AUSTIN NUTTALL, LL.D., AVTBOa 0? " aOUTLEDQE'S FBONOUNCIMO DICTIONARY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.' TOKONTO : Wm. WAEWICK. ~^^ ■«=i"\W>^ PREFACE. IE power of expressing thoughts hy sounds, and of notifjring the conceptions ^e mind by the combinations of appropriate tones addressed to the car, is at the ornament and exclusive prerogative of Man. It is a distinction which, lating from the privilege of reason, raises him above the brute crea- generates the bonds of society, and produces all those amiable charities of m life which constitute its principal delight and interest. In proportion, rfore, as man cultivates this high and extensive power, his intercourse with becomes more dignified, and his means of attaining knowledge for himself more extended. Impressed with a conviction of this truth, men have at les paid attention to this pre-eminent gift of our species, and have culti- the Art of Speaking, not only as an ornamental but a useful accom- lent. Grammarians existed coeval with the best writers, and philology »een the object of the study of the cleverest men in all ages. The lians, for instance, were so strenuously bent upon the improvement of tho mciation of their vernacular tongue, that at the least expression dropped the lips of any Greek who was not an Athenian, they would discovei^ and the very flower-girls and market>-women of the city of Minerva, at the improper dialect of any man^ho did not address them in the stylo of Attic nicety. The Romans paid the same respect to their native le. In our own country, so many eminent philologists have preceded this path, that little remains for the Editor of a Pronouncing Dictionary English Language, but to familiarize the mind with the knowledge iy extant, and with principles thoroughly established ; thus endeavouring, lore lucid arrangement of materials, to smooth the road to the attainable ^tion of the science. Although, at first sight, such a task might be sup- humble, trite, and easy, yet the Editor, by the constant pains he has to bring the work to perfe<;tion, and the almost interminable difficulties he met in his way, is well aware that such a performance requires the est attention, and the most indefatigable care ; and nothing but the succesiii his exertions ensured to him, could repay him for the trouble he has As he cannot here boast of originality in his ctonceptions, he miust build le upon strictness and exactitude. p was the Editor's address, by way of Preface, to one of the early editions r alker's Pronouncing Dictionary." Since that period numerous reprints l>een issued, and many thousand copies yearly disposed of. The work may 0. -l IV I'KEFACK. therefore be presumed to htivc taken a firm position, as a lexicographic ai| rity, in the regular routine of education, and the general study of the EnJ Language. In the lapse of time, however, many important changes iij language have gradually taken place ; and consequently a thorough revisi| the work became necessary. Numerous words which, in the time of Joli and Walker, were in current use, have now become obsolete ; while others, owing to the progress of knowledge, the extension of literature, orj usages of fashion, have sprung into existence. "As politeness increases,"! Dr. Johnson, " some expressions will be considered as too gross for the delio others as too formal and ceremonious for the gay and airy. New phrases] therefore adopted, which must, for the same reasons, be in time dismissed." ! Thus numerous words (wliich, from having become obsolete or antiquaj have fallen into desuetude) have in this edition been cost aside, as being i suited, in the present day, to the pages of the Arclmistthan the columns d vernacular dictionary. On the other hand, of the innumerable words vlj modem literature, science, or fashion, has brought into existence, thousands have been incorporated, which had been entirely omitted in previ) editions. Some, however, are of comparatively recent adoption— as, EletJ type, Lithography, Mesmerism, Needle-gun, Photogi'aphy, Phrenology, Pap| mache, Stereotype, Siderography, Socialism, Telegram, &c. ; while othersi of 80 common a description as to excite our surprise at their omission— a;J instance, Exhume, Descriptive, Incipient, Lava, Playful, Bespectable, Sta^ tics. There are also many geological or scientific terms, now in general conr| sational use — as Felspar, Granite, Hornblende, Mica, Quartz, Schist, Sii Tale, Pyrite, Tertiary, &c.,— the insertion of which the Editor considered in pcnsable. In the selection of additional words, however, it has been an esp object of the Editor to avoid the introduction of Latin and Greek radices ^^ have net been Anglicised, or duly vemacularized by literary authority ; fori truth, learned terms, of a purely technological or scientific character, shoull sought for in Latin or Greek lexicons, and not in a pocket dictionary, inteil more for the use of the English student than for the man of science. In conclusion, the Editor begs to direct attention to the philological treat- itnd other useful articles enumerated in the annexed list of Contents. The Stereo-plates of this tvork, owing to the numerous impressions which -^ been called for^ having been completely worn out^ and the great detnandl increasing^ the Publishers^ without regard to expense, have had this edi_ printed from afresh set of electrotype plates, taken from a new and bcatti^ type, cast expressly for the present edition, y London, 18.;'; r omission— as, CONTENTS. ♦— PAGE loiN AND History of the English Language . . . . vi looucTioN TO English Grammar vii The Parts of Speech . . vii The Noun Substantive viii The Adjective .......... ix The Pronoun . . . ix The Verb x The Adverb, Preposition, Conjunction, and Interjection xi Parsing xi INCiPLES OF Derivation xii ?ixES OF THE Saxon, Latin, and Greek Lanv ..ages . xiii. xiv rHOGRAPHY » • • xiv Ionotypy; or Guide to the Pronunciation , , . . xv Scheme of the Vowels and Consonants . . . . xv. xvi )nunciation of European Languages — French, German, Italian, &c. xviii — xxi Accent and Quantity xxi >sody; or the Laws of Versification , . , . xsii—xxiv fhabetical List of Abbreviations used for Dispatch in Writing . . 257 scTiONS for addressing Persons of Hank, &c 257 lONOLOGiCAL Table ; showing the most interesting Events in the History of the "World, trom the Creation to the present time , . . 269 ?habetical List of Cities, Boroughs, and Principal Towns in England and Wales ; with the Counties in which they are situated, the Days on wliich their Markets are lield, and their Distances in Miles from London ........... 261 VI ORIGIN AND HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. To trace the origin and analyze tho construction of our admirable language, is J otrjeet of tho first importance to all who wish to acquire an accurate knowledge ( their mother tongue. The English lartguage was originally formed from the languages spoken by varioul tribes from the north of Ciermany, who settled in this country In tho fifth and nixtf centuries. The principal of these tribes ^ycre the Jutes, the Saxons, and the Angled On invading this country they drove tlie greater number of the aboriginal inhabitiinil into the western and mountainous parts of Wales, where the descendants of theJ inhabitants are now located, and where the language of the ancient Britons, no| called "Tho Welsh," is still spoken. Soon after these settlers arrived, the soutlieij part of Britain was called Angleland (land of the Angles), or England ; and the latj guage which they spoke, formed from the amalgamation of their various dialect-s, wjj called tht Anglo-Saxon language. At tho present time we find four great families of languages spoken in Europe, tI^I the Celtic, the Latin, tho Sclavonic, and the Gothic. The Celtic languages are spoke by the Welsh, tho Highlanders (or .Gaels), the Irish, and the inhabitiints of tho Islet Man; their respective dialects being called Welsh, Gaelic, Erse, and Manx. Latin language, with various modifieations, is spoken by tho Italians, the Spanisl^ the French, and the Portuguese. The Sclavonic is spoken by the inhabitants Russia, Poland, Croatia, and some parts of the Austrian empire. The other inh bitaots of Europe speak the Gothic languages, which are also called Teutonic. English is one of the Gothic family of languages, and as such resembles the Germaij the Dutch, the Flemish, tlie Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian. More than half of the words in the English language are from tho Anglo-Saxon, eluding the more common, homely, and familiar words — as, come, go, can, will, gooi\ tee, hear, above, home, bad. The others are mostly from the Latin, or the language the ancient Romans. Some are from the French, Celtic, Greek, German, and Danii languages. Latin words were introduced by the clergy of tho Romish church afte^ Christianity was established, and by learned men, after the revival of the study o the ancient languages in tho 15th and ICth centuries. French words were added the Normans after the Conquest. About the beginning of the 17th century, in tb reign of James I., our language had become almost the same .is it is now, and vid then generally called the English language. When the Bible h.id been translated into English, and, by being printed, had bccr| spread among the people ; when the Book of Common Prayer had been compiled, andl with the Bible, was read to the people in the churches ; and when great writers, suci as Spenser, Shakspeare, Ben Jonson, Bacon, and Milton, had published works whicl| were universally read and admired — the language became fixed ; and since those tiine it has not imdergone any material change ; although numerous Greek and Lat words have been introduced, chicflj' during the present century, to supply new ter required by the rapid extension of tho arts and sciences. vu INTRODUCTION TO ENGLISH GRAMMAR. InAMMAA (says Dr. Johnson) Is the soienco o£ speaking nnd writing correctly, and I art which teaches the relation of '.vorda to each other. lere heing about 60,000 words in our language, the first object in view is Clahsi- ^ATioK. ^!^en wo write or si>cak wo fonn Sentences ; and these consist of u iber of separate parts called Words. These are composed of syllabio sounds, ich must be properly uttered, and which, when written, must be correotly repre- ^ted by letters. Irammar consists of the following .pt^rts :— Etymolooy, or the nature, varieties, ivation, and changes of Words ; Syntax, or the construction and concordance of itences; OnTHoaRAPHV, or Spelling; andORTBuHPY, or Pronunciation. To these I ustially added, Prosody, or the Rules of Versification. le leading objects of Grammar, which embody the art of con*ectly writing, ling, and speaking, arc fully carried out in this Dictionary,— tho Orthography of word being given according to the best authorities; whilo tho true Pro- iciation is written in the simplest form, and the Orthoepy of every syllable and er distinctly indicated by appropriata accents or phonotypic chamctevs, which, I ready reference, are repeated at the top of every page. THE PARTS OF SPEECH. je " Parts of Speech," as they arc called in grammar, are comprehended under [head of Syntax ; and, although the particular part of speeuh of every word in the guage is clearly indicated in this dictionarv, still there is no portion of grammar pch, by tho uninitiated, is moro difficult to oe comprehended ; and even tJiose who spent years of schoolboy drudgery in its acqidsiUon, have often a very imperfect vledge of the subject. They may possibly understand the difference between a tantivo and a verb; but it is a gro.it chanco if they can distingviish between a I active and a verb iieuter without reference to a dictionary, altnoiigb this igno- co frequently lends them into ludicroiis mistakes, by using lay for He, laid for Uiin, I so on. Our object, therefore, in this brief treatise, is to endeavour to simplify subject, and reduce it to general comprehension, without entoinng- into any Drnto grammatical details, for which a common English grammar would perhaps etter calculated thnn a dictionary of reference. ic words that constitute our language (independently of the articles a, an, and [arc classified undt^r eight distinct heads, which received their names from the Wns, called "Parts of Speech:" they consist of the Noun Substantive, the ective, the Pronoun, tho Verb, the Adverh, the Preposition, the Conjunction, (lNTERjECTio>f. Thay are found appended to each word in tho dictionary, and are i Abbreviated : — ifl siibstantivc \a adjective von pronoun |v verb adv. adverb prep preposition conj conjunction int interjection Sc four first parts of speech being declinable, or variable in grammatical formation, I different collateral words emanating from them, which are thus abbreviated : — a. pi subsbmtive plural V. a verb active v.n verb neuter yTt pai'ticiple oart. a ptirtidplc active ouH. poM. .... participle passive oret preterite ie first eight, however, comprehend all tho parts of speech in general use ; and \ of the 00,000 words, of which our language is composed, belongs to onS or other l^e above kinds of words. Thus the Noun is the name of any thing ; the Adjective VIU EN(iLI:>ll UllAMMAIl— TAUrti OF Mi'EECU. qualifies tho noun : the Pronoun is used in place of the noun ; tbo Verb .isitcitM, iJ inandi), or a8lc>i n question ; tho Adverb qualiflos a verb, adjectivo, or other advd tho Proposition shows tho relation ol a noun or pronoun, that follows it, to soniuthiJ wbivh fiiis gone before; tho Coniunction connects words or sentences; and tlj Interjection is an abrupt exclamation. On referring ttt tlio dictionary tho student will find words inntimerablo which both substantives and verbs, or substantives and adjectives, or verbs active ; neuter, acconiing to tho respective senses In wliicli theyaro used. Thus the comol word " Act " is explained as a substantive, a verb active, and a verb neuter ; wLl ** Except " appears not only as a verb active and neuter, but also as a preposition t a conjunction. Hence arises the necessity of clearly understanding the tnjo imp and value of these terms, which, in truth, constitute the nomenclatui-o of ((ramti and tho backbone of philology. Wo shall theroforo take each of tho eight part^i Hpocch iu duo order. I.— THE NOUN SUBSTANTIVE. The term "Noun" is derived from the Latin word If omen, which signifies tiame." It is that part of speeeh which had its origin with tho incipient dawniugsj society, and Wi\B doubtless coeval with man's first existence ; for the name of whatefj wo Ciin think of or speak about is a noim ; a noun being tho name of whatever cunl perceived by the outer senses, or bv tho inward mind; it is, in truth, the naraol any person, place, quality, or principle. Tlie noun, then, is tho first grand divisiJ of woixls, or, as each division is called, a part of tpeech. This primary division j speech has also received tho name of SubataiUive ; thereby indicating that the uuij moans that which has substance, or that which exists in a tangible or visible aln^ In short, it Is tho name-teord of all languages. Noun-substantives are of two difTorent kinda— Proper and Cotamon. Proper nouns are mostly tho names of persons, places, and notable objects or ovcnij and servo to distinguish one individujil of a class from others of the same class. TL] tho words England, Victoria, Edinbiu'gh, Snowdon, tho Trent. Monday, July, &c.,\ proper nouns, or names, which ought always to begin with a capital letter. Of Common nouns there are various kinds which luwe jtarticular names applied j them— as, abstract, collective, verbal, and coutpound. An Abstract noun may be deflii as a noun expressing some quality or property. Those nouns have usually one of tlj terminations tion, nens, mtnt. dom, ly, nee, or th — as, talvalion, goodneif, discernmt freetiom, purity, benevolence, length, Ac. A Collective noun is a noun meaning nia^ individuals spoken of as one object or one mass— as, tho afseuibhj, tho rotny, crowd, tho people, tho peatantry, die. A Verbal noun is tho infinitive or present pati ciplo of a verb used as a noun— as, to ttcal is forbidden ; stealing U forbidden, &c. Oom)iound noun is a noun formed of one or more words— as, milk-maid, dining'TOQ^ tchool-boi/, Lc. Nouns are subject to certain inflexions. Thus, to form the plural of the word lit (which Is the root or radical form of the word), wo have to add an t, making liomt and to produce the genitive or possessive cose, we add '», as the lion's sh.iro. Witf tho luldition of est, it expresses tho feminine gender, lioness. These inflexions ; what are called immber, case, and gender. Tho usual formation of tho plural of the English noun, by simply adding s to I singular, is derived from the Anglo-Saxon— as dagas, days ; endas, ends, &c. ; bc| there are various exceptions to tho general rule for tho formation of the plural. M instance, many nofins, derived from other langiiagos, retain their original plui-als-t^ addendum, animalcuhm, arcanum, atitomalon, criterion, datum, detiiUratum, didu: ilffluvium, emponum, encomium, erratum, medium, memorandum, momentum, parfuliw phenomown, speciilum, aud stratum, which change tho lingular um or oh intoi- according to tho custom of the Latins and the Greeks, from whom tbo words d adopted. In tho same raaiincr tho words anal>/sis, antithesis, axis, basis, criif ellipsis, hypotlusis, metamorphosis, oasis, phasis, parenthesis, and thesis, change the^ into es ; focus, fungus, magus, polypus, radius, sdmidus, .md virtuoso, change tlio itii| o into t ; formula, hmina. larva, macula, nebula, and scorin, ttiko ai in the plur apex, appendix, index, radix, vertex, nu<\ vortex, change ex or j* into ice*. Some noia have the singular and plural alike— as deer, sheep, species, apparatus, Ac. Othi nouns, on the contrary, have no singular — as alms, ashes, annals, antijtodeo, breid^ bowels, bellows, bvliard-i, cattle, compasses, clothes, goods, lungs, manners, maihem tho words u ixit, batis, air. tin, cbange tbe change tlio iu> (e in the plur •ceg. Some noig a tut, Ac. 0th lutiftoden, breec nerg, malhematk stiUiiticti, than >{ the sontcnc t of tbo scntend |<' I BOO tbo 6ooil-." As a general rule, tlio nomiiuitivo is placed buforo tl:o verb, 10 objective case after it ; altbougii in poetry or rhetoric this order is not alwayH rvcd. A noun is said to bo in tlio poMeuivt ca«e whou it is stated as owning or ising something— as, "that book is William's." i names of moles are said to bo of tho hia^cidine gender— as mun, hor$t, tigtr : [of females, of tbo./Vniiiii>i« gender— as vo«/nn, muve, tiyrc»» : and those of things, cr male nor female, are of the neultr gender— as book or iablt ; but thoeo nouns miiy bo tho names of either males or females, arc said to bo of the common Br— as pimntt, child, coiuin, nlaliou. II. -THE ADJECTIVE. next part of speech is tbo "Adjective," a word added to a noun substantive lify tbe addition of some quality, circumstance, or manner of being. Tlio word ived from tbe Latin adjeclw, " added to ; *' thus denoting that it is added to or J beside the noun. It is also called tho Adnoun. tho help of tbo adjective wo can tbe more readily distingnish tho noun, wbicb Its an adjective before it— as, " a virtuous min," " a wire ItgisUttor." By tho aid of Doun, also, we can distinguish the adjective, wbicb admits a noun after it. Btives may likewise bo known by answerinq; to tbo questions—" What sort of?" [What kind of?" as, "What sort of a woman is she?" An amiable woman. at kind of weather is it? " It iajlne weather. Jectives have been classified under different denominations— an common, pot- t, detaonitrative, pronominat, numeral, Ac. llie common adjective denotes quuUty, "a good man." Tho possessive or pronoun adjoctives are m.v, thy, his, her, its, our, , their, and whose. Tho words the (usually called a definite article), this, that, those, yon, yonder, and other, may be considered na demomtrative adjectives. Tho rat adjective denotes something relating to number— aa two boys, many horses, econd man. ^e English ac^ectlvo is not inflected for gender or case, or even in tbo plural, pt tbe words this and that, which take these and those in tho plural. But the ad- re is sometimes inflected to express the different degrees of the quality which it tss; and these inflexions arc called degrees of compa7'ison. They aro three in iber, the positive, tho comparative, and tho superlative. Tho positive degree simply nes the presence of tho quality, without comparison with any other object, and tpressed by the adjcctiyo hi its radical form — as, a hard stone. The comparative fe denotes the presence of the quality in a higher degree than in some other object which it is compared— as, a harder stone. The supei'lative degree indicates tho enco of tbe quality in tho highest degree, and is used when wc compare three or objects— as, tbo hardest stone. Tho general rule for forming the degrees of arisen is to add er for the comparative, and est for tho superlative, although I are some striking exceptions in our language- as, good, better, best: bad, worse, little, less, least, Ac. III.— THE PRONOUN. ^e word " Pronoun " expresses its meaning distinctly. It is derived from tho i ]pro nomine, "for tho noun." It is used to avoid the repetition of the noun, arevents the jarring on the car, and tho confusion which would arise from tho ution of the same woi'd. It continues tbe application of a noun when it has been I mentioned, so that it need not bo repcatea, or not so often, as otherwise would scessory ; and, as it is a substitute for a noun, it partakes of its nature and Ing properties. iere are three kinds of pronouns, personal, relative, and interrogative. Thepersonal aouns aro /, thou or you, he, she, it. / is a pronoun of tho fii-st person, and refers lie person speaking. It is tbe word by which he names himself, or herself, as the lec£ of the sentence ; as, / saw him. Thou or you is a pronoun of the second Ion, and refers to tho person to whom wc aro speaking— as, ihou lovest him ; you ik correctly. He, she, and it, ore pronouns of tho third person, and denote somo Bon or thing spoken of— as, he writes well ; the paints beautifully ; il cannot be »d. The relative pronouns aro who, which, and that, and refer to some noun or loun in tbe same sentence called its aHticnltnt, because it usually precedes the tive pronoun. IVho is applied only to persons ; which to neuter objects, or the sr animals ; and that to either — as, tho man w/ogee. .^Mto, self ; as owtobiography, Cata, down ; as ca/astrophe, caiaracb. J>*a, through ; as rftagonal, diameter, diaphanous. Bpi, upon, or over ; as episcopacy, eyndeniic, epigram, epita'ph. Hyper, overmuch ; as hypercritical, hyperbole. //ypo, under; as /i^pocrite, Aypothesis. Heia, change ; tb j/ietamoi^jhosis, »nrfaphor, metonymy. Para, beside, from ; as pa/«dox, paroble, parasol, parody, jiarhclion. Peri, round about, or near; as perimeter, penhelion. 5y», together; as si/nod, «ywjpathy, si/lla.h\e, syjithosis ORTHOGEAPHY. Ortbooraphv is the art of coiTect spelling, and is of essential importance in i study of the English hvnguage. It cannot be acquired entirely by means of rules, ( the requisite number would be an intolerable burden to the memory ; nor is learn the spelling of words by rote a more practicable method. But there are a fewgena rules, easily remembered, attention to which will undoubtedly prevent any pei-soij writing being much disfigured by bad spelling. To these wo have now to din attention. The following words ought to commence with capital letters ; viz. the first word] every sentence ; and also of every line of poetry ; names of the Supreme Being, ai pronouns referring to Him; proper nouns; adjectives derived from proper nouiL the names of the days of the week, of liolidays, and of the months ; tue pronounl and any leading name in the sentence which the author desires to make emphatic. 1 When a word ending in silent e receives an augment (an increase) beginning witiil vowel, the e is omitted; as, give, giving ; sense, sensible: fame, favtous; cure, euram The e is changed into i before fi/ and i;ish, for pUy'tsake; also in dnjness, slyly, ss. lenthe y is preceded by a vowel it is retained; as boy, boyish; day, days; joy, }ul. Exceptions — Gaiety, said, paid, laid. PHONOTYPY ; OR, GUIDE TO THE PRONUNCIATION. IE principles of Pronunciation are founded in letters ; and the letters, or elements I which the words of any language may bo analysed, form the necessary alphabet bat language. In the English alphabet there are twenty-six letters. Of these )rs there are six vowels, which by themselves each make, by simply opening the Ith, a perfect vocal sound.

A (A) is ^ vowel which has four distinct sounds— the long or slender, as in j the short, as in cdi : the open, or Italian, as in father : and the broad, as in i Before n word beginning with a vowel, or a silent h, it is, for the sake of euph changed into an, as an owl. B {be) is the first consonant, and the second letter of the English alphabet also a muto and a labial, which Las a close affinity with the bibial lettera P and C («^) bas two very distinct sounds - one hard, like i% before «, o, u, I, and r\ other soft, like », before e, i, and // .•—combined with the letter h, it has three diflej soimds : the first, its proper En^irlish sound, equivalent to <«A, or tch, as in cAkI the second, in words I'rom the French, equivalent to »h, as in chaise ; the thin words from the Greek, equivalent'to k, as in chord. D (di) is a dental and a mute, and has a uxtifonn sotind, nearly as6imilatiii| that of t. E W is t^6 second and most frequent vowel of the English alphabet ; its ns sound is long, as in ml ; but it bus a shurt sound, as in mity and a rough jarring e before r, as in hir. After c and «/, the final e serves to indicate that c is to be j nounced as s, and g as ;'. F (e/) is a semi- vowel, and articulated as v, but with the breath alone. G (dzhi) has two sounds, bard and soft. The hard sound occurs before the vm o, 0, u, /, and r : as gate, go, gnU. 'Jbo soft one is like the letter .7, and is foundl e and i, as gem, gibbet ; tb-jugb in a few words of German origin it is sounded ha get, begin, &c. H (hay tsh) i3 regarded .is a note of aspiration, or mark of strong breathing.! the beginning of some words it is muto, as, hei-', honour : but in most cases it isj culated, as, hand, head, htart.

XVll (ja) is a consonant, and has invariably the sound of tlio softened g, as in giant, (ka) is a consonant borrowed ft-om the Greek, and has, before all the vowels, anvariftblo sound, as in keen. It is silent before n, ns in knife, (el) is a liquid consonant or serai- vowel, and has only ono so\iud in English, as liite, or canal. At tho end of monosylliibles it is usually doubled, as in full ; but I after digraphs or diphthongs, as cool, foul, &c. ^ (cm) is a liquid and labial consonant, or semi- vowel, formed by compression of rtips, and a kind of vocal enunciation through the nose, as in come.

(es) has two sounds : fii\st, like c soft, as in sit ; and secondly, the sound of z, as tose. (te) is a mute consonant, which has always the -^amo sound, except when placed f)re A; it tlien fcms a digraph (th) having two different sounds, tho ono dental, as rilath, and the other flat or palatinal, as in bn^aihe. (»2) is tho fifth vowel of the alphabet, and has four distinct sounds ; tho first iiort and aouto, as in hftt ; tho second, a littlo longer, but not acute, as in tn\tli, \n»h : the third, long and close, as in mute: an- 1 the fourth, short and obscure, as in In many words the long vowel takes the sound of yu, as in union.

FIIENXII NAMES. The vowel a, in French, is generally considered as havinor two distinct sounds ;l first lon<4 {pas), an in the English word far : the second short (bid), as in Ao^ cire\imrtexed a, liowover, has a sound broader than o in 2'««, being intermed between that in far and that hx/aU. J? lias three sounds ; the first close, like e in met, as iW : the second open, audi prolonged, like a in hale, as tele : and the third obscure, as in battery (retour). J is distinguished by two sounds ; first nearly as in the English word Jly (j/);| second like ie in Jield, as exile. has three sounds ; first nearly as in robe (trune) ; second, as in rob (parole) ; as in lord (corps). U has not a precise equivalent in English, but it is nearly like the vocal 60uii| «e incite; but before the nasal n, as in un, it takes the i^ound of unrj. Y is similar to the French i. Ai is like b or c open. Au is like o. Ei is like &. Eu is similar to the English it in tub, but tho sound is more prolonged, ucarlj| sembling w in/wr. le is like ee in English, or \. Oi usually sounds like «d, r. g. moi is pronouucjd iuzcil or i/iifd/t. Ou. sounds like oo in English. ■B. ff. «^i ft l^'f p. ^.

Gu sounds like y hard ; thus, j guide, are pi'onounccd pa, ffkeed. //is never pronounced in French so forcibly as in English. Sumo orthoCpistsj that h has no sound in French. / sounds like soft g in French, or zh in English. X has usually the same sound as in English ; but when it ends a word, being reded by i, or when U follows i, in any situation, it usutdly has what is callcdj liquid sound. This may be said to answer nearly to the sound of Hi in millionA sound of I in such cases being blended with that of y (consonant) ; e. g. papilm pronounced pi'-pcer -yon'; Ckanttlly, shi\n*-teer-ye', &c. ' I M and N, when followed by a vowel, or when double, has tho same sound ojI English ; but when at the end of a word (not immediately followed by another wa beginning with a vowel), or wl;en followed by another consonant in the middloif word, they have what is teraicd the nasal sound, which resembles that of ng, ail long, pang, &c., but is somewhat softer ; thus m and n arc nasal in such woixljj omiparer, confente, but have their natural sound in such as commune, connu. Q or qit, in French, sounds like k ; e. g. quel is pronounced kel ; qui, kce, Ac. Jt is like tho English, but is trilled moi*e strongly, especially when it precei another consonant, or stands at the end of a word, as in vertu, punir; in similar ( the English r is but very slightly sounded. S, when single and between two vowels, sounds like z . in other cases it is the sai as in English. X genei'ally has the same sound as in English, but is sometimes sounded likej e. g. in six, pronounced seece, and Bruxttlc.s (Brussels), pronounced bnO sell'; occasionally like 2, as in dixi^me, de'-ze'-ame'. Ch is like sh in English : th is like /. On (tho same as in the Italian) has a sound which blends that of n and y (consonai or in other words is equivalent to the sound of ni in minion. Thus Avignon is i nounced 4*-veon*-yon . The vowel e at the end of n word, v«iien not marked with an accent, is invari mnto, *. g. in parle, contente, Ac.

If, howovor, they aro followed oy a mute e, or ' other vowel, they must always be articulated, e. g. In contente, dinte, &c. may bo observed that the French language bits no accent in the sense in which lemploy this term. The marks called accents, th it are placed over the different Vols serve only to indicate some particular sounds of theso letters. Thus the ent 'over the e in parl^ serves to show that this vowel has its first French sound, J at the same time distinguishes it from parte, another form of the same verb, in ich the c is mute. The circumflex imparts to the vowels, over which it is plncod, a jer and deeper sound than oi*dini\ry ; e, g. in hH'e, temptte, gitc, and apt>tre. GERMAN NAMES.

PA has a sound unknown in our language, and which, consequently, can bo learned |m an oml instructor only. It somewhat resembles that of our h, with a strong uration ; after a, o, and w, it is guttural ; for example, in the word ach. When it lows e, i, a, 6, tl, Hm, or fw, it seems to be soimded more in the pal.ate, as in ich. w, at the beginning of a word, sounds as in the English word get. In other situations bbould be xnunounced like the German ch. In some German dialects, however, it pounded, in all case^, nearly like g hard in English. ^ is pronounced only when it begins a word. I and /j, occurring after a vowel, lengthen its sound ; e. g. in T^g, 2!^ld, FlQh, &c. IThcn and h occur in the middle of a compoimd word, they have the same sound irhen they are initial. ' has the sound of the English y (consonant). 1 is only used before «, and sounds as in the English word quit. I is pronounced like rr in the English word terror, but somewhat more strongly.

ON ACCENT AND QUANTITY. Iaving treated on tbc sounds of Letters and tbo leading pi-inciples of Pronuncia- 1, we sball now give some general idea of tbe Accent or Quantity of syllables, present a few sbort rules gleaned from Dr. Jobnson's celebrated disquisition on subject. Altbougb tbe rules laid dow^n may bo subject to exceptions, nevertbc- tboy are well suited to tbe comprobcnsion of tbu general student. l( CENT is tbo laying a peculiar stress of tbo voice on a certain letter or syllable in ford, tbat it may bo better beard tban tbe rest, or distinguisbed from tbem ; as in I word pri&u'me, tbe stress of tbc voice must be on tbo letter u, and second syllable wbicb takes tbe accent. Every word of our language, of more tban one syllable, I one of tlieni distinguisbed from tbo rest in tbis manner. Is emphasis is a stronger and fuller sound of voice, by wbicb we distinguisb some I'd or words on wbicb we design to lay particular stress, to show bow tbey affect rest of tbo sentence, so, wbero other reasons do not forbid, tbe accent always Dlls with gi'catcst foice on tbat part of tbe word which, from its importance, the Irer has always the greatest occasion to observe. icrc arc three kinds of accent— tbo acute ('), tbo grave (^), and the circumflex ('); ; the accented syllable of a word, in all English dictionaries, is represented by tbe |tu placed over the vowel or tbe consonant of a given syllabic, according to the iuinciation ; as JIa'gi and mag'ic ; although Dr. Jobnson, as tbe following examples |\v, i)laccs the accent uniformly over tbc vowel. \n Monosyllables no syllabic accent is required ; and tberefoi'o in this edition are all unii rmly omitted. ^f DissYLLAULES, formed by affixing a termination, tbc fonner syllable is commonly entcd, as clu'ldith, ki'^ngdom, a'cted, to'ileome, lo'vers, co'ffer, fairer, foremost, zealous, fiiess, i/o'dhj, me'ekly, a'rtist.* Dissyllables, formed by prefixing a syllable to tbe ical word, have commonly tbo accent on tbo latter ; as, to beget, to besee'm, tobtsto'w. )issyllablcs, wbicb ai!e at once nofins and verbs, tbe verb has commonly the accent jit must be here observed that Dr. Jiohnson places the acute accent on the^ vowel pad of tbe consonant, which erroneously gives a long quantity to the syllable in place I ifiarp accent ; as It'berty instead of lib'erty.

Dissyllabic nouns in tr, j canker, bu'tter, bavo tbe accent on tbe former syllable. Dissyllabic verbs terminad in a consonant and e final, as comprise, csca'pe ; orbavinjf a dipbthong in tbe iJ syllable, as appease, reveal ; or ending in two consonants, as attend, bavo the acccj on tbo latter syllable. Dissyllabic nouns baving a dipbtbong In tbe latter syllalil have commonly tbeir accent on tbe latter syllable, as applause; except words in aj as ce'rtain, mountain. Trisvllaules, formed by adding a termination, or prefixing a syllublo, retain 1 accent of tbe mdical word ; as loveliness, tvmlcrnesf, contt'mner, wa'ggoner, ph]j'i\(\ bespa'tter, comme' nting, commending, asm'rance. Trisyllables ending in ous, aBgra'm a'rduoiu; in al, as ca'pital; in ioti, as me'ntion, accent tbo first. Trisyllables end In ce, ent, and ate, accent tbo first syllable, as co'untenance, continence, a'rma7uent,in minent, e'leganl, propagate, except tboy bo derived from words ha zing tbo accent | the last, 08 connivance, acquaintance ; or the middle syllable has a vowel between I consonants, as promulgate. Trisyllables ending in y, as e'ntitp, specify, liberty, vi'cla su'bsUly, commonly accent tbo first syllable. Trisyllables in le or re accent tbe ! syllable, as le'gible, the'atrt, except disciple, and words whicb are long by position,] exa'mple, epistle. Trisyllables In tide, commonly accent tbo first syllabic, as ple'nttw Trisyllables ending in ntor, as crea'tor ; or baving in the middle syllable a dipbthoJ as endeoCvour; or a vowel before two consonants, as dome'stic, accent tbo midi syllable. Trisylkblcs tbat bavo tbeir accent on tbo lost syllable aro commonly Freni as cuquie'sce, repartee, magazine ; or words formed by prefixing one or two syllable»| an acute syllable, as immature, overcha'rge. PoLYBVLLABLGS, or words of moro tban three syllables, follow the accent oft words from which they aro derived, as a'rrogaling, co'ntimncy, incontinently, m/ndabU. Words In ion bavo tbe accent on the antepenult, as salva lion, perturba.'ti^ conco'ction ; words in atour or ator, on the penult, as dedicator.

It sometimes contains two foot or tro- chees, and an additional long syllable ; as, In tht' days of old Fables plainly told. The third species consists of three tro- chees; as, When our hearts ilrc mouniing ; or of three trocliccs with an additional long syllable ; as, R5stl6ss mortals toil for nought ; Bliss in vain from earth is sou^'ht. The fourth Trochaic species consists of /our ti'ochees ; as, Round tis roars tho tempest louder. The fifth Trochaic species is uncommon. It is composed otjlvc trochees : All tbitt walk 5n foot 6r ride In ebilriots, All that dwell in p:d;u.'cs or garrets. The sLxth form of the English trochaic consists of aia; trochees ; as, cent is to be placed on the odd svlla. blcs.

GENERAL PRONOUNCING DICTIONARY. A. Soiinds—h&t, hate, hall, lidr— m6t, desist, me, h^r— chin, chine, field; shirt— A a. an indefinite article used before nouns 9 of the singular number, beginning with a consonant or aspirated h: as a nook, a house. It is a vowel, and the first letter of all European alphabets. It has four vocal sounds, the open or short, as in hat; the close or long, as in hate; the broad, as in lidll : and the slender, as in lidr. The close sound, as hate, place, tbc. is peculiar to the English language -, and is the regular vocal pronunciation of a when pronounced lon^, and not affected by a consonant : of which the words ma'-gi and m&g'ic are illustrative. Sometimes a is a contraction of at, on, or in, as, he is a hunting, she is a-bea, I saio him a-board that ship. Sometimes a denotes propor- tion, as, he has £200 a year.
