THE  improved  Edition  of  Johnson's  Dictionary  which  is 
now  offered  to  the  Publick,  has  some  advantages  over 
every  other  that  has  heretofore  appeared  ;  which,  the  Editors 
hope,  will  ensure  it  a  just  and  general  preference. 


An  union  of  cetrain  rules  of  pronunciation  with  Johnson's 
ample  dehnitions  and  authorities,  is  a  form  in  which  the  Oc- 
tavo Edition  has  never  appeared ;  and  is  sufficient,  the  Editors 
presume,  to  found  their  pretentions  to  originality  and  improve- 
ment. 


In  noting  the  Pronunciation,  Walker's  Critical  Pronounc- 
ing Dictionary  has  been  the  general  guide  ;  but  where  words 
occurred  not  to  be  found  in  that  (of  which  the  instances  were 
numerous)  other  sources  have  been  investigated,  particularly 
Marchbank's  Quarto  Edition  of  1798,  and  the  pronunciation 
of  those  words  carefully  regulated  by  Walker's  direction. 


In  point  of  correctness,  the  Editors  consider  themselves 
justified,  from  the  unremitting  attention  bestowed  upon  the 
work,  to  claim  for  it  a  preeminence  over  every  Edition  which 
has  come  within  their  notice.  In  the  course  of  the  work,  dif- 
ferent Editions  of  Johnson's  Dictionary  were  often  consulted ; 
and,  that  the  derivations  might  be  as  correct  as  possible,  fre- 
quent recurrence  was  had  to  the  most  approved  Dictionaries 
of  the  foreign  languages,  in  which  the  original  words  are 
found,  especially  the  Greek,  Latin,  French  and  German, 


That  it  is  entirely  faultless  is  not  to  be  expected  ;  but  i 
certainly  free  from  many  inaccuracies  which  appear  in  the  f 
rious  Editions  with  which  it  was  compared.

PREFAC/E. 


HAVING  been  long  employed  in  the  study  and  cultiva- 
tion of  the  English  language,  1  lately  published  a  Dic- 
tionary like  those  compiled  by  the  academies  of  Italy  and 
France,  for  the  use  of  such  as  aspire  to  exactness  of  criticism, 
or  elegance  of  style. 

But  it  has  been  since  considered  that  M^orks  of  that  kind  are 
by  no  means  necessary  to  the  gerater  number  of  readers,  who, 
seldom  intending  to  write  or  presuming  to  judge,  turn  over 
books  only  to  amuse  their  leisure,  and  to  gain  degrees  of 
knowledge  suitable  to  lower  characters,  or  necessary  to  the 
common  business  of  life:  these  know  not  any  other  use  of  a 
dictionary  tlian  that  of  adjusting  orthography,  and  explaining- 
terms  of  science  or  words  of  infrequent  occurrence,  or  remote 
derivation. 

For  these  purposes  many  dictionaries  have  been  \vTitten  by 
different  authors,  and  with  different  deorees  of  skill;  but  none 
of  them  have  yet  fallen  into  my  hands  by  which  even  the  lo\\-- 
est  expectations  could  be  satisfied.  Some  of .  their  authors 
wanted  industry,  and  otiiers  literature:  some  ki-ew  not  their 
own  defects,  and  others  were  too  idle  to  supply  them. 

For  this  reason  a  small  dictionary  appeared  yet  to  be  want- 
ing to  common  readers;  and,  as  I  may,  without  arrogance, 
claim  to  myself  a  longer  acquainUince  with  the  jexicography 
of  our  language  than  any  other  writer  has  had,  'I  shall  ho]>e  to 
be  considered  as  having  more  expr  ricnct  at  least  than  most  of 
my  predecessors,  and  as  more  likci)  to  acccmniodate  the  na- 
tion with  a  vocabulary  of  daily  use.  I  therefore  offer  to  ''i: 
PnM'-'     •    ^',:\^__^,    .  j))ioitte  O!  mv   crmcr   Work. 


«  THE,  PRKFAt'R. 

In  comparing  this  With  other  dictionaries  of  the  sain*  kind, 
it  Avill  be  found  to  have  several  advantages. 

I.  It  contains  many  words  not  to  be  found  in  any  othef^. 
IL   Mayy  biu'barous  terms  and  phrases  by  wiiich  other  dic- 
tionaries may  vitiate  the  style,  are  rejected  from  this. 

III.  The  words  are  more  correctly  spelled,  partly  by  atten- 
tion to  their  ctymolog}-,  and  partly  by  observation  of  the  prac- 
tice of  the  best  authors. 

IV.  The  etymologies  and  derivations,  whether  from  foreign 
languages  or  from  native  roots,  are  more  diligently  traced, 
and  more  distinctly  noted. 

V.  The  senses  of  each  word  are  more  copiously  enume- 
rated, and  more  clearly  explained. 

VI.  Many  words  occurring  in  the  elder  authors,  such  as 
Spenser,  Shakspeare,  and  Milton,  iwhich  had  been  hitherto 
oniitted,  are  here  carefully  inserted ;  so  that  this  book  may 
serveas  a  glossary  or  expository  index  to  the  poetical  writers. 

VII.  To  the  words,  and  to  the  difi'erent  senses  of  each 
word,  are  subjoined  from  the  large  dictionary  the  names  of 
those  writers  by  whom  they  have  been  used ;  so  that  the  rea- 
der who  knows  the  difterent  periods  of  the  language,  and  the 
time  of  its  authors,  may  judge  of  the  eleg-ance  or  prevalence 
of  any  word,  or  meaning  of  a  word;  and  withoi^t  recurring 
to  other  books,  may  know  what  are  antiquated,  what  are  un- 
usual, and  what  are  recommended  by  the  best  authority. 

The  words  of  this  Dictionary,  as  opposed  to  others,  are  more 
diligently  collected,  mor'e  accurately  spelled,  more  faithfully 
explained,  and  more  authentically  ascertained.  Of  an  abstract 
it  is  not  necessary  to  say  more:  and  I  hope  it  will  not  be 
Ib'-ind  that  truth  requires  me  to  say  less.

than  atlractwl  by  the  prospect  of  good;  to  be  exposeil  to  censure  without  Iiope  ol  praUe:  to  be  disgraced  by 
iniscai-riagc,  oi-  punished  foi-  neglect,  where  success  would  have  been  without  api)lause,  and  diligence  without 
reward. 

Among  these  indiappy  mortals  is  the  writer  of  dictionaries,  whonxi  mankind  have  considered,  not  as  the 
iVttpil,  but  as  tti.e  slave  of  science,  the  pioneer  of  iilurature,  (loomed  onlj-  to  rti.iove  i  jbbish  and  clear  ob- 
structions from  the  paths  of  Learning-  and  Genius,  wlio  press  forward  to  conquest  ami  glory,  without  bestow- 
ing a  smile  on  the  humble  drudge  that  facilitates  their  progress.  Every  other  author  may  aspire  to  praise; 
the  lexicographer  Can  only  hiipo  to  escape  it^proacli;  and  even  this  negative  rccomjiense  has  been  yet  grant- 
ed to  ven  few. 

I  have^  notwithstanding  this  discouragement,  attempted  a  dictionary  of  the  English  language,  which, 
while  it  was  crapioyinl  in  the  cilltivatiou  ot"  every  species  of  literature,  tasjitseif  been  hiclierto  neglected, 
suifered  to  spread,  under  the  diivotion  of  chance,  into  wild  exuberanct-,  resigned  to  the  tyranny  of  time 
and  fashion,  and  exposed  to  the  corruption  of  ignorance,  and  caprices  of  innovation. 

When  I  took  the  first  sur\  ej  of  my  undertaking,  I  found  our  speech  co;)i(>us  x',  ithoiit  onler,  and  energelicl* 
without  rules:  wherever  1  turned  my  view;  tharexias  i)erplex!ty  to  be  disentangled  luid  confusioij  to  be  re* 
gulated;  choice  was  to  be  made  oct  of  boundless  xariety,  without  any  established  principle  of  selection;  adul- 
terations were  to  be  detoclti!,  without  a  settlied  test  of  purity;  and  modes  of  c-.pression  to  be  rejected  or  re- 
icivei,  without  the  sufTrages  of  any  writers  of  classical  reputaiioa  or  acl.nowleUged  anthority. 

Hal  ing  therefore  no  assistance  but  from  general  gtannnar,  I  applied  mysi-lf  to  the  perusal  of  onr  wri- 
ters; «nd  noting  whatever  might  be  of  use  to  ascertain  or  illustrate  any  word  or  phrase,  liccuniulated  in 
time,  the  materials  of  a  dictionary,  which,  by  degrees,  I  reduced  to  mciliod,  ciablisliing  to  myseli'  in  the 
progress  of  tlie  work,  such  rules  as  experience  and  analogy  suggested  to  me;  esjifiieiice,  v/hich  practice 
BWd  observation  were  continually  inereasii;g;  and  analogy,  which,  though  in  sojne  words  obscure,  was  evident 
in  others. 

In  adjusting  the  ORTKCGKAPHY,  which  has  been  to  this  time  nnsettled  and  fortuitous,  I  fcind  it  ne- 
cessary to  distingiiish  those  irregiilaritips  that  are  inheient  in  our  tongue,  and  peih;ips  coeval  with  it,  frotn 
others  which  the  ignorance  or  negligence  of  later  writers,  has  ])roiluciHl.  Kveiy  'anguage  li;is  its  anoninlies, 
which  though  inconvenient,  and  in  llieraselves  onte  unuecessan',  must  be  tolrrated  among  the  imperfec- 
tions of  human  things,  a7;d  which  re(]uire  ouly  to  be  registcivd,  that  they  may  not  be  inci-eascd;  and  ascer- 
tained, that  they  may  not  ije  confbuiulcdr  but  every  languflge  hashkeVuseits  improprieties  and  absurdities, 
whicli  it  is  the  duty  of  the  lexicographer  to  corrector  pioscrilK'. 

As  language  was  at  its  beginning' merely  omi,  all  wonb  of  necessary  or  common  use  were  spoken  btlbre 
they  were  written;  and  while  they  were  unfixed  by  any  lisible  signs,  Uinsthavc  been  spoken  with  gi-eai  di- 
versity, as  we  now  obsei-ve  those  who  cannot  read  to  catch  sounds  imperfectly,  and  uttt-r  them  negngpntlv. 
Wheo  this  wild  ami  Iwrbaroiis  jargon  was  fti-st  reduced  to  an  alphabet,  every  peninan  endeavoured  to  ex- 
press, as  he  could,  the  sounds  which  he  was  accustomed  tojironounca  or  to  receive,  and  ritiated  in  writing 
such  words  as  were  alix'ady  I'itiatecl  in  speech.  The  powers  of  the  letters,  when  iliey  were  applied  to  a 
new  language,  must  have  been  vague  and  unsettled,  and  tlieix-fore  difttTent  hands  v/otha  exhibit  the  sanie 
sound  by  different  combiuaiiinis. 

From  tliis  imcertain  pronunciation  arise,  in  a  great  part,  the  v.-\rious  dialects  of  the  same  country,  whiiih 
will  always  Ik-  observed  to  gi-ow  ttjwer.  and  less  different,  as  books  are  nniltiplied;  and  from  tliis  arbiti-arj- 
repiesentation  of  sounds  by  letters,  i)roceeds  that  dixersily  of  si)eiruig  observable  in  the  Sa.\un  remains,  and 
I  suppose  in  the  first  book  of  e>ery  nation,  which  perplexes  or  desti-siys  analogj-  and  produces  anomaloHS 
formations,  which,  when  onccincorporattd,  can  never  be  afterwards  dismissed  or  refonuetl. 

Of  this  kind  are  the  derivatives  lcn,^i/i  from  lotif;.  s.'reugth  from  .ftr;nfr,  linrliug  from  rtear,  breadllt  from 
4roarf,from  dry,  droug'it,  and  from  /lig/',  /icigfit,  whicli  Milton,  in  /.t.-il  for  iinHl&gy,\vrites  liight;  Quid  tc  cv- 
tmpta  juvat  spini/t  rlc  lihirihits  uua-  to  change  all  would  be  foo  mu  .-h,  and  to  change  one  is  nothing. 

ifhis  uncertainty  is  most  frequent  in  the  Aowels,  which  are  so  capriciously  pronounced,  and  so  differently 
mc.  iified,  by  accident  or  affectation,  not  only  in  every  province,  but  in  every  mouth,  that  to  them,  as  is 
well'known  to  etyinologists.liitlo  regard  is  to  be  shewn  in  the  d(  diietioii  of  one  language  from  another. 

Sudi  defects  are^not  errom-s  in  <ulhogral)by,  but  sjiots  of  barhnrisin  iuipresse<l  sodeepin  the  EiifcHiv'i  lait-

but  m.anywoitls  have  likewise  been  altered  by  accident,  or  depraved  b)-ignoranc»',as  the  pifmunciaiion  of 
the  vulgar  has  been  weakly  followed;  and  some  still  continue  fj  Ix-  v;!r)iuisl;,-  written,  as  authors  diflei  in

ing; some  n.en,  intent  mion  greater  thin  s,  have  thought  little  un  sounds  and  derivations;  some,  knowing'  iu 
the  aiiin-iit  tongues,  have  neglected  those  in  whiei.  our  words  ai-e  commonly  to  be  sought.  Thus  Jlnnimoiid 
■\tvilvs  Juiolcni.  s,  for  J(?asibltiicss,  because  I  suppose  he  imagined  it  derived  immediately  from  the  Lalin;  riid 
some  word*  siicii  as  riKpeiuianl,dcpentknt;  dcpti.deuce,  depaideiice,  yur^  their  linal  syllable,  as  one  or  other 
language  is  pr.  ;.  i.t  to  ihe  wr  itr. 

In  tliis  ;a.l  01  the  work,  where  caprice  has  long  wantoned  without  control,  and  vanity  sought  praise  Iry 
potty  ret;)riD;ii;on,  I  have  eiideavoiufri  to  proveed  with  a  scholar's  reverence  for  ai'.ticiuiij',  and  a  gramma- 
rian s  regard  to  tlit  gtiiius of  our  tongue.  1  have  attempt  dfew  alterations,  and air.ong  those  few,  perhaps 
t!ie  greatev  part  is  from  the  modern  to  the  ancient  practice;  and  I  hope  1  may  be  allowed  to  recommend  to 
those,  v.huse  thoughts  liave  been  perhaps,  employed  too  anxiously  on  verbal  singularities,  not  to  disturb, 
upon  narrow  views,  or  for  minute  propriety,  the  orthography  of  their  fathers.  It  has  been  asserted,  that  for 
tlic  law  10  be  knmvti,  is  of  more  importance  than  to  be  right.  Change,  says  Hooker,  is  not  made  without 
iuconvenience,  even  (roni  worse  to  better.  'I'bere  is  in  constancy  and  stability  a  general  and  a  lasting  ad- 
Tantag.-,  which  will  always  overbalance  the  slow  iiiipixivements  of  gradual  correction.  Much  less  ought  our 
written  language  to  comply  with  the  corruptions  of  oral  utterance,  or  copy  tliat  which  evei-y  variation  of 
time  or  place  makes  ditl'erent  from  itself,  and  imitate  those  changes,  which  will  again  be  changed,  while 
imitation  is  employed  in  observing  them. 

This  recomii-.endation  of  steadiness  and  uniformity  does  not  proceed  from  an  o]>inion,  that  pai'ticiilBV 
oumbinatiuns  of  letters  have  much  influence  on  human  happiness;  or  that  truth  mav  not  be  successfully 
taught  by  modes  of  spelling  fanciful  andenoneous;  I  am  not  yet  so  lost  in  lexicograpliy,  as  to  forget  that 
wvrti-i  are  llie  daughUn  of  ctirl/i,  and  thr.t  things  are  tlic  sons  of  iieaven.  Language  is  only  the  instiunieiii  of 
SMieuce,  ami  woitls  are  but  the  signs  df  ideas:  I  wish,  howevev,  that  the  instrument  might  be  less  apt  to  decay, 
and  that  signs  might  be  pennant  nt,  like  the  things  which  they  denote. 

Ui  settling  the  ortl'.ograiihy,  I  have  not  wholly  neglecttd  the  pronnntiafion,  which  I  have  directed,  by 
liriming  an  accent  upon  the  acute  or  elevated  syllable.  It  will  sometimes  be  Ibund,  that  the  accent  is  ]>iacetl 
Jjv  lUe  author  quoted,  on  a  different  syllable  from  that  marke<t  in  the  alphabetical  series;  it  is  then'  tu  be  un- 
derstood, that  custom  has  varied,  or  that  the  author  has,  in  my  opinion,  pronotmced  wrong.  Short  diitc- 
4>uns  are  sometimes  given  where  the  sound  of  letters  is  irregular-  and  if  they  are  sometimeas  omitted,  defect 
in  such  minute  observations  will  be  more  easily  excused,  than  superfluity. 

In  the  investigation  both  of  the  orthography  and  signification  of  words,  their  ETYMOLOGY  wa?  nccev 
,<;.-jrily  to  be  considered,  and  ttiey  v.ere  therefoie  to  be  divided  into  inimiiives  and  derivatives.     A  priiritive  , 
uoiW  is  that  which  can  b^  tiiiced  no  further  to  am  English  root;  thus  circumspect ycircumveiit,circuinslf:ncc, 
delude,  concave,  and  conifilicale,  though  compounds  in  the  Lali7i,  are  to  us  primitives.     Derivatives,  are  all 
those  that  can  be  referred  to  any  w<ml  in  English  of  greater  simplicity. 

The  derivatives  I  have  referred  to  their  jn-imitives,  with  an  accuracy  sometimes  needless;  for  who  does  not' 
see  that  remoteness  comes  I'mmremde,  lovely  i'rum  love,  concax'itij  irom  emu  eve,  atvi  demonstrative  fvoiu  tle- 
//ju;i^^)a<f?  but  this  grammatical  gem  ralexuberaiice  the  scheme  of  my  work  diii  not  allow  me  to  repifss.  Itisof 
great  importance  in  examining  th.e  tiibricji  of  a  language,  to  tmce  one  word  froni  another,  by  noting  tlie 
iisii:.l  modes  of  derivation  and  indection;  and  uniformity  must  be  preserve  l  in  s)  stematical  works,  though 
ocmttiiii-s  at  the  expense  of  particular  pi'opriety. 

Among  other  denvatives  I  have  been  caieful  (o  insert  and  elucidate  the  aiiomalous  phr.als  of  nouns  and 
iii-eterites  of  verbs,  which  in  the  Tenfonick  dialects  are  lery  frequent,  and  though  faiiiiliar  to  those  who  have 
.ilrtays  used  them;  interrupt  and  en.harrass  the  lean.'' sof  our  laiigunge. 

lae  two  l;uiguages  hom  which  our  primitives  have  Iiten  deri\ei'  are  tlie  Honinn  and  Teutoiiick:  under  the 
Soman  I  v:on'.preliend  the  French  and  provincial  tongues:  and  under  the  Teutonick  range  the  Saxcu, 
CLrmati,  and  all  their  kindred  dialects.  Most  of  otir  polj  sylkbles  are  Rjrnian,  and  our  words  of  on  sylla- 
bi;- are  very  often  Teutonick. 

In  assigning  the  Ro^iiun  ori^na!,  it  has  perhaps  sometimes  happened  that  I  ha\c  mentioned  only  the 
Latin,  when  the  word  was  borrowed  from  the  French;  and  considering  myself  as  emiiloyed  only  in  the  illus- 
tration of  my  own  language,  1  have  nut  been  vei^-  careful  to  observe  >•  hether  the  Latin  word  be  pure  oi' 
barbarous,  or  the  French  elegant  or  obsolete. 

J'or  the  Teutonick  etymologies  I  am  commoiily  indebted  <o  Junii:s  and  Skinner,  the  only  names  which  I 
have  forborne  to  quote  when  I  copiul  their  books;  nut  that  I  night  appropriate  their  Inboui  s  or  usurp  their 
Iionours,  but  that  I  might  spare  a  perpetual  repetiticm  by  one  general  acknow  ledgment.  Of  these,  whom  I 
ought  not  to  mention  but  with  the  reverence  due  to  inst'rucicrs  snd  benefactors,  Junius  ajjpears  to  have  ex- 
«elled  in  extsnt  t>f  learning,  and  Skiniter  in  rectitude  of  iinderslar  ling.  Junius  was  accurately  skilled  in  all 
the  northern  languages.  Skinner  probably  examined  the  ancient  and  i-emoter  dialects  only  by  occasional  in- 
spection iiUo  dictiounrjes;  but  the  learning  of  Junius  is  often  of  no  other  use  than  to  show  him  a  track  by 
\,  hicli  he  may  deviate  from  his  purpose,  to  which  Skiiiner  always  presses  forward  by  the  shortest  way.  Ski7i- 
rxr  is  often  ignnrant  but  never  ndiciilous:  Junius  is  always  fu'li  ot  knowlwl;;.;  but  his  variety  distracts  his 
judgment, and  his  learningis  vcvy  frequently  disgraced  l-.y'hisabsuniities. 

'I'.ie  votaries  of  the  nonliern  muses  will  not  perhaps  easily  restrain  their  indignation,  when  they  fin  the 
naii.i-  of  Junius  thus  degraiJed  by  a  disadvantageous  comparison:  hut  whatever  i-eveivnce  is  due  to  h  s  di- 
ligence, or  his  attainments,  it  cvin  be  no  eviminal  degiee  of  eensoriousness  to  clkarge  that  etymologist  w-ith

found  such  as  niaj  eakilj  pass  into  each  other,  or  sueli  as  may  both  Ix'  ntt-rred  to  one  (renural  idea. 

The  etviuolojij.  so  far  as  it  is  yet  kiouii,  was  easily  lound  in  the  volumes  where  it  is  particularly  and  pro- 
fessedly Jeliveml;  and.  by  proper  attention  to  the  niles  of  derivation,  th<;  oiihography  %\as  soon  adjusted. 
But  to  COLLECT  the  WOUDb  of  our  language  was  a  tusk  of  greater  difficulty;  the  deficiency  ol  dictiona- 
rie«  was  iniineuiately  apparent;  and  when  they  were  exhausted,  what  was  _\et  wautiup;  must  be  sought  by 
fbrtuitous  and  unguided  excursions  into  books,  and  g-leaiied  as  industry  should  find,  or  chance  should  lofter  it 
in  the  boundless  chaos  ol  a  living  speech.  My  siat«h,  however,  has  been  eitlier  skilful  or  lucky;  for  I  h«To 
much  augnienti<l  tlie  vocabulai-y. 

As  my  design  was  a  dictionary,  common  orappellative,  I  have  omitted  all  woi-ds  which  have  relation  to 
proper  numes;  such  as  Aiioit,  Sociuian,  Calvinist,  Beneilictine,  Malwwetan;  but  liave  retained  iliote  of  a  mort 
general  nature,  as  Het.i/uti,  Pagan.

withuut  proof. 

The  woitls  thus  svleeted  and  disposed,  are  grammatically  considered:  they  are  referred  to  the  diffiarent 
I>arts  uf  sj>eech;  tractd  when  they  are  irregularly  inftttted,  tliroiigh  their  vaiious  termlimtions,  and  illustrat-

'i  he  pari  of  my  work  on  «bkb  I  cNpttt  malignity  niosi  iVequcniiy  to  fasten,  is  the  LxplaniOion;  in  which 
I  cannot  hope  to  satisly  tliosc  who  are  perhaps  not  inelinLil  to  he  pleased,  since  I  have  not  always  been  able 
to  satisfy  v.jysrlf.  To  interpret  a  lang;ni<(:;f  bj  itself  is  very  difVicult;  many  woitis  cannot  be  explained  by  sy- 
liunimes,  because  the  idea  signified  by  them  has  not  more  than  one  appellation:  nor  by  paraphrase,  because 
simple  ideas  cannot  be  dcsciibed.  Whei:  llii  natuit-  of  things  is  unknown,  orthe  notion  unsettled  and  inde- 
finite, and  various  in  various  minds,  the  udrIs  by  which  such  notions  are  conveyed,  or  such  things  denoted. 
Will  bt-  ambiguous  and  perplexed.  And  such  is  the  fate  ol  hapless  lexicography,  that  not  only  darkness,  but 
lij;!it,  impedes  and  distresses  it;  tilings  may  be  not  only  too  little,  but  too  mncb  known,  to  l)e  happily  illus- 
trated. 'Io  explain,  requires  the  use  of  terms  Itss  abstruse  than  that  wliicb  is  to  be  explained,  and  suck 
terms  cainiot  always  be  lound;  for  as  nothing  can  be  pi-oved  but  by  supposingson.etbing  intuitively  known, 
and  eridtiit  without  I'rool,  so  nothing  can  be  defined  but  by  the  use  of  woi^s  too  i)lain  to  admit  a  defi- 
nition. 

Other  woitls  there  are,  of  wliicli  the  sense  is  too  stibile  and  evanescent  to  he  found  in  a  paraphrase;  sueh 
are  all  tliosi  which  are  by  the  grammarians  mn»  A  e.xpletivi's,  and  in  dead  languages,  are  stiffercd  to  pass  for 
emj)ly  sounds,  of  no  other  use  than  to  till  a  verst,  '"" '"  modulate  a  period,  but  which  are  easdy  perceived 
in  living  tongues  to  have  power  and  enijtbasis,  liiough  it  be  sunietimes  such  as  no  other  form  of  expression 
tun  cor.Vc  y. 

My  labour  has  likewise  been  much  increased  by  a  class  of  verbs  too  frequent  in  the  English,  language,  of 
which  tiic  signiiicaiionisso  loose  and  general,  the  use  so  vague  and  indeterminate,  and  the  senses  detoried  so 
vridtly  from  die  first  idea,  that  it  is  hard  to  trace  theni  through  ih  maze  ot  variaiioii,  to  catch  them  on  the 
lirink  of  utter  inanity,  to  circumscribe  them  by  any  limitations,  or  interpret  them  by  any  word.^  of  distinct

If  of  these  the  whole  poueris  not  accurately  delivered,  it  must  be  remembered  that  while  our  language  is 
yet  living,  and  variable  by  the  eaprict  of  evti-yone  that  speaivs  u,  these  words  are  houi-ly  shifting  iluir  re

The  particles  are  anion):;  all  nations  ap,'iied  with  so  great  latitude,  that  they  are  not  easily  reducible  undei 
any  regular  seiieme  of  ex;)lication;  this  difficulty  is  i'Ot  less,  nor  perhaps  greater,  in  Ett^luh  than  in  other  Ian

•which  no  man,  however  learmtl  or  sagacious,  has  yet  betn  able  toperlorm. 

3:ime  words  there  are  which  I  cannot  explain,  because  I  do  not  understand  them;  these  might  have  been 
omitted  very  often  with  little  inconvenience,  but  1  would  not  so  Ijirindslge  luy  vaniiy  as  to  <iecline  tliis  con- 
fession; tor  when  Tully  ownshimseU'  ignorant  whether  ksiin;,  in  the  twelve  tables  means  a  funeral  song,  or 
mourning  garment;  and  Ai  isiotte  ihuhts  ■wWlUn- oupiuf,  in  the  Iliad,  signifies  a»n«/e,  ov  mvleirer,  I  may 
freely,  withuut  sbani' .  have  some  obscurities  to  happier  industiy,  or  future  information. 

The  rigour  of  interpretative  lexicography  re<|uii\s  that  i/if  fa/i/onn^/on,  and  the  word  explained,  should 
he  alviuys  reapror.al;  tliis  I  have  always  endraa-our  <i.  but  couhi  not  always  attain.  Words  are  seldom  ex- 
actly syTionimous  a  rew  term  was  not  introduced,  but  because  the  former  was  thought  inadequate:  names, 
tlierefore,  have  (Iten  n  any  ideas,  but  few  ideas  have  many  names.  U  was  then  necessary  tx>  use  the  proxi- 
mate wonl,  for 'the  deln'ienay  of  single  terms  can  very  seldoii  he  supplied  by  cjrctsnlocution;  nor  is  the  in- 
convenience great  of  such  mut;!ated  interpretations,  because  the  sense  may  easily  be  collected  entire  from 
the  examples. 

In  every  word  of  extensive  use,  it  was  requisite  to  mark  the  progress  of  its  meaning,  and  show  by  what 
gradations  of  intermediate  sense,  it  has  passed  from  its  jirimitive  to  its  remote  and  accidental  signification;  so 
that  evei7  foregoing  explanation  should  tend  to  that  which  follows,  and  the  series  be  regularly  concatenated 
fVom  the  first  notion  (o  the  last. 

This  is  specious,  but  not  always  practicable;  kindred  senses  may  be  so  intenvoven,  that  thepsrplexify  can- 
not be  disentangled,  nor  any  reason  be  assign»d  why  one  sliould  be  ranged  before  the  oilier.  Wnen  ihe  ra- 
dical idea  branches  out  into  paralh  i  ramifications,  how  can  a  consccuiiie  series  be  formed  of  senses  in  their 
nature  collateral.'  The  shades  of  meaning  sometimes  pass  imprceptibiy  into  each  other;  so  that  though  on 
one  side  they  apparently  differ,  yet  it  is  inipossible  to  mark  the  point  of  contact.  Ideas  of  the  samei-ace, 
though  not  exactly  alike,  are  sometimes  so  little  different,  that  no  words  can  express  their  dissimilitude, 
though  the  mind  easily  perceives  it.  whentliey  are  exhibited  to.:ether;  and  sometimes  there  is  such  a  con- 
fusion  of  acceptations,  thai  discernment  is  wearied,  and  distiuctio>  puzzled,  and  perseverance  heKelf  liurrie* 
to  an  end,  by  crowding  together  what  she  cannot  separate. 

These  complaints  of  difficulty  will,  by  those  that  have  never  considered  words  beyond  their  popular 
use,  be  thought  anly  the  jargon  of  a  man  willing  to  magnify  his  labours,  land  procure  veneration  to  his  stu- 
dies by  involution  and  obscurity.  But  every  art  is  obscure  lo  those  who  have  not  learned  it:  this  uucert.iintv 
of  terms,  and  commixture  of  ideas,  is  well  known  to  those  who  have  joined  jiliilosophy  with  grammar,  and  if 
I  have  not  expressed  them  very  clearly,  it  must  be  remembtred  that  1  am  s]ieaking  of  that  which  words  are 
instifficient  to  explain. 

The  original  sense  of  words  is  often  driven  out  of  use  by  their  metaphorical  acceptations,  yet  must  be  in- 
serted for  the  sake  ot  a  regular  origination.  Thus  I  know  not  whether  ardour  h  used  for  tnnterial  heat,  or 
whether jJo^Ta;!/,  in  English,  ever  signifies  the  same  with  hnintnf;  yet  such  are  the  primitivcjdeas  of  these 
wortls,  which  ai'e  therefore  set  first,  though  wiiliout  e,\."u:iplcs,  that  the  figurative  senses  may  be  commodi- 
ously  deduced. 

Such  is  the  exuberance  of  signification  which  many  woi-ds  have  obtained,  that  it  was  scareely  possible  to 
collect  all  their  senses;  sometimes  tlie  meaning  of  derivatives  must  besought  in  tlie  mother  term, and  sonif- 
timcs  deficient  explanations  of  1  he  primitive  may  be  supulie<l  in  the  ti-ain  ot  derivation.  In  any  case  of 
doubt  or  difllctdty,  it  will  1k'  always  proper  to  examine  nfl  the  words  of  the  same  race;  for  some  words  aw 
slightly  passed  over  to  avoid  repetition,  some  admitted  easier  and  clearer  explaniition  than  others,  and  all  will 
lie  better  understood,  as  they  lu-e  consideretl  in  a  greater  \  ariety  of  structures  ."uid  relations. 

All  the  interpretations  of  words  are  not  written  with  tlie  same  skill,  or  tlie  same  happiness;  things  equally 
easy  in  themselves,  are  not  all  equally  easy  to  any  single  mind.  Kveiy  writer  of  a  long  work  commits  er- 
murs,  when  tlieiti  appears  neither  air.higuity  to  mislead,  nor  obscurity  to  confound  him;  and  in  a  search  like 
this,  many  felicities  of  expression  w  ill  be  casually  overlooktHl,  many  convenient  parallels  will  be  forgotten, 
and  many  particulars  will  admit  improvement  f^rom  a  mind  utterly  unequal  to  the  whole  peiformance.

The  examples,  thus  mutilated,  are  no  longer  to  be  considered  as  tonveying  the  sniwnents  or  doctrine  of 
their  aiitliors;  the  w  ord  for  :he  sake  of  w  hich  they  areiuserted  with  a!  I  its  appeiidani  clauses,  has  been  care- 
fully preserve^!;  but  it  may  sometimes  happen,  by  hasty  dptruncatien,  that  the  general  tendeaicy  of  tho  sen- 
tence may  be  changed:  the  di\-ine  may  desert  his  tenets,  or  t!ie  philusopher  his  sj  stem. 

Some  of  the  examjiles  have  bet-n  taken  from  writ-rs  who  were  nev  er  mentiune<!  as  masters  of  elegance  or 
models  of  style;  but  words  must  be  sought  where  they  are  used;  an-'  in  what  p  ges,  eminent  for  purity,  can 
terms  of  inanutiicti:re  or  agriculture  be  found?  Many  quotaiions  serve  no  other  purpose-,  than  that  of  proving 
the  bare  existence  of  wonis,  and  are  therefore  selectetl  w  ith  less  scrupulousuess  than  those  which  are  t*  teach 
their structiu'es and  n  lations. 

My  purpose  was  to  admit  no  testimony  of  any  living  authors  that  I  might  not  be  misled  by  partiality,  tnd 
that  none  of  my  contemiioraiies  might  have  n  ason  to  complain;  nor  bav'  I  departed  from  this  resolution,  but 
hut  when  some  performance  <if  uncommon  excellence  excited  mj  v-  neration,  when  my  memoi-j-  supplied 
me,  from  late  hooks,  with  an  example  that  was  wanting,  or  whenray  heart, in  tlie  lenderntss  of  friendship,  so- 
licited admission  for  a  favourite  name. 

So  far  have  I  been  from  any  care  to  grace  my  pages  with  modem  decorations,  that  I  have  studiously  endea- 
voured to  colli  ct  exnmjili  s  and  authorities  from  the  w  riters  betbi-e  the  rtstoratiou,  whose  works  I  legaixl  as 
the  -ivrih  iif  r-ngfifh  undefkd,  as  the  pure  sources  of  ^emiiii  diction.  Our  language,  for  nlmost  a  century, 
has,  hy  the  concurrence  of  many  causes,  bfen  gradiiflllj  di  parti'ig  from  its  o'-igim:!  Teutonick  character,  and, 
ie\  iating  tow  ards  a  GaiHr/c  structure  and  phraseologj',  fi-om  wliicli  it  ought  to  '  e  our  endeavour  to  reeal  it  by 
making  our  anciint  volumes  the  groundwork  of  srjh  .admitting  unionp  the  additions  of  Inter  tiiiits,  only  such 
Rs  mav  supply  real  deficiencies;  such  as  are  readily  adopted  by  the  i;"iiius  of  our  tongue,  and  incorporate  ea- 
sily with  our  native  idioms. 

But  as  every  language  has  a  time  of  rud<sness  antecedent  to  perfi  etion.  as  well  as  ol  false  refinemtnt  and 
declension,  I  have  been  cmuiioiis  lest  my  zeal  for  riiitiqiiity  might  ilrive  me  into  tin:es  too  remote,  and  crowd 
my  book  with  wonls  now  no  longer  understood.  I  have  fixid  Sidnr  i/s  work  lor  the  boundary,  bt  yond  which 
I  make  few  exounions.  From  the  authors  which  rose  in  tjie  time  of  Elizabeth,  a  spet-ch  might  be  formed 
adequate  to  all  the  purposes  of  use  and  ete ganc  ,  If  the  lanRuage  oi'  theology  were  extract«i  from  Hooker 
nml  the  translation  of  the  Bible;  the  terms  of  natural  knowledge  from  Soroij;  i)>e  phrases  of  policy,  war, 
and  navigatijin  from  Raleii;/^;  thedin!«  ct  oJ'  poeti-j-  and  fiction  fi-om  Spt-mer  and  Sidney,  and  the  diction  of 
common  lift'  from  Shakipeare,  few  ideas  would  be  lost  ti>  ii.ankind,  for  Wiuit  of  English  words,  in  w hich  they 
might  be  expressed. 

it  is  not  sufficunt  that  a  word  is  found,  unless  it  be  so  combined  as  that  its  meaning;  is  apparently  deter- 
mined hy  tlie  tract  and  tenour  of  the  sentence;  such  passagt  s  I  have  therefore  chosen,  and  when  It  liap[iened 
that  any  author  gave  a  definition  of  a  term,  or  such  an  explauatii.n  as  is  equivalent  to  a  definition,  1  have 
placed  his  authority  as  a  supplement  to  my  own,  without  rrgard  to  the  chronological  ordi  r,  that  is  otherwisei 
observed. 

Some  words,  indeed,  stand  unsupported  by  any  authorit)-,  hut  they  are  commonly  derivative  nouns  or  ad- 
verlis,  fiirrned  from  their  primitives  by  regular  an<l  constant  analogy,  or  names  of  things  seldom  occurring  in 
books,  or  words  of  which  I  have  reason  to  doubt  the  existence. 

There  is  more  danger  of  censure  from  the  multiplicity  than  pniiclt/of  example;  authorities  will  some- 
times sce-n  to  have  been  accumulated  without  necessity  or  use,  and  p(  rfiaps  some  will  lie  found,  which  might, 
without  loss,  have  licen  omitted.  But  a  work  of  this  kind  is  not  hastily  to  he  charged  with  sujierfluities: 
those^quotatioiis  which  to  careless  or  unskilful  perusers  appear  only  to  repeat  the  same  sense,  will  often 
exhibit  to  a  more  acciii-ate  examiner,  diversities  of  signification,  or,  at  least  afliird  diflcrent  shades  of  the 
same  meaning:  one  will  show  the  woixl  applie<l  to  persons,  another  to  things;  one  will  express  an  ill, 
another  a  p-ood,  and  a  third  a  neuiml  sense;  one  will  prove  the  ex]  sion  genuine  from  an  ancient  author; 
another  will  shew  it  elegant  from  a  modern;  a  doubtful  authority  i  oriiibomted  by  one  of  more  credit;  an 
ambiguous  sentence  is  ascertaineil  by  a  passage  clear  and  determinate ;  the  word,  how  often  soever  reiieated, 
appears  with  new  associates  and  in  diffeii'iit  combinations,  and  every  quotation  contributes  something  to  the 
stability  or  enlargement  of  the  langtiage. 

When  words  are  used  equi\ocally,  I  receive  them  in  either  sense;  when  they  are  metaphorical,  I  adopt 
them  in  their  primitive  acceptation. 

1  have  sometimes,  tliough  rarely,  yielded  to  the  temptation  of  exhibiting  a  genealogy  of  sentimeMt  by- 
showing  how  one  author  copii  d  the  thougtits  and  diction  of  anothei-:  such  quotations  are  indeed  little  more 
than  repetitions,  which  might  justly  be  eensurcd,  did  the)-  not  gratify  the  mmd,  by  nflbrding  a  kind  of  intel. 
leetiial  history. 

The  v.irious  svntaefical  stnictures  occurring  in  the  examples  hare  been  carefully  noted;  the  license  or  ne- 
glipenct'with  which  man_y  words  have  been  hitherto  use<l,  has  made  our  style  capricious  and  indetenninate; 
when  the  diffi nent  rombmations  of  the  same  woi-dare  exhibited  together,  the  prel'erenie  is  readily  given  to 
jropriety,  and  I  have  often  endeavound  to  diri-ct  the  choice. 

Thus  have  I  laboured  hy  nettling  the  orthography,  displaying  the  analogy,  regulating  the  stnieture,an4 
aseerfaining  the  sipnifieation  of  Zngluh  words,  to  perform  all  the  parts  of  a  faithful  lezieographeT:  bat  I

aim  IS  inciilent  to  erery  one  w'.iose  fancy  is  active,  and  whose  vi^-ws  are  cojnpivhcnsive;  nor  is  any  man  sa- 
tisfied with  himself  because  he  has  done  much,  but  tx-caus'  he  can  conceive  liitle.  When  first  I  engaged  in 
this  work,  I  resolved  to  leave  neither  words  nor  tilings  nnexaniini-d,  and  pi- ased  myself  witlia  prospect  of 
the  hours  which  I  should  revel  away  in  feasts  "f  liter.iiiir-,  the  •bseure  recesses  of  norihem  leaniint^  which 
I  should  enter  and  ransack,  ih-  treasures  with  which  I  expected  erery  «arch  into  those  nejjlected  mines  to  re- 
ward  my  labour,  and  thi.  triumph  with  which  I  should  diiplny  i>iy  aequisuions  t»  mankind.  Whenfl  liad  thni 
inquired  into  the  oiif^inal  words,  I  ivsotvcd  to  sliuw  likewise  my  uiieniion  to  things;  to  pie-ice  de  p  into 
every  science,  to  inquii-e  the  nature  of  every  substance  of  which  liuH-rled  the  name,  to  Ijmt  every  idea  by 
a  definition  stiietly  loj^ical,  and  exhibit  every  production  of  an  or  nai  ine  in  an  acciimte  descriptioni  that  my 
book  might  be  in  place  of  all  other  dictionaries  whether  appellatise  or  technical.  But  these  w.  n  the  dreamt 
of  a  poet  doometl  at  last  lo  wake  a  Icxicofjrapher.  I  soon  found  that  it  is  too  late  to  look  fiir  inslrumenCs, 
when  the  work  calls  for  execution;  and  that  whatevt  r  abilities  I  had  brought  to  my  task,  with  those  I  must 
linnlly  perform  it.  To  delib-raie  whenever  I  doubted,  lo  inquire  whenes-er  1  was  ignorant,  would  have  pro- 
tracted the  undeilakiu?  without  end,  and,  i>erhaps,  without  nnich  iuipmveinent;  for  I  did  jiot  find  by  my 
first  ex[>eriments  that  what  1  had  not  of  my  own  was  ejsily  to  bt  obt-ined:  I  saw  that  one  inquiry  only  gas'e 
occasion  to  another,  that  book  referred  to  1>ook,  that  to  search  was  not  alway  s  lo  find,  and  »o  find  was  not  al- 
ways to  Ix-  informed;  and  that  thus  to  pursue  perlection,  was.  like  tlie  first  inhabitaiiis  of  .Aieadia.  to  chase 
the  Sim,  which,  when  they  had  reached  the  hill  where  he  seciiied  to  rest,  was  still  behi  Id  at  the  same  distauce 
from  th.  ra. 

1  then  contracted  my  design,  determining  to  confide  in  myself,  and  no  longer  to  solicit  auxiliaries,  wliicli 
produced  more  incumbrance  than  assistance:  by  this  I  obtained  at  least  one  advantage,  that  I  set  limits  to 
my  work,  which  wi.nld  in  time  be  ended,  though  not  completed. 

Despondency  has  never  so  far  piwoiled  as  to  depr«s  nie  to  negligence;  some  faults  will  at  last  appear  to 
be  the  effects  of  anxious  diligeiice  and  pei-severing  activity.  The  ii'ee  and  subtle  ramifications  of  meaning 
were  not  easily  avoided  by  a  mind  iuteiil  upon  aceui-acy,  and  oiivinced  of  the  necessity  of  disentangling 
combinations,  and  separating  similitudes.  Many  of  the  distinctions  which  to  common  readers  appear  use- 
less and  idle,  will  be  found  real  and  important  by  ir^en  versed  in  th»  school  of  philosophy,  witliout  wliich 
no  dictionaiy  can  ever  lie  accurately  compiled,  or  skilfully  examined. 

Some  senses  however  there  are,  which  thi>uRh  not  the  same,  are  yet  so  nearly  allied,  that  they  are  often 
eonfounded.  Most  men  tlmik  indistinctly,  and  tlierefoiv  eaniioi  speak  wiih  exactness;  and  consequently 
8onu-  examples  might  be  indiifereiitly  put  to  either  signification:  this  uncertainty  is  not  to  be  imputed  to 
me,  who  do  not  forni,  but  register  the  language;  who  do  not  teach  men  how  they  should  think,  but  relate 
how  they  have  hitlierto  expressed  their  thoiighis. 

The  imperfect  sense  of  some  exam[>les  1  lamented  bot  eould  not  remedy,  and  hope  they  will  be  compen- 
eated  by  innumerable  passages  selected  with  propriety,  and  pi^cserved  with  exactness;  some,  shining  witli 
sparks  of  imaginaiien,  and  some  replete  with  tix-asures  of  wisdom. 

The  ortliography  and  etymology,  though  imperfect,  are  not  imperfect  for  want  of  care,  but  because  care  will 
not  always  lie  successful,  and  recollection  or  information  come  too  late  for  use. 

That  many  terms  of  art  and  manufacture  are  omitted,  must  be  fi-ankly  acknowledged;  but  for  this  defect 
I  may  boldly  allege  that  it  was  unavoidable.  I  could  not  visit  cavenis  to  learn  the  miner's  language,  nor 
talie  a  voyage  to  perfect  ray  skill  in  the  dialect  of  navigation,  nor  visit  the  warehouses  of  merchants,  and 
lihops  of  aitificers,  to  gain  the  names  of  wares,  tools,  and  oiK-ratioiis  of  which  no  mention  is  found  in  books; 
what  favourable  accident,  or  easy  inquiry  brought  wiOiiii  my  it-achibas  not  tieen  neglected;  but  it  had  been 
a.  hopeless  labour  to  glean  up  woitls,by  (hurting  living  information,  and  contesting  with  the  sullenness  of  one, 
and  the  roughness  of  another. 

To  furnish  iJie  academicians  ilella  Crtisca  with  words  of  tliis  kind,  a  series  of  comedies  called  (a  Fiern  or 
the  Fair,  was  professedly  written  bv  Buunaroli;  but  1  had  no  such  assistant,  and  theretore  was  k-ontent  ,to 
want  w'  at  thi-y  must  liave  wanted  likeMisc,  had  they  not  luckily  lieen  so  supplied. 

Nor  are  all  words  which  are  not  found  in  the  v^jcabulrry,  (o  be  lamented  as  omissions.  Of  the  laborious 
and  mercantile  part  of  the  people,  the  diction  is  in  a  gitat  measure  casual  and  mutable;  many  of  their 
terras  are  formed  for  some  temporary  or  local. convenience,  anil  though  curn-ntat  certajji  times  and  ]>laces,ai« 
in  others  utterly  unknown.  This  fugitive  cant,  which  is  always  in  a  stale  of  increase  or  decay,  cannot  be  re- 
gardetl  as  any  part  of  the  durable  materials  of  a  language,  and  therefore  must  be  suffei'ed  to  perish  with  other 
things  unworthy  of  preservation. 

Care  will  sometimes  Ijetray  to  the  api>e4irance  of  negligence.  He  that  is  catching  opportunities  which 
seldom  occur,  will  suffer  those  to  pass  by  unregarded,  wiiicn  he  exp'cts  hourly  to  retii.Ti;  he  that  is  searching 
for  rare  and  remote  things,  will  neglect  those  that  are  obvious  an.l  i'amiliar:  thus  many  of  the  mostroinmun 
and  cursoi-y  wonls  have  be»»n  inserted  with  little  illiistraiioii,  because  in  gatberin.;  the  authnriliei,  I  forlwre 
to  copy  those  which  I  ihrjurlit  lik«  ly  to  occur  whenever  ihey  were  wanted.  It  is  remarkable  that,  in  review- 
ing my  coll'.ction  I  found  the  word  oPwV  unexeraplilitd. 

rhi.sit  happens  th.at  in  things  difticull  I  h-  re  is  danger  from  ignorance,  and  in  things  easy  from  confidence; 
the  mind,  afniid  of  greatness,  and  disdain.'ul  of  liltl  ness,  h<siily  witlidi-aws  hei'self  from  painful  searches, 
aiul  passes  with  seornfiil  rapidiiy  over  tasks  not  adequai  to  her  powers, soinetimes  too  secure  for  eautitm, 
aiul  again  too  anxious  for  vigoi-ous  effort;  sometimes  i>lle  in  a  plain  path,  and  sometimes  disiraclesl  in  laby- 
rinths, and  dissipatetl  by  dirter'-nt  intentions. 

A  large  work  is  difficult  because  it  is  large,  eren  th'jug'i  all  its  parts  might  sin:;Iy  bw  prrfbnned  with  IVtcl-

rRRFACK.  IS 

U»"  thP  rveit  of  tliis  work,  tor  which,  having  laboured  it  with  >o  muck  application,  1  cah»<it  l»ut  li«v« 
>a:ne  degree  of  parental  t'unane<i,  it  i<  nnturil  to  form  conjectures.  Those  who  have  been  penuaded  t* 
lUiiik  well  of  luy  design,  will  require  that  it  should  lis;  our  lau^ua^  and  put  a  ktop  to  those  allenli*n« 
which  liinp  and  chance  have  hitherto  been  suirered  to  inake  in  it  without  oppusilion.  With  this  consequence 
I  will  confess  that  I  flattered  myjell' for  a  while;  but  now  bei^in  to  (uar  that  I  have  indul^J  expecutioa 
whicli  neither  reason  nor  experience  cai\justify.  When  we  see  men  gro  .v  old  aii'.l  die|at  a  certain  time  one  after 
another,  from  century  to  centuiy,  we  laugh  at  the  elixir  tliat  promis-s  to  prolong  liti;  to  a  tliousand  year*, 
and  with  equal  justice  may  the  lexicographer  be  derided,  who  beiu^  abl»  to  produce  no  example  of  a  natioa 
tliat  has  preserved  their  words  and  phrases  from  mutability,  shall  imaqpne  that  hit  dictionary  can  embalm 
his  lan^uaji.-,  and  secure  it  from  corruption  and  ilecay,  that  it  is  in  his  psjwer  to  change  subiunarv  nature, 
and  clear  the  world  at  once  from  folly,  vanity,  and  affectation. 

With  this  hope,  however,  academies  have  been  instituted,  to  i^iuird  the  avenues  of  their  lan^ai;es,  to  re- 
lain  (ugitives.  and  repulse  intruders;  but  their  vigilance  and  activity  have  hitherto  been  vain;  sounds  are 
»oo  volatile  and  subtile  for  lecfal  restraints;  to  enc'iaiu  syllabi  s,  and  to  lash  the  wind,  are  equally  the  under- 
taking of  pride,  unwilling  to  measure  its  desires  by  its  strength.  The  Frenh  laug;uai;e  has  >isibly  clianged 
under  the  inspection  of  the  academy;  the  ityle  of  ^hutWj  tn-uislation  of  father  I'uut  n  observed  by  Le 
Coiirrj'jfr  to  be  un  peupaur;  and  no  I'alinn  will  maintain,  that  the  diction  of  any  modern  wiiter  is  not  per- 
ceptibly ditVereut  from  that  of  Borcace,  Machiai'cl,  or  Caro. 

Total  and  sudden  trausforniatious  of  a  language  seldom  happen;  conquests  and  migrations  are  now  verj- 
rere;  but  there  are  other  causes  of  change,  which,  though  slow  in  their  oi>eration  and  invisible  in  tlieir  pro- 
gress, are  perhaps,  as  much  superior  to  human  resistance,  as  the  revolutions  of  tlie  sky  or  intumescence  of 
the  tide.  Commerce,  however  necessary,  however  lucrative,  as  it  d^-praves  the  manners,  corrupts  the  lan- 
guage; they  that  have  frequent  intercourse  with  strangers,  to  whom  thev  endeavour  to  accommodate  them- 
selves, must  in  time  learn  a  mingled  dialect,  like  the  jargon  which  serves  tlie  traffickers  on  the  Mediterranean 
and  Indian  C!)a?ls.  This  will  not  always  lie  confined  to  the  escliange,  the  warehouse,  or  the  port,  but  will  lie 
communicated  by  degrees  to  other  ranks  of  the  people,  and  be  at  last  incorporated  with  the  current  speech. 
There  are  likewise  internal  causes  equally  forcible.  The  language  most  likely  to  continue  long  without 
alteration,  would  lie  that  of  a  nation  raised  a  little,  and  but  a  little,  alwve  barbarity,  secluded  from  strangers, 
and  totally  employed  in  procuring  i!ie  conveniences  of  life;  either  without  books,  or,  like  some  of  the  Maho- 
inetan  countries,  with  very  few;  nu-n  thus  busied  and  unlearned,  having  only  such  words  as  common  use  re- 
quires, would  perhaps  long  continue  to  express  the  same  notions  by  the  same  signs.  But  no  such  constancy- 
can  be  expected  in  n  people  polishv-d  by  arts,  and  classed  by  subordination,  wheru  one  part  of  the  community 
is  sustainetl  and  aceommoilated  by  the  labour  of  the  other.  Those  who  have  much  leisure  to  think,  will  al- 
ways be  enlarging  the  stock  of  ideas,  and  ev.  ry  increase  of  knowledge,  whether  real  or  fancied,  will  produce 
Hew  words  or  co  ubinations  of  words.  When  the  mind  is  unchained  frjm  necessity,  it  will  range  after  con- 
Tenieuce;  when  it  is  left  at  large  in  the  fields  of  spvculation,  it  will  sliiCt  opinions;  as  any  custom  is  disused, 
the  words  that  expressed  it  must  perish  with  it;  as  any  opinion  grows  popular,  it  w  ill  iiuiovate  speech  in  the 
ume  proportion  as  it  alters  practice. 

As  by  the  cultivation  ot  various  sciences,  a  language  is  amplified,  it  wU  be  raorc  furnished  ^vith  word  ;  de- 
flected froMi  their  original  sens--;  the  geom:  trician  will  talk  of  a  courtier's  zenitli,  or  the  eccentrick  virtue  o^ 
a  wild  hero,  anJ  the  physician  of  sanguine  exi>eclations  and  plilegnatick  delays.  Copiousness  of  speech 
will  give  opportunities  to  capricious  choice,  by  which  some  woi-ds  will  be  pi-efei-red  and  oih;-rs  degi-aded; 
Ticissitudes  of  fasliion  will  enforce  the  use  of  new.  or  extend  the  signitieation  i>f  known  tevm^.  The  tropes 
of  poetry  will  make  hourly  encroachments,  and  the  metaphoriv.al  will  become  the  current  sense:  pronunci- 
ation will  be  s-aried  by  levity  and  ignorance,  and  the  pen  must  at  length  comply  with  the  tongue;  illiterate 
writers  will  at  one  li.ne  or  other,  'ly  public  c  infatuatio J,  rise  into  renown,  who  not  Knowing  the  original  im 
port  of  Words  will  use  them  with  colloquial  licentiousness,  confound  distinction,  and  torget  propriety.  As 
politeness  increases,  so.ne  expressions  will  be  considered  as  too  gross  and  vulgar  fjr  the  delicate,  others  are 
too  formal  and  cere.nonio'as  lor  the  g4y  and  aii-y;  new  p!ir  ist-s  are  therefoi-e  ;idopt.d,  which  must,  for  the 
•ame  reasons,  be  in  time  dismissed.  iVc//?,  m  his  petty  tr,  atiseon  the  £;i^/i>// language,  allows  that  new 
woixlj  must  so  neti  nes  be  iutr.iduced,  hiit  proixjses  that  none  should  be  surfVivd  o  become  obsolete.  Bat 
what  makes  a  warl  obsolete  :ii  >re  than  geiiei-al  agr -emorit  to  fort>e:ir  it?  and  haw  shall  i'  be  continued, 
when  it  conveys  an  olensive  idea,  •r  recalle  I  again  into  the  mouths  of  mankind,  wiien  it  has  once  become 
unfamiliar  by  disuse,  and  unpleasing  by  unfaniiliarity. 

There  is  another  cause  of  alteration  more  prevalent  than  any  other,  whi-h  yet  in  the  present  state  of  the 
world  cannot  be  obi  iated.  A  ;iii\ture  of  two  laugiiag-s  will  jn-oduce  a  third  distinct  fro.u  both,aiid  tUes  will 
always  be  :nixed,  wh  .-re  the  chief  port  of  ed'jcalVon,  and  the  most  conspicuous  accomplishment,  is  skill  in  an- 
cient or  in  foreign  tongues.  He  that  '.as  b'lg  cunis-ated  i'ooth  r  laiig-iage  ivii'.  6.1 1  its  words  a-'id  combina- 
tions crowd  upon  his  meMioi-y;  and  haste,  and  negli5,eiice,  refinement  and  aifeciation,  will  obtru 'e  borrowed 
terms  and  exotick  expressions. 

The  great  p -St  of  speech  is  frequency  o  trail  lation .  \'o  ojok  wis  ever  turned  from  one  language  into 
mnother.  without  i.nparting  sometiiingof  its  uariv;  iii.>  .1;  this  is  the  _  iiost  mischievous  and  com  tv.iensive 
innovation;  single  worls  may  enter  by  t'ija*»nd.,  aiil  the  labi-iciv  of  ih  ■  tongue  c-^ntinue  th^-  saint-,  out 
new  phraeology  ciianges  much  at  once;  it  alters  not  the  single  stones  of  the  uuilding,  b»it  the  order  of  the 
eolumns.  If  an  acide.ny  shiulJ  be  establisae.1  lor  tie  culiivaiion  o'-'  .nr  style,  »  hich  I,  who  c.in  never  wish 
to  see  depenienc*  niliipliel,  'm,),:  the  ;,>lrt  .t  K.-j^iV;^  lue.-iy  will  hinder  or  -.Wstroy.let  them,  instead  of 
eompiling  grammars  and  dictionaries,  endeas'our  witn  all  their  iuSueuce,  to  stop  the  lit -nee  of  trandators, 
whose  Wlen.-ss  and  ignorance,  if  it  be  .uT^r  J  toproc-e»l.  will  reduce  us  to  lisbble  a  di.nlect  o\'  Fr-::cc. 

If  the  chang.^  tliat  we  l"-ar  be  thus  iiTesistible.  what  retnauis  but  to  acquiesce  in  >iteiice  as  in  the  other 
insurmount able  distresses  of  humanity?  It  re:naini  tliat  we  n  tard  what  we  caiuiut  r  pei,  that  wc  puliaie

'  gcmess  lo  tlie  end,  and  someiinu-s  faint  with  weariness  under  a  task,  which  Scaligcr  compares  to  the  labours 
of  tlie  anvil  and  the  mini  ;  that  what  is  obvious  is  not  always  known,  and  what  is  known  is  not  alw ays  present; 
that  sudden  fits  of  iuadverteiic\  will  surprise  vigilance,  slight  avoeatious  -will  sf-duce  attention,  and  casHal 
ecUpstsof  the  mind  will  darken  learning;;  and  that  the  \yriter_  shall  often  in  vain  trace  his  memory  at  th;; 
moment  of  need,  for  that  which  yesterday  he  knew  with  intuitii?fe  i-eadiness,  and  which  will  come  imcalled 
Into  his  thoughts  to-mor.ow. 

In  this  work,  when  it  shall  be  found  that  much  is  omitted,  let  it  not  be  forpotten  that  much  likewise  is 
performed;  antl  though  no  book  was  ever  spared  out  of  tenderness  to  the  author,  and  the  world  is  little  «o- 
ficitous  tokno\s  «h.  uce  proceeded  the.faults  of  that  which  it  condemns;  yet  it  may  gratify  curiosity  to  infoiTn 
it,  that  the  En^'iih  Dictionary  with  little  assistance  of  the  learned,  .tiul  without  any  patronage  of  the  great; 
not  in  the  solt  obscurities  of  ritiivment,  or  under  the  shelter  ol  academick  bowers,  but  amidst  inconvenience 
and  distraction,  in  sickui-ss  and  in  sorrow.  It  may  repress  the  triumph  of  malignant  criticism  to  obserie, 
that  if  our  language  is  not  here  fully  displaye*!.  I  have  only  faili-d  in  an  attempt  which  no  human  powers 
have  hitherto  completed.  If  the  lexicons  of  ancient  tongues,  now  imn)Utably  fixed,  and  comprised  in  a  few 
volumes,  be  yet,  after  the  toil  of  successive  ages,  inadequate  and  delusive;  if  the  aggugated  knowledge, 
and  co-operating  diligence  of  the  Itnlian  academicians  did  not  secure  thc'ui  from  the  censure  of  Beni; 
if  the  embodied  criticks  of  France,  when  fifty  y  ars  had  been  spent  upon  their  work,  were  obliged  to  change 
Its  cec»noray,  and  give  their  second  edition  another  Ibrm,  I  may  sui-ely  be  contented  without  the  praise  of 
petfec'.ion,  which  if  1  could  obtxin,  in  this  gloom  of  solitude,  what  would  it  avail  me?  I  have  pi-olracte<l  my 
work  till  most  of  those  whom  I  wished  to  please,  liave  sunk  into  the  grave,  and  success  and  miscarriage  are 
empty  sounds:  I  therefore  dismiss  it  witli  fripd  tranquillity,  having  little  to  fear  or  hope  from  censure  w 
fram  priust. 


A 


GRAMMAR 


OF  THE 


ENGLISH  TONGUE. 


GRAMMAR  which  is  the  art  efuaing 
\uords properly,  comprises  four  parts: 
Ortlios^rapliy,  Etymology,  Syntax,  and 
Prosocly. 

In  this  division  and '>rder  of  the  parts 
of  {jrainmar  I  follow  the  common  gram- 
marians, without  inquirinjj  whether  a  fit- 
ter distribution  might  not  be  found.  Ex- 
perience has  long-  shewn  this  method  to 
be  so  distinct  as  to  obviate  confusion, 
and  so  comprehensive  as  to  prevent  any 
inconvenient  omissions.     1  likewise  use 


the  terms  already  received,  and  already 
understood,  though  perhaps  others  more 
proper  might  sometimes  be  invented. 
Sylburgius,  and  other  innovators,  who»e 
new  terms  have  sunk  their  learning  into 
neglect,  have  left  sufficient  wju-ning 
against  the  trifling  ambition  of  teaching 
arts  in  a  new  language. 

Orthogrxphy  is  the  art  of  combine 
ing  letters  into  syUables,  and  syllables  inta 
-uiords.  It  therefore  teaches  previously 
the  form  and  sound  of  letters.

A  GKAiMMAR  OF  THE 


To  these  may  be  added  certain  eombi- 
natlons  ef  letters  universally  uaed  in 
printing;  a»  fi,  ff,  fl,  ffi,  ffl,  and  &c,  or 
and  per  se,  and,  fi,  ff,  fi,  ffi,  ffi,  ^c. 

Our  letters  are  commonly  r,eckoned 
twenty -four,  because  anciently  t  and  J, 
as  well  as  u  and  v,  were  expressed  by 
the  same  character;  but  as  those  letters 
which  had  always  different  powers;  have 
now  different  forms,  our  alphabet  may 
be  properly  said  to  consist  of  twenty- 
flii  letters. 

Vowels  are  five;  a,  e,  i,  o,  u. 

Such  is  th§  number  generally  received; 
but  for  i  it  is  the  practice  to  write  y  \n 
the  end  of  words,  as  thy,  holy;  before  », 
as  fron)  die,  dying;  from  beautify,  beau- 
tifying; in  the  words  aays,  days,  eyes;  and 
in  words  derived  from  the  Greek,  and 
written  originally  with  v,  as  system, 
rvt»fM.;  sympathy,  a-juTru^iiice.. 

For  w  we  otiea  write  w  after  a  vowel, 
to  make  a  dipiithong;  as  raw,  tfreiv,  view, 
Vfit),  flo'iving,  loivness. 

The  sounds  of  all  the  letters  are  various. 

In  treating  on  the  letters,  1  shall  not, 
like  some  other  grammarians,  inquire  in- 
to the  original  of  their  form  as  an  anti- 
quarian; nor  into  their  formation  and 
prolation  by  the  organs  of  speech,  as  a 
ipecbanick,  anatomist,  or  physiologist; 
nor  into  the  properties  and  gradation  of 
sounds,  or  the  elegance  or  harshness  of 
particular  combinations,  as  a  writer  of 
universal  and  transcendental  grammar. 
I  consider  the  English  alphabet  only  as 
it  is  EngUsh;  and  even  in  this  narrow 
disquisition  I  follow  the  example  of  for- 
mer grammarians,  perhaps  with  more 
reverence  than  judgment,  because  by 
writing  in  English  1  suppose  my  reader 
already  acquainted  with  the  English  lan- 
guage, and  consequently  able  to  pro- 
nounce the  letters  of  which  I  teach  the 
pronunciation;  and  because  of  sounds  in 
general  it  may  be  observed,  that  woi-ds 
are  unable  to  describe  them.  An  ac- 
count therefore  of  the  primitive  and  sim- 
ple letters  is  useless  almost  alike  to  tliose 
who  know  their  sound,  and  those  who 
know  it  not. 


OF  VOWELS- 


A  has  three  sounds,  the  slender,  open, 
and  broad. 

A  slender  is  found  in  most  words,  as 
faccy  mane;  and  in  words  ending  in  ation, 
as  creation,  salvation,  geticratio7i- 


I'he  a  slender  is  the  proper  English 
a,  called  very  justly  by  Erpenius,  in  his 
Arabick  Grammar,  a  Aiiglicum  eum  o 
mistvm,  as  having  a ,  middle  sound  be- 
tween the  open  a  and  the  e.  The  French 
have  a  similar  sound  in  the  word  pats,  and 
in  their  e  masculine. 

A  open  is  tlie  a  of  the  Italian,  or  near- 
ly resembles  it;  as  father,  rather,  congrat- 
nlate,  fancy,  glass. 

Jl  broad  resembles  the  a  of  the  Ger- 
man; as  all,  -wall,  call. 

Many  words  pronounced  with  a  broad 
were  anciently  written  with  au,  SiS  fault, 
mault;  and  we  still  say  fault,  vault.  This 
was  probably  the  Saxon  sound,  for  it  is 
yet  retained  in  the  northern  dialects,  and 
in  the  rustick  pronunciation;  as  maun  for 
man,  haund  for  hand. 

The  short  a  approaches  to  the  a  open, 
as  grass. 

The  long  a,  if  prolonged  by  e  at  the  end 
of  the  word,  is  always  slender,  as  graze, 
fame. 

A  forms  a  diphthong  only  with  »  or  y, 
and  K  or  w.  Ai  or,  ay,  as  in  plain,  -wain, 
gay,  clay,  has  only  the  sound  of  the  long 
and  slender  a,  and  differs  not  in  the  pro- 
nimciaiion  from  plane,  -wane. 

Au  or  a-w  has  the  sound  of  the  German 
a,  as  raw,  naughty. 

Ae  is  sometimes  found  in  Latin  words 
not  completely  naturalized  or  assimilated, 
but  is  no  English  diphthong,  and  is  more 
properly  expressed  by  single  e,  as  Ceaar, 
Eneas. 


E. 


E  is  the  letter  which  occurs  most  fre- 
quently in  the  English  language. 

E  is  long,  as  in  scene;  or  short,  as  in 
cellar,  separate,  celebrate,  men,  then. 

It  is  always  short  before  a  double  con- 
sonant, or  two  consonants,  as  in  vex, 
perplexity,  relent,  medlar,  reptile,  serpent, 
cellar,  cessation,  blessing,  fell,  felling, 
debt. 

E  is  always  mute  at  the  end  of  a  word, 
except  in  monosyllables  that  have  no 
other  vowel,  as  the;  or  proper  names,  as 
Penelope,  Fhcbe,  Derbe;  being  used  to 
modify  tlie  foregoing  consonant,  as  since, 
once,  hedge,  oblige,  or  to  lengthen  the 
preceding  vowel,  as  ban,  bane;  can, 
cane;  phi,  pine;  tun,  time;  rob,  robe; 
pop, pope;  fir, fire;  cur,  cure;  tub,  tube. 

Almost  all  words  which  now  terminate 

in  consonants  ended  anciently  in  e,  as 

I  year,  yeare;    wildnees,    luildnesse,    which 

I  e  probably  liai  the  forre  of  the  French  «- 


ENGLISH  LANGUAGE. 


17 


feminine,  and  constituted  a  syllable  with 
its  associate  consonant;  for  in  old  editions, 
words  are  sometimes  divided  thus  clear- 
re,  ffl-le,  hnotoled-ge-  This  e  was  per- 
liaps  for  a  time  vocal  or  silent  in  poetry, 
as  convenience  required;  but  it  has  been 
long  wholly  mute.  Camden  in  his  Ite- 
muins  calls  it  the  silent  e. 

It  does  not  always  lengthen  the  forego- 
ing vowel,  tis  £-ldve,  live,  give. 

It  has  sometimes  in  the  end  of  words  a 
sound  obscure,  and  scarcely  perceptible, 
as  open,  shapen,  shotten,  thistle,  participle, 
metre,  lucre. 

'i'his  faintness  of  sound  is  found  when 
e  separates  a  mute  from  a  liquid,  as  in 
rotten,  or  follows  a  mute  and  liquid,  as 
in  cattle. 

B  forms  a  diphthong  with  a,  as  near; 
with  i,  as  deign,  receive;  and  with  w  or 
■w,  as  neiv,  Jieiv. 

Ea  sounds  like  e  long,  as  mean:  or 
like  ee,  as  dear,  clear,  near. 

Ei  is  sounded  like  e  long,  as  seize,  per- 
ceiving. 

Eu  sounds  as  u  long  and  soft. 

E,  a,  u,  are  combined  in  beauty  and 
its  derivatives,  but  have  only  the  sound 
of  M. 

E  may  be  said  to  form  a  diphthong  by 
reduplication,  as  agree,  uleeping. 

Eo  is  found  in  yeomen,  where  it  is 
sounded  as  e  short;  and  in  people,  where 
it  is  pronounced  like  ee. 


1  has  a  sound  long  isflnc  and  short 
3Ls/in. 

That  is  eminently  observable  in  i, 
which  may  be  likewise  remarked  in  othea' 
letters,  that  the  short  sound  is  not  the 
long  sound  contracted  but  a  sound 
wholly  different. 

The  long  sound  in  monosyllables  is 
always  marked  by  the  <  final,  as  thin, 
tKine. 

I  is  often  sounded  befoi;e  r,  as  a 
short  K,-  nsjlirt,  first,  shirt. 

It  forms  a  dijihthong  on! '  with  e,  as 
Jield,  shield,  which  is  sounded  as  the 
double  ee,  except /n'enJ,  which  is  sound- 
ed as  frend. 

I  is  joined  with  eu  in  lieut  and  ew  in 
view;  which  triphthongs  are  sounded^as 
the  open  u. 


O  is  long,  as  bone,  obedient,  corroding; 
•r  short  as  block,  knock,  oblique,  loll. 

Women  is  pronounced  iviaien. 

The  short  o  has  sometimes  the  sound 
»>f  a  close  n.  as  aon,  come. 


0  coalesces  int»  a  diphthong  with  c, 
as  moan,  groan,  approach;  ea  has  the 
sound  of  0  long. 

O  is  united  to  e  in  some  words  derived 
from  the  Greek,  as  ceconomy;  but  x  be- 
ing not  an  English  diphthong,  they  are 
belter  written  as  they  are  sounded,  with 
only  e,  economy. 

With  i,  as  oil,  soil,  moil,  noisome. 

This  coalition  of  letters  seems  to  unite 
the  sounds  of  the  two  letters  as  far  as 
two  sounds  can  be  united  without  being' 
destroyed,  and  therefore  approaches 
more  nearly  than  any  combination  in  our 
tongue  to  the  notion  of  a  diphthong. 

With  o,  as  boot,  hoot,  cooler;  oo  has  the 
sound  of  the  Italian  u. 

With  u  or  TV,  as  our,  power,  Jiovicr; 
but  in  some  words  has  only  the  sound  of 
0  long,  as  in  soul,  boiul,  sotv,  groxo.  These 
different  sounds  are  used  to  distinguish 
different  significations  as  bo'u)  an  instru- 
ment for  shooting;  bo~.o  a  depression  of 
the  head;  sotv,  tlie  she  of  a  boar;  sovi,  to 
scatter  seed;  bosvl,  an  orbicular  body; 
bowl,  a  wooden  vessel. 

On  is  sometimes  pronounced  like  o  soft, 
as  court;  sometimes  like  o  short,  as  cough, 
sometimes  like  u  close,  as  could;  or  u 
open,  as  rough,  tuugh,  which  use  only- 
can  teach. 

On  is  frequently  used  in  the  last  sylla- 
ble of  words  v/hich  in  Latin  end  in  or, 
and  are  made  English,  as  honour,  labour, 
favour,  from  honor,  labor,  favor. 

bome  late  innovators  have  ejected  the 
u  witiiout  considering  that  the  last  sylla- 
ble gives  the  sound  neither  of  or  nor  ur, 
but  a  sound  between  them,  if  not  com- 
pounded of  both;  besides  that  they  are 
probably  derived  to  us  from  the  French 
nouns  in  eur,  as  honeur,  faveur. 


U. 


U  is  long  in  use,  confusion;  or  short, 
as  us,  concussion. 

It  coalesces  with,  a,  e,  i,  o;  but  has 
rather  in  these  combinations  tlie  force  of 
the  nu  consonant,  as  quaff,  quest,  quit, 
quite,  languish;  sometimes  in  ui  the  i 
loses  its  sound,  as  in  Juice.  It  is  some- 
times mute  before  a,  e,  t,  y,  as  guard, 
guest,  guise,  buy. 

U  is  followed  by  e  in  virtue,  but  the  e 
has  no  sound. 

Ue  is  sometimes  mute  at  the  end  of  a 
word,  in  imitation  of  the  French,  us  pro- 
rogue, synagogue, plague,  vague,  harangue. 


T  is  a  vowel,  which,   as  Quintilian  ob- 
serves of  one  of  the    Koman  letters,  v.e

might  want  without  inconvenience,  but 
that  we  hare  it.  It  supplies  the  place  of 
i  at  the  end  of  words,  as  i/ty,-  before  an  i 
as  dying;  and  is  commonly  retained  in 
derivative  words  where  il  was  part  of  a 
diphthong'  in  the  primitive;  as  destroy 
destroyer;  betray,  betrayed,  betrayer; 
pray,  prayer;  say,  sayer;  day,  days. 

Y  being  the  Saxon  vowel  y,  which  was 
commonly  used  where  i  is  now  put,  oc- 
curs very  frequently  in  all  old  books. 

GENERAL    RULES. 

A  vowel  in  the  beginning  or  middle 
syllable  before  two  consonants  is  com- 
monly short,  as  oppbriunity. 

In  monosyllables  a  single  vowel  before' 
a  single  consonant  is  sljor:,  as  stag,  frog. 

JVlany  is  pronounced  as  if  it  were  writ- 
ten manny. 

OF  COXSONAN'IS. 


B. 


B  has  one  unvaried  sound,  such  as  it 
obtains  in  other  languages. 

It  is  mute  in  debt,  debtor,  subtle,  doubt, 
lamb,  limb,  diimb,  thumb,  climb,  comb,  loomb. 

It  is  used  before  I  and  r,  as  biucf:,  br<j-iu,i. 

C. 

C  has  before  e  and  i  the  sound  of*;  as 
sincerely,  cenlrick,  century^  circulur,  cis- 
tern, city,  sicciiy;  before  a,  o;  ami  u,  il 
sounds  like  k,  as  calm,  concavity,  copper, 
incorporate,  curioaity,  concupiscence. 

C  might  be  omitted  in  the  language 
without  loss,  since  one  of  its  sounds 
might  be  supplied  by  s,  and  the  otiier  by 
i,  but  that  it  preserves  to  the  eye  the  el^  - 
mology  of  words,  as  face  from  fades, 
captive  from  cuptivus. 

Ch  has  a  sound  which  is  analised  into 
tsh,  as  churdi,  chin,  crutcli.  it  is  the 
same  sound  which  the  Italians  give  to  the 
c  sim|;l6  before  i  and  e,  as  cittu,  cerro. 

C'k  is  sounded  like  ^  in  woi'ds  derived 
from  the  Greek,  as  chymist,  scheme,  chol- 
er.  Arch  is  commonly  sounded  ark  be- 
fore a  vowel,  as  archangel,  a:  id  with  llie 
English  sound  of  ch  before  a  consonant, 
is  archbishop. 

Ch,  in  some  French  words  not  yet  as- 
similated, sound  like  sh,  as  machine, 
chaise. 

C,  having  no  determinate  sound,  ac- 
cording to  English  orlhogvapliy,  never 
<  lids  a  word;  Iherefoie  we  write  stick, 
block,  wliich  were,  originally  siicke,  blocks. 
Ill  such  word$  C  is  now  mute. 

it  is  used  before  I  and  r,  as  clock,  cross. 


D. 

X>  is  uniform  in  its  sound,  as  death, 
diligent. 

It  is  used  before  r,  as  draw,  dross;  and 
w  as  dwell. 

F. 

F,  though,  having  a  name  beginning 
with  a  vowel,  it  is  numbt-red  by  the 
grammarians  among  the  semivowels,  yet 
has  this  quality  of  a  mute,  that  it  is  com- 
modiously  sounded  before  a  liquid,  as 
jiask,  Jy,  freckle.  It  has  an  unvariable 
sound,  except  that  of  is  sometimes  spok- 
en nearly  as  ov. 

G.  ' 

G  has  two  sounds,  one  hard,  as  in  ga, 
go,  gun;  the  oilier  soft,  as  in  £em,  giurit. 

At  the  end  of  a  word  it  is  always  hard, 
as  ring,  snug,  song,  frog. 

Before  e  and  /  the  sound  is  uncertain. 

G  before  e  is  soft,  as  gem,  generation, 
except  in  gear,  geld,  geese,  get,  geiugrw, 
and  derivatives  from  words  ending  in  g^ 
as  singing,  stronger,  and  g'enerally  before 
er  at  the  end  of  words,  asjinger. 

G  is  mute  before  n,  as  gnash,  sign,  fo- 
reign. 

G  before  i  is  hard  as  gixye,  except  in^j- 
ant,^giganiick,  gibbet,  gibe,  ^ib'eis,  giles, 
gill,  gillijloiuer,  gin,  ginger,  gingle,  ,  to 
whjch  may  be  added  i^gypt  and  gypsy. 

Gh  in  the  beginning  of  a  word  has  tlie 
sound  of  the  hard  g,  as  ghostly;  in  the 
middle,  and  sometimes  at  the  end,  it  is 
quite  silent,  as  though,  right,  sought,  spok- 
en tho',  rite,  soute. 

It  lias  often  at  the  end  the  sound  of/,  as 
laugh;  whence  *to«^/ifer  retains  the  same 
sound  ill  the  mitAdle;  cough,  trough,  sough, 
tough,  enough,  slough. 

It  is  not  to  be  doubted,  but  that  in  the 
original  pi-onunciation  gh  had  the  force 
of  a  consonant  deeply  guttural,  which  is 
still  continuedjaniung  the  Scotch. 

G  is  used  belV.re  h,  I,  and  r. 
\  '■' 

•■jb:\L  H 
ihu. 

^is  a  note  of  aspiration,  and  shows 
that  the  follow ^«g's  vowel  must  be  pro- 
nounced with  ijt  strong  emission  of  the 
breath,  as  hat,  horse. 

It  seldom  begins  any  but  the  first  syl- 
lable; in  whicli  il  is  always  sounded  with 
a  full  breaih,  except  in  huir,  herb,  holster, 
honour,  humble,  honest,  humour,  and  iheir 
derivatives. 

It  sometimes  begins  middle  or  final 
syllables  in  words  compounded,  as  block- 
head: or  derived  from  the  Latin,  as  com- 
prehended. 


KNGMSH  Ly^NGUAGE. 


1:1 


J  consonant  sound^s  uniformly  like  the 
soft  "•,  ami  is  therefore  a  letter  useless, 
except  in  etymolog'y,  as  ejaculation,  jest- 
er,  jocund,  jnice. 

K. 

K  has  the  sound  of  hard  c,  and  is  used 
before  e  and  *,  wliere,  according  to  Vawt,- 
lisli  analogy,  c  woidd  be  soft,  as  kept, 
king,  skirts,  skeptick,  for  so  it  should  be 
written,  not  sceptick,  because  sc  is  sound- 
ed like-  s,  as  in  sce7ie. 

It  is  used  before  n,  as  knell,  knot,  but 
totally  loses  its  sound  in  modern  pronun- 
ciation. 

A"  is  never  double;  but  c  is  used  before 
it  to  shorten  the  vowel  by  a  double  con- 
sonant, as  cockle,  pickle. 


L  has  in  the  English  the  same  liquid 
sound  as  in  other  languages. 

The  custom  is  to  double  the  I  at  the 
end  of  monosyllables,  a^a  kill,  inill,  full. 
These  words  were  originally  written  kille, 
Tsille,  fulle,  and  when  the  e  first  grew  si- 
lent, and  was  afterwards  omitted,  the  II 
was  retained,  to  give  force,  according  to 
the  analogy  of  our  language,  to  the  fore- 
going vowel. 

Jj  is  sometimes  mute.,  as  in  calf,  half, 
halves,  calves,  could,  would,  should,  psalm, 
ta  Ik,  salmon,  falcon . 

The  Saxons,  who  delighted  in  guttural 
sounds,  sometimes  aspirated  the  /at  the 
beginning  of  words,  as  hiap  a  loaf,  or 
bread;  iilaj:o;\»,  a  lord;  but  this  pronunci- 
ation is  now  disused. 

Le  at  the  end  of  words  is  pronounced 
like  a  weak  el,  in  which  the  e  is  almost 
mute,  as  table,  shuttle. 

M. 

J/has  always  the  samei  sound,  as  mur- 
mur, momimentai. 

N. 

N  has  always  the  same  sound,  as  noble, 
manners. 

JV'\s  sometimes  mute  after  nt,  as  damn, 
condfian,  hymn. 


.  P  has  always  the  same  sotind,  which 
the  Welsh  and  Germans  confound  witli 
B. 

F  is  sometimes  mute,   as  in  psalm  and 
between  vi  and  t,  as  tempt. 


Ph  is  uscfl  for  /"in  words  derived  from 
the  Greek,  as  philo-opher,  philanthropy, 
Philip. 

Q. 

Q  as  in  other  languages  is  always  fol- 
lowed by  n,  and  has  a  sound  wiiich  our 
Saxon  ancestors  wt-ll  expressed  by  cp,  civ, 
as  quadrant,  queen,  equestrian,  quilt,  inqui- 
ry, quire,  quotidian.  Qu  is  never  followed 
by  u. 

Qu  is  sometimes  sounded,  in  words 
derived  from  the  French,  like  k,  as  con- 
quer, liquor,  risque,  chequer. 


II. 


R  has  the  same  rough,  snarling  sound 
as  in  other  tongues. 

The  Saxons  used  often  to  put  A  before 
it,  as   before  /  at  tlie  betrmning  of  words. 

Rh  is  used  in  words  derived  from  the 
Greek,  as  myrrh,  myrrhine,  cattarhous, 
rheum,  rheumutick,  rhyme. 

Be,  at  the  end  of  some  words  derived 
from  the  Latin  or  French,  is  pronoun- 
ced like  a  weak  er,  as  theatre,  sepulchre. 

S. 

S  nas  a  hissing  sound,  as  sibilatitn,  w- 
ter. 

A  single  *  seldom  ends  any  word,  ex- 
cept in  the  third  person  of  verbs,  as  loves, 
grov)ii;  and  the  plurals  of  noans,  as  trees, 
bushes,  distresses;  the  pronouns  this,  his, 
ours,  yours,  us;  the  adverb  thug;  and 
word!>  derived  from  Latin,  as  rebus,  sur- 
plus, the  close  being  alwa3's  either  in  se 
as  house,  hor.<ie,  or  in  ss,  as  grass,  dress, 
bliss,  less,  anciently  ffrasse,  dresse. 

S  single,  at  the  end  of  words,  has  a. 
grosser  soimd,  like  that  of  z,  as  trees,  eyes, 
except  this,  thus,  us,  rebus,  surplus. 

It  sounds  like  z  before  ion  if  a  vowel 
goes  before,  as  intrusion;  and  like  s,  if  it 
follows  a  consonant,  as  conversion. 

It  sounds  like  z  before  e  mtite,  as  re- 
fuse, and  before  y  final,  as  rosy;  and  in 
those  words  bosom,  desire,  ix'isdom,  prison, 
prisoner,  present,  present,  damsel,  casement. 

It  is  the  peculiar  t|uality  of  «  that  it 
may  be  sounded  before  all  consonants,  ex- 
cept X  and  z  in  which  s  is  comprised,  x 
being  only  ks,  and  z,  a  hard  or  gross  s. 
This  4  is  therefore  termed  by  grammari- 
ans su<r  potestatis  litera;  the  reason  of 
which  the  learned  Dr.  Clarke  erroneously 
supposed  to  be,  that  in  so  ne  words  it 
might  be  doubled  at  pleasure.  Thus  we 
find  in  several  languages:  ^,3i\vu/ui,  scatter, 
sdegno,  sdrucciolo,  sfavellare,  rfiy^,  agom- 
brare,    Bt^ranare,   shake,   slumber,    amell.

A  GRAMMAR  OF  THE 


snipe,  space,  splendour,  spring,  squeeze, 
shrew,  step,  strength,  stramen,  ttripe,  sven- 
tura,  swell. 

S  is  mute  In  isle,  island,   demesne,  vis- 
count. 


T  has  its  customary  sound,  as  take, 
temptation. 

Ti  before  a  vowel  has  the  sound  of «, 
as  salvation,  except  an  *  g-oes  before,  as 
question,  excepting-  likewise  derivatives 
from  words  ending  m  ty,  as  mighty,  might- 
ier. 

Th  has  two  sounds;  the  one  soft,  as 
thus,  -whether;  the  other  hard,  as  tfHng; 
think.  The  sound  is  soft  in  these  words, 
then,  thence,  and  there,  with  their  deriv- 
atives and  compounds,  and  in  that,  these, 
thou,  thee,  thy,  thine,  their,  they,  this,  those, 
them,  though,  thus,-  and  in  all  words  be- 
tween two  vowels  as  father,  -whether,-  and 
between  r  and  a  vowel,  as  burthen. 

In  other  words  it  is  hard,  as  thick,  thun- 
der, faith,  faithful.  Where  it  is  softened 
at  the  end  of  a  word,  an  e  silent  must 
be  added;  as  breath,  breathe,  cloth,  clothe. 

-V. 

V  has  a  sound  of  near  affinity  to  that 
ef/,  vain,  vanity. 

From /in  the  Islandick  alphabet,  vis 
only  distinguished  by  a  diacritical  point. 

W. 

Of  w,  which  in  diphthongs  is  often  an 
undoubted  vowel,  some  grammarians 
have  doubted  whether  it  ever  be  a  conso- 
nant; and  not  rather,  as  it  is  called,  a 
double  u  or  ou,  as  ivater  may  be  resolved 
into  ouater;  but  letters  of  the  same  sound 
are  always  reckoned  consonants  in  other 
alphabets;  and  it  may  be  observed,  that 
'iv  follows  a  vowel  without  any  hiatus  or 
difficulty  of  utterance,  as  frosty  'winter. 

IVh  has  a  sound  accounted  pecuhar  to 
the  English  which  the  Saxons  better  ex- 
pressed by  hp,  h-w,  as  -what,  whence,  whi- 
ting; in  ivhsre  only,  and  sometimes  in 
■ivholesome,  ivh  is  sounded  like  a  simple  h. 

X, 

X  begins  n©  English  word;  it  has  the 
sound  of  i«,  as  axle,  extraneous. 

Y. 

Y,  when  it  follows  a  consonant,  is  a 
vowel;  when  it  precedes  either  a  vowel 
•r  diphthong,  it  is  a  consonant,  as  ye, 
yung.    It  is  thought  by  some  to  be  in 


all  cases  a  vowel.  But  it  may  be  observ- 
ed of  J/  as  of  w,  that  it  follows  si  vowel 
without  any  hiatus,  as  rosy  youth. 

The  chief  argument  by  which  w  and  y 
.ippear  to  be  always  vowels  is,  that  the 
sounds  which  they  are  supposed  to  have  as 
consonants,  cannot  be  uttered  after  a  vow- 
el, like  that  of  all  other  consonants;  thus 
we  say,  tu,  ut;  do,  odd;  but  in  -u>ed,  deru, 
the  two  sounds  of  w  have  no  resemblance 
to  each  other. 


Z  begins  no  word  originally  English; 
it  has  the  sound  as  its  name  tzzard  or  * 
hard  expresses,  of  an  s  uttered  with  clo- 
ser compression  of  the  palate  by  the 
tongue,  a.s  freeze,  froze. 

In  orthography  1  have  sujjposed  or^Ao- 
epy,  or  just  utterance  of  ivords,  to  be  in- 
cluded; orthography  being  only  the  art 
of  expressing  certain  sounds  by  proper 
characters.  I  have  therefore  observed 
in  what  words  any  of  the  letters  are  mute. 
Most  of  the  writers  of  English  gram- 
mar have  given  long  tables  of  words 
pronounced  otherwise  than  they  are  writ- 
ten, and  seem  not  sufficiently  to  have 
considered,  that  of  the  English  as  of  all 
living  tongues,  there  is  a  double  pronun- 
ciation, one  cursory  and  colloquial,  the 
other  regular  and  solemn.  The  cursory 
pronunciation  is  always  vague  and  uncer- 
tain, being  made  different  in  different 
mouths  by  negligence,  unskilfulness  or 
afl^ectation.  The  solemn  pronunciation, 
tliough  by  no  means  immutable  and  per- 
manent,  is  yet  always  less  remote  from 
the  orthography,  and  less  liable  to  capri- 
cious innovation.  They  have  however 
generally  formed  their  tables  according 
to  the  cursory  speech  of  those  with  whom 
they  happened  to  converse;  and  conclu- 
ding that  the  whole  nation  combines  to 
vitiate  language  in  one  manner,  have  oft- 
en established  the  jargon  of  the  lowest  of 
the  people  as  the  model  of  speech. 

For  pronunciation  the  best  general  rule 
is,  to  consider  those  as  the  most  elegant 
speakers,  who  deviate  least  from  the  writ- 
ten words. 

There  have  been  many  schemes  offer- 
ed for  tlie  emendation  and  settlement  of 
our  orthography,  which  like  that  of  other 
nations,  being  formed  by  cJiance,  or  ac- 
cording to  the  fancy  of  the  earliest  wri- 
ters in  rude  ages,  was  at  first  very  vari- 
ous and  uncert  in,  and  is  yet  sufficiently 
irregular.  Of  the.->e  reformers  some 
have  endeavoured  to  accommodate  or- 
thography better  to  the  pronunciation, 
without  considering  that  this  Is  to  mea. 
sure  by  a  shadow,  to  take  that  for  a  ni«del

or  staiulard  which  is  changinpf  while  they 
apply  it.  Otliers  less  absurdly  indeed, 
but  with  equal  unlikelihood  of  success, 
have  endeavoured  to  proportion  the  num- 
ber of  letters  to  that  of  sounds,  that  cve- 
v\  sound  ma}'  have  its  own  character,  and 
every  character  a  single  sound.  Such 
Avould  be  the  ortliograpliy  of  a  new  lan- 
guage to  be  formed  by  a  synod  of  gram- 
marians upon  principles  of  science.  But 
who  can  iiope  to  prevail  on  nations  to 
change  their  practice,  and  make  all  their 
old  books  useless;  or  what  advantage 
would  a  new  orthograpliy  procure  eqviiv- 
alent  to  the  confusion  and  perplexity  of 
such  an  alteration. 

Some  of  these  schemes  I  shall  howev- 
er exliibit,  which  may  be  used  accoi'ding 
to  the  diversities  of  genius,  as  a  guide 
to  reformers  or  terrour  to  innovators. 

One  of  the  first  who  proposed  a  scheme 
of  regular  orthography  was  Sir  Thomas 
Smith,  secretary  of  state  to  Queen  Eliz- 
abeth, a  man  of  real  learning,  and  much 
practised  in  grammatical  disquisitions. 
Had  he  written  the  following  lines  ac- 
cording to  his  scheme,  they  would  have 
appeared  thus: 
At  length    Erasmus,  that  great  injur'd 

name. 
The    glory    of  the  priesthood,  and   the 

shame, 
Stemm'd  the  wild  torrent  of  a  barbarous 

age. 
And  drove    those    holy  vandals  o/F  the 

stage. 

At  lengs  Erasmus,  gat  gret  inSurd  nam. 
The  glori  of  ise  presthud  and  »e  zam, 
Stemmd  se  twld  torrent  of  a  barb'rous 

And  drove  50s  hdlV  Vandals  off  ae  stas. 

After  him  another  mode  of  writing  was 
offered  by  Dr.  Gill,  the  celebrated  mas- 
ter of  St.  Paul's  school  in  London;  which 
1  cannot  represent  exactly  for  want  oi' 
types,  but  will  approach  as  nearly  as  1 
can  by  means  of  characters  now  in  use, 
so  as  to  make  it  understood,  exhibiting 
two  stanzas  of  Spenser  in  the  relormed 
ortliography. 

Spenser,  book  iii.  canto  5. 

Unthankful  wretch,    said  he,  is  tltis  the 

meed, 
>Vith   which  her  sovereign  mercy  thou 

dost  quite? 
Thy  life  she  saved  by  lier  gracious  deed; 
Kut  thou  dost   ween  with  viUanous  de-

To  blot  her  honour  and  her  heavenly  light. 

Die,  rather  die,  than  so  disloyally 

Deem  of  her  high  desert,  or  seem  so  light. 

Fair  death  it  is  to  shun  more  shame;  then 
die. 

Die,  rather  die,  than  ever  love  disloyally. 
But  if  to  love  disloyalty  it  be, 

Shall  I  then  hate  her  that  from  deathe»

Me  brought?  ah!  far  be  such  reptoach 
from  me. 

What  can  I  less  do,  than  her  love  there-

Sith  I  her  due  reward  cannot  restore? 

Die,  rather  die,   and  dying  do  her  serve. 

Dying  her  serve  and  living  her  adore. 

Thy  life  she  gave,  thy  life  she  doth  de- 
serve: 

Die,  rather  die,  than  ever  from  her  ser- 
vice swerve.

Dr.  Gill  was  followed  by  Charles  But- 
ler, a  man  who  did  not  want  an  under- 
standing which  might  have  qualified  him 
for  better  employment.  He  seems  to 
have  been  more  sanguine  than  his  prede- 
cessors, for  he  printed  his  book  accord- 
ing to  his  own  scheme:  which  the  follow- 
ing specimen  will  make  easily  under- 
stood.

of  Bees.     1634. 

In  the  time  of  Cliarles  I.  there  was  a 
very  prevalent  inclination  to  change  the 
orthography;  as  appears  among  otlier 
books  in  such  editions  of  the  works  of 
Milton  as  were  ])ublished  by  himself.  Of 
these  reformers  every  man  had  his  own 
scheme;  but  tliey  agreed  in  one  general 
design  of  accommodating  the  letters  to 
the  "pronunciation,  by  ejecting  such  as 
thev  thought  superfluous.  Some  of  them 
would  have  written  these  lines  thus: 

-Alltheerth 


Shall  then  be  Paradis,  far  happier  place 
Than  this  of  Eden,  and  far  happier  dais. 

Bishop  Wilkins  afterwards,  in  his 
great  work  of  tlie  philosopliical  language, 
proposed  witliout  expecting  to  be  follow- 
ed, a  regular  ortltograjjiy;  by  which  the 
Lord's  prayer  is  to  be  written  thus; 

Yar  Fiidlier  lixitsh  art  in  heven,  halloed 
bi  dhyi  n«m,  dliyi  cingdym  cym,  dhyi 
aill  bi  dyn  in  erth  as  it  is  in  h^ven,  &c. 

"We  have  since  liad  no  general  reform- 
ers; but  some  ingenious  men  have  en- 
deavoured ta  deserve  well  of  tlieir  coun- 


try, by  writing  honor  and  labor  for  fion, 
our  and  labour,  red  for  read  in  the  preter- 
tense,  sais  for  saya,  repete  for  repeat,  ej-- 
plane,  for  eo-plaiii,  or  declame,  ibr  declaim. 
Of  these,  it  may  be  said,  that  as  they 
have  done  no  good  they  have  done  little 
harm;  both  because  they  have  innova  ed 
httle,  and  because  few  have  followed  them. 
The  English  language,  lias  properly 
no  dialects;  the  sty-le  of  writers  has  no 
professed  diversity  in  the  use  of  words 
or  of  their  flexions  and  terminations,  nor 
difters  but  by  different  degrees  ot  skill 
or  care.  Tlie  oral  diction  is  uniform  in 
no  spacious  country,  but  has  less  varia- 
tion in  England  than  in  most  other  na- 
tions of  equal  extent.  The  language  of 
the  northern  countiesretains  many  words 
now  out  of  use,  but  whicli  are  common- 
ly of  tiie  genuine  Teutonick  race,  and  is 
uttered  witii  a  pronunciation  whicli  now 
seems  harsh  and  rough,  but  was  proba- 
bly used  by  our  ancestors.  The  north- 
ern speech  is  therefore  not  barbarous  but 
obsolete.  Tlie  speech  in  the  western 
provinces  seems  to  differ  from  the  gene- 
ral diction  ratlier  by  a  depi-aved  pronun- 
ciation, than  by  any  real  difference  which 
letters  would  express. 

ETYMOLOGY. 

ETYMOLOGY  teaches  the  deduction  of 
one  word  from  another,  and  the  various 
modiflcations  by  which  the  sense  of 
tlie  same  word  is  diversified;  as  horse, 
horses;  I  love,  I  loved. 

OF  THE  ARTICLE. 

The  English  have  two  articles,  an,  or 
a,  and  the. 

An,  a. 

.4  has  an  indefinite  signification,  and 
means  one,  with  some  reference  to  more; 
as  This  is  a  good  book,  that  is,  one  among 
the  books  that  are  good.  He  ivas  killed  by 
a  sword,  that  is,  so7ne  stvord.  This  is  a 
better  book  for  a  man  than  a  boy,  that  is, 
/;;;•  one  of  those  that  are  men  than  one  of 
thnse  that  arc  boys.  .In  army  might  enter 
-Mthout  resistance,  that  is,  any  army. 

In  the  senses  in  which  we  use  a  or  an 
in  the  singular,  we  speak  in  the  plural 
without  an  article;  as  these  are  good  books. 

1  have  made  an  the  original  article, 
because  it  is  only  the  Saxon  an,  or  a:n, 
one,  apjilied  to  a  new  use,  as  the  German 
«■?/.,  and  the  French  un;  the  n  being  cut 
off'  before  a  consonant  in  the  speed  of  ut- 
terance.

OF  NOUXS  SUBSTANTIVES. 

■  The  relation  of  English  nouns  to  words 
going  before  or  following  are  not  express- 
ed by  cases,  or  changes  of  termination, 
but  as  in  most  of  the  other  l'",uropean 
languages  by  prepositions,  unless  we 
may  be  said  to  have  a  genitive  case. 

Singular. 

Norn.  Magister,  a  Jllaster,  the  Master. 
Gen.  Magistri,  of  a  Master,  of  the  Master, 
or  Masters,  the  .Masters. 
Dat.  Magistro,  to  a  Master,  to  the  Master. 
Ace.  Magistrum,  a  .Master,  the  Master. 
Voc.  Magister,  Master,  O  Master. 

Abl.  Magistro,    from  a  .Master,  from  the 
Mabtcr. 


riural, 

Nom.  Magistri,         blasters,  the  Masters. 
Gen.    Magistrorum,  of   Masters,  of  the 

Masters. 
Dat.  Magistris,  to  Masters,  to  the  Masters. 
Ace.  Magistros,     Masters,    the    Masters. 
Voc.  Magistri,       Masters,   O  Masters. 
Abl.  Magistris,      from  Masters,  from  the 

Masters. 
Our  nouns  are   therefore  only  declined 
thus: 

Master,   Gen.   Master's.     Plur.  Masters. 
Scholar,  Gen.  Scholar's.    PZm;\  Scholars. 

These  genitives  are  always  wi-itten 
with  a  mark  of  elision,  master''s,  schol- 
ar s,  according  to  an  opinion  long  receiv- 
ed, that  the  's  is  a  contraction  of  his,  as 
the  soldier^s  valour,  for  the  soldier  his  val- 
our: but  this  cannot  be  the  true  original, 
because  's  is  put  to  female  nouns,  ffo- 
man'a  beatiti/,-  the  Virgin's  delicacy.- 
Haughty  Juno's  unrelentimr  hate,-  and  col- 
lective nouns,  as  Women's  passions;  the 
rabble's  insolence;  the  midtitude's  folly;  in 
all  tliese  cases  it  is  apparent  that  his  can- 
not be  understood.  We  say  likewise  the 
fuundcvtion's  strength,  the  diamond's  lustre, 
the  winter's  severity;  but  in  tliese  cases 
his  may  be  understood,  he  and  his  having 
formerly  been  applied  to  neuters  in  the 
place  now  supplied  by  it  and  its. 

The  learned,  the  sagacious  WalUs,  to 
whom  every  English  grammarian  owes  a 
tribute  of  i-everence,  calls  this  modifica- 
tion of  the  noun  an  «f//ec;/T'e  possessive;  I 
think  with  no  more  propriety  than  he  might 
have  applied  the  same  to  the  genitive  in 
erjuitum  deans,  TroJ.e  oris,  or  any  other 
Latin  genitive.  Dr!  Lowth  on  the  other 
part,  supposes  tiie  possessive  pronouns 
mine  and  thine  to  be  genitive  cases. 

This  termination  of  the  noun  seems  to 
constitute  a  real  genitive  indicating  pos- 
session. It  is  derived  to  us  from  those 
who  dcclind  j-miS,  a  smith;  Gen.  j-mibLj-,  "./' 
a  smith;  Plur.  j-uii^i.].,  or,  j-imS.ip,  smiths; 
and  so  in  two  other  of  their  seven  declen- 
sions. 

It  is  a  farther  confirmation  of  this  opin- 
ion tliat  in  tiie  old  poets  both  the  geni- 
tive and  plural,  were  longer  by  a  syllable 
than  the  original  \vt)rd  hnitis,  for  knight's^ 
in  Chaucer;  leavis,  fijr  leaves,  in  Spensor. 

When  a  word  ends  in  s,  the  genitive 
may  be  the  same  with  the  nominative,  as 
Venus  Temple. 

The  plural  is  formed  by  adding  s,  as 
table,  tables;  fy,fies;  sister,  sisters:  -wood, 
vjoods;  or  es  where  *  could  not  otherwise 
be  sounded,  as  after  ch,  s,  sh,  x,  z;  after 


24 


A  GRA.MMAR  OF  THE 


c  sounded  like  «,  and^  like  /,•  the  mute 
e  is  vocal  before  s,  as  lance,  lances,-  out- 
rage, outrages. 

The  formation  of  the  plural  and  geni- 
tive singular  is  the  same. 

A  ^e\v  words  yet  make  the  plural  in?!, 

as  men,  tvomen,  oxen,  s-cuine,  and  more  an- 

■  ciently  eyen  and   s/ioon.     This  formation 

is  that  w  hich    generally  prevails  in   the 

Teutoiiick  dialects. 

Words  that  end  in/,  commonly  form 
their  plural  by  ves,  as  loaf,  loaves;  calf, 
calves. 

Except  a  few,  mriff",  muffs;  chief,  chiefs. 
So  hoof,  I'oof,  proof,  relief,  mischief,  puff, 
cuff,  ihvarf,  handkerchief,  grief 

Irregular  plurals  are  teeth,  from  tooth, 
lice,  from  louse,  mice,  from  mouse,  geese, 
i'tom  goose,  feet  from  Joot,  dice  ivom  die, 
pe7ice  from  penmj,  bretliren  from  brother, 
children  from  child. 

Plurals  ending  in  s  have  for  the  most 
part  no  genitives;  but  we  say,  Womens 
excellencies,  and  Weigh  the  mens  tjUs 
against  the  ladies  hairs. 

Dr.  Wallis  tliinks  the  Lord's  house  m.ay 
be  said  for  the  house  of  Lord's,  but  such 
phrases  are  not  now  in  use;  and  surely 
an  English  ear  rebels  against  them. 
They  would  commonly  produce  a  trou- 
blesome ambiguity,  as  the  Lord's  house 
may  be  the  hoicse  of  Lords  or  t/ie  house  of 
a  Lord.  Besides  that  the  mark  of  elis- 
ion is  improjjer,  for  in  the  Lords'  house 
nothing  is  cut  off. 

Some.  English  substantives  like  those 
of  many  otlier  languages,  change  tiieir 
termination  as  they  express  different 
sexes;  as  prince,  princess;  actor,  actress; 
lion,  lioness;  hero,  heroine.  To  these  men- 
tioned by  Dr.  Lowth  may  be  added  arbi- 
iress,  poetess,  chauntress,  duchess,  tigress, 
governess,  tutorress,  peeress,  aiit/toress, 
iraytress,  and  perhaps  others.  (Jfthe.se 
variable  terminations  we  have  onl}-  a  suffi- 
cient number  to  make  us  feel  our  want, 
for  when  we  say  of  a  woman  that  she  is  a 
philosopher,  an  usLrouomer,  a  builder,  a 
■iveavcr,  a  dancer,  we  perceive  an  impro- 
priety in  the  termination  which  we  can- 
not avoid;  but  we  can  say  that  she  is  an 
architect,  a  botanist,  a  student,  because 
tliese  terminations  have  not  annexed  to 
Ihcm  the  notion  of  sex.  In  words  which 
the  necessities  of  life  arc  often  requiring, 
the  sex  is  distingiiishf-d  not  by  different 
terminations  but  by  dliferent  names,  as  a 
bull,  a  co-ai,  a  horse,  a  mure;  cquus,  equa; 
a  cock,  a  hen;  and  sometimes  by  pronouns 
piefixed,  as  u  \iQ-goat,  a  fA;v.-g«iit. 


OF  ADJECTIVES. 

Adjectives  in  the  English  lana^uage  are 
wholly  indeclinable;  having  neither  case, 
gender,  nor  number,  and  being  added  to 
substantives  in  all  relations  without  any 
change;  as  a  good  -woman,  good  -women,  oj 
a  good 'woman,  a  good  man,  good  men,  of 
good  men. 

The   Comparison  of  Adjectives, 

The  comparative  degree  of  adjectives 
is  formed  by  adding  er,  the  superlative 
by  adding  est,  to  the  positive;  as  fair, 
fairer,  faircs?;  lovely,  lovelit^r,  loveliest; 
s-iveet,  sweeter,  sweetest;  lo-w,  lower,  low- 
est;  high,  higher,  highest. 

Some  words  are  irregularly  compared; 
as  (.-ood,  better,  best;  bad,  worse,  luorst;  little, 
less,  least;  near,  nearer,  next;  much,  more, 
most;  many,  (for  moe),  more,  (for  tnoer"), 
most,  (for  moest);  late,  later,  latest,  or  last. 

Some  comparatives  form  a  superlative 
by  adding  7nost,  as  nether,  nethermost; 
outer,  outermost;  under,  undermost;  up- 
per, uppermost;  fore,  former,  foremost. 

„}[ost  is  sometimes  added  to  a  substan- 
tive, as  topmost,  south  most. 

Many  adjectives  do  not  admit  of  com- 
parison by  terminations,  and  are  only 
compared  by  more  and  most,  as  benevolent, 
more  benevolent,   most  benevolent. 

All  adjectives  may  be  compared  by 
more  and  most,  even  when  they  have  com- 
paratives and  superlatives  regularly  form- 
ed; .Mi  fair,  fairer,  or  more  fair,  fairest,  or 
most  fair. 

In  adjeci.ives<tl>at  admit  a  regular  com- 
parison, the  comparative  more  is  oftener 
used  than  the  su}'>erlative  most,  as  more 
fair  is  oftener  written  for  fairer,  than 
mo.it  fair  i'uv  fairest. 

The  comparison  of  adjectives  is  very 
uncertain;  and  being  miicli  regulated  by 
commodiousnes.s  of  utterance,  or  agrce- 
ahlcness  of  sound,  is  not  easily  reduced 
to  rules. 

iionosyllables  are  commonly  compar- 
ed. 

Polysyllables  or  words  of  more  tlian  two 
syllables,  are  seldom  compared  other- 
wise than  by  more  and  most,  as  deplora- 
ble, more  deplorable,  most  deplorable. 

Dyssyllables  are  seldom  compared  if 
they  terminate  in  some,  as  fulsome,  toil- 
some; in  ful,  as  careful,  spleenfid,  dread- 
ful; in  iiLg,  as  trifling,  charming;  in  ous, 
as  porous;  in  less,  as  careless,  harmless;  iu 
ed,  as  -wretched;  in  id,  as  candid;  in  al,  as 
■  mortal;  in  ent,   as  recent,  fervent;  in  ain,

Some  comparatives  antl  superlatives 
are  yet  found  in  good  writers  formed 
without  regard  to  the  foregoing'  rules; 
but  in  a  language  subjected  to  so  little 
and  so  lately  to  grammar,  such  anoma-

The  termination  in  ish  may  be  account- 
ed in  some  sort  ti  degree  of  comparison, 


by  which  the  signification  is  dimini.shed 
below  the  positive,  as  black,  blackish,  or 
rending  to  blackness;  .9a/;,  saltish,  or  hav- 
ing a  little  taste  of  salt:  tliey  therefore 
admit  no  comparison.  This  termination 
is  seldom  added  but  to  words  expressi.ig 
sensible  qualitiL's,  nor  often  to  words  of 
above  one  syllable,  and  is  scarcely  used  in 
the  solemn  or  sublime  style. 

OF  PRONOUNS. 

Pronouns,  in  the  English  language, 
are,  /,  thou,  he,  with  to  tiieir  plurals, 
we,  ye,  they;  it,  who,  -which,  -what,

For  it  the  practice  of  ancient  writers 
was  to  use  he,  and  for  its,  his. 

The  possessive  pronouns,  like  other 
adjectives,  are  without  cases  or  change  of 
termination. 

The  possessive  of  the  first  person  is 
my,  mine,  our,  ours,-  of  tiie  second,  thy, 
thine,  your,  yours;  of  tlie  tliird,  from  he, 
his,  fi'oin  she,  her,  and  hers,  and  in  the 
plural,  their,  theirs,  for  both  sexes. 

Ours,  yours,  hers,  theirs,  are  used  when 
the  substantives  preceding  is  separa- 
led  by  a  verb,  as,  'JViesc  are  our  boo/ks. 
These  books  are  ours.  Your  children  ex-

fore a  vowel,  as  7nine  amiable  Imbi;  which

are  referred  to  a  substantive  preceding', 
as,  t/iif  house  is  larg-cr  than  mine,  but  ;«'/ 
garden  is  more  spacious  than  thine. 

Their  and  theirs,  arc  the  possessives 
likewise  of  theif,  when  titru  is  the  phu-:d

Whether  is  only  used  in  the  nominative,

being  applied  only  to  one  of  a  number, 
commonly  to  one  of  two,  as  Whether  of 
these  is  left  I  knoiv  not,  Whether  skull  I

and  continued  in  use.  The  rest  seem  to 
be  ])assing  by  degrees  into  neglect, 
thougli  proper,  usel'ul,  and  analogous. 
Ihey  are  referred  botli  to  singular  and 
plural  antecedents. 

There  are  two  more  words  used  only 
in  conjunction  with  pronouns,  oivn  and 
self 

O-cvii  is  added  to  possessives,  both  sin- 
gular and  plural,  as  my  own  hand,  our 
own  house.  It  is  emphatical,  and  implies 
a  silent  contrariety  or  opposition;  as,  / 
live  in  nui  oiun  house,  tliat  is,  not  in  a  hired- 
house.  This  I  did  -ivith  my  ovon  hand,  that 
is,  withoxct  help,  or  not  by  proxy. 

Self  IS  added  to  possessives,  as  myself, 
yourselves;  and  sometimes  to  personal 
pronouns,  as  himself,  itself,  themselves.  It 
then,  like  own,  expresses  emphasis  and 
o])position,  as  /  did  this  myself,  that  is, 
not  another,-  or  it  forms  a  reciprocal  pro- 
noun, as  We  hurt  ourselves  by  vain  rage. 

Himself,  itself,  theinseh<es,  are  supposed  ■ 
by  Wallis  to  be  put  by  corruption,  for  his 
self,  it  self,  tlieir  selves,-  so  that  self,  is  al- 
waj's  a  substantive.  This  seems  justly 
observed,  for  we  say,  He  came  himself; 
Himself  shall  do  this ;  where  himself  can- 
not be  an  accusative. 

OF  THE  VEUB. 

English  verbs  are  active,  as  I  love;  o» 
neuter,  as,  /  languish.  The  neuters  arc 
formed  like  the  actives. 

Most  verl)S  signifying  action  may  like- 
wise signify  condition  or  habit,  and  be- 
come neuters,  as  /  love,  I  am  in  love; 
/  strike,  I  am  now  striking. 

Verbs  have  only  two  tenses  inflected 
in  their  terminations,  the  present,  and

The  passive  is  formed  by  the  addition 
of  the  participle  preterite,  to  the  different

ENGLISH  LANGUAGE. 


29 


fove,  or  /  loved;  but  this  is  considered  as 
a  vitious  mode  of  speech. 

It  is  sometimes  used  emphatically;  a^, 
I  do  love  tliee,  and  when  I  love  thee  not. 
Chaos  is  come  again.  Shaksp. 

It  is  frequently  joined  with  a  neg'ative; 
as,  /  like  her,  but  I  do  not  love  her';  I 
idshed  him  success,  but  did  not  help  him. 
This,  by  custom  at  least,  appears  more 
easy  than  the  (jtlier  form  of  expressing- 
the  same  sense  by  a  negative  adverb  af- 
ter the  verb,  /   like  her,  but  love  her  not. 

The  imperative  prohibitory  is  seldom 
applied  in  the  second  person,  at  least 
in  prose,  without  the  word  do;  as,  Stop 
him,  but  do  not  hurt  him;  Praise  beauty, 
but  do  not  dote  on  it. 

Its  chief  use  is  in  interrogative  forms 
of  speech,  in  which  it  is  used  through  all 
the  persons;  as,  d6  /  live?  Dost  tlwu 
strike  me?  i)o  they  rebel?  Did  I  coinplain? 
Didst  thou  love  her?  Did  she  die?  So  like- 
wise in  negative  interrogations;  Do  /  not 
yet  grieve?  Did  she  not  die. 

Do  and  did  are  thus  used  only  for  the 
present  and  simple  preterite. 

There  is  another  manner  of  conjuga- 
ting- neuter  verbs,  which,  when  it  is  used, 
may  not  improperly  denominate  tliem 
neuter  passives,  as  they  are  inflected  ac- 
cording to  the  passive  form  by  the  help 
of  the  verb  substantive  to  be.  They  an- 
swer nearly  to  the  reciprocal  verbs  in 
French;  as, 
/  am  risen,  surrexi,  Latin;  Je  me  suis 

levd,  Fench. 

I  was  walked  otct,  exienim;    Je   m'etois 

promene. 

fn  like  manner  we  commonly  express 
the  present  tense;  as,  1  am  going,  eo.  I 
am  grieving,  doleo.  She  is  dying,  ilia 
moritur. 

The  tempest  is  raging,  furit  procella. 
I  am  pursuing  an  enemy,  hostem  insequor. 
So  the  other  tenses,  as,  iVe  were  walking, 
tTuy^a.vo/uiv  TripiTru-Tuvng ,  I  have  been  walk- 
ing, I  had  been  walking,  1  shall  or  -.vill  be 
walking. 

There  is  another  manner  of  using  the 
active  participle,  which  gives  it  a  passive 
signification:  as,  The  grammar  is  now 
printing,  grammaticu  jam  nunc  chartis  im- 
primitur.  The  bi-ass  is  forging,  d:ra  ex- 
cuduntur.  This  is,  in  my  opinion,  a  vi- 
tious expression,  probably  corrupted 
from  a  phrase  more  pure,  but  now  some- 
what obsolete:  The  book  is  a  p)'int- 
ing-.  The  brass  ?>  •d.forging;  a  being  pro- 
perly (U,  3ind  pj'intincr  Hwdforgiiif  verbal 

¥. 


nouns  signifying  aotlon,  according  to  the 
analogy  of  this  language. 

Tlie  indicative  and  conjunctive  moods 
are  by  modern  writers  frequently  con- 
founded, or  rather  the  conjunctive  i 
wholly  neglected,  when  some  conve- 
nience of  versification  does  not  invite  its 
revival.  It  is  used  among  the  purer  wri- 
ters of  former  times  after  if,  though,  ere, 
before,  till,  or  until,  whether,  except,  un- 
less, whatsoever,  whomsoever ,  and  words  of 
wishing;  as.  Doubtless  thou  art  our  father, 
though  Abraham  be  ignorant  of  us,  and 
Israel  acknowledge  us  not. 

OF  IRREGULAR  VERBS. 

The  English  verbs  were  divided  by 
Ben  Jonson  into  four  conjugations,  with- 
out any  reason  arising  from  the  nature  of 
the  language,  which  has  properly  but  one 
conjugation,  such  as  has  been  exempli- 
fied; from  wliich  all  deviations  are  to  be 
considered  as  anomalies,  which  ai-e  in- 
deed, in  our  monosyllables,  Saxon  verbs, 
and  the  verbs  derived  from  them,  very 
frequent:  but  almost  all  the  verbs  which 
have  been  adopted  from  other  languages 
follow  the  regular  form. 

Our  verbs  are  observed  by  Dr.  Wallis 
to  be  irregular  only  in  tlie  formation  of 
the  preterite,  and  its  participle.  Indeed, 
in  tlie  scantiness  of  our  conjugations 
there  is  scarcely  any  other  place  for  ir- 
regidarity. 

The  first  irregularity,  is  a  slight  devia- 
tion from  the  regular  form,  by  rapid  ut- 
terance or  poetical  contraction;  the  last 
syllable  ed  is  often  joined  with  the  for- 
mer by  suppression  of  e,-  as  lov  d  for  loved; 
after  c,  ch,  sh,f  k,  x,  and  after  the  con- 
sonants s,  ^/j,'when  more  strongly  pro- 
nounced, and  sometimes  after  m,  n,  r,  if 
preceded  by  a  short  vowel,  f  is  used  in 
proimnciation,  but  very  seldom  in  wri- 
ting, rather -^lan  d;  as  plac't,  snatch'tf 
fsh't,  Tjuk^t,  dwell't,  smel't;  for  placed, 
snatc/i'd,Jish'd,  wak\l,  dweWd,  sjvell  d. 

Those  words  which  terminate  in  /,  or 
//,  or  p,  m;ike  their  preterite  in  t,  even  in 
solemn  language;  as  crept,  felt,  dwelt; 
sometimes  after  x,  ed  is  changed  into  t; 
as  ve.vt:  this  is  not  constant. 

A  long  vowel  is  often  changed  into  a 
short  one;  thus  kept,  slept,  luept,  crept, 
swejit;  from  the  verbs,  to  keep,  to  sleep, 
to  weep,  to  creep,  to  swec[>. 

Where  d  or  t  go  before,  the  additional 
letter  </or  t  in  this  contracted  form  coa- 
lesce  into  one  letter  witli  t'ne  radical  d  or 
t:  iff  were  tlie  radical,  they  coalesce  into 
t;  but  if  d  were  the  radical,  then  into  d, 
or  t,  as  the  one  or  the  other  letter  may  bs 


A  GRAMMAU  OF  TlIK 


more  easily  pronounced;  as,  read,  led, 
spread,  shed,  shred,  bid,  hid,  chid,  fed,  died, 
bred,  sped,  sU-id,  slid,  rid,  from  tlie  verbs 
to  read,  to  lend,  to  sj/iead,  to  shed,  to 
shred,  to  bide,  to  hide,  to  chide,  to  feed, 
to  bleed,  to  breed,  to  speed,  to  stride,  to 
47/ Je,  to  m/e-  And  thus,  cast,  hurt,  cost, 
burst,  eat,  heat,  sweat,  sit,  quit,  smit,  ivrit, 
bit,  hit,  jnct,  shot;  from  the  verbs,  to  cast, 
to  hurt,  to  cost,  to  burst,  to  eat,  to  heat,tQ 
sweat,  to  sz/,  to  quit,  to  smite,  to  write,  to 
^ic,  to  ///i,  to  mee^,  to  i/ioo^.  And  in  like 
manner,  lent,  sent,  rent,  ffirt;  from  the 
^■erbs,  to  lend,  to  send,  to  ?'f/u/,  to  gird. 

The  participle  preterite  or  passive  is 
often  formed  in  en  instead  of  ed;  us,  been, 
taken,  given,  slain,  known,  from  the  verbs, 
to  be,  to  take,  to  give,  to  si'uj/,  to  know. 

Many  w  ords  have  two  or  more  partici- 
ples, as  not  only  written,  bitten,  eaten, 
beaten,  hidden,  chidden,  shotten,  chosen, 
broken;  but  likewise  writ,  bit,  eat,  beat, 
hid,  chid,  shot,  chose,  broke,  are  promiscu- 
ously used  in  the  participle,  from  the 
verbs  to  write,  to  bite,  to  eat,  to  beat,  to 
hide,  to  chide,  to  shoot,  to  choose,  to  break, 
and  many  such  like. 

In  the  same  manner  sown,  shown,  he^m, 
mown,  loaden,  laden,  as  well  as  sow^d, 
show  d,  hew'd,  mow'd,  loaded,  laded,  from 
the  verbs  to  sow,  to  show,  to  hew,  to  mow, 
to  load  ov  lade. 

Concerning  these  double  participles  it 
is  difficult  to  give  any  rule;  bui  he  shall 
seldom  err  who  remembers,  that  when 
a  verb  has  a  participle  distinct  from  its 
preterite,  as  write,  -urote,  written,  tliut 
distinct  participle  is  more  proper  and  ele- 
gant, as  'J'he  book  is  written,  is  better  tiian 
'J'he  book  is  wrote.  JTrote  however  may 
be  used  in  poetry;  at  least  if  mc  allow 
any  authority  to  poets,  who,  in  the  exult- 
ation of  genius,  think  tliemschcs  perhaps 
intitled  to  tiampleon  grammarians  There 
are  <H!ier  anomalies  in  the  preterite. 

1.  fl'in,  spin,  begin,  sxLum,  strike,  stick, 
sing,  sting,  Jung,  ring,  7i-ring,  spring, 
sxi'iiig,  drink;  smk;  shrink,  stink,  come,  run, 
Jind,  bind,  grind,  wind,  both  in  the  preter- 
ite, imnertcct,  and  pui'ticiple  passive, 
give  won,  spun,  begun,  sxvuin,  struck, 
stuck,  sung,  stimg,  fuiig,  rung;  wrung, 
sprung,  swung,  drunk,  sunk,  shrunk,  stunk, 
come,  run,  found,  bound,  ground,  Wound. 
And  most  of  ihem  nvc  also  formed  in  the 
jjreterite  by  a,  as  began,  ran,  sung,  sprung, 
drunk,  came,  run,  and  some  others;  but 
mosi  of  these  arc  now  obsolete.  Some 
in  the  |)iirticij)le  passive  likewise  take  en, 
as  stricken,  strucken,  drunken,  bounden. 

2.  Fight,  teach,  reach,  seek,  beseech, 
cuuh,    bur,    bring,     tiiink,    work,    make 


]  fought,  taught,  raught,  sought,  beeought, 
caught,  bought,  brought,  thought,  -wrought. 
But  a  great  many  of  these  retain  like- 
wise the  regular  form,  as  teached,  reach- 
ed, beseeched,  catched,  worked. 

3.  Take,  shake,  forsake,  wake,  awake, 
stand,  break,  speak,  bear,  shear,  swear, 
tear,  wear,  weave,  cleave,  strive,  thrive, 
drive,  shine,  rise,  arise,  smite,  write,  bide, 
abide,  ride,  choose,  ckuse,  tread,  get.,  beget, 

forget,  seethe,  make  in  both  preterite  and 
participle  took,  shook,  forsook,  -woke, 
awoke,  stood,  broke,  spoke,  bore,  shore, 
swore,  fore,  wore,  wove,  clove,  strove, 
throve,  drove,  shone,  rose,  arose,  smote, 
wrote,  bode,  abode,  rode,  chose,  trode,  g^ot, 
begot,  forgot,  sod.  But  we  say  likewise, 
thrive,  rise,  smit,  writ,  abid,  rid.  In  the 
preterite  some  are  likewise  formed  by  a, 
as  brake,  spake,  bare,  share,  sware,  tare, 
ware,  clave,  gat,  begat,  forgat,  and  per- 
haps some  others,  but  more  rarely,  lu 
the  participle  passive  are  many  of  them 
formed  by  en,  as  taken,  shaken,  forsaken, 
broken,  spoken,  born,  shoni,  sworn,  torn, 
worn,  woven,  cloven,  thriven,  driven,  risen, 
smitten,  ridden,  chosen,  trodde7i,  gotten,  be- 
gotten, forgotten,  sodden.  And  many  do 
likewise  retain  the  analogy  in  both,  as 
waked,  awaked,  sheared,  weaved,  leaved, 
abided,  seethed. 

4.  Give,  bid,  sit,  make  in  the  preterite, 
gave,  bade,  sate;  in  the  participle  passive, 
given,  bidden,  sitteu;  but  m  both  bid. 

5.  JJraiv,  know,  grow,  throw,  blow,  crow 
like  a  cock,  fly,  slay,  see,  ly,  make  their 
preterite  drew,  knew,  grew,  threw,  blew, 
crew,  flew,  slew,  saw,  lay;  their  participles 
passive  by  n,  dranvn,  known,  grown,  thrown, 
blown,  flown,  slain,  seen,  lien,  lain.  Yet 
from  fee  is  made  fed:  from  go,  went, 
from  the  old  wend,  the  participle  is  gone. 

OF  DERIVATION. 

That  the  English  language  may  be 
more  easily  understood,  it  is  necessary 
to  inquire  how  its  derivative  words  arc 
deduced  from  their  primitives,  and  how 
the  primitives  are  borrowed  from  other 
languages.  In  this  inquiry  1  shall  some- 
times copy  Dr.  tfallis,  and  sometimes 
endeavour  to  supply  his  defects,  and  rec- 
tify his  eri'ours. 

Nouns  are  derived  from  verbs. 

The  tiling  implied  in  the  verb  as  done 
or  produced  is  connnonly  either  the  pre- 
sent t)fthc  \erb,  as  10  love,  love,  to  fright, 
ii  fright;  w  tight,  ixfigln;  or  the  preter- 
ite of  the  verb,  as  to  strike,  1  strick  or 
strook,  a  stroke. 


ENGLISH  LANGUAGE. 


The  action  is  the  same  with  the  parti 
ciple  i)resent,  as  loving;  friijhting,  fight- 
ing, striking. 

Tlie  agent,  or  person  acting-,  is  denoted 
by  tlie  syllable  er  added  to  liie  verb,  as 
lover,  frigliter,   striker. 

Substantives,  adjectives,  and  some- 
times otlier  parts  of  speecli,  are  chang-ed 
into  verbs;  in  which  case  the  vowel  is 
often  leng-thened,  or  the  consonant  soft- 
ened: as,  a  house,  tn  house;  brass,  to 
braze;  glass,  to  glaze;  grass,  to  graze; 
price,  to  prize;  breath,  to  breathe;  a  fish, 
to  fish;  oyl,  to  oyl;  further,  to  further; 
forward,  to  forivard;  hinder,  to  hinder. 

Sometimes  the  termination  en  is  added, 
especially  to  adjectives;  as,  haste,  to  lias- 
ten;  length,  to  lengthen;  strength,  to 
strengthen;  short,  to  shorten;  fast,  to  fast- 
en; white,  to  whiten;  black,  to  blacken; 
hard,  to  harden;  soft,  to  soften. 

From  substantives  are  formed  adjec- 
tives of  plenty,  by  adding  the  termination 
i/i  as  a  louse,  loustj;  wealth,  -wealtht/; 
health,  healthy;  miglit,  mighty;  worth, 
•worthy;  wit,  luitty;  lust,  lusty;  water, 
■watery;  earth,  earthy;  wood,  a  wood, 
■woody;  air,  aii-y;  a  heart,  hearty;  a  hand, 
haiidy. 

From  substantives  are  formed  adjec- 
tives of  plenty,  by  adding  the  termination 
ful,  denoting  abundance;  as,  joy,  joyful; 
fruit,  fruitfid;  youth,  youthful;  care, 
careful;  use,  useful;  delight,  delightful; 
plenty,  plentiful;  help,  helpful. 

Sometimes,  in  almost  the  same  sense, 
but  with  some  kind  of  diminution  thereof, 
the  termination  some  is  added,  denoting 
something ,  or  in  some  degree;  as  delight, 
delightsome;  game,  gamesome;  irk,  irk- 
some; burden,  burdensome;  trouble,  trou- 
blesome; light,  lightsome;  hand,  hand- 
some; alone,  lonesome;  toil,  toilsome. 

On  the  contrary,  the  termination  less 
added  to  substantives,  makes  adjectives 
signifying  want;  as  luorthless,  witless, 
heartless,  Joyless,  careless,  helpless.  Tims 
comfort,  comfortless;  sap,  sapless. 

Privation  or  contrariety  is  very  often 
denoted  by  the  pa.iticiple  im  prefixed  to 
many  adjectives,  or  in  before  words  de- 
rived from  the  Latin;  as,  pleasant,  un- 
pleasant; wise,  un-wise;  profitable,  un- 
profitable; patient,  iinpatient.  Thus  un- 
luorthy,  unhealthy,  unfruitful,  unuseful, 
and  many  more. 

The  original  English  primitive  is  un; 
but  as  we  often  borrow  from  the  Latin, 
or  its  descendants,  words  already  signi- 
fying privation,  as  inefficacious,  impious, 
indiscreet,  the  inseparable  particles  tin 
and  in  have  fallen  into  conlusion,  from 


which  it  is  not  easy  to  disentangle  them. 

(In  is  prefixed  to  all  words  originally 
Knglish,  as  untrue,  untruth,  %intaught,  un- 
handsome. 

Un  is  prefixed  to  all  participles  made 
privative  adjectives,  as  unfeeling,  unassist- 
ing,  unaided,  undelighted,  unendeared. 

Lfn  ought  never  to  be  prefixed  to  a  par- 
ticiple present  to  mark  a  forbearance  of 
action,  as  unsighing,  but  a  privation  of 
habit,  as  unpityiyig. 

Un  is  prefixed  to  most  substantives 
which  have  an  English  termination,  as 
iinfertileness,  unperfectness,  which,  if  they 
have  borrowed  terminations,  take  in,  or 
im,  as  unfertility,  imperfection;  uncivil, 
incivility;  inactive,  inactivity. 

In  borrowing  adjectives,  if  we  receive 
them  already  compounded,  it  is  usual  to 
retain  the  particle  prefixed,  as  indecent, 
inelegant,  improper;  but  if  we  borrow  the 
adjective,  and  add  the  privative  particle, 
we  commonly  prefix  un,  as  unpolite,  un- 
gallant. 

The  prepositive  particles  dis  and  mis, 
derived  from  the  Jes  and  mes  of  the  French, 
signify  almost  the  same  as  un;  yet  dis 
rather  imports  contrariety  than  privation, 
since  it  answers  to  the  Latin  preposition 
de.  j\lis  insinuates  some  errour,  and  for 
the  most  part  may  be  rendered  by  the 
Latin  words  male  or  perperam.  To  like, 
to  dislike;  honour,  dishonour;  to  honour, 
to  grace,  to  dishonour,  to  disgrace;  to 
deign,  fo  disdeign;  chance,  hap,  mis- 
chance, mishap;  to  take,  to  mistake;  deed, 
misdeed;  to  use,  to  ynisuse,  to  employ,  to 
misemploy;   to  apply,  to  misapply. 

Words  derived  from  Latin  written 
with  de  or  dis  retain  the  same  significa- 
tion;  as  distinguish,  distinguo  detract, 
detrahoj  defame,  defamo;   detain,  detineo. 

The  termination  ly  added  to  substan- 
tives, and  sometimes  to  adjectives,  forms 
adjectives  that  import  some  kind  of  simi- 
litude or  agreement;  being  formed  by  con- 
traction of  lick  or  like. 

\  g'\.i{Ut,gia7itly,  giantlike;  earth,  earth- 
ly; heaven,  heavetily;  world,  worldly;  God, 
godly;   good,  goodly. 

The  same  termination  ly,  added  to  ad- 
jectives, forms  adverbs  of  like  significa- 
tion; as,  beautiful,  beautifully;  sweet, 
sweetly;  that  is,  in  a  beautiful  manner;  with 
some  degree  of  sweetness. 

I'he  termination  ish,  added  to  adject- 
ives, imports  diminution;  and  added  to 
substantives,  intports  similitude  or  ten- 
dency to  a  character;  as,  green,  greenish; 
white,  xvhitish;  soft,  softish;  a  thief,  thiev- 
ish; a  wolf,  wolvish;  a  child,  childish.

A  GRAMMAR  OF  THE 


We  have  forms  of  cutninulives  in  sub- 
stantives, though  not  freqr.ent;  as,  a  hill, 
a  hillock;  a  cork,  a  cockreh  a  pike,  pici- 
rel;  this  is  a  French  tenriination;  a  goose, 
o  ^osliuffi  this  ifc  a  (ierman  termination: 
a.  lamb,  a  lambkin;  a  chick,  a  chicken,-  a 
man,  a  tiinnakiti;  a  pipe,  «  pipkin;  and 
thus  Halkin,  whence,  the  patronymick 
Jfa-zvkins,    ft  ilUn,     Thomkin,  and   others. 

Yet  still  there  is  anotlier  form  of  dimi- 
nution amoni;:  the  English,  by  lessening 
the  sound  itself,  especialh  of  vowels,  as 
there  is  a  form  of  augmenting-  them  by 
enlarging:,  or  lengtlier.ing  it;  and  that 
sonictimes  not  so  mucli  by  change  of  the 
letters,  as  of  their  pronunciation;  as, 
snp,  nip,  soops  sop,  sippet,  where,  besides 
the  extenuation  of  the  vowel,  there  is 
added  the  French  termination  et;  top, 
tip,-  spit,  spoilt;  babe,  baby,  booby,  jiiiTraH; 
greet  pronounced  long,  especially  it  with 
a  Mi-onger  sownd,  grea-t,  little  pronounced 
long  lee-tle;  ting,  tung,  tovg,  imjiorts  a 
succession  of  smaller  and  then  greater 
sounds;  and  so  in  jingle,  jangle,  tingle, 
tangle,  and  many  other  made  words. 

Mncti  hoivever  of  this  is  arbitrary  and 
fanciful,  depending  -wholly  on  oral  utter- 
ance, and  therefore  scarcely  -worthy  the  no- 
tice of  'Wallih. 

Of  concrete  adjectives  are  made  ab- 
stract substantives,  by  adding  the  ter- 
mination ness;  and  a  few  in  hood  or  head, 
noting  character  or  quahties;  as,  white, 
■whiteness;  hard,  hardness;  great,  great- 
mens:  nkilful,  skilfidness,  itnskilfidness; 
godhead,  manhood,  maidenhood,  wido-w- 
hood,  knighthood,  priesthood,  likelihood, 
falsehood. 

1  he)  e  are  other  abstracts,  partly  deri- 
ved from  adjectives,  and  partly  from 
veibs,  wiiich  are  formed  by  the  addition 
of ih<  tern  iialion  th,  a  small  change  be- 
ing sometimes  made;  as,  long,  length; 
strong,  strength;  broad,  breadth;  wide, 
'■Muth;  deep,  depth;  true,  truth;  warm, 
■warmth;  dear,  dearth;  slow,  slo-wth;  mer- 
ry, mirth;  heal,  health;  weW,  \veii\,'xealth; 
dr\,  drought;  young,  youth;  and  so  moon, 
month. 

Like  these  are  some  words  derived 
from  verbs;  die,  death;  till,  tilth;  grow, 
groivlh;  mow,  later  mo-wih,  after  v-ovcHh; 
con.nionly  spoken  and  written  ater  muth, 
ahcrvialh;  steal,  stealth;  bear,  birth;  i  ue, 
nith;  and  probably  earth  from  to  ear  or 
plo-w;  fly,  fight;  weigh,  -weight;  fray, 
fright;  to  draw,  draught. 

These  should  rather  be  written, ;^'/§-j^M, 
frighth,  ori^y  that  custom  will  not  s-utier 
h  to  be  twice  repeated. 


The  same  form  retain  faith,  spight, 
■wreathe,  -wrath,  broth,  froth,  breath,  sooth, 
•worth,  light,  -wight,  and  the  like,  whose 
primitives  are  either  entirely  obsolete, 
or  seldom  occur.  Perhaps  they  are  de- 
rived i'ravnfey  ov  foy,  spry,  ivry,  -wreak, 
breic,  mo%o,fry,  buty,  s'ay,  -work. 

Some  ending  in  ship  imply  an  office, 
employment,  or  condition;  as,  kingship, 
■warihhip,  guardianship,  partnership,  steiv- 
ardship,  headship,  lordship. 

Thus  -ivorship,  that  is,  -worthship,  whence 
-worship fu\  and  tn  -worship. 

Some  few  ending  in  dom,  rick,  -wick, 
do  especially  denote  dominion,  at  least 
state  or  condition;  as  kingdom,  dukedom, 
earldom,  princedom,  popedom,  Christendom, 
freedom,  -tvisdom,  -whoredom,  bishoprick, 
baili-wick. 

JMent  and  age  are  plainly  French  ter- 
minations, and  are  of  the  same  import 
with  us  as  among  them,  scarcely  ever 
occurring,  except  in  words  derived  from 
the   French,  as  commandment,  usage. 

There  are  in  English  often  long  trains 
of  words  allied  by  the  meaning  and  de- 
rivation: as,  to  beat,  a  bat,  a  battoon,  a 
\  battle,  a  beetle,  a  battle-door,  to  batter, 
i  batter,  a  kind  of  glutinous  composition 
I  for  food,  made  by  beating  different  bo- 
,  dies  into  one  mass.  Ah  these  are  of  simi- 
']  lar  signification,  and  perhaps  derived 
'■  from  the  Latin  butuo.  Thus  take,  touch, 
,  tickle,  tack,  tackle,  all  imply  a  local  con- 
I  junction  from  the  Latin  tango,  tetigi,  tac- 
i  turn. 

From  t-iL<o  are  formed  t-wain,  t-wice* 
tv:enty,  t-welve,  tivins,  t-wine,  t-wist,  fwirlp 
'■wig-,  twitch,  tzvinge,  betiueen,  bet-wixt,  tvd- 
light,  fiiibil. 

The  following  remarks,  extracted  from 
Wallis,  are  ingenious,  but  of  more  subtle- 
ty than  solidity,  and  sucli  as  perhaps 
might  in  every  language  be  enlarged 
without  end. 

Sn  usually  imply  the  nose,  and  what 
relates  to  it.  Freim  the  Latin  nustn  are 
derived  the  French  7ies  and  the  English 
nose;  and  nesse,  a  promontory,  as  project- 
ing like  a  nose.  But  as  if  from  the  con- 
sonants ns  taken  from  nasus,  and  trans- 
posed, that  they  may  the  better  corre- 
spond, s?i  denotes  7iusns;  and  thence  are 
deilved  many  words  that  relate  to  the 
nose,  as  snout,  sneeze  snore,  snort,  ineer^ 
snicker,^8not,  sruvel,  snite,  snuff,  snuffle^ 
snajfie,  snut  I,  snudge.  ' 

There  is  another  sn,  which  may  per- 
haps be  derived  from    the  Latin   sinuo. 


ENGLISH  LANGUAGE. 


33 


,is  snake,  sneak,  snail,  snare;  so  likewise 
snap  and  snatch,  snib,  snub. 

HI  imply  a  blast;  as,  bloiv,  blast,  to  blast, 
to  blight,  and  metaphorically,  to  blast 
one's  reputation;  bleat,  bleak,  a  bleak 
place,  to  look  bleak,  or  weather  beaten, 
bleak,  blay,  bleach,  bluster,  bhirt,  blister, 
blab,  bladder,  bleb,  blnbber-lip't,  blubber- 
cJieek'd,  bloted,  blote  herrings,  blast,  blaze, 
tf>  blow,  that  is,  blnssom,  bloom;  and  per- 
Jiaps  blood  and  blush. 

In  the  native  words  of  our  tongue  is  to 
be  found  a  great  agreement  between  the 
letters  and  the  thing  signified;  and  there- 
fore the  sounds  of  letters  smaller,  sliarp- 
er,  louder,  closer,  softer,  stronger,  clear- 
er, more  obscure,  and  more  stridulous,  do 
very  often  intimate  the  like  effects  in  the 
tilings  signified. 

Thus  words  that  begin  with  str  inti- 
mate the  force  and  effect  of  the  thing  sig- 
nified, as  if  probably  derived  from  cpcnufAi, 
or  strenuus,  as  strong,  strength,  strexv, 
strike,  streak,  stroke,  stripe,  strive,  strife, 
struggle,  strotit,  strut,  stretch,  strait,  strict, 
streight,  that  is,  narrow,  distrain,  stress, 
tlistress,  string,  strap,  stream,  streamer, 
strand,  strip,  stray,  struggle,  strange, 
stride,  straddle. 

St  in  like  manner  imply  strength,  but 
in  a  less  degree,  so  much  only  as  is  suf- 
ficient to  preserve  what  has  been  already 
communicated,  rather  than  acquire  any 
new  degree;  as  if  it  were  derived  from 
the  Latin  sto  -.  i'oV  example,  stand,  stay, 
that  is,  to  remain,  or  to  prop;  staff,  stay, 
that  is,  to  oppose;  stop,  to  stuff,  stifle,  to 
stay;  that  is,  to  stop;  a  stay,  that  is,  an 
obst;icle;  stick,  stut,  stutter,  stammer, 
stagger,  stickle,  stick,  stake,  a  sharp  ]>ale, 
and  any  thing  deposited  at  play;  stock, 
*  stem,  sting,  to  sting,  slink,  stitch,  stud,  stan- 
chion, stub,  stubble,  to  stub  up,  stump, 
whence  stumble,  stalk,  to  stalk,  step,  to 
stamp,  with  the  feet,  whence  to  stamp, 
that  is  to  make  an  impression  and  a  stamp; 
htoiu,  to  sto-iV,  to  bestoxu,  steward,  or  stow- 
ard,  stead,  steady,  steadfast,  stable,  a  sta- 
ble, a  stall,  to  stall,  stool,  still,  stallage, 
stage,  still,  adjective,  and  still,  adv.  stale, 
stout,  sturdy,  stead,  stoat,  stallion,  stiff, 
stark-dead,  to  starve  with  hunger  or  cold; 
stone,  steel,  stem,  stuuvh,  to  stanch  blood, 
to  stare,  steep,  steeple,  stair,  standard,  a 
stated  measure,  stately.  In  all  these,  and 
perhaps  some  others,  st  denote  something 
firm  and  fixed. 

Thr  imply  a  more  violent  degree  of 
motion;  as  thro-w,  thrust,  rlirong,  throb, 
through,  tlircat,  threaten,  thrall,  throivs- 

Wr  imply  some  sort  of  obliquity  or  dis- 
tortion, as,  -•^•ry,  to  wreath,  wrest,  wrestle, 
v>nng,   -wrong,  ivtinch,  wrench,  Tvrangle, 


wrinkle,  wrath,  wreak,  ^rack,  wretch, 
wHst,  iirrap. 

Sw  imply  a  silent  agitation,  or  a  softer 
kind  of  lateral  motion;  as,  s%vay,  swag,  to 
sway,  swagger,  swerve,  sweat,  sweep, 
swill,  s-wim,  swi7ig,  swift,  sweet,  sxvitch, 
swinge. 

Nor  is  there  much  difference  of  sm  in 
smooth,  snmg,  smde,  smirk,  smite,  which 
signifies  the  same- as  to  strike,  but  is  a 
softer  word;  S7nall,  smell,  smack,  smother, 
smart,  a  smart  blow  properly  signifies 
such  a  kind  of  stroke,  as,  with  an  origi- 
nally silent  motion  implied  in  *//i,  pro- 
ceeds to  a  quick  violence,  denoted  by  ar 
suddenly  ended,  as  is  shewn  by  t. 

CI  denote  a  kind  of  adhesion  or  tena- 
city, as  in  cleave,  clay,  cling,  climb,  clam- 
ber, clammy,  clasp,  to  clasp,  to  clif),  to 
clinch,  cloak,  clog,  close,  to  close,  a  clod,  a 
clot,  a  clot  of  blood,  cloutted  cream,  a  clut- 
ter, a  cluster. 

iS)5  imply  a  kind  of  dissipation  or  ex- 
pansion, especially  a  quick  one,  particu- 
larly if  there  be  an  r,  as  if  it  were  from 
spargo  or  separo  :  for  example,  spread, 
spring,  sprig,  sprout,  sprinkle,  split,  splin- 
ter, spill,  spit,  sputter,  spatter. 

SI  denote  a  kind  of  silent  fall,  or  a  less 
observable  motion  ;  as  in  slime,  slide,  slip, 
slipper,  sly,  sleight,  slit,  slow,  slack,  slight, 
sling,  slap. 

And  so  likewise  «.jA,in  ci^ash,rash,gash, 
fash,  clash,  lash,  slash,  plash,  trash,  indi- 
cate something  acting  more  nimbly  and 
sharply.  But  ush,  in  crush,  rush,  gush, 
fush,  bhish,  brush,  hush,  push,  imply  some- 
thmg  as  acting  more  obtusely  and -dully- 
Yet  in  both  there  is  indicated  a  swift  and 
sudden  motion,  not  instantaneous,  hut 
gradual,  by  the  continued  sound  i'A. 

Thus  mfing,  sling,  ding,  swing,  cling, 
sing,  wring,  sti7ig,  the  tingling  of  the  ter- 
mination 7ig,  and  the  sharpness  of  *lie 
vowel  i,  imply  the  continuation  of  a  very 
slender  motion  or  tremour,  at  length  in- 
deed vanishing,  but  not  suddenly  inter- 
rupted. But  in  tink,  wink,  sink,  c'iiik, 
chink,  think,  that  end  in  a  mute  cons'onant, 
there  is  also  indicated  a  sudden  ending. 

If  there  be  an  /,  as  in  Jingle,  tingle,  tin- 
kle, mingle,  sprinkle,  twinkle,  there  is  ap- 
plied a  frequency,  or  iteration  of  small 
acts.  And  the  same  frequency  of  acts, 
but  less  subtile  by  reason  of  the  clearer 
vowel  a,  is  indicated  in  junglf,  tangle, 
spangle,  ma7igle,  wra/igle,  bra/igle;  dangle; 
as  also  in  mumble;  grumble;  jumble:  tumble; 
stumble;  rumble;  crumble;  fumble.  Bui  at 
the  same  time  ihe  close  u  implies 
something  obscure  or  oblundcd  ;  and  a 
congeries  of  consonants  mbl,  denotes  a. 
confused  kind  of  rolling  or  tumbhng,  as

A  GRAMMAR  OF  THE 


in  rninble,  scamble,  scramble  -wamble,  am- 
ble,- but  in  these  there  is  something 
acute. 

In  nhnble,  the  acuteness  of  the  vowel 
denotes  celerity,  in  sparkle,  sp  denotes 
dissipation,  ar  an  acute  crackling',  k  a  sud- 
den interruption,  /  a  frequent  iteration; 
and  in  like  manner  in  sprinkle,  unless  in 
may  imply  the  'mbtdity  of  the  dissipated 
tjultules.  Thick  and  thin  differ,  in  that 
the  formerends  with  an  obtuse  consonant, 
and  the  latter  with  an  acute. 

In  like  manner,  in  squeek,  squeak, 
fqueal,  squall,  braivl,  turaul,  yaiil,  spaiil, 
scrcek,  shriek,  shrill, sharp,  shrivel,  ivrinkle, 
crack,  crash,  clash,  gnash,  plash,  crush, 
h'lsh,  hissf:,fisse,  rvhist,  soft, jar,  hurl,  curl, 
■whirl ,  buz,  bustle,  spindle,  dwimlle,  twine, 
twist,  and  in  many  more,  we  may  observe 
the  agreement  of  such  sort  of  sounds 
witli  the  tiling's  signified;  and  this  so  fre- 
quently happens,  that  scarce  any  language 
vvliich  Iknow  can  be  compared  with  our's. 
So  that  one  monosyllable  word,  of  which 
kind  are  almost  all  ours,  emphatically  ex- 
presses wliat  in  otlier  languages  can 
scarce  be  explained  but  by  compounds, 
or  decompounds,  or  sometimes  a  tedious 
circumlocution. 

We  have  many  words  borrowed  from 
the  Latin,  but  the  greatest  part  of  them 
were  communicated  by  the  intervention 
of  the  French;  as,  grace,  face,  elegant, 
elegance,  resemble. 

Some  verbs  which  seem  borrowed  from 
the  Latin,  are  formed  from  tlie  present 
tense,  and  some  from  the  supines. 

From  the  present  are  formed,  spend, 
expend,  expendo;  conduce,  conduco;  de- 
spise, dispicio;  approve,  approbo;  conceive, 
concipio. 

From  the  supines,  supplicate,  supplico; 
demonstrate,  denaonstro;  dispose,  dispono; 
ejLpiUiate,  expatior;  suppress,  supprimo; 
exempt,  eximo. 

Nothing  is  more  apparent,  than  that 
Wallis  goes  too  far  in  quest  of  originals. 
Many  of  these,  which  seem  selected  as 
immediate  descendants  from  the  Latin, 
are  apparently  French,  as  conceive,  ap- 
prove, expose,  exempt. 
-  Some  words  purely  French,  not  deriv- 
ed from  the  Latin,  we  have  transferred 
into  our  language;  as,  garden,  garter, 
buckler,  to  advance,  to  cry,  plead,  from  the 
I'ranch,  jurdi^i,  jartier,  bouclier,  avancer, 
crier,  plaider;  though,  indeed,  even  of 
these  part  is  of  Latin  original. 

As  to  many  words  which  we  have  in 
common  with  the  (Jcrmans,  it  is  doubtful 
wiifcther  the  old  Teutons  borrowed  them 
from  the  Latins,  or  the  Latins  from  tlie 


Teutons,  or  both  had  them  from  some 
common  original;  as,  wine,  vinum;  wind, 
ventus;  went,  veni;  way,  via;  wall,  vallum; 
wallow,  volvo;  wool,  velUis;  -will,  volo; 
worm,  vermis;  worth,  virtus;  wasp,  vespa; 
f/a^,  dies;  f/raio,  traho;  tume,iXomo,  S'Xfjt.i.a); 
yoke,  jugum,  ^w-yor,  over,  upper,  super, 
■jTip;  am,  sum,  6/^<;  6ren/-,  frango;  _^^,  volo; 
blow,  flo.  I  make  no  doubt  but  the 
Teutonick  is  more  ancient  than  the 
Latin;  antl  it  is  no  less  certain,  that 
the  Latin,  which  borrowed  a  great  num- 
ber of  words  not  only  from  tlie  Greek, 
especially  the  iEolick,  but  from  other 
neighbouring  languages,  as  tlie  Oscan 
and  others,  which  have  long  become  ob- 
solete, received  not  a  few  from  the  Teu- 
tonick. It  is  certain  that  the  English, 
German,  and  other  Teutonick  languages, 
retained  some  derived  from  the  Greek, 
which  the  Latin  has  not;  as  ax,  achs,mit, 
ford,  pfurd,  daughter,  tochter,  mickle,  min- 
gle, moon,  sear,  grave,  graff,  to  grave,  to 
scrape,  whole,  from  a^irit,  /mth.,  'o-ofbfjt.ix. 
S'uyctTup,  f/.i.yct\o(y  /uiyviJu,  juyivn,  ^upo^,  ypctfiee, 
oAo;.  Since  they  received  these  immedi- 
ately from  the  Greeks,  without  the  inter- 
vention of  the  Latin  language,  why  may 
not  other  words  be  derived  immediately 
from  the  same  fountain,  thougii  they  be 
likewise  found  among  the  Latins  ? 

Our  ancestors  were  studious  to  form 
borrowed  words,  however  long,  into  mo- 
nosyllables; and  not  only  cut  off  the  for- 
mative terminations,  but  cropped  the  first 
syllable,  especially  in  words  beginning 
with  a  vowel;  and  rejected  not  only  vowels 
in  the  middle,  but  likewise  consonants  of 
a  weaker  sound,  retaining  the  stronger, 
which  seem  the  bones  of  words,  or 
changing  them  for  others  of  the  same  or- 
gan, in  order  that  the  sound  might  be- 
come the  softer;  but  especially  transpos- 
ing their  order,  that  they  might  the 
more  readily  be  pronounced  without  the 
intermediate  vowels.  For  example,  in 
expendo,  spend;  exemplum,  sample;  ex- 
cipio,  scape;  extraneus,  strange;  exti'ac- 
tum,  stretch'd;  excrucio,  to  screw;  ex- 
scorio,  to  scour;  excorio,  to  scourge;  excor- 
tico,  to  scratch;  and  otlters  beginning 
with  ex:  as  also,  emendo,  to  mend;  epis- 
copus,  bishop;  in  Danish,  bisp;  epistola, 
epistle;  hospitale,  spittle;  Hispania,  Spain; 
historia,  slo)v/. 

Many  of  these  etymologies  are  doubt- 
ful, and  some  evidently  mistaken. 

The  following  are  somewhat  harder, 
Mexander,  Sander, Elisubetha,  Betty,  apis, 
bee;  aper,  bar;  p  passing  into  b,  as  in 
bishop,  and  by  cutting  ofl'  a  from  the  be- 
ginning, which  is  restored  in  the  middle;

sound  of  the  v  consonant  was  formerly 
that  of  the  letter- y;  that  is,  the  ^olick 
digamma,  which  had  the  sound  of^,  and 
the  modern  sound  of  the  letter/ was  that

A  vowel  is  also  cut  off'  in  the  middle, 
that  the  number  of  the  syllables  may  be 
lessened;  as  antita,  aunt;  spiritus,  spright;

A  GRAMMAR  OF  THE 


u-i^,  as  if  it  took  its  name  from  the  ear; 
annulus  geminus,  a  gemmal,  or  gimbal- 
ring;  and  thus  the  v/ovA  gimbal  send  jum- 
bal is  transferred  to  other  things  thus  in- 
terwoven; quelques  choses,  iickshaivs. 
Since  the  origin  of  these,  and  many 
others,  however  forced,  is  evident,  it 
ought  to  appear  no  wonder  to  any  one,  if 
the  ancients  have  thus  disfigured  many, 
especially  as  they  so  much  affected  mo- 
nosyllables; and,  to  make  them  sound 
the  softer,  took  this  liberty  of  maiming, 
taking  away,  changing,  transposing,  and 
softening  them. 

But  while  we  derive  these  from  the 
Latin,  1  do  not  mean  to  say,  that  many 
of  them  did  not  immediately  come  to  us 
from  the  Saxon,  Danish,  Dutcli,  and 
Teutonick  languages,  and  other  dialects, 
and  some  taken  more  lately  from  the 
French  or  Italians,  or  Spaniards. 

The  same  word,  according  to  its  different 
.significations,  often  has  a  different  ori- 
gin; as,  to  beav  a  burden,  from  fero;  but 
to  bear,  whence  birth,  bom,  bairn,  come 
i'rom  par iu;  aiid  a  bear,  at  least  if  it  be  of 
Latin  original,  from /era.  Thus ^erc/i,  a 
a  fish,  from  perca;  but  perch,  a  measure, 
from  pertica,  and  likewise  fo/)e?"c/j.  I'o 
spell  is  from  syllaba;  but  spell,  an  inchant- 
ment,  by  which  it  is  believed  that  the 
boundaries  are  so  fixed  in  lands,  that 
none  can  jiass  them  against  the  master's 
will,  from  expello;  and  spell,  a  messenger, 
irom  cpistola;  wlience  gospel,  goodspell,  or 
godspell  Thus  freese,  or  freeze,  from 
frigesco;  but  freeze,  an  architectonic 
word,  from  zophorus;  hvXjrecse,  for  cloth, 
trom  Frizia,  or  peril aps  irom/rigesco,  as 
being  more  fit  than  any  otlier  for  keep- 
out  the  cold. 

There  are  many  words  among  us,  even 
monosyllables,  compounded  of  two  or 
more  words,  at  least  serving  instead  of 
compounds,  and  comprising  the  significa- 
tion of  more  words  than  one:  as,  from 
scrip  and  roll,  comes  scroll,-  from  proud 
and  dance,  prance;  from  st  of  the  verb 
i-tuy  or  utand,  and  out,  is  made  stout;  from 
itojit  and  hardrj,  sturdy;  from  sp  oi'  spit  or 
spew,  and  out,  comes  spout;  from  the 
same  Kp,  with  the  termination  m,  is  spiti,- 
,  and  adding  out,  s()iii  out;  and  from  the 
same  sp,  witii  it,  is  spit,  which  only  dif- 
lers  from  spout,  in  ihat  it  is  smaller,  and 
v.iih  less  noise  and  force;  but  sputter  is, 
because  oi'  the  obscure  u,  something  be- 
tween spit  and  spout;  and  by  reason  of 
adding  r,  it  intimates  a  frequent  itera- 
tion and  noise,  but  obscurely  contused: 
\vh(^rtns  spatter,  on  account  of  the  sharper 
and  clearer  vowel  a,  intimates  a  more 


distinct  noise,  in  which  it  chiefly  differs 
from  sputter.  Fi"om  the  same  sp,  and 
the  termination  ar^,  comes  j/»arA:,  signi- 
fying a  single  emission  of  fire  with  a 
noise;  namely,  sp  the  emission,  ar  flie 
more  acute  noise,  and  J^  the  mute  con- 
sonant, intimates  its  being  suddenly  ter- 
minat  ed;  but  adding  /,  is  made  the  fre- 
quentative sparkle.  The  same  sp,  by  ad- 
ding r,  that  is  spr,  implies  a  more  lively 
impetus  of  diffusing  or  expanding  itself; 
to  which  adding  the  termination  in^,  it 
becomes  spring;  its  vigour  spr  imports, 
its  sharpness  the  termmation  itig,  and 
lastly  i?i  acute  and  tremulous,  ending  iu 
the  mute  consonant  g,  denotes  the  sud- 
den ending  of  any  motion,  that  it  is 
meant  in  its  primary  signification,  of  a 
single,  not  a  complicated  exilition.  Hence 
we  call  spring  whatever  has  an  elastick 
force;  as  also  a  fountain  of  water,  and 
thence  the  origin  of  any  thing;  and  to 
spring,  to  germinate;  and  spi-ittg,  one  of 
the  four  seasons.  From  the  same  spr 
and  out,  is  formed  sprout,  and  with  thf 
termination  ig,  sprig;  of  which  the  fol- 
lowing, for  the  most  part,  is  the  differ- 
ence; sprout,  of  a  grosser  sound,  imports 
a  fatter  or  grosser  bud;  sprig,  of  a  slen- 
derer sound,  denotes  a  smaller  shoot.  In 
like  mannei',  from  str  of  the  verb  strivef 
and  out,  comes  strout,  and  strut.  From 
the  same  str,  and  the  termination  uggle, 
is  made  struggle;  and  this^Zimports,  but 
without  any  great  noise,  by  reason  of  the 
obscure  sound  of  the  vowel  u.  In  like 
manner,  from  thro~,v  and  i^oll  is  made  troli; 
and  almost  in  the  same  sense  is  trundle, 
from  throw  or  thrust,  and  rundle-  Thus 
gruff  or  grough  is  compounded  of  grave 
and  rovgh;  and  trudge  from  tread  ov  trot, 
and  drudge. 

In  these  observations  it  is  easy  to  dis» 
cover  great  sagacity  and  great  extrava- 
gance, an  ability  to  do  much  defeated  by 
the  desire  of  domg  more  than  enough. 
It  may  be  remarked, 

1.  That  Wallis's  derivations  are  often 
so  made,  that  by  the  same  licence  any 
language  may  be  deduced  from  any 
other. 

2.  That  lie  makes  no  distinction  be- 
tween words  immediately  derived  by 
us  from  the  Latin,  and  those  which, 
being  copied  from  other  languages, 
can  therefore  afford  no  example  of 
the  genius  of  the  English  language,  or 
its  laws  of  derivation. 

3.  That  he  derives  from  the  Latin, 
often  with  great  harshness  and  violence, 
words  apparently  Teutonick;  and  there-

ibre,  according'  to  his  o\vtt  declaration, 
prohabiy  older  than  the  tongue  to  which 
he  refers  them. 

4.  That  some  of  his  derivations  are 
apparently  erroneous. 

SYNTAX. 

The  established  practice  of  grammari- 
ans requires  that  I  should  hei-e  treat  of 
the  Syntax;  but  our  lanp^uape  has  so  lit- 
tle inflection  or  variety  of  terminations, 
that  its  construction  neither  requires  nor 
admits  many  rules.  Wallis,  therefore, 
has  totally  neg-lected  it;  and  Jonson, 
whose  desire  of  following'  the  writers 
\ipon  the  learned  languag-es  made  him 
think  a  syntax  indispensaV>'y  necessary, 
has  published  such  petty  observations  as 
were  better  omitted. 

The  verb,  as  in  other  lanp^uages,  agrees 
with  the  nominative  in  number  and  per- 
son; as,  Thau  Jliest  from  good;  He  runs 
to  death. 

Our  adjectives  are  invariable. 

Of  two  substantives  the  noun  posses- 
sive is  the  Efenitive;  as,  His  fatlter''s  glo- 
ry;  The  sun^s  heat. 

Verbs  transitive  require  an  oblique 
case:  as,  He  love''s  me;  You  fear  him. 

AU  prepositions  i-equire  an  oblique 
case:  He  gave  this  to  me;  He  took  this 
from  tne;  He  says  this  of  7ne;  He  came  with 
me. 

PROSODY. 

It  is  common  for  those  that  deliver 
the  g'rammar  of  modei'n  languages,  to 
omit  the  Prosody.  So  that  of  the  Ital- 
ians is  neglected  by  Bunmattei;  that  o£ 
the  French  by  Tiesmarais;  and  that  of 
tlie  English  by  Wallis,  Coo/>er,  and  even 
by  Jonson,  though  a  poet.  But  as  the 
law  s  of  metre  are  included  in  the  idea  of 
a  grammar,  J  have  thought  it  proper  to 
inse.rt  them. 

Pi  osody  comprises  orthoepy,  or  the 
rules  of  pronunciation;  and  orthometry, 
or  the  laws  of  versification. 

Pro  NUNCiATiov  is  just,  when  every 
letter  h  as  its  proper  sound,  and  when 
every  sj  liable  has  its  proper  accent,  or, 
which  ii  ■!  English  versification  is  the 
same,  its    proper  quantity. 

The  so>  mds  of  the  letters  have  been 
already  e:  ^plained;  and  rules  for  the  ac- 
cent or  qui  mtity  are  not  easily  to  be  given, 
being  subji  "Ct  to  innumerable  exceptions, 
Such  howe  ver  as  I  have  read  or  formd, 
I  shall  her«     propose. 


1.  Of  dissyllables,  formed  by  affixing 
a  termination,  the  former  syllable  is 
commonly  accented,  as  childish,  ktJigdom, 
detest,  acted,  toilsome,  lover,  scoffer,  fair- 
er, foremost,  z^alottt,  fulness,  godly,  meek- 
ly, artist. 

2.  Dissyllables  formed  by  prefixing  a 
syllable  to  the  radical  word,  have  com- 
monly liie  accent  on  the  latter;  as,  to  be- 
get, to  beseem,  to  bestow. 

S.  Of  dissyllables,  vvjiich  are  at  once 
nouns  and  veib.s,  the  verb  has  commonly 
the  accent  on  tlie  latter,  and  the  noun 
on  the  former  syllable;  as,  to  descant,  a 
descant;  to  cemint,  a  cdment,  to  contract, 
a  contract. 

This  rule  has  many  exceptions.  Though 
verbs  seldom  have  their  accent  on  the 
former,  yet  nouns  often  have  it  on  the 
Utter  syllable;  as,  delight,  perfume. 

4.  All  dis.sxllables  ending  in  y,  as  cran- 
ny; in  our,  as,  labour,  favour;  in  oxu,  as 
willovi,  ludllov),  except  all6-u>;  in  le,  as 
battle,  bible;  in  i^h,  as  banish;  in  ci,  as 
as  cdmbvick,  cassock;  in  ter,  as  to  batter; 
in  age,  as  courage;  in  en,  as  fasten;  in  et, 
as  quiet;  accent  the  former  syllable. 

5.  Dissyllable  nouns  In  er,  as  canker, 
butter,  have  the  accent  on  the  former  syl- 
lable. 

6.  DissjUable  verbs  terminating  in  a 
consonant  and  e  final,  as  comprise,  escape; 
or  having  a  diphthong  in  the  last  sylla- 
ble, as  appease,  reveal;  or  ending  in  two 
consonants,  as  attend;  have  the  accent 
on  the  latter  syllable. 

7.  Dissyllable  nouns  having  a  diph- 
thong in  the  latter  syllable,  have  com- 
monly their  accent  on  the  latter  syllable, 
as  applause,  except  words  in  ain,  certain, 
mountain. 

8.  Trissyllables  formed  by  adding  a

A  GRAMMAR  QF  THE 


12.  Trissyllables  in  re  or  le  accent  the 
first  syllable,  as  legible,  theatre,  except 
disciple,  and  some  words  which  have  a 
position,  as  example,  epistle. 

13.  Trissyllables  in  ude  commonly  ac- 
cent the  first  syllable,  &s  plenitude . 

14.  Trissyllables  ending  in  ator  or 
atour,  as  cre/itozir,  or  having-  the  middle- 
syllable  a  diphthong,  as  endeavour,  or  a 
vowel  before  two  consonants,  as  domes- 
tick,  accent  the  middle  syllable. 

15  Trissyllables  that  have  their  ac- 
cent on  the  last  syllable  are  commonly 
French,  as  acquiesce,  repartee,  magazine, 
or  words  formed  by  prefixing  one  or  two 
syllables  to  an  acute  syllable,  as  imma- 
ture, overcharge. 

16.  Polysyllables,  or  words  of  more 
than  three  syllables,  follow  the  accent  of 

-the  words  from  which  they  are  derived, 
as  arrogating,  continency,  incontinently, 
commendable,  communicableness.  We 
should  therefore  say  disputable,  indispu- 
table, rather  than  disputable,  indisputable, 
and  advertisement,  rather  than  advertise- 
ment. 

17.  Words  in  ion  have  the  accent  upon 
the  antepenult,  as  salvation,  perturbation, 
concoction;  words  in  atour  or  ator  on  the 
penult,  as  dedicator. 

18.  Words  ending  in  le  commonly 
have  the  accent  on  the  first  syllable,  as 
amicable,  unless  the  second  syllable  have 
a  vowel  before  two  consonants,  as  com- 
bustible, 

19.  Words  ending  in  ous  have  the  ac- 
cent on  the  antepenult,  as  uxorious,  vo- 
licptuous. 

20.  Words  ending  in  ty  have  their  ac- 
cent on  the  antepenult,  as  pusillanimity, 
activity. 

These  rules  are  not  advanced  as  com- 
plete or  infallible,  but  proposed  as  use- 
ful. Almost  every  every  rule  of  every 
language  has  its  exceptions;  and  in  En- 
glish, as  in  other  tongues,  much  must  be 
learned  by  example  and  authority.  Per- 
haps more  and  better  rules  may  be  given 
that  have  escaped  my  observation. 

Versification  is  the  arrangement 
of  a  certain  number  of  syllables  accorxl- 
ing  to  certain  laws. 

The  feet  of  our  verses  are  either  iam- 
bick,  as  aloft,  credtCi  or  trochaick,  as 
holy,  lofty. 

Our  iambick  measure  comprises  verses 
Of  four  syllables. 
Most  good,  most  fair, 
Or  things  as  rare. 
To  call  you's  lost; 
For  all  the  cost 


Words  can  bestow, 
So  poorly  stiow 
Upon  your  praise. 
That  all  the  ways 

Sense  hath,  conies  short.  Drayton. 

With  ravish'd  ears 

I'he  monarch  hears.  Dryden. 

Of  six. 

This  while  we  are  abroad, 

.Shall  we  not  touch  our  lyre  ! 
Shall  we  not  sing  an  ode  ? 

Or  shall  that  holy  fire. 
In  us  that  strongly  glow'd. 

In  this  cold  air  expire  ? 

Though  in  the  utmost  peak, 

A  while  we  do  remain. 
Amongst  the  mountains  bleak. 

Exposed  to  sleet  and  rain. 
No  sport  our  hours  shall  break. 

To  exercise  our  vein. 

What  though   bright  Phccbus'  beams 
Refresh  the  southern  ground. 

And  though  the  princely  Thames 
With  beauteous  nymphs  abound. 

And  by  old  Camber's  streams 
Be  many  wonders  found  : 

Yet  many  rivers  clear 

Here  glide  in  siver  swathe.s. 
And  wiiat  of  all  most  dear, 

Buxton's  delicious  baths. 
Strong  ale  and  noble  cheer, 

T'  asswage  breem  winter's  scathes. 
In  places  far  or  near. 

Or  famous,  or  obscure. 
Where  wholesome  is  the  air. 

Or  where  the  most  impure, 
All  times,  and  every  where. 

The  muse  is  still  in  ure.       Drayton. 
Of  eight,  which  is  the  usur>.l  measure  for 
shoi't  poems. 

And  may  at  last  my  weary  age 
Find,  out  the  peaceful  hermitage. 
The  hairy  gown,  and  mossy  cell,. 
Where  I  may  sit,  and  nightly  F,pell 
Of  ev'ry  star  the  sky  doth  sh','w. 
And  every  herb  that  sips  the,  dew. 

Jlliltt  .n. 
Often,  which  is  the  comnion  measure   of 
heroick  and  tragick  poetry. 

Full  in  the  midst  of  this  created  spa'  ce. 
Betwixt  heav'n,  earth,   and  skies,  t)  .lere

Plac'd  on  tlie  summit  of  a  lofty  tow'r; 
A  thoMsancl    winding'  entries  long  and 

wide 
Recr'ieve  of  fj-esh  reports  a  flowing'  tide. 
A  thousand   crannies   in   the  walls    are 

made; 
Nof  gate   nor   bars  exclude    the  busy 

trade. 
'Tis  built  of  brass,   the  better  1o  difFuse 
•]"he  spreading'  sounds,  and  multiply  the 

news; 
Where  echoes  in  repeated  echoes   play; 
A  mart  forever  full;  and  open  night  and 

day. 
Nor  silence  is  within,  nor  voice  express, 
But  u  deaf  noise  of  sounds  that  never 

cease; 
Confus'd,   and  chiding,  like   the  hollow 

roar 
Of  tides,  receding  from  th' insulted  shore; 
Or  like  the  broken   tnunder  heard  from 

far, 
Whcii  Jove  to  distance  drives  the  rolling' 

war. 
The  courts  are  filled  with  a  tumultuous 

din. 
Of  crowds,  or  issuing  fortli,  or  ent'ring- 

in, 
A  thorough-fare  of  news;    where  some 

devise 
Things  never  heard,  some  mingle  truth 

with  lies; 
The  troubled  air  with  empty  sounds  they 

beat. 
Intent  to  hear,  and  eager  to  repeat. 

Dryden. 

In  all  these  measures  the  accents  are 
to  be  placed  on  even  syllables;  and  every 
line  considered  by  itself  is  more  harmo- 
nious, as  this  rule  is  more  strictly  ob- 
served. The  variations  necessary  to 
pleasure  belong  to  the  art  of  poetry,  not 
to  the  rules  of  grammar. 

Our  trochaick  measures  are 

Of  three  syllables; 

Here  we  may 

Tifmk  and  pray. 

Before  death 

Stops  our  breath  : 

Other  joys 

Are  but  toys.        Walton's  Anffler. 
Of  five. 


In  the  days  of  old, 
Stories  plainly  told. 
Lovers  felt  annoy.         Old  Bailad. 
Of  seven. 

Fairest  piece  of  well-form'd  earth. 
Urge  not  thus  your  haughty  birth. 

Waller 


In  tiiese  measures  the  accent  is  to  be 
placed  on  the  odd  syllables. 

These  are  the  measures  which  are 
now  in  use,  and  above  the  rest  tliose  of 
sev(-n,  ciii'lu,  and  ten  syllables.  O'ur  an- 
cient poets  wrote  verses  sometimes  of 
twelve  syllables,  as  Dr;iyton's  Poiyolbi- 
on. 

Of  all   the   CaiTibri.-ui  shires  their  heads 

that  bear  so  hig'h. 
And   farth'st    survey  ilieir  soils  v/iih  an 

ambitious  eye. 
Mervinia  for  her  hills,  as  for  their  match- 
less ci'owd. 
The  nearest  that  are  suld'to  kiss  the  wand- 
ring  clouds. 
Especial  audience  craves,  offended   with 

the  throng, 
That  she  of  all  the  rest  neglected  was  so 

long; 
Alleging  for  lierself,  when  through  the 

Saxon's  pride. 
The  godlike    race  of  Brute  to  Severn's 

setting  side 
Were  cruelly  inforc'il,  her  mountains  did 

relieve 
Tliose  whom  devouring    war  else  every 

where  did  grieve. 
And  when  all  Wales  beside  (by  fortune 

or  by  might) 
Unto  her  ancient  foe  resign'd  her  ancient 

right, 
A  constant  maiden  still  she  only  did  re- 

main. 
The  last  her  genume  laws  which  stoutly 

did  retain. 
.\nd  as  eacli  one  is  prais'd  for  lier  pecu- 
liar things. 
So  oidy  is  she  rich,  in  mountains,  meres, 

and  springs; 
And  holds  herself  as  great  in  her  super- 

fhious  waste, 
As  others    by  their  towns,   and  fruitful 
tillage  grac'd. 

And  of  fourteen,  as  Chapman's  Homer. 

And  as  the  mind  of  such  a  man,  that  hath 

a  long  way  gone. 
And  either  knoweih    not  his  way,  or  else 

would  let  alone 
His  purpos'd  journey  is  distract.    . 

The  measures  of  twelve  and  f  nirteen 
syllables  were  ofien  mingled  by  our  old 
poets,  sometimes  in  altf  mate  li'ics,  and 
sometiKies  in  alternate  couplets. 

The  verse  f)f  twelve  syllables,  called 
an  JUi'xundrinir,  is  now  only  used  to  di- 
versify heroick  lines.

The  pause  in  tlie  Alexandrine  must  be

Tii'c  verse  of"  fourteen  syllables  is  now 
broken  into  a  soft  lyrick  measure  of  ver- 
ses, coi-isisting-  alternately  of  eight  sylla- 
bles and  six.

We  have  another  measure  very  quick 
and  lively,   and  therefore   much  used  in 
soiu^-s,  vviiicl)  may  be  called  tlie  unupent- 
ick,\n  which  the  accent  rests  upon  eve- 
ry third  syllable. 
May  I  govern  my  plssions  with  absolute 

svvay. 
And  grow   wiser  and  belter  as  life  wears 
away.  Dr.  Pope. 

\\\  thlb  measure  a  syllable  is  often  re- 
trenched from  the  iirst  foot,  as 

Diogenes  siirly  and  proud.      Dr.  Pope. 
When  present,  we  love,  and  wiien  ab- 
sent agree, 
I  think  not  of  I'rls,  nor  Trls  of  me. 

Drydeit. 

These  measures   are   varied  by  many 

combmations,  and  sometimes  by  double 


endings,  either  with  or   without  rhyme, 
as  in  the  heroick  measure. 

'Tis  the  divinity  that  stirs  -within  us, 
*Tis    heaven  itself  that  points  out  an 

herenfter. 
And  intimatesetcrnity  to  man.  Addiaon. 
So  in  that  of  eight  syllables, 

Tliey  neither  added  nor  confounded. 
They  neither  wanted  nor  abounded. 

Prion 
In  tliat  of  seven. 

For  resistance  I  could  fear  none, 

liutwith  twenty  ships  had  do\ie. 
What  thou,  brave  and  happy   \'ernon, 
llastatchiev'd  with  six  alone.  Glover. 
In  that  of  six, 

'I'was  when  the  seas  were  roaring. 

With  hollow  blasts  of  wind, 
A  damsel  lay  deploring. 

Ail  on  a  rock  rcclin'd.  Gay. 

In  tlie  anajieslick. 

When  terrible  tempests  assail  us. 

And  mountainous  billows  affright. 
Nor  power  nor  wealth  can  avail  us, 
But  skilfulindustry  steers  right. 

Ballad. 
To  tliese  measures,  and  their  laws,  may 
be  reduced  every  species  of  Knglish  verse. 
Our  versification  admits  of  few  licenses, 
except  a  spialoepha,  or  elision  of*  in  the 
before  a  vowel,  as  th'  eternal;  and  more 
rarely  of  o  in  to,  as  ('accept;  and  a  syjiivre- 
sis,  liy  which  two  short  vowels  coalesce 
in  to  one  syllable,  as  r/uestio?i,  special;  or 
a  word  is  contracted  b}-  the  expulsion  of 
a  short  vowel  before  a  liquid,  as  avarice, 
temp'j-aiice. 

Thus  have  I  collected  rules  and  exam- 
ples, by  which  the  English  language  may 
be  learned,  if  the  reader  be  already  ac- 
quainted with  grammatical  terms,  or 
taught  by  a  master  to  those  tiiat  are 
more  ignorant.  To  have  written  a  gram- 
mar for  such  as  are  not  yet  initiated  in 
till-  schools,  would  have  been  tedious, 
and  perhaps  al  last  ineffectual.

pet  uliav  sense  of  coldness  upon  the  tongue.  This 
salt  affords,  by  fire,  an  acrid  spirit,  capable  of  dis- 
solving almost  every  thing,  yet  manifests  no  sign 
of  it  in  its  crude  state.  Nitre  is  naturally  blended 
in  jiartidps  in  earths,  as  the  particles  of  metals  in 
their  ores.  'I'he  eai  i  h  from  which  nitre  is  made,  in 
Persia,  is  a  kind  ofyellowish  marl  found  in  the  bare 
cliffs  exposed  to  the  northern  and  eastern  winds> 
From  this  marl  the  salt  is  separated  by  water. 
Earths  of  whatever  kind,  moistened  by  the  dung 
.■ind  execrenient  of  animals,  frequently  affoixl  nitre, 
oil  be-ing  thrown  into  water  and  boiled.  In  France, 
they  make  it  from  old  inoinar  and  plaister.  A  nia- 
nufactor)'  ot  nitre  might  be  establishctl  in  England. 
The  nitrum  or  nitre  of  the  ancients  is  a  salt,  ex- 
tremely different  from  our  nitre,  and  fttnn  all 
other  native  salts;  being  a  fixed  alkali.
