Hot.  Art.  Poo?. 

[  X  HE  faculty  of  speech,  or  the  power  of  expressing  thoughts 
j  by  sounds,  and  of  notifying  the  conceptions  of  the  mind,  by  the 
combinations  of  appropriate  tones  addressed  to  the  ear,  L«  at 
once  the  ornament  and  exclusive  prerogative  of  Man :  it  is  a 
distinction  which,  originating  out  of  the  privilege  of  reason, 
raises  him  much  above  the  brute  creation,  generates  the  bonds 
of  society,  and  produces  all  those  amiable  charit  es  of  human 
life,  which  constitute  its  principal  delight  and  interest. 
Therefore,  in  proportion  as  man  cultivates  this  high  and  ex* 
tensive  power,  his  intercourse  with  others  becomes  more  dig- 
nified, and  his  means  of  attaining  knowledge  for  himself,  much 
more  extended. 

Impressed  with  a  conviction  of  this  truth,  men  have  at  afl 
times  paid  attention  to  this  pre-eminent  gift  of  our  species,  and 
have  cultivated  the  Art  of  Speaking  not  only  as  an  ornamental, 
but  an  useful  accomplishment.  Grammarians  existed  coeval 
With  the  best  writers,  and  Philology  has  been  the  object  of 
the  study  of  the  cleverest  men  in  all  ages.  The  Athenians,  for 
instance,  were  so  strenuously  bent  upon  the  improvement  of  the 
pronunciation  of  their  vernacular  tongue,  that  at  the  least  ex- 
pression dropped  from  the  lips  of  any  Greek,  who  was  not  da 
Athenian,  they  would  discover  him ;  and  the  very  flower-girls 
and  market-women,  of  the  city  of  Minerva,  smiled  at  the  im- 
proper dialect  of  any  man,  who  did  not  add  ess  tLem  in  the 
purest  style  of  Attic  nicety.  The  Romans  paid  the  same  re- 
spect to  their  tongue,  and  a  Varoy  a  Cicero,  a  Quintillutn,  and 


several  others,  whose  genius  could  soar  far  above  tfie  mere  cal- 
culations of  letters,  and  the  irksome  comparison  of  sounds,  did 
tot  disdain  to  bestow  a  great  deal  of  their  time  and  knowledge 
upon  this  branch  of  orthology.  In  our  own  country,  in  parti- 
cular, so  many  eminent  philologists  have  gone  before  us  in  this 
path,  that  little  remains  for  the  Editor  of  a  Pronouncing  Dic- 
tionary of  the  English  Language,but  to  familiarize  the  mind  with 
a  knowledge  already  extant,  with  principles  thoroughly  esta- 
blished, and  to  endeavour,  by  a  more  lucid  arrangement  of 
materials,  to  smooth  the  road  to  the  attainable  perfection  of 
the  science. 

I  Although,  at  first  sight,  such  a  task  might  be  supposed  hum- 
ble, trite,  and  easy,  yet  the  Editor,  by  the  constant  pains  he  has 
taken  to  bring  the  work  to  perfection,  and  the  almost  intermin- 
able difficulties  which  he  met  in  his  way,  is  well  aware  that  such 
a  performance  requires  the  strictest  attention,  and  the  most  in- 
defatigalle  care ;  and  nothing  but  the  success,  which  his  exer- 
tions ensured  to  him,  could  repay  him  for  the  trouble  he  has 
taken.  As  he  cannot  here  boast  of  originality  in  his  concep- 
tions, he  must  build  his  fame  upon  strictness  and  exactitude, 
and  sit  down  content  with  the  conscience  of  having  facilitated 
the  acquisition  of  a  branch  of  knowledge,  worthy  of  the  atten- 
tion of  all  classes  of  society. 

The  first  impression  of  this  work  consisted  of  seven  thousand 
in  number— it  was  sold  off  in  a  few  months.  A  second  edition 
was  soon  prepared,  to  the  number  of  ten  thousand,  and  has 
experienced  as  rapid  a  sale  as  the  former  $  and  this  new  one, 
we  feel  no  hesitation  to  say,  will  have  the  same  success  :  such 
is  the  unbounded  approbation  which  the  public  has  given  to 
this  useful  publication.  Besides,  the  very  flattering  testimo- 
nies, hereunto  annexed,  of  some  of  our  best  Critics,  have  stimu- 
lated our  exertions  to  render  this  new  edition  still  more  worthy 
of  public   patronage.      The  singular  nature   of  the  accents, 


[     v     ] 
directing  to  the  best  approved  pronunciation,  requiring  the 
most  minute  attention  in  every  department,  has  been  scrupul- 
ously attended  to,  and  its  progress  through  the  press  has  been 
proportionably  regarded. 

Every  sheet  has  been  critically  examined  before  it  was  com- 
mitted to  the  press,  and  minutely  corrected  before  its  com- 
pletion. From  local  circumstances  we  have  been  peculiarly 
enabled  to  distinguish  with  precision  the  southern  from  the 
northern  expression  of  the  vowels  ;  and  the  whole  has  been 
modelled  to  the  best  standard  of  our  language.  In  this  edition 
we  have  introduced  the  apostrophe,  where  two  syllables  at  the 
end  of  words  are  usually  contracted  in  pronunciation  into  one, 
and  the  pronouncing  characters  have  been  equally  attended  to  ; 
but  in  all  those  contracted  syllables  where  the  common  accent, 
which  has  been  strictly  regarded,  coincides  with  the  apostrophe, 
the  latter  is  omitted.  Several  pages  of  additional  words  are 
introduced  in  their  proper  places,  precisely  defined  ami  nark- 
ed ;  a  very  few  anomalous  cases  excepted,  which  bid  defiance 
to  all  general  rules,  where  the  nearest  approved  sounds  arc 
specified.  With  these  advantages,  we  feel  confident  that  our 
labours  will  be  properly  appreciated. 

To  this  edition  are  annexed  some  thoughts  on  the  Brit:ah 
empire  and  constitution,  with  a  list  of  cities,  borough*,  and 
market  towns,  and  their  distances  from  the  respective  extre- 
mities of  London,  and  some  other  useful  matters  ;  and  to  the 
whole  are  prefixed  a  concise  table  of  words  of  simjiar  sound, 
and  of  the  usual  abbreviations  occurring  in  printed  books  of 
this  nature.

TESTIMONIES 

Of  Periodical  and  Critical  Publications. 

"  The  obscure  sound  of  the  five  vowels  we  consider  as  a  very  striking  im- 
provement. Of  this  he  gives  specimens  in  all  the  vowels,  though  it  is  nearly 
alike  in  them  all ;  and  it  may  be  understood  to  constitute  a  new  classification 
•f  a  general  principle,  hitherto  but  little  adverted  to  by  writers  on  the  elements 
of  our  vernacular  tongue.  The  mode  of  stating  the  two  sounds  of  th  also, 
though  of  Saxon  origin,  is  both  ingenious  and  useful.  On  the  whole,  this  Dic- 
tionary may  be  justly  recommended  to  all  persons  desirous  of  acquiring  a 
knowledge  of  the  principles  necessary  to  form  a  correct  and  approved  pronun- 
ciation." Gent.  Mag,  July,  1807. 

M  In  a  very  modest  preface,  Mr.  Enfield  observes.  '  that  the  editor  of  such 
a  work  as  this  has  little  to  do,  but  to  familiarize  the  mind  to  knowledge  already 
extant,  and  to  endeavour,  by  a  lucid  arrangement  of  the  materials  of  his  pre- 
decessors,  to  smooth  the  path  of  science.'  Humble  as  such  pretensions  are, 
the  task  is  one  which  requires  the  exercise  both  of  considerable  judgment 
and  of  great  industry  ;  and  it  is  but  common  justice  to  say,  that  Mr.  Enfield' 
has  displayed  both  in  the  compilation  and  arrangement  of  the  useful  little  vo- 
lume before  us."  Anti- Jacobin  Itevierv,  Aug.  J8O7 

"  To  express  by  letters  the  nice  distinction  between  sounds  is  no  easy  task; 
but  in  the  work  before  us,  the  author  has  taken  no  small  pains  in  compilation. 
His  scheme  of  the  vowels  makes  them  comprehend  twenty-two  sounds,  aLd 
that  of  the  consonants  represents  their  powers  to  be  numerous.  Weweiefor 
the  most  part  pleased  with  his  mode  of  pronunciation."

RECOMMENDATIONS. 

THIS  little  Dictionary,  which  is  unequalled  for  its  neatness  and  utility, 
has  been  already  adopted  by  the  following  respectable  Masters  of  Seminaries 
for  the  Instruction  of  Youth  :  and  it  is  with  pleasure  we  add,  that  its  acknow- 
ledged merits  have  introduced  it  into  various  Schools  of  established  reputation 
throughout  the  United  Kingdoms.  We  shall  just  add  the  Names  of  some 
of  the  many  Gentlemen,  who,  apprised  of  its  real  value,  will,  by 'this  Recom- 
mendation, feel  happy  in  promoting  its  utitily  amongst  the  rising  generation

PRGSODIAL 

RULES  AND  INSTITUTES. 


PROSODY  consists  of  two  parts  :  the  one  teaches  the  true  pronunciation  of 
words,  and  the  other  the  laws  of  versification. 

PRONUNCIATION 
is  just  when  every  letter  has  its  proper  sound,  and  when  every  syllable  has  its 
proper  accent. 

lhe  principles  of  pronunciation  are  letters  ;  and  the' elements  or  letters  into 
which  the  words  of  any  language  may  be  analysed,  form  the  necessary  alphabet 
of  that  language 

In  the  English  alphabet  are  twenty-six  letters. 

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz. 

Of  these  letters  there  are  six  vowels,  which,  by  themselves,  each  make,  by 
simply  opening  the  mouth,  a  perfect  sound.  The  remaining  twenty  are  called 
consonants,  which  cannot  be  sounded  without  a  vowel,  and  whose  pronuncia- 
tion depends  on  the  particular  application  and  use  of  every  part  of  the  mouth, 
as  the  teeth,  the  lips,  the  palate,  &c. 

The  several  sounds  of  the  English  voweh  are  exhibited  in  the  following 
scheme :

Observation  on  the  foregoing  Scheme. 

THE  reader  will  notice  that  the  a  marked  short,  thus  K,  has  its  utterance 
lengthened  by  having  the  accent  placed  immediately  after  it — as  in  sha'rp,  bath, 
a'ss,&c.  the  a  is  sensibly  longer  than  in  8sh',  hat',  glad',  &c.  where  the  accent 
follows  the  consonant.  The  same  holds  with  respect  to  short  8.  This  distinc- 
tion should  be  particularly  noted  by  the  consultor  of  this  work- 

In  sounding  i  open  your  mouth  as  wide  as  if  you  were  going  to  pronounce 
the  broad,  obscure,  and  guttural  a,  and  meant  to  sound  that  vowel ;  but  on 
the  first  effort  of  the  voice  for  that  purpose,  check  its  progress  by  a  sudden 
motion  of  the  under  jaw  towards  the  upper,  stopping  it  in  that  situation  iu 
which  the  slender  sound  lis  formed,  and  then  instantly  cutting  off  all  sound. 
Thus  as  the  sound  of  a  is  not  completed,  nor  the  sound  of  I  continued,  there 
results  frorr  the  union  of  the  two  a  third  sound  or  diphthong  which  has  no  re- 
semblance to  either,  and  yet  is  a  compound  of  both.     Sheridan. 

To  form  the  diphthong  ol'  or  of%  it  is  necessary  to  pronounce  the  full  sound 
of  a\  dwelling  some  time  on  that  vowel  before  the  sound  is  intercepted  by  the 
motion  of  the  under  jaw  to  the  position  of  forming  the  slender  sound  5.  and 
then  the  voice  is  instantly  to  cease. — This  diphthong  8Y  or  £?',  differs  from  that 
of  I  only  in  this,  that  the  first  vowel  a'  is  distinctly  heard  before  it  unites  with 
the  latter  vowel  !.    Sheridan. 

To  produce  the  diphthong  ou'  or  b\v',  it  is  necessary  that  there  should  be  the 
greatest  aperture  of  the  mouth,  as  if  it  were  about  to  form  the  sound  a';  but 
before  that  sound  is  comple  ed,  the  organs  are  to  change  to  the  position  of  pro- 
nouncing 6  (or  u),  by  a  rapid  motion  of  the  under  jaw  towards  the  upper,  and  pro- 
truding the  lips  in  the  form  of  sounding  6  (or  u),  at  the  same  time  stopping  tne 
voice  short ;  and  thus,  as  in  the  diphthong  of,  by  having  neither  the  sound  of  the 
former  or  latter  letter  completed,  there  arises,  from  the  coalescence  of  the  two, 
a  third  sound  different  from  both, which  is  the  diphthong  ou'or  ow'.  Sheridan. 
Here  again  the  absence  of  the  accent  shortens  the  sound  a  little. 

Wh  sounds  h6  or  hu  before  a,  e,  i,  u,  y. 

Wh  sounds  only  like  aspirated  h  before  o  and  oo. 

When  a  letter  is  to  be  silent,  the  same  is  left  out  in  the  representation  of  the 
sounds  to  be  given  to  each  syllable;  the  silent  e only  is  often  characterised  by 
being  an  Italic  e  at  the  end  of  a  syllable,  instead  of  being  a  Roman  e.  lest,  where 
that  si  ent  e  serves  to  prolong  the  syllable,  the  absence  of  this  final  e  should  de- 
ceive ihe  eye. 

Oftentimes  y  without  any  mark  over  it,  because  its  sound  gen'ly  slides  into 
that  of  the  next  vowel,  will  he  found  in  this  dictionary,  as  in  Sheridan's  quarto. 
From  this  it  will  be  inferred,  that  this  y  does  not  form  of  itself  a  syllable  :  for 
instance  in  grammarian,  marked  gram-ma  ry an,  one  is  given  to  understand 
that  the  sound  of  the  word  consists  only  of  three  syllables  from  the  i  being 
changed  into  a  coalescing.^. — There  aie,  however,  many  words  in  which  the 
i  actually  forms  a  syllable  of  its  own  before  another  vowel,  though  that  syllable 
be  a  very  short  one ;  and  it  will  generally  form  such  a  syllable  when  the  i  is 
preceded  by  blt  cl,  dl,&c.  or  by  br,  cr,  dr,  &c.

*  Though  this  will  sometimes  hold  good,  it  has  neither  been  frequently  used 
in  these  pages,  nor  do  we  think  that  a  general  use  of  this  hard  sound  would 
suit  a  modern  English  ear.  At  least  it  should  certainly  be  received  with 
much  caution.     Editor. 

t  This  sound  of/  for  gh  is  but  sparingly  used,  and  should  be  well  at- 
tended to  before  it  is  admitted.  In  the  word  dough,  for  instance,  we  have 
another  sound,  viz.  of  w,  and  some  other  anomalous  cases,  perhaps,  may  be 
met  with.     Editor. 

t  There  has  been  great  diversity  of  opinion  on  the  proper  sound  of  schism 
and  schedule,  some  contending  that  they  ought  to  be  pronounced  as  in  this 
synopsis,  whilst  others  maintain  that  the  third  sound  only  should  be  admitted. 
Mr.  Walker  has  enumerated  them ;  and  seems  to  conclude  for  resolving  the 
second  into  the  first  sound,  though  we  have  kept  them  distinct.     Editor.

n,  after  e  or  o  contracted,  is  uttered  somewhat  through  the  nose,  so  that  its 
sound  becomes  obscure,  as  in  heav'n,  person,  for  heaven,  person. 

P  is  sometimes  silent,  as  in  ysalm. 

Ph  is  sometimes  silent,  as  in  phthisic. 

On  the  Organic  Formation  of  the  English  Language. 

Extracted  from  Dr.  Crombie's  Etymology,  ^c.  of  the  English  Language. 

CONSONANTS  are  generally  divided  into  mutes  and  semi-vowels.  The 
mutes  are  those,  which  entirely,  and  at  once,  obstruct  the  sound  of  the  vowei, 
and  prevent  its  continuation.  These  are  called  perfect  mutes.  Those,  which 
do  not  suddenly  obstruct  it,  are  called  imperfect  mutes. 

Semi-vowels  are  those  consonants  which  do  not  entirely  obstruct  the  voice, 
bat  whose  sounds  may  be  continued  at  pleasure,  thus  partaking  of  the  nature 
of  vowels. 

The  nature  of  these  consonants  I  proceed  briefly  to  explain, 

A  vowel  sound  may  be  continued  at  pleasure,  or  it  may  be  terminated,  either 
by  discontinuing  the  vocal  effort,  in  which  case  it  is  not  articulated  by  any  con- 
sonant, as  in  pronouncing  the  vowel  o;  or  by  changing  the  conformation  of 

•  Opinions  vary  about  this  sound  of  x  in  several  words,  some  contending 
for  the  softer  sound  of  ks,  whilst  others,  from  a  provincial  partiality  in  many 
cases,  at  least,  espouse  the  harder  sound  of  gz.  Some  of  these  have  been 
softened  in  the  present  edition,  whilst  others  have  been  retained;  for  which  we 
can  only  assign  the  general  reason  in  our  preface.    Editor, 


[    xi    1 

the  mouth,  or  relative  position   of  the  organs  of  speech,  so  that  the  vowel 
sound  is  lost  by  articulation,  as  in  pronouncing  the   syllable  or.    It  is  to  be 
observed  also,  that  a  vowel  maybe  articulated,  not  only  by  being  terminated 
by  a  consonant,  as  in  the  example  now  given,  but  likewise  by  introducing  the 
sound  with  that  position  of  the  organs,  by  which  it  had,  in  the  former  case,  been 
terminated,  as  in  pronouncing  the  syllable  ro.  ...  .  .  , 

In  pronouncing  the  consonants,  there  are  five  distinguishable  portions  of 
the  organs.  I  he  first  is  the  application  of  the  lips  to  each  other,  so  as  to  close 
the  mouth.     Thus  are  formed  the  consonants  p,  b.  and  m 

In  the  second  position,  the  under  lip  is  ai  plied  to  the  fore  teeth  of  the  upr  er 
jaw;  and  in  this  manner  we  pronounce  the  consonant  standi;. 

The  third  position  is,  when  the  tongue  is  applied  to  the  fore  teeth  ;  and  thus 
we  pronounce  th. 

In  the  fourth  position  we  apply  the  fore  part  of  the  tongue  to  the  fore  part 
of  the  palate;  and  by  this  application  we  pronounce  the  letters  ty  d,  s,  z, 
r,  I,  n. 

The  fifth  position  is,  when  the  middle  part  of  the  tongue  is  applied  to  the 
palate,  and  thus  we  pronounce  /c,  the  hard  sound  of  g,  (as  in  go)  sh,  J, 
and  ng. 

In  the  first  position  we  have  three  letters,  of  which  the  most  simple,  and 
indeed  the  only  articularor,  being  absolutely  mute,  is  p.  In  the  formation  of 
this  letter,  nothing  is  required  but  the  sudden  closingof  the  mouth,  and  stop- 
ping the  vowel  sound;  or  the  sound  may  be  articulated  by  the  sudden  open- 
ing of  the  lips,  in  order  to  emit  the  compressed  sound  of  the  vowel. 

Now  if,  instead  of  simply  expressing  the  vowel  sound  by  opening  the  lips, 
in  saying,  for  example,  pa,  we  shall  begin  to  form  a  guttural  sound,  the  posi- 
tion being  still  preserved  ;  then,  on  the  opening  the  lips,  we  shall  pronounce 
the  syllable  ba.  The  guttural  sound  is  produced  by  a  compt  ession  of  the  larynx, 
or  windpipe,  and  is  that  kind  of  murmur,  as  Bishop  W  ilk  ins  expresses  it, 
which  is  heard  in  the  throat,  before  the  breath  is  emitted  with  the  vocal  sound. 
B,  therefore,  though  justly  considered  as  a  mute,  is  not  a  perfect  mute. 

The  mouth  being  kept  in  the  same  position,  and  the  breath  being  emitted 
through  the  nostrils,  the  letier  m  is  produced. 

In  the  first  position,  therefore,  we  have  a  perfect  mute  p,  having  no  audi- 
ble sound;  a  labial  and  liquid  consonant  tn,  capable  of  a  continued  sound; 
and,  between  these  two  extremes,  we  have  the  letter  b,  somewhat  audible, 
though  different  from  any  vocal  sound 

Here  then  are  three  things  to  be  distinguished.  1st.  The  perfect  mute, 
having  no  sound  of  any  kind.  2dly  The  perfect  consonant,  having  not  only 
a  proper,  but  continued  sound:  and  3dly,  Between  these  extremes  we  find 
the  letter  b,  having  a  proper  sound,  but  so  limited,  that,  in  respect  to  the 
-perfect  consonant,  it  may  be  termed  a  mute,  and  in  relation  to  the  perfect 
mute,  may  be  properly  termed  imperfect. 

In  the  second  position  we  have  che  letters  f  and  t>,  neither  of  which  are 
perfect  mutes.  The  letter  f  is  formed  by  having  the  aspiration  not  altoge- 
ther interrupted,  but  emitted  forcibly  between  the  foie  teeth  and  under  lip. 
This  is  the  simple  articulation  in  this  position.  If  to  this  we  join  the  gut- 
tural sound,  we  shall  have  the  letter  v,  a  letter  standing  in  nearly  the  same 
relation  to/1,  as  b  and  w,  in  the  first  position,  stand  top.  The  only  differ- 
ence between  f  and  v  is,  that,  in  the  former,  the  compression  of  the  teeth 
and  under  lip  is  not  so  strong  as  in  the  latter,  and  that  the  former  is  pro- 
duced by  the  breath  only,  and  the  latter  by  the  voice  and  breath  combined. 

The  consonant  f>  therefore,  though  not  a  mute  like  p,  in  having  the 
breath  absolutely  confined,  may  notwithstanding  be  considered  as  such,  con- 
sistently with  that  principle,  by  which  a  mute  is  understood  to  be  an  aspira- 
tion without  guttural  sound. 

Agreeably  to  the  distinction  already  made,  v  may  be  termed  a  perfect 
consonant,  and  f  an  imperfect  one,  having  no  proper  sound,  though 
audibie.    Thus  we  have  four  distinctions  of  consonants   in   our   alphabet, 


[     xii     ]     . 

namely,  of  perfect  and  imperfect  consonants ;  perfect  and  imperfect  mutes  I 
thus. 

p  is  a  perfect  mute, having  no  sound. 

b  an  imperfect  mute,  having  proper  sound,  but  limited. 

on  a  perfect  consonant,  having  sound,  and  continued. 

/  an  imperfect  consonant,  having  no  sound,  but  audible. 

In  the  third  position  we  have  th  as  heard  in  the  words  then  and  thin 
formed  by  placing  the  tip  of  the  tongue  between  the  teeth,  and  pressing  it 
against  the  upper  teeth.  The  only  difference  between  these  articulations'3 is 
that,  like  ./and  v,  the  one  is  formed  by  the  breath  only,  and  the  other  by  the 
breath  and  voice  together.  The  sound  of  th,  in  thin,  is  usually  marked  with 
a  stroke  through  the  h,  like  the  Saxon,  to  distinguish  it  from  its  other  sound 
as  in  thick. 

Here  also  may  be  distinguished  the  perfect  and  the  imperfect  consonant  • 
for  the  th  in  thin  has  no  sound,  but  is  audible,  whereas  the  th  in  this,  there 
has  a  sound,  and  that  continued. 

In  the  fourth  position  there  are  several  consonants  formed. 

1st.  If  the  breath  be  stopped,  by  applying  the  fore  part  of  the  tongue  forcibly 
to  that  part  of  the  palate  which  is  contiguous  to  the  fore  teeth,  we  produce 
the  perfect  mute  t,  having  neither  aspiration  or  guttural  sound.  By  accom- 
panying this  operation  of  the  tongue  and  palate  with  the  guttural  sound,  we 
shall  pronounce  the  letter  d,  which,  like  b  of  the  first  position,  may  be  consi- 
dered as  a  mute,  though  not  perfect.  For  in  pronouncing  ed  the  tongue  at 
first  gently  touches  the  gum,  and  is  gradually  pressed  clo3er,  till  the  sound  is 
obstructed;  whereas  in  pronouncing  et,  the  tongue  is  at  once  pressed  so  close 
that  the  sound  is  instantly  intercepted. 

2dly,  If  the  tip  of  the  tongue  be  turned  up  towards  the  upper  gum,  so  as  not 
to  touch  it,  and  thus  the  breath  be  cut  by  the  sharp  point  of  the  tongue, 
passing  through  the  narrow  chink  left  between  that  and  the  gum,  we  pro- 
nounce the  sibilating  sound  of  s.  If  we  accompany  this  operation  with  a 
guttural  sound,  as  in  b,  v,andlhiti  then,  we  shall  pronounce  the  letter  z\ 
the  same  difference  subsisting  between  s  and  z  as  between  /and  v>  p  and  6* 
th  and  th. 

3dly,  If  we  make  the  tip  of  the  tongue  vibrate  rapidly  between  the  upper 
and  lower  jaw,  so  as  not  to  touch  the  latter,  and  the  former  but  gent'y,  we 
shall  pronounce  the  letter  r.  The  more  closely  and  forcibly  the  tongue 
vibrates  against  the  upper  jaw,  the  stronger  will  the  sound  he  rendered.  It  is 
formed  about  the  same  distance  from  the  teeth,  as  the  letter  d,  or  rather  some- 
what behind  it. 

4thly,  If  the  end  of  the  tongue  be  gently  applied  to  the  fore  part  of  the 
palate,  a  little  behind  the  seat  of  the  letter  d,  and  somewhat  before  the  place 
of  r,  and  the  voice  be  suffered  to  glide  gently  over  the  sides  of  the  tongue,  we 
shall  pronounce  the  letter  I.  Here  the  breadth  of  the  tongue  is  contracted, 
and  a  space  left  for  the  breath  to  pass  from  the  upper  to  the  under  part  of  the 
tongue,  in  forming  this  the  most  vocal  of  all  the  consonants. 

5thly,  If  the  aspirating  passage,  in  the  formation  of  the  preceding  conso- 
nant,  be  stopped,  by  extending  the  tongue  to  its  natural  breadth,  so  as  to  in- 
tercept the  voice,  and  prevent  its  exit  by  the  mouth,  the  breath  emitted 
through  the  nose  will  give  the  letter  n. 

In  the  fifth  position,  namely,  when  we  apply  the  middle  or  back  part  of  the 
tongue  to  the  palate,  we  have  the  consonants  k,g.  sh,j,  and  )tg. 

If  the  middle  of  the  tongue  be  raised,  so  as  to  press  closely  against  the 
roof  of  the  mouth,  and  iniercept  the  voice  at  once,  we  pronounce  the  letter 
k  (e/c).  If  the  tongue  be  not  so  closely  applied  at  first,  and  the  sound  be 
allowed  to  continue  a  ittle,  we  have  the  letter  g  (eg).  Thus  ek  and  eg  bear 
the  same  analogy  to  each  other,  as  et  and  ed  of  the  fourth  position.  If  the 
tongue  be  protruded  towards  the  teeth,  so  as  not  to  touch  them,  and  be  kept 
itt  a  position  somewhat  flatter  than  in  pronouncing  the  letter  s,  the  voice  anil 


t    xiii    ] 

breath  passing  over  it  through  a  wider  chink,  we  shall  have  the  sound  of 
esh. 

If  we  apply  the  tongue  to  the  palate  as  in  pronouncing  sh,  but  a  little  more 
forcibly,  and  accompanying  it  with  the  guttural  sound,  we  shall  have  the 
sound  of  the  Fr^-nchj.  Thus  j  is  in  this  position  analagous  to  the  letter  b, 
v,  th  in  the  first,  second,  and  third  positions,  and  is  a  simple  consonant.  J  in 
English  is  a  douhle  consonant,  compounded  ofd  and  the  French  j,  as  in  join. 

U  we  raise  the  middle  of  the  tongue  to  the  palate  gently,  so  as  to  permit 
part  of  the  voice  to  issue  through  the  mouth,  forcing  the  remainder  back, 
through  the  noose,  keeping  at  the  same  time  the  tongue  in  the  same  position  at 
in  pronouncing  eg,  we  shall  have  the  articulating  sound  of  ir/g,  for  which  we 
have  no  simple  character. 

'lhe  only  remaining  letter  k  is  the  note  of  aspiration,  formed  in  various 
positions,  according  to  the  vowel  with  which  it  is  combined. 

What  effect  the  compression  of  the  larynx  has  in  articulation,  may  be  seen 
by  comparing  these  pairs  of  consonants.

OF  ACCENT. 

Having  thus  given  what  we  deem  the  best  authorities  as  to  the  sounds 
of  the  letters,  we  shall  insert  the  following  short  rules  for  the  accent,  or  quan- 
tity of  syllables,  by  Dr.  Johnson  ;  which,  though  subject  to  exception,  are, 
perhaps,  the,  best  suited  to  the  comprehension  of  the  uniformed  student  of 
any  extant,  on  a  subject  so  complicated,  and  where  so  much,  after  all  the 
rules  that  ran  be  given,  must  depend  on  the  compass  and  capacity  of  the  voice 
of  the  speaker. 

Accent  is  the  laying  a  peculiar  stress  of  the  voice  on  a  certain  letter  or 
syllable  in  a  word,  that  it  may  be  better  heard  than  the  rest,  or  distinguished 
from  i hem;  as  in  the  word  presume,  the  stress  of  the  voice  must  be  on  the 
letter  u.  and  second  s\  liable  sume,  which  takes  the  accent. 

Every  woid  of  our  language,  of  more  than  one  syllable,  has  one  of  them 
distinguished  from  the  rest  in  this  manner;  and  every  monosyllable  of  two  or 
more  letters  has  one  of  its  letters  thus  distinguished. 

As  emphasis  is  a  stronger  and  fuller  sound  of  voice,  by  whieh  we  distin- 
guish some  word  or  words  on  which  we  design  to  lay  particular  stress,  to  shew 
how  they  affeci  the  rest  of  the  sentence,  so ,  where  other  reasons  do  not  forbid, 
the  accent  always  dwells  with  greatest  force  on  that  part  of  the  word  which, 
from  its  importance,  the  hearer  has  always  the  greatest  occasion  to  ob- 
serve 

OF  DISSYLLABLES. 

Of  Dissyllables,  formed  by  affixing  a  termination,  the  former  syllable  is 
commonly  accented,  a&childuh,  kingdom,,  a'c'ed,  toilsome,  lo'vers,  cdffer, 
fa'irer,  fo'rei/'ost,  ze'atous, fulness,  godly,  ine'ekly,<t'rtist. 

Dissyllables  formed  by  prefixing  a-  syllable  to  the  radical  word,  have  com* 
manly  the  accent  on  the  latter;  as,  to  bege't,  to  beseem,  to  bestow., 

b 


[  ™  1 

Of  Dissyllables,  which  are  at  once  nouns  and  verbs,  the  verb  has  com- 
monly the  accent  on  the  latter,  and  the  noun  on  the  former  syllable;  as  to 
desca'nt,  a  descant ;  to  cemt'nt,  a  ce'mcnt ;  to  contract,  a  co'/dract.  This 
rule  has  many  exceptions.  Though  verbs  seldom  nave  their  accent  on  the 
former,  yet  nouns  often  have  it  on  the  latter  syllable;  as  delight,  perfume. 

All  dissyllables  ending  in  y,  as  cranny;  in  our,  as  labour,  Javour  in 
ow,  as  willorv  ;  toa'llow,  except  allow  ;  in  Ic,  as  battle,  bible ,  in  ?sh,  as  banith  ; 
inch,  as  ca'mbrick,  cassock;  in  ter,  a«  to  baiter;  in  age,  as  courage;  in 
en,  us  fatten  ;  in  et,  as  quiet,  accent  the  former  syllable. 

Dissyllable  nouns  in  er,  as  canker,  butter,  have  the  accent  on  the  former 
syllable. 

Dissyllable  verbs  terminating  in  a  consonant  and  e  final,  as  comprise, 
escape,  or  having  a  dipthong  in  the  last  syllable,  as  appease,  leit'al,  or 
ending  in  two  consonants,  as  ntte'nd  ;  have  the  accent  on  the  latter  syllable. 

Dissyllable  uouns  having  a  dipthong  in  the  latter  syllable,  have  com- 
monly their  accent  on  the  latter  syllable,  as  appla'u&ei  except  words  m 
ain,  as  cc'rtain,  mo'untain. 


OF  TRISSYLLABLES. 

Trissyllables  formed  by  adding  a  termination,  or  prefixing  a  syllable,  re« 
tain  the  accent  of  the  radical  word  ;  as  loveliness,  te'ndernos,  contemner, 
tvu'ggoner,  physical,  bespa'tter, comme'nling,  commending,  a^su'i ance. 

Ttissyllabies  ending  in  ous,  as  gracious,  a'rduous;  in  al,  as  ca'pital ;  in 
ion,  as  mention,  accent  the  first. 

Trissyllables  ending  in  ce,  ent,  and  ate,  accent  the  fist  syllable,  as 
co'unlenunce,  continence,  u'nndment,  imminent,  e'legant,  propagate,  ex- 
cept they  be  derived  from  words  having  the  accent  on  the  last,  as  comii'vance, 
acquaintance;  or  the  middle  syllable  hath  a  vowel  between  two  consonants, 
*s  promulgate. 

Trissyllables  ending  in  y,  as  entity,  specify,  liberty,  victory,  subsidy, 
commonly  accent  the  first  syilabie. 

Ttissyllabies  in  le  or  re  accent  the  first  syllable,  as  le'gible,  the'atre,  ex- 
cept disciple,  and  words  which  are  long  by  po-.it ?on,  as  exa'mple,  epistle. 

Trissyllables  in  ucie,  commonly  accent  the  first  syllable,  as  plenitude. 

Trissyllables  ending  in  ator,  as  creator  ;  or  having  in  the  middle  syllable 
a  dipthong,  as  endeavour;  or  a  vowel  before  two  consonants,  as  dome'slic, 
accent  the  middle  syllable. 

Trissyllables  that  have  their  accent  on  the  last  syllable  are  commonly 
French,  as  acquie'sce,  repartee,  magazine;  or  words  formed  by  prefixing 
one  or  two  syllables  to  an  acute  syllable,  as  immatu're,  overcharge. 


OF  POLYSYLLABLES. 

Polysyllables  or  words  of  more  than  three  syllables,  fol'ow  the  accent  of 
the  words  from  which  they  are  derived,  as  abrogating,  co'ntinency,  incon- 
tinently, commendable,  commu'nicable.ness.  We  should  therefore  say  dis- 
putable, indisputable,  rather  than  disputable,  indisputable,  and  udver* 
ti'sementt  rather  than  advertisement. 

Words  in  ion  have  the  accent  on  the  antepenult,  as  salvt'tion,  pertur- 
ha'tion,  conco'ction,  words  in  atour,  orator,  on  the  penult,  as  dedicator. 

Words  ending  in  le  commonly  have  the  accent  on  the  first  syllable  as 
a'miable,  unless  the  second  syllable  has  a  vowel  before  two  consonants,  as 
combustible. 

Words  ending  in  ous  have  the  accents  on  the  antepenult,  as  uxo'rious, 
volu'ptuous. 

Words  ending  in  ty  have  their  accent  on  the  antepenult,  nspus&illanimity, 
activity.

OF  VERSIFICATION. 

VERSIFICATION  is  the  arrangement  of  a  certain  number  of  syllables, 
according;  to  certain  laws  established  in  a  language  by  frequent  repetition,  the 
harmony  of  which  consists  in  a  pleasing  variety  of  accented  and  unaccented 
syllables,  which,  connected  form  a  foot.  They  are  called  feet,  because  it  is  by 
their  aid  that  the  voice,  as  it  were,  steps  alone  throuch  the  verse,  in  a  mea- 
sured pace;  and  it  is  ne;essary  that  the  syllables,  which  mark  this  regular 
movement  of  the  voice,  should,  in  some  manner,  be  distinguished  from  the 
others.  This  distinction  was  made  among  the  Greeks  and  Romans,  by  dividing 
their  syllables  into  long  and  short,  and  ascertaining  their  quantity  by  an  exact 
proportion  of  time  in  sounding  ihem ;  the  long  being  to  the  short  as  two  to 
one,  and  the  long  syllables,  being  thus  the  more  important,  marked  the 
movement.  In  English,  syllables  are  divided  into  accented  and  unaccented; 
and  the  accented  syllables,  being  as  strongly  distinguished  from  the  unac- 
cented, by  the  peculiar  stress  of  the  voice  upon  them,  are  equally  capable  of 
marking  the  movement,  and  pointing  out  the  regular  paces  of  the  voice,  as  the 
long  syllables  were,  by  their  quantity,  among  the  ancients. 

Ail  leet  used  in  poetry  consist  either  of  two,  or  of  three  syllables,  and 
are  reducible  to  eisht  kinds  ;  four  of  two  syllables,  viz.  a  Trochee,  an  Iambus, 
a  Spondee ;  a  Pyrrhic ;  and  four  of  three  syllables,  viz.  a  Dactyl,  an 
Amphibrach,  an  Anapoest,  and  a  Tribrach, 

A  Trochee  has  the  first  syllable  accented,  and  the  last  unaccented ;  as, 
M  Hateful,  pettish/ 

An  Iambus  has  the  first  syllable  unaccented,  and  the  last  accented;  as 
"  Betray,  consist." 

A  Spondee  has  both  the  words  or  syllables  accented.  No  word  of  two 
syllables  is  without  accent,  or  with  a  double  one  in  English  ;  as,  "  The  pale 
moon."' 

.  A  Pyrrhic  has  both  the  words   or   syllables  unaccented ;  as,  "  bn  the* 
tall  tree." 

A  D  ictyh  tau  Lhe  first  syllable  accented,  and  the  two  latter  unaccented: 
as,  "  Labourer,  posstblg." 

An  Amphibrach  has  the  first  and  last  syllables  unaccented;  and  the 
middle  one  accented :  as,  "  Delightful,  domestic.'' 

An  Anapa&t  has  the  tv/o  first  syllables  unaccented,  and  the  last  accented  : 
*>s,  "  Contravene,  acquiesce." 

A  Tribrach  has  three  syllables  unaccented:  as,  "  Nume'rXble',  conquerable." 

Some  of  these  feet  may  be  denominated  principal  feet ;  as  pieces  of  poe- 
try may  be  wholly  or  chiefly  formed  of  any  of  them.  Such  are  the  Trochee, 
Iambus,  Dactyl,  and  Anapa?st,  which  we  shall  endeavour  to  sxplain.  The 
others  may  be  termed  secondary  feet;  because  their  chief  use  is  to  diversify 
4he  numbers,  and  to  improve  the  verse. 

IAMBIC  verses  may  be  divided  into 
several  species,  according  to  the  num- 
ber of  feet  or  syllables  of  which  they 
are  composed. 

The  first  form  of  our  Iambic  which 
viz  shall  notice  is  too  short  to  be  con- 
tinued  through  any   great   number  of 
lines.     It  consists  of  two  Iambuses. 
What  placets  here! 
What  scenes  appear  ! 
To  me  the  rose 
No  longer  glows. 
The  second  form   consists  of    three 
Iambuses. 


Yn  place's  far  Or  near, 
Or  famous  or  obscure, 
Where  wholesome  is  the  air. 
Or  where  the  most  impure. 
The  third  form  is  made  up  of  four 
Iambuses.

The  fourth  species  of  English  Iambic 
consists  of  five  Iambuses.

[     *vi     ] 


A  heap  of  dust  alone  remains  of  thee  : 
>Tis  all   Ihou  art,   and   all  the  proud 

shall  be. 

This  is  called  the  Heroic  measure. 
In  its  simplest  form  it  consists  of  five 
Iambuses ;  but  by  the  admission  of 
other  feet,  as  Trochees,  Dactyls,  Ana- 
pasts,  &c.  it  is  capable  of  many  varie- 
ties. Indeed,  most  of  the  English 
common  measures  may  be  varied  in 
the  same  way  ;  but  it's  a  sort  of  licence 
which  good  authors  have  very  seldom, 
if  ever,  availed  themselves  of  in  works 
of  a  serious  nature. 

The  sixth  foim  of  our  Iambic  is  com- 
monly called  the  Alexandrine  measure. 
It  consists  of  six  Iambuses. 
For  thou  art  but  bf  dust  j    be*  humble" 

and  be  wise. 

In  all  these  measures  the  accents  are 
to  be  placed  on  even  syllables  ;  and 
every  line  considered  by  itself  is,  in 
general,  more  melodious,  as  this  rule 
is  more  strictly  observed. 

We  must  add,  that  in  imitation  of 
the  ancients,  our  best  authors  have  in- 
troduced the  caesure  in  the  Heroic  and 
Alexandrine  verse  ;  it  is  a  pause  or  rest 
which  is  consistent  with  the  sense  of 
the  phrase,  and  always  conducive  to  its 
harmony.— In  the  line  of  five  or  ten  syl- 
lables this  rest  occurs,  generally  af- 
ter the  second  foot,  or  fourth  syllable, 
as  in  the  following  example  : 
**  Oh !  spare  my  youth]  and  for  the  life 

I  owe 
Large  gifts  of  price]  my  father  shall  be- 
stow ; 
When  fame  shall  tell]  that  not  in  battle 

slain 
Thy  hollow  ships]  his  captive  son  de- 
tain.'' 

Pope's  Iliad,  B.  vi.  57- 

But  the  caesure  changes  often  its 
place,  and  may  be  found  after  the  third 
and  even  the  fourth  foot,  as  for  instance: 
*•  He   said  :    compassioa   touch'dj  the 

Hero's  heart. 

Loc.  cit. 
u  Scarce  had  his  faulchion  cut  the  reins  ] 

and  freed 
The  incumber'd  chariot  from  the  dying 

steed." 

Pope's  Iliad.  B.  viii. 

However,  this  liberty  should  not  be 
taken  too  often,  and  only  when  the 
harmony  of  the  verse  requires  it. 


Besides  this,  our  versification  admits 
of  few  licences  ,  among  which  we  may 
rank  the  following. 

The  synalapka ,  or  elision  of  e  in  the 
before  a  vowel,  as,  tW  eternal ;  and 
sometimes  but  rarely  of  o  in  to,  as, 
V  accept. 

TROCH  AIC  verse  is  of  several  kinds. 

The  shortest  Trochaic  verse  in  our 
language,  consists  of  one  Trochee  and 
a  long  syllabic 

Truest  love, 
From  above, 
Being  pure, 
Wiil  endure. 

This  measure  is  defective  in  dignity, 
and  can  seldom  be  used  on  serious 
occasions. 

The  second  English  form  of  the  Tro- 
chaic consists  of  two  feet  ;  an  i  is  like- 
wise so  brief,  that  it  is  rarely  used  for 
any  "ery  serious  purpose, 
on  the  mountain, 
By  a  fountain. 

It  sometimes  contains  two  feet  or 
trochees,  and  an  additional  long  sylla- 
ble ;  as, 

in  the  days  bf  old 
Fables  plainly  told. 

The  third  species  consists  of  three 
trochees;  as, 

When  bur  hearts  are  mdurafng  ; 
or  of  three  trochees  with  an  additional 
long  syllable  ;  as, 

Restless  mortals  toil  for  nought; 

Bliss  in  vain  from  earth  is  sought  : 

The  fourth  Trochaic  species  consists 
of  four  trochees;  as, 

Round  os  roars  the  tempest  louder. 

The  fifth  Trochaic  species  is  uncom- 
mon. It  is  composed  of  five  trochees, 
all  that  walk  bn  foot  br  ride  tn  oharibts. 
All  that  dwell  in  palaces  or  garrets. 

The  sixth  form  of  the  English  trochaic 
consists  of  six  trochees  ,  as, 
on  &    mountain,    stretch* d    beneath    & 

hoar1?  willbw. 
Lay  a  shepherd  swain,  and  view'd  tht 

rolling  billow. 

This  seems  to  be  the  longest  tro- 
chaic line  that  our  language  admits. 

In  all  these  trochaic  measures,  the 
accent  is  to  be  placed  on  the  odd  syl- 
lables. 

The  DACTYLIC  measure  being  very 
uncommon,  we  shall  give  only  one  ex* 
ample  of  one  species  of  it; 


C    **H    ] 


From  the*  Ww  pleasure*  8f  this  f  alllm 

nature 
Rise  we  to  higher,  &c. 

'AN  A  P^STIC  verses  are  divided  into 
several  species,  the  first  and  simplest  of 
which  is  made  up  of  two  anapaests;  as, 
Btit  his  courage  'gfcn  fail, 
For  no  arts  could  avail. 
The  second  species  consists  of  three 
anapaests. 

fcye'  woods,  spread  ytfur  branches  Space; 
To  your  deepest  recesses  I  fly ; 

The  preceding  are  the  different  kinds  of  the  principal  feet,  in  their  mor* 
simple  forms.  They  are  capable  of  numerous  variations,  by  the  intermixtur* 
of  those  feet  with  each  other,  and  by  the  admission  of  the  secondary  feet,  by 
which  two  short  vowels  coalesce  into  one  syllable,  as  question,  special ;  or 
when  a  word  is  contracted  by  the  expulsion  of  a  short  vowtl  before  a  liquid, 
as  av'rice,  temp'rance. 


I  would   hide   with  the  beasts  of  the 
chace ; 
I  -would  vanish  from  every  eye. 
This  is  a  very  pleasing  measure,  and 
much  used,  both  in  solemn  and  cheer- 
ful subjects. 

The  third  kind  of  the  English  ana- 
paestic, consists  of  four  anapaests. 
May  1  govern  my  passions  with  abso- 
lute sway, 
And  grow    wiser    and   better   as    life 
wears  away. 


OF  DERIVATION. 

TN  order  that  the  English  Language  may  be  more  easily  understood,  as  well 
as  to  give  a  key  by  which  the  student  may  form  any  derivative,  or  class  of  de- 
rivatives, that  may  be  omitted  in  this  Dictionary,  we  think  it  necessary  to 
enquire  how  this  description  of  words  are  deduced  from  their  primitives,  and 
point  out  the  obvious  rules  by  which  they  not  only  are  formed,  but  by  which 
their  meanings  may  easily  be  discovered,  and  their  true  pronunciations  acquired. 


OF  SUBSTANTIVES. 

Nouns,  or  Substantives,  are  derived  from  verbs ;  as,  from  to  love,  comet 
love  ;  to  fright,  a  fright ;  to  strike,  a  stroke,  &c.  &c. 

Several  philologists  and  grammarians  are  inclined  to  think  that  on  the-,  con- 
trary,  verbs  are  derived  from  substantives,  and  this  seems  to  be  the  most  plau- 
sible opinion — as  to  love  is  to  do  or  make  love  ;  to  work,  to  do  or  make  zcork, 
ice.  besides  names  for  things  must  have  been  inveuted  before  names  for  att» 
ing;  as  they  first  caught  the  eye,  and  called  on  the  mind  for  a  definition. 

The  more  usual  sorts  of  derived  substantives,  or  nouns,  are  Diminutive 
Nouns,  Abstract  Noims,  Verbal  Substantives  of  thet  Actor,  Verbal  Substan- 
tives  of  the  Action ;  Nouns  that  signify  Office,  Nouns  that  signify  Dominion 
or  Rule,  and  Nouns  that  signify  State  or  Condition. 

Diminutive  Nouns  express  the  same  as  their  primitive  substantives,  with 
the  adjective  little,  and  they  are  formed  by  adding  the  terminations  kin,  (kin), 
ling  (ling,  ock, (bk),  en  (en),  el  (el),  &c.  as  lamb,  lumkin;  goose,  gosling  ; 
duck,  duckling ;  hill,  hillock;  chick,  chicken;  cock,  cockerel,  &c. 

Abstract  Substantives  are  regularly  formed  by  adding  the  termination  ness 
(nes).  (which  denotes  the  quality  or  state  of  what  the  preceding  word  expres 
sci)  to  the  adjective,  as  good,  goodness  ;  kind,  kindness;  and  sometimes  they 
end  in  th  (th),  as  length  from  long  ;  strength  from  strong  ;  wealth  from  wgiki. 
Abstract  Nouns  borrowed  from  the  Latin  end  variously,  as  justice,  fortitude, 
liberty.  Arc. 

The  Substantives  of  the  Actor  or  Doer  are  derived  from  verbs,  and  denote 
the  mic  or  habit  of  doing  wh*t  the  verb  from  which  they  are  formed  expresses. 
They  are  generally  formed  by  adding  the  termination  er  (er)  to  the  verb,  as 

bl 


[    xViii    ] 

teach,  teacher ;  play,  player,  &c. ;  but.  in  words  borrowed  from  the  Latin  we 
usually  keep  the  Latin  termination  or  (or),  as  in  doctor,  governor,  orator,  kc. 

Substantives  signifying;  tiction,  as  separated  from  the  agent  or  doer  are  re- 
gularly formed  in  English  by  adding;  the  termination  ing  (Tng),  to  the  verb,  as 
preach,  preaching;  pray,  pi  ayii<g ;  sing,  singing;  learn,  learning;  read, 
reading,  &c.  Some  end  in  mcnt  (m^nt),  age  v£dzh),  once  (ens>,  ery,  CerV), 
&c. ;  as  commandment,  tillage,  appearance,  prudery,  Ac.,  and  many  de- 
rived from  the  Latin  end  in  (ion  (shtin),  as  instruction,  correction,  &c. ;  and 
many  otherwise,  a*  lecture,  reason,  doctrine,  ice. 

Nouns  that  signify  office,  stale,  conditioyi,  &c.  are  usually  formed  by  ad- 
ding ship  (ship)  to  the  primitive  substantive,  as  kingship,  the  office  of  a  king', 
stewardship,  the  office  of  a  steward  ;  guardianship,  the  office  of  a  guar- 
dian ;  or  lordship,  partnership,  foe.  the  stute  or  condition  of  a  lord,  part- 
ners, &c.  Some  substantives  in  ship  come  fiom  adectives,  as  hard,  hardship, 
&c.  denoting  the  state  of  what  the  preceding  word  signifies.  Nouns  that  sig- 
nify state  or  condition  are  also  formed  by  addiu  head  (he'd,  or  hood  (hud),  to 
the  primitive  substantive,  as  the  godhead,  the  state  or  majesty  of  God ;  man" 
hood,  the  state  or  condition  of  a  man;  childhood,  the  state  or  condition  of 
a  child ;  widowhood,  the  state  or  condition  of  a  widow. 

Nouns  that  signify  dominion,  rule,  jurisdiction ,  or  state,  are  usually 
formed  by  adding  the  terminations  wick  (wtk),  ric  (rVk),  ana  do/n, (dom),  as 
bailiwick,  the  jurisdiction  of  a  bailiff;  bishopric,  the  dominion  of  u  bishop  ; 
kingdom,  the  dominion  of  a  king  ;  freedom,  the  state  of  being  free,  &c. 

Nouns  that  signify  profession,  generally  are  formed  by  adding  the  termina- 
tion ian  (dn),  as  from  physic,  music,  are  formed  physician ,  musician,  &c. 

Nouns  denoting  character  or  habit  are  derived  from  verbs  or  adjectives, 
by  adding  ard  (£rd),  asdiunk,  drunkard ;  dote,  dotard,  &c. 

Nouns  which  express  particular  belief,  opinion,  doctrine,  heresy,  sect,  ©r 
something  which  affects  in  the  manner  the  preceding  word  expresses,  are 
formed  by  the  termination  ism  (Yzm).  added  to  the  substantive  or  verb,  as  pw 
ritanism  from  Puritan  ;  gentilism  from  Gentile;  baptism  from  to  baptise;  ca- 
techism from  to  catechise,  &c. 

Substantives  in  ist  (Yst),  express  the  maker  or  writer  of,  follower  or  advo- 
cate for,  a  dealer  in,  or  one  of,  or  curious  in,  a  player  in,  one  skilled  in, 
one  affected  with,  what  the  primitive  word  expresses,  as  from  La»in,  Latinist; 
bigamy,  bigamist;  dialogue,  dialogist:  panegyric,  panegyrist;  to  baptize, 
baptist',  drug,  druggist,  &c.  &c. 

OF  ADJECTIVES. 

Adjectives  are  derived  from  Substantives  in  the  following  manner,  viz. 
Adjectives  denoting  plenty  or  abundance,  are  formed  from  Substantives, 
1st,  by  addmg  £/(?),  as  from  health,  healthy;  wealth,  wealthy ;  might,  mighty, 
&c.  2dly,  By  adding  ous  (us);  as  from  malice,  malicious;  courage,  cou» 
rageous;  right,  righteous;  &c.  or,  3dly,  by  adding  ful  (ful),  as  from  joy, 
joyjul ;  sin,  sinful ;  health,  healthful. 

Adjectives  denoting  plenty,  but  with  some  kind  of  diminution,  are  form, 
ed  from  Substantives  by  the  termination  some  (s6m),  as  from  light,  lightsome  ; 
trouble,  troublesome;  toil,  toilsome,  &c. 

Diminutive  Adjectives,  or  those  which  denote  a  little  or  somewhzt  bf  the 
nature  or  quality  of  what  the  preceding  word  expresses,  are  formed  by  adding 
the  termination  2^  (tsh;,  to  a  substantive  or  adjective;  as  child,  childuh,  or 
somewhat  of  a  child ;  black,  blackish,  or  a  little  black,  or  somewKat  bla^k,  &c. 

Adjectives  of  likeness,  or  those  which  denotes  likeness  to  what  the  preced- 
ing word  expresses,  ate  usually  formed  by  adding  the  termination  ly  (ly)  ;  and 
sometimes  the  adjective  like  (like,  as  godly,  or  like  God;  manly,  or  like  a 
mail,  or  man  like,  &c. 

Adjectives  signifying  capacity,  or  denoting  a  passive  quality  equal  to  that 
may  be,  or  worthy  of  being,  what  the  preceding  verb  or  noun  expresses,  ard 


C    xix     ] 

formed  by  adding  the  final  particle  able  (eVl);  as  ans-wer,  answerable:  to 
move,  moveable;  to  abolish,  abolishable;  sometimes  by  changing  ate  into 
able ;  as  in  abominable,  from  to  abominate,  &c.  &c. 

Material  Adjectives,  or  those  denoting  the  matter  out  of  which  any  thing 
is  made,  are  usually  formed  by  adding  en  (n)  to  the  substantive ;  as  from  oak, 
oaken;  wood,  wooden;  gold,  golden, Szc. 

OF  VERBS. 

It  cannot  be  doubted  that  Verbs  are  some  times  derived  from  substantives,  ad- 
jectives, and  even  from  adverbs;  as  from  the  substantive  salt,  comes  to  salt ;  from 
the  adjective  warm,£o  warm;  and  from  the  adverb  forward,  to  forward.  Some- 
times they  are  formed  by  lengthening  the  vowel,  or  softening  the  consohaut ; 
as  from  giass,  to  graze;  glass,  to  glaze;  brass,  to  braze ,  &c.  Sometimes  by  ad- 
ding the  termination  en  ('n)  to  the  substantive  or  adjective  •  as  from  strength,  to 
strengthen ;  length,  to  lengthen ;  short,  to  shorten  ;  wide,  to  widen,  &c. 

OF  ADVERBS. 
Adverbs  of  quality  or  likeness  are  usually  formed  by  adding  the  termina- 
tion ly  iiy)  to  the  positive  adjective;  as  wise;  wisely;  foolish.,  joolishly ;  sinful, 
sinfully;  base,  basely;  virtuous,  virtuously,  &c.  In  which  case  it  seems  in 
import  equal  to  after  the  manner  of  what  the  preceding  word  expresses ;  or 
in  the  manner  or  force  and  value  of  the  preceding  word. 

Of  the  INSEPARABLE  PARTICLES  un,  dig,  mis,  &c. 

These  inseparable  prefixes  in  composition  all  include  the  negative  particle 
not,  besides  their  peculiar  signification. 

The  particle  un  (tin)  always  signifies  privation,  that  is,  the  absence  or  want 
of  something  that  either  was  or  ought  to  be ;  as  unmerciful,  unkind,  unsteady, 
&c. 

In  words  derived  from  the  Latin,  the  particle  in  (m)  is  the  same  as  un,  as 
ingratitude,  inactive,  incomplete,  &c.  And  sometimes  it  is  an  intensive  par. 
tide,  and  then  it  signifies  very,  or  very  much,  &sintent,  or  very  earnest,  6cc. 
Sometimes,  also,  in  words  borrowed  from  the  French,  instead  of  in  we  use  the 
French  particle  en  (en),  when  it  is  not  privative,  but  it  intimates  that  the  thing 
is  inherent  in  another,  is  caused  in  it,  oris  tending  to  a  junction.  En  be- 
comes el  before  /,  and  em  before  b,  m,  or  p,  and  er  before  r.  The  n  of  in  is 
likewise  changed  into  l,m,  andr,  according  to  the  initial  consonant  of  the  word 
to  be  annexed  ;  hence  il,  im,  ir,  instead  of  in ;  as  in  illegal,  immodest,  zrregu* 
lar,  &c. 

Note — The  particle  un  is  always  privative,  en  never ;  in  sometimes  pri- 
vative and  sometimes  not ;  yet  in  verbs  it  is  seldom  ever  privative,  but  often  in 
participles  and  other  words. 

The  particle  dis  (dis),  usually  signifies  some  contrariety  ;  as  honour,  rfij- 
honour;  like,  dislike;  grace,  disgrace,  &c. ;  in  which  this  prefix  reverses  the 
meaning  of  each  word  annexed  to  it ;  or  denotes  the  contrary  of  what  each  word 
primitively  implies. 

The  particle  mis  (mts)  usually  signifies  wrong,  or  error ;  as  to  mistake, 
or  take  wrong,  otherwise  than  it  is ;  to  misuse,  or  me  ill,  or  otherwise  than 
we  ought,  Lq.

ON   THE 

CONSTITUTION  OF  THE  BRITISH  ISLES. 


ENGLAND 

IS  that  part  ot  Great  Britain,  which  is  contiguous  to  the  southern  ar.d  eastern, 
ocean.  If  we  include  Wales,  which  lies  on  the  west  side  of  the  island,  it  is 
nearly  of  a  triangular  form,  with  some  irregularities,  between  the 50th  and  55th 
degrees  of  north  latitude,  and  between  the  2d  degree  of  east  and  the  6th  degree 
of  west  longitude;  and  is  about  400  miles  in  length  from  north  to  south,  and 
in  some  parts  towards  the  south  about  350  in  breadth,  but  in  the  north  part, 
where  it  first  joins  to  Scotland,  is  scarcely  80  miles,  and  even  that  is  gradually 
contracted  almost  to  an  angular  point  at  Berwick  upon  Tweed.  The  German 
ocean  bounds  it  on  the  east,  the  English  channel  on  the  south,  and  the  Irish 
sea  or  St.  George's  channel  on  the  west.  On  the  north-west  Sol  way  frith, 
which  falls  into  the  Irish  sea  below  Carlisle,  separates  it  from  Scotland  ;  and 
the  course  of  the  rivers  Liddei  and  Tweed  m  a  north-east  direction  to  Berwick, 
is  the  boundary  of  the  two  kingdoms  now  united  under  the  name  of  Great 
Britain. 

Of  its  ancient  inhabitants  our  accounts  are  very  imrerfect,  before  the  arrival 
of  Julius  Cczsar ;  but  the  southern  paits  were  then  full  of  people,  aud,  from 
the  names  of  the  different  tribes,  it  seems  highly  p  obable,  that  they  had  emi- 
grated from  various  parts  of  Gaul,  and  that  each  coiony,  as  it  settled  into  some 
connected  form  of  government,  preserved  the  memory  of  their  origin  by  this 
measure.  Comparing  the  description  ef  Gaul  by  Cassar,  with  the  names  of  these 
colonies,  we  can  have  little  doubt  in  concluding,  that  the  ancient  Britons  came 
from  Gaul. 

The  climate  of  England  is  more  variabJ  ?  than  almost  any  other  on  the  face  of  the 
globe  of  equal  extent.  Surrounded  almost  by  the  ocean,  clouds  are  continually 
forming  in  the  vicinity  from  exhalaions  of  vapours  ;  and  no  place  being  distant 
from  the  sea  moie  than  130  miles,  the  greatest  uncertainty  of  weather  naturally 
follows,  i  he  sea  coasts,  from  fogs  and  damps,  are  subject  to  agues  and  pu- 
trid fevers;  whilst  the  inland  parts,  which  are  more  elevated,  especially  the 
mountainous  districts,  are  not  only  more  fully  exposed  to  the  extremes  of  heat 
and  cold,  but  to  sudden  and  heavy  rains,  Which  produce,  rheumatisms,  &c. 
The  natural  attraction  of  those  elevated  parts  causes  the  clouds  to  acquire  a 
motion  that  way :  and  when,  from  their  agitated  state,  though  by  this  time 
more  strongly  condensed,  the  enveloped  properties  are  disturbed  by  interrup- 
tion from  the  mountains,  the  rains  descend  with  more  or  less  violence  as  the 
agitation  has  been  excited,  or  as  the  quantity  of  moist  particles  collected  in 
those  clouds.  And  as  the  soil  of  these  districts  is  usually  of  a  lighter  texture, 
more  liable  to  be  dried  up,  and  in*  itself  less  fertile,  this  naturaf  disadvantage 
is  in  a  great  degree  compensated  by  the  more  frequent  returns  of  these  genial 
showers  than  in  the  level  plains  where  they  have  less  need  of  them,  from  the 
possession  of  a  deeper  soil.  Hence,  probably,  no  country  in  the  world,  of 
equal  extent,  produces  so  much  essential  sustenance  for  man  and  beast;  and 
that  we  have  justly  to  boast  of  continual  verdure. 

The  extent  of  England  has  been  estimated  at  about  50,2*0  square  miles,  and 
32,172,800  statute  acres;  and  the  population  of  England  alone  has  been  lately 


{    324    ] 

estimated  at  8,331 ,424,  less  than  four  acres  to  each  individual ;  and  of  these 
the  city  of  London  and  county  of  Middlesex  are  more  than  one  tenth  part. 
As  a  manufacturing  country  also,  the  produce  is  beyond  all  calculation. 

England  is  divided  into  40  counties  or  shires;  and,  since  the  Norman  con- 
quest, for  the  distribution  of  justice,  into  six  circuits,  to  each  of  which  two 
judges  are  appointed  twice  a  year,  except  in  the  northern  circuit;  the  four 
northern  counties  are  only  visited  in  the  summer.  Local  districts  also,  having 
peculiar  jurisdiction  by  grant  or  charter  from  the  crown,  have  power  of  admi- 
nistering justice  in  various  cases.  The  religion  of  the  kingdom  is  episcopal ; 
and  the  established  church  is  governed  by  two  archbishops  and  twenty  bishops 
in  England,  and  four  in  Wales,  besides  the  bishop  of  Sodor  and  Man ;  but  the 
last  does  not  sit  in  the  house,  of  peers.  About  sixty  archdeacons  also  are 
appointed  to  certain  districts,  to  aid  the  bishops  in  the  government  of  the 
church ;  and  in  some  dioceses  rural  deans  continue  to  be  appointed  annually, 
to  superintend  and  report  the  state  of  the  ecclesiastical  fabrics,  &c.  within 
their  respective  deaneries. 


WALES 

IS  situate  on  the  western  side  of  England,  on  the  Irish  sea,  being  separated 
from  England  by  irregular  county  boundaries,  nearly  from  north  to  south 
from  near  Chester  to  Cardiff  on  the  Bristol  channel,  having  part  of  Cheshire, 
Shropshire,  Herefordshire,  and  Monmouthshire  contiguous  on  the  east.  On 
that  side,  which  is  longest,  it  may  be  about  130  miles;  and,  in  breadth,  from 
east  to  west,  from  40  to  100  miles.  The  inhabitants  anciently  were  the 
remains  of  those  Britons  who  escaped  the  destruction  of  the  Roman  invaders, 
and,  from  their  mountainous  situation,  long  held  an  independent  possession. 
In  climate,  it  is  nearly  similar  to  the  mountainous  parts  of  England,  of  which 
it  has  a  prooortionably  greater  quantity,  and  consequently  is  less  productive  in 
the  necessary  sustenance  of  its  people.  Its  extent  has  been  estimated  at  about 
8,125  square  miles;  and  its  statute  acres  at  5,200,000.  Its  recent  population 
was  541,546,  nearly  ten  acres  to  each  individual.  It  is  divided  into  North  and 
South  Wales,  each  having  six  counties;  and,  for  administration  of  justice, 
including  Cheshire,  is  divided  into  four  Grand  Sessions,  to  which  some  of  the 
leading  counsel  of  England  are  appointed,  and  preside  as  judges  twice  a  year. 
la  ecclesiastical  concerns,  it  is  the  same  as  England,  and  has  four  bishops.' 


SCOTLAND 

IS  situate,  as  we  have  stated,  to  the  north  of  England,  and  is  on  all  sides 
washed  by  the  sea,  except  from  Carlisle  to  Berwick,  where  it  is  separated  by 
two  rivers,  for  about  70  miles,  or  very  little  more.  Generally  estimating,  it  i% 
about  280  miles  from  north  to  south,  independent  of  the  Orkney  islands  to  the 
northward,  but  is  scarcely  200  in  breadth  any  where,  without  including  the 
large  islands  west  of  it,  and  in  many  places  not  100.  It  is  usually  divided  into 
the  northern  and  southern  inhabitants,  of  which  the  river  Tay  is  the  limit, 
making  the  former  part  much  the  largest.  The  northern  part  has  only  thirteen 
counties,  and  larger ;  the  other  twenty-one  counties,  which  are  smaller.  It  is  also 
often  divided  into  Highlands  and  Lowlands ;  the  latter  of  which  affect  the  En- 
glish language  and  habit,  but  the  former,  being  more  rude  and  barbarous,  though 
gradually  conforming  to  English  manners,  still  retain  much  of  the  Irish. — Their 
parliament  is  now  incorporated  with  the  British;  but  they  still  retain  their 
Courts  of  Session  and  Justiciary,  and  other  establishments  for  administration 
of  justice,  according  to  their  former  laws,— We  meet  with  but  few  continental 


[    325    J 

names,  as  emigrating  colonies,  before  the  time  of  the  Homans.  The  Picts  in- 
habited the  northern  part  of  the  island  of  Britain,  consisting  of  two  nations 
principally  ;  but,  after  the  Scots  obtained  possession,  it  was  divided  into  seven 
parts. 

The  air  is  more  temperate,  even  in  Scotland,  than  in  similar  latitudes  on  the 
continent.  The  sea  breezes  contribute  hignly  to  this;  and  the  constant  winds 
prevent  stagnation,  so  that  epidemic  diseases  are  seldom  known,  and  vegetation 
is  more  luxuriant  than  might  have  been  expected.  Yet  it  is  mountainous,  as  it 
recedes  from  the  ocean  ;  and  the  produce  of  cattle  is  more  attended  to  than 
that  of  tillage,  for  which  the  soil  is  less  genial  than  in  England.  Yet  a  spirit 
of  improvement  has  more  recently  been  diffused  among  the  inhabitants  ;  which 
is  abundantly  manifest  on  the  ri<  her  soils  contiguous  to  the  friths. 

From  the  extreme  irregularity  of  this  part  of  Britain,  it  may  be  difficult  to 
ascertain  its  extent ;  but,  including  its  numerous  islands  on  its  north  and  west, 
it  may  be  taken  at  30,000  square  miles,  and  10.  200,000  st'iu'e  acres.  The  po- 
pulatiou  was  estimated  recently  at  1,052,370,  but  perhaps  it  maybe  nearer 
1,700,000 

Though  the  episcopal  religion  long  nourished  here,  their  established  kirk  is 
now  presbyterian. 

IRELAND 

Is  a  detached  island,  separated  from  the  south  west  parts  of  Scotland,  Eng- 
land and  Wales,  by  the  Irish  sea,  and  projects  farther  west  into  the  Atlantic 
ocean  than  any  other  part  of  Europe.  From  the  north-east  to  the  south  west, 
which  is  the  longest  direction,  it  exceeds  300  miles;  and  from  east  to  west  th& 
breadth  is  generally  180  miles,  and  in  some  places  less.  As  an  island  it  partakes 
so  much  of  the  genial  nature  of  England,  that  it  needs  only  common  industry 
to  render  it  extremely  productive  in  all  the  comforts  of  life  ;  and,  having  fewer 
mountains,  and  possessing  a  rich  soil,  whee  industry  and  science  are  certain  of 
reward.  We  may'estimate  its  extent  therefore  at  about  40,000  square  mi  es,  and 
26,880,000  statute  acres.  The  population  has  been  estimated  at  4,000,000.  be- 
ing nearly  6  acres  and  3  quarters  to  each  individual.  Hence,  by  cultivation, 
Ireland,  as  having  fewer  barren  tracks  than  the  other  British  possessions,  is 
capable  of  affording  abundant  supplies  to  England. — It  is  divided  into  four  pro- 
vinces, each  of  which  contains  several  counties.  The  estab  ished  relieion  is  that 
of  the  church  of  England  ;  and  it  is  governed  by  4  archoishops  and  1«  bishops. 
The  parliament  is  now  incorporated  with  the  British;  but  they  retain  all  their 
law  courts,  and  other  establishments  for  the  distribution  of  justice. 


The  government  of  all  these  united  kingdoms  is  a  mixture  of  monarchy, 
aristocracy,  and  democracy.  Though  the  executive  power  is  vested  solely  iu 
the  king,  who  appoints  the  great  officers  of  state,  and  many  inferior  magistrate* 
in  the  kingdom  :  the  legislative  power  resides  jointly  in  the  king,  the  lords, 
and  commons,  assembled  in  parliament.
