INTRODUCTION. 
 
 AMONG the various attempts to facilitate the orthography 
 and pronunciation of the English language, it is not a little 
 surprising that the method here adopted should have been 
 either totally overlooked or neglected. A Rhyming Dic- 
 tionary in a living language, for the purposes of poetry, 
 seems no very unnatural or useless production, and imper- 
 fect sketches of such a work have already been given us 
 by Poole and Bysshe ; but no one has hitherto thought of 
 making a dictionary of terminations subservient to the art 
 of spelling and pronouncing. The more obvious use of a 
 work of this kind was perhaps an obstacle to the comple- 
 tion of it, and its latent, though more useful qualities, were 
 by this means unobserved. A mere rhyming dictionary 
 was looked on either as a bauble for school-boys, or a re- 
 source for poetasters; and the nobler ends of pointing out 
 the analogy of orthography and pronunciation, like many 
 other advantages, were overlooked in the insignificancy and 
 puerility of the means. 
 
 Johnson's Dictionary is scarcely more valuable for so 
 nicely tracing the various and almost vanishing shades of 
 the same word, than for furnishing us with so copious a col- 
 lection of nearly similar words of a different form. Those 
 who understand the harmony of prose, pay a cheerful tri- 
 bute to Dr. Johnson on this account, as he admits them to 
 a more easy and extensive view of the powers of the lan- 
 guage, than can possibly be suggested by the memory 
 alone ; and by this means assists that delicacy of choice, on 
 which the precision and harmony of expression so essen- 
 tially depend. This advantage, which perhaps was not fore- 
 seen by Dr. Johnson himself, was no more than a necessary, 
 though not an obvious, consequence of so copious and 
 perfect a distribution of the language into its constituent 
 parts; and without the vanity of pretending to a parallel, 
 it may naturally be presumed, that an arrangement, which 
 is perfectly new, may possibly produce advantages which 
 were entirely unnoticed before this arrangement was actu- 
 ally drawn out; for experience furnishes us with a variety 
 of instances of unexpected improvements arising from new,

 and perhaps fortuitous combinations, which were never 
 suspected by theorists, until a discovery had been made. 
 
 The English language, it may be said, has hitherto been 
 seen through but one end of the perspective; and though 
 terminations form the distinguishing character and specific 
 difference of every language in the world, we have never 
 till now had a prospect of our own, in this point of view. 
 Dr. Wallis has, with great penetration and sagacity, shown 
 the general import of initial consonants; and with more 
 appearance of truth than could have been conceived, has 
 evinced, that words of a similar signification, which are ra- 
 dically English, commence with nearly the same radical 
 articulations. Mr. Elphinston too has given us a very good 
 idea of the general import of terminations, by strictures on 
 the greatest part of them; but none have yet thought it 
 worth their while to give us a complete and alphabetical 
 enumeration of the whole, by which alone we can have an 
 adequate idea of every part. In this arrangement of the 
 language, we easily discover its idiomatic structure, and 
 find its several parts fall into their proper classes, and al- 
 most every word as much distinguished by its termination 
 as its sense. We at one glance perceive the peculiar vege- 
 tation of our own language, and the alteration foreign words 
 undergo, by being transplanted into English soil. And 
 thus by an acquaintance with the specific character of every 
 termination, we are the more readily led to assimilate foreign 
 terms, by stamping them with the current impression of 
 our own.

 ORTHOGRAPHY. 
 
 But an analogical insight into the recesses of formation 
 is not every advantage arising from this new and complete 
 prospect of it. Our orthography is not only an insuperable 
 difficulty to foreigners, but an eternal source of dispute and 
 perplexity to ourselves; and though it would be in vain to 
 think of removing every intricacy that is constantly arising 
 from indolence and caprice, yet that a considerable number 
 may be remedied by a view of the general laws of formation, 
 will be readily conceived by those who inquire into the 
 origin of the difficulties complained of. By an affectation 
 
INTRODUCTION. V 
 
 of approximating to the orthography of the learned lan- 
 guages, wo have rooted out many useful letters that sprang 
 up naturally with exotic words, and have been led to ex- 
 clude all letters in our compounds which are not actually 
 pronounced, though their existence in these words is often 
 no less necessary to prevent ambiguity than in the simples 
 themselves. 
 
 Thus the useful servile e is hardly ever suffered to have 
 a place in composition, though from a feeling of its import- 
 ance, we are almost intuitively tempted to let it remain in 
 the branches, whenever we recollect it in the root. The 
 omission or insertion of this letter occasions a numerous 
 catalogue of rules and exceptions. The other serviles, /, a, 
 &c. are no less absurdly omitted in composition, though 
 their power remains, and by this means both orthography 
 and pronunciation are confounded. The duplication of 
 consonants, when an additional termination is assumed, 
 forms another difficulty in our terminational orthography, 
 as it may be called, which has embarrassed the most correct 
 and accurate writers. Now the only clew to extricate us 
 from this labyrinth seems the method here adopted. An 
 immediate view of the similar formation of similar parts of 
 speech, gives us a competent idea of the laws of termina- 
 tional orthography, and enables us to detect the least vio- 
 lation of them. Thus, when in our best dictionaries I find 
 saleable, tameable, and a few other words of the same 
 form, retain the silent e, I conclude these are either slips 
 of the pen, or errors of the press; for that the whole cur- 
 rent of similar endings, as blamable, adorable, definable, 
 &c. omit the e, and that no reason appears for retaining 
 it in the former, and not in the latter words. 
 
 But in order to detect the orthographical irregularities 
 of our language, it will be necessary first to lay down such 
 general maxims in spelling as have almost universally 
 taken place. By these we may judge of the impropriety 
 of those deviations, which are owing perhaps to a want of 
 seeing the laws of formation as here exhibited, and know- 
 ing how far the irregularity extends. 
 
 ORTHOGRAPHICAL APHORISMS. 
 
 APHORISM I. 
 
 Monosyllables ending with f, /, or s, preceded by a sin- 
 
VI INTRODUCTION. 
 
 cle vowel, double the final consonant; as staff, mill, 
 &c. of, if, as, is, has, was, yes, us, thus, are the only ex- 
 ceptions; and add, butt, ebb, egg, odd, err, buzz, are the 
 only words where other consonants are doubled in the same 
 situation. 
 
 APHORISM II. 
 
 Words ending with y, preceded by a consonant, form the 
 plurals of nouns, the persons of verbs, verbal nouns, past 
 participles, comparatives, and superlatives, by changing y 
 into ; as spy, spies, I carry, thou earnest, he carrieth, or 
 carries, carrier, carried, happy, happier, happiest ; but the 
 present participle in ing retains the y, that i may not be 
 doubled, as carrying : y preceded by a vowel is never 
 changed, as boy, boys, I cloy, he cloys, &c. 
 
 Observations. 
 
 By this rule we may perceive the impropriety of writing 
 flyer for flier, and defycr for defler, and the still greater 
 impropriety of writing fatner, oftner, and softner, for fat- 
 tener, oftener, and softener ; though we meet with them in 
 our best dictionaries; for the common terminations of 
 verbs, verbal nouns, participles, &c. never occasion any 
 contraction in the radical word ; entrance and remembrance 
 pretend kindred with the French entrant and remembrcr, 
 and are therefore incorrigible; but wondrous ought to be 
 written with the e, as well as slanderous ; and if we write 
 dexterous, why should we see sinistrous ? 
 
 APHORISM III. 
 
 Words ending with the hissing consonants, ch, s, sh, x, 
 z, form the plural of nouns by adding es, and the persons 
 of verbs by est, eth, or es, as church, churches, I march, thou 
 marchest, he marcheth, or marches. Genitives of words 
 ending in these consonants are formed by adding s with an 
 apostrophe ; as St. James's church, the church's ceremonies. 
 
 APHORISM IV. 
 
 Words ending with any consonant and silent c, form their 
 plural by adding s only, as a place, places, and persons of 
 verbs, by adding st, th, or s, as / place, thou placest, he 
 placeth, or, places. Genitives of words ending with these 
 letters are formed by adding s with an apostrophe, as the 
 
INTRODUCTION. vii 
 
 place's pleasantness. Material adjectives in y, and compa- 
 ratives in ish, are formed from substantives of this termi- 
 nation by omitting the silent e, and annexing y or ish to 
 the consonant, as ropy, winy, slavish, swinish, &c. from 
 ropt, wine, slave, swine, &c. The past participles, verbal 
 nouns, and comparatives and superlatives, add d, r, and 
 st, to the simple, as placed, a placer, wise, wiser, wisest ; 
 but the present participle cuts off the e, and annexes ing, 
 as placing. However, where the silent e is preceded by 
 the soft g, the e must be preserved, if the sense of the 
 word would otherwise be ambiguous; for we have no 
 other means of distinguishing singeing, the participle of to 
 singe, from singing, the participle of to sing ; swingeing, 
 from swinging, &c. As to cringing, twinging, &c. from 
 cringe, twinge, &c., we trust to the common power of the 
 letters, as we have no verbs to cring, twing, &c. to occa- 
 sion any mistake; for with respect to participles and ver- 
 bal nouns, a previous knowledge of the theme is supposed 
 to be indispensably necessary. See Aphorism x. 
 
 APHORISM V. 
 
 Words ending with a single consonant, preceded by a 
 single vowel, and with the accent on the last syllable, upon 
 assuming an additional syllable, beginning with a vowel or 
 y, double the consonant, as to abet, an abettor ; to begin, a 
 beginning ; a fen, fenny ; thin, thinnish, &c. but if a diph- 
 thong precede, or the accent be on the preceding syllable, 
 the consonant remains single, as to toil, toiling to offer, 
 an offering, &c. 
 
 Observations. 
 
 By this rule, which is founded on an intention of ascer- 
 taining the quantity of the accented vowel by doubling the 
 consonant, and which would be infinitely useful and agree- 
 able to the analogy of the language, if extended universally, 
 we perceive the impropriety of spelling the adventitious 
 syllables of terminations with double letters, when the ac- 
 cent is not really upon them. Bp. Lowth has justly re- 
 marked, that this error frequently takes place in the words 
 worshipping, counselling, &c., which having the accent on 
 the first syllable, ought to be written worshiping, counsel- 
 >ii. &c. An ignorance of this rule has led many to write 
 bigotted for bigoted ; and from this spelling has frequently

 ;i false pronunciation; but no letter seems to be 
 ni'iiv t'wpu-ntly doubled improperly than /. Why we 
 should write libelling, levelling, revelling, and yet offering, 
 svfering, reasoning, I am totally at a loss to determine; 
 and unless I can give a better plea than any other letter in 
 the alphabet for being doubled in this situation, I must, in 
 the style of Lucian, in his trial of the letter T, declare for 
 an expulsion. 
 
 APHORISM VI. 
 
 Words ending with y, preceded by a consonant, upon as- 
 suming an additional syllable beginning with a consonant, 
 change y into i, as happy, happily, happiness ; but y pre- 
 ceded by a vowel is never changed, as coy, coyly, gay, 
 gayly, &c. [We write now, gay , gaily. ED.] 
 
 Observations. 
 
 By attending to this rule, we detect a number of typo- 
 graphical errors, from which even our best dictionary is 
 not free; such as shyly, dryly, dryness, instead of shily, 
 drily, driness. Warburton, in his edition of Pope, every 
 where adheres to this analogy.

 Essay on Crit. 
 
 Though in the first edition of this Essay, published by 
 Pope himself, we find this word written dryly. Why the 
 y should be thus converted into i is not easily conceived, 
 unless it was feared we should confound words of our own 
 language with those derived from the Greek; for with re- 
 spect to the distinction of the plural number from the ge- 
 nirive case, as this does not prevent the similitude when a 
 vowel precedes, why should we fear a mistake between flys 
 and fly 's any more than between boys and boy's ? It is highly 
 probable that the origin of this insignificant and embarrass- 
 ing change of the y into i, arose from the taste and saga- 
 city of English printers, who considered the y as bearing 
 too little proportion to the number of the other letters, 
 and made this weighty reason the foundation of the altera- 
 tion. But this alteration once allowed by custom, even a 
 Baskerville must submit to it; and certainty being more 
 the object of language than perfect propriety, it would be 
 
INTRODUCTION. U 
 
 the last absurdity, to deprive a rule, which has nothing 
 else to recommend it, of its only merit uniformity. 
 
 APHORISM VII. 
 
 Words ending with any double letter but I, and taking 
 ness, /ess, ly, or ful, after them, preserve the letter double ; 
 as harmlessness, carelessness, carelessly, stiffness, stiffly, 
 successful, distressful, &c. ; but those words ending with 
 double /, and taking ness, less, ly, or ful, after them, omit 
 one /, as fulness, skilless, fully. 
 
 Observations. 
 
 Why one I should be omitted when less or ly is assumed, 
 may be easily conceived to arise from the uncouth appear- 
 ance three letters of the same kind would have when meet- 
 ing together; but why the analogy between these simples 
 and compounds should be destroyed when ness or ful is 
 assumed, is not easy to comprehend; why should we not 
 write dullness, fullness, skillful, and willful, as well as 
 stiffness, gruffness, crossly, and crossness? Nay, the pro- 
 priety of this orthography makes it almost impossible to 
 root it out entirely, and we find these four words, illness, 
 fellness, shrillness, and stillness, left in our best dictionary 
 with the double /, but a greater number of words of the 
 same form having the single I, as smalness, talness, chilnesSj 
 dulness, fulness, and the long catalogue of words of this 
 termination, as wilfulness, blissfulness, &c., sufficiently 
 show to which orthography custom has the greatest par- 
 tiality; and indeed as the rage for curtailing our language 
 of double letters seems incurable, the disease will at least 
 be more tolerable if we determine its progress to some 
 uniformity, and since there is no hope of restoring the 
 lost I to

 several typographical errors in our best dictionary, as care-

 APHORISM VIII. 
 
 JVcss, less, ly, and ful, added to words ending with silent 
 e, do not cut it off, as paleness, guileless, closely, peaceful, 
 &c. except e is preceded by a vowel, and then it is omitted, 
 as duly, truly, from due, and true. 
 
 Observations. 
 
 But what shall we say then to bluely, blueness, rueful, 
 &c. which, strange as it may seem, would be more agree- 
 ably to the general current of orthography, written bluly, 
 bluness, ruful, &c. The reasons seem to be these : wherever 
 the general laws of pronunciation in compounds supply 
 the place of serviles in simple words, there the serviles are 
 omitted; but bluly, bluness, ruful, &c. according to the 
 common rule of pronouncing would be as justly sounded 
 as bluely, blueness, rueful, &c. and at the same time would 
 preclude the possible mistake which might arise if the 
 simples blue and rue were not understood to be the roots 
 of the words in question; for in this case blueness and 
 rueful might be pronounced as if divided into blu-e-ncss 
 and ru-e-ful ; but as it is necessary the spelling should 
 convey the sound of the compound, without supposing a 
 previous knowledge of the simples, and without being 
 liable to a double pronunciation, the omission of e in bluly 
 and bluness, as well as in duly and truly, seems most ana- 
 logical. See Aphorism x. 
 
 This rule serves to rectify several mistakes of the press 
 in our best dictionary.

 Able and ible, when incorporated into words ending 
 with silent e, almost always cut it off, as blamable, curable,

 Observations. 
 
 This exception is founded on the necessity of showing 
 that the preceding c and g in these words are soft, which 
 might possibly be mistaken, and pronounced hard, if written 
 changable, peacable, &c. Another exception seems to take 
 place in the compounds of move and prove, which are ge- 
 nerally written moveable, proveable, &c. but on an inspec- 
 tion into all the compounds of these words in Johnson 's 
 Dictionary, we find the e so often omitted as to make it 
 very doubtful whether these words are an exception to the 
 general rule or not, for thus they stand :

 The uncertainty of our orthography in this class of words 
 may be presumed to arise from a confused idea of the ne- 
 cessity of ascertaining the sound of the simple by inserting 
 the silent e, and the general custom of omit ting this letter 
 when words are compounded with these terminations; and 
 
Xli INTRODUCTION. 
 
 it will require some attention to discover to which of these 
 modes of spelling we ought to give the preference; how- 
 ever, till better reasons are offered for a decision, let us 
 suppose the following. 
 
 The first object of spelling compound words seems to be 
 merely a conveyance of the sound, without necessarily sup- 
 posing a knowledge of the simples; that the elements of 
 which the compound is formed, may be sufficient of them- 
 selves to suggest their sound. The next object of spelling 
 compounds seems to be an omission of all serviles in the 
 simples which were not actually sounded, and whose use 
 may be supposed to be superseded in the compounds by the 
 general laws of English pronunciation, which, contrary to 
 those of the learned languages, suppose every accented 
 vowel to be long and open, which is followed but by a sin- 
 gle consonant. Thus the e in desirable is omitted, because 
 the common rules of pronunciation indicate that the accent 
 upon i, followed by a consonant succeeded by a vowel, with 
 the accent upon it, has necessarily the same sound as in 
 desire. But when the radical letters have not their ordi- 
 nary sound in the simples, the first law of orthography 
 takes place, and inserts the servile e to suggest the sound 
 of the simple, when blended with the compound; for 
 though we are frugal of our letters to a fault, yet when the 
 sound of any of the radical letters might be endangered by 
 such an omission, we then find the e preserved. Nor is a 
 previous knowledge of the simple supposed to be a suffi- 
 cient security, as in changeable, peaceable, &c. From hence 
 we may gather that every compound word is supposed to 
 convey its own sound agreeably to the common sound of 
 the letters, without the necessity of having recourse to a 
 knowledge of the simples from which it is formed, and 
 therefore as the sound of o in move, prove, &c. is not the 
 general sound of that letter, and consequently if the e were 
 not preserved to suggest the simple, it might be liable to 
 the sound of o in rove, grove, love, or shove, we find it per- 
 fectly agreeable to the first general law of English ortho- 
 graphy to retain the letter by which alone the sound of the 
 radical part of the word can be ascertained ; and therefore 
 as we very justly write moveable, proveable, &c., so we 
 ought to write removeable, improveable, &c. moving, prov- 
 ing, &c. being affections of the verbs move and prove. 
 
INTRODUCTION. xiii 
 
 necessarily suggest their simples, and make the insertion 
 of e unnecessary. See Aphorism iv. 
 
 With respect to reconcileable, unreconcileable, and recon- 
 cileableness, which we find in Johnson with the e, though 
 irreconcilable, irreconcilably, and irreconcilableness, are 
 without it, we must class these with saleable, tameable, 
 unshakeable, untameable, and sizeable ; for as these are the 
 only words of this form in the whole language where the 
 silent e is preserved, it is reasonable to suppose that its 
 insertion here was owing to the inadvertence either of the 
 author or printer; for as the preservation of e in these words 
 is founded on such reasons as would oblige us to preserve 
 the silent e in all compounds where it is now omitted, and 
 consequently entirely alter the current orthography, the 
 omission of it, wherever the preceding vowel or consonant 
 retains its general sound, is certainly the most analogical; 
 as there is no more reason for retaining the silent e in 
 saleable, tameable, &c. than in blamable, tunable, consum- 
 able, &c. : titlieable has a proper claim to the e, to show 
 that ill has its flat or obtuse sound. 
 
 APHORISM XI. 
 
 The verbs to lay, pay, and say, by an unaccountable 
 caprice, form their preterits and participles passive, by 
 changing y into i, and omitting e in the assumed termina- 
 tion ed ; and instead of layed, payed, sayed, we always 
 see laid, paid, said, which orthography is preserved in 
 their compounds, as unlaid, unsaid, repaid. This is an 
 exception to Aphorism ii. 
 
 APHORISM XII. 
 
 Words taken into composition often drop those letters 
 which were superfluous in their simples, as Christmas, 
 dungh.il, handful, &c. 
 
 Observations. 
 
 The uncertainty of our orthography in this article calls 
 loudly for reformation, and nothing can better show the 
 danger of indulging this excision, than a display of the 
 diversity that reigns in Johnson's Dictionary.

 The origin of this ridiculous irregularity which has pre- 
 vailed within these few years, is not hard to guess. Some 
 shallow writers, or perhaps printers, have heard that good 
 authors have complained that our language is clogged by 
 clusters of consonants. This was sufficient to set these 
 smatterers at work on so easy a business as that of un- 
 loading the language of its useless letters; and we find, 
 under the notion of useless letters, and clusters of conso- 
 nants, we are near being deprived of the most useful letters 
 we have. But words are evidently mistaken for things. 
 Clusters of consonants to the ear are very different from 
 assemblages of consonants to the eye; these are often no 
 more than double consonants of the same kind, and are 
 sounded as easily as single ones; but those knots of dis- 
 cordant consonants to the ear, however disgustful, are not 
 to be removed without entirely altering the language. The 
 clusters of consonants of which Mr. Addison complains, 
 are those that arise from sinking the intervening vowels 
 in pronunciation, as drown' d, walk'd, arriv'd, for drowned 
 walked, arrived. The double letters at the end of won Is, 
 which are ridiculously confounded with what is termed 
 clusters of consonants, as to install, windfall, handful f, 
 &c., are often so essentially necessary to 'preserve the true 
 sound from being mistaken, that if we deprive words of 
 one of these double letters, they are in danger of degene- 
 rating into a different sound : for what security have we 
 but a previous knowledge of the simples, which is contrary 
 to the first principles of our orthography, that the last 
 syllable of watcrfal is not to rhyme with the first of shal- 
 low, and the last of handful with the monosyllabic dull ? 
 
 Note. Some of these double letters have been inserted by the sub- 
 sequent editors of Johnson's Dictionary; b\it \\li.il;. r from the re- 
 marks here made, or their own sagacity, we are not informed. 
 
INTRODUCTION. XV 
 
 In short, as Mr. Elphinston very justly, as well as plea- 
 santly, observes, " Every reader, both young and old, 
 must now be so sagacious an analyst, as to discern at 
 once, not only what tire compounds, and what their sim- 
 ples, but that al in composition is equal to all out of it; 
 or, in other words, that it is, both what it is, and what it 
 is not." Prin. Eng. Lang. vol. i. p. 60. 
 
 Thus have I ventured, with a trembling hand, to point 
 out a few of the most glaring inconsistencies under which 
 the orthography of our language labours, without daring 
 to make the least step to a reformation myself; for if ever 
 this be done to any good purpose, it must certainly be by 
 the joint labour of both our universities; till when, no* in- 
 dividual can do better service to the orthography of his 
 country, than to let it remain as it stands at present in that 
 monument of English philology erected by Johnson. Those 
 who see beyond the surface, regret the many deviations 
 from that only standard of our language by the Greeklings 
 and Latinitasters of this smattering age ; and it is certainly 
 to be feared, that if this pruning of our words of all the 
 superfluous letters, as they are called, should be much 
 farther indulged, we shall quickly antequate our most re- 
 spectable authors and irreparably maim our language. 
 
 SYLLABICATION. 
 
 As the inverted order of arrangement gives us a con- 
 sistent idea of the structure of language, so a division 
 of words into syllables directs us in their sound; for the 
 division here adopted, is not founded on any rules drawn 
 from etymology, or the practice of languages essentially 
 different from our own, but on such principles as are the 
 result of the language itself, and arise naturally from the 
 very nature and practice of pronunciation. This part of 
 language, which has been left to chance and caprice, is of 
 all others the most important and delicate. Hardly any- 
 thing like a system has been chalked out, or have any rules 
 been given that have produced the least uniformity, or an- 
 swered any valuable purposes of pronunciation. Till Dr. 
 Kenrick's Rhetorical Dictionary, we have scarcely seen 
 anything like an attempt to divide words as they are pro- 
 nounced; but the Latin and Greek syllabication implicitly 
 
\vi INTRODUCTION. 
 
 :t<lpu-il, to the evident disadvantage of children, and em- 
 laiTassuient of foreigners j and for the very same reasons 
 that Ham us contends we ought to divide doctus and Atlas, 
 into do-ctus and A-tlas, Mr. Ward insists we must sepa- 
 rate magnet, poplar, lustre and reptile, into ma-gnet, po-plar, 
 lustre, and re-ptile. 
 
 Now if the end of syllabication may be supposed to be the 
 most likely method of directing us to the means, we shall 
 find nothing can be more absurd than such a division. For 
 the object of parcelling out a word into distinct portions, 
 seems to be to instruct us either in its etymology or pro- 
 nunciation. If in the division of words into syllables we 
 have only etymology in view, we must undoubtedly resolve 
 compounds into their simples, without paying the least at- 
 tention to the sound of these simples, either as united, or 
 in a state of separation. But though this method of syl- 
 labicating be very proper when we would investigate the 
 origin of a word and show its derivation, yet, when a dis- 
 tinctness of sound is the only object of such a division, as 
 is ever the case in the pronunciation of language, it would 
 be the highest absurdity to clog the instruction with etymo- 
 logical divisions, as these are frequently opposite to actual 
 pronunciation. Here then, sound alone should be the cri- 
 terion of syllabication, and we ought to reduce a compound 
 word to its simple impulses of the voice, as we would a 
 bar of music to its simple notes; for etymologists may 
 surely content themselves with their own divisions where 
 sound is not in question, without disturbing those whose 
 principal object is the conveying of sound, and who consi- 
 der etymology as entirely independent on it. 
 
 Easy, however, as such a division may appear at first 
 view, an attempt to extend it to every word in the lan- 
 guage, will soon convince us that the ear in a thousand 
 instances will prove but a very uncertain guide, without a 
 knowledge of those principles by which the ear itself is 
 insensibly directed, and which, having their origin in the 
 nature of language, operate with steadiness and regularity 
 in the midst of the ficklest affectation and caprice. It can 
 scarcely be supposed that the most experienced speaker 
 has heard every word in the language and the whole circle 
 of sciences pronounced exactly as it ought to be ; and it' 
 this be the case, he must sometimes have recourse to the 
 
INTRODUCTION. 
 
 principles of pronunciation, when his ear is either unin- 
 formed or unfaithful. These principles are those general 
 laws of articulation which determine the character, and fix 
 the boundaries of every language; as in every system of 
 speaking, however irregular, the organs must necessarily 
 fall into some common mode of enunciation, or the pur- 
 pose of Providence in the gift of speech would be abso- 
 lutely defeated. These laws, like every other object of 
 philosophical inquiry, are only to be traced by an attentive 
 observation and enumeration of particulars, and when these 
 particulars are sufficiently numerous to form a general rule, 
 an axiom in pronunciation is required. By an accumula- 
 tion of these axioms, and an analogical comparison of them 
 with each other, we discover the deviations of language 
 where custom has varied, and the only clew to guide us 
 where custom is either indeterminate or -obscure. 
 
 Thus, by a view of the words ending in ity or ely, I find 
 the accent invariably placed on the preceding syllable, as 
 in diversity, congru'ity, &c. On a closer inspection, I find 
 every vowel in this antepenultimate syllable, when no 
 consonant intervenes, pronounced long, as de'ity, pi'ety, 
 &c. : a nearer observation shows me that if a consonant in- 
 tervene, every vowel in this syllable but u contracts itself, 
 and is pronounced short, as severity, curiosity, impu'nity, 
 &c. I find too, that even u contracts itself before two 
 consonants, as cur'vity, tacitur'nity, &c., and that scarcity 
 and rarity (for whose irregularity good reasons may be 
 given), are the only exceptions to this rule throughout the 
 language. And thus we have a series of near seven hun- 
 dred words, the accentuation of which, as well as the 
 quantity of the accented vowel, is reduced to two or three 
 simple rules. 
 
 The same uniformity of accentuation and quantity, may 
 be observed in the first syllable of those words which have 
 the accent on the third, as dem-on-stra'tion, dim-i-nu'tion, 
 lu-cu-brdtion, &c., where we evidently perceive a stress on 
 the first syllable shortening every vowel but M, and this in 
 every word throughout the language, except where two 
 consonants follow the M, as in cur-vi-liri 'ear, or where two 
 vowels follow the consonant that succeeds any other vowel 
 in the first syllable, as de-vi-aftion ; or lastly, where the 
 word is evidently of our own composition as re-con-vetf : 
 
xviii INTRODUCTION. 
 
 but .-is n in the first syllable of a word, having ilu- :;vrnt 
 on the third has the same tendency to length and opeun.-s 
 as was observable when it preceded the termination ity ; I 
 find it necessary to separate it from the consonant in bit- 
 ty-ra'ceous, which I have never heard pronounced, as well 
 as in lu-cu-bra'tion, which I have, and this from no pre- 
 tended agreement with the quantity of the Latin words 
 these are derived from, for in the former word the u is 
 doubtful; but from the general system of quantity I see 
 adopted in English pronunciation. This only will direct 
 an English ear with certainty; for though we may some- 
 times place the accent on words we borrow from the 
 Greek or Latin on the same syllable as in those languages, 
 as acu'men, ekgi'ac, &c. ; nay, though we sometimes adopt 
 the accent of the original with every word of the same 
 termination we derive from it, as assidu'ity, viridity, &c. 
 yet the quantity of the accented vowel is so often contrary 
 to that of the Latin and Greek, that scarcely the shadow of 
 a rule can be drawn, in this point, from these languages 
 to ours. Thus in the letter in question, in the Latin ac- 
 cumulo, dubious, tumor, &c., the first u is every where short ; 
 but in the English words accumulate, dubious, tumour, every 
 where long. Nuptialis, murmur, turbulentus, &c. where the 
 u in the first syllable in Latin is long, we as constantly 
 pronounce it short in nuptial, murmur, turbulent, &c. Nor 
 indeed can we wonder that a different economy of quan- 
 tity is observable in the ancient and modern languages, 
 as in the former, two consonants almost always lengthen 
 the preceding vowel, and in the latter as constantly shorten 
 it. Thus, without arguing in a vicious circle, we find 
 that as a division of the generality of words as they are 
 actually pronounced, gives us the general laws of sylla- 
 bication, so these laws, once understood, direct us in the 
 division of such words as we have never heard actually 
 pronounced, and consequently to the true pronunciation 
 of them. For these operations, like cause and effect, re- 
 flect mutually a light on each other, and prove, thai 1 y 
 nicely observing the path which custom in language hu.s 
 once taken, we can more than guess at the line she must 
 keep in a similar case, where her footsteps are not quite 
 so discernible. So true is the observation of Scaliger, Ita 
 omnibus in rebus certissima ratione sibi ipsa respondet na- 
 tura. De causis Ling. Lat. 
 
INTRODUCTION. XIX 
 
 PRONUNCIATION. 
 
 Syllabication having sound for its object, and the 
 ciation of similar terminations contributing so largely to 
 facilitate syllabication, it is evident that the most obvious 
 advantage of this inverted prospect of our language is the 
 assistance it affords to pronunciation. In other dictiona- 
 ries, words of a totally different form promiscuously succeed 
 each other, while in this we find the words sorted by their 
 species as well as letters. It is recommended by Mr. She- 
 ridan, in his Lectures on Elocution, to select those words 
 which we find difficult to pronounce, and to repeat them 
 frequently till a habit is acquired. This rule is founded on 
 good sense and experience, and ought to be carefully at- 
 tended to by foreigners and provincials ; but if the difficulty 
 of pronouncing lies in the latter syllables, as is most fre- 
 quently the case, what immense labour must it be to select 
 these from a common dictionary ? But in this, how readily 
 are we introduced to the whole species of any termination 
 at once, and by seeing the whole class, gain an intimate 
 acquaintance with its specific orthography and pronuncia- 
 tion : for by this means, not only a more precise idea of the 
 spelling of words is obtained, and an opportunity of habit- 
 uating the organs to every difficult termination, but the 
 dependence of accent on termination is at large displayed, 
 and a habit induced of associating the stress with its cor- 
 respondent ultimate syllable. This view of accent will 
 show us that our language is much less irregular than is ge- 
 nerally imagined, and we soon discover termination to be, 
 as it were, a rudder to accent, a key that opens to us an 
 unexpected scene of uniformity, and proves, as Mr. Elphin- 
 ston admirably expresses it, "that speech, the peculiar 
 glory of rational intercourse, is neither given nor guided 
 by an arbitrary power, but that use in language, as in all 
 nature, is no other than the constant agency of harmony 
 and of reason." Prin. Eng. Lan. vol. i. p. 3. 
 
 There are few but must observe with what difficulty 
 children, and even youth, acquire a secure pronunciation 
 of the technical terms in the learned professions, and how 
 frequently they are at a loss for the sound of an English 
 word they have not been accustomed to, even at the time 
 they are making great advances in the learned languages. 
 
XX INTKODUCTION. 
 
 Tliis observation will naturally lead us to presume that 
 the present work, of all others, must be the most useful for 
 such schools aa are not entirely negligent of their mother 
 tongue. Here the words of any difficulty are selected in 
 a moment, and by being repeated a few times over in the 
 order they lie, will imbue the ear with such an accentual 
 rhythmus, if I may call it so, as will infallibly regulate the 
 pronunciation ever after. 
 
 The division and accentuation of words according to the 
 length or shortness of the vowels, is an advantage to pro- 
 nunciation which must strike the most cursory inspector. 
 The utility of such a method, if just and agreeable to the 
 analogy of the language, will be readily acknowledged by 
 those who arc so frequently disappointed in the inspection 
 of other dictionaries. It is not a little surprising that a 
 method of accentuation, so peculiarly useful, should till 
 lately have been almost entirely neglected. This defect in 
 the generality of our dictionaries did not escape the judi- 
 cious Mr. Sheridan, who insists largely on the utility of 
 placing the accent on the consonant, when the preceding 
 vowel is short, and on the vowel, when the vowel itself is 
 long; and though this does not specify the kind of vowel, 
 with respect to sound, which is the subject of accentuation, 
 it at least determines its quantity, and is so far infinitely 
 superior to the common method of placing the accent on 
 the vowel, whether it be long or short. 
 
 Another and almost exclusive advantage of the present 
 work is, that every monosyllable which swerves from the 
 general rule of pronunciation, is rhymed with such a word 
 as cannot possibly be pronounced otherwise than it is 
 written; or if this cannot be done, it is spelled in such a 
 manner as to take away all ambiguity. Thus as the more 
 general sound of the diphthong ea is like e long and open 
 in here, mere, &c. wherever it deviates from this sound, a 
 rhyme is inserted to ascertain its pronunciation; head 
 therefore is rhymed with bed, that it may not be liable to 
 the Scotch pronunciation of this word, as if spelled heed ; 
 and great is rhymed with bale, that it may be distinguished 
 from the sound the Irish are apt to give it, as if spelled greet. 
 A bow (to shoot with) is rhymed with go, and bow (an act of 
 reverence) with cow ; and prove, dove, &c. are determined 
 in their pronunciation by the univocal orthography proove, 
 
INTRODUCTION. XXI 
 
 j &c. ; by this means the stamina of our language, as 
 monosyllables may be called, are freed from ambiguity of 
 sound, and compounds rendered easier by fixing the pro- 
 nunciation of their simples. 
 
 RHYME. 
 
 The last, though perhaps the least, advantage of the fol- 
 lowing work, is the complete collection of all the rhymes in 
 the language. However insignificant it may seem in this 
 respect, it is at least new. For though Byshe has given 
 us a Dictionary of Rhymes at the end of his Art of Poetry, 
 his Dictionary, if it may be called so, does not contain six 
 thousand words, when Johnson's Dictionary, to which this 
 approaches nearer than any other, has very few short of 
 forty thousand. Here then, as in the French Dictionnaire 
 des Rimes of Richelet, the whole language is arranged 
 according to its similar endings, and the English are no 
 longer unfurnished with an assistance to versification, which 
 Abbe du Bos tell us the French poets Quoiqu'ils en discnt 
 Us ont tons ce livre dans leur arrtire cabinet. But had the 
 author seen no farther advantage in this work, than barely 
 furnishing similar sounds for the purposes of poetry, he 
 should have thought his labour ill bestowed. It is by no 
 means his intention to vindicate the cause of rhyme to the 
 least prejudice of a nobler verse, which is the peculiar glory 
 of the English as a living language ; nor will he insist on 
 the proofs, both from nature and experience, that rhyme 
 may be sometimes admitted to advantage, while Waller, 
 Dryden, and Pope are in every body's hands.* It will only 
 be necessary to observe, that for fear those who have been 
 accustomed to the common dictionary of rhymes annexed 
 to Byshe, should find a difficulty in discovering words by 
 this new arrangement, an index of Rhymes, much more co- 
 pious and correct than any hitherto published, is added, in 
 which the old method of classing the words is continued, 
 and a new and numerous class of allowable rhymes pointed 
 out, with authorities for their usage from our best poets; 
 but for a more satisfactory account of this part of the work, 
 see the Preface to the Index, at the end of this Dictionary. 
 
 * See the subject of rhyme judiciously discussed by Mr. Rice, in hie 
 Art of Reading. 
 
XXli INTRODUCTION. 
 
 AN 
 
 IDEA OF THE ARRANGEMENT OF WORDS 
 IN THIS DICTIONARY. 
 
 As in other dictionaries words follow each other in an alphabetical 
 order according to the letters they begin with, in this they follow i-ndi 
 other according to the letters they end with. All words therefore that 
 cud with a are placed first in this Dictionary ; as all those that begin 
 with a are placed first in other Dictionaries ; those that end with b are 
 placed next, and so of the rest. The directing letters at the top of 
 each page, are likewise in the same order; that is, they are the last 
 letters of words instead of the first. 
 
 DIRECTIONS FOR FINDING WORDS. 
 
 In looking for a word, the last letter is to be sought first, the last but 
 one next, and so on from the last to the first letters of a word in an 
 order exactly contrary to that of other dictionaries. Thus, if I want 
 to find the word Idea, I must first look for a, among those words which 
 end with a ; these I find in the page opposite to this. The next letter 
 I want is e, I therefore look among those words that end with a, for a 
 word whose last letter but one is e, and find it in the word Paimrui, 
 the seventeenth word from the top ; the next letter d, I look for among 
 those words that end with ea, and find it in the word after Panacea, 
 which is the word I sought. So that for the last letter of a word, I 
 look among those words ending with the same letter ; for the last letter 
 but one of a word, I look among the last letters but one of these words, 
 and so of the rest. 
 
 It must be particularly noted, that the directing letters on the top of 
 each page, are to be looked for in the same order, that is, from the 
 right hand to the left. 
 
 The best way to avoid confusion, will be to look for the letters one 
 by one, and to begin with the first word of every class, and so proceed 
 downwards till the word is found. Thus, if 1 want to find the word 
 Alphabet, I keep the last letter t in my mind, and turn to that part of 
 the Dictionary where the words ending with t are classed, which is 
 near the end. The first word of this class I find to be at ; the next 
 letter I want is e; I therefore run my eye down the last letter but one 
 of this class till I come to bet, the next letter I want is a, which leads 
 me to fix my eye upon the fourth letter from the last, which brings me 
 to ubet, and so of the rest. 
 
 As this arrangement is perfectly simple, two or three trials will 
 render it as intelligible as the common order, especially if the word 
 we look for be first written down, and carried along with the eye in 
 its search.

PREFACE 
 
 TO THE 
 
 INDEX OF PERFECT AND ALLOWABLE RHYMES. 
 
 As the principal object of the preceding Syllabic Dictionary was to 
 throw light on the structure, orthography, and pronunciation of 
 our language, it was necessary to adhere strictly to the inverted 
 order of arrangement, that terminations of similar orthography 
 might be classed together, though those of similar sound would 
 sometimes, by this means, be separated ; but as the inverted posi- 
 tion of the words, though the simplest that could be chosen for 
 this purpose, may possibly at first embarrass the inspector for 
 poetry, an index of rhymes is annexed in the same order as in 
 Poole and Byshe, though much more copious and correct, besides 
 a reference to an almost infinite number of allowable rhymes, with 
 authorities for their usage from our best poets. As an index to 
 allowable rhymes is an attempt perfectly new, it may not be im- 
 proper to make a few observations with respect to its utility, and 
 answer some objections to which it may be liable. 
 
 OBS. 1. Whatever has been constantly practised by our most 
 harmonious poets may be safely presumed to be agreeable to the 
 genius of our poetry: it is highly probable that our prosody has 
 passed its meridian, and that no reformation can possibly be made 
 without injuring it. The delicate ears of a Pope or an Addison, 
 would scarcely have acquiesced in the usage of imperfect rhymes, 
 and sanctified them so often by their practice, if such rhymes had 
 been really a blemish. The same masculine force that supports 
 our poetry without the assistance of any rhyme at all, seems to 
 exempt it from that servile attention to perfectly similar rhymes, 
 to which the French versification is inviolably bound. Nay, so 
 far from a defect, that there seems to be sometimes a beauty in 
 departing from a perfect exactness of rhyme, as it agreeably breaks 
 that sameness of returning sounds on the expecting ears which in 
 poetry, perhaps as in music, requires something like an occasional 
 discord to make even harmony itself more agreeable. 
 
 OBS. 2. But though an English ear will freely admit of a rhyme 
 between a long and short sound of the same vowel, and sometimes 
 
 (667) 
 
658 PREFACE. 
 
 even between the long and short sounds of different vowels, yet these 
 vowels that are suffered to rhyme are not of a different nature, 
 though called by a different name. The inaccuracy with which they 
 are denominated has but very little influence on the practice of our 
 poets, who, trying them by the only infallible touchstone, the ear, 
 discover the relation between similar vowels, better than by a 
 grammatical analysis. By the usage of poets, we find the vowels 
 frequently associated according to their radical sound, and that a 
 union is lawful between any vowels of the same family, as it may 
 be called, though the same may be different; therefore, as the e 
 in led is by no means the real short sound of that letter as heard in 
 its name, or in the word gkde, it is no wonder if the poets very 
 often associate it with the slender a, as heard in lade, and of which 
 it is really the short sound. The same may be observed of almost 
 every other imperfect rhyme we meet with; if the family sound 
 of the vowel be preserved, the ear acknowledges the affinity ; if a 
 vowel of a totally different sound be assumed, the ear immediately 
 detects the incongruous mixture. 
 
 Thus the different sounds of the vowels, i, e, a, o, u, slide into 
 each other by an easy gradation, each of which is sufficiently related 
 to the preceding and succeeding sound to form what is called an al- 
 lowable rhyme. And though it must be confessed that poets have 
 sometimes abused the liberty of rhyming, and wounded the ear by 
 an association of discordant vowels, yet this is no argument against 
 the occasional use of such rhymes as are but gentle inflections of 
 the same radical sound, as these circulate freely through our best 
 compositions, and actually form a part of our prosody. 
 
 OBS. 3. It will be necessary, therefore, to observe, that although 
 authorities are not brought for the usage of every individual allow- 
 able rhyme, the species of these rhymes, if I may call them so, are 
 amply and repeatedly illustrated. For the same ear which allows 
 glass to rhyme with place, or place with peace and distress, will per- 
 mit decay' d to rhyme with ./?/, and shade with mead; for the con- 
 sonants with which they terminate do not alter the nature of the 
 preceding vowels, or occasion any diversity in the quality of the 
 rhyme. It would, therefore, have been sufficient to have adduced 
 a much smaller number of poetical examples than are here given ; 
 as they are all founded on the same principles, and must necessarily 
 stand or fall together. 
 
 It may be objected, that a work of this kind contributes to 
 extend poetic blemishes, by furnishing imperfect materials and 
 apologies for using them. But it may be answered, that if these 
 
PREFACE. G59 
 
 feet rhymes were allowed to be blemishes, it would still be better 
 to tolerate them, than cramp the imagination by the too narrow 
 boundaries of exactly similar sounds. A want of perfect rhyme, 
 if a real imperfection, is fully compensated by gaining access to a 
 more eligible turn of thought; the most exact and harmonious 
 rhyme would be dearly purchased at the expense of the most de- 
 licate abatement in the strength or beauty of an expression. And 
 as Byshe supposes that the difficulty of finding rhymes has been 
 the cause that such indifferent ones have been frequently chosen, 
 so it may with as much reason be presumed that the want of re- 
 collecting the licenses of our best writers, and how agreeable they 
 occasionally are to the nature of our poetry, has often been the 
 cause, either of choosing a weak expression for the sake of perfect 
 rhyme, or of relinquishing a valuable one for no other reason than 
 the want of it. 
 
 DIRECTIONS FOR FINDING RHYMES IN THE INDEX. 
 
 The simplest idea of the rhymes in this arrangement is, that the 
 words are divided into five classes according to the vowel in their 
 terminations : the first vowel in the last syllable of every word is 
 first to be sought for, and every other subsequent letter in its na- 
 tural order, that is, from the left hand to the right. Thus, if I 
 want a rhyme to hand, I look in the first class of vowels a ; the next 
 letter is n, which obliges me to proceed till I come to ban, bran, 
 &c.; the next letter is d, which I find after ANCH, and before I 
 come to ANE. If I want a rhyme to command, a is the first vowel 
 in the last syllable, and I proceed therefore as in hand, and so of 
 every other; but as every arrangement of words but the natural 
 is attended with difficulty, I shall endeavour to make the rule for 
 finding rhymes as plain as possible, by adopting the directions of 
 Byshe, omitting that only which relates to the letter y, as custom 
 has entirely excluded the termination ie in the words defy, rely, 
 &C., which in his time were frequently written defie, relit, &c. 
 
 1. In looking for a word, consider the five vowels, A, E, I, O, V, 
 and begin at the vowel that precedes the last consonant of the 
 word ; for example, to find persuade, and the words that rhyme 
 to it, D is the last consonant, A the vowel that precedes it ; look 
 for ADE and you will find made, fade, invade, and all the other 
 words of that rhyme. 
 
 2. In like manner, if a word end in two or more consonants, begin 
 at the vowel that immediately precedes the first of them ; for ex- 
 
PREFACE. 
 
 ample, land, N is the first of the final consonants, A the vowel that 
 precedes it ; see AND, and you will find band, stand, command, &c. 
 
 3. But if a diphthong, that is to say, two or more vowels together, 
 precedes the last consonant or consonants of a word, begin at the 
 first of these two vowels ; thus, to find the rhymes to disdain, look 
 not for IN, but for AIN, and you will find brain, chain, gain, &c. 
 
 4. To find a word that ends in a diphthong preceded by a conso- 
 nant, begin only at the first vowel of the diphthong ; for example, to 
 find the rhymes to subdue, look for UE, and you find clue, due, 
 ensue, &c. 
 
 6. All the words that end in a single vowel preceded by a con- 
 sonant are found by looking for that vowel only, except always the 
 words that end in mute E, which are constantly found by the same 
 method that has been already prescribed for finding the rhymes to 
 persuade, whose final E is silent, and serves only to lengthen the 
 sound of the A in the last syllable. 
 
 ADVERTISEMENT. 
 
 CARE has been taken in the compiling of this Index to class rhymes 
 together with the most scrupulous precision. Such as are called 
 perfect rhymes are exactly similar ; those that differ by nicer 
 shades are called nearly perfect, and the rest allowable only. So 
 that this collection of words is in some measure a dictionary of 
 pronunciation, and may answer very useful purposes to foreigners 
 and provincials, who, by understanding the sound of one word, 
 may become acquainted with the pronunciation of a whole class. 
 Thus, if I would know how the word gross is pronounced, that is, 
 whether according to the French or English analogy, I look into 
 that rank of words which terminate in oss, but do not find it: I 
 then look among those in ose, and find it rhymes perfectly with 
 verbose, jocose, &c. And at the same time I avoid being misled by 
 the licenses of poets in their different usage of the looser and 
 less perfect rhymes. 
 
 No notice need be taken of the advantages arising from instances 
 being given of plurals and participles, as lays, days, obeyed, platfd,

 independent of its connection with the Pronouncing Dictionary, 
 greatly superior to every other work of the kind in our language.

706 INDEX. 
 
 I have purposely omitted many licences I might have produced, aa 
 judging them in reality too licentious. Among these, however, I do not 
 reckon this of Sternhold and Hopkins, of Gothic memory : 
 
 And how he did commit their fruits 
 
 Unto the caterpillar, 
 And eke the labour of their hands 
 
 Ho gave to the yrasthoppcr. 
 
 These reverend versifiers of the Psalms, who for centuries have been 
 the constant butt of criticism, are now fallen below it. The rhymes I 
 have passed by are such as belong to more respectable names. 
 
 With kind embraces, such as / 
 'Twist about my loving she. OLDHAH. 
 
 Draw next the patron of that tree, 
 
 Draw Bacchus and soft Cupid by. OLDHAM. 
 
 Our thoughtless sex is caught by outward form 
 And empty noise, and loves itself in Man. DRTDEN. 
 
 My parents are propitious to my wish, 
 
 And she herself consenting to the bliss. DKYDEN. 
 
 One sees her thighs transformed; another view* 
 
 Her arms shoot out, and branching into boughs. ADDIS ON. 
 
 Wit kindled by the sulph'rous breath of vice, 
 
 Like the blue light'ning, while it shines destroys. POPE. 
 
 But notwithstanding these, and some other vices of the same kind, 
 which some of our most respectable poets have inadvertently fallen 
 into, there are few inspectors into this Index but must observe an obvi- 
 ous analogy between the vowels in the generality of the instances pro- 
 duced ; and that however uncouthly they may sound when pronounced 
 alone, they give no disgust to an English ear, when introduced at proper 
 intervals ; but it is not so much my intention to apologize for the use of 
 these imperfect rhymes, as to show how they are used, and upon what 
 authority. It is certain they may be used too frequently, and that they 
 are far from being all equally agreeable to the car. In short, the same 
 taste and delicacy are necessary in this, as in the more essential i>:irt <>f 
 poetry ; beauties and blemishes often differ but by nice shades, and it ia 
 the master alone who can discern that point where boldness i 
 rates into harshness, and correctness into frigidity.
