, er, ir, or, ur, are
not coincident, as to the vowel sound in each,
with at, et, it, ot, ut; neither do the vowel
sounds in fare, mere, ire, ore, ure, poor, our,
quite identify with those in fate, mete, ide, ode,
cube, pool, owl."
S.
89. The regular or genuine sound of s is its
sharp, sibilant, or hissing sound, like c soft, as in
son, this. It has also a flat or soft sound, (called
by some its vocal sound,) the same as that of the
letter z, as in urise, his.
90. S has always its sharp, hissing sound at
the beginning of words, as son, safe ; also at the
end of words when they terminate in as, except
the words as, has, was, whereas, and the plural
of nouns ending ea, as seas, pleas ; in all words
ending in ss, as less, express ; in all words end-
ing in is, except the monosyllables is and his ;
in all words ending in us and ovs, as genius,
famous; in all words when preceded, in the
same syllable, by either of the mutes k, p, i, or
by/, as locks, hats, caps, muffs.
91. S final has the sound of z when it imme-
diately follows any consonant, except the mutes
k, p, t, the semi-vowel /, and Ih aspirated, as in
ribs, heads, liens ; also when it forms an additional
syllable with e before it, in the plural of nouns
and the third person singular of verbs, as in
churches, boxes, prices ; likewise in some verbs
ending in se, to distinguish them from nouns
and adjectives of the same form, as abuse, use,
dose, diffuse, as distinguished from the nouns
and adjectives abuse, use, close, diffuse. But it
is impossible to give rules which will enable
one to see, in all cases, how s is to be pro-
nounced, whether with its sharp, hissing sound,
or its flat or soft sound, like z.
92. S aspirated, or sounding like sh or zh.
S takes the sound of sh in words ending in sion
preceded by a consonant, as in diversion, expul-
sion, dimension, passion, mission, &c. ; also in
the following words: censure, tensure, tonsure,
sensual, fissure, sdssure, pressure, compressure,
impressure, sure, assure, insure, nauseate, nau-
seous, exosseous, su^ar, sumach.
93. S has the sound of zh in the termination
sion, preceded by a vowel, as in evasion, cohe-
SOUNDS OF THE CONSONANTS. — ACCENT.
sion, decision, explosion, contvMon, &c. ; also in
a number of words in which s is preceded by
an accented vowel, and followed by the termi-
nation «re, as in measure, pleasure, displeasure,
treasure, rasure, closure, disclosure, enclosure, ex-
posure, composure, incisure, leisure ; also in sev-
eral words ending in sier; as, crosier, cosier,
osier, hosier, rosier, brasier, grasier ; also in am-
brosia, ambrosial, elysium, dysian.
94. T, like g and c, is aspirated when it
comes immediately after the accent, and is
followed by the vowels ia, ie, or io, taking the
sound, in these cases, of sA, ^am partial, patient,
nation, partition, &c.
TH.
95. This digraph has two sounds ; one, hard,
sharp, or aspirate, as in thin, think, earth, breath,
&c. ; the other, flat, soft, or vocal, as in this, the,
then, breathe, &c.
96. At the beginning of words, this digraph
is generally sharp, as in thin, thorn. The ex-
ceptions are the following words, with their
compounds ; the, this, that, thou, thee, thy, thine,
their, theirs, them, these, those, there, therefore,
then, thence, thither, though, thus. At the end
of words it is generally sharp, as in deaih,
breath, &c. ; but at the end of some verbs it is
flat, as to smooth, to mouth ; also in the follow-
ing, which are written with a final e .• to bathe,
to bequeathe, to breathe, to dothe, to loathe, to
sheathe, to soothe, to swathe, to lereathe.
97. In some nouns, it is sharp in the singular,
as in bath, path; and flat in the plural, as baths,
paths. In some words the h is silent, as in
Thomas, thyme.
W.
98. W, at the beginning of words, is a con-
sonant It is always silent before r; as, write,
luren, wrist, &c.
WH.
99. This digraph is sounded as it would natu-
rally be if the order of the letters were reversed,
thus, hw ; as, when, while, whip, pronounced
hwen, hvrile, hurip. In some words the w is
sUent; as, who, whole, &c.
X.
100. The regular sound of x is its sharp
sound, like ks ; as, excellence, execute, expect, tax.
101. It has a flat or soft" sound, like gz, when
the next syllable following begins with an ac-
cented vowel, as in exait, example, exert, execu-
tor; also in some words derived from primitives
which have the sound of gz in them ; as, exalta-
tion, exemplary.
102. At the beginning of words, it has the
sound of z, as in Xenophon, xylography.
103. X is aspirated, and takes the sound of
ksh, in some words, when the accent immediately
precedes it ; as, fluxion, complexion, anxious,
luxury.
Z.
104. This letter has the same sound as flat
or soft s. It is aspirated, taking the sound of
zh, in a few words ; as, brazier, glazier, grazier,
vizier, azure, razure, seizure.
ACCENT.
105. All the words in the English language of
more than one syllable, have one accented sylla-
ble ; and most polysyllabic words have not only
a syllable with the primary accent, but also one
with a secondary accent.
106. It is the general tendency of the lan-
guage to place the accent on the first syllable
of dibsyllables, and on the antepenultimate of
polysyllables. The exceptions, however, are so
numerous, that this is not to be regarded as a
rule, but only as a general tendency of the lan-
guage. With respect to verbs of two syllables,
the tendency is to place the accent on the
second syllable.
107. A large part of the words of the English
language, especially of the polysyllables, are de-
rived from the Latin and Greek languages ; and,
with respect to the accent of such words, these
languages have great influence ; though, in re-
lation to many of them, the analogy of the Eng-
lish prevails over that of the original language.
108. Words which are adopted from the Latin
language into the English without any change
of ortliography, generally retain the Latin ac-
cent, especially if they are terms of the arts
and sciences, or words somewhat removed from
common usage. The following words have tlie
accent on the penultimate syllable, both in Latin
and English: abdomen, acumen, asylum, bitu-
men, curator, decorum, delator, dictator, horizon,
spedator, testator.
109. Some words which have the accent on
the penult in Latin, are conformed to the Eng-
lish analogy, and have the accent on the ante-
penult; as, auditor, character, cicatrix, orator,
minister, plethora, senator, sinister.
110. Monosyllables are generally marked, in
PRINCIPLES OF PRONUNCIATION.
pronouncing dictionaries, with the distinct
sounds of the vowels, as they are pronounced
when uttered distinctly; but, in reading and
speaking, a great part of them, especially the
particles, as a, an, the, and, at, of, in, on, &c.,
are generally uttered so as to give only an indis-
tinct or obscure sound to the vowels.
] 11. Simple words of two syllables have only
one syllable accented, except the word amen,
which, Walker says, "is the only word in the
language which has necessarily two consecu-
tive accents.'' There are, however, many com-
pound words of two syllables which have both
syllables more or less accented; as, backslide,
doumfall, highway, ligldhouse, sometimes, way-
lay, loindmUl, &-c.
112. Many words of three and four syllables
have only one accented syllable; as, sensible,
penalty, reliance, occurrence, republic, admirable,
agreeable, celebrity, congenial, chcdybeate, &c. But
some have a secondary accent almost as strong
as the primary; as, advertise, artisan, partisan,
complaisant, caravan, countermand, reprimand,
contraband, commodore, reprehend, navigator,
regulator, detrimental, judicalwe, caricature, ani-
madvert, &c.
113. Almost all words of more than four syl-
lables have both a primary and a secondary
accent; and some words of seven or eight syl-
lables have one primary and two secondary ac-
cents ; as, indivisibility, incomprehensibility.
114. The following list of dissyllables, when
used as nouns or adjectives, have the accent on
the first syllable ; and when used as verbs, on
the second: —

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

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

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

137. In relation to all the words here exhib-
ited, these orthoepists agree with respect to two
of the most important points in the pronuncia-
tion of words, namely, the syllable on which
the accent is to be placed, and the quantity of
the vowel in the accented syllable. Though
with regard to the mode of representing the
pronunciation of most of the above words, there
Is considerable diversity, yet it is doubtless true
that the pronunciation intended to be expressed
differs, in reality, much less than it would seem
to do; and that, in numerous instances, these
orthoepists agreed much better in their practice,
than in their mode of indicating it.
138. There is an obvious difference in the
quantity and stress of voice with which the last
syllables of the words deliberate, iniimate, and
moderate, are pronounced, when verbs and when
adjectives. All the above orthoepists mark the a
long in the last syllable of all these words when
used as verbs ; Jameson and Sma*t also mark
it long in all of them when adjectives ; Walker
shortens the a in the adjectives intimate and
moderate ; Sheridan and Jones change the a in
all these words, when adjectives, into short e, as
Knowles also does in the words intimnte and
moderate. But there seems to be no advantage
in changing the letter in such cases. It is but
slightly pronounced, and has not the distinct
sound of either short e, or short or long a ; and,
with respect to most of the instances in which
the vowels in this Dictionary have a dot placed
under them, they are so slightly pronounced, that
to mark them with a distinct sound, either long
PRINCIPLES OF PRONUNCIATION.
or short, would tend rather to mislead, than to
assist in pronouncing them. If the syllables on
which the primary and secondary accents fall,
are correctly pronounced, the comparatively in-
distinct syllables will naturally be pronounced
right
139. In giving the authorities for pronuncia-
tion in this Dictionary, neither the respelling
nor the notation of the orthoepists cited has
been generally exhibited, as it was necessary to
reduce them aU to one system. Their precise
difference is not always presented with exact-
ness ; yet the cases of failure are not important
The different editions of the authors used as
authorities differ in various instances ; and it is
sometimes impossible to ascertain whether the
intention of the writer has not been frustrated
by an error of the press.
140. Two modes of pronouncing a word are,
m many instances, given in this work, besides
the forms included within the brackets ; and
alternatives of this sort would have been pre-
sented in other cases, if different modes had
not been cited from respectable authorities.
The reader will feel perfectly authorized to
adopt such a form as he may choose, whether
it is exhibited within the brackets or out of
them ; and every one will probably, in some
cases, prefer a mode found only within the
brackets. The compiler has not intended, in
any case, to give his own sanction to a form
wliich is not supported either by usage, au-
thority, or analogy. He has, however, in some
instances, in deference to the weight of au-
thorities, given the preference to a mode, which,
in the exercise of his own judgment, independ-
ent of the authorities, he would not have pre-
ferred ; for it would be unreasonable for him to
make a conformity to his own taste, or to the
result of his own limited observation, a law to
those who may differ from him, and yet agree
with perhaps the more common usage. But,
though it has not been his design to make inno-
vations, or to encourage provincial or American
peculiarities, yet he has not always given the
preference to the mode of pronunciation which
is supported by the greatest weight of the author
ities cited ; and, where orthoepists are divided,
he has generally been inclined to countenance
that mode which is most conformable to analogy
or to orthography.
141. The English authorities most frequently
cited in this volume are Sheridan, Walker,
Perry, Jones, Enfield, Fulton and Knight,
Jameson, Knowles, Smart, and Reid, all of
whom are authors of Pronouncing Dictionaries.
In addition to these, various other English
lexicographers and orthoepists are frequently
brought forward, as Bailey, Johnson, Kenrick,
Ash, Dyche, Barclay, Entick, Scott, Nares,
Rees, Maunder, Crabb, and several others ; be-
sides the distinguished American lexicographer.
Dr. Webster.
142. The different English orthoepists, who
are made use of as authorities, are entitied to
very different degrees of respect There is no
one of them who has obtained a higher and more
widely-extended reputation than Walker; and
no one appears to have bestowed longer and
more patient attention in studying the analogies
of the language, and in ascertaining the best
usage. But there has been considerable change
since his time ; and some, who have succeeded
him, have corrected some of his mistakes, and
made improvements on his system; and they
may, in many cases, be considered better guides
as to the present usage than Walker.
143. Of the successors of Walker, Mr.
Smart appears to have given the most care-
ful and discriminating attention to the subject ;
and he may therefore be regarded as the best
single authority for present usage. — For fur-
ther notices of English orthoepists, see page

II.-ORTHOGRAPHY.
REMARKS ON ORTHOGRAPHY.
1. The orthography of the English language
has been undergoing continual changes from
the time of its first formation to the present day ;
nor is there any reason to suppose that this habit
of change wiU cease, while the language con-
tinues to be spoken. If we look into books
printed in the reign of Queen Anne, we meet
with many words having an oi-thography different
ftom that in which they are now found. If we
cany our observation back as far as the reign of
Queen Elizabeth, we find the difference in or-
thography greatly increased ; and when, in our
retrospective examination, we reach the age of
Chaucer and Wicliffe, we find many words,
which, though they are words now actually in
use, are so disguised in their orthographical
form, and are of so odd and uncouth an appear-
ance, that they can hardly be recognized.
2. The early productions of English literature
which are still much read, such as the works of
Bacon, Hooker, Shakspeare, and the common
version of the Bible, appear now in an orthogra-
phy very different from that in which they were
at first printed. The first four verses of the 32d
chapter of Deuteronomy, in the first edition of
the common version of the Bible, printed in
1611, stand thus : " Giue eare, O yee heauens,
and I wiU speake ; And heare, O earth, the
words of my mouth. My doctrine shall drop
as the raine : my speach shall distill as the
deaw, as the smal raine vpon the tender herbe,
and as the showres vpon the grasse. Because
I wil publish the Name of the Lord ; ascribe
yee greatnesse vnto our God. He is the rocke,
his worke is perfect: for all his wayes are
ludgement : A God of trueth, and without ini-
quity, iust and right is he." In these few lines,
which may be taken as a specimen of the whole,
there are twenty-seven instances in which the
words appear in an orthography different from
that in which they are now printed. It is not
uncommon to find the same word spelled in
more ways than one on the same page, as
is generally the case with works even of the
(4)
most distinguished writers, printed in the early
ages of English literature.
3. It is incumbent on a lexicographer, in ad-
justing the orthography of the language, to have
regard to etymology, analogy, and the best
usage of his time ; and if we examine the early
English dictionaries, we shall find that the or-
thography is conformed to the general usage of
the age in which they were published. This
unsettled state of orthography has long been
regarded as a reproach to the language. It is
an evil, however, which is unavoidable, and to
which all living languages are more or less sub-
ject It has arisen from the want of some fixed
standard, not varying like usage ; but such a
standard it is in vain to seek. Some ingenious
men have attempted to introduce a uniformity,
and establish an invariable standard ; but these
attempts have been attended with little success.
4. Johnson says, in his Preface, " In adjusting
the orthography, which has been to this time
unsettled and fortuitous, 1 found it necessary to
distinguish those irregularities that are inherent
in our tongue, and perhaps coeval with it, firom
others which the ignorance or negligence of
later writers has produced. Every language
has its anomalies, which, though inconvenient,
and in themselves once unnecessary, must be
tolerated among the imperfections of human
things, and which require only to be regis-
tered, that they may not be increased, and as-
certained, tliat they may not be confounded:
but every language has likewise its improprie-
ties and absurdities, which it'is the duty of the
lexicographer to correct and proscribe."
5. The Dictionary of Johnson was first pub-
lished in 1755; and with reference to it, Mr.
Nares, in his " Elements of Orthoepy," published
in 1784, remarks, " The English Dictionary ap-
peared ; and, as the weight of truth and reason
is irresistible, its authority has nearly fixed the
external form of our language ; and firom its
decisions few appeals have yet been made." It
may be readily admitted that no other work ever
(C)
XXVI
ORTHOGRAPHY.
had so great an influence on the English lan-
guage as this ; yet it is not possible that the
work of any man, or of any body of men, should
so fix the external form of the language, as to
put a stop to further alterations. Johnson justly
says, " No dictionary of a living language ever
can be perfect, since, while it is hastening to
publication, some words are budding, and some
are falling away." And he also remarks, " The
orthography which I recommend is still contro-
vertible." It is undoubtedly true that there
never was before, during any century since the
first formation of the English language, so great
an influx of new words into it, as there has been
since the first appearance of Johnson's Diction-
ary. Various other changes have taken place.
Some words, then obsolete, have been revived ;
some, then in use, have fallen away ; to some
new significations have been attached ; and
many have changed their orthography.
6. In adjusting the orthography of this Dic-
tionary, much care has been taken ; in doing it,
attention has been paid to etymology, analogy,
and usage ; and in cases in which good usage is
divided, etymology and analogy have been con-
sulted in deciding disputable points. But no
innovation has been made with respect to in-
variable and settled usage.
7. Two of the most noted diversities, with
regard to orthography, are found in the two
classes of words ending in ic or ick, and in or
or our ; as, music, publw, or musick, pvhlick ;
favor, honor, or favour, honour. Johnson, in
accordance with the general, though not inva-
riable usage of his age, wrote tliese words with
the k and u.
8. The use of the k, in this class of words,
was laid aside by many writers before the time
of Johnson ; and it is omitted in Martin's Dic-
tionary, the first edition of which was published
in 1749. Martin says, in his Preface, "In this
respect [orthography] our dictionaries most cer-
tainly want a reformation ; for they all retain the
old way of writing technical words with the
redundant final k after c ; as, logick, rhdorick,
musick, &c., which later writers have justly dis-
carded, and more neatly write logic, rhetoric,
music, &c. ; and accordingly they here stand in
that form through this Dictionary.''
9. In the class of words referred to, the k is
still retained in the recent editions of Johnson's
Dictionary ; also in the dictionaries of Sheridan,
Walker, Jameson, and Richardson ; but in most
of the other English dictionaries which have
been published since that of Johnson, it is omit-
ted ; and Walker, although he retains it in his
Dictionary, condemns the use of it, and observes,
that " the omission of it is too general to be
counteracted even by the authority of Johnson."
The general usage is now so strongly in favor
of its omission, that it is high time that it should
be excluded from the dictionaries. It is, how-
ever, retained in monosyllables ; as, stick, brick,
lock ; and in some dissyllables ending in ock ; as,
hillock, hemlock, &c. The verbs lo frolic, to
mimic, to physic, and to traffic, are written with-
out a final k in the present tense ; but on assum-
ing another syllable, in forming the past tense
and participles, the k must be used to keep
the c hard ; as, trctfficked, trafficking.
10. The question respecting the letter u, in
words ending in or or our, — as, favor, honor, or
favour, honour, — is attended with much more
difiiculty. Most of the words of this class are
originally from the Latin, and are regarded as
coming into the English through the French,
having the termination in that language of eur;
aa, faveur, honneur ; and this is the reason as-
signed by Johnson for retaining the u. But he
is far from being consistent in applying the
principle ; for, with respect to the class of words
which have the termination or in Latin, and eur
in French, he gives many of them witli the u,
and many of them without it.
11. The following words are found in John-
son's Dictionary with the u in the last sylla-
ble:-
ambassadour
fervour
possessour
anteriour
flavour
rancour
arbour
fulgour
rigour
ardour

13. The same principle will apply to the or-
thography of the last syllable of most of the
words in the two lists; and the inconsistency
will be obvious by merely comparing the words
arUeriour and irtteriour, which are written by
Johnson with the it, with posterior and exterior,
which aie written without it In some of the
recent forms and abridgments of Johnson's Dic-
tionary, the u is omitted in a part of the words in
which ho inserted it Some of the English dic-
tionaries, which have been published since the
first publication of Johnson's, scrupulously fol-
low him generally in retaining the u ; yet they
omit it in the words in which he omitted it
Several of the English dictionaries omit it in
all these words, except most of the dissyllables
in the first of the above lists, and the following
words, which are not derived from the Latin:
behaviour, demeanour, misdemeanour, endeavour,
and enamour, and their derivatives, disfavour,
dishonour, favourable, honourable, &c. If we
turn from the dictionaries to inquire what is the
general usage of those who write the language,
we shall find it in a very unsettled state. In
the United States, it is the prevailing, though by
no means the universal, practice to exclude the
u from all this class of words. " In England,"
says Mr. Smart, (1836,) "such is not the practice
of the day, although some years ago there was a
great tendency towards it The following, indeed,
are inclined to the Latin termination, and some
of them so decidedly, that to write them with our
would incur the opinion of great singularity, if
not of fault : eiror, emperor, governor, warrior,
superior, horror, tremor, dolor, tumor, tenor,
clangor, fulgor, savor." To these he might have
added a number of others found in the first of
the above lists, with equal propriety ; yet, in
England, it is the prevailing practice to retain
the u in most of the dissyllables in the first list,
and also in such of the other words as are not
derived from the Latin. The eye is ofiended at
seeing a word spelled in a manner to which it is
unaccustomed; and the eyes of most readers
would now be ofiended at seeing emperour, infe-
riour, oratour, possessour, successour, and errour,
written with the u ; and those of many are of-
fended by seeing_/at)or, honor, and savior, written
without it It is diflicult to fiix the limit for a
partial omission ; and the rule, which entirely
excludes tlie u from this class of words, and
which is in accordance with the prevailing usage
in the United States, is the most convenient, if
not the most unexceptionable method.
RULES OF ORTHOGRAPHY.
14. Verbs of one syllable, ending with a sm-
gle consonant, preceded by a single vowel, (as
plan,) and verbs of two or more syllables, end-
ing in tlie same manner, and having the accent
on the last syllable, (as regret,) double the final
consonant of the verb, on assuming an additional
syllable; as, plan, planned ; regret, regretted ; —
but, if a diphthong precedes the last consonant,
(as join,) or the accent is not on the last sylla-
ble, (as suffer,) the consonant is not doubled ; as,
join, joined ; suffer, suffered.
15. There is an exception to the last clause
of the above rule, with respect to most of the
verbs ending in the letter I, which, on assuming
an additional syllable, are allowed, by general
usage, to double the I, though the accent is not
on the last syllable ; as, travel, travelling, trav-
elled, traveller; libel, libelling, libelled, libeller,
libellous; duel, duelling, dueller, duellist. But
the derivatives of parallfl are written without
doubling the final I ; as, paralleled, unparalleled.
16. The following list comprises the verbs
ending in I, which, without having the accent
on the last syllable, yet commonly double the
final I: —
apparel dishevel handsel
bevel drivel hatchel
bowel duel imperil
cancel embowel jewel
carol enamel kennel
cavil empanel label
channel equal level
chisel gambol libel
counsel gravel marshal
cudgel grovel marvel
17. The derivatives of these verbs are
spelled, in the Dictionaries of Perry and Web-
ster, with a single I ; and this mode is also more
or less favored by the lexicographers Ash and
Walker, by Bishop Lowth, and by some other
scholars ; and it evidently better accords with
the analogy of the language ; though the pre-i
vailing usage is to double the I
model
rival
panel
rowel
parcel
shovel
pencil
shrivel
peril
snivel
pistol
tassel
pommel
trammel
quarrel
travel
ravel
tunnel
revel
unravel
XXVIU
ORTHOGRAPHV
18. The verb to lias commonly doubles the s
on assuming an additional syllable ; as, Massing,
biassed, biasser. The verb to kidnap, on assum-
ing another syllable, always doubles the p ; and
the word worship also, according to general
usage, does so ; as, kidnapping, kidnapped, kid-
napper ; worshipping, worshipped, ivorshipper.
19. There is some diversity in usage, with re-
spect to several other verbs ending in p, and
also with respect to several ending in t, which,
although the accent is not on the last syllable,
are sometimes allowed to double the last con-
sonant, when another syllable is added. But
the more correct and regular mode is, to write
them without doubling the final consonant, in
the following maimer : —
Benefit benefited benefiting
Bufiet buffeted bufl^eting
Closet closeted closeting
Develop developed developing
Discomfit discomfited discomfiting
Envelop enveloped enveloping
Fillip filliped filliping
Gallop galloped galloping
Gossip gossiped gossiping
Limit limited limiting
Profit profited profiting
Rivet riveted riveting
Scallop scalloped scalloping
Wallop walloped walloping
20. There is a class of words, ending in tre,
as centre, metre, &c., which are often written
center, meter, &c. ; but the former mode, which
is followed in this Dictionary, is agreeable to
the prevailing usage, and is supported by most
of the English lexicographers.
21. There is a diversity with respect to the
use of the letters s and z in a number of verbs
ending in ise or tze;' but the following rule is
observed in this Dictionary : — When the word
is a derivative of the French prendre, the termi-
nation is ise, as surprise, enterprise; but verbs
derived from Grreek verbs ending in i^ca, and
others formed after the same analogy, are writ-
ten with the termination ize ; as, agonize, char-
acterize, patronize.
22. Derivative adjectives ending in able are
written without an e before a; as, blamdble,
movable, not blameable, moveable; except those
of which the primative word ends in ce or ge ;
in such the e is retained to soften the preceding
consonant ; as, peaceable, changeable.
23. Compound words formed by prefixing a
word or syllable to a monosyllable ending in all,
retain the double I; as, appall, befall, bethrall,
downfall, forestall, fuzzball, headstall, install, in-
thrall, laystall, miscall, overfall, recall, savecM,
thumbstall, waterfall, windfall. — Withal, there-
withal, and wherewithal, end with a single I.
24. A class of other compound words retain
the final double I which is found in the simple
words ; as, bridewell, foretell, downhill, uphill,
molehill, watermiU, windmill, handmill.
WORDS OF DOUBTFUL OR VARIOUS
ORTHOGRAPHY.
25. Very few of the words which belong to
the several classes referred to in the above re-
marks, are comprised in the following Vocabu-
lary ; but, with the exception of these classes,
this Vocabulary contains nearly all the English
words with regard to which a, diversity of or-
thography is, at present, often met with.
26. The orthography found in the left-hand
column of the Vocabulary is deemed to be well
authorized ; but with respect to the authority of
that which stands on the right hand, there is a
great diversity. In some cases, this is nearly or
quite as well authorized as tliat on the left hand ;
but in some instances, it has only a feeble sup-
port, and is rarely met with.
27. In some cases, words are so variously
affected by etymology, analogy, lexicographical
authority, and general usage, that it is difficult
to determine what orthography is best supported.
This is the fact with respect to the words abridg-
ment or abridgement, bass or base, (in music,)
chintz or chints, connection or connexion, controller
or comptroller, contemporary or cotemporary, de-
spatch or dispatch, dexterous or dextrous, diocese
or diocess, divest or devest, duchy or dutchy,
guarantee or guaranty, hinderance or hindrance,
holiday or holyday, jail or gaol, judgment or
judgement, marquis or marquess, loadstone or
lodestone, loadstar or lodestar, meagre or meager,
naught or nought, preterit or preterite, pumpkin or
pompion, recognizance or recognisance, sceptic or
skeptic, strew or straw, thresh or thrash, waive or
wave, (to put off,) woe or wo, yelk or yolk, and
various others. — See the following words in
the Dictionary : Despatch, Guarantee, Judg-
ment, Sceptic, Soliped, Soothe, and Trav-
eller.
28. There is a class of words which have, in
their derivation, a twofold origin, from tlie
Latin and the French languages, and are in-
diiferently written with the first syllable en or
WORDS OF DOUBTFUL OR VARIOUS ORTHOGRAPHY.

in, the former being derived from the French,
and the latter from the Latin. With respect to
some of these, it is difficult to determme which
form is best supported by usage. This is the
fact in relation to the words enclose or inclose,
inquire or enquire, insure or ensure, and several
others. A few of these words, respecting which
the two forms are about equally authorized, are
placed in the left-hand column in each mode,
and stand in a corresponding manner in the Dic-
tionary ; but those which are not repeated under
tlie two initial letters E and /, stand, with the
orthography which is most approved, in the left-
hand column. There is a class of chemical terms,
(most of which have been recently introduced
into the language,) which have the termina-
tion ine or in; as, chlorine, iodine, olivine; or
chlorin, iodin, olivin. They are often seen in
scientific works in both forms ; but in this Dic-
tionary the final e is retained in this class of
words.
29. There are some words, of which the
present established orthography is at variance
with the most approved dictionaries. This is
true with respect to the words chemistry, cheinist,
reindeer, scythe, caste, in the sense of a class or
tribe, and forte, denoting a strong side, or that
in which one excels. The orthography of these
words which is here countenanced, though dif-
ferent from that best supported by the diction-
aries, is the one which is now established by
general usage.
30. Although the orthography of the 'wordshow,
as here exhibited, is uniformly supported by the
best dictionaries, and also best corresponds to its
pronunciation, yet the other form, shew, maintains
its ground by a usage quite as common with the
best authors. — See Show, in the Dictionary.
31. With respect to the word mosquito or mus-
quito, which appears in such a variety of forms,
the spelling here preferred, though little sup-
ported by the dictionaries, is used in works of
science. The form mosquito is the orthogra-
phy of the Spapish and Portuguese languages,
from which the word is derived, and the one
commonly made use of with respect to various
geographical places to which the term is applied.
32. The two different modes of spelling a
few of the words in the Vocabulary, are in es-
tablished usage, and one is to be preferred to
the other according to the sense in which the
word is used ; as, for example, the orthography
oiflour instead of flower, though not recognized
by Johnson, is now well established, when the
word is used to denote the edible part of corn ;
also the orthography of dye instead of die, in the
sense of color, or to tinge with color, is in com-
mon and good use ; yet the forms flower and die
are unquestioned, when the words are used in
other senses.

III. -ENGLISH GRAMMAR.
In this Dictionary care has been taken to give
all the irregular grammatical forms of words.
All the verbs of the language which are often
met with, whether regular or irregular, are con-
jugated; the plural forms of irregular nouns are
exhibited ; and occasional observations are made
in relation to the grammatical construction and
use of words.
It is not deemed expedient to give here any
general system or outline of grammar ; but the
design is merely to furnish, on various topics of
practical grammar, some notices and remarks,
which could not properly be introduced into the
body of the Dictionary, and which may facilitate
the use of the work.
The parts of speech in the English language
are commonly reckoned nine, or, if the parti-
ticiple is considered a distinct part of speech,
ten ; namely, the Article, Noun, Pronoun, Ad-
jective, Verb, Participle, Adverb, Conjunction,
Preposition, and Interjection.
THE ARTICLE.
The article is a word prefixed to nouns to
point them out, or to limit their signification.
The articles are a, or an, and the ; as, a book,
an apple, the man. — For the use of the arti-
cles, see A, An, and The, in the Dictionary.
THE NOUN.
A noun, or substantive, is the name of any
thing that exists, or of which we have any
idea. Proper nouns are the names of individ-
uals, whether persons or things ; as, Alexan-
der, America, London. Common nouns are the
names of genera or classes. English common
nouns are the appellatives or substantives of
the English language, or are such as are con-
tained in dictionaries of the language.
English nouns are mostly formed by affixing
to the radical parts of words the terminations
an, ance, ant, ar, ard, art, ary, eer, ent, er, ier
ist, ive, or, ster, ate, ee, ite, acy, age, amy, ence,
ency, head, hood, ion, ity, ism, merit, mony, ness,
on, ry, ship, t, th, tvde, ty, ure, y, dom, cule, cle,
el, il, el, in, ine, kin, let, ling, ock, vie.
Nouns have three cases, nominative, possess^
ive, and objective; three genders, masculine, femr
inine, and neuter; and two numbers, singular
and plural.
The plural number is generally formed by
adding s to the singular ; as, hook, books ; dove,
doves. But if the singular ends in s, ss, sh, eh
soft, or X, the plural is formed by the addition
of es ; as, rebus, rebuses ; mass, masses ; lash,
lashes ; church, churches ; fox, foxes. If the sin-
gular ends in ch hard, the plural is formed by
adding s only ; as, monarch, monarchs. If the
singular ends in o, preceded by another vowel,
the plural is formed by the addition of s ; as,
folio, folios ; cameo, cameos ; bamboo, bamboos ;
embryo, embryos ; but if the final o is preceded
by a consonant, the plural is commonly formed
by adding es ; as, cargo, cargoes; hero, heroes.
The following nouns, however, canto, cento, grot-
to, junto, portico, rotunda, salvo, solo, tyro, duode-
cimo, octavo, quarto, and some others derived from
foreign languages, and hardly Anglicized, as al-
bino, domino, &c., commonly have their plural
formed by the addition of s only to the singular ;
as, canto, cantos. But there are some, respect-
ing which usage is not uniform. We some-
times see the plural of duodecimo, octavo, and
quarto, written with the addition of es, thus, rftj-
odedmoes, octavoes, quartoes ; and we also some-
times see the plural of volcano written volcanos.
There is a class of nouns, forming the names
of various arts and sciences, which have a plural
termination in ics, but have no singular termi-
nation ; as, ethics, mathematics, mechanics, metor
physics, mnemonics, politics, &c. All nouns of
this class are generally considered by gramma-
rians as properly plural ; though we sometimes
see them, or some of them, joined to verbs in
the singular number by respectable writers.
THE NOUN; THE PRONOUN; THE ADJECTIVE; THE VERB.
xli
Nouns of the singular number ending in y
preceded by a consonant, form their plurals by
changing y into ies ; as, lady, ladies ; body,
bodies ; but those ending in y preceded by a
vowel, form their plurals regularly, by the addi-
tion of s only to the singular; as, valley, val-
leys ; attorney, attorneys, &c. These plurals are
sometimes erroneously written vallies, attomies,
&c.
There is a class of nouns ending in f, or fe,
viz., beef, calf, elf, half, knife, leaf, life, loaf, self,
sheaf, shelf, vdfe, wolf, which form their plurals
by changing/, or fe, into ves ; as, beeves, calves,
&c. The word wharf, according to the pre-
vailing American usage, is conformed to this
class, having for its plural wharves ; though, ac-
cording to English usage, the plural is wharfs.
— Staff commonly has staves in the plural ; but
other nouns ending in ff, and also in /, except
those above enumerated, form their plurals reg-
ularly, by adding s to the singular ; as, muff',
miffs ; proof, proofs, &,c.
There is a considerable number of words
derived from the Greek and Latin languages,
which are often used in English, and are more
or less Anglicized, and of which the Greek and
Latin plurals are sometimes used, and sometimes
plurals formed according to the analogy of the
English language. Of tliis class are encomium,
memorandum, medium, radius, dogma, of which
the Latin plurals are encomia, memoranda, me-
dia, radii, dogmata ; the English, encomiums,
memorandums, mediums, radiuses, dogmas. The
two plurals are generally given, in this Dic-
tionary, under such words as admit the use of
both.
There are some words which have the plural
form, but which are used in both the singular
and the plural number, or respecting the number
of which there is a want of agreement among
grammarians. Of this class are alms, bellows,
gallows, means, news, and pains. — See these
words in the Dictionary.
Nouns formed by the addition of ful (from
the adjective fidl) to another word, as mouthful,
spoonful, are regarded as indivisible compounds,
and form their plurals in a regular manner by
the addition of «; as, mottthfuls, spoonfuls. But
some compound nouns, which have the parts of
which they are compounded connected by hy-
phens, have the plural termination affixed to

THE PRONOUN.
The different kinds of pronouns are specified
in the notice of the word Pronoun, in the Dic-
tionary, where they are also severally noticed.
THE ADJECTIVE.
An adjective is a word added to a noun to
express its quality, or limit its meaning; as,
a good man ; a green field ; three apples.
A great part of the adjectives of the English
language are formed by affixing to the radical
parts of words the terminations ac, al, an, ar,
ary, en, ic, ical, id, He, ine, ory, ate, ful, ose, ous,
some, y, ish, like, ly, ive, able, ible, uble, less.
Most adjectives have two variations from the
simple or positive form of the word, called de-
grees of comparison, namely, the comparative
and superlative.
In words of one syllable the comparative is
commonly formed by adding r or er to the posi-
tive ; as, udse, wiser ; soft, softer ; and the super-
lative, by adding st or est ; as, wise, vAsest ; soft,
softest.
Adjectives of more than one syllable are com-
monly compared by prefixing more and most to
the positive ; as, useful, more useful, mast use-
ful. — The termination ish, annexed to the pos-
itive, denotes a diminution of the quality; as,
black, blackish.
Several adjectives form their degrees of com-
parison in an irregular manner. These are
good, bad, little, many, much, near, late, and
old. — See these words in the Dictionary.
THE VERB.
A verb is a part of speech which signifies to
be, to do, or to suffer; or it is a word by means
of which something is affirmed respecting some
person or thing ; as, 1 am ; you hear ; he is in-
structed.
The person or thing respecting which any
thing is affirmed, is called the sulgecl. A verb
in the infinitive mode is not connected with any
subject, and no affirmation can be made by it.
Verbs are divided into active or traTisitive, and
neuter or intransitive. In this Dictionary, as
well as in most other modern English diction-
aries, verbs to which v. a. is annexed are active,
or transitive, verbs ; and those to which v. n. is
annexed are neuter, or intransitive, verbs.
An active, or transitive, verb expresses an ac-
tion passing from an agent or actor to some
(D*)
xlii
ENGLISH GRAMMAK.
object acted upon ; and it requires ttie addition
of an object to complete the sense ; as, " The
master teaches ^epupU," or "The master teaches
him.'" Here pupil and him denote objects acted
upon, and are in the objective case, governed
by the active or transitive verb teach.
A neuter, or intransitive, verb expresses neither
action nor passion, but being or state of being ;
and it does not require the addition of an object
to complete the sense ; as, " He is ; " " The sun
shines." — There is a class of verbs which are
generally ranked among neuter verbs, and which
denote action confined to the subject, without
any object acted upon; as, "I run;" "He
walks." These are, by some grammarians,
styled active-intransitive verbs, in distinction
from adive-transitive verbs.
A passive verb is formed by associating the
perfect participle of an active verb with some
tense of the verb to be ; and it implies an object
acted upon, and an agent by which it is acted
upon ; as, " Caesar was slain by Brutus."
A regular verb is one which forms its imper-
fect tense and perfect participle by adding d or
ed to the present ; as, love, loved ; call, called.
An irregular verb is one which does not form
its imperfect tense and perfect participle by
adding d or ed to the present ; as, present write,
imperfect wrote, perfect participle written.
All the verbs of the English language, which
are often used, whether regular or irregular,
are carefiiUy conjugated, where they severally
occur, in this Dictionary. It is, therefore, not
deemed necessary to insert here a table of
irregular verbs.
Auxiliary verbs, called also helping verbs, are
those by means of which English verbs are
principally conjugated. They are do, be, have,
must, may, can, shall, will, with their inflections.
Might, could, should, and would, which are re-
garded as the imperfect or past tenses of may,
can, shall, and will, commonly imply past time ;
yet they are sometimes used in the conditional
present and future tenses.
Many verbs are formed by affixing, to the
radical parts of words, ate, en, fy, ish, ise, ize.
The Conjugation op Verbs.
The conjugation of a verb is the regular com-
bination and arrangement of its several num-
bers, persons, moods, and tenses.
The conjugation of an active verb is styled
the ACTIVE VOICE, and that of a passive verb,
the PASSIVE VOICE.
The auxiliary and the active verb To Have
is conjugated in the following manner: —

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

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

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

indebted for most of the terms in physical
science, and, indeed, for a great part of the
terms employed in all the arts and sciences.

V. -ARCHAISMS, PROVINCIALISMS, AND
AMERICANISMS.
1. The English language, from the time of
its first formation, has been subject to continual
changes. Old words have been, from time to
time, falling away, and new ones have been
formed and brought into use. A large part of
the words found in the early productions of Eng-
lish literature, such as those of Peter Langtoft,
Robert of Gloucester, "Robert Langland, (the
reputed author of " Piers Ploughman,") Gower,
Chaucer, Wicliffe, and MandevUle, are now ob-
solete ; and in order to understand these works,
fttrther assistance is necessary than is afforded
by modern dictionaries and grammars. Very
few of the English writers who preceded the
reign of Elizabeth, are now much read ; and the
obsolete words which their works contain may
properly be consigned to glossaries accompany-
ing the works, or to dictionaries of archaic
words.
2. Several of these early productions have
been published with glossaries attached to them,
as the Chronicles of Peter Langtoft and Robert
of Gloucester, by Hearne ; and the works of
Chaucer, by Tyrrwhit. Glossaries have also
been appended to Spenser and Shakspeare.
Some works of a more general nature, relating
to obsolete or archaic words, have, not long
since, appeared ; as " Nares's Glossary or Col-
lection of Words, Phrases, &c., found in Shak-
speare and his Contemporaries," and Toone's
" Glossary and Etymological Dictionary of
Obsolete and Uncommon Words." Jamieson's
« Etymological Dictionary of the Scottish Lan-
guage " also contains numerous archaic, as well
as provincial, words. Boucher's " Glossary of
Archaic and Provincial Words " (designed to be
a large work in 4to.) was commenced in 1832 ;
but only two numbers of it have been published.
The publication, in a series of numbers, of Hal-
liwell's "Dictionary of Archaic and Provincial
Words, and Obsolete Phrases, Proverbs, and
Ancient Customs, from the 14th Century," was
commenced in 1844, and promises to embrace
as great a number of words as are found in a
dictionary of modem English.
3. The early bilingual dictionaries, such as
the English and Latin, and English and French,
contain many obsolete words; and this is the
fact with respect to many of the English dic-
tionaries, as those of Bailey, Johnson, Ash,
Richardson, and others. Johnson says, he
"fixed Sidney's work [Sir Philip Sidney, who
died in 1586] for the boundary, beyond which
he made few excursions." Johnson's Diction-
ary, however, as he left it, contains many obso-
lete words, a considerable portion of which were
taken from Bailey's Dictionary, though of such
words he did not take near all that are found
in Bailey. Of the words added by Mr. Todd,
a much larger proportion are obsolete than of
those admitted by Johnson ; and of Todd's addi-
tional words, particularly in his second edition,
there are many which are of merely local or
provincial use, and some of them are unworthy
of being mserted in a general dictionary of the
language.
4. A dictionary of the English language, in
order to be complete, must contain aU the words,
whether obsolete or not, found in books which
are much read, such, for example, as the com-
mon version of the Scriptures, and the works
of Shakspeare and of Milton ; though there are
many words in these works which are now ob-
solete, and many which, though not obsolete, are
used in an obsolete sense, that needs explan-
ation.
5. William Caxton, who first introduced print-
ing into England, in his Preface to a Transla-
tion of Virgil's ^neid, printed in 1490, speaking
of the innovations then made in the English lan-
guage, and the differences of the language in
the different parts of the kingdom, says, that he
" toke an olde boke and redde therein, and cer-
taynly the Englisshe was so rude and brood, that
he coulde not wele understande it" " And
certaynly," he says, " our language now used

vaiyeth ferre ftom that which was used and
spoken when I was horn. For we Englissh men
ben borne under the domynacyon of the mone,
which is never stedfaste, but ever waverynge,
wexyng one season, and waneth and dis-
creaseth another season ; and that comyne Eng-
lisshe that is spoken one shyre varyeth from
anotlier, insomuche, that in my dayes happened,
that certayn merchauntes were in a shipp in
Tamyse; for to have saUed over the see into
Zelande, and for lacke of wynde they taryed
atte Forland, and went to lande for to refreshe
them; and one of them, named ShefFelde, a
mercer, came into an hows, and axed for mete,
and specyally he axed for egges, and the goode
wyf answerde, that she coude speke no Frenshe.
And the marchaunt was angry, for he also
coude speke no Frenshe, but wolde have hadde
egges, and she understode him not. And then
at laste another sayd, that he wolde have eyren ;
then the goode wyf sayd, that she understode
him well. Loo what sholde a man in thyse days
now wryte, egges or eyren ? Certaynly it is
hard to playse every man, by cause of dyversyte
and chaunge of langage ; for in these days
every man, that is in ony reputacyon in his
countre, will utter his communicacyon and mat-
ters in such manners and termes, that fewe men
shall understonde them; and som honest and
grete clerkes have been wyth me, and desired
me to wryte the moste curyous termes that I
coude find. And thus between playn, rude,
and curious, 1 stand abashed. But in my judg-
mente, the comyn termes that be dayli used,
ben lighter to be understonde than the olde
auncyent Englisshe."
6. England abounds in provincialisms and
local dialects; and in some districts of the
country, the peculiarities of the language are so
great, that the speech of the common people
can be but imperfectly understood by those
who are unacquainted with their peculiar dia-
lect. These peculiarities, or archaisms, are of
great antiquity, and, as stated by Forby, "are
all, in substance, remnants and derivatives of
the language of past ages, which were, at some
time or other, in common use, though in long
process of time they have become only locally
used and understood."
7. Of tlie local dialects, one of the most noted
is the Craven Dialect, which is spoken in the
deanery of Craven, a district of Upwards of
thirty miles in length and nearly as many in
breadth, situated in the northern part of the
west-riding of the county of York. Mr. Carr,
the author of the "Craven Dialect and Glos-
sary," maintains that it was « the language of
crowned heads, of the court, and of the most
eminent English historians, divines, and poets,
of former ages.'' These provincialisms now
form, to a great extent, the colloquial language
of the lower classes ; and many of them are
found in the early productions of English litera^
ture ; but in books of modern origin, they are
seen chiefly in glossaries.
8. The Edinburgh Review [vol. Ixxix. 1844]
contains the following statement
" The number of provincial words that have
hitherto been arrested by local glossaries, stand
as follows : —

9. " Admitting that several of the foregoing
are synonymous, superfluous, or common to
each county, there are, nevertheless, many of
them which, although alike orthographically, are
vastly dissimilar in signification. Making these
allowances, they amount to a little more than
20,000 ; or, according to the number of English
counties hitherto illustrated, at the average ratio
of 1,478 to a county. Calculating the twenty-
six unpublished in the same ratio, they will fur-
nish 38,428 additional provincialisms, forming,
in the aggregate, 59,000 words in the colloquial
tongue of the lower classes, which can, for the
chief part, produce proofs of legitimate origin ;
about the same number, in short, of authorized
words that are admitted into Todd's edition of
Johnson's Dictionary. Besides these and the
private compilations made by individuals, in the
course of their miscellaneous reading, there are
some very copious early English VocabularieB
lying in manuscript in the cathedral libraries of
Durham, Winchester, and Canterbury, in the
British Museum, King's College, and other de-
positories, deserving collection ; as well as rare
lexicographical volumes, which issued from the
press in the infancy of typography."
10. A list of the English provincial glossaries
ARCHAISMS, PROVINCIALISMS, AND AMERICANISMS,
Ivii
which contain the words above enumerated, may
be seen on page Ixxi. A considerable number
of these provincialisms are to be found in Ash's
English Dictionary, and also among the addi-
tions of Mr. Todd to Johnson's Dictionary. But,
as they are not found in the classical or in the
popular literature of England, and are rarely
seen in print, except in the glossaries in which
they have been collected, they have little claim
to a place in a general dictionary of the lan-
guage. Were education universally diffused
throughout the country, and the children accus-
tomed to use the same or similar elementary
books of instruction, most of these provincial-
isms would soon be disused and forgotten.
11. The English language as it is spoken
and written in the United States, differs some-
what from tlie language as written and spoken in
any part of England ; and it differs also, more or
less, in the difierent States ; but there is nothing
here at all to be compared with the local dia-
lects of England. The greater uniformity of
language which exists in this country, is to be
attributed to the frequent removals of the in-
habitants from one place to another, their free
intercourse with each other, and to the fact
that elementary education is much more gen-
erally diffused among the middle and lower
classes here, than in England. The Americans
have formed their language more from books,
and less from oral speech, than the English;
and they are more in the habit of having re-
course to a dictionary for instruction respecting
the pronunciation and use of words.
12. The settlement of this country was com-
menced, upwards of two centuries ago, chiefly
by emigrations from different parts of Great
Britain. The emigrants brought with them not
only the common language of the country in the
state in which it then existed, but also more or
less of the local peculiarities ; and in this Way
some of the English provincialisms have been
widely diffused in the United States, and have
Deen regarded as of American origin. The
changes in the language, which have taken
place within the last two centuries, have not
been precisely the same on the two sides of the
Atlantic ; yet the difference is much less than
might reasonably have been expected ; and it is
doubtless a fact, that, among the great mass of
the people throughout England, the deviations
from what is there deemed the correct standard
of speaking and writing the language, are much
greater than among the mass of the people of
the United States.
13. The Americans have formed some new
words ; to some old ones they have affixed new
significations ; they have retained some which
have become obsolete in England; some Eng-
lish provincialisms they have brought into
common use; and there are many neologisms,
consisting in part of new words, and in part of
old words with new significations, in use both in
England and in the United States, with regard
to which it is difficult to determine in which
country they originated.
14. A great part of the differences with re-
spect to the language of the educated classes in
the United States and in England, grow out of
the different institutions and the different cir-
cumstances and employments of the people of
the two countries. There is a considerable num-
ber of words which owe their origin to Ameri-
can institutions, social relations, and occupations,
and which are properly used by Americans, but
which Englishmen have no occasion to employ,
except in speaking of American affairs. On the
other hand, there is a still greater number of
words which relate to the civil and religious
institutions and social relations of Great Britain,
and which are never used in the United States,
except with reference to that country. Such
differences as these have a legitimate origin,
and may be regarded as proper, and not as cor-
ruptions of the language. But there are many
neologisms, or new words, some of American,
and still more of recent English origin, which
are entitled to little countenance. A considera-
ble number of such have been noticed in this
Dictionary ; but many have been passed by as
plants suffered to remain and die in their native
soil, being regarded as not worth transplanting.
15. Among the words which owe their origin
or peculiar use to American institutions, are
the following : congress, congressional, president,
presidential, senate, senatorial, gubernatorial,
state, territory, town, general court, general as-
sembly, selectmen, message, &c. The words ex-
ecutive and judiciary are often used in the
United States as nouns, but not often in Eng-
land. The words electioneer and electioneering,
which are much used here, are also used, in
some degree, in England, though the more com-
mon terms used there, in the same sense, are
canvass and canvassing, which are rarely used
in this manner in the United States. The
word cautits is of undisputed American origin.
Iviii
ARCHAISMS, PROVINCIALISMS, AND AMERICANISMS.
Among the American ecclesiastical terras may
be noted association, associational, consociation,
consociational, to approbate, to result, &c.
16. Among the terms relating to the political
and civil institutions of England, rarely used in
this country, except with reference to England,
may be enumerated the following: parliament,
parliamentary, prorogue, prorogation, hustings,
exchequer, postman, tubman, sergeant-at-law, as-
size, excise, bailiff, lords, commons, peerage, bar-
onetage, knightage. Sic. : among the ecclesiastical
terras, establishment, conformity, non-conformity,
dissenters, dean, deanery, archdeacon, archdeacon-
ry, prebend, prebendary, canon, canonry, vicar,
vicarage, curate, curacy, dignity, dignified, bene-
fice, beneficed, advowson, commendam, donative,
preferment, impropriation, impropriator, &c.
Among the many neologisms which may claim
the undisputed honor of English origin, are con-
stituency, boroughmonger, squirarchy, shopocracy,
conservatism, radicalism, liberalism, chartism, An-
glicanism, high-churchism, dissenterism, volunta-
ryism, &c.
17. There is a difference between the two
countries in relation to the terms employed to
designate their respective literary institutions,
and also with respect to the technical terras
used in their universities and colleges. The
following English university terras, for example,
are not at all used here in the same sense : act,
wrangler, optime, bursar, commoner, sizar, pen-
sioner, servitor, hattelhr, foundationer ; and the
following American terms do not appear to be
used in the same sense in England, naraely,
commencement, senior, junior, sophomore, fresh-
man, salutatory, beneficiary.
18. Some words, more or less in use, are re-
garded as of Indian origin ; as, calumet, choco-
late, hominy, moccason, mush, papoose, potato,
pounvow, quahaug, sachem, sagamore, samp, suc-
cotash, squash, squaw, tobacco, tomato, tomahawk,
wampum, wigwam, Yankee.
19. Of the English provincialisms which are
often used in the United States, may be enu-
merated, to unit, to slump, to rile or to roil, slumpy,
slosh, slush, sloshy, slushy, rily or roily, spunk,
spunky, spry, squirm, squiggle, quackle, shote,
Sue.
20. There is a considerable number of words
the propriety of which has been disputed, but
which are now often used both in tlie United
States and in England. Such are the follow-
ing: to advocate, to base, to demoralize, to de-
range, to expatriate, to locale, to obligate, to test,
to veto, prayerful, prayerless, profanity, unwell,
&c. The following words, which are more or
less used in the United States, are little used
in England : to approbate, to belittle, to clapboard,
to eventuate, to jeopardize, to loan; sundown,
bootable, freshet, sled, sleigh, clapboard, shingle,
prairie, snag, sawyer, vendue, sparse, bindery or
bookbindery, lot, as a building lot, a house lot, a
wood lot.
21. The following words have senses affixed
to them in the United States different from
the senses in which they are commonly used in
England: baggage, balance, clever, cob, corn,
creek, fall, lumber, merchant, quite, spell, stage,
store; also the verbs to improve, to notify, to
girdle, to guess, to expect, &c.
22. There are some words which both Eng-
lish and American recent writers have used in a
new sense ; as, to realize, to solemnize, to tran-
spire; obnoxious, temper, &c. Many of the
neologisms which have been stigmatized as
American innovations or corruptions, have been
sanctioned by the use of English authors. The
adjective lengthy, and the verb to progress, with
the accent on the last syllable, are reputed to
be of American origin ; but, though they may
probably have originated here, yet they seem
to have been adopted in England; and com-
paratively higher authorities may be adduced in
support of their use from English, than from
American, writers. — See the words Lengthy,
Prooress, Clever, &c., in the Dictionary.
VI.-HISTORY OF ENGLISH LEXICOGRAPHY.
1. Lexicographt is a branch of literature
which appears to have been but little cultivated
in ancient times. It is doubtful whether the
ancient Greeks and Romans ever wrote what
would be properly called dictionaries of their
respective languages. No such works written
by them are now extant ; nor is there positive
evidence that any such ever existed. The
terms lexicon and dielionarium were not in use
during the classic period of the Greek and
Roman languages ; but they are of compara-
tively modem introduction. Varro, who died
27 B. C, wrote a work entitled "2)e I/ingvA
Latind," which consisted of twenty-four books,
of which only six, and these much mutilated,
are now extant One of tlie books contained
a sort of glossary of Latin terms. ApoUonius
of Alexandria, commonly supposed to have lived
in the time of Augustus, though some suppose
him to have been much later, wrote a sort of
glossary to Homer.
2. " The oldest extant Greek lexicographer,"
says the Penny CyclopEedia, "is ApoUonius
the Sophist, a contemporary of Augustus. His
work, entitled Ai^sig 'OfirjQi»a\, or 'Homeric
Words,' though much interpolated, is very use-
ful. AU the other original Greek lexicons and
glossaries we have, such as the ' Onomasticon '
(or Collection of Synonymes) of Julius Pol-
lux, the lexicons of Suidas, Harpocration, and
Hesychius, and the ' Etymologicon Magnum,'
sometimes attributed to Marcus Musurus, al-
though of the authors of some of tliem the
exact age is disputed, were undoubtedly com-
piled subsequent, and most of them probably
long subsequent, to the commencement of the
Christian era. It is supposed, indeed, that they
were founded upon older compilations of the
same kind ; but of the form of those lost
works we know nothing. It may be reasonably
doubted if either the Greeks or Romans were
in the habit of making use of dictionaries in
studying a foreign language or dialect, as has
been the general practice in modern times."
3. The following is a brief notice of a few of
the earliest lexicographical works that are now
extant. — Julius Pollux, a native of Naucratis,
in Egypt, and a teacher of rhetoric at Athens, in
the early part of the third century of the Chris-
tian era, was the author of the " Onomasticon,"
a Greek Vocabulary, divided into ten books. It
contains a vast variety of synonymous words and
phrases, arranged under general heads, but not
alphabetically, and it partakes more of the nature
of an encyclopffidia, than of a dictionary. The
first edition of it was printed at Venice in 1503.
4. Hesychius of Alexandria, by some stated
to have lived as early as the third, and by others
not before the fifth or sixth century, was the
author of a Greek lexicon or glossary, consist-
ing of short explanations of uncommon Greek
words and technical terms. The first edition of
it was printed at Venice in 1513.
5. Valerius Harpocration, a Greek rhetorician
of Alexandria, wrote a work entitled " Lexicon
Decern Oratorum," (" Lexicon to the Ten Ora-
tors,") which contains an account of many of the
persons and facts mentioned in the orations of
the ten principal orators of Athens. "We
have," says the Penny Cyclopaedia, " no partic-
ulars of his life, nor of the time in which he
lived." Mr. Watt styles him " an Alexandrian
rhetorician of tlie fourth century," and entitles'
his work " Lexicon in decern Shetores." It was
first printed at Venice in 1503.
6. Photius, patriarch of Constantinople, who
died in 891, was the author of the As^saiv
Swaymyrj, a Greek glossary or lexicon, an edi-
tion of which, edited by Hermann, was pub-
lished at Leipsic in 1808 ; and another, edited
by Person, was published in London in 1823.
7. Suidas, whose age and country are not
ascertained, but who is supposed to have lived
between 900 and 1025 A. D., was the author of
a Greek Lexicon, styled by some an " Historical
and Geographical Dictionary," also an " Ency-
clopredia." It comprises the names of men
and places, as well as the words which properly
Ix
HISTORY OF ENGLISH LEXICOGRAPHY.
belong to a dictionary. The first edition was
printed at Milan in 1499.
8. John Balbus, or Balbi, or John of Genoa,
(being a Genoese,) who died in 1998, was tlie
author of the " Catholicon," a Latin dictionary
containing between seven hundred and eight
hundred pages folio ; first printed at Mentz, in
1460, by Gutenberg. "Although this work,"
says Watt, "contains many errors, it has the
singularity of being the first Latin dictionary
after the destruction of the language."
9. Johannes Crestonus (Placentinus,) a native
of Piacenza, was the author of the "Lexicon
Graco-Latinum," the first Greek and Latin
dictionary extant. The first edition, supposed
to liave been printed at Milan, is without date.
The earliest edition, with a date, was printed at
Vicenza in 1483.
10. Calepin, or Calepino, a native of Calepio,
near Bergamo, in Italy, who died in 1510, was
the author of the " Dictionarium," a Latin dic-
tionary, one of the earliest works of the kind,
first printed at Reggio in 1502. It went through
many editions, and received such additions as
made it almost a new work. Facciolati, assisted
by his pupil Egidio Forcellini, prepared and
published a new edition in 1731. " It was," as is
stated by the Penny Cyclopaedia, " in the course
of his joint labors with Facciolati, that Forcellini
conceived the plan of a totally new Latin dic-
tionary, which, after more than thirty years' as-
siduous application, he brought to light under
the title of ' Toiius Latinitatis Lexicon,' four
volumes folio, Padua, 1771. This work has
superseded all other Latin dictionaries." An
enlarged edition of this work, edited by James
Bailey, was published in London in 1828 ; and
it also formed the principal basis of the " Lexi-
con of the Latin Language," edited by F. P.
Leverett, and first published at Boston in 1836.
— " Cornucopia,'' " Breviloquus Vocabutarius,"
and " Gemma Vocahvlorum atque Medulla," are
titles of other early lexicographical works on
the Latin language.
11. The earliest lexicographical labors in
England were performed near the end of the
fifteenth century ; and their object was to facili-
tate the study of the Latin language. The title
of the earliest work of the kind published in
that country, as given in Dr. Dibdin's " Typo-
graphical Antiquities," was as follows : " Promp-
iorius Puerorum. Promplorium Paruulorum, swe
Olericorum. Medulla €lrammalice." It was first
printed by Richard Pynson, in 1499, in folio.
Editions of it were printed by Wy nkyn de Worde,
in 1510, 1512, 1516, and 1528. « Richard Fraun
ces, a preaching or black friar," as is stated by
William Herbert, the typographical antiquary,
« was the author of tliis first English and Latin
dictionary, in which are many old English words
nowhere else explained." "This book," says
Dr. Dibdin, " is printed in double columns ; the
English before the Latin ; the nouns first, under
each letter of the alphabet, the verbs, adverbs,
&c., after them ; both nouns and verbs are de-
clined very particularly. The work was intend-
ed, as the commencement of the account of the
third edition of it specifies, as a companion to
the ' Ortm Vocahulorum,' in Latin and English."
12. In 1500 (the next year after the first pub-
lication of the work above noticed) was printed
by Wynkyn de Worde the first edition of the
work bearing the following title, as stated in Dr.
Dibdin's « Typographical Antiquities : " — " Or-
tus Vocabulorum: alphabetico ordinefere omnia
qum in Caiholico breviloquo Cornucopia Gemma
Vocabulorum atque Medulla Grammaiices ponurir
tur cum perpulcns Additoribus Ascens. et vernae-
uUe I/ingiuE Anglica/nm e3y)ositionem continens."
This is the first edition of the first Latin and
English dictionary, — "a work," says Dibdin, " of
considerable importance to grammatical antiqua-
ries, and the parent production of our popular
Latin and English Dictionary by Ainsworth."
Subsequent editions were printed in 1508, 1509,
1514, 1516, and 1518.
13. The next lexicographical work, and the
first entitled a dictionaiy, (dictionarium,) that was
published in England, was the " Dietionaritim"
(Latin and English) of Sir Thomas Elyot, who
was a distinguished scholar in the reign of
Henry VIII., a friend of Sir Thomas More,
and the author of various works. It was first
published in 1538 ; and the dates of other edi-
tions which appeared before the author's death,
in 1546, are as follows; 1.541, 1542, and 1545.
The title of the edition of 1542, as given by
Ames, is " Bibliotheca Eliota, Eliotis Libra-
rie." It was dedicated to Henry VIII. ; and the
following is an extract fi-om the dedication:
— "To the moste excellent prince, and our
moste redoubted souerayne lorde Kinge Henry

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

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

surprising that, though this work [Bailey's Dic-
tionary] is universally known, having gone
through at least twenty-six editions since the
first edition, dedicated in Latin to Frederick
Prince of Wales, and his royal sisters, (his
majesty's [George III.] father and aunts,) was
published, yet no account whatever has hith-
erto heen given of the learned and laborious
author, who excelled Dr. Johnson himself, in
industry at least, by introducing a far greater
number of words, in his small work of one vol-
ume 8vo., than the Doctor has inserted in both
his volumes folio. We have searched in vain
for an account of this learned lexicographer.'' —
In reference to the above comparison of the
number of words found in the dictionaries of
Bailey and Johnson, it may be remarked, that
Johnson omitted many words that are in Bailey's
Dictionary, because they were not in use ; but
he inserted many not found in it. He speaks
of "the deficiencies of dictionaries," with re-
spect to the number of words, and says, he
"has much augmented the vocabulary."
27. Dyche's Dictionary, a work in one vol-
ume 8vo., "originally begun by the Rev.
Thomas Dyche, and finished by William Par-
don," has had an extensive circulation in Eng-
land. The seventh edition was published in
1752, and the sixteenth in 1777. This state-
ment seems hardly consistent with the remark
of Watt, above quoted, that Bailey's Dictionary
" was long the only one in use."
28. Benjamin Martin, an ingenious man, and
the author of several publications on scientific
and philosophical subjects, published a diction-
ary of considerable merit. The first edition
was printed in 1749 ; the second, in 1754.
29. In 1747, Dr. Johnson published a "Plan
for a Dictionary of the English Language," ad-
dressed to the Earl of Chesterfield ; and soon
afterwards he made a contract with some emi-
nent London booksellers for performing the labor
of preparing the work, for the sum of £1,575.
30. The following account of his method of
proceeding is given by Sir John Hawkins : " He
had, for the purpose of carrying on this arduous
work, and being near the printers employed in
it, taken a handsome house in Gough Square,
and fitted up a room in it with desks and other
accommodations for amanuenses, whom, to the
number of five or six, he kept constantly under
his eye. An interleaved copy of Bailey's Dic-
tionary in folio, he made the repository of the
several articles, and these he collected by inces-
sant reading the best authors in our language,
in the practice whereof his method was to score
with a black-lead pencil the words by him se-
lected, and give them over to his assistants to
insert in their places. The books he used for
this purpose were what he had in his own col-
lection, a copious but a miserably ragged one,
and all such as he could borrow ; which latter,
if ever they came back to those that lent them,
were so defaced as to be scarce worth owning ;
and yet some of his friends were glad to receive
and entertain them as curiosities."
31. Johnson completed his task, after seven
years' arduous labor, in 1755 ; and it is justly
regarded as one of the greatest literary achieve-
ments ever performed by any man, within the
same space of time. In a notice of the work
in the " Gentleman's Magazine " for April, 1755,
just after its publication, the following language
is used: "Let not any one attempt to withhold
the honor which is due to him who alone has
effected, in seven years, what the joint labor
of forty academicians could not produce in a
neighboring nation in less tlian half a century."
32. The publication of this Dictionary formed
a greater era in the history of the language than
that of any other work. No other dictionary
has had so much influence in fixing the exter-
nal form of the language, and ascertaining and
settling the meaning and proper use of words.
Johnson was the first to introduce into English
lexicography the method of illustrating the dif-
ferent significations of words by examples from
the best writers ; and his Dictionary, from the
time of its first publication, has been, far more
than any other, regarded as a standard for the
language. It has formed substantially the basis
of many smaller works, and, as Walker remarks,
it " has been deemed lawful plunder by every
subsequent lexicographer."
33. The next year after the publication of his
Dictionary, Johnson prepared the octavo abridg-
ment; and he revised the large work for the
edition of 1773, without, however, making great
additions or alterations. Supplements to it, by
Mason, Seager, and Jodrell, have been published
in a separate form.
34. In 1814, an edition of Johnson's Dic-
tionary, with numerous corrections, and with
the addition of about 14,000 words, by the Rev.
Henry John Todd, was published ; and, in 1827,
there was a second edition, with the addition
of about one thousand more words, by Mr.
Todd. The words added by Mr. Todd, in his
first edition, were mostly derived from the early
English writers; and a considerable part of
ENGLISH ORTHOEPISTS.
Ixv
them are obsolete ; and of those added in his
second edition, a large proportion are provincial
or local words, some of them hajdly -worthy of
a place in a dictionary of the English lan-
guage.
35. The merits of Johnson's Dictionary have
been by some exaggerated, and by others un-
derrated. But though many defects have been
pointed out, yet no one of his countrymen has
yet produced a work that has superseded it
It would be unreasonable to expect, from the
labor of seven years, a work for which " a whole
life would be insufficient." If it had been per-
fectly adapted to the language at the time of its
first publication, it would be very defective now.
Many changes have taken place in the language
within the last century, and there has been
a vast influx of new words from the various
departments of the arts and sciences. In rela-
tion to these matters this Dictionary was not de-
signed to treat largely ; and the scientific terms
which it contains generally need to be defined
anew, and a great many new ones need to be
added; but in these departments Mr. Todd
made few improvements or additions.
36. The « Penny Cyclopaedia " speaks of the
work as follows : " Johnson's Dictionary has
been accounted the standard work of its class
since its appearance in 1755 ; but, although it
was a great achievement for an individual, and
its definitions, in particular, aflbrd remarkable
evidence of its author's ingenuity and command
of expression, it is, in many respects, as far as
possible from being what a dictionary should be.
Its etymological part (as Home Tooke has long
ago shown) is little better than so much rubbish ;
and it is characterized throughout by a total
want of method and philosophical views. Some
valuable matter has been added by the Rev.
Mr. Todd; but the philosophical character of
the work has received no improvement in his
hands."
37. Since the first publication of Johnson's
Dictionary, many other English dictionaries, of
various degrees of merit, have appeared in Eng-
land, the titles, dates, and names of the authors
of which may be seen in the following Catalogue ;
but they cannot, all of them, be here particularly
noticed. The most considerable of these works
is Mr. Richardson's "New Dictionary of the
English Language," published in 1838. This
is an elaborate work, which indicates an exten-
sive and laborious research into the early and
almost forgotten productions of English litera-
ture ; and it is highly valuable and interesting
(9)
to one who is desirous of studying the history
of the English language, though it is little
adapted to popular use for the common pur-
poses of a dictionary.
38. The greatest and most important work on
English lexicography, that has appeared since
the first publication of Johnson's Dictionary, is
the production of the American writer, Noah
Webster, LL. D., entitled " An American Dic-
tionary of the English Language ; " the first edi-
tion of which was published in 1828, in two
volumes 4to. It is a work of great learning and
research, comprising a much more full vocabu-
lary of the language than Johnson's Dictionary,
and containing many and great improvementa
with respect both to the etymology and defini-
tions of words ; but the taste and judgment of
the author are not generally esteemed equal to
his industry and erudition.
ENGLISH ORTHOEPISTS.
39. But little attention was bestowed upon
orthoepy, by English lexicographers, till after
the first publication of Johnson's Dictionary.
Since that time, many dictionaries have been
published in which the pronunciation of the lan-
guage has been made the principal object One
of the first works of this sort was the Dictionary
of Dr. Kenrick, in a large quarto volume, pub-
lished in 1773. This was followed, in 1775, by
Perry's « Royal Standard English Dictionary," a
small work, which had an extensive circulation,
both in Great Britain and in the United States.
" The Synonymous, Etymological, and Pronoun-
cing English Dictionary," a much larger work,
by the same author, in royal octavo, was pub-
lished in 1805. — This latter is the work of Perry
which is referred to by the abbreviation P. in
this Dictionary.
40. In 1780, Thomas Sheridan, a native of
Ireland, who had been an actor of some note
upon the stage, and was a distinguished lecturer
on elocution in London, at Oxford, Cambridge,
and elsewhere, published his "Complete Dic-
tionary of the English Language, both with Re-
gard to Sound and Meaning, one main Object
of which is to establish a plain and permanent
Standard of Pronunciation." This work com-
manded much more attention, as a pronouncing
dictionary, than any other of the kind that pre-
ceded it
41. In 1784, the Rev. Robert Nares, after-
wards archdeacon of Stafford, and one of the
(F*)

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

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

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

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

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

of these pronunciations as render a decision on that
ground somewhat difficult. Dr. Johnson, Dr. Ash, Dr.

accent on the second syllable; and Mr. Nares, W.
Johnston, and Entick, accent the first. Mr. Sheridan
and Mr. Scott place it on both, and consequently leave
it undecided. Since authorities are so equal, and anal-
ogy so precarious, usage must be the umpire ; and my
observation fails me, if that which may be called the
best usage does not decide in favor of the accent on the
first syllable." Walker. Of the above authorities included

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

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

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

Miss, n, [contracted from 77iw(re55.] pi. misses. A young
girl ; a term of respectful address to an unmarried fe-
male, prefixed to the name ; as, Miss Smith, Miss Olivia :
— an unmarried female kept in concubinage ; a kept-mis-
tress. [" Miss, at the beginning of the last century, was
appropriated to the daughters of gentlemen under the age
o ten. Mistress was then the style of grown-up unmar-
ried ladiea, though the mother was living; and, for a
considerable part of the century, maintained its ground
against the infantine term of Miss." —Todd.] See Mis-
tress.
J)5= With respect to the use of this title, when two or
more persons of the same name are spoken of or ad-
dressed, there is a good deal of diversity. Some give the
plural form to the Tuime ; as, " The Miss Smitlis ; " —others,
to the title; as, "The Misses Smith." In conversation,
the former prevails ; in written or printed composition,
usage is divided ; and in addressing letters^ the latter ia
the more common. The following authorities are given
in favor of the former mode, as used in composition : —
"The Miss Cotterels." James JiTorthcote; James Boswell.
" The Miss Wilkinsons." Ed. Malone. " The Miss
Penns." Richard Rush. " The Miss Porters." Eclectic
Review. "The two Miss Smiths." Chambers's Journal.
— The following are in favor of the latter form: — "The
Misses More." Bp. Some. " The two Misses Porter."
Sir Err. Brydges. " The Misses Porter." Charles Lamb.
"The Misses Gosset." Sir Robert Peel. — Those gram-
marians, who treat of the subject, generally favor the for-
mer mode, (Miss Smiths;) though some make an excep-
tion in addressing letters. — " ' The Miss Smiths * — much
preferable to * The Misses Smith.' " Grant's Grammar.
The following remarks are quoted from Dr. Crombie's
Grammar : " Two or more substantives in concordance,
and forming one complex name, or a name and title, have
the plural termination annexed to the last only; as, ' The
two Miss Louisa Sowards,' * The two Miss JftomsoTw.'
Analogy, Br. Priestley observes, would plead in favor of
another construction, and lead us to say, * TTie two Misses
Thomson^' • The two Misses Louisa Soward;' for if the
ellipsis were supplied, we should say, 'The two young
ladies of the name of Thomson,' and this construction,
he adds, he has somewhere met with. The latter form
of expression, it is true, occasionally occurs ; but general
usage, and. I am rather inclined to think, analogy like-
wise, decide in favor of the former ; for, with a few ex-
ceptions, and these not parallel to the examples now giv-
en, we almost uniformly, in complex names, confine
the inflection to the last substantive. — We say, indeed,
' Messrs. Thomson ; * but we seldom or never say, * The
two Messrs. Thomson,' but ' The two Mr. Thomsons.' "
Hiley, in his Grammar, says, "In conversation the
plural termination is annexed to the last noun only. But
in composition and addressing letters to individuals of
the same name, we pluralize the title; as, ' To the Misses
Howard;' *To JlfessT-s. Thomaon.' But both in conver-
aation and in composition we pluralize only the name of
married ladies ; as, ' Mja. Wilsons were there ; ' * To Mrs.
Sowards.' " — Thus also Dr. Watts : — " May there not be
Sir Isaac JVewtons in every science.'' — You must not sup-
pose the world is made up of Lady Aurora Granvilles."
Miss, v. a. [i. missed ; pp. missing, missed.] To fail of hit-
ting, reaching, finding, or obtaining ; to mistake ; to omit ;
to perceive want of. — To miss stays, (JVaut.) to fail to

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

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

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

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

nouns. In general, relate to some word or phrase going
before, called the antecedent : — they are who, which, what,
and that. — JVho, which, and what, when used in asking
questions, are called interrogative pronouns. — Adjective
prmwuns partake of the properties both of pronouns and
adjectives, and are subdivided into the possessive, the dis-
tributive, the demonstrative, and the indefmte. The pos-
sessive are my or mine, thy or thine, his, her, bur, your, thUr .-

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

three of the numbers are usually given to find a fourth,
is often called the Rule qf Tltrecy and divided into direct
and inverse. In direct proportiouy the second term, if

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

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

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

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

to which our language is so prone in simples of three syl-

which side the best usage inclines. Dr. Johnson, Sheridan,
Ash,Kenrick,Nares, Bailey, and Fenning, accent the sec-
ond syllable ; and Buchanan, W. Johnston, Perry, Barclay,
and Entick, the first. -Scott accents both, but prefers the
first. In this case, then, analogy ought to decide for plac-

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

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

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

25= " Upon a more accurate observation of the best
usage, I must give the preference to the first sound [rcjQt]
of this word, notwithstanding its co':(ncidence in sound
with another word of a different meaning; the fewer
French sounds of this diphthong we have in our language
the better. Mr. Sheridan and Mr. Smith make a differ-
ence between rout, a rabble, and route, a road ; Mr. Scott
gives both sounds, but seems to prefer the first ; W. John-
ston, Dr. Kenrick, and Mr. Perry, pronounce both alike,
and with the first sound." Walker. Most of the ortho6-
pista more recent than Walker, give the preference to tho
pronunciation rdt.

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

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

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

those who profess the same religion ; a division ; sepa-

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

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

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

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

vincials confound with will, is not easy ; and the diffi-
culty is increased by the poets, who sometimes give to
shall an emphatical sense of will; but I shall endeavor,

J^" The pronunciation of this word is very irregular,
as it is the only pure English word in the language where
the final e does not produce the long diphthongal sound
of i when the accent is on it ; but this irregularity is so
fixed as to give the regular sound a pedantic stiffness.

adopted this sound, in which they have been followed by
Mr. Smith ; but Mr. Elphinston, Dr. Lowth, Dr. Kenrick,
Mr. Perry, and Barclay, are for the irregular sound ; W.
Johnston gives both, but places the irregular first. It may
likewise be observed that this word, when unaccented at
the end of words, as, .Nottinghamshire, Wiltshire, &c., is
always pronounced witli the t like ee." JVaUcer.

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

S6l'i-p£d, 71. [solus and pes, L.] An animal having a sin-

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

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

To allay ; to compose ; to assuage ; to tranquillize ; to
calm J to soften ; to mollify ; to gratify j to pacify ; to mit-
igate ; to appease. {fCr " 27i, at the end of words, is
sharp, as deatk, breathy &c., except in beneath^ booth, with,
and the verbs to seeth, to smooth, to sootii, to moutJt, all
which ought to be written with e final, not only to dis-
tinguish some of them from the nouns, but to show that
th is soft ; for tA, when final, is sometimes pronounced
soft, as in (0 mouth ; yet the, at the end of words, is never
pronounced hard. There is as obvious an analogy for this
sound of th in these verbs, as for the 2 sound of a in verbs
ending in se ; and why we should write some verbs with
e, and others without it, is inconceivable. The best way
to show the absurdity of our orthography, in this particu-
lar, will be to draw out the nouns and verbs as they stand
in Johnson's Dictionary : —
JVuuTw, 4'c. Verbs.
Bath,
Breath,
Cloth,
Loath,
Mouth,

" breathe ;
" clothe i
'* uncloath;
" loathe;

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

" Objective certainty is when the proposition is certainly

every intellectual act, we necessarily make between
ourselves, the conscious subject, and that of which we

known by jne,' are convertible propositions ; every act of
the soul which is not thus resolvable, belongs to the emo-
tive part of our nature, as distinguished from the intelli-
gent and percipient. For the distinction between subject
and object, all-important in intellectual philosophy, arid
the neglect of which has been the cause of infinite con-
fusion and perplexity, we are indebted to the schoolmen,
from whom it was derived, through Wolf and Leibnitz,
by Kant and the modern German philosophers." Brande.

^fCr " Mr. Sheridan ia the only orthoSpist who has ac-

Dr. JohnsoUj Dr. Ash, Dr. Kenrick, Barclay, Fenning,

desultory, ia accented on the first syllable by Mr. Sheri-

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

the accent on the second syllable, as if it were formed
from success ; but this accentuation, though agreeable to
its Latin original, has, as in confessor, yielded to the pre-

accent this word on the first syllable : and Dr. Ash, Dr.
Kenrick, W. Johnston, Mr. Perry, Buchanan, and Bailey,
on the second; Barclay and Fenning give both, but pre-

ought to accent words as near the beginning as possible,
there is little doubt that the antepenultimate accent will
prevail." Walker. — " This is one of the words over

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

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

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

of the prevailing usage to render it the preferable orthog-

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

want or abaence off and in verbs, it almost always signifies
the reversing or annulling of the action or state expressed
by the verb. Nearly or quite all the words compounded

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

actor, who frequently banished them from their proper
stations, as in the word virtue, which, they said, he con-
verted into vurtue ; andj in the word ungrateful^ he dis-
placed the u, and made it ingratefidj to the great prejudice
of the said letters. To this complaint Garrick replied in
the following epigram : —
'If it is, as you say, that I've injured a letter,
I'll change my note soon, and, I hope, for the better.

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

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

— " Would has the signification of / wish, or I pray. This,
I believe, is improper, and formed by a gradu^ corrup-
tion of the phrase wmdd Ood ; which originally Imported,
tliat Ood would^ might Ood zoiU, might Ood decree. From
this phrase, ill understood, came ''would to Ood ; " thence
*'/ would to Oodi" and thence /would, or, elliptically,
would, came to signify I wish i — and it is used even by
good authors, but ought not to be imitated."

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

on the S5th of March, the day of the Annunciation,
though the historical year began on the 1st of January.
By the act of parliament for the alteration of the style,
in 1751, the beginning of the civil year was transferred

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

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

worn into the somewhat easier sound of yis, there is no
reason why yesterday should adopt the same change ;
and, though I cannot pronounce this change vulgar,

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

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

JJ5= " I never once called in doubt the pronunciation
of this word, till I was told that mathematicians gener-
ally make the first syllable short. Upon consulting our
orthoSpists, I find all who have the word, and who give
the quantity of the vowels, make the e long, except En-
tick. Thus Sheridan, Eenrick, Scott, Buchanan, W.
Johnston, and Perry, pronounce it long ; and if this ma-
jority were not so great and so respectable, the analogy
of words of this form ought to decide." Walker.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

t Monsieur Launcelot, the learned author of the Port-
Royal Greek Grammar, in order to convey the sound of the
long Greek vowel 77, tella us it is a sound between the e
and the a, and that Eustathius, who lived towards the
close of the twelfth century, says that ^fj, pfj, is a sound
made in imitation of the bleating of a sheep ; and quotes
to this purpose this verse of an ancient writer called
CratinUB :
•O 6' itXiStos (So-n-ep TrpO^arov, /?!?, /??, Uyuiv 0a6i(^Et.
Is fatuus perinde ac ovls, bS, bS, dicens, incedit.

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

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

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

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

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

to proper names, which, coming to us through, and being mingled with, the Latin, fall into the
general rule. In the same manner, though in Greek it was an established maxim, that, if the last
syllable were long, the accent could scarcely be higher than the penultimate, yet, in our pronun-
ciation of Greek, and particularly of proper names, the Latin analogy of the accent is adopted ;
and, though the last syllable is long in Demosthenes^ Aristophanes, Theramenes, and Deiphobe, yet, as
the penultimate is short, the accent is placed on the antepenultimate, exactly as if they were Latin. t
As these languages have been long dead, they admit of no new varieties of accent, like the living
languages. The common accentuation of Greek and Latin may be seen in Lexicons and Graduses ;
and where the ancients indulged a variety, and the moderns are divided in their opinions about the
most classical accentuation of words, it would be highly improper, in a work intended for general
use, to enter into the thorny disputes of the learned ; and it may l)e truly said, in the rhyming adage,
"When doctors disagree,
Disciples then are free."
This, however, has not been entirely neglected. "Where there has been any considerable diver-
sity of accentuation among our prosodists, I have consulted the best authorities, and have some-
times ventured to decide ; though, as Labbe says, " Sed his de rebus, ut aliis multis, malo doctiorum
judicium expectare, quam meant in medium prof erre sententiam,"
But the most important object of the present work is settling the English quantity, (see Rules 20,
21, 22,) with which we pronounce Greek and Latin proper names, and the sounds of some of the
consonants. These are points in a state of great uncertainty, and are to be settled, not so much
by a deep knowledge of the dead languages, as by a thorough acquaintance with the analogies and
general usage of our own tongue. These must, in the nature of things, enter largely into the pro-
nunciation of a dead language ; and it is from an attention to these, that the author hopes he has
given to the public a work not entirely unworthy of their acceptance.
[tf^ There is unquestionably much sound sense and solid argument in the remarks contained in our author's Introduction ;
and the affectation with which the Greek and Latin languages are sometimes pronounced is, to say the least, extremely
ridiculous. At the same time, it would not be amiss to adopt some uniform mode of pronunciation, by which the true
quantity of the words, and some portion, at least, of their ancient character, might be retained. The chief defect in the
English pronunciation consists In the false analogy of the vowel sounds, and the corrupt inflection of the consonants
Cj g, 8, t, before some of the vowels. This cannot, of course, be remedied, without departing, in some slight degree,
from the general rules of our own language j but, if no sounds were introduced but those which are familiar to an English
ear, though not perfectly in accordance with the usage of the English tongue, the trifling appearance of harshness or
formality, which a closer approximation to the correct pronunciation might possess, would gradually wear away, and be
amply compensated by its greater accuracy. Now, in order to attain this end, it will only be necessary to affix to each
vowel its distinctive long and short quantity, and to confine the above-named consonants invariably to the same sound.
The precise rules for pronouncing these letters will be given in their proper places j without interfering, however, with
those of Mr. Walker, which, with the exception alluded to, are clear, correct, and explicit, and, for those who prefer to
adhere to the English pronunciation, the best, without any exception, that can be adopted. — Thollope.]
into moshio and doaheo.^^* This, however, may be ques-
tioned ; for if, in Latin words, this impure sound oft takes
place only in those words where the accent is on the pre-
ceding vowel, as in natio.fado, &c., but not when the ac-
cent follows the tj and is on the following vowel, as in
satietasj societast &c., why should we suppose any other
mode of pronunciation would have been adopted by the
Goths in their pronouncing the Greek ? Now, no rule of
pronunciation is more uniform, in the Greek language, than
that which places an acute on the iota at the end of words,
when this letter is succeeded by a long vowel ; and con-
sequently, if the accent be preserved upon the proper letter,
it is impossible the preceding t and s should go into the
sound of sh. Why, therefore, may we not suppose that the
very frequent accentuation of the penultimate £ before a
final vowel preserved the preceding r from going into the
sound of sA, as it was a difference of accentuation that oc-
casioned this impure sound of t in the Latin language ?
For though i, at the end of words, when followed by a
long vowel, or a vowel once long and afterwards contracted,
bad always the accent on it in Greek, in Latin the accent
was always on the preceding syllable in words of this ter-
mination ; and hence seems to have arisen the corruption
of t in the Gothic pronunciation of the Latin language.
It is highly probable, that, in Lucian'a time, the Greek r,
when followed by i and another vowel, had not assumed
the sound of o-; for the sigma would not have failed to
accuse him of a usurpation of her powers, as he had done
of her character ; and, if we have preserved the t pure in
this situation when we pronounce Greek, it is, perhaps,
rather to be placed to the preserving power of the accented
( in so great a number of words, than any adherence to
* Afnswortb on the Ielt«r T,
the ancient rules of pronunblatioti, which invariably af-
firm that the consonants had but one sound ; unless we
except the y before yj k, Xt Vj ^ ayyeXos, &yKvpa, &yxioTa,
K. T. A., where the y is sounded like v. But this, says Henry
Stephens, is an error of the copyists, who have a little ex-
tended the bottom of the r, and made a y of it ; for, says
he, it is ridiculous to suppose that v was changed into y, and
at the same time that y should be pronounced like i>. On
the contrary, Scaliger says, that where we find a v before
these letters, as avKvpa, it is an error of the copyists, who
imagined they better expressed the pronunciation by this
letter, which, as Vossius observes, should seem to demand
something particular and uncommon.
It is reported of Scaliger, that, when he was accosted by
a Scotchman in Latin, he begged his pardon for not under-
standing him, as he had never learned the Scotch language.
If this were the CEise with the pronunciation of a Scotch-
man, which is so near that of the continent, what would
he have said to the Latin pronunciation of an Englishman ?
I take it, however, that this diversity is greatly exaggerated.
t This, however, was contrary to the general practice of
the Romans ; for Victorinus, in his Grammar, says, " OrtBca
Tiomma, si iisdem Uteris proferuntur, (Latin6 versa,) Ormcos
accentus hdbebunt : nam cum dicimus T/i/yas, JVais, 3LCMtu.m
habebit posterior accentum ; et cum TTiemiatiOj Calypso,
Theano, ultimam circumflecti videbimus, quod utrumque
Latinus sermo non patitur, nisi admodum raro." " If Greek
nouns turned into Latin are pronounced with the same let-
ters, they have the Greek accent ; for, when we say Thyas,
JVais, the latter syllable has the acute accent ; and when we
pronounce Themistio^ Calypso^ Tkeano, we see the last sylla-
ble is circumflexed j neither of which is ever seen in Latin
words, or very rarely." — Serviue. Forster. Reply, p. 31,

RULES
FOR PRONOUNCING THE VOWELS OF
GREEK AND LATIN PROPER NAMES
1. Every vowel with the accent on it, at the end
of a syllable, is pronounced, as in English, with its
first long, open sound. Thus Ca'to^* Philome'la,
Ori'on.j JPJio'don, Lu'cifer, &c., have the accented
vowels sounded exactly as in the English words pa'per,
me'tre, spi'der, no'ble, tu'tor, &c.
2. Every accented vowel, not ending a syllable, but
followed by a consonant, has the short sound, as in
English. Thus Man'liuSj Pen'theus, Pin'darus, CoV-
chisj Cur'tius, &c., have the short sound of the ac-
cented vowels, as in man'ner, plen'ty, prin'ter, col'lar,
Cur'feWj &c.
3. Every final z, though unaccented, has the long,
open sound. Thus the final i, forming the genitive
case, as in magis'tri, or the plural number, as in De'di,
has the long, open sound, as in vi'al; and this sound
we give to this vowel, in this situation, because the
Latin i final, in genitives, plurals, and preterperfect
tenses of verbs, is always longj and consequently,
where the accented i is followed by i final, both are
pronounced with the long diphthongal i, like the noun
eye, as Achi'vi.\
4. Every unaccented i, ending a syllable not final, as
that in the second of Alcibiades, the Hemid, &c., is
pronounced like e, ^: as if written Alcebiades, the Her'
ned, &c. So the last syllable but one of the Fabii,
the Horatii, the Curiatii, &c., is pronounced as if
written Fa-be-i, Ho-ra^she-i, Cu-re-a^she-i ; § and there-
fore, if the unaccented i, and the diphthong «, con-
* This pronunciation of Cato, Plato, Cleopatra, &c., has
been but latelv adopted. Cluin, and all tbe old dramatic
school, used to pronounce the a^ in these and similar words,
like the a in father. Mr. Garnck, with great good sense,
as well as good taste, brought in the present pronunciation,
and the propriety of it has made it now universal.
t This is the true analogical pronunciation of this letter
when ending an accented syllable ; but a most disgraceful
affectation of foreign pronunciation has exchanged this full
diphthongal sound for the meagre, squeezed sound of the
French and Italian i, not only in almost every word derived
from those languages, but in many which are purely Latin ;
as, Faustina, Messalina, &c. Nay, words frorn^ the Saxon
have been eqnaJly perverted, and we hear the i in Wfrida,
Edwina, Sec, turned into Elfreeda, Edweena, &c. It is true
this is the sound the Romans gave to their i; [This is by no
means certain. — Trollofe.1 but the speakers here alluded
to are perfectly innocent of this, and do not pronounce it in
this manner for its antiquity, but its novelty.
X [This arises from the more rapid pronunciation of the
vowel, which is short. — Troixope.]

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

consonant, always forms a distinct syllable ; as, Penel-
ope, Hippocrene, Evoe, Amphitrite, &c. When any
Greek or Latin word is Anglicized into this termina-
tion, by cutting off a syllable of the original, it be-
comes then an English word, and is pronounced ac-
cording to our own analogy. Thus AcidaliuSf altered
to Acidale, has the final e sunk, and is a word of three
syllables only 5 Proserpine, from Proserpina, under-
goes the same alteration. Thebes and Athens, derived
from the Greek O^^ai and 'A&!jvai, and the Latin
Theba and Athena, are perfectly Anglicized ; the former
into a monosyllable, and the latter into a dissyllable ; and
the Greek Kqtjrtj and the Latin Creta have both sunk
into the English monosyllable Crete. Hecate, likewise
pronounced in three syllables when Latin, and in the
same namber in the Greek word 'Exirti, in English is
universally contracted into two, by sinking the final
e. Shakspeare seems to have begun, as he has now
confirmed, this pronunciation, by so adapting the word
in "Macbeth":
"Why, how now, Hecat'? you look angerly." — .^ct IV.
Perhaps this was no more than a poetical license to
him; but the actors have adopted it in the songs in
this tragedy :
" He-cate, He-cate, come away."
And the play-going world, who form no small portion
of what is called the better sort of people, have fol-
lowed the actors in this word, and the rest of the world
have followed them.
The Roman mE^strate, named tedUis, is Anglicized
by pronouncing it in two syllables, te'dile. The capi-
tal of Sicily, Syraaisa, of four syllables, is made three
in the English Syr'acuse; and the city of Tyrus, of
two syllables, is reduced to a monosyllable in the
English Tyre.

* That this general rule should be violated by smatterers
in the learned languages, in such words as gymnastic, Aet-
erogeneous, &c., is not to be wondered at ; but that men of
real learning, who do not want to show themselves off to
the vulgar by such innuendoes of their erudition, should give
in to this irregularity, is really surprising. We laugh at the
pedantry of the age of James I., where there is scarcely a
page in any English book that is not sprinkled with twenty
Greek and Latin quotations, and yet do not see the similar
pedantry of interlarding our pronunciation with Greek and
Latin sounds, which may be atbrmed to be a greater per-
version of our language than the former. In the one case,
the introduction of Greek and Latin quotations does not in-
terfere with the English phraseology ; but, in the other, the
pronunciation is disturbed, and a motley jargon of sounds
introduced, as inconsistent with true taste as it is with
neatness and uniformity.
[This censure is more severe than just. It is certain
that these consonants were uniformly pronounced hard, by
the Latins, before all the vowels indifferently ; c like k, and
g like the English g in gun. This is proved with respect to
c by the Greek writers, who always spell Latin names in
which it occurs with ft; as Koc^pwv, Sxirrtui/, for Cicero,
Scipio. On the other hand, the Romans express the Greek
ft by c; as Cimon for Ki>cuy. Hence Ctuintilian observes,
C eat litera, quai ad omnes vocalee vim snam perferat. The
hard sound of g is also apparent from words derived from
the Greek, where y is always represented by g ; and that
the analogy of sound is strictly preserved, is especially man-
ifest in such words as angelus, from the Greek &yy£\os. In
these words, the first y was always pronounced like 1/ ; and,
preceded by the accent, in Latin words, as in English,
change into sh and zh; as, Tatian, Statius, Portius,
Portia, Sosius, Caduceus, Accius, Heh>etii, MBsia,
Hedod, &c., pronounced Tashean, Stasheus, Porshewi,
Porshea, Soshem, Cadusheus, Aksheua, Helveshd, Me-
zhea, Hezheod, &c. But when the accent is on the
first of the diphthongal vowels, the preceding consonant
does not go into sh, but preserves its sound pure ; as,
Miltiades, Antiates, &c.
11. r, S, and C, in proper names ending in tia, sia,
cyan, and sum, preceded by the accent, are changed
into sh and zh. Thus Phocion, Sicyon, and Cercyon,
are pronounced exactly in our own analogy, as if
written Phosheon, Sisheon, and Sersheon; Artemisia
and Aspasiji sound as if written Artemizhea and Aspa-
zhea; Galatia, Aratia, Alalia, and Batia, as if written
Galashea, Arashea, Aloshea, and Bashea; and, if Atia,
the town in Campania, is not so pronounced, it is to
distinguish it from Asia, the eastern region of the
world. But the termination tion (of which there are
not even twenty examples in proper names throughout
the whole Greek and Latin languages) seems to pre-
serve the * from going into sh, as the last remnant of
a learned pronunciation, and to avoid, as much as pos-
sible, assimilating with so vulgar an English termina-
tion. Thus, though ^sion, lasion, Dionymm, change
the « into z, as if written ^zion, lazion, DumysAon,
the z does not become zh; but Philistion, Gration,
Eurytion, Androtion, Hippotion, Iphition, Omylion,
Metion, Polytion, Stration, Sotion, PtMantion, .^tion,
Harpocration, and Antphictyon, preserve the i in its
true sound. Hepheestion, however, from the frequency
of appearing with Alexander, has deserted the small
class of his Greek companions, and joined the English
multitude, by rhyming with question; and Tatian and
Theodotion seem perfectly Anglicized. With very,
very few exceptions, therefore, it may be concluded that
Greek and Latin proper names are pronounced alike,
and that both of them follow the analogy of English
pronunciation.
12. Ch. These letters, before a vowel, are always
pronounced like k; as, Chabrias, CoUMs, &c. ; but,
when they come before a mute consonant, at the be-
ginning of a word, as in ChtJumia, they are mute, and
the word is pronounced as if written Thonia. Words
as this sound is preserved in the Latin by a change of let-
ter, it follows that the g, which represents the second y,
agrees with it in sound also. Since, therefore, the true pro-
nunciation of these letters, c and g, corresponds with their
English pronunciation before certain vowels, there is no
great violence done to the harmony of language by adopt-
mg it, in Latin proper names, before all Thollope.]
f [The uniform and single sound of c has been noted in
the note on the preceding rule ; that of s and t were doubt-
less also single and uniform. That s had but one sound,
like that of the English in sun, is evident from the Greek
usage of the letter, and from the silence of all the old gram-
marians as to any variety in its pronunciation, — a remark
which, by the way, will apply to all the consonants gener-
ally. With respect to t, the only difficulty regards the syl-
lable ti, when followed by a vowel, as in the examples
given in the rule. There is no doubt that ti was always
pronounced alike by the Latins, whatever was the place of
the accent ; so that it was the same in Miltiades and Tatian,
except that in the former it was limg, and in the latter short,
and therefore uttered with greater rapidity. This is evi-
dent from words common both to the Greeks and Romans,
with the former of whom the pronunciation of tl never va-
ries. In Latin names, also, the Greeks always retain the
same letters, and vice versit. Thus we have Ti'tios, TiUus ;
and TleafftyvfTiav &eav, Pessinunliam Deam, Herod, i. 11.
It does not appear, indeed, that any sound like sh or zh was
known to the Romans ; nor is it likely that they pronounced
the same letter differently in declining the same word ; as,
nom. pi. artes, gen. arshium, dat. artibus, &c. These obser-
vations are equally applicable to the next rule. — Tedlmpe.]

beginning with sctie, as Schedius, Scheria, &o., are
pronounced as if written Sfcedius, SkeriUf &C.5 and c
before n, in the Latin pra^nomen CneiLSj or Ctusus, is
mute ; bo in CTwpus, Cnossus, &c., and before t in
Cteatus, and g before n in Gnidus, — pronounced
Nopus, Nossus, Teattis, and Nidus*
13. At the beginning of Greek words, we frequently
find the uncombinable consonants mn, tm, &c. ; as,
Mnemosyne, Mnesidamua, Mneus, Mnesieus, Tmolus,
&c. These are to be pronounced with the first conso-
nant mute, as if written Nemosyne, Nesidamus, Neiis,
NesteuSj Mohts, &c., in the same manner as we pro-
nounce the words Bdellium, P-neumatic, Gnomon,
Mnemonics, &c., without the initial consonant. The
same may be observed of tlie c hard like k, when it
comes before t, as Ctesiphon, Ctesippus, &c. Some
of these words we see sometimes written with an e or
i after the first consonant, as Menesteus, Timohis, &c.,
and then the initial consonant is pronounced.
14. Ph, followed by a consonant, is mute ; as, PhtJiia,
Phthioiis, pronounced Tina, Thioiis, in the same man-
ner as the naturalized Greek word Phtlmic, pro-
nounced Tisic.
15. Ps : — p is mute also in this combination, as in
Psyche, Psammetichus, dtc, pronounced Syke, Sam-
meliais, &c.
16. Pt : — p is mute in words beginning with these
letters, when followed by a vowel 5 as, Ptolemy, Pteri-
las, &c., pronounced Tolemy, Terilas, &c. ; but, when
followed by I, the t is heard, as in Tleptolemus; for,
though we have no words of our own with these initial
consonants, we have many words that end with them,
and they are certainly pronounced. The same may be
observed of the z in Zmilaces.
17. The letters s, x, and 2;, require but little obser-
vation, being generally pronounced as in pure English
words. It may, however, be remarked, that s, at the
end of words, preceded by any of the vowels but c,
has its pure hissing sound 5 as, wms, dis, as, mus, &c. ; t
but, when e precedes, it goes into the sound of z; as,
pes, Tkersites, vales, &c. It may also be observed,
that, when it ends a word preceded by r or n, it has the
sound of z. Thus the letter s, in mens. Mars, mors,
&c., has the same sound as in the English words hens,
stars, wars, &.c. X, when beginning a word or sylla-
ble, is pronounced like z; as, Xerxes, Xen^hon, &c.,
are pronounced Zerkzes, Zenophon, &c. Z is uni-
formly pronounced as in English words. Thus the z
in .^£710 and Zeugtnu is pronounced as we hear it in
zeal, zone, &c.

18. It may at first be observed, that, in words of two
syllables, vrith but one consonant in the middle, what-
* [These letters are not aisolvtehi mute, being accompa-
nied with a small guttural tone, sufficient to Indicate their
effect upon the pronunciation. So in the next rule, the
remark at the end of which proves that the guttural sound
was so as to have nearly the same effect as the insertion of
a vowel. Kulea 14, 15, 16, are subject to the same remark.
The word Tleptolemus, in Rule 16, can hardly be considered
of the same class. — Trollofe.]
t [Not only so, but in all cases, as before remarked ;
neither with e, r, or n preceding, is s necessarily pronounced
like I. — TsoLLOPi.]
t The only word occurring to me, at present, where this
rule is not observed, is canon, a rule, which is always pro-
nounced like the word cannem, a piece of ordnance.
[Considerable difference, however, was made by the
Romans between the long and short vowels, by pronouncing
the latter more rapidly than the former. Probably a kind
ever be the quantity of the vowel in the first syllable
in Greek or Latin, we always make it long in English.
Thus Crates, the philosopher, and crates, a, hurdle 3
decus, honor, and dedo, to give ; ovo, to triumph, and
ovum, an egg ; Numa, the legislator, and Nvmen, the
divinity, have the first vowel always sounded equally
long by an English speaker, although, in Latin, the
first vowel in the first word of each of these pairs is
short, f
19. On the contrary, words of three syllables, with
the accent on the first, and with but one consonant
after the first syllable, have that syllable pronounced
short, let the Greek or Latin quantity be what it will.
Thus regulus and remora, mimicm and minium, are
heard with the first vowel short in English pronun-
ciation, though the first word of each pair has its first
syllable long in Latin; and the «, in fumigo and
fugito, is pronounced long in both words, though in
Latin the last u is short. This rule is never broken
but when the first syllable is followed by c or i, fol-
lowed by another vowel : in this case, the vowel in the
iirst syllable is long, except that vowel be i. Thus
lamia, genius, Libya, doceo, cupio, have the accent on
the first syllable, and this syllable is pronounced long
in every word but Libya, though in the original it is
equally short in all.
20. It must have frequently occurred to those who
instruct youth, that, though the quantity of the ac-
cented syllable of long proper names has been easily
conveyed, yet that the quantity of the preceding un-
accented syllables has occasioned some embarrassment.
An appeal to the laws of our own language would soon
have removed the perplexity, and enabled us to pro-
nounce the initial unaccented syllables with as much
decision as the others. Thus every accented antepe-
nultimate vowel but u, even when followed by one
consonant only, is, in our pronunciation of Latin, as
well as in English, short. Thus Jbinda, separo, diligo,
nobUis, cucumis, have the first vowels pronounced as
in the English words capital, celebrate, simony, solitude,
luciitent, in direct opposition to the Latin quantity,
which makes every antepenultimate vowel, in all these
words but the last, long; and this we pronounce long,
though short in Latin. But, if a semi-consonant diph-
thong succeed, then every such vowel is long but i
in our pronunciation of both languages ; and Euganeus,
Eugenia, JUius, folium, dubia, have the vowel in the
antepenultimate syllable pronounced exactly as in the
English words satiate, menial, delirious, jiofonous, pC'
nurious ; though they are all short in Latin but the i,
which we pronounce short, though in the Latin it is long.
21. The same rule of quantity takes place in those
syllables which have the secondary accent; for, as
we pronounce lamentation, demonstration, diminution,
domination, lucubration, with every vowel in the first
syllable short but u, so we pronounce the same vowels
of double emphasis was placed upon the long vowels, which
the English pronunciation does not recognize. We make
no difference, for instance, in the sound of the verb mcror,
whether it signifies to delm/, or to be foolish. In the first
signification it is short, in the latter long; and that the
Romans marked this difference in their pronunciation, is
evident from the sarcasm of Nero, pointed against his pred-
ecessor Claudius, Suet. Ner. 33: Morari mm inter hojiunes
desiisse, product& ayUab^ prim&. The anomaly would be re-
moved by regularly pronouncing the long vowels as in the
English words tame, scene, loine, bane, tune, and the short
ones as in can, send, win, bond, tun, added to the single sound
of the consonant already described. The application of this
rule to the examples produced in the following sections, if
the quantity of the syllables be duly attended to, will suf-
ficiently prove the advantages arising from this method of
pronunciation. — Trollope.]
852 RULES FOR PRONOUNCING GREEK AND LATIN PROPER NAMES.
in the same manner in lamentatio, demonatratio, dimi-
mitio, dominatio, and lucubratw ; but, if a semi-conBO-
nant diphthong Bucceed the secondary accent, as in
Ariovistxis, Heliodorus, GaUnianus, Herodiamis, and
VohisianuSf every vowel preceding the diphthong ie
long but i, just as -we should pronounce these vowels
in the English words amiability, medicUorial, propitia-
ticn, excoHationf eenturiatoTj &c.
22. But, to reduce these rules into a smaller compass,
that they may be more easily comprehended and re-
membered, it may be .observed, that, as we always
shorten every antepenultimate vowel with the primary
accent but u, unless followed by a semi-consonant
diphthong, though this antepenultimate vowel is often
long in Greek and Latin, as ^schylus, ^schinea, &.C.,
and the antepenultimate i, even though it be followed
by Buch a diphthong, as JSleminia, Ocrisia, &c., so we
shorten the first syllable of ^sculapiita, .^Unobarbus,*
&c., because the first syllable of both these words has
the secondary accent; but we pronounce the same
vowels long in .Ethiopia, jEgUdeus, JJaZiartm, &c.,
because this accent is followed by a semi-consonant
diphthong.
23. This rule sometimes holds good, where a mute
and liquid intervene, and determines the first syllable
of Adrian, Adriatic, &c., to be long, like day, and
not short, like add; and it is on this analogical division
of the words, so little understood or attended to, that
a perfect and a consistent pronunciation of them de-
pends. It is this analogy that determines the first u to
be long in stupidue, and the y short in dypea, though
both are short in the Latin, and the o, in the first sylla-
ble of Coriolamis, which is short in Latin, to be long
in English.
24. The necessity of attending to the quantity of the
Towel in the accented syllable has sometimes produced
a division of words in the following vocabulary that
does not seem to convey the actual pronunciatxon.t
Thus the words Svlpitius, Anidv/m, Artemisium, &c.,
being divided into Sul^t'i-us, A-nic'i^um, Ar-te-mia'i-
um, &c., we fancy the syllable after the accent deprived
of a consonant closely tmited with it in sound, and
which, from such a union, derives an aspirated sound
equivalent to sA. But, as the sound of *, c, or », in
this situation, is so generally underBtood, it was thought
more eligible to divide the words in this manner, than
into 8vl-pi'ti-vs, A-m'd-^m, Ar-te-mi'si^m, as, in the
latter mode, the i wants its shortening consonant, and
might, by some speakers, be pronounced, as it gener-
ally is in Scotland, like ee. The same may be observed
of c and g, when they end a syllable, and are followed
by e or i, as in Ac-e-ra'tus, Ac-^da'Ura, Tig-el-Wnus,
Teg'y^a, &c., where, the c and g ending a syllable,
we, at first sight, think them to have their hard sound;
but, by observing the succeeding vowel, we soon per-
ceive them to be soft, and only made to end a syllable
in order to determine the shortness of the vowel which
precedes.
25. The generalrule,therefore, of quantity indicated
by the syllabication adopted in the Vocabulary is, that,
when a consonant ej>ds a syllable, the vowel is always
short, whether the accent be on it or not ; and that,
when a vowel ends a syllable with the accent on it, it
* [It is more correct to pronouDCe these diphthongs long
universally, which may be done without any violence to
the ear of an Englishman., — Teollope. See note, p.
849 Editob.]
t [This is not th^ case, if the correct method of pro-
nunciation is adopted. — Tbollofe.]
± [Not according to the above method. — Teollope.]
$ [There is no doubt, as before observed, that the Lat-
is always long; j: that the vowel «, when it ends a syl-
lable, is long, whether the accent be on it or not ; and
that the vowel i, (3) (4) when it ends a syllable without
the accent, is pronounced like e ; but, if the syllable
be final, it has its long, open sound, as if the accent
were on it; and the same may be observed of the
letter y.
«
Rides for Placing the Accent of Greek wnd Latin
Proper Jfames.
26. Words of two syllables, either Greek or Latin,
whatever be the quantity in the original, have, in Eng-
lish pronunciation, the accent on the first syllable;
and, if a single consonant come between two vowels,
the consonant goes to the last syllable, and the vowel
in the first is long; as, Cato, Ceres, Comus, fccj
27. Polysyllables, adopted whole, from the Greek or
Latin, into English, have generally the accent of the
Latin ; that is, if the penultimate be long, the accent
is on it ; as, Severus, Democedes, &c. ; if short, the ac-
cent is on the antepenultimate; as, Demosthenes, Aris-
tophanes, Postkumus, &c. — See Ibtroduction.
28. Wiien Greek or Latin proper names are Angli-
cized, either by an alteration of the letters, or by cutting
off the latter syllables, the accent of the original, as in
appellatives under the same predicament, is transferred
nearer to the beginning of the word. Thus Proser-
pina has the accent on the second syllable ; but, when
altered to Proserpine, it transfers the accent to the first.
The same may be observed of Homerus, VirgHius, Ho-
ratius, &c., when Anglicized to Homer, Virgil, Hor-
ace, &c.
29. As it is not very easy, therefore, so it is not ne-
cessary, to decide where doctors disagree. When
reasons lie deep in Greek and Latin etymology, the
current pronunciation will be followed, let the learned
do all they can to hinder it. Thus, after Hyperion has
been accented by our best poets according to our own
analogy, with the accent on the antepenultimate, as
Shakspeare : ■ —
" Hype'rim'a curls, the front of Jove himself." — Bdmlet.
-that was to this
Hype'rwn to a satyr." — Ibid.
- next day after dawn,
Doth rise and hfsl^Hype'rion to his horse." — Henry VHi.
So Cooke, in his translation of Hesiod's Theogony,
follows the accentuation of Shakspeare : —
** Hype'rhn and Japhet, brothers, join : ^
Thea and Rfiea of this ancient line >
Descend ; and Themis boasts the source divine." ^
" The fruits of Thia and Bype'rion rise,
And with refulgent lustre light the skies. *'
After this established pronunciation, I say, how hope-
less, as well as useless, would it be to attempt the
penultimate accentuation ! which yet ought undoubt-
edly to be preserved in reading or speaking Greek or
Latin compositions, but, in reading or speaking Eng-
lish, must be left to those who would rather appear
learned than judicioua.|| But Aaion, Arion, Amphion,
ins made a difference in this respect. In dissyllables, the
analogy of the English language will admit of this less
readily than in polysyllables ; but still an accelerated pro-
nunciation may be employed to mark the distinction.—

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* Megara. — I have, in thia word, followed Labbe, Aina-
worth, Gouldman, and Holyoke, by adopting the antepenulti-
mate accent, [Carr does the aame,] in oppoBltion to Lem-
priere, who accents the penultimate syllable.
t Megareus. — Labbe pronounces thia word in four sylla-
bles, when a noun subatantive ; but Ainsworth marks it as
a triayllable, when a proper name, and, in my opinion, in-
correctly.— See Idomeneus. — [Ainaworth is right. See
Ovid. Met. X. 606. — Trollope.]
J Melohosis. — In this word I have given the preference
to the antepenultimate accent, with Labbe, Gouldman, and
Holyoke, [also Carr,] though the penultimate, which Lem-
priere has adopted, is more agreeable to the ear. — [In both
the second and third ayllablea, the 0 is the Greek omicron,

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

JVermsj who claima the precedence in birth
To their descendants ; him old god they call,

* JWnoeris. — Labbe, Ainaworth, Gouldman, and Holy-
oke give tbia word the antepenultimate accent j but Lem-
priere, Littleton, and the Graduaes, place the accent, more
agreeably to analogy, on the penultimate. — [The latter la
correct. See Oyid. Met. vlii. 436. Fast. v. 97 — Tkollofe.]
t JVumicus. —
- Our fleet Apollo aenda
Where Tuacan Tyber rolla with rapid force.
And where JVumUms opea hia holy source."
Detdew.
t ^undina, — Lempriere places the accent on the penul-
timate syllable of this word, but Labbe, Gouldman, and
Ilolyoke, [also Carr,] on the antepenultimate. Ainsworth
marks it in the same manner among the appellatives, nor
can there be any doubt of its propriety.
$ Oceaiia. — So prone are the EngliBh to lay the accent
on the penultimate of words of this termination, that we
scarcely ever hear the famous Oceana of Harrington pro-
nounced otherwise.
II (Eaffanis^ [(Eagrus.'] — This diphthong, like «, is pro-
nounced aa the eingle vowel e. If the conjecture concern-
ing the sound of (e was right, the middle sound between
the 0 and e of the ancienta must, in all probability, have
been the aound of our a in laater. — See the word Mi.,
IT OgyjfBs. — This word is, by all our prosodists, accented
on the first syllable, and consequently it must sound ex-
actly as if written Odd'je^ez ; and this, however odd to an
English ear, must be complied with. — [Og'fij-ges is the
most correct pronunciation. The quantity is marked in
the derivative Osygius^ in Lucan. Fhars. i. 675 : Edonis
Ogygio deewrit plemi Zjymo, — Trollope.]

* OmpJiale. — The accentuation which a mere Engliah
speaker would give to this word was experienced, a few
years ago, by a pantomime called Hercules and Chnphale,
when the whole town concurred in placing the accent on
the second Byllable, till some classical scholars gave a check
to this pronunciation by placing the accent on the first.
This, however, was far from banishing the former manner,
and disturbed the public ear without correcting it. Those,
however, who would not wish to be numbered among the
Vulgar, must take care to avoid the penultimate accent.
I Oj^Acus. — See iDOUsn^EUa.
J 0jT/U3. —
" And, at once, Broteus and Oryiis alew :
Oryus^ mother, MycalS, waa known,
Down from her sphere to draw the lab'ring moon."
Garth's Ovid, Met.
$ Palmyra. — Nothing can be better fixed, in an English ear,
than the penultimate accentuation of this word. This pro-
nunciation ia adopted by Ainswortn and Lempriere. Gould-
man and Holyoke seem to look the other way ; but Labbo
aaya the more learned give thia word the antepenultimate
accent, and that thia accent is more agreeable to the general
GREEK AND LATIN PROPER NAMES.

rule. Thoae, however, muat be pedantic coxcombs, who
should attempt to disturb the received pronunciation, when
in English, because a contrary accentuation may, poaaibly,
be proved to be more agreeable to Greek or Latin.
* Fammmes. — I find thia word nowhere but In Lem-
priere, who accenta it on the penultimate ! But, aa all words
of this termination have the antepenultimate accent, till thia
appears an exception, I ahall venture to alter it. — [Rlm'-
me-nej, Caeh. Haiiiiii/ns-J
f Pantheon. — Thia word is universally pronounced with
the accent on the second syllable, in English ; but, in Latin,
it has its lirst syllable accented ; and thia accentuation makes
so slight a difi*erence to the ear, that it ought to have the
preference.
t Papiae. — This ia the name of an early Christian writer,
who first propagated the doctrine of the millennium ; and
It is generally pronounced with the accent on the second
syllable, but 1 believe corruptly, since Labbe has adopted
the antepenultimate accent, who must be well acquainted
with the true pronunciation of eccleaiaatical characters.
Ill
$ Parysatis. — Labbe telle ua that some prosodlsts contend
that this word ought to be accented on the antepenultimate
syllable, and we find Lempriere has so accented it ; but so
popular a tragedy as AUxander^ which every where accents
the penultimate, has fixed thia pronunciation, in our own
country, beyond a doubt.
II Patroclus, — Lempriere, Ainsworth, Gouldman,and Ho-
lyoke, accent the penultimate syllable of this word, but Labbe
the antepenultimate ; our Graduses pronounce It either way ;
but I do not hesitate to prefer the penultimate accent ; and,
till some good reason be given for the contrary, I think Pa-
troclesf the hiatorian, and PatrOcU, a amall island, ougtit to
be pronounced with the same accent as the friend of Achilles.
— [The 0 is the Greek omicron ; and the name should, there-
fore, be pronounced Patroc'lusj rather than Patro'clus ; but
the penultimate is almost invariably long. See Homer, pas.
«M. — Teollope.] [PatrBclus: — generally made long by
position. Carr.]

* Phalereus. — There is Bome doubt, among the learned,
whether thia word ought to be pronounced in three or four
syllableB ; that IB, as Phal-e^eus or PhorlR^e-us. The latter
mode, however, with the accent on the antepenultimate,
Beema to be the most eligible. — [SeelooMENEua. — Teox.-
LOFE.]
t Phwmaces. — All our prosodistB accent the antepenulti-
mate syllable of thia word ; but an English ear is strongly
inclined to accent the penultimate, as in .Srhacee and .Srsa^
ces, which see. — [The antepenultimate accentuation is more
probably correct. — Trollope.]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

diphthong. The general mode of pronouncing them with
us is to consider them as a diphthong, and to pronounce it
as long or double e ; which, from its squeezed sound, ap-
proaches to the initial y^ and makes these words pronounced
as if written El-e-je'yah, Iiy-j6'yahj &c. This is the pro-
nunciation which ought to be adopted ; but scholars who
are fond of displaying their knowledge of Greek will be
sure to pronounce Elegeia, Hygeia^ or rather Hygieia^ An-

wbile Cartkeiaj or CarteiajAguileia, Pompeia, and Tarpeia, of
Latin original, are permitted to have their diphthongs
sounded like double c, or, which is nearly the same thing,
if the vowels be separated, to sound the e long, as in egual,

PRONUNCIATION
OF
8CRIPTUEE PROPER NAMES.
ADYERTISEMENT.
The true pronunciation of the Hebrew language, as Doctor Lowth observes, is lost. To refer us
for assistance to the Masoretic points, would be to launch us on a sea without shore or bottom. The
only compass by which we can possibly steer, on this boundless ocean, is the Septuagint version of
the Hebrew Bible ; and as it is highly probable the translators transfused the sound of the Hebrew
proper names into the Greek, it gives us something like a, clew to guide us out of the labyrinth.
But even here, we are often left to guess our way ; for the Greek word is frequently so different
from the Hebrew, as scarcely to leave any traces of similitude between them. In this case custom
and analogy must often decide, and the ear must sometimes solve the difficulty. But these difficul-
ties relate chiefly to the accentuation of Hebrew words ; and the method adopted in this point will
be seen in its proper place.
I must here acknowledge my obligations to a very learned and useful work, — the " Scripture Lex-
icon " of Mr. Oliver. As the first attempt to facilitate the pronunciation of Hebrew proper names,
by dividing them into syllables, it deserves the highest praise ; but, as I have often differed widely
from this gentleman in syllabication, accentuation, and the sound of the vowels, I have thought it
necessary to give my reasons for this difference, which will be seen under the Rules ; of the valid-
ity of which reasons the reader will be the best judge.
N. B. As there are many Greek and Latin proper names in Scripture, particularly in the New
Testament, which are to be met with in ancient history, some of them have been omitted in this
selection ; and therefore, if the inspector do not find them here, he is desired to seek for them in
the Vocabulary of Greek and Latin Names.
RULES FOR PRONOUNCING SCRIPTURE PROPER NAMES.
1. In the pronunciation of the letters of the Hebrew
proper names, we find nearly the same rules prevail as
in those of Greek and Latin. Where the vowels end
a syllable with the accent on it, they have their long,
open sound; as, Na'bal, Je'hu, Si'rach, Go'shm, and
Tuibal. — See Rule 1, prefixed to the Greek and Latin
Proper Names.
2. When a consonant ends the syllable, the preced-
* [Mr. Oliver U unquestionably right in principle, and
Mr. Wallier wrong ; but, thougb the analogy both of the
Greek and Hebrew is in favor of the former, the general
ing vowel is short ; as, 8am'u-el, Lem'u-el, Sim'e-cm,
Sol'o-mon, Suc'coth, Syn'a-gogue. (See Rule 2, pre-
fixed to the Greek and Latin Proper Names.) I here
difi'er widely from Mr. Oliver ; for I cannot agree with
him that the e in Abdiel, the o in Amon, and the u in
Ashur, are to he pronounced like the ee in seen, the o
in tone, and the u in tvne, which is the rule he lays
down for all similar words.*
practice, and the analogy of the English language, are
in favor of the latter. — Tkollope.]
908
RULES FOR PRONOUNCING SCRIPTURE PROPER NAMES.
3. Every final t forming a distinct syllable, though
unaccented, has the long, open sound, as A% A-Hs'a-i.
— See Rule 4-, prefixed to the Greek and Latin Proper
Names.
4. Every unaccented i ending a syllable not final,
is pronounced like e, as A'ri-el-j ^A'rft-e^, pronounced
A're-el, ^6'de-fiZ. — See Rule 4;.prfeflxed t(* th* Gfeek^
and Latin Proper Names.
5. The vowels ai are sometimes pronounced in one
syllable, and sometimes in two. As the Septuaglnt
version is our chief guide in the pronunciation of He-
brew proper names, it may be observed, that when
these letters are pronounced as a diphthong^ in one
syllable, like our English diphthong in the \*'drd daUy,
they are either a diphthong in the Greek word, or ex-
pressed by the Greeke or i; a.SjBenai'ah, Bavala; Hu'-
shaij Xoai ; Hu'rai, OvqI, &c. ; and that when they
are pronounced in two syllables, as Sham'ma4f Shmh'-
Ori, Ber-a-i'ahf it is because the Greek words by which
they are translated, as, 2afiai, SeaU, BaQa'ia, make
two syllables of these vowels. Mr. Oliver has not al-
ways attended to this distinction : he makes Siri^a-d
three syllables, though the Greeks made it but two in
2ivh. That accurate prosodist, Labbe, indeed, makes
it a trisyllable; but he doe's the same by ^aron and
Canaaiti, which our great classic, Milton, uniformly re-
duces to two syll-ables, as well as StTiai. If we were
to pronounce it in three syllables, we must necessa-
rily make the first syllable short, as in Shim'e-i; but
this is so contrary to the best usage, that it amounts to
a proof that it ought td be pronounced in two sylla-
bleis, with the first i long, as in Shinar. This, how-
ever, must be looked upon as a general rule only j these
vowels in Isaiah, Grjecized by 'Hca'iag, are always
pronounced as a diphthong, or at least with the ac-
cent on the a, and the i like y, articulating the suc-
ceeding vowel : in Caia/phas, likewise, the ai is pro-
nounced like a diphthong, though divided in the Greek
Kaiu(pag ; * which division cannot take place in this
word, because the i must then necessarily have the
accent, and* must be pronounced as in Isaac, as Mr.
Oliver has marked it, but I think contrary to universal
usage. The only point necessary to be observed in
thesound of this diphthong, is the slight difference we
perceive between its medial and final position; when
it is final, it is exactly like the E^nglish ay without the
accent, as in kolyday, roundelay, gaUoway ; but when
it is in the middle of a word, and followed by a vowel,
the i is pronounced as if it were y, and as if this y
articulated the succeeding vowel ; thus Ben-ai'ah is
pronounced as if written Ben-a'yah.
6. Ch is pronounced like k, as Chebar, Chemosh,
Enoch, &c., pronounced Kebar, Kemosh, Enoch, &-c.
Cherubim and Rachel seem to be perfectly Anglicized,
as the ch, in these words, is always heard as in the
English words cheer, child, riches, &.c. (See Rule 12,
prefixed to the Greek and Latin Proper Names.) Tlie
same may be observed of Cherub, signifying an order
of angels ; but when it means a city of the Babylonish
empire, it ought to be pronounced Ke'rub. t
7. Almost the only difference in the pronuiLciation
of the Hebrew, and the Greek and Latin, proper names,
is in the sound of the g before c and i. In the last two
languages, this consonant is always soft before these
* [It is not necessary to make either 'Kaalas or Kaid^as
more than a trisyllable. — Trollope.]
f [Accordinsto analogy, cA should always be pronounced
like k; and a Hebraist, in reading Hebrew, would so pro-
nounce it, as well in Cherub as m Chebar. This would,
however, savor of affectation in English j and even the ap-
vowels ; as, GeUius, Gippius, &c., pronounced Jellius^
Jippius, &.C. ; and in the first it is hard ; as, Gera, Ger-
izim, Gideon, GUgid, Megiddo, Megiddon, &.c. This
difference is without all foundation in etymology ; for
both g and c were always hard in the Greek and Latin
languages, as well aa in the Hebrew ; but, the latter lan-
g6ag0 bein^ stiidied so much less than the Greek and
Latin, it has not undergone that change which famil-
iarity is sure to produce in all languages j and even the
solemn distance of this language has not been able to
keep the letter c from sliding into s, before e and i, in
the same manner as in the Greek and Latin j thus,
though Gehazi, Gideon, dec, have the g hard, Cedrom,
Cedron, Cisai, and dttem ha+e tHe V soft, as if writ-
ten Sedrom, Sedron, &c. The same may be observed
of Igeabarim, Igeal, Nagge, Shage, Fagiel, with the
g hard, and Oddelvs, Ocina, and Pharacwn, with the
c soft like 8. X
8. Gentiles, as they are called, ending in ines and
ites, aa Philistines, Himtes, Hittites, &c., being Angli-
cized in the translation of the Bible, are pronounced
like formatives" of our own; ^js, Philistine, Whitjield-
ites, Jacobites, &lc.
9. The unaccented termination ah, so frequent in He-
brew proper names, ought to be pronounced like the a in
father. The a in this termination', however, frequent-
ly falls into the indistinct sound heard in the final a in
AJHca, .^trta, &c. ; nor can we easily perceive any
distinction, in this respect, between Elijah and Elisha;
but the final h preserves the other vowels open ; as,
Colhozeh, Shiloh, &c., pronounced Colhozee, Shilo,
&c. (See Rule 7, prefixed to the Greek and Latin
Proper Names.) The diphthong ei is always pro-
nounced like eej thus Sa-mei'us is pronounced as if
written Sa-mee'us. But if the accent be on the ah,
then the a ought to be pronounced like the a in fa-
ther ; as, Tak'C'ra, Tah'pe^nes, &c.
10. It may be remarked, that there are several He-
brew proper names, which, by passing through the
Greek of the New Testament, have conformed to the
Greek pronunciation; such as Aceldama, Genezareth,
Bethpfiage, &c., pronounced Aseldama, Jenezareth,
Bethphaje, &c. This is, in my opinion, more agreea-
ble to the general analogy of pronouncing these He-
brew-Greek words, than preserving the c and g hard.
Rules for Ascertaining the English Quantity of
the Vowels in Hebrew Proper JVames.
II. With respect to the quantity of the first vowel
in dissyllables, with but one consonant in the middle, 1
have followed the rule which we observe in the pro-
nunciation of such dissyllables, when Greek or Latin
words, (see Rule 18, prefixed to the Greek and Latin
Proper Thames;)' and that is, to place the accent on the
first vowel, and to pronounce that vowel long, as, iCo'-
rah, and not Kor'ah, Mo'loch, and not MoVoch, as Mr.
Oliver has divided them, in opposition both to analogy
and the best usage. I have observed the same analogy
in the penultimate of polysyllables, and have not di-
vided Balthasar into Bal-thas'ar, as Mr. Oliver haa
done, but into Baltha'sar.
pearance of affectation, in reading the Scriptures, cannot be
too studiously avoided. —Trollope.]
X [It is as usual to hear the g and c pronounced univer-
sally hard, as partially; and as many of the clergy call the
word Kedronaa Sedron. — Tbollopx.]
RULES FOR PRONOUNCING SCRIPTURE PROPER NAMES.
12. In the same manner, when the accent is on the
antepenultimate syllable, whether the vowel end the
syllable or be followed by two consonants, the vowel
is always short, except followed by two vowels, as in
Greek and Latin proper names. (See Rules prefixed
to these names, Nos. 18, 19, 20, &c.) Thus Jeho»a-
pAafhas the accent on the antepenultimate syllable,
according to Greek accentuation by quantity, (see In-
troduction to this work,) and this syllable, according
to the clearest analogy of English pronunciation, is
short, as if spelt Je-hos'a-phat. The secondary accent
has the same shortening power in Othonias, where the
primary accent is on the third, and the secondary on
the first syllable, as if spelt Oth-o-nVas; and it is on
these two fundamental principles of our own pronun-
ciation, namely, the lengthening power of the penulti-
mate, and the shortening power of the antepenultimate
accent, that I hope I have been enabled to regulate
and fix many of those sounds which were floating about
in uncertainty, and which, for want of this guide, are
differently marked by different orthoepists, and often
differently by the same orthoepist.
Rides for Placing the Accent on Hebrew Proper
JVam.es.
13. With respect to the accent of Hebrew words, it
cannot be better regulated than by the laws of the
Greek language. I do not mean, however, that every
Hebrew word which is Grsecized by the Septuagint
should be accented exactly according to the Greek
rule of accentuation ; for if this were the case, every
word ending in el would never have the accent higher
than the preceding syllable ; because it was a general
rule in the Greek language, that when the last syllable
was long, the accent could not be higher than the pe-
nultimate. Nay, strictly speaking, were we to accent
these words according to the accent of that language,
they ought to have the accent on the last syllable, be-
cause '^(iSii'^X. and 'Jffgaij'A, Abdiel and Israel, have
the accent on that syllable. It may be said that this
accent on the last syllable is the grave, which, when
on the last word of a sentence, or succeeded by an
enclitic, was changed into an acute. But here, as in
words purely Greek, we find the Latin analogy prevail ;
and because the penultimate is short, the accent is
placed on the antepenultimate, in the same manner as
in Socrates, Sosihenes, &c., though the final syllable
of the Greek words SojxQuTTjg^ 2o30&ivt]g, &c., is
long, and the Greek accent on the penultimate. (See
Introduction prefixed to the Rules for Pronouncing
Greek and Latin Proper Names.) It is this general
prevalence of accenting according to the Latin anal-
ogy, that has induced me, when the Hebrew word has
been Grjecized in the same number of syllables, to
prefer the Latin accentuation to what may be called
our own. Thus, Cathua coming to us through the
Greek KixiovU, I have accented it on the penultimate,
because the Latins would have placed the accent on
this syllable, on account of its being long, though an
English ear would be better pleased with the antepe-
nultimate accent. The same reason has induced me
to accent Chaseha on the antepenultimate, because it
is Graecized into Xantflu. But when the Hebrew and
Greek word does not contain the same number of syl-
* [The reader must judge how far this rule, in minor not entirely accord with it. The accentuation should cer
points, is correct. It is needless to say, that the editor can- | tainly be Mem'tah, Idu'el. — Trollopi.]

lables, as iKesMoA, Meff<«(S(a, Id'u-el, -liovaog it
then comes under our own analogy, and we neglect
the Jong vowel, and place the accent on the antepe-
nultimate. The same may be observed of Mordecai
from Ma^jiojcaiog.* '
14. As we never accent a proper name from the
Greek on the last syllable, (not because the Greeks did
not accent the last syllable, for they had many words
accented in that manner, but because this accentuation
was contrary to the Latin prosody,) so if the Greek
word be accented on any other syllable, we seldom pay
any regard to it, unless it coincide with the Latin ac-
cent. Thus in the word Gede'rah, I have placed the
accent on the penultimate, because it is Gracized by
rudriqa, where the accent is on the antepenultimate ;
and this because the penultimate is long, and this long
penultimate has always the accent in Latin. (See this
further exemplified. Rule 18, prefixed to the Greek and
Latin Proper Names, and Introduction, near the end..)
Thus, though it may seem, at first sight, absurd to
derive our pronunciation of Hebrew words from the
Greek, and then to desert the Greek for the Latin, yet,
since we must have some rule, and, if possible, a
learned one, it is very natural to lay hold of the
Latin, because it is nearest at hand. For as language
is a mixture of reasoning and convenience, if the true
reason lie too remote from common apprehension,
another more obvious one is generally adopted ; and
this last, by general usage, becomes a rule superior to
the former. It is true, the analogy of our own lan-
guage would be a rule the most rational ; but while
the analogies of our own language are so little under-
stood, and the Greek and Latin languages are so justly
admired, even the appearance of being acquainted with
them will always be esteemed reputable, and infallibly
lead us to an imitation of them, even in such points
as are not only insignificant in themselves, but incon-
sistent with our vernacular pronunciation.
15. It is remarkable that all words ending in ias and
iah have the accent on the i, without any foundation
in the analogy of Greek and Latin pronunciation, ex-
cept the very vague reason that the Greek word places
the accent on this syllable. I call this reason vague,
because the Greek accent has no influence on words in
ael, iel, ial, &c. ; as, 'IffQccifX^ ^.A^Sn'jX, BsXiaX, x. T. H.
Hence we may conclude the impropriety of pro-
nouncing Messias with the accent on the first syllable,
according to Labbe, who says we must pronounce it
in this manner, if we wish to pronounce it like the
French with the os rotundum et facundum / and, in-
deed, if the i were to be pronounced in the French
manner, like e, placing the accent on the first syllable
seems to have the bolder sound. This may serve as
an answer to the learned critic, the editor of Labbe,
who says, "The Greeks, but not the French, pronounce
ore rotunda ; " for though the Greeks might place the
accent on the i in Meaalag, yet as they certainly pro-
nounced this vowel as the French do, it must have the
same slender sound, and the accent on the first sylla-
ble must, in that respect, be preferable to it ; for the
Greek i, like the same letter in Latin, was the slen-
derest of all the vowel sounds. It is the broad, diph-
thongal sound of the English i, with the accent on it,
which makes this word sound so much better in Eng-
lish than it does in French, or even in the true ancient
Greek pronunciation.
16. The termination aim seems to attract the accent
910
RULES FOR PRONOUNCING SCRIPTURE PROPER NAMES,
on the a only in words of more than three syllables, as
E'phrOrim and iliizVo-im have the accent on the ante-
penultimate; but Ho-ro-na'tnij Ram-a-iha'im, &,c., on
the penultimate syllable. This is a general rule 3 but,
if the Greek word have the penultimate long, the
accent ought to be on that syllable j as, Phar-va'im,
^aQovifi^ &c.
17. Kemuel, Jemuel, Nemuel, and other words of the
same form, having the same number of syJlables as the
Greek words into which they are translated, ought to
have the accent on the penultimate, as that syllable is
long in Greek; but Emanuel, Samuel, and Lemuel,^
are irrecoverably fixed in the antepenultimate accentu-
ation, and show the true analogy of the accentuation
of our own language.
18. Thus we see what has been observed of the ten-
dency of Greek and Latin words to desert their origi-
nal accent, and to adopt that of the English, is much
more observable In words from the Hebrew. Greek
and Latin words are fixed in their pronunciation by a
thousand books written expressly upon the subject, and
ten thousand occasions of using them ; but Hebrew
words, from the remote antiquity of the language, from
the paucity of books in it, from its being originally
written without points, and the very different style
of its poetry from that of other Janguages, afford us
scarcely any criterion to recur to for settling their
pronunciation, which must, therefore, often be irreg-
ular and desultory. The Septuagint, indeed, gives us
some light, and is the only star by which we can steer ;
but this is so frequently obscured as to leave us in the
dark, and force us to pronounce according to the anal-
ogy of our own language. It were to be wished, indeed,
that this were to be entirely adopted in Hebrew words,
* [Not Lemuel, which is frequently pronounced with the
penultimate accent. Emanuel and ^imud are so completely
where we have so little to determine us, and that those
words which we have worn into our own pronuncia-
tion were to be a rule for all others of the same form
and termination ; but it is easier to bring about a revo-
lution in kingdoms than in languages. Men of learn-
ing will always form a sort of literary aristocracy; they
will be proud of the distinction which a knowledge of
languages gives them above the vulgar, and will be
fond of showing this knowledge, which the vulgar will
never fail to admire and imitate.
The best we can do, therefore, is to make a sort of
compromise between this ancient language and our
own ; to form a kind of compound ratio of Hebrew,
Greek, Latin, and English, and to let each of these
prevail as usage has permitted them. Thus Eman-
uel, Samuel, Lemuel, which, according to the Latin
analogy and our own, have the accent on the antepe-
nultimate syllable, ought to remain in quiet posses-
sion of their present pronunciation, notwithstanding the
GreeX 'Efi^avoviilX^ Sa^oviqi., Aefiov^X ; but Elislma,
Esdrelon, Gederah, may have the accent on the penul-
timate, because the Greek words into which they are
translated, 'EXiaovif ^EadQTjkoifi^ T'adijQa, have the
penultimate long. If this should not appear a satisfac-
tory method of settling the pronunciation of these
words, I must entreat those who dissent from it to
point out a better. A work of this kind was wanted
for general use ; it is addressed neither to the learned
nor the illiterate, but to that large and most respecta-
ble part of society who have a tincture of letters, but
whose avocations deny them the opportunity of culti-
vating them. To these a work of this kind cannot
fail of being useful ; and by its utility to these the
author wishes to stand or fall. .

In this edition of this Key, the pronunciation of the
words is in accordance with Walker's principles,
but designated by the use of marked letters. All
the words that seemed to need it, have been re-
spelled, and thus any special reference, by numbers,
to the preceding Rides of Walker, is rendered un-
necessary.
With respect to the pronunciation of a considerable
number of words, the deviations of several orthofi-
pists from Walker, are exhibited. These orthofipists
are Oliver, Perry, Smart, Carr, and also Taylor
the editor of " Calmet's Dictionary of the Bible."
In relation to the words of which there is a di-
versity of pronunciation, the pronunciation given
by Walker always stands first.
The abbreviation (O.) stands for Oliver; (F) for
Perry; (Sm.) for Smart; (C.) for Carr; and (T.) for

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* ZaJmlon. — " NotwithstandJDg," saya the editor of
Labbe, " this word, in Greek, Ziz^itAwi', has the penultimate
long, yet in our churches we always hear it pronounced
with the acute on the antepenultimate. Those who thus
pronounce it plead that, in Hebrew, the penultimate vowel
is abort ; but, in the word Zorobdbel, Zopo^d^£^, they fol-
low a different rule ; for, though the penultimate in Hebrew
is long, they pronounce it with the antepenultimate accent."

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

PREPARATORY OBSERVATIONS.
As a perusal of the Observations on Greek and Latin Ac-
cent and Quantity requires a more intimate acquaintance
with the nature of the voice than is generally brought to
the study of that subject, it may not be improper to lay be-
fore the reader such an explanation of speaking sounds as
may enable him to distinguish between high and loud, soft
and low, forcibleness and length, and feebleness and short-
ness, which are so often confounded, and which conse-
quently produce such confusion and obscurity among our
best prosodists.
But, as describing such sounds upon paper as have no
definite terms appropriated to them, like those of music, is
anew and difficult task, the reader must be requested to
give as nice an attention as possible to those sounds and in-
flections of voice, which spontaneously annex themselves to
certain forms of speech, and which, from their familiarity,
are apt to pass unnoticed. But if experience were out of
tlie question, and we were only acquainted with the organic
formation of human souulIs, we must necessarily distinguish
them into five kinds ; namely, the monotone, or one sound
continuing a perceptible time in one note, which is the case
with all musical sounds ; a sound beginning low and slid-
ing higher, or beginning high and sliding lower, without
any perceptible intervals, which is essential to all speaking
sounds. The two last may be called simple slides or inflec-
tions ; and these may be so combined as to begin with that
which rises, and end with that which falls, or to begin with
that which falls, and end with that which rises ; and if this
combination of different inflections be pronounced with one
impulse or explosion of the voice, it may not improperly
be called the circumfiex, or compound inflection ; and this
monotone, the two simple and the two compound inflec-
tions, are the only modifications, independent on the pas-
sions, of which the human voice is susceptible.
TVie Different States of the Voice
The modifications of the voice, which have just been
enumerated, may be called absolute, because they cannot
be converted into each other, but must remain decidedly
what they are ; while different states of the voice, as high
and low, loud and soft, quick and slow, are only compara-
tive terms, since what is high in one case may be low in an-
other, and so of the rest. Beside, therefore, the modifica-
tions of voice which have been described, the only varieties
remaining, of which the human voice is capable, except
those produced by the passions, are high, low, loud, sofl;,
quick, slow, forcible, and feeble. Though high and loud,
and low and soft, are frequently confounded, yet, when
considered distinctly, their difference is easily understood ;
as, if we strike a large bell with a deep tone, though it gives
a very loud tone, it will still be a low one ; and, if we strike
a small bell with a high tone, it will still be a high tone,
though the strobe be ever so soft. A quick tone, in music,
is that in which the same tone continues but a short time,
and a slow tone where it continues longer ; but in speak-
ing, a quick tone is that when the slide rises from low to high,
or falls from high to low, in a short time, and a slow tone
the reverse; while forcible and feeble seem to be severally
compounded of two of these simple states ; that is, force
seems to be loudness and quickness, either in a high or low
tone also; and feebleness seems to be softness and slowness,
either in a high or a low tone likewise. As to the tones of
the passions, which are so many and various, these, in the
opinion of one of the best judges in the kingdom, are gual~
Uies of sound, occasioned by certain vibrations of the organs
of speech, independent on high, low, loud, soft, quick, slow,
forcible, or feeble ; which last may not improperly be called
different quantities of sound.
It may not, perhaps, be unworthy of observation, how
few are these principles, which, by a different combination
with each other, produce that almost unbounded variety of
which human speech consists. The different quantities of
sound, as these different states of the voice may be called,
may be combined so as to form new varieties with any other
that are not opposite to them. Thus high may be combined
with either loud or soft, quick or slow ; that is, a high note
may be sounded either in a loud or soft tone, and a low note
may be sounded either in a loud or a soft tone also, and each
of these tones may be pronounced either in a longer or a
shortertime; that is, more slowly or quickly ; while forcible
seems to imply a degree of loudness and quickness ; and fee-
ble, a degree of softness and slowness, either in a high or a
lowtone. These combinations may, perhaps, be more easily
conceived by classing them in contrast with each other : —
High, loud, quick.
Low, soft, slow.
Forcible may be high, loud, and quick ; or low, loud, and
quick. Feeble may be high, soft, and slow ; or low, soft, and
slow.
The different combinations of these states may be thus
represented : —
High, loud, quick, forcible. Low, loud, quick, forcible.
High, loud, slow. Low, loud, slow.
High, soft, quick. Low, soft, quick.
High, soft, slow, feeble. Low, soft, slow, feeble.
When these states of the voice are combined with the five
modifications of voice above mentioned, the varieties be-
come exceedingly numerous, but far from being incalcula-
ble. Perhaps they may amount (for I leave it to arithme-
ticians to reckon them exactly) to that number into which
the ancients distinguished the notes of music, which, if I
remember right, was about two hundred.
These different states of the voice, if justly distinguished
and associated, may serve to tlirow some light on the nature
of accent. If, as Mr. Sheridan asserts, the accented syllable
be only louder, and not higher, than the other syllables, ev-
ery polysyllable is a perfect monotone. If the accented syl-
lable be higher than the rest, which is the general opinion
both among the ancients and moderns, this is true only
when a word is pronounced alone, and without reference
to any other word ; for when suspended at a comma, con-
cluding a negative member followed by an affirmative, or
asking a question beginning with a verb, if the unaccented
syllable or syllables be the last, they are higher than the ac-
cented syllable, though not so loud. So that the true defi-
nition of accent is this: — ^f the word be pronounced alone,
and witJiout any reference to otfier words, the accented syllable is
both higher and louder than the other syllables either before or
after it ; but, if the word be suspended, as at the comma, if it
end a negative member followed by an affirmative, or if it con-
clude an interrogative sentence beginning with a verb, in each
case the accented syllable is louder and higher than the preceding^
and louder and lower than the succeeding syllables. This will
be suf^ciently exemplified in the following pages. In the
mean time, it may be observed, that if a degree of swiftness
enter into the definition of force, and the accented syllable
be the most forcible, it follows that the accent does not
necessarily lengthen the syllable, and that if it fall on a long
vowel, it is only a longer continuation of that force with
which it quickly or suddenly commenced ; for as the voice
is an efilux of air, and air is a fluid like water, wo may
conceive a sudden gush of this fluid to continue either a
longer or a shorter time, and thence form an idea of long or
short quantity. If, however, this definition of force, as ap-
plied to accent, should be erroneous or imaginary, let it be
remembered it is an attempt to form a precise idea of what
has hitherto been left in obscurity; and that, if such an
attempt should fail, it may at least induce some curious
inquirer to show where it fails, and to substitute something
better in its stead.
If these observations be just, they may serve to show how
ill-founded is the opinion of that infinite variety of voice of
which speaking sounds consist. That a wonderful variety
may arise from the key in which we speak, from the force
or feebleness with which we pronounce, and from the tinc-
ture of passion or sentiment we infuse into the words, is
acknowledged j but, speak in what key we will, pronounce
with what force or feebleness we please, and infuse what-
ever tincture of passion or sentiment we can imagine into
the words, still they must necessarily be pronounced with
one of the foregoing modifications of the voice. Let us go
into whatever twists or zigzags of tone we will, we cannot
932
OBSERVATIONS ON THE GREEK AND LATIN ACCENT.
go out of the boundaries of these inflections. These are the
outlines on which all the force and coloring of speech is laid ;
and these may be justly said to form the first principles of
speaking sounds.
Exemplification of the Different Modifications of the
Voice, The Monotone, the Rising Inflection, the
Falling Inflection^ the Rising Circumflex, and the
FaUing Ctrcumfl^x.
Though we seldom hear such a variety in reading or
speaking as the sense and satisfaction of the ear demand,
yet we hardly ever hear a pronunciation perfectly monoto-
nous. In former times, we might have found it in the mid-
night pronunciation of the Bellman's verses at Christmas ;
and now the Town Crier, as Shakspeare calls him, some-
times gives us a specimen of the monotonous, in his vocif-
erous exordium — "This is to givenotice!" The clerk of
a court of justice also promulgates the will of the court
by that barbarous metamorphosis of the old French word
Oyrz! Oyez! Hear ye I Hear ye! into Oyes! O yes! in a.
perfect sameness of voice. But however ridiculous the
monotone in speaking may be in the above-mentioned
characters, in certain solemn and sublime passages in poe-
try it has a wonderful propriety, and by the uncommonness
of its use, it adds greatly to that variety with which the ear
is so much delighted.
This monotone may be defined to be a continuation or
sameness of sound upon certain words or syllables, exactly
like that produced by repeatedly striking a bell : such a
stroke may be louder or softer, but continues in exactly the
same pitch. To express this tone, a horizontal line may be
adopted ; — such a one as is generally used to signify a long
syllable in verse. This tone may be very properly intro-
duced in some passages of Akenside's Pleasures of Imagina-
iton, where he so finely describes the tales of horror related
by the village matron to her infant audience : —
" Breathing astonishment ! of witching rhymes
And evil spirits ; of the death-bed caU
To him who robbed the widow, and devoured
The orphan's portion ; of unquiet souls
Risen from the grave to ease the heavy guilt
Of deeds in life concealed ; of shapes that walk
At dead of night, and clank theii chains, and wave
The torch of hell around the murderer's bed."
If the words " of shapes that walk at dead of night " be
pronounced in a monotone, it will add wonderfully to the
variety and solemnity of the passage.
The rising inflection is that upward turn of the voice we
generally use at the comma, or in asking a question begin-
ning with a verb; as, "N6, say you? did he aay N6?" This
is commonly called a suspension of voice, and may not im-
properly be marked by the acute accent, thus ( ' ).
The felling inflection is generally used at the semicolon
and colon, and must necessarily be heard in answer to the
former question: "■He did; he said N6." This inflection,
in a lower tone of voice, is adopted at the end of almost
every sentence, except the definite question, or that which
begins with the verb. To express this inflection, the grave
accent seems adapted, thus ( ^ ).
The rising circumflex begins with the falling inflection,
and ends with the rising upon the same syllable, and seems,
a% it were, to twist the voice upwards. This inflection
may be exemplified by the drawling tone we give to some
words spoken ironically ; as the word Clodiusj in Cicero's
Oration for Milo. This turn of voice may be marked in- this
manner (V ) : —
" But It is foolish in us to compare Drusus Africanus and
ourselves with ClSdius ; all our other calamities were toler-
able, but no one can patiently bear the death of CISdius."
The falling circumflex begins with the rising inflection,
and ends with the falling upon the same syllable, and seems
to twist the voice downwards. This inflection seems gen-
erally to be used in ironical reproach ; as on the word you,
in the following example : —
" So, then, you are the author of this conspiracy against
me ? It is to you that I am indebted for all the mischief that
has befallen me ?"
If to these inflections we add the distinction of a phrase
into accentual portions, as,
" Prosperity ] giins friends | and adversity | tries them," |
and pronounce Mentis like an unaccented syllable of gai-ns,
and like an unaccented syllable of adversity, and them like
an unaccented syllable of triesj we have a clear idea of the
relative forces of aU the syllables, and approximate closely
to a notation of speaking sounds.

analysis of the human voice, see ElemejOs of Elocution, sec-
ond edition, p. 62, and Rhetoricai Orammarj third edition,

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

OBSERVATIONS ON THE GREEK AND LATIN ACCENT.
several accented syllables, which distinguishes them from
the others, but no more variety of tone than if we were to
beat the syllables of the same words upon a drum, which
may be louder or softer, but cannot be either higher or low-
er. This is pronouncing according to Mr. Shnridan's defi-
nition of accent ; and this pronunciation certainly comes
under the definition of singing j — it is singing ill, indeed,
as Julius Cesar said of a bad reader, but still it is singing,
and therefore essentially different from speaking; for in
speaking, the voice is continually sliding upwards or down-
wards, and in singing, it is leaping; as it were, from a lower
to a higher, or from a higher to a lower note,— the only two
possible ways of varying the human voice, with respect to
elevation or depressions — so that when we are told by some
writers on this subject, that the speakingof the ancients was
a&in/Zof singing, we are led into the error of supposing that
singing and speaking differ only in degree, and not in kind,
whereas they are just as different as motion and rest.*
5. Whenever, in speaking, we adopt a singingtone, (which
was formerly the case with Puritan preachers,) it differs es-
sentially from speaking, and can be pricked down upon pa-
per, and be played upon a violin ; and whenever, in singing,
we adopt a speaking tone, the slide of this tone is so essen-
tially distinct from singing, as to shock the ear like the
harshest discord. Those, therefore, who rank recitative as
a medium between singing and speaking, are utterly igno-
rant of the nature of both. Recitative is just as much sing-
ing as what is called air, or any other species of musical
composition.
6. If we may have recourse to the eye, the most dis-
tinct and definite of all our senses, we may define musical
notes to be horizontal lines, and speaking tones oblique
lines ; the one rises from low to higli, or falls from high
to low, by distinct intervals, aa the following straight hues
to the eye j — — the other slides upwards or down-
wards, as the foUowing oblique lines :
the one more different to the eye than the other is to the
ear. Those, therefore, who gravely tell us that the enun-
ciation of the ancients was a kind of musical speaking, im-
pose npon us with words to which we can annex no ideas ;
and when they attempt to illustrate this musico-apeaking
* It is not denied, that the slides in speaking may some-
times leap, as it were, from a low to a high, or from a high
to a low note ; that is, that there may be a very considera-
ble interval between the end of one of those slides and the
beginning of another ; as between the high note in the word
710, in the question. Did he say JVo 7 and the low note which
the same word may adopt in the answer, JVo, he did not
But the sound which composes the note of speaking, as it
may be called, and the sound which composes the note of
singing, are essentially distinct ^ the former is in continual
motion, while the latter is for a given time attest. — See
Note to sect. 23.
■f How the ancients could make every monosyllable ac-
cented, (that is, according to their definition of accent, pro-
nounced with an elevated tone of voice,) without telling us
how this elevation happened, whether it were an elevation
of one part of the syllable above the other, or the elevation
of one word or syllable above other words or syllables, —
how these distinctions, I say, so absolutely necessary to a
precise idea of accent, should never be once mentioned,
can be resolved into nothing but tliat attachment to words
without ideas, and that neglect of experiment, which have
involved the moderns in the same mist of ignorance and
error.
t That excellent scholar, Mr. Forster, furnishes an ad-
ditional instance of the possibility of uniting a deep and
accurate knowledge of what is called the prosody of the
ancients, with a total ignorance of the accent and quantity
of his own language. After a thousand examples to show
how the English is susceptible of every kind of metre among
the ancients, (though in all his examples he substitutes Eng-
lish accent for Greek and Latin quantity^) he proceeds lo
show the difference between tlie English, the Irish, and
the Scotch pronunciation.
" The English join the acute and long time together, as
m liberty, y short. The Scotch observe our quantity, and
alter our accent, UbSrty', y short. When I say they observe
our quantity, I mean they pronounce the same syllable long
which we do, but they make it longer. In respect to the
circumflex with which their pronunciation abounds, it may
be remarked, that it is not formed as the Greek, Latin, and
English, of an acute and grave, but of a grave and acute :
v6di, r8s, r6und, English : riiind, Scotch.
" The Irish observe our quantity and accent too, but with
a greater degree of spirit or emphasis, which Scaliger calls
affiatio in latitudine^ giving to most syllables an aspiration."
— Essay on Accent and Quantity , p. 75.
pronunciation by referring us to the Scotch and other dla*
lects, they give us a rhetorical flourish instead of a real ex*
ample j for however the Scotch and other speakers may
drawl out the accent, and give the vowel a greater length
than the English, it is always in an oblique, and not in a
straight line; for the moment the straight line of sound, or
the monotone, is adopted, we hear something essentially
distinct from speaking.
7. As high and low, loud and soft, forcible and feeble, are
comparative terms, words of one syllable pronounced alone,
and without relation to other words or syllables, cannot be
said to have any accent, f The only distinction to which
such words are liable, is an elevation or depression of voice,
when we compare the beginning with the end of the word
or syllable. Thus a monosyllable, considered singly, rises
from a lower to a higher tone in the question JW ? which
may, therefore, be called the acute accent; and falls from a
higher to a lower tone, upon the same word, in the answer
JVo, which may, therefore, be called the grave. But when
the accented word or syllable is associated with unaccented
words or syllables, the acute accent is louder and higher
than the preceding, and louder and lower than the succeed-
ing syllables, as in the question, Sati^dctorUy, did he say 7
and the grave accent both louder and higher than either the
preceding or succeeding syllables, in the answer. He said
satisfdctorilij. Those who wish to see this explained more
at large may consult Elements of ElocviioUf page 183, or
Rhetorical Cframmar, 3d edition, p. 77.
8. This idea of accent is so evident, upon experiment, as
to defy contradiction ; and yet, such is the general igno-
rance of the modifications of the voice, that we find those
who pretend to explain the nature of accent the most accu-
rately, when they give us an example of the accent in any
particular word, suppose it always pronounced affirmatively
and alone ; J that is, aa if words were always pronounced
with one inflection of voice, and as if there were no differ-
ence with respect to the nature of the accent, whether the
word is an affirmation or a question, in one part of the sen-
tence or in another ; when nothing can be more palpable, to
a correct ear, than that the accents of the word voluntary^
in the following sentences, are essentially different : —
His resignation weis vdluntary.
He made a vdluntary resignation.
In both, the accent is on the first syllable. In the first sen-
tence, the accented syllable is higher and louder than the
Mr. Forster falls exactly into the mistake of Mr. Sheridan,
though he has a quite different idea of accent. He supposes
liberty always pronounced by an Englishman in one man-
ner, and that as a single word, or at the end of a sentence ;
he has not the least notion of the different inflection the
same word may have, accordingly as the accent ia differ-
ently inflected, as we may plainly perceive in the following
question: *' la it liberty or licentiousness you plead for.'"'
where the English raise the voice on the latter syllable, as
the Scotch t(io frequently do. With respect to the quantity
of the first syllable, which Mr. Forster says the Scotch pre-
serve in this word, I must dissent from him totally; for
they preserve the accent, and alter the quantity, by pro-
nouncing the first syllable as if written leeberty. If Mr.
Forster call this syllable long in the English pronunciation
of it, I should be glad to be told of a shorter accented sylla-
ble than the first of liberty ; if he say the accent being on it
renders it long, I answer, this subverts his whole system;
for if accent falling on any vowel make it long, the quan-
tity of the Greek and Latin is overturned, and catio, in the
first line of the ^neid, must be a spondee.
This is the consequence of entering on the discussion o*
a difficult point, without first defining the terms ; — nothing
but confusion and contradiction can ensue.
But I must give this writer great credit for his saying the
Scotch pronunciation abounds with the circumflex ; for this
is really the case; and the very circumflex opposite to the
Greek and Latin, beginning with the grave, and ending
with the acute. 1 am not, however, a little astonished that
this did pot show him how deficient the ancients were in
this modification of the voice; which, though used too fre-
quently in Scotland, is just as much in the human voice as
the other circumflex, and may be, and is often, used in
England, with the utmost propriety. With respect to the
common circumflex on Greek, Latin, and some French
words, the accentual use of it is quite unknown, and it only
stands for long quantity; but both these circumflexes are
demonstrable upon the human voice in speaking, and may
be made as evident by experiment as the stress of an ac-
cented syllable, by pronouncing the word on which it is
placed. — See Rhetorical Orammar, 3d edit. p. 80.
I must just take notice of the inaccuracy of Mr. Forster,
in saying the last syllable of liberty is short, and yet that it
has the circumflex accent: this is contrary to all the proso-
dy of antiquity, and contrary to the truth of the case in this
instance; for it is the length of the first syllable, arising
from the circumflex on it, which distinguishes the Scotch
from the English pronunciation.
OBSERVATIONS ON THE GREEK AND LATIN ACCENT.
935
other syllables ; and in the second, it is louder and lower
than the rest. The same may be observed of the following
question : —
Was his resignation vdluntaryor involuntary?
where the first syllable of the word voluntary is louder and
lower than the succeeding syllables ; and in the word invol-
untary it is louder and higher. Those who have not ears
sufficiently delicate to discern this difference, ought never
to open their lips about the acute or grave accent, as they
are pleased to call them ; let them speak of accent, as it re-
lates to stress only, and not to elevation or depression of
voice, and then they may speak intelligibly.
9. A want of this discernment has betrayed Mr. Porster
into (ibscurity and contradiction. To say noihing of liis as-
serting that the English, Irish, and Scotcli accents differ,
(where accent cannot possibly mean stress, for then English
verse would not be verse in Ireland and Scotland,) what
shal! we think of his telling us, that in England, we pro-
nounce the word majesty* with an acute accent and long
quantity upon the first syllable, and the two last syllables
with the grave accent and short quantity j and that in Scot-
land this word is pronounced with a grave accent and long
quantity on the first syllable, and with an acute accent and
short quantity on the last? Now, if by accent be meant
stress, nothing is more evident than that the English and
Scotch, with the exception of very few words, place the ac-
cent on the same syllable ; but if elevation be included in
the idea of accent, it is as evident that the English pro-
nounce the first syllable louder and higher than the two last,
when they pronounce the word either singly, or as ending
a sentence ; as,
" He spoke against the king's majesty ; "
and louder and lower than the two last, when it is tlie last
accented word but one in a sentence ; as,
" He spoke against the mdjesty of the king ; "
or when it is the last word in asking a question, beginning
with a verb ; as,
" Did he dare to speak against the king's majesty 1 "
10. Where then is the difference, it will be asked, be-
tween the English and Scotch pronunciation.'' I answer,
precisely in this, that the Scotch are apt to adopt the rising
circumflex and long quantity, where the English use the
simple rising inflection and short quantity. Thus in the
word majesty, as well as in every other of the same form,
they generally adopt the rising inflection, as in the two last
sentences, whether it end a question beginning with a verb,
as, " Is this the picture of his majesty 1 " or whether it end
an affirmative sentence, as, " This is the picture of his maj-
esty.''' And it is the prevalence of this long quantity with
the rising inflection, that forms the principal difference be-
tween Ihe English and Scotch pronunciation.
11. Having thus endeavored to ascertain the accent and
quantity of our own language, let us next inquire into the
nature of the accent and quantity of the ancients.f
12. The lung quantity of the ancients must arise either
from a prolongation of the sound of the vowel, or from that
delay of voice which the pronunciation of two or more
consonants in succession are supposed naturally to require.
Now, vowels were said to be either long by nature, or long by
position. Those long by nature % were such aa were long,
though succeeded by a single consonant, as the u in natura,
and were a sort of exception to the general rule ; for a vowel
before a single consonant was commonly short, as in every
u in the word tumulus. Those vowels which were long by
position were such as were succeeded by two or more con-
sonants, as the first o in sponsor ; but if the long and short
quantity of the ancients was the same distinction of the
sound of the vowel as we make in the words cadence and
* Would not any one suppose, by Mr. Forster's pro-
ducing this word as an example of the English accent, that
the English always pronounced it one way, and that as
if it ended a declarative sentence? This is exactly like the
mistake of Priacian, in the word JiTa^ura — See sect. 20, in
the Notes.
t So much are the critics puzzled to reconcile the tragic
and comic verses of the ancients to the laws of metre, that
a learned writer in the Monthly Review for May, 1/62, speak-
ing of the corrections of Dr. Heath, in his notes or readings
of the old Greek tragedians, says,—
"These emendations are much more excusable than such
as are made merely for the sake of the metre, the rules of
which are so extremely vague and various, as they are laid
down by the metrical critics, that we will venture to say
any chapter in Robinson Crusoe might be reduced to measure
by them. This is not conjecture ; the thing aha 1 be proved :
' I lambicus dimeter hyper-
' Aa I was rummaging about her, j catalectus.
I found several "S'''^?^^^"^;-™.,^
Things that I wanted, gSr^T^itri^.
A fire-shovel and tongs, j quarto et syUabh.
Two brass kettles Doclmaicus.
TRflOTc, calling the first a long, and the second short, then the
a in mater and pater ^ must have been pronounced like our
a in later and latter; and those vowels which were long by
position, as the a in Bacchus and campus^ must have been
sounded by the ancients as we hear them in the English
words baJce and came.
13. If, therefore, the long quantity of the ancients were
no more than a retardation of voice on the consonants, or
that duration of sound which an assemblage of consonants
is supposed naturally to produce without making any alter-
ation in the sound of the vowel, such long quantity aa this
an Enghsh ear has not the least idea of. Unless the sound
of the vowel be altered, we have not any conception of a
long or short syllable ; and the first syllables of banish, ban-
ner, and banter, have, to our ears, exactly the same quantity.
14. But, if the long quantity of the ancients arose natu-
rally from the obstruction the voice meets with in the pro-
nunciation of two or more consonants, how does it happen
that the preceding consonants do not lengthen the vowel as
much as those which succeed? Dr. Gaily tells us the rea-
son of this is, '* that the vowel being the most essential part
of the syllable, the voice hastens to seize it ; and in order
to do this, it slurs over all the consonants that are placed
before it, so that the voice suffers little or no delay. But
the case of the consonant that follows is not the same ; it
cannot be slurred over, but must be pronounced full and dis-
tinct, otherwise it would run into, and be confounded with,
the following syllable. By this means the voice is delayed
more in the latter than in the former part of the syllable,
and hr is longer than trrpo, and t)v longer than (XJT\ri."\\
I must own myself at a loss to conceive the force of this
reasoning. I have always supposed the consonant, when it
forms part of a syllable, to be as essential to its sound as the
vowel ; nor can I conceive why the latter consonants of a
syllable may not be pronounced as rapidly as the former,
without running the former syllable into the latter, and thus
confounding them together; since no such confusion arises
when we end the first syllable with the vowel, and begin
the following syllable with the consonants ; as, pro~crastino,
pro-stratus, &c. ; as in this case, there is no consonant to stop
the first syllable, and prevent its running into the second 5
so that Dr. G:illy seems to have slurred over the matter, rath-
er than to have explained it ; but as he is the only writer
who has attempted to account for the manner in which quan-
tity is produced by consonants, he is entitled to attention.
15. In the first place, then, in words of more than one syl-
lable, but one consonant can belong to the preceding vowel,
as the others must necessarily be considered as belonging to
the succeeding vowel, and, according to Dr. Gaily, must be
hurried over, that the voice may seize its favorite letter. As
one consonant, therefore, does not naturally produce long
quantity, where is the delay, if the other consonants be hur-
ried over? and, consequently, where is the long quantity
which the delay is supposed to produce ? This is like add-
ing two nothings together to produce a something.
16. But what does he mean by the necessity there is of
pronouncing the latter consonant full and distinct, that it
may not run into, and be confounded with, the following
syllable ? Must not every consonant be pronounced full
and distinct, whether we pronounce it rapidly or slowly,
whether before or after the vowel? Is not the str in stra-
men pronounced as full and distinct as the same letters in
castra, castrametor, &.C. ? I know there is a shadow of dif-
ference by pronouncing the vowel in our short English
manner, so as to unite with the s, as if written cass; but if
we make the preceding vowel long, as in case, and, accord-
ing to the rules of syllabication laid down by Ramus, Ward,
and the Latin grammarians, carry the consonants to tjie suc-
ceeding syllable, as if written cay-stray, we find these con-
sonants pronounced exactly in the same manner; and this

t If the long quantity of the Greek and Latin arose nat-
urally from the retardation of sound occasioned by the suc-
ceeding consonants, the long vowels in this situation ought
to have been termed long by nature, and those long vowels
which come before single consonants should have been
called long by custom; since it was nothing but custom
made the vowel e in decus (honor) short, and in dedo (to
give) long ; and the vowel 0 m ovum (an egg) long, and in
ovo (to triumph) short.
fi I do not here enter into the question concerning the
ancient sound of the Latin a, which I am convinced was
like our a in water; but whether it were like the a in paper,
father, or water, is not of any importance in the present
question ; the quantity is the same, supposing it to have
been any one of them.

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

" Lucretius wrote a book De J^atura Reritm.'*
Whereas it is evident that the word natura is susceptible of
two different pronunciations : in the first sentence the syl-
lable tu is louder and higher than the last ; and in the sec-
ond it is louder and lower than the last ; and this confound-
ing of loud with high, and soft with low, seems to be the
great stumbling-block both of ancients and moderns. — See

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

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

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

27. Now there are but four possible ways of pronouncing
these verses without going into a perfect song ; || one is, to
pronounce the accented syllable with the falling inflection,
and the unaccented syllable with the same inflection in a
lower tone, which is the way we pronounce our own
words when we give them the accent with the falling
inflection ; the second is, to pronounce the accented sylla-
ble with the rising inflection, and the unaccented syllables
with the same inflection in a lower tone, which we never
hear in our own language ; the third is, to pronounce the
accented syllable with the falling inflection, and the unac-
cented syllables with the rising, in a lower tone ; and tlie
fourth^ to pronounce the accented syllable with the rising
inflection, and the unaccented with the falling, in a lower
tone. None of these modes but the first and last do we
ever hear in our own language; the second and third seem
too difficult to permit us to suppose that they could he the
natural current of the human voice in any language. The
first leaves us no possible means of explaining the circum-
flex ; but the last, by doing this, gives us the strongest rea-
son to suppose that the Greek and Latin acute accent was
the rising inflection, and the grave accent the falling inflec-
tion, in a lower tone.

these inflections of voice, or could be present while I ex-
emplified them to him, I doubt not that he would imme-
diately say it was impossible so monotonous a pronunciatior.

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

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

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

people, who, though remarkably excellent in some things,
are surprisingly deficient in others ? So true Is the observa-
tion of Middleton, who, speaking of those who have written

says, "Ab illis ver6 acriptoribus etsi plurima ingenios6
atque erudite disputata sint, nonnulla tamen deesse, multa
dubi6, quiedam etiam falso posita animadverti ; idque hac in

32. That singing a part in a tragedy should seem so un-
natural* to us, arises chiefly from our being so little accus-
tomed to it. Singing in the pulpit seems to the fUll as
extraordinary ; and yet this son" was so powerful about a
century or two ago, and later in Scotland,! as to make mere
speaking, though with the utmost energy, appear flat and
insipid. Let the human voice be but in a fine tone, and let
this tone be intensely impassioned, and it will infallibly, as
Milton expresses it,
« take the prisoned soul.
And lap it in Elysium ."
33. What may tend to reconcile us still more to this dra-
matic music, is the singsov,^ manner, as it is called, of
pronouncing tragedy, which very generally prevailed before
the time of Mr. Garrick, and which now prevails among
some classes of speakers, and is preferred by them to what
we call the more natural manner. This drawling, undulat-
ing pronunciation is what the actors generally builesque by
repeating the line,
Tum ti tum ti, turn ti turn ti turn ti ;
and though this mode of declamation is now so much de-
into so pleasing a jingle of sounds ? They who would write
poems, and so lengthen or shorten the lines as to form axes,
wings, and altars, might, without any imputation on their
taste, have, now and then, condescended to rhyme. In
short, that the ancients should never have slid into rhyme,
ia a circumstance which would never have been believed,
had it been possible to doubt it ; and I fear it must be classed
with that long catalogue of unaccountables, with which
their prosody, their rhetoric, and their drama, abound.
* Perhaps our unwillingness to believe that the ancient
dramas were set to music, arises from a very mistaken no-
tion we have of their skill in that art. It is true we have
not the same materials for judging of their music as we
have of their poetry and sculpture; but their ignorance of
counterpoint, and the poverty of their instruments, suffi-
ciently show what little progress they had made in it.
Those very few remains of their music which have reached
us, confirm us in this conjecture ; and it is to the indefati-
gable pains of so good a scholar and so excellent a musician
as Dr. Burney, that we are indebted for an illustration of it.
" At the end of a Greek edition of the astronomical poet
Aratus, called PfuBJiomena," says Dr. Burney, " and their
Scholia, published at Oxford in 1769, the anonymous editor,
supposed to be Dr. John Pell, among several other pieces, has
enriched the volume with three hymns, which he supposed
to have been written by a Greek poet called Dionysius ; of
which the first is addressed to the muse Calliope, the second
to Apollo, and the third to Nemesis; and these hymns are
accompanied with the notes of ancient music to which they
used to be sung.
"I know not whether justice has been done to these
melodies ; all I can say is, that no pains have been spared
to place them in the clearest and most favorable point of
view J and yet, with all the advantages of modern notes
and modern measures, if I had been told that they came
from the Cherokees or the Hottentots, I should not have
been surprised at their excellence.
" I have tried them in every key and in every measure
that the feet of the verses would allow ; and as it has been
the opinion of some that the Greek scale and music should
be read Hebrew-wise, I have even inverted the order of the
notes, but without being able to augment their grace and
elegance. The most charitable supposition that can be
admitted concerning them is, that the Greek language, be-
ing itself accentuated and sonorous, wanted less assistance
from musical refinements than one that was more harsh
and rough ; and music being still a slave to poetry, and
wholly governed by its feet, derived all its merit and efiects
from the excellence of the verse, and sweetness of the voice
that sung, or rather recited it ; for mellifluous and affec^ng
voices nature bestows, from time to time, on some gifted
mortals in aU the habitable regions of the earth ; and even
the natural effusions of these must ever have been heard
with delight. But, as music, there needs no other proof of
the poverty of ancient melody, than its being confined to
long and short syllables. We have some airs of the most
graceful and pleasing kind, which will suit no arrangement
of syUables to be found in any poetical numbers, ancient or
modern, and which it is impossible to express, by mere sy -
lables, in any language with which I am at all acquainted."
spised, it ia highly probable that it was formerly held in
estimation.|
34. Now, if we suppose this drawling pronunciation,
which, though very sonorous, is precisely speaking; and
essentially different from singing ; — if we suppose this to
liave been the conversation pronunciation of the Greeks
and Romans, it may possibly throw some light upon the
manner in which they pronounced by accent and quantity
at the same time ; for though we can sufficiently conceive
that, in common speaking in our own language, we
can make the accented syllable short, and the unaccent-
ed syllable long, as in the words qualify^ specify^ elbow,
irnnate^ &;c., yet in the drawling pronunciation we have
been speaking of, the long unaccented vowels in these
words are made much longer, and consequently more per-
ceptible.
35. But if the accent of our language be so different from
that of the Greek and Latin, our pronunciation must neces-
sarily be very different likewise. The acute accent of the
ancients being always higher than either the preceding or
succeeding syllables, and our accent, though always higher
than the preceding, being sometimes lower than the suc-
ceeding syllables, (see sect. 7.,) there must certainly be a
wide difference between our pronunciation and theirs. Let
us, however, explain the Greek and Latin accent as we will,
— let it be by singing, drawling, or common speaking, — it
will be impossible to tell how a monotony could be avoided,
when almost every word of more than one syllable in these
languages, must necessarily have ended in the same tone,
or, if you will, with the same grave accent.^
36. After all, that the Greeks and Romans, in explaining
the causes of metrical and prosaic harmony, should some-
times descend to such minute particulars || as appear to us
Dr. Burney's conjecture, that the Greek music was entire-
ly subservient to verse, accounts for the little attention
which was paid to it in a separate state ; it accounts for the
effects with which their music was accompanied, and for
the total uselessness of counterpoint. Simple melody is the
fittest music to accompany words, when we wish to under-
stand what is sung : simple melody is the music of the
great bulk of mankind; and simple melody is never under-
valued till the ear have been sufficiently disciplined to dis-
cover the hidden melody, which is still essential to the most
complicated and elaborate harmony.
t The Rev. Mr. Whitefield was a highly animated and
energetic preacher, without the least tincture of that tone
which is called cantino-. When he went to Scotland, where
this tone was in high estimation, though his doctrine
was in perfect unison with that of his auditors, his simple
and natural, though earnest, manner of speaking was
looked upon, at first, as a great defect. He wanted, they
said, the holy tone.
{ This cant, which, though disgustful now to all but mere
rustics, on account of its being out of fEishion, was very
probably the favorite modulation in which heroic verses
were recited by our ancestors. So fluctuating are the taste
and practices of mankind! But whether the power of
language have received any advantage from the change just
mentioned, (namely, pronouncing words in a more simple
manner), will appear at least very doubtful, when we recol-
lect the stories of its former triumphs, and the inherent
charms of musical sounds. — The Mrt of delivering Written
Languagej p. 73.
§ Where was all that endless variety with which the
moderns puff off the Greek language, when it had but one
circumflex? The human voice is just as capable of falling
and rising upon the same syllable as rising and falling ; and
why so palpable a combination of sounds as the former
should be utterly unknown to the Greeks and Latins, can
be resolved into nothing but (horresco referens I) their ig-
norance of the principles of human speech.
II " Nee illi [Demostheni] turpe videbatur vel optimis relic-
tis magistris ad canes se conferre, et ab illis p liters vim et
naturam petere, illorumque in sonando, quod satis esset,

It is an observation of Chambers, author of the " CycIopeB-
dia," that nonsense sounds worse in the English than in any
other language. Let us try the experiment by translating
the above passage:— Nor did Demosthenes think it below
him to leave the company of the most respectable people of
Athens, and go to the dogs, in order to learn from them the
nature of the letter r, and, by observing the sound they
gave it, to imitate, as much as was necessary, their manner
of pronouncing it. . ^u a i
What encomiums do we meet with in Cicero, on tne aei-
icacy of the ears even of the common people of Rome, who,
if an actor on the stage made the least error m accent or
quantity, were immediately sensible of it, and would ex-
press their disapprobation ! But I am apt to think that an
English actor, who should pronounce the&tre, semtor, or
coTi^uestj with the accent on the second syUable, would not
escape better than the Roman.

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

in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the District of Massachusetts.

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

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

Proper names are more subject to a corrupt pronunciation, or one which is not conformed to the
orthography, than common names. A considerable number of the geographical names pertaining
to England are pronounced very differently from what their orthography indicates; as, for example,
Chertsey a.nd Cirencester, pronounced ches'se and sis'e-ter. Americans are somewhat less inclined
to debate from orthography, in the pronunciation of some words, than the English are. Beru,ick
and Warwick, for example, which are pronounced in England ber'i/c and wor'ik, are verv often
pronounced, m the United States, as they are spelled.
The following Vocabulary was prepared some years since, and annexed to the Comprehensive
Jhctwnary, and to the Elements of Geography, of the author. It has now been somewhat enlarged
and improved, by farther inquiry, and by the examination of various new authorities, particularly
Mr. Baldwin s Universal Pronouncing Gazetteer, a work in which the subject of the pronunciation of
geographical names has been attended to with much care and intelligence. Still this Vocabulary
m Its present state, is very imperfect. The pronunciation affixed to many of the words may be
objected to, as not the most proper. A person much versed in foreign languages will be likely to
think that the pronunciation generally has been too much Anglicized; while a mere English scholar
will think it is not sufficiently so ; and both may doubtless make out a plausible case in favor of
their respective views. But, defective as it is, it is hoped that it will not be found a useless append-
age to a pronouncing dictionary.
PRINCIPLES
OF
PRONUNCIATION OP SEVERAL EUROPEAN LANGUAGES.
The following Rules, respecting the pronunciation
of certain letters in the principal modern languages of
continental Europe, may be of some use in relation to
the pronunciation of names pertaining to the several
countries where these languages are spoken, though it
may be advisable for a mere English scholar to make
but a partial application of them in practice.
VOWELS.
A, — The vowel o, in situations in which the anal-
ogy of the English language would naturally give it the
sound of long a, has, in the languages of the continent
of Europe, what is called the Italian sound, that is, the
sound of a in Jur and father. In other situations,
Its sound approaches nearly to its short English sound.
E.—The sound of the vowel e, at the end of an ac-
cented syllable, is the same as that of the English long
a, in fate, name. In other situations, it has the sound
of the English short c, in met, men.
I- — The long sound of i, in these languages, is the
same as in the English word marine, being the same
as the English sound of long e in mete, seen. The short
sound is the same as its English short sound in pin.
O. — The vowel 0 has the same sounds that it has in
English in the words note, not, and rvor.
f- — The vowel u, in most of these languages, has
the same sound that it has in English in the word ruLe,
being the same as 00 ia fool, moon; and when short, it
has the sound of « in bull, or of 00 in good. The sound
of M, in the French language, and also in the Dutch, has
no equivalent sound in English ; and it can be learned
in man,fat. I only by oral instruction. It may be regarded as inter-

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