PREFACE.
Tins Dictionary was first stereotyped and printed in 1830; and
since that time, numerous impressions of it have been issued from the
press. In 1846, the "Universal and Critical Dictionary" of the Com-
piler was published ; and this smaller Dictionary has now been care-
fully revised and considerably enlarged ; and, in its present state, it is
made substantially an epitome or abridgment of the larger work. The
Principles of Pronunciation have been inserted, the several vocabu-
laries have all been considerably increased, and all parts of the work
will be found to be materially improved. The volume contains, in all
its vocabularies, upwards of 67,000 words.
In the preparation of this work, the Compiler has endeavored to
adapt it to the use of schools and academies, and also to fit it for
supplying such wants of families and individuals as can be supplied
by a small and cheap manual. It has been rendered as complete as
its limits would permit, with respect to all well-authorized English
words, and also all other words in relation to \Vhich an English
reader most wants information, as to their orthography, pronunciation,
or meaning. Thus it comprises, in addition to the common words
of the language, numerous technical terms in the various arts and
sciences, some ^ords which are obsolete or antiquated, but which are
found in books that are much read, some which are local or pro-
vincial, some which are peculiar to the United Slates, and a large

number of such words and phrases, from foreign languages, as are
often met with in English books. These several classes of words
are respectively noted or discriminated.
The active or transitive, and the neuter or intransitive, verbs are
carefully distinguished, the irregular verbs are conjugated, and the
plural forms of irregular nouns are exhibited.
The definitions are necessarily concise ; but they will, perhaps, b^
found as comprehensive and exact as could be reasonably expected
in a manual of the sort; and, in m:niy instances, technical, obso-
lete, provincial, and American uses of words are pointed out and ex-
plained. The design has been, to give the greatest quantity of useful
matter in the most condensed form, and to guard against corruptions
in writing and speaking the language.
In adjusting the orthography of this Dictionary, much care has been
used ; and, in doing it, attention has been paid to usage, etymology,
and analogy. In- cases in which good usage is divided, etymology and
analogy have been consulted in deciding disputable points; but no
innovation has been attempted in relation to matters of invariable and
settled usage. The subject of orthography presents many difficulties,
inasmuch as there are various irregularities which cannot be easily
reduced to consistency, and there is a considerable number of word?
re?{)ectiug the orthography of w'hich good usage is divided. Th(^
reader will find, in the introductory part of this volume, some remarks
on this subject, and also a copious vocabulary of Words of Doubtful
o- Various Orthography
In the preparation o^ i\i\s v!OX^, pronunciation has been made a
special object, and has received particular attention. A peculiar fea-
ture of this Dictionary, and also of the "Universal and Critical
PREFACE. 5
Dictionary," consists in the exhibition of authorities respecting words
of various, doubtful, or disputed pronunciation ; and these works
are so constructed as to exhibit, in relation to all this class of
words, which form the most essential part of a pronouncing dictionary,
the modes in which they are pronounced by all the most eminent
English orthoepists.
With respect to the pronunciation of most of the words of the
English language, all the orthoepists are substantially agreed, thoif^h
they differ a good deal in their mode of rq)reseiiting it. The number
of English words respecting the pronunciation of which there is any
important difference, may be stated at about 2000 ; and it is on ac-
count of these words that a pronouncing dictionary is chiefly wanted.
There is much difference in the pronunciation of many of these
words, both among the best orthoepists, and among the best speakers
of the language. It is not possible that any one orthoepist shouM
know, from personal observation, what is the best usage with respect
to all these words ; and no one who is scrupulous about his pronun-
ciation, will be willing to place implicit reliance on any single ortho-
epist, but he will wish to know, in relation to doubtful matters, the
different modes adopted by all who are entitled to be regarded as of
much authority. The reader who is desirous of this sort of informa-
tion, may here find it condensed in a small space, and be s})ared the
labor of searching for it in many volumes.
In relation to the pronunciation of many of the words about
which orthoepists differ, it is difficult to decide which mode is to be
preferred ; and it is not to be supposed that the mode for which the
Compiler has indicated a preference, will, in all cases, be esteemed
the best ; but even when it is not, the reader will find the mode which
he may prefer enclosed within the brackets, and supported by ita
proper authority.

6 PREFACE.
The vocabularies of Greek, Latin, and Scripture Proper Names,
"which are inserted in this volume, have been revised with much care
About 3000 Greek and Latin names have been added to those which
are found in Walker's "Key to the Classical Pronunciation of Greek,
Latin, and Scripture Proper Names ; " and the pronunciation of a
number of words, in relation to which Walker has been shown by
other prosodists to be incorrect, has been corrected.
The vocabulary of Modern Geographical Names, with their pro-
nunciation, which was first annexed to this Dictionary in the edition
that was published in 1835, is supposed to be the first considerable
vocabulary of the kind ever added to an English dictionary. This
vocabulary has now been somewhat enlarged, and, imperfect as it must
necessarily be, may, nevertheless, be found a useful appendage to
a pronouncing dictionary.
The Compiler has much reason to be gratified by the manner in
which this Dictionary has been noticed by many distinguished lit-
erary men, as well as by the reception which it has met with
from the public generally. Although he is aware it must still have
many imperfections, 3^et he flatters himself that, in its present state,
it will be found more worthy of the liberal patronage which it has
heretofore received.

i'lMNCIPLEH OF PRONUNCIATION.
REMARKS ON THE KEY.
I. The words whidi are used in the preced-
ing Key, as examples for illustrating the several
■omuls, exhihit accurately, when pronounced by
correct s[)eakers, the different sounds of the
resp(?ctive letters. Pome distinctions are here
made whicli are not found in nu)st other systems
rf notation ; they are, however, not intended to
introduce any new sounds, hut merely to dis-
cruninat(; such as are now heard from all vvlio
Bjx'ak the l;uiiiua//', iflri'^ lidn/en ; i in pain,
heifer; u in indsun, famuiis; u in ihougk; and w
infl^Ulnr., are not sounded.
:?. 'J'he system of in)tation which is liere used,
wliih- it makes a very evaci discrimination of
the dim-rent sounds of Uie i.'tters, will l)e r<;adily
understood jtud fMsily rijiplicd to practice ; aiul
it will also he much more easily rememltered,
than a system in whicli the vowels are marked
with fiirures. Ily applying' tht^ marks to tlu^ let-
ters of the words in llieir projitr ortlio;.'ra|)hy,
the luHU'ssity of respellint; most of them has been
avoided ; and in this way much space iias heen
saved, while the prouunciati(ui is ti.xed with as
nmc!) exa( tsu'ss as if the spelling of every word
had heen rejveated.
4. It is an advantage of this method of nota-
tion, that it distinguishes the syllables which
receive a secomlary acceiit, or are jironouiu'ed
with a distinct sound of the vowels, from those
I which are but slightly or indistinctly sounded
j A great part of the words of the Englisii Ian-
I guage that have more than two syllables, liave
{ more than one syllable in some degree accent(!d_
! or pronoun(;ed more distinctly than the rest; yet
I this ditlerence in distinctness is not made ai)par-
I e)it by the usual modes of marking the words.
j In this notation, tlie vowels in the syllables
which have either the primary or secondary ac
I cent, have a mark jjlaced ovt^r them denoting
I a distinct sound; while tliose which are more
I feebly uttered have a dot placed under them.
Take, for exami)le, the following words, which
' are thus noted : sun'shlne, pa'per, a.ii'cc-(Iote,ca.r-
j q-van', llf.'er-al, t)id!i-ife:,-tA'i'tiQn, iit-di-vis-i-btl'-
i-ty. In these words, it will be readily perceived,
I that all the vowels which have a mark placed
: (.ver them have a distinct sound, or are more or
i less accented, while those whic'.i have a dot
I under tlieni are but slightly or inc'jstinctly sound
I ed ; and that the [)ronunciatiof is as clearly rep-
{ resented to the eye in their })'oper orthogra|)hy,
: as it is, in otiier methods of notation, by respell-
j ing tlie words.
I 5. There are many cases in which the vowels
I are pronounced with so slight a degree of dis-
j tiuctness, that it may be a matter of indifference
I whether they are marked with the distinct or
indistinct sound ; as, for example, the last sylla
ble of the words consonant, diffident, feeMeness,
and obrions, might, with nearly equal propriety,
j have the vowels marked with a sJioit or an in-
! distinct sound.
1
SOUNDS OF THE VOWELS.
C). The frsf., or fnntr, sound of each of the
vowtls, marked thus, a,S,t,o,v, is styled its
afpkabriic or vame sound, being the sound which
is heard in naming tlie letter. The sound of
tlie letter //, \\hen used as a vowtil, is the same
as that of i ; but as a vowel, it l)Cgins no prop-
erly Englisii word.
7. The hmg sound of the vowels is generally
indicated, in monosyllaliles, by a silent e at the
end of the word, preceded by a single conso-
nant, as in fate, mate, pine, note, tube, type.
The following words, however, are exceptions ;
namely, have, are, and bade, the preterit of to bid.
The vowels have regularly the long sound if
final in an accented syllable, as in ba'sis, legal,
tri'al, sono'roas, cu'bic, ty'rant.
8. The second, or short, sound of the vowels is
generally indicated, in monosyllables, by the
absence of mute e at the end of the word, as
in fat, Vict, pin, vot, tub, hyp. It is also tha
usual sound of a vowel in an accented syllable
which ends vsith a consonant, as in aban'don,
atten'tive, ezhib'it, lacon'ic, reluc'tant, hr'ical.
9. The fourth sounc' of the vowels i, e, i, o,
and u, and the third sound of y, (called, witlj
respect to e, i, u, and y. short and obtuse,) maikei]
SOUNDS OF THE VOWELS.
11
thus, a, a, i, 'd, it, y, is tlie shirrt sound of these
several vowels, wlien followed hy r, in a mon-
'^yllable or in an accented syllalile, unless the
succeeding syllable beijins with the sound of
; as, far, hard; ker, herd; fir, firkin; nor, north;
fur, burden ; myrrh, viyrtte. Some orthoepists
make no distinction between the sound indicated
by this mark and the proper short sound of tliese
vowels ; others make a distinction in relation to
u part of tliem only. Tlie v»%vels having this
mark are pronounced with as short a sound as
they readily receive when tlius situated. Tlie
peculiar character of this sound, which distin-
guishes it from tlie proper short sound of tiie
vowels, is caused by the letter r ; and this letter,
thus situated, has an analogous influence on the
sound of all the vowels. Tlie difference between
the sound of the vowels when thus situated, and
theirproper short sound, will be readily perceived
by the following examples •, as, m&ii, mdrrow ; mar,
niilrt ; — »//?«, mi^rrij : her, vi'erchant ; — /In, mlr-
ror; fir, viirtJi ; — itdt, bSrrow : nor, border; —
cS.n, hurry ; fi'ir, hh'trdle. There is little or no
diffjreuce in the s<»unds of the vowels e, i, u,
and y, wiken under this mark ; as, h'cr,f'ir,f\ir,
myrrh ; but their proper short sounds are widely
•iifferent, wlun followed by r, as well as by
othei consonants, as in merry, ■mirror, hurry.
— See remarks on the sound of the letter R,
page 18.
10. Vowels marked with the dot or period
underneath, ami y unmarked, thus, a, c, r, 5,
u, 7/, are found only in syllables which are not
uccented, and over whicii the organs of s|>eech
pass slightly and liastily, in pronouncing the
words in which they are found, 'i'his mark
is employepress«'d
in drivel, gmvel, hearken, hcaveii, &c.
15 The sound of tlie letter c is generally sup
pressed in the preterites of verbs and in partiei-
plcs in ed, when the e is not prectulcd by d or t ;
as, feared, praised, admired, tossed, suppressed, ]»o-
nounced /mrJ, praisd, admird, tost, supprest.
I.
Ifi. The long sound of the letter i Is lieard
not only in monosyllables ending with a mute
e, as in file, time, &:c., but ai.-;o in tlie word pint,
and in tlje words child, viild, wild ; al.so in bind,
blind, find, hind, kind, inind, rind, &c.
17. There is a class of words, mostly derived
from the Frencli and Italian languages, in which
i retains the sound of long c ; as, aviber/rris, an-
tique, bombazine, brazil, capivi, capuchin, caprice,
cliaip-in, chcvaux-de-frL-
nants ; [^e A, page 11 ;] and the same remarks
v^ ill apply in the present case, as to the one re-
ferred to, namely, that, chough the broad sound
is vulgar, there is an aftectation in a palpable
effvirt to avoid it in words where its use seems
at one time to have been general. In such ca-^es,
■■i medium between the extremes is the jiractice
of the best eiKJukers." The sound of o is also
somewhat prolonged in gone, and begone, and
tn some words ending in ng ; as, long, along,
prcng, song, strong, thong, tJirong, wrong.
22. There are a few words in which o has
the same sound as u in bull, or as on in good :
namely, bosom, wtHf, woman, fVooLcy, IVulrer-
kavipton. It has the sound of short n in done,
eon, &:c. ; and the sound of ii (as in hurt) in
'u'ord, work, worth, (fcc.
23. In many words enrling in on, the sound
of is suppressed, as in bacon, pardon, weapon,
reason, cotton, &,c.
u.
24. With respect to tlie manner of designating
lite sound of the vowel u when it comes immedi-
ately after the accent, as in the words ediirate,
nature, natural, in which both
vowels are sounded j as, oi in voice, ou in found,

30. This is a Latin diiihthong, and is always
Song ui Latin. In English, it is used only in
vv ords of Latin origin or formation ; as, aqua vita:,
minutia;, msthctic-i ,- and it is sometimes long, as
in ycean, and sonK'tinies short, as in D (iiiiUthoiig occurs! only in the word
fffivl. iirououiiced, as well as very often written,
jail.
AU.
33. The roninu)ri sound of this diphthong is
the sanu- as tii;U of brotui «, or uw, caul and luiul
bviug prouiHinced exactly like call and hall.
Hut when these letters are fjHowed by n and
another consoiuiirt, the soiin.l is changed, in a
TJUinber of words, to that of the Italian a in far
and faJthrr ; as, by most of the orthoepists, in the
following words: aunt, craunch, daunt, flaunt,
(raunt, gauHtlel, luiunch, haunt, jaunt, jaundice,
laundress, laundry, maund, paunch, saunter,
staunch. Some orthoepists pronounce a part
of these words witii the sound of broad a, as
most of them do the word vaunt. In the words
lauffh and draught, this diphthong has likewise
the sound of a in far ; in gauge, the sound of
long a, (as in page ;) in hautboy, the sound of
long ; and in cauliflower, laudanum, and laurel.
it is commonly pronounced with the sound oi
short ; as, ciil'iflower, &c.
AW.
34. This diphthong has the souiul of broad a,
bawL and ball being pronounced exactly alike.
AY.
35. This diphthong has the sound of long a, a3
in pay, hay, &c. ; except in quay, which is pro-
nounced ke. It has the sound of short e in says;
and in Sunday, Monday, &c., the last syllable is
pronounced as if written Sundy, Mondy.
EA.
36. The regular sound of this diphthong ia
that of long c ; as in beat, hear, pronounced liko
beet, here ; but there are many words in which it
has the sound of short c ; as, head, dead, ready ^
&c. In a few words it has the sound of long a ;
as in break, steak, great, bear, bearer , forbear , for-
swear, pear, swear, tear, wear. In some words it
has the sound of a in far ; as in heart, hearten,
hearty, hearth, hearken ; and, when unaccented,
it has only an obscure sound, as in vengeance,
sergeant.
EAU.
37. This triphthong is used only in words
derived from the French. In beauty it has the
sound of long xi; but its regular sound is that of
long 0, as in beau, bureau, flambeau, . This diphthong is pronounced like long o
in yeoman, and like long e-in people ; like short e
in jeopard, jeopardy, leopard, feofie, feoffer, feoff-
%,ent; like broad o (as in nor) in georgic; like
long u in feod, feodal, feodary, (which are written

written fetus,) in which it has the sound of
long e.

48. This diphthong is found only in the word
manmvvre, and it has the sound of oo in moon,

nouncing Dictionaries, by tlie sound of broad o,
(as in nor,) and short i.
OO.
50. The regular sound of this diphthong is
heard in moon, food, stoop ; and it is the same aa
that of single o in mocc, prove.

understood, withstood, wood, and wool; and also,
according to some orthoepists, in rook and soot
Walker says, that ^^foot, good, hood, stood, wn-
derstood, witlistood, wood, and wool, are the ohI§
words where this diphthong has this middle
sound." But the rest of the words above enu-
menited are pronounced with the same sound
of this diphthong by other orthoepists, as well
as by common usage. Smart says that the pro-
nunciation assigned by Walker to book (6fiJfc)
" is a decided provincialism."
52. This diphthong has the sound of long o
in door and fiMor ; and of short u in blood and
fiood.

SOUNDS OF THE CONSONANTS.
60. The consotiauts are divided into mutes
and semi-vowels. Tlie unites cannot be sounded
flt all without the aid of a vowel. TJiey are b,
d, k, p. t, and c and g hard.
Gl. The semi-vowels have an imperfect sound
of themselves. I'hcy are/, I, m, n, r, s, v, x, z,
and c ami g soft.
f.2. 'I'lie four semi-vowels, I, m, n, and r, are
also called liquids, because they readily unite
witl) other consonants, (lowing, as it were, into
llieir sounds.
('.3. 'J'lie following consonants are styled den-
tnls, namely, d, j, s, t, :, and g soft, being pro-
nounced chiefly by llie aid of the teeth; d, g,j,
/.-, /, n, and q, are called palatals, from tlic use
UMide of the palate in pronouncing them ; b, p
f, V, and ?n, are called labials, being jironounced
chiefly by the lips; m, n, and the digraph ng,
are sailed nasals, being sounded through the
nose ; and k, q, and c and g hard, are called
gutturals, being sounded by the throat.
1?.
04. B, preceded by vi in the same syllab'e
is generally silent ; as, lamb, limb, comb, duml.
&.C. ; but succumb is an exception. It is silent
also before t in the same syllable, as in debt
doubt, redoubt, &c.
c.
6.'). This letter is hard, and sounds like k, bo
fore a, o, and u ; and it is sof\, and sounds like
s, before e, i, and y ; except in sceptic and scir-
rhus and their derivatives, in winch it i) haul,
like k.
Of). When c comes after the accent, and is flil-
lowed by ca, ia, io, or eous, it takes, like s and /,
the sound cif sh: as, ocean, social, tenacious, ceta-
ceous. In the words discern, sacrifice, and snjice,
and in several words derived from them, and
also in the word siee, c has the sound of z.

CH.
67. The regular Englisl sound of this digraph
is the same as tliat of th, or tsh, as in chair,
child, rich, church. AVhen ch follows / or n, as
In belch, bench, filch, Walker, Jameson, and Ful-
ton, designate the sound by sh, as, belsh, bensh,
filsh; but other orthoepists, Sheridan, Perry,
Jones, Knowles, and Smart, give to ch, thus
situated, the same sound as in rich.
68. In words derived from the ancient lan-
guages, ch is geneialiy hard like k, as in ache,
alchemy, anarch, anarchy, anchor, anchoret, ca-
chexy, catechism, chalcography, chahjbeate, cliame-
Icon, chamomile, chaos, character, chasm, chely,

are charity, chart, and charter. Ch is hard in all
words in which it is followed by I or r ; as,
chlorosis. Christian.
69. When arch, signifying chief, begins a
word from the Greek language, and is followed
by a vowel, it is pronounced ark, as in arch-
angel, architect, archive, archipelago, arclietype,
archiepLiCopal, archidiaconal , architrave, archaism,
archeology ; but when . arch is prefixed to an
Englisli word, it is pronounced so as to rhj^me
with march ; as, archbishop, archduke, arclirfiend.
In drachm, schism, and yacht, ch is silent.
D.
70. The termination ed, assumed by the pre-
terite and participle, in some words takes the
eound of d, added to the preceding syllable ,• as,
healed, sealed, pronounced hcald, senld ; and in
Pome it takes the sound of t, added in the same
manner ; as, distressed, mixed, pronounced dis-
Irest, mixL Some words, which, when used
as participles, are pronounced in one syllable,
are, when used as adjectives, pronounced in
two ; as, learned, blesse I, winged.
F.
71. This letter hns a uniform sound, except
in the preposition of, in which it has the sound
of ».
G.
72. O, like c, has two sounds, one hard, and
the other soft, k is hard before a, o, and «.
The only exception is gaol, which is commonly
tvritten, aa well as pronounced, jaiT.
2*
73. G, before e, i, and y, is sometimes hard
and sometimes soft. It is generally soft before
words derived from the Greek, Latin, and
French, and i)ard before words from the Saxon ;
and these last, being much the smaller number
of the words of this sort, may be regarded aft
exceptions.
74. It is hard before e in gear, geek, geeae.,
geld, gelt, gelding, get, gewgaw, shagged, snagged,
cragged, ragged, scragged, dogged, rugged, dag'

75. The "• in longer, (the comparative of long,)
stronger, younger, longest, strongest, and young
est, must articulate the e; and these words are
pronounced as if written with gg. Thus longer,
the coni|)arative of long, is jtronounced long'gert
and longer, one who longs, long'er.
GH.
76. In this digraph, at the beginning of a word,
the A is silent, as in ghost, ghastly, gherkin; at
the end of words, both letters are commonly
silent, as in high, nigh, sigh, tliigh, neigh, wetgm,
inveigh, sleigh, bough, dough, though, although,
plough, furlough, through, thorough, borough. In
some words this digrajih has the sound off, as in
enough, rough, tough, trough, cough, chough, laugh,
laughter ; in some, the sound of k, as in hough,
shough, lough. In dough and slough it is some-
times silent, and sometimes has the sound of/.
GHT.
77. In this termination, the letters gh are
always silent ; as, fight, right, height, 6lc. ; ex-
cept in draught, which is pronounced, and in
some of its senses usually written, draft
H.
78. This letter is a note of aspiration, and it
is silent at the beginning of a number of words ;
as, heir, heiress, honor, honesty, honorable, hos-
tier, hour, &c. In hospital, humble, humor, hu-
morous, humorsomc, herb, herbage, &c. , according
to some orthoepists, it is silent, and according to
others, it is sounded. It is always silent after r.

79. This letter has the same so nd as c hard ;
and it is always silent before n, a^ in knee, kneel,
know &c.
L.
80. L is silent in many words • as in calf, half,
chalk, talk, balm, calm, ■would, csuld, should, Sec.
M.
81. M always preserves its sound, except in
auompt, accomptant, and comptrjller, pronounced,
end also more commonly wiitten, account, ac-
countant, and controller.
N.
82. JVhas two sounds, one simple and pure,
as in man, not; the other compound and mixed,
as in hang, thank, banquet, anxious ; the tliree
last being pronounced as if written Uiangk,
bang'quet, angk'shn-s.
83. JV is mute when it ends a syllable and
is preceded by I or m, as in kiln, hymn, limn,
column, autumn, solemn, condemn, contemn, &.c.
84. P is silent before s and t at the beginning
of words, as in psalm, psalter, ptisan,
PH.
85. This digraph geiierally has the sound of
/, as in physic, philosophy, &c. In nephew and
Stephen, it has the sound of « ,- and in dipktlwng,
triphthong, naphtha, &c., tiie h is silent.
Q.
86. Q is always followed by u, and the di-
graph qu has commonly the sound of kw, as in
queen, quill, quart ; hut, in many words derived
from the French, it has the sound of A-, as in
coquet, etiquette, nia^sqacrade, &c.
R.
87. The letter r has a jarring or trilling effect
on the tongue, and it is never silent. It has a
peculiar influence on both the kmg and the short
sound of the vowels. It has the effect, under
certain circimistances, to change tlie short sound
of a, as in man, into its Italian sound, as in far,
and the short sound of o, as in not, into its
broad sound, like broad a, as in iior; and it has
a corresponding effect on tlie short sound of the
other vowels. (See pages 10 and 11.) When
r is preceded by a long vowel, it has sometimes
tlie effect of confounding tlie syllables. Thus
the monosyllables hire, more, roar, sore, attrf^lour,
are pr-inminccd precisely like the dissyllables
higher, mower, rower, soicer, VLUdJlotcer.
88. There is a difference of opinion among
orthoepists respecting the letter r. Johnson
says that " it has one constant sound in Eng-
lish ; " and the same view of it is maintained
by Keurick, Sheridan, Perry, Jones, Jameson,
and Knowles. Walker, on the contrary, says,
" There is a distinction in the sound of this
letter scarcely ever noticed by any of our writ-
ers on the subject, "which is, in my opinioD,
of no small importance ; and that is the rough
and the smooth r." The following is the view
given by Smart : " /e is a decided consonant
when it begins a syllable with or without
another consonant, as in i\nj, pray; and also
when it ends a syllable, if it should be so cir
cunistanced that, ending one, it also begins the
next, as in arid, tarry, peril, berry, spirit, floria,
hurry. Here the r has the same effect on the
previous vowel that any other consonant Would
liave ; that is to say, it stops, or renders the
vowel essentially short. But, under other cir-
cumstances, final r is not a decided consonant j
and therefore the syllables ar, cr, ir, or, ur, are
not coincident, as to the vowel sound in each,
with at, et, it, ot, ut ; neither do the vowel
sounds in /are, mere, ire, ore, ure, poor, our, quite
identify with th(>se in fate, mete, ide, ode, cube,
pool, owl.''
S.
89. The regular or genuine sound of s is its
sharp, sibilant, or hissing sound, like c soft, as in
son, this. It has also a flat or soft sound, (called
by some its vocal sound,), the same as that of the
letter i, as in wise, his.
90. S has always its sharp, hissing sound at
the beginning of words, as ion, safe ; also at the
end of words when they terminate in as, except
the words as, has, was, whereas, and the plural
of nouns ending in ea,as seas,plcn.<; in all words
ending in ss, as less, express ; in all words end-
ing in is, except the monosyllables is and his;
in all words ending in us and ous, as genius,
famous; in all words, when preceded, in the.
same syllable, by either of the nmtes, k. p, t, or
by f; as, locks, hats, caps, muffs.
91. S final has the sound of i when it imme-
diately follows any consonant, except the mutes
k,p, t, the seny-vowel/, and th aspirated, as in
ribs, /leads, hens ; also when it forms an addi-
tional syllable with c before it, in the plural of
nouns and the third person singular of verbs, as
in churche^s, boxes, prices; likewise in some verba

close, diffuse, as disting:uished from the nouns
and adjectives, abuse, use, close, diffuse. But it
is impossible to {{ive rules which will enable
one to see, in all cases, how 5 is to be pro-
nounced, whether with its sharp, hissing sound,
or its fiat or soft sound, like :•
92. S a^i-'-ated, or sounding like sh or zh. —
S takes the sound oi sh in words ending in sum,
precedad by a consonant, as in dicerainn, expid-
siori, dimension, passfov, mission, &.c. ; also in the
following words : censure, tensure, toitsure, sen-
STial, fssure, scissitrc, pressure, compressure, ira-
pressure, sure, assure, insure, nauseate, nauseous,
czosseous, suirar, sumach.
£3. S has the sound of zh in the lennination
gion, j)receded by a vowel, as in evasion, cohe-
sion, dcMsion, explosion, contusion, &.C. ; also in a
number of words in which s is preceded by an
accented v<»wel, and followed by the termina-
licn ure, as in measure, pkasure, displeasure,
Vcasure, rasare, closure, disclosure, enclosure, cz-
osure, composure, incisure, leisure ; also in sev-
eral words ending in sier; as, crosier, cosier,
osier, hosier, rosier, brasier, grasier; also in
ambrosia, ambrosial, dysium, elysian.
94. T, like s and e, is aspirated when it
cotnes immediately after the accent, and is fol-
lowed by the vowels iVi, ie, or io, taking the
sound, in these cases, of aA, as in partial, patient,
nation, partition, &.C.
TH.
9.5. This digraph h»s two sounds; on?, hard,
sharp, or aspirate, as in thin tJiiuk, earth, breath,
&.C. ; the other, flat, soft, or vocal, as in tJus, the,
then, breathe, &c.
9G. At the beginning of words, this digraph is
generally sharp, as in thin, Uutrn. The excep-
tions are the following words, with tlieir com-
pounds : tJie, thit, Viat, Uwu, Ihee, thy, thine, tliey,
their, theirs, them, these, Uiose, there, therefore.
then, thence, thither, though, tJius. At the end
of words it is generally sharp, as in death, breathy
&.C. ; but at the end of some verbs it is flat, us,
to smooth, to mouth; also in the following, wkicli
are written with a final e: to bathe, to be^pteatke,
to breathe, to clotJic, to luaiJie, to sheathe, to soothe,
to sKoihe, to irrcaUie.
97. liwome nouns, it is sharp in tiie singular,
as in bath, path, viouUi; and flat in the plural,
as batlts, paUis, mouths. In some words the h
is silent, as in Thomas, thvmc
W.
98. JV, at the beginning of words, is a con
sonant. It is always silent before r; aa,mrite,
wren, wrist, &.C.
WH.
99. This digraph is sounded as it would natu-
rally be if the order of tlie letters were reversed,
thus, hw; as, when, while, whip, pronounced
hwen, hw'de, hwip. In some words tlie w is
silent ; as, who, whole, ice.
X.
100. The regular sound of z is its sharp sound,
like ks ,• as, excellent, execute, expect, tax.
101. ft has a flat or s«ft sound, like gz, when
the next syllable following begins with an ac-
cented vowel, as in exalt, example, exert, execu
tor ; also in some words derived from primitives
which have the sound of gz ; as, exaltation, ex,
emplary.
10-2. At the beginning of words, it has the
sound of z, as in Xenophon, xylography.
103. A' is iLspirated, and takes the souivd of
ksh, in some words, when the accent immedi
ately precedes it ; as, fluxion, complexion, anx-
ious, luxury.
z.
104. This letter has Uie same sound as flal
or soft s. ft is aspirated, taking tlie sound of
zh, in a few words ; as, brazier, glazier, grazier,
vizier, azure, razure, seizure.
ACCENT.
105. All the words in the English language, of
more than one syllable, have one accented sylla-
ble ; and most polysyllabic words have not only
a syllable with a primary accent, but adso one
with a secondary iccent.
106. It is the general tendency of the lan-
guage to place the accent on the first syllabic
of dissyllables, and on the antepenultimate of
polysyllables. The exceptions, however, arc sc
numerous, tliat this is not to be regtirded as d
20
PRINCIPLES OF PRONUNCIATIOIN.
rule, but only as a general tendency of tlie lan-
guage. With respect to verbs of two syllables,
Ihe tendency ia to place the accent on the
Becond syllaljje.
107. A large part of the words of the English
language, especially of the polysyllables, are
derived from the Latin and Greek languages ;
and, with respect to the accent of su(^ words,
these languages have great influence ; though,
in relation to many of them, the analogy of the
English prevails over that of the original lan-
guage.
108. Words which are adopted from the Latin
language into the English without any change
of orthography, generally retain the Latin ac-
cent, especially if they are terms of the arts
and sciences, or words somewhat removed from
common usage. I'he following words have the
accent on the penultimate syllable, both in Latin
and English ; abdovien, acumen, asylum, bitumen,
curator, decorum, delator, dictator, hvi-izon, spec-
tator, testator.
109. Some words, which have the accent on
the penult in Latin, are conformed to the Eng-
lish analogy, and have the accent on the ante-
penult, as, auditor, character, cicatrix, orator,
minister, plethora, senator, sinister.
110. Monosyllables axe generally marked, in
pronouncing dictionaries, with the distinct sound
of the vowels, as they are pronounced when
uttered distinctly ; but, in reading and speak-
ing a great part of them, especially the parti-
cles, as a, an, the, and, at, of, in, on, &c., are
generally uttered so as to give only an indistinct
or obscure sound to the vowels.
111. Simple words of two syllables have only
one syllable accented, excejrt the word amen,
which, Walker says, " is the only word in the
language which has necessarily two consecu-
tive accents." There are, however, many com-
pound words of two syllables, which have both
syllables more or less accented j as, backslide,
downfall, mankind, highway, lighthouse, sometimes,
waylay, windmill, almost, Sec.
112. Many words of three and four syllables
have only one accented syllable ; as, sensible,
penalty, reliance, occurrence, republic, admirable,
agreeable, celebrity, congenial, chalybeate, &c. But
some have a secondary accent almost as strong
as the primary ; as, advertise, artisan, partisan,
complaisant, caravan, coimtermand, reprimand,
contraband, commodore, reprehend, navigator, reg-
ulator, legislator, detrimental, judicature, carica-
ture, animadvert, &c.
113. Almost all words of more than four syl-
lables have both a i)rimary and a secondarj'
accent , and some words of seven or eight syl-
lables have one primary and two secondary
accents ; as, indivisibility, incomprehensibility.
114. The following list of dissyllables, when
used as nouns or adjectives, have the accent ou
the first syllable ; and when used as verbs, oo

117. A similar analogy has influence in
cluinging the accent of many othei" words,
wJiich are used as verbs, and also iua nouns or
adjectives. Thus, counterbalatue and overbal-
ance, when nouns, have t]i«« accent on the first
E3 liable, and when verbs, on the third ; and
attribute, as a nou.b, is accented on the first syl-
lable, and as i. verb, on the second. A class of
words vvitit the termination ate have the dis-
tir.ct sound of long a, when used as verbs, and
tlie indistinct or obscure sound of a, when used
as nouns or adjectives ; of this class are deliber-
ate, Ultimate, mediate, moderate, See. The word
interest, when used as a verb, is pronounced with
u more distinct sound of short e, in the last syl-
lable, than when used as a noun. The verb to
prophesy has the full sound of long y; and the
noun prophecy, the obscure sound of y or e. So
the whole class of verbs ending in fy are pro-
nounced with the distinct sound of long y.
118. All words ending in sion and tion have
the accent on the j)enultimat8 syllable ; as, dis-
sen'sion, declara'ticn, medita'tion, &c.
119. Words ending in*ia, iac, ial, ian, eons,
and ions, have the accent on the preceding syl-
lable ; as, rega'lia, demo'niac, impe'rial, m^rid'ian,
gponta'neous, melo'dious. If c, "•, s, t, or x, pre-
cedes the vowels e or i, in these terminations
these vowels are generally blended with the
vowel or vowels which follow, being pronounced
In one syllable ; as, beneficial, mugi'cian, fari-
na'ceojis, loqua'cious, dissen'sious, coura'geotis,
umta'gions, conten'tious, anxious. The only ex-
ception to this rule, in relation to placing the
accent, is the word cle..^en the manner of. writing and '
tpeaking the language, has been carried some-
what farther in the United States than in Eng-
land, This is a principle which seems worthy
of being encouraged, rather than checked.
133. Much ingenuity and labor have been
cmployeJ by various orthucpists, in their efforts
to settle the pronunciation of the language ; and
different systems of notation for designating the
eounds of the letters have been adopted. I'.ui
it lias been found difficult to form such a system
as will correctly represent all the various sounds
of the letters, and not be liable to mistake ; and,
if such a system were formed, it would be a
difficult and delicate matter to make a correct
application of it to all cases. The language,
us It respects pronunciation, has many irregu-
larities, which cannot be subjected to any gen*
eral rules ; and with regard to tlie pronunciation
of particular words, the instances are numerous
In relation to which there is a disagreement
among the best orthoepists.
131. Ill the preparation of this witrk, Prosun-
ciATioN has been maile a sjKcial ol>ject, and
has received particular attt^ntion. A prominent
feature in the plan consists in the exhibition of
authurities resperliug words of various, doubtful,
or disputed |)roiiiiiiciatiou ; and this work is so
constriicte«l as to exhibit, wiili rtsixjct to all this
class of words, for which a pruiiuiincing diction-
ary is chiefly wanted, the modes in which they
are proiioiiiice«l by all the most eiiiineiit English
orthoepists.
1:35. The fallowing Table exhibits the manner
in which the iiroiiiinciatiou of a number of words
is,re])resented by ir^heridau, Walker, Jameson,
ttud Smart, togcthrr with tin; mode adopted in
this work. These several orthoepists have each
his own jxiculiar system of notation; but as
their different methods of marking the letters
cannot be here exhibited without much incon-
venience, and without causing great confusion
to the reader, their respective modes with regard
to the respelling of the words, are jjresented ; and
instead of their marks on the vowels, those em-
ployed in this work are substituted, indicating,
in all cases, the same sounds of the letters.

136. In relation to all the words here exhib-
ited, these orthoepists agree with respect to two
c-f the most imponant points in the pronuncia-
tion of words, namely, the synai)Ie on which the
accent is to be placed, and the quantity of the
vowel in the accented syllable. 'J'hough with
regard to the mode of representing the pronun-
ciation of most of these words, there is consid-
cr.ible diversity, yet it is doubtless true that
the pronunciation intended to be expressed dif-
ftfi. in reality, much less than it would seem to
do ; and that, in uiiinerous instances, these or-
thoepists agreed much better in their practice^
than in their mode of indicating it.
137. There is an obvious difierence in the
quantity and stress of voice with which the last
syllables of the words deliberate and moderat*
are pronounced, when verbs and when adjeo
tives. All these orthoepists mark the a long in
the last syllable of these words when used as
verbs ; Jameson and Smart also mark it long
when adjectives j Walker shortens the r. in tlw
24
rRL\cjrLi:s or pronunciation.
adjective moderate j Sheridan chanires the a in
both of the words, wlirn adjectives, intu short e.
But there seems to he no advantage in chaMiring
the letter in siicn cases. U is Imt sliglitly pro-
nounced, and iias not the distinct ^kmwX of
eitlier short c, or sht)rt or Ion-; a ; and with
respect to most of the instatices in uliich tlie
vowels in this Dictionary iiave a dot placed
under tliein, they are so sliglitly prtmouiiced,
that to mark them vvitli a distinct sound, eith«;r
long orshort. wouhl lend ratiier to mislead than
to assist in pronouncing thein.
138. Witli respect to words variously pro-
nounced, Wallcer says, " The only metliod of
knowing the extent of custom, in tiiese cases,
seems to be ar» inspection of those dictionaries
whicli professedly treat of pronunciation. We
have now so many works of this ki{id, that the
general current of custom, witli respect to the
sound of words, may be collected from them
with almost as much certainty, as the general
eense of words from Johnson. An exliibition
of the opinions of orthoepists about tlie sound of
words, always appeared to me a very rational
method of determining what is called custom.
This metl>od I have adopted." The method thus
countenanced by Walker has been carried out in
this Dictionary, much more thoroughly than he
had the means of doing it, inasmuch as the
greater part of the works which are made use of,
as the principal authorities, have been published
since his time. With respect to many of these
words, it is difficult to decide what method is to
be preferred ; and it is not to be supposed that
the mode for which the compiler has indicated a
preference will, in all cases, be esteemed the
best ; but even when it is not, the mode which
the reader may deem preferable will be found
included within the brackets, and supported by
its proper authority.
139. Two modes of pronouncing a word are,
in n»any instances, given, besides the forms in-
cluded within the brackets ; and altern.-itives
of this sort would have been presented in other
cases, if different modes had not been cited from
respectable authorities. The compiler has not
intended, in any case, to give his own sanction
to a form which is not su()ported either by usage,
aiithority, or analogy. He has, however, in
Eome instances, in deference to the weight of
authorities, given the preference to a mode,
u/hich, in the exercise of his own judgioent,
iiide[K'ndent of the authorities, he would not
liave preferred ; for it would be unrcasc>n:iblo
for him to make a conformity to his own taste,
or to tiie result of his own limited observation, a
hiw to those who may differ from him, and yet
agree with periiajis the more common usage
Hut, though it has not been his design to mako
innovations, or to encourage provincial or Ameri-
can peculiarities, yet he has not always given the
preference to the mode of pronunciation whicn
is supported by the greatest weiglit of the author-
ities cited ; and, where orthoepists are divided,
he has generally been inclined to countenance
that mode which is most conformable to analogy
or to orthograjiiiy.
140. In giving the authorities for pronuncia-
tion in this Dictionary, neither Ihe respellir^
nor the notation of the ortlioopists cited, lias
been generally exiiibited, as it was necessar^ ty
reduce them all to one system. 'I'heir precise
difference is not always presented with exact
ness ; yet the cases of failure are not importan'
141. The English authorities most frequenfXy
cited in this volume are Sheridan, Walker,
P^rry, Jones, Enfield, Fulton and Knight,
Jameson, Knowles, Smart, and Reid, all of
whom are authors of Pronouncing Dictionaries.
In addition to these, various other English lexi-
cographers and orthoepists are frequently brought
forward, as Bailey, Johnson, Kenrick, Ash, Bar-
clay, Entick, Scott, Nares, and several others ;
besides the distinguished American lexicogra-
pher, Dr. Webster.
142. The different English orthoepists, who
are made use of as authorities, are entitled to
very different degrees of respect. There is nn
one of them who has obtained a higher and more
widely -extended reputation than Walker; and
no one appears to have bestowed longer and
more patient attention in studying the analogies>
of the language, and in ascertaining the besi
usage. But there has been considerable change
since his time ; and some, who have succeeded
liini, have corrected some of his mistakes, and
made improvements on his system ; and they
may, in many cases, be considered better guides
as to the present usage than Walker.
143. Of the successors of Walker, Mr. Smart
appears to have given the most careful and dis-
crimiiiating attention to the g\>bject; and he
may therefore be regarded as the best single
authority for present usage ^
ORTHOGRAPHY.
2S
ORTHOGRAPHY,
L The English language, with respect to its
orthography, has been subject to more or less
change ever since its first formation. The
node of spelling of a considerable number of its
words is still unsettled, and there are some in
regard to which it is ditlicult to determine what
orthography is most to be approved.
2. Two of the most noted diversities, with
regard to English orthography, are found in
Uie two classes of words ending in tc or ick, and
in or or our ; as, mtisic, public, or miisicky publick ;
favor, honor, or favour, honour.
3. With respect to the k in the class of words
referred to, it is now almost universally omitted
by the best authors, both in England and Amer-
ica. It is, however, retained in monosyllables ;
as, stick, brick, lock; and in some dissyllables
ending in ock; as, hillock, hemlock, &c. The
verbs to frolic^ to mimic, to physic, and to traffic,
are written without a final ifc in the present
tense; but, on assuming another syllable, in
forming the past tense and participles, the k
must be used, to keep the c hard ; aa, trafficked,
trafficking.
4. The question respecting the letter «, in
words ending in or or our, — as,/aoor, honor, or
favour, honour, — is attended with much more
difficuUy Most of the words of this class are
originally from the Latin, and are regarded as
coming into the English through the French,
having the termination, in that language, of eur ;
as, faveur, konneur; and this is the reason
as8ii,'ned by Johnson for retaining the «. But
he is far from being consistent in applying the
principle ; for, with respect to the class of words
which have the termination or in Latin, and eur
hi French, he gives many of them with the «,
and many of them without it.
5. The following words are found in John-
eon's Dictionary with the u in the last sylla-
ble:—
ambassadour demeanour fulgour
anteriour disfavour governour
arbour dishonour harbour
ardour dolour honour
armour emperour horrour
behaviour enamour humour
candour endeavour inferiour
clamour errour intercessour
clangour favour interiour
cognisour fervour labour
colour flavour marcour

tenour

Buccessour

6. The following words are found in John.
son's Dictionary without the u in the last sylJa-
ble immediately before r •• —
actor
doctor
lentor
protector

editor
lictor

conductor
fautor

stupor

inquisitor
preceptor
taUor
creditor
inspector
predecessor
torpor
director
languor
professor
tutor
7. The same principle will apply to the orthog-
raphy of the last syllable of most of the words ia
the two lists ; and the inconsistency will bo
obvious by merely comparing the words anteri'
our and interiour, which are written by Johnson
with the u, with posterior and exterior, whicli
are written without iu
8. With regard to retaining or omitting the «
in this class of words, there is a great want of
uniformity in general usage. In the United
States, it is the prevailing, though by no means
the universal practice, to exclude the w from all of
these words. In England, the pi evading prac-
tice is to retain the u in such of the words above
enumerated, as are not derived from the Latin,
viz., armour, behaviour, demeanour, enamour, ct»-
deavour, harbour, mijibehaviour, misdemeanour,
neighbour, parlour, saviour, succour, and tabour,
and also in the following dissyllables, Avhich
are of Latin origin, viz.,ar6oKr, ardour, candour,
cUmour, colour, favour, fervour, flavour, honour,
humour, labour, odour, rancour, rigour, rumour^
splendour, valour, vapour, vigour, and to omit
the M in most, if not all, of the rest. A very few
persons retain the m in the above enumerated
words which are not of Latin origin, and omit it
in all the others. The eye is oflTended at Be»^g
ORTHOGRAPHY.
e word spelled in a manner to which it is un-
accustomed ; and the eyes of most readers
would now be offended at seeing emperoury ivfe-
riour, oratour, possessour, successour, and errour,
written with the u ; and those of many are of-
fended by seeing yatjor, hoiior, and savior, writ-
ten without it. It is difficult to fix the limit for a
partial omission; and the rule which entirely
excludes the « from this class of words, and
which is in accordance with the prevailing usage
in the United States, is the most convenient, if
not the most unexceptionable method.
9. The following rules of ortJiography may be
useful in relation to several classes of words.
10. Verbs of one syllable, ending with a sin-
gle consonant, preceded by a single vowel, (as
plan,) and verbs of two or more syllables, ending
in the same manner, and having the accent on
the last syllable, (as regret,) double the final
consonant of the verb, on assuming an addition-
al syllable ; as, plan, planned ; regret, regretted ; —
but, if a diphthong precedes the last consonant,
(as join,) or the accent is not on the last syllable,
(as suffer,) the consonant is not doubled; as,
ioin, joined; suffer, suffered,
11 There is an exception to the last clause
of the preceding rule, with respect to most of the
verbs ending in the letter /, which, on assunung
an additional syllable, are allowed, by general
usage, to double the I, though the accent is not
on the last syllable ; as, travel, travelling, trav-
elled, traveller ; libel, libelling, lileUed, libeller,
libellous. But the derivatives of parallel are
written without doubling the final Z; as, paral-
leled, unparalleled.
12. The following list comprises the verbs
ending in I, which, though they have not the
accent on the last syllable, yet commonly double
the final 2: —
apparel
dishevel
handsel
model
rival
bevel
drivel
hatchel
panel
rowel
bowel
duel
imperil
parcel
shovel
cancel
embowel
jewel
pencil
shrivel

peril

equal
level
pommel
trammel
chisel
gambol
libel
quarrel
travel
counsel
gravel
marshal
ravel
tunnel
cudgel
grovel
marvel
revel
unravel
13. The derivatives of these verbs are spelled,
In the Dictionaries of Perry and Webster, with
B single I ; and this mode is also more or less
favored by tne lexicographers Ash and Walker,
by Bishop Lowth, and by some other scholars j
and it evidently better accords with the an ik>gy
of the language, though the prevailing usage is
to double the I.
14. The verb to bias commonly doubles the a
on assuming an additional syllable; as, biassing^
biassed, biasser. The verb to kidnap, on assum*
in g another syllable, always doubles ihep; and
the word worship also, according to general
usage, does so ; as, kidnapping, kidnapped, kid'
napper ; worshipping, worshipped, worshipper.
15. There is some diversity in usage, with re*
spect to several other verbs ending in p, and
also with respect to several ending in t, which,
although the accent is not on the last syllable,
are sometimes allowed to double the last conso-
nant, when another syllable is added. But th»
more correct and regular moile is, to write them
without doubling the final consonant ; as, bene-
fit, benefited ; gallop, gallu])ing.

FORMATION OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
FORMATION OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
1. The Saxon or Anglo-Saxon language,
Which is a branch of the Teutonic, is the
parent language of the English. Some of the
other north European languages of the Teu-
tonic family, which have contributed to enrich
the English tongue, are the Danish, Swedish,
Norwegian, Icelandic, German, and Dutch.
The south European languages which have fur-
nished the largest contributions, are the Greek,
Latin, and French ; especially the Latin, through
the medium of the French or Norman French ;
also, the Italian, Spanish, and various other lan-
guages, have afforded more or less.
2. The term Anglo-Saxon is derived from the
Angles, a branch of the Saxons of Lower Ger-
many, who invaded England in the 5th century,
and established their authority in the country.
The Anglo-Saxon dynasty, after having contin-
ued about six hundred years, was terminated in
1066, by the invasion of William Duke of Nor-
mandy, commonly called the Conqueror. The
Norman French now became the language of the
court and upper classes, while the Saxon contin-
ued to be the only speech of the common people
or peasantry. These two languages were grad-
ually blended into one, and became the basis of
the present English. The commencement of
the English language is fixed at about the mid-
dle of the 13th century, what was written in
England after that time having so much resem-
blance to the present language as to be entitled
to be called English.
3. The Anglo-Saxon is the language to which
the English owes its general form and struct-
ure, all the particles on which its syntax de-
pends, all its pronouns and conjunctions, nearly
all its prepositions, most of its monosyllables,
and, indeed, all the words that are most fre-
quently repeated on the same page.
4. The predominance of Anglo-Saxon will
readily be seen by analyzing a passage in any
common English writer. Take, for example, the
common English version of the Lord's Prayer,
which contains 66 words, of which all except
the following five, namely, debt, debtor, deliver,
glory, and temptation, are Anglo-Saxon. In the
first chapter of the common English version of
Bt. John's Gospel, there are 1003 words, of
which, excepting 53 proper names, there are
only 55 words that are not Anglo-Saxon.
5. The following are the principal Anglo-Sax'
on prefixes, nauiely, o, be, em, en, fore, im, mis,
out, over, un, and under ; as, ahead, befriend, em-
body, enable, /t>rcbode, imbosom, misdeed, outdo,
overact, M7ibind, M7tlike, undergo.
6. Some of the common Anglo-Saxon terminal
tions are the following, namely, er, fid, hood^
less, ly, ness, ship ; as, writer, mindful, childhood,
helpless, justly, goodness, partnersAip.
7. The contributions of the Latin languagt
to the English are next, in importance and
amount, to those of the Anglo-Saxon ; and these
contributions came chiefly through the medium
of the French, or Norman French, in conse-
quence of the Norman conquest. It has been
stated by some philologists, that the English lan-^
guage is indebted to the Latin for the larger
part of its vocabulary. This, however, is a greatly
exaggerated statement ; yet the contributions
from that language are great and important, and
they enter extensively into the formation and
etymology of English words. The Latin haa
furnished a large portion of the abstract and
general terms, especially in the departments of
theology, moral and political philosophy, and all
the moral sciences ; also a great part of the
terms used in polite literature, and the language
of polite life. A great part of the military terms
in English come directly from the French.
8. The following are Latin prefixes -. — a, ah,
abs, from ; as, overt, aijure, abstract ; — ad, a, m,
af, ag, al, an, ap, ar, as, at, to ; as, adduce, ascribe,
accede, affix, aggress, allude, annex, a;>pend,
arrange, assign, attach ; — ante, before ; as, an-
tecedent; — circum, about j as, circwmjacent ; —
con, CO, cog, col, com, cor, together, with ; as, con
form, coeval, connate, collect, combine, correct^
— contra, against; as, contradict; — de, down,
from ; as, deface, degrade ; — dis, di, dif, asunder ;
as, disarm, divide, diffuse ; — e, ex, out of; as,
eject, exclude ; — extra, beyond ; as, cztrajudicial ;
— in, ig, it, im, ir, (when prefixed to a verb,)
in, into; as, indue, iilapse, impel, irradiate}
(when prefixed to an adjective,) not ; as, invisi-
ble, ignoble, iflegal, immoral, irregular; — inter,
between ; as, intermix ; — intro, within ; as, intrO'
duce ; — ob, oc, of, op, for, in the way of; as, ob*
ject; occur, o/fend, oppress ; — per, through ; a%
pervade; — post, after; as, postscript ; — j>re, be-
fore; as, precede; — prefer, beyond; as, preter.

— sine, without; as, «necure ; — sub, sue, svf,

9. The following terminations are derived from
the Latin or French .• — able, ible, cle. He, ial, al,
tan, an, ant, ent, fy, lar, ity, or, ous, tion, tive,
tttde, ture,
10. To the Qreek, the English language is
Indebted for most of the terms in physical
vcience, and, indeed, for a great part of the
terms employed in all the arts and sciences.
11. The following are Oreek prefixes : — a, (a,)
without ; as, acephalous ; — ana, (dfd,) tluough,
again ; as, oTiagram ; — anti, (dPTi,) against; as,
oTUichristian ; — apo, (d-To,) from; as, apostate;
— eata, (Kara,) down, from side to side ; as,

m, em, (cv,) in, on; as, .endemic; — epi, {eiri,}
upon ; as, epidemic ; — hyper, {vntp,) above ; as,
Aj/percritic ; — Aypo, (yjrd,) under ; as, A^ocrite
— m^ta, (ncrd,) beyond ; as, metaphysics ; — par-
ra, (rrapu,) by the side of, near ; as, parallel ; —
peri, (nc pi,) about; as, perimeter ; — syn,sy,sylt
sym, ((Tvv,) together, with ; as, synonymous,
syllogism.
12. The following terminations are from the
Qreek: — ic ajid ical, from the Greek j«oj and
Latin icus; as, physicaZ ; — logy, from Xdyoj ; as,
theoZoo^ ,■ — graphy, from ypdipdi ; as, geo^opAy ;
— tie, from t^oj; as, agonize.
FORMATION OF SEVERAL OF THE PARTS OF SPEECH.
13. English nouns are mostly formed by affix-
ing to the radical parts of words the following
terminations, namely, an, ame, ant, ar, ard, art,
ary, eer, ent, er, ier, ist, ive, or, ster, ate, ee, ite,
ary, age, ancy, enee, ency, head, hood, ion, ity,
ism, ment, mony, ness, on, ry, ship, t, th, tude, ty,
ure, y, dom, cule, cle, el, il, et, in, ine, kin, let,
ling, ock, uU.
14. A great part of the adjectives are formed
by a/&xing to tlie rudicai ports of words the fol-
lowing terminations, namely, ae, al, an, ar, ary^
en, ic, ical, id. He, ine, ory, ale,ful, ose, ous, smiM,
y, ish, like, ly, ire, able, ible, uble, less.
15. Many rerfts are formed by affixing to the
radical parts of words the following terminations,
namely, ate, en, fy, ish, ise, iie.
16. A great many adverbs are formed from
adjectives by the addition of ly, or by changing
e to y; as, tots«, lO&elyi nolle, nobly.

In Greek and Latin names, the letter^ has its
Boft sound before the vowels e, i, and y ; but in
most Scripture proper names, it has its hard
Bound before these vowels.
The letters ch, in Greek and Latin names,
and likewise in almost all Hebrew names, are
sounded hard, like k.
Every final i, though unaccented, has its long
open sound, as in Molani. But when t or iia
equivalent y ends an unaccented first syllable
of a word, it has, in some cases, its long sound,
as in Bianor; in some, it takes the indistinct
sound of c, as in Cilicia ; and in some, it is dif-
ficult to determine which of these sounds is to
be preferred, as there is a want of agreement
with respect to them, both among orthoepista
and good speakers.
RULES OF PRONUNCIATION,
27»€ following Rules, which have been taken substantially from Walker j are referred to
by the Figures in the following Vocalmlary.
Rule 1. — The consonants c, s, t, and x, before
ta, te, ii, io, iu, eu, and yo, preceded by the ac-
cent, in Latin and Greek words, as in English,
commonly take the sound of sh, as in the fol-
lowing words: Por'ti-a, (por'she-a,) j9-lex'i-a,
(a-Iek'she-a,) Chj'ti-e, (kllsh'e-e,) Hel-ve'ti-i,
(hel-vg'she-I,) Pho'ci-on, (fo'she-on,) Ac'ci-us,
(Slk'she-us,) Ca-du'ee-us, (ka-du'she-iis,) Si"cy-
en, (sish'e-on.) — When 5, preceded by the ac-
cent, is followed by ia or io, it takes tlie sound
of zh ; as, Mce'si-a, (m5'zhe-a,) Ile'si-od, (hS'zhe-
od,) — According to Walker, the words ./isia,
Sosia, and Theodosia, are the only exceptions.
Rule 2. — In some proper names, t preserves
its irue sound; as, ^tion, Am])hictyon, Jindro-
tion, Eicrydon, Oration, Harpocration, Hijrpotion,
Iphition, Motion, Omytion, Pallantion, Philistion,
Polytion, Sotion, Stration, and a few others ; but
JlepluBstion and Theodotion are Anglicized, the
last syllables being pronounced like the last syl-
lables in question and commotion. In the words
JEsion, LHonysion, and lasion, the * takes the
sound of z, but not of zh.
Rule 3.* — In words ending in eta, eii, eium,
and eius, with the accent on the e, the i following
the accent is to be understood as articulating the
following vowel like y consonant ; as, Eleg-e'ia,
(el-e-j5'ya,) Pompeii, (pom-p5'yi,) Pompeium,
(pom-pe'yum,) Pompe'ius, (pom-pe'yus.) The
same rule also applies to words ending in ia,
preceded by a or o having the accent upon it, aa
^cAa'i'a, (a-ka'ya,) Zato'ia, (la-to'ya,) and like-
wise to words having the accent on a vowel,
followed by ia, though they may not end the
word, as Ple'iades, (ple'ya-dez.)
Rule 4. — The diphthongs 5f

MODERN GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES.
REMARKS.
Ths pronunciation of geographical names is a
rery difficult branch of orthoepy. These names
pertain to all parts of the g.obe ; their vernacular
or native pronunciation is regulated or affected
by every variety of language ; and it would be
impossible to represent, in all cases, the native
pronunciation by any combination of English
letters.
There are a great many names, respecting the
pronunciation of which it is difficult to deter-
mine how far the English analogy should be
allowed to prevail over the analogy of the lan-
guages to which the words respectively belong.
If we look for authorities for the pronunciation
of these names, we find comparatively few ; and
Buch authorities as exist embiace but a small
part of the words of this class ; and there is also
much disagreement among orthoepists with re-
spect to the pronunciation of such of these
names as they undertake to pronounce.
With regard to the geographical names whicll
pertain to all the countries in which the Englisb
language is spoken, including the British empire
in Europe, the United States, and tlie British
provinces generally, their pronunciation is, of
course, conformed, for the most part, to the
analogy of the English language. In addition
to these, all the geographical names which be<
long to other parts of the globe, but which have
become Anglicized by having changed their
native form and assumed an English orthogra-
phy, are also conformed to the general principles
of English pronunciation. The most common
geographical names, such as those which relate to
the great divisions of the globe, the names of the
countries, kingdoms, states, princij>al cities, &c.,
are differently written, aa well as differently
pronounced, in different languages. The fol-
lowing table exhibits a few examples of thia
diversity, by way of illustration: —

There can be no doubt but that geographical
nomoa, which assume such different fon.s in
diffisrcnt loDguages, should be pronounce* dif-
40*
ferenfly by the inhabitants of different countries,
and in accordance with the analogies of thclj
respective languages. All the common gfo
474 PRONUNCIATION OF SEVERAL EUROPEAN LANGUAGES.
graphical names, such as are familiar to all
intelligent persons have become more or less
Anglicized, and tfc sir pronunciation is more or
less conformed to he English analogy. Many
of these words may be considered as perfectly
Anglicized, and are pronounced as common
English words ; but there are many that are
only partially Anglicized, and with regard to
such, it is often difficult to determine how far,
in pronouncing them, the English analogy should
be allowed to prevail over that of the language
to which the words properly belong.
Some foreign geographical names are intro-
duced into the English language without chang-
ing their orthography, but are, nevertheless, in
their pronunciation, conformed to the English
analogy. The word Paris, for example, an
Englishman or an Anglo-American, in speaking
his own language, would pronounce, in confor-
mity to it, Par'is; though, if he were speaking
French, he would pronounce it pdr-e, in confor-
mity with the French language.
With respect to the class of words which are
partially Anglicized, there is a great diversity in
the manner of pronouncing them. Some respect-
able speakers incline to pronounce them, for the
most part, according to the English analogy,
while others aspire to pronounce them as they
are pronounced in the several languages to which
they appertain ; and there are many cases in
which it is difficult to determine which is to be
the more approved, the English or the foreign
method. A person conversant with foreign lan-
guages will be likely to pronounce such words
in the foreign manner; while a mere English
scholar may be naturally expected and permitted
to incline more strongly to the English mode.
It may be often desirable to know what the na-
tive mode of pronouncing such words is,thoogll
it may not be advisable, in common use, to
adopt it.
Proper names are more subject to a corrupt
pronunciation, or one which is not conformed to
the orthography, than common names. A con-
siderable number of the geographical names
pertaining to England are pronounced very dif-
ferently from what their orthography indicates ;
as, for example, Chertsey and Cirencester, pro-
nounced ches'se and sis'e-ter. Americans are
somewhat less inclined to deviate from orthog-
raphy, in the pronunciation of some words,
than the English are. Berwick and Warwick^
for example, which are pronounced in England
ber'ik and wor'ik, are very often pronounced, in
the United States, as they are spelled.
The following vocabulary, which was pre
pared and published some years since, has now
been considerably enlarged and improved, by
further inquiry, and by the examination of
various new authorities, particularly Mr. Bald-
win's Universal Pronouncing Gazetteer, a work
in which the subject of the pronunciation of
geographical names has been attended to with
much care and intelligence. Still this vocabu-
lary, in its present state, is very imperfect. The
pronunciation affixed to many of the words may
be objected to .as not the most proper. A per-
son much versed in foreign languages will be
likely to think that the pronunciation generally
has been too much Anglicized ; while a mere
English scholar will think it is not sufficient!/
so ; and both may, doubtless, make out a plausi
ble case in favor of their respective views. But,
defective as it is, it is hoped that it will not be
found a useless appendage to a pronouncing
dictionary.
PRONUNCIATION OF SEVERAL EUROPEAN LANGUAGES.
The following rules, respecting the pronun-
ciation of certain letters in the principal modem
languages of continental Europe, may be of
Bome use in relation to the pronunciation of
names pertaining to the several countries where
these languages are spoken, though it may be
advisable for a mere English scholar to make
but a partial application of ihem in practice.
VOWELS.
^. — The vowel a, in situations In which the
ftnak)gy of the English language would naturally
give it the sound of long a, has, in the lan^nagefl
of the continent of Europe, what iscallr.! the
Italian sound, that is, the sound of a in fur and
father. In other situations, its sound approaches
nearly to its short English sound, as in man, fat.
E. — In these languages, the sound of the
vowel e, at the end of an accented syllable, is
the same as that of the English long a in fate
name. In other situations, it has the sound of
the English short e, as in tn£t,men.
/. — The long sound of f, In these languages
is the same as in the English word marim
PRONUNCIATION OF SEVERAL EUROPEAN LANGUAGES. 47a
tcing the same as the English long sound of e
n mete, seen. The short sound is the same as
its Engiish short sound, as in pin.
O. — The vowel o has the same sounds that
it has in English in the words note, not, and nor.
U — The vowel u, in most of these languages,
has the same sound that it has in English in the
word rM?g, being the same as oo \x\ fool, moon;
and, when short, it has the sound of u in 6uZZ, oi
of 00 in ^ood. The sound of u in the French Ian.,
guage, and also in the Dutch, has no equivalent
sound in English ; and it can be learned only
by oral instruction. It may be regarded as inter-
mediate between the sound of long c and oo,
partaking of both.
Y. — The vowel i/ has, in most of these lan-
guages, the same sound as i, that is, of long e,
as in me ; but in the Dutcli language, it has the
sound of the English long t, as in pine.
DIPHTHONGS.
j9E or ^. —The sound of the diphthong ce.
In Dutch, is like the English sound of a in far;
in German, the sound of cb or d is like that of
.le English long a, as in fate.
J?/ — The sound of the diphthong at, in
French, is like that of the English long a, as
fate; in Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese,
-fce that of the English long i, as in pine.
AUand KdU. — The diphthong au, and the
Iriphthong eau, in French, have the sound of
the English long o, in note; as, Chaumont,
(sho-mong',) Beauvais, (bo-va'.) In German,
Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese, the diphthong
au has the English sound of ow in now ; as, .^as-
terlitz, («us'ter-lits.) The German diphthongs
'da and eu have a sound like that of the English
diphthong oi in toil; as, JVeustadt (noi'stSt.)
Eland EY. — The diphthongs ei and ey, in
German, have a sound similar to the English
ijound of long i in pine ; as, Lelp'sic.
EU. — The French diphthong eu has a sound
similar to that of the English sound of e in her,
or M in fur.
IE — The diphthong ic, in French, German,
Dutch,
ish, before c and t, the same as the Spanish j ; —
in Italian, before e and i, like that of g in the
English word gem, or j in jet; — in German, at
the beginning of words, it is hard, like g in getf
and in words ending in gen, it is thrown back
on the penultimate syllable; as, Hech'ing-en.
J. — The sound of j, in French and Portu-
guese, is like that of ih in English ; — in Span-
ish, it is like that of h strongly aspirated; — in
the other languages, like that of i/ consonant.
X — The sound of z, in Spanish, is like that
of A strongly aspirated, being 'the same as that
of the Spanish 7, and also of "• before e and x.
Z. — The sound of i, in German and Swedish,
is hke that of ts in English ; — in Italian, like
dz ; zi in Italian, like ts.
CH. — The sound of the digraph ch, in French
and Portuguese, is the same as the English sh,
or of cA in chaise; — in Spanish, the same as ch
in the English word chill; in Italian, (as hi
words from the ancient langunges, Hebrew
Greek, and Latin,) like that of fc. — In Germau
and Dutch, it has a hard, guttural sound, not
easily represented in English, but resembling
that of A strongly aspirated. It is represented in
this vocabulary, as it is in others, by the letter A;
TH. — The digraph th, in these several lan-
guages, has the sound of t ; as, Theis '«.)
