PREFACE. THE first edition of this work, which is mainly an abridgment of the AMERICAX DICTIONARY of Dr. WEBSTER, was published in 1848, under the editorial care of Dr. Webster's son, Mr. WILLIAM G. WEBSTKR, who, nine years later, or in 1857, prepared a very careful revision and improve- ment of the same. The design, as stated by Mr. Webster in the Preface to the latter edition, was " to furnish a vocabulary of the more common words which constitute the body of our language, with many technical terms in the sciences and arts." With the view of bringing it in all important respects into conformity with the revised edition of the American Dictionary published in 18G4, the work has now been reviewed and corrected throughout by the sub- scriber, who has availed himself of the opportunity thus presented to introduce several new features, although he has adhered to the general plan of the previous editions. Of the additions which have been made, the most important are the Principles of Pronunciation and the Rules for Spelling, in the Introduction, and, in the Appendix, the pronouncing vocab- ularies of Greek and Latin Names, of Scripture Names, and of Modern Biographical Names, the pronouncing and explanatory list of Christian Names, the explanatory table of Arbitrary Signs used in Writing and Printing, and the list of Prefixes and Suffixes Distributed throughout the Dictionary are upward of 300 wood-cuts, skillfully engraved, and designed to serve not as mere embellishments of the book, but as verita- ble illustrations of the words under which they are given. The vocab- ulary has been considerably enlarged, and now comprises an aggregate of nearly 27,000 words, all of which are in current or occasional use at the present day. To many of the words are attached numerical references to the principles of pronunciation or the rules of orthography which these words exemplify. Etymologies have now -and then been introduced in the hope of attracting the attention of young students, and of stimulat- ing in them a desire to learn more of the origin, structure, and affini- ties of our language.. In the hands of an accomplished teacher, this volume may be made highly useful in schools, since it furnishes material for a valuable course of exercises on words, including their orthography, pronunciation, definition, composition, syllabication, and the like.

V When one letter of an improper diphthong, or of a triphthong, is marked, it is to be taken as repre- Bentinp; the sound of the combination, and the Tetter or letters which are not marked are to be regarded as silent ; as in dim. clean, ceil, people, rrmte, soul, ioiirnnl, tow, &c. The combined letters ce, ci, sci, se, t, or li, occurrinK before a vowel in a syllable immediately preceded by an accented syllable, are generally equivalent to sA ; as in o'cean, ceta'ceoug, so'rial, loRi'ctan, suspi'ci'on. auspi'ctous, con'sctence, nau'^eous, contmver'st'al, riissen'.tion, ini'tt'al, ora'fion, flcti'fjous, &c. Such syllables are not always resnelled. as, in general, they will naturally be pronounced correctly by an English speaker. But in all exceptional, doubt- ful, or difficult cases, the appropriate respelling is used. ACCENT. The principal accent is denoted by a heavy mark : the secondary, by a lighter mark : as in Su'perintenrt'ent. Jn the division of words" into syllables, these marks, befidea performing their proper office, supply the place of the hyphen, except in some compound and derivative words. PRINCIPLES OF PRONUNCIATION, WITH EXPLANATIONS OF THE KEY. VOWELS. I. TOWELS IN MONOSYLLABLES AND ACCENTED SYLLABLES. A. 1. Regular long f>ound, marked A, a, as in Sle ; beard also in pain, day, gaol, gauge, aye, sented, the initial sound should always be thafc of a in fate (the radical without the vanish ; see 1), though the final impression upon -the ear is that of an open or broad sound, in con- sequence of the " opening power " of the r. Some, however, especially in New England, give to words of this class a slightly different break, veil, whey, &c. j pound ; namely, that of our short a before r, as in NOTE. This sound of a is in most cases ', a > r i pronounced tier, with a somewhat lengthened diphthongal, having a slight " vanish " in e an- j sound of the a. This sound is rather more nexed to its " radical " or initial sound, as in , open than the one mentioned above, and is apt, gert that it is a distinct, though very similar, element, being like the other long vowels as compared with their true corresponding short sounds, of a slightly less open quality. See 9. 2. Regular short sound, marked A, a, as in adit ; heard also in plaid, bade, &c. other in smoothness and grace. S 4. Sound of the Italian a, marked A, ii, as in arm, father, far ; heard also in ah, hearth, aunt, guard, are, &c. NOTE. The Italian a is the most open of all the vowel sounds, and is one of the extremes of the vowel scale, the other extremes being C and NOTE. This is a distinct element from the go. In its formation, the mouth and throat are long a. With respect to its position iu the opened widely, and the tongue is left in its nat- Bcale of sounds, it is a palatal vowel, interme- ural position" of rest. diate between a and ?, the tongue being raised higher than for a, aud not so high as for . OCCASIONAL SOUNDS OF A. 3. Sound of a before r, in such words as air, rare, fare, bear, prayer, parent, marked A, a. According to Smart, this clement is our long 5. Sound of a in certain words (chiefly monosyllables) ending in ff, ft, ss, st, sk, sp, with a few in nee, and >it, marked A, a, as in staff", graft, pass, last, ask, gasp, chdnee, chant, &c. NOTE. This is a shortened or brief form of a in fate, and owes all its peculiarity to the ' the Italian a. A majority of good speakers, subsequent r. Such, also is the statement of i botn > n England and America, give this sound to Dr. Webster and of most English orthoepists. words of the class under consideration. Many The sound of r in these words is what Smart ^^S^S^^^T^^ calls a 'guttural vibration,-' a sound which words witu : ts pho rt, flat sound (see 2), saying he represents by ur, and Dr. Webster by er. , stiff, graft, pass, &c., a practice which is not In care we touch lightly on the a sound (the j to be commended, though it is too general to be radical alone, without the vanish ; see 1), and j condemned as unsupported by good usage, then pass fully and strongly into the guttural ! 6. Sound of broad T, marked A, a, as in vibration (ca'ur or c.Ver), drawing the two all, talk, haul, swarm ; heard also in sfiuce, awe, as closely as possible into the same syllable. georgic,ff>rk, grdat. bdught, &c. Another mode of identifying the sound in NOTE. This sound is formed by a depres- qaestion is that of prolonging our short e be- sion of the larynx, and a consequent retrac- fore r. Thus, ther (with the e as in thfn), tion of the tongue, which enlarges the cavity drawn out into long quantity, gives us there of the mouth posteriorly, (thiir) ; and er (the first syllable in r) gives j 7. Short sound of broad a, marked A, a, as us ere or e'er (ax). Thus, in the view here pre- in what, wander, &e. j heard also in knowledge (Ti) PRINCIPLES OF PRONUNCIATION. VII NOTE. This is the extreme short sound of broad a, and coincides with the sound of o in not. It differ!), however, in quality as well as quantity from broad a, being a more open sound ; that is to say, the aperture of the lips and the internal cavity of the mouth, though of the same shape in both cases, are somewhat larger for the former (a) than for the latter (a), while the position of 'the tongue remains un- altered throughout. There is a sound of a, as heard in fait, al- though, &c., which is intermediate between that in awe and that m what. See It), NOTE. B. | 8. Regular long sound, marked E, , as in Sve, mete, &c. ; heard also in Cassar, beard, feet, leisure, key, machine, field, oesophagus, &c. NOTE. In the formation of this element, the tongue is raised convexly within the dome of the palate, pressing against its sides, and lav- ing only the smallest possible passage through which a vowel sound can be uttered. 9. Regular short sound, marked C, 8, as in ind, mSt ; heard also in many, apfusretis, said, fSati'ier, hiifer, friend, asafaetida, bury, guess. NOTE. This is not a short sound of the long e. It has usually been considered as the shut or extreme short sound of the in file ; but most orthoepists at the present day, while allowing it to be a nearly related sound, regard it as distinct, it being slightly more open than the radical part of a, and lacking the vanish : both are intermediate between a and I, the tongue not being so much depressed as for the former, nor raised so high toward the palate as for the latter. See 1. OCCASIONAL SOUNDS OF E. 10. Sound of e like a (as in care, fair, bear, &c.), marked E, e, as in ere, there, heir, e'er, &c. This is the same sound with that of a in care. See 3. 11. Sound of e like a, marked E, e, as in eh, eight, prey, vein, &c. See 1. 12. Sound of e before r, verging toward the sound of u in urge, marked fi, C, as in er- mine, verge, prefer ; heard also in earnest, mirth, myrtle, &c. NOTE. The vulgar universally, and many cultivated speakers both in England and Amer- ica, give the e in such words the full sound of u in urge, as, murcy for merry, turm for term, &c. But, in the most approved style of pronuncia- tion, the organs are placed in a position inter- mediate between that requisite for sounding ft and that for sounding ?, thus making (as Smart observes) "a compromise between the two.'' In other words, this element is radically distinct from both ft anil i, being less guttural than the former and less palatal than the latter, from which it was doubtless originally evolved. I. 13. Regular long sound, marked I, I, as in Ice; heard also in aisle, height, eying, eye, vie, I guile, buy, thy, rye, &c. ; in pint, in child, mild, \ wild ; and in most monosyllables ending with nd, as bind, find, kind, &c. NOTE. This sound, though represented by a single character, is not a simple element, but a diphthong. It is composed of a and e as ex- tremes, with the a accented, but made so very brief that the ear with difficulty recognizes the precise character of the sound. 14. Regular short sound, marked f, T, as in tit; heard also in English, beaufin, been, sieve, women, busy, guinea, nymph, &c. NOTE. This is not a short sound of long i. Many have considered it as the shut or extreme short sound of long e ; but it is really a distinct, though closely allied, element. In its forma- tion, the tongue is slightly relaxed from the position assumed for producing S; this is the only difference between the two sounds. OCCASIONAL SOUNDS OF I. 15. Sound of t like long e, marked I, i, as in pique, machine, caprice, &c. See 8. NOTE. Most of the English words in which this pound is represented by this letter are from the i'rench. 16. Sound of f before r, verging toward u in urge, marked I, T, as iu ~rksome, i-trgin, &c., identical with that of e in ermine See 12. O. 17. Regular long sound, marked 0, o, as in Lid ; heard also in hautboy, beau, yeoman, sew, ruam, hue, door, shuuider, grow, owe, &c. NOTE. This sound of o is in most cases diphthongal, having a slight '"vanish" in oo annexed to the " radical " orinitial sound, as in below. The radical part of the sound is a simple element, intermediate with respect to the mode of its formation, between a and oo, the tongue being less depressed than for a, and the labial aperture greater than for oo. It is essentially the same element as that described in the next section, but is of a slightly less open quality. 18. I* is exceedingly common, in some parts of the United States, to shorten the long o of certain words, as bolt, most, only, Sec., by dropping the vanishing element which belongs to the vowel, and giving to the radical portion a somewhat more open quality ; but this prac- tice is wholly opposed to English usage. The provincialism here pointed out obtains, more or less widely, in respect to the following words; namely, boa/, bolster, bolt, bone, both, broke, broken, choke, cloak, close, a., coach, coat, coax, colt, colter, comb, dolt, folks, goad, hold, holm, holster, home, homely, hope, jolt, load, molten, most, molt, none, only, open, pole, polka, poul- tice, poultry, revolt, road, rode, rogue, soap, sloth, smoke, sofa, spoke, v., spoken, stone, story, swollen (or swoln), throat, toad, upholsterer, up- holstery, whole, irholly, wholesome, wrote, yoke, yolk, and possibly a few others. Most persons vm PRINCIPLES OF PRONUNCIATION. in New .England sound the o in a part or all of these words without the vanish, while some among the vulgar go further, and give to a number of them almost the sound of short u, as hum for home, &c. They should all, how- ever, have the full sound of the o as heard iu accented syllables, though not in all cases with quite the same prolongation of the sound. 19. Regular short sound, marked (5, 6, as in odd, nut ; heard also in winder, knowledge, &c. See 7. NOTE. This is the shut or extreme short sound of broad a, and coincides with the sound of a in what. There is a medium sound of this letter which is neither so short as in not. nor so long as in naught. This medium sound is usu- ally given to the short o when directly followed by ss, st, and t/i, as in cross, cost, broth.; also, in gone, cough, trough, off, and some other words. OCCASIONAL SOUNDS OF 0. 20. Sound of o like short it, marked 6, 6> as in other, dove, &c. ; heard also in does, gun, Mod, double, &c. See 28. 21. Sound of o like oo long, marked O, p, as in prove, do, move, tomb, &c. See 24. 22. Sound of o like oo short, marked O, o, as in bosom., wotf, woman, &c. See 25. NOTE. This sound coincides with that of u in bull, which is also used for oo short. See 30. 23. Sound of o like a (broad a), marked 6, o, as in 6rder,furm, stork, &c. See 6. OO. _ 24. Regular long or open sound, marked OO, ob, as in moon, food; heard also in rheum., drew, to, canoe, group, rude, rue, recruit, &c. NOTE. This is the closest labial vowel ; that is to say, in forming it the lips are more nearly closed than for any other vowel, the sides being brought into contact with each other so as to leave only a small central aperture for the escape of the voice. w 25. Regular short sound of oo, marked OO, 6"b, as in wool, fdtit ; heard also hi wolf, should, bull, &c. TT. 26. Regular long sound, marked U, u, as in mute, unit, &c. ; heard also in beaiity, feod- al, feud, pew, ewe, lieu, view, cite, suit, yew, you, yule, &c. NOTE. This is a compound sound, formed of the vowel oo, with a slight sound of the con- eonant y or of the vowel 6 or t before it. When the u begins a syllable, or is preceded by any one of the palatal or labial sounds k, g, p, b,f, v, in, the sound of y is clearly perceived, as in the words usage, cube, gules, puny, burin, futile, mule. 27. When the long is preceded, in the same syllable, by any one of the consonants rf, t, I, n, s, and th, it is peculiarly difficult to in- troduce the sound of y; and hence negligent speakers omit it entirely, pronouncing duty, dooty ; tune, toon ; lute, loot ; nuisance, noos- ance j suit, soot; thurible, thoorible, &c. The reason is, that, in forming these consonants, the organs are in a position to pass with perfect ease to the sound of oo, while it is very difficult in doing so to touch the intermediate y ; hence the y in such cases is very apt to be dropped. The practice of good society, however, is to let the y sink into a very brief sound of long e or of short i, both of which have a very close organic relationship to consonant y. Special care must be taken not only to make this sound as brief as possible, but to pronounce it in the same syllable with the oo. It ought to be added that wherever the sound of sh, z/i, or y consonant precedes the , the y is omitted, as in sure, sounded shoor ,- sugar, shoogar ; azure, azh'oor ; yule, yool, &c. 28. Regular short Found, marked fj, u, as hi but ; heard also in does, blood, touch, &c. NOTE. This is not the short sound of long . In its organic formation, it is essentially the same sound as u in urge, but is shorter in quantity, and of a rather more open quality. OCCASIONAL SOUNDS OF U. 29. Sound of u preceded by r in the same syllable, marked U, ij, as in rude, rumor, &c. NOTE. All the English orthoepists agree that the u in this case drops the y or i which is geuerajly an element of its compound sound when preceded, in the same syllable, by any other consonant than r, and becomes simply oo, so^that rue is pronounced rob ; rule, robl ; ruby, rob by, &c. 30. Sound of u like that of short oo (6t>), marked y, u, as in bull, put, push, pull, &c. See 25. 31. Sound of M before r in such words as tirge, burn, fiirl, concur, &c., marked 0, u ; heard also in worm, 'journey, &c. NOTE. This has been termed the nevtrnl vowel, with reference to its want of any strong- ly-marked, distinctive character. The sound dif- fers from that of short u (with which it has often been identified) in length, and in a some- what greater degree of closeness. Y. 32. Regular long sound, marked If, y, as in fly, style, sky, edify, &c. NOTE. This is the same sound as long i. See 13. 33. Regular short sound, marked Y, y, as in cyst, ni/mp/i, lyric, abyss, coinciding with the sound of short ('. See 14. OCCASIONAL SOUND OF Y. 34. Y has only one occasional Bound; PRINCIPLES OF PRONUNCIATION. iz namely, in such words as myrrh, myrtle, in - which it has, like the e and i in similar circum- ! stances (see 12 and 16), very nearly the j sound of u in urge. II. REGULAR OR PROPER DIPHTHONGS. OI or OY. 35. The sound of oi or oy (unmarked), as heard in oil, join, oyster, &c NOTE. The elements of this diphthong are H as in cord (the same as broad a), and i as in fin (short i), with the accent on the former. Oy is always regular in English words, and oi is regular also, except in the following cases ; namely, avoirdupois (av-iw-du-poiz'), connois- seur (kon-i.s-soor'), chamois (shatn'my), choir (kwire), tortoise (tor'lis), tur-quois (sometimes pronounced tur-icez'). ow. 36. The sound of ow (unmarked), as heard in ow!, vowel, flower, &c. NOTE. This diphthong is compounded of the elements a and oo, the former of which is accented, but made extremely brief. In a con- siderable number of words, ow represents the sound of long o ; in the single word knowledge and in its derivatives, it has the sound of short o. These are accordingly distinguished by the proper mark, as blow, know, knowledge, &c. OIL 37. This diphthong has two leading sounds. (1.) That of ow in words derived from the Anglo-Saxon, as in out, hounrJ, &c. (2.) That of oo in words derived from the ; French, as in soup, group, &c. 38. The diphthong nu has also, in a num- ber of words, the sound of long o, as in sZid ; in a few cases, the sound of the broad a, as in i bought (bawt) ; sometimes that of short u, as in couple ; sometimes that of u in vrge , as in ad- jolrn (adjurn); and, in the three words could, would, should, that of oo as in foot. These peculiarities are indicated in this Dictionary by the appropriate mark over the significant or sounded vowel, or by respelling. III. VOWELS IN UNACCENTED SYLLA- BLES. 39. When an unaccented syllable ends in a consonant, its vowel, if single, has, in strict theory, its regular short or shut sound, though uttered somewhat more faintly, or with a less proportionate force, than in an accented sylla- ble ; as in a5-sign', con'dlct, conflict, &c. In many words of this class, however, the vowel is apt to suffer a change or corruption of its distinctive quality, passing over into some sound of easier utterance. Thus the vowel sounds in the unaccented syllables ar, er, ir, or, 1* yr (as in altar, offer, tapir, mirror, zephyr), are coincident with that of the second u in sulphur. As a general rule, a and o, in unaccented syl- lables ending in a consonanl, verge toward, or fall into, the sound of short u, particularly in colloquial discourse, as in bal'tarf, bar'radk, ver'fia/, bed'lam, cap'ston, jal'ap, bi'as, bal'ta*, hav'oc, meth'orf, pis' to/, ven'ow, compel', flag'- on, bish'op, pi'lot, prov'os*. In such words, it would ordinarily be pedantic or affected to give the vowel its regular short sound. The vowel e, in unaccented syllables ending in a consonant, is, in some words, liable to be sounded like short i (as in barrel), and, hi others, like short u (as in silent); but these changes are usually avoided by good speakers. It may here be remarked, that some of the diphthongs are similarly affected by the ab- sence of accent. Thus ai, which, in an ac- cented syllable, is usually sounded like long a, (as hi corn-plain'), sinks into or I in an un- accented syllable, as hi mountain, pronounced moun'ten or moun'tln. So ei, ey, and ie become changed in pronunciation into i (as hi sur'fett, hon'ey, car'fled), and ou, is sounded as u (as in griev'ous). 40. When the unaccented syllable does not end in a consonant, two cases arise ; name- iy,- (1.) The syllable may consist of, or may end in, a vowel, as in the wprds a-bound', rfi-recf, f-venf, wjo-lesf, &c. (2.) The syllable may end in a consonant, with final e mute at the close of words, as in ul'ti-merte, &'nite, rep'tile, &c. The former of these will, for the sake of brevity, be called No. 1, the latter No. 2. These will now be considered under each of the vow- els. A. 41. (No. 1. See 40.) Here the a has properly a brief sound of the Italian a, as hi Cu'ba, a-muse', .4-mer'i-ca ; but, in familiar speech, it is almost always so slighted and ob- scured as to be indistinguishable from the neutral vowel, or w in urge, murmur, &c. In some words, like a-e'ri-al, cAa-ofic, &c., the a has its regular long or name sound, somewhat shortened by the omission of the " vanish." This is due to the influence of the subsequent vowel, which, in fluent utterance, refuses to take the Italian a before it without the inter- vention of one or more consonants. Some speakers in this country give the same brief sound of long a to this letter when it occurs in an initial unaccented syllable followed by a con- sonant in an accented syllable, as in a-bound', fa-tal'i-ty ; but this practice is not sanctioned by the best orthoepists. In the terminations -a-ny and -a-ry, the a has usually the same PRINCIPLES OF PRONUNCIATION. sound as short e unaccented, as in mis'ccl -la-ny, mc/ment-a-ry, &c. 42. (No. 2. See 40.) Here the a has sometimes its long sound, particularly in verbs ending in ate ; as, ded'i-cate, ed'u-cate, &c. In other parts of speech, the sound of the a is more obscure, verging toward short e, as in ul'- ti-mate, night'in-gale, preface, &c. In some instances it is apt to verge toward short i, as in vil'lage. E. 43. (No. 1. See 40.) Here the e has its long sound, slightly obscure or abridged, as in f-vcnt'. c-mo / tion, so-ci't-ty, &c. 44. (No. 2. See 40.) Here, also, the e has usually its long sound a little shortened and slighted, as in ob'so-kte. There is great diversity in the case of this letter. Hence it is difficult to lay down general rules ; and, as Smart remarks, " The inquirer must be sent to the Dictionary to learn, in each particular case, the true pronunciation." 45. (So. 1. See 40.) I, when final in a syllable, has more commonly its short sound, as in pht-los'o-phy, d?-rect', &c. But the j is usually long in the initial syllables i, bi, chi, cli, cri, pri, tri, as in t-de / a, bl-ol'o-gy, crl-te'ri- on, prl-ine'val, &c. 46. (No. 2. See 40.) In these termina- tions, usage is greatly divided. On the whole, the i is more generally short, as in ac-com'plice, in 7 - fi-n?te, fer'tJle, mar'i-tmie, ad-a-man't?ne, posi- tive, &c. ; but there are some important excep- tions, as, cock'a-tnce, ex'Zle, gen'tzle, con'cublne, ar'chlve, &c. ; also, all names of minerals end- ing in lite or ite ; as curys'o-llte, ste'a-tzte, &c. O. 47. (No. 1. See 40.) Here the o has usually its long sound slightly abbreviated, and without its " vanish :) (see 19), as in o-pin'- ion, croc'o-dile, to-bac'co, &c. See 107. 48. (No. 2. See. 40.) The o in these terminations has usually its regular long sound, as in tel'e-scope, epTde, &c. Sometimes it has the sound of short o, as in di'a-1'gue: in other cases, it verges toward short i', as in pur'pose. u. 49. (No. 1. See 40. ) Here the u gen- .orally lias its long sound slightly abridged, as in ac'cK-rate, e-mol'w-ment, mau--mit', an'nu- al, dep'if-tize, H-til'i-ty. But when the u is pre- ceded by rf, (, or s. these combinations, rf, tit, and xii, are by the great majority of speakers changed into joo, choo, and shoo or zAoo, respectively, as in ed'w-cate (ej'oo-kafe), ha-bit'i/-al (ha-b r ch'- oo-al), sen's-ous (stin'shoo-us), vis'-al (vlzh'- oo-al). (See 63, 74, 89, 90, 92, and 104.) Im the notation of words of this class in the Dic- tionary, the regular pronunciation is gi'iienilly given instead of the irregular, in conformity with the views of Dr. Webster. When the u is preceded by r, it simply drops the y sound, and | is pronounced oo, as in er-u-di'tion (er-oo-dish'- un). (See 29.) 5O. (No. 2. See 40.) The u in these terminations should generally retain its regular long sound (see 26, 27) slightly abridged, as in grat'i-tude, in'sti-ttHo, rid'i-cwlo, tribute, &c. There are a few exceptions, as uiin'nte (min'it), ., and let'tce (let'tis). If the letter r precedes the v, the initial element of the j vowel is dropped, as ince'rMse (se'roos), per'uke j (per'ook), &c. Ste 29. The terminations tlure, ture, and sure , though sometimes pronounced with the regular sounds of the letters, are more commonly pronounced joor, choor, and slwor or z/ioor, respectively, as in the words tcm'per-tt-twre (tem'per-a-choor), ver'dre (ver'joor), cy'no-siire (si'no-shoor), ex- pc/sifre (eks-po/zhoor). (See 63, 74. 89, 90, 104.) When these terminations are immedi- ately preceded by an accented syllable, many speakers change them still further into cliitr, jur, and s/uir, or ziuir, as in na/tiire (ua'chur), ver'd^re (ver'jur), cen'sKre (scn'shnr), ex-po 7 - s;*re (eks-po'zhur). The Dictionary follows the practice of Dr. Webster in giving to i/nre and ; lure the regular sounds of rf, /, and u (pro- j nouncing verdure, vCrd'yoor, creature, kreet'- yoor, &c.) Y. 51. (No. 1. See 40.) Here y has usu ally its short sound, as in hy-poc'ri-sy, m^-thol'- o-g#, vau'i-ty, mer'ri \y, proph'e-c;/, &c. ; but verbs ending in fy have the y long, as in jus'ti-ty, inag'ni-i'y, &c. ; also the three verbs, oc'cu-py, mul'ti-ply, proph'e-sy. 52. (No. 2. See 40.) The y in these terminations (which are few in number) is i generally long, as in an'o-dj/ne, per'i-sti/le, ue'- o-phytc, pros e-l^te, &c. IV. SILENT VOWELS. ^ 53. Vowels which are printed in Italics are not to be sounded ; as the r in u.vd, burden, the i in cous/n, &c. Some of these cases re- quire a more particular consideration. E fmnl. 54. The letter e is always mute when final, except in monosyllables containing no other vowel, in classical words, and in some words from modern foreign languages : but in a monosyllable or in an accented syllable of a word, though silent, it generally serves the purpose of indicating that a preceding single vowel followed by a single consonant, a conso- PRINCIPLES OF PRONUNCIATION. nant digraph, or the combined letters st or ng, has its regular long sound, as in plane, hope, cube, inscribe, paste, change. When a silent e follows c or g at the end of a word, it serves also to show that the consonant is to have its soft, and not its h.ird, sound, as in. ace, nice, age, huge, oblige. In a number of monosylla- bles (as bade, come, give, w~re, done, &c.) and in the accented syllables of a few words de rived from them (as forbade', become', forgive'), the e does not have its usual effect of lengthen- ing the sound of the preceding vowel. In un- accented syllables, it sometimes keeps the vowel i:i its long sound, as in gen'tlle, su'plne, finite, ar' 'chive ; but in a great many instances it ex- ercises no such influence, as in jus'ttce, hot'tile, mar i-t~ime, doc'trlne, an'tse, gran'tte, plain' lice. EN with E silent. 55. Most words ending in en. drop the e in pronunciation, as, often (oi'nj, heaven (heav'n), even (ev'n), &c. The following are nearly all the words in which the e should be sounded : aspere, chicken, hyphen, kitchen, jerken, latten, lichen, marten, mynchew, paten, patten, platen, rowen, wicke/z , and y ewe . The e is also sounded when "preceded by the liquids I, m, n, r, as in woo,'e, omen, linen, siren, &c., though fallen, stole/;, and swollen omit the e in pronunciation. 'With regard to Eden, bounr'en, heathen, mitten, sudden, and sloven, there is a diversity of usage among good speakers, some suppressing, and some sounding, the e. ON with O silent. 56. Many words^ending in on preceded by c, c.t, s, and t, omit the o in pronunciation, as in reckon (reck'u), bacon (bak'n), treason (treas'n), mutton (mutt'n), &c. , ED with E silent. 57. The termination erl is usually short- ened in pronunciation by dropping the sound of the e (as in loved (lov'd), aimed (amrd), dif- fused (diffus'd), &c.), unless this letter is pre- ceded by d or t (as in amended, contented, &c.), when its omission is organically impossible. But in adverbs formed by adding ly, and in nouns formed by adding nrss to words ending in ed, the e of this termination is uniformly sounded, as in assuredly, confusedly, reneu-edli/. amazedniss, compnsedness, &c. There are also some participial adjectives, and some adjectives not derived from verbs, in which the e is com- monly sounded ; as, aged, beloved, blessed, crab- bed, cragged, cranked, crutched, cursed, cusped, deuced, dogged, /tanked, jagged, learned, legged, naked, peaked, picked (sharp), ragged, rugged, stubbed, wicked, winged, wretched. The e is also pronounced in the derivatives formed from such adjectives, as, learnedly, blessedness ; but is generally omitted in the compounds, as, full- aged (r k to that of the a or I, with- out suffering any other sound to slip in between them. 70. G marked thus, (, (g soft), has the compound sound of j, as in gem, rage, engine, cagtd, &c. See 74. NOTE. The letter g generally takes this sound when it comes before e, i, or y ; but there are some exceptions. (See the preceding sec- tion.) 71. I n a f ew ^ords from the French, g re- tains the Found of zh, which it has before c and i in that language, as in rouge (roozh), mirage (ml-nizh'), &c. G is silent before m and n final, and also when initial before n, as yi phlegm, sign, gnat. For the o.Tice which g performs in such words as longer, stronger, &c., see 79. GH. 72. This digraph (which is unmarked) is sounded, at the beginning of a word, like g hard, as in ghastly, ghost, g/ierkin, &c. It is silent after the vowel i, as in high, sigh, wri.'h ; and it is generally silent before /, as in bough', fraught, taught, &c. The words draught and laughter, where it has the sound of/, are ex- ceptions. In other cases, g h is generally pro- nounced like /, as in chough, cough, rough, tough, trough, enough, &c. ; but it sometimes has the sound of k, as in hough, lough, shough. In the word hiccough, it is usually pronounced like p. H. 73. This letter (which is unmarked) is a mere aspiration or breathing, and represents no fixed configuration of the vocal organs. NOTE. It is an emission of unvocalized breath through whatever position of the mouth- organs is required by the succeeding element, the organs being always placed to form the next PRINCIPLES OF PRONUNCIATION. Xlll following letter before the h is pronounced, j Thus, iu he the tongue is put in a position to sound the e before the k is uttered ; and simi- larly in hall, hard, koine, &c. In the following words, heir, heiress, herb, herbage, honest, honor, honorable, hour, with their derivatives, and also in hostler (also spelt ostler), h is silent. It is also marked as silent by most orthoiipists in hospital, humor, and humble, with their derivatives. There is, how- ever, an increasing tendency to sound the h in these words. If is silent after g initial, as in ghost, gherkin, &c. ; after r, as in rhyme, myrrh, &c. ; and also when preceded by a vowel in the same syllable, as in ah, eh, oh, buhl, Je- hovah, &c. In many parts of England, the sound of this letter is almost always omitted where it ought to be uttered, and uttered where ft ouzht to be omitted ; as 'oiwe for house, hop- ple for apple, &c. This very gross and vulgar error is rarely, if ever, heard among natives of the United States. 74. This letter (which is unmarked) has very nearly the sound of clz/i, being precisely the same as that of g soft, as in jar, jeer, joke, &c. See 70. NOTE. .7 is never silent. In the word hal- lelujah, it has the sound of consonant y. In words in which d precedes a letter having regularly the sound of y, and occurring in an unaccented syllable, as in modulate (mod'u- late), soldier (sold'j^r). the sound of j is very often substituted for the combined sounds of the d and y (thus, moj'oo-late, sol'jer); jost as the sound of ch is substituted for the combined sounds of t and yin nature, question, righteous, &c. (See 63, NOTE.) K. 75. This letter (which is unmarked) has one uniform sound, as heard in keep, king, kitchen, &c.. and is precisely equivalent to c hard. See 61. NOTE. The sound represented by this let- ter differs from that of g in go (hard g) only in being a whispered and not a vocal utterance ; the organs are placed in the same position for forming both sounds. Before n, in the same syllable, k is silent, as in knack, knell, knit, know, &c. It is also silent after c, as in back, barrack, &c.

M. | 77. The sound of m (unmarked), as heard hi make, aim, clamor, armed, &c. NOTE. This letter has one uniform sound, produced by closing the lips, and letting the voice issue through the nose. It is silent when it precedes n in the same syllable, as iu mnemo- nics. N. 78. The sound of n (unmarked), as heard in nail, ten, panel, entry, &c. NOTE. In the production of this sound, the tip of the tongue is pressed against the up- per gums, as for d ; but the voice, instead of being confined within the mouth, is suffered to escape uninterruptedly through the nose, the nasal passages being uncovered for that pur- pose. When final after I or m, n is uniformly silent, as in kiln, condemn, solemn, hymn, limn, &c. ; but it is generally sounded in the derivatives formed from such words by adding to them a termination beginning with a vowel, as in con- demnatory, solemnize, hyinrtic, limner, &c. In the present participles of verbs ending in mn, as contemn, hymn, &c., the n, though often un- pronounceii,'is more properly sounded, as, con- temning, hymning, &c. 79 . The sound of n as heard in linger, link, uncle, &c. (marked N, jj). NOTE. This is essentially the game sound as that represented by ng ; but its length varies greatly according as it is followed by a whispered or a vocal consonant. When it is followed iu the game syllable by the sound of k, as in link, it is cut so short by the instantaneous and per- fect closure of the organs which form this pure mute as to add almost nothing to the length of the syllable. .But when this sound of n is fol- lowed by that of g- in a separate syllable, as in the primitive words anger, finger, conger, hunger, it is long and sonorous, and increases the duration of the syllabic utterance very per- ceptibly. As a general rule, the change of n into n takes place only beforehand k (or before the equivalents of k, namely, c, q, and x=ks). It takes place before k or its equivalents when any one of these letters follows n in the same sylla- ble, as in lint, cinque, minx, bethink', adum/ue', phar'ynz; and before g or k, or an equivalent of k, when any one of these letters begins au unaccented syllable and the n ends a preceding accented one, as in con'rord, con'gress, un'cle, &c. Pera'guin and a few other words are ex- ceptions ; also words beginning with the pre- fixes in, non, quimrue, and un ; as, in'come, non'- con-form'ity, qu/n'^uevalve, un'com-pound'ed, &c. It is to be observed that, if the n ends an unaccented syllable, and the g or k begins an accented one, the n invariably retains its reg- ular sound ; as in con-cord'ant, con-gres'sional. It is also to be observed that there is a small class of words in which the n has its ordinary sound, as in nail, and the g its soft sound, as in gem. Of this class, the words, danger, stran- ger, ginger, and plunger are examples.

S unmarked has its regular sharp or hissing sound, as in same, yes, resting, &c. NOTE. This sound is an utterance of un- vocal breath forced between the tip of the tongue and the upper gum, the tongue being placed in the proper position for sounding land d. S always has this sound at the beginning, and frequently in the middle and at the end, of words. See 105. 88. S, when marked thus, S, s, has the buzzing sound of z in zeal, as in ha.%, amus_e, rosy, &c. See 105. NOTE. There are a few verbs ending in se, which are also used as nouns or adjectives. To distinguish between them, the a is vocalized in the verb, and whispered in the noun or adjective ; as close, a., and close, v. : house, n., and houses, v. ; wse,n.,andwse,v. ; diffuse, a,., and diffuse,?. 89. When the letter s, having regularly its sharp or hissing sound, fallows a liquid or another s, and precedes a letter having the sound of consonant y, as i ia reversion, mansion, passion, and, in a few cases, when it precedes (= yoo), as in s:ire, sugar, censure, sensual, the sounds represented by these letters are ex- changed for that of the simple but very similar element represented by s'l. Thus the examples just given are actually pronounced re-cer'shtin, man'shun, pash'un, skoor, shoog'ar, cen'shoor, srn'shoo-a', though the theoretical pronuncia- tion would be re-vers'ytin, mans'yun, pdss'yun, s-yoor, s-yoog'ar, cens'yoor, sens'yoo-al. In a few words, 5 alone takes the sound of a/i, as in nausea, Asiatic; or rather the e or i, in such cases, does double duty, uniting with the 5 to signify the sound of sh, and at the same time retaining its usual vowel character. 90. When s is preceded by a vowel in an accented syllable, and is followed by a vowel hiving regularly or theoretically the sound of consonant y, these two letters are commonly pronounced like z/t, as in a Hiesion, revision, ex- p'osinn, confusion, pleasure, visual, usury, &c. (See 104.) So also ia s-ission, abscission, re- scission, though the s is not preceded by a Towel in the accented syllable. 01. S is silent in the words aisle, isle, island, demesne, puisne, viscount, and generally at the end of French words adopted into Eng- lish, as chamois, corps, vis-a-vis, &c. Sh. 92. This digraph (which is unmarked) rep- resents the simple sound heard in s'ulf, fle.sk, usher, &c. NOTE. This element is formed by a partial contact of the upper surface of the tongue, near the tip, with that side of the arch or dome of the palate which is just above the gums of the front teeth, and by an effusion of unvocal breath through the narrow aperture left for its escape. Tliis sound has been evolved from the combination of those of s and consonant y which , in rapid utterance, do not easily nuiiutain their distinct character. Thus, if we pronounce the word special in three syllables, spef'i-al, and then try to reduce it to two, we shall find that it is difficult to articulate thec (=a) and the i ' (=y) by one continuous effort of tho organs, and that the intermediate sk is naturally substituted as an easier and a closely allied sound.

T is silent in the terminations ten and tie after s, as in fasten, listen, often, castle, gritlli , throstle, &c. It is also silent in the words chestnut, Christmas, hostler, or ostler, mistletoe, and mortgage. 94. When t precedes any one of the diph- thongs ia, ie, and io, and at the same time fol- lows an accented syllable not ending in a or x, it assumes, in some words, the sound of sh, as in negotiation ; but, in most cases, the com- pound sound resulting from the coalescence of t and t is exchanged for that of sh, as in patient, s'atinn, partial, &c. When a or x precedes the t, this letter and the i following it either pre- serve their own sounds pure, or exchange them for the sound of ch in chin, as in question (kwest'yun or kwes'chun), mixtion (mikst/yun or miks-'chun), &c.

This is a simple elementary sound, and is not (as might be supposed) a compound sound made up of the found of n in conjunction with that of g. In forming ng, the tongue is j placed in the same position as for forming g ; the nostrils, however, are not completely closed, | but yet so much so as to produce a marked res- | onance (somewhat similar to the sound of n), which may be continued to any length, as in sing, bring, &c.

P has but one sound ; it is silent when initial before n, s, and t, as in pneumatics, psalm, pskaw, ptarmigan. It is al.*o silent or very in- distinct when it occurs between m and t in the same syllable, as in tempt, exempt, &c. ; but when preceded by in in the game syllable, and followed by t or by k in the next syllable, it is more properly sounded ; as in trmp-ta'tion, ex- emption, redemp'titm, con -sump' five, sump'- tuous, bump'kin, pump'kin, &c., though, in colloquial utterance, it is very often suppressed in words of this class. It is also mute in the fol- lowing words, and in their derivatives ; namely, raspberry, receipt, sempstress, accompt, and corps. PH. 82. This digraph (which is unmarked) oc- curs chiefly in words of Greek derivation, and has usually the sound off, as in phantom, sylph, philosophy, &c. In Step/it n it has the sound of v , and, according to most orthoepists, it has the same sound in nrphew (nev'ew). Before th initial, ji.'i is silent, as in pAthisis ; It is also silent in apoyHlie^m. In dip/it/tong, triphthong, opkthalmy, nupk'ha, and other allied words, together with their derivatives, tiiep/iij often sounded as p, or the h may be regarded as silent. Q S3. Q is followed in all cases by ?'. and these t.vo letters, taken together, have usually the pound of fcir, as in queen (kween), cnn'{iifs'. (konk'wc.st), &c. In a few words derived from the French, qit is sounded like k, as in rn';wttr. quat/riltt, &c. It has the same sound in the common termination que, as in antique, oblique, burlesque, &c. R. 84. This letter (which is unmarked) may be viewed under three aspects : (1.) K as hi rip, trip, carol, &c. (sometimes called rough., trilled, dental, or initia' r). In forming this pound, the tongue assumes nearly the same position as for d : but the voice, instead of being confined within the mouth, is suffered to flow f.jely over the tip of the tongue, producing a very slightly trilled and peculiarly liquid sound which is heard in the two follow- ing cases : 1. When r is not preceded by a vowel, as in ream, dream, prompt, spring ; 2. U'hen it stands between two vowels of which the first is short, as in baron, merit, spirit, florid. Often the r is doubled in the written word, as in barren, merry, torrid ; but, in these cases, only one r is heard in the pronunciation , providing the preceding vowel is short. Sec 109. (2.) li as in Jar, form, terse, surge, &c. (some- times called smooth., palatal, guttural, obscure, or final r). By most orthoepista at the present day, the letter r, when it occurs before any consonant, or when final, is regarded as a distinct element from the last, and as formed by a slight vibra- tion of the back part, or root, of the tongue against the extremity of the soft palate. Many writers, however, do not admit any such dis- tinction in the sound of r. maintaining that the value of the letter (apart from the obscure vowel element described in No. 3) is uniform in all situations.

I vowel sound resembling that of u in trrg*, and I a smooth or palatal r, so that the above words ' are pronounced f'.ur (see 4). nn"ur, iur, &c. 85. In tne pronunciation of accurate 1 speakers, r is never silent ; but when it occurs. after a long vowel or a diphthong in the fame syllable, as in here, fur, murmur, our. mirt. &c., it is commonly and entirely suppress cd. both in ; the United States and the south of England. 86 I n English usage, when the letter r is preceded in an accented syllable by a long vowel or a diphthong, and is followed by a vowel in the next syllable, it uniformly represents both the palatal, or smooth, and the dental, or trilled, j sound of this letter, as in luro, -iris, glory, lurid, pronounced hf-r'ro, ir'ris. pL r TV. ITrrid. In the United States, this double power of the let- ter r is chiefly, though not jiivaiiiibly. restricted to the derivatives of words ending in r or re preceded by a long vowel or a diphthong, as in poorer (poor'rer), from poor ; boring (borring), from lore : airy (ar'ry ), from air ; peerage (peeiy- rage) from peer; wiry (wlrry ), from wire ; vrnr- iiyring), from secure ; but, on the other hand, we say hr'ro, i'ris, gln'ry, lu'rid, &c., be- cause these words are not derived from any other words ia the lanpruage. It is to be observed that those orthoepiste who maintain that r has one invariable Found, assert that the only peculiarity in the English pronunciation of such words as brrn, iris. &c..

The combination zli is used in works on pro- nunciation to indicate the sound here described, on account of the relationship of this sound to that commonly expressed by the digraph sh. But the two letters z/i never come together in the proper orthography of any English word. The sound for which they stand is represented by zi (when the z occurs in, or is immediately pre- ceded by, an accented syllable, and the i is fol- lowed by another vowel, and occurs in an unac- cented syllable, as in glazier) ; by the zy im- plied in zu (= zyoo), as in azure ; by s in sym- posium, &c. ; by si in certain situations (see 90); by ti in the single word transition, as sometimes pronounced; and by g in one or two words adopted from Uie French, as rouge. ASSIMILATION OF CONSONANTS. 105. When a whispered and a yocal con- sonant come together in the same syllable, it is generally very difficult, in fluent pronunciation, to preserve each in its regular and appropriate Bound. Hence it frequently becomes necessary to change the character of the one or of the other, in order to make the combination readily pronounceable. This -is generally done, in Eng- lish, by assimilating the sound of the second co'hsonant, whether whispered or vocal, to that of the first. Thus, in chintz, the vocal conso- nant z assumes the sound of its whispered cor- respondent .s, in order to unite with the whis- pered t. On the other hand, the s in ivlnds is vocalized, or assumes the sound of z, for the sake of corresponding with the vocal d. Some- times, though rarely, the sound of the first consonant is assimilated to that of the second, as in fpasm (spazm). This affinity between these two classes of consonants is an important fact, and one which needs to be familiarly known. For there are four very common inflectional terminations which invariably come under its infiuenfip, namely : 1. Possessive forms in s, as maid's (maidz) ; 2. Plurals in s, as tubs (tubz), groves (grjvz) ; 3. S in the third person singular of verbs, as loads (loadz), smooths (smooths) ; 4. Preterits and participles in d preceded by e mute, as in dashed (dasht), ingulfed (ingulft). DUPLICATION OF CONSONANTS. 106. In. many words, a consonant is doubled between two vowels ; yet, in such cases, no more than one articulation is ever used in speaking. In banner, for example, we close the organs but once between the first and second syllables ; nor is it possible to use both of the letters n without pronouncing ban, then intermitting the voice entirely, opening the organs, and closing thum a second time. Hence, in all cases, when the same consonant is writ- ten twice between vowels, as in banner, robbing, \ &c., one of them only is represented by an ar- I ticulation of the organs ; and the only reason for repeating the consonant is to indicate the fact that the preceding vowel has its short sound. But although only one articulation is ever used, or in fluent speech possibly can be used, where a consonant is written twice, yet in some words the articulation is dwelt upon for an ap- preciable space of time, producing an apparent duplication of the sound. This effect takes place in many derived words in which the prim- itive ends or begins with the same letter as that with which a superadded suffix or prefix of English origin respectively begins or ends, as in soulless, foully, keenness, misstep, outtravel, unnatural. The same effect takes place in most compound words, in which the second part begins with the same sound as that with which the first part ends, as in post-town, head-dress, htdf-JUled, See 121. ACCENT. 107. Accent is a particular stress or effort of voice upon certain syllables of word?, which distinguishes them from the others by a greater distinctness and loudness of pronunciation. Accent is of two kinds, primary, as in in-tend', where the full force of the voice is on the last syllable, and secondary, as in su'per-in-tend', where the first syllable is distinguished by a stress greater than that laid on the second and third syllables, though less than that laid on the last. In some words there are two second- ary or subordinate accents, as in in-com'pre- hen'si-bil'i-ty. NOTE. (1.) The general tendency of accent, whether primary or secondary, is to shorten all vowels but w, when further back than the pen- ultimate syllable, as in ten'emeiit, nef'essari- ness, an'atom'ical, person'ijica'tion, &c. ; but we say lu'bricate,nntinotlub'ricate ; tru'culency, and not truc'ulency; su'perabitn'dant, and not sup' erabun' d ant , &c. This tendency generally fails, if the accented syllable is followed by two unaccented vowels, as in pe'ri-od, ma'ni-ac, ; or by two vowels of which the former only is un- accented, as in rle'vi-a'tion, o'ri-en'tal. (2.) The primary and secondary accents are, in certain cases, so nearly equal that we inter- change them freely, " making," as Walker re- murks, " the secondary principal and the prin- cipal secondary." Examples are ambuscade, cavalcade, caricature, etiquette, reverie, confi- dante, governante, invalid, n., parachute, &c. (3.) Many in America give a marked second- ary accent in certain words which properly have but one accent, and that on a pre-antepenulti- mate syllable, as in ter'ri-to'ry, dif'fi-cSl'ty, cii-'cum-stan'ces, in'ter-Sst'ing, &c. This dron- ing fault may be c orrected by giving the accented syllable a sharp percussion, which carries the voice lightly through the rest of the word. PRINCIPLES OF PRONUNCIATION. DIVIDED USAGE. 108. In quite a large number of words, there is a diversity of practice among good speakers as to the place of the primary accent. This arises mainly from a conflict between cer- tain great principles which affect the seat of the accent. A few of these will now be mentioned, with a view to account for this diversity. 109. FIRST PRINCIPLE. Derivatives take for a time, if not permanently, the accent of the original words from which they are formed, as resolve 1 , from resol'vo, aspect' (Shakespeare, Milton), from aspectus, Hinrlosian'ee, from Hin- dustan' , &c. So also words derived from other English words by adding one or more syllables to their beginning or end ; as, ivit/iin' from in, improp'er from prop'er, po'cttss frompo'et,sfr'- viceable from Sfr'vice, re-ad j ust'ment from ad- just', &c. 110. SECOND PRINCIPLE. Ease of utter- ance has some influence i.i deciding the place of the accent. Ac'ceptaVe, receptacle, and u'tensil, fashionable in the days of Walker, have now taken tlie easier accentuation of accept'- able, recept'ade, and uten'sil. Dyspep'sy has taken the place of dys'pepsy in the marking of Webster, Smart, Cull, AVright, Clarke, Cooley, &c., and is now the prevailing accentuation. Ou the same ground, ances'trat is preferred to an'cestral by Jameson, Webster, Boag, Clarke, and Cull, in conformity with campes'tral, and other similar words. These may serve as in- stances of the application of this principle. DISSYLLABLES. 111. THIRD PRINCIPLE. In words of two syllables, there is a tendency (though with nu- merous exceptions) to accent the former or penultimate syllable, as in a'gue, bar'on, com'- mon, dii'cord, &c. NOTE. (1.) This tendency meets with a powerful counteraction in Principle No. 1, namely, that of derivatives retaining the accent of their primitives, as in amuse', deter', offend', &c. It is natural, in such formatives, to place the accent on the radical part of the word ; and hence some hundreds of our dissyllables, es- pecially verbs and adverbs, have their accent on the last syllable. (2.) Still, there is a constant struggle (espe- cially among the common people, who are un- acquainted with the derivation of words) to draw- back the accent to the first syllable. Here arises another conflict, which produces a diver- sity of accent : and the common people, being a majority, are, on the whole, slowly gaining upon those who are tenacious of Principle No. 1. Thus, con' note and in'iiate (instead of con- nate' and innate') are generally prevalent in America, and are now sanctioned by recent English orthoepists. Re 1 tail (for retail 1 ) is now the marking of a majority of the orthoepists. De'lail (for detail') is less prevalent, but is sanctioned by Smart, Clarke, Cull, Cooley, &c. Pro'lix and pre 1 text (for prolix' and pretext') are widely prevalent (especially the former), aud are authorized by some recent lexicographers. Bom' bast (for bombast') is the accentuation of Walker, Barclay, Richardson, Cull, and Web- ster; it is admitted by Worcester, and is ex- tensivriy used in the United States. Eu'reau (for bureau 1 ) was admitted by Dr. Webster, and is very generally applied to the article of furni- ture, while bureau' is sometimes uj-ed in refer- ence to a department of tlie government. J 112. We have about eighty cases among our dissyllables in which the same word is used for a verb on the one hand, and a noun or an adjective on the other. To distinguish between them, we accent the nouns aud the .adjectives on the first syllable, and ttie verbs on the last, as, a con'vtrl, to conrerl' ; a con'tract, to con- tract', &c. It is unnecessary to give the list in full, since the accent of nearly all these words has been long settled by general usage. NOTE. There are a few cases of divided use in nouns, which will sooner or later be made to conform to the general rule. For example, usage will probably soon fix permanently on per'fect for the adjective, and perfect 1 for the Hie veru ; jfivceffis lut \-iiv MUUII, juiu //M/I ce< for the verb ; de'tail for the noun, and detail 1 for the verb; in' crease for the noun, and in- crease' for the verb; re'lail for the noun, and retail' for the verb; sur'vey for the noun, aud surrey' for the verb. j There is a tendency among many to accent the first syllable of the noun ally, nllifs ; and, although without sanction as yet from a siiiirle orthoepist, it would not be surprising if tiiis tendency should prevail, making the noun al'ly, al'lies, and the verb ally'. 113. We have a few dissyllables which are at once nouns and adjectives. These are dis- tinguished by accenting the nouns on the first syllable, and the adjectives on the last. NOUNS. ADJECTIVES. Au'gust, the month. August/, noble. Com'p:ict, an engagement. Compact', close. Ex'ile, banishment. Exile', small, slender. In'stinct, an impulse. Instinct', animated. Min'ute (of time). Minute', very small. Su'pine (in grammar). Supine', indolent. I TRISYLLABLES AND POLYSYLLABLES. 114. FOURTH PRINCIPLE. In words of three or more syllables, there is a strong ten- dency to accent the antepenult, or third sylla- ble from the end, as in el'oquent, ac'cident, op- portu'nity. | NOTE. This tendency is counteracted by ' that of dfriration ( Principle No. 1. See 109) ; ! and here arises another "conflict," which, to 1 some extent, arrays our scholars on the one side, and the body of the people on the other. Many scholars, for example, are strongly in- PRINCIPLES OF PRONUNCIATION. xix clined to say con tem'platf, demon' strate, confis'- cate, obdu'rate., &c. (forgetting that they cpme from participles, conttmfila'tus, demonstra'tus, &c. ), because by Latin rules their second syllable is long ; while the mass of the people, who know nothing of Latin, and are governed by English analogies, are equally bent on saying con' tern- plate, detn 1 onslrate , ob'durate, &c. The latter pronunciation is now very extensively heard, and thus we have a " divided usage" in respect to these aud similar words. 115. It is a just principle, laid down by Walker, that " when words come to us whole from the Greek or Latin, the same accent ought to be preserved as in the original." Hence the following words ought to be accented as here marked: namely, Abdo'men, hori'zon, deco'rmn, diplo'ma, muse'um, sono'rous, acu'men, bitu'- men, and, on like grounds, farra'go, and others. Yet the strong tendency of our language to ac- cent the antepenultimate in all words of three or more syllables has caused this principle to be violated in some cases, as in am'azon, min 1 - ister, or'ator, &c. 116. Words of more than two syllables having the same orthography are generally dis- tinguished by a difference of accent, as at 1 tri- bute, n., and attrib'nte, v., miiKOn'duct. n., and misconduct', v., o'virthrow, n., and overthrow', v. In such cases, the nouns have the accent further from the end. 117. With a very few exceptions, words of more than two syllables having the following terminations take the accent on the antepenult, or last syllable but two : -cracy ; as, democracy, iheoc'racy ; -ferous ; as, somniferous, umbelliferous ; -fluent ; as, affluent, circmn'fluent ; -fluous ; as, mellifluous, superfluous; -gnnal ; as, diag'onal. hexag'onal ; -gony ; as, cosmog'omj, tkeog'ony ; -'^rapher ; as, lexicog'rapher, slenog'rapher ; -graphy ; as, photog'raphy, typography ; -loger ; as, philol'nger, axtrol'oger ; Jogist ; as, entomologist, physiologist ; -logy ; as, chronol'ogy, mythot'ogy ; -lor/uy ; as, col'loquy, soliUoquy ; -meter; as, barom'eter, hygrom'eter ; ^netry ; as, altim'etry, geom'eiry ; -nom;/ ; as, astron'omy, econ'omy ; -paroits ; as, ovip'arous, v/rip'aroiis ; -pat/iy ; as, ap'athy, antip'athy ; -strophe ; as, apostrophe, catastrophe ; -tomy ; as, anat'omy, lithol.'omy ; -trophy, as, at'rophy, hyper 1 trophy ; -vorous, as, carniv'orous, graminivorous. 118. Words of more than two syllables, ending in -cute, -date, -gate, -fy, -tude, and -ly, preceded by a vowel, have, for the most part, the accent on the antepenult ; as dep'recate, ' rus'ticate, recip'rocate ; an'tedate, elu'cidaie, ac- \ com'modate; prop'agate, delegate, fu'migate ; rar'efy, sanc'tify ; qui'etude, latitude; soci'ety, acid'ity, dep'uty. 119. The penultimate syllable is to be ac- cented in almost all words having the sound of sh, or zA, or of consonant y immediately before the last vowel or diphthong ; e. g., dona'- tion, conces'sion, illu'sion, controversial, ver- mil'ion, opin'ion. THE TERMINATIONS 1C AND ICS. 120. Words ending in if and ics (deriva. tives from words in i/cos or icits, in Greek or Latin, or formed after the same analogy) have their accent on the penult : as, epidem'ic, scien- tific, &c. The following words are exceptions, having the accent on the antepenult ; namely, ag'aric, Ar'abic, arithmetic, ar'senic, n., cath 1 - olir, chol'eric, ephem'cric, her'etic, lu'natic, pieth 1 - oric, po'.'itic, rhet'oric, and tur'meric. Climacteric has usually the antepenultimate accent, though some pronounce it climacteric. In like man- ner, the nouns empiric and schismatic, and the noun and adjective splenetic, are sometimes ac- cented on the penult, and sometimes on the antepenult. 121. When two words of similar formation and the same accentuation arc i -oatrasted with each other, the accent is transferred to the syl- lable of differi nee (unless this is already accented, as in em'inent, im'mintnt), and the regularly accented syllable takes a secondary accent ; thus, undo' is pronounced un'do 1 when opposed to do or to out'do', and intervene' is pronounced in'tervene.' when used antithetically to su'per- vene' So also with am'puta'tion and im'puta'- tion, bi'en'nial and tri'en'nial, op'pose' and *;;'- post' ; ex'er'cise and cx'or'cise ; proph'et' and profit'; do' nor' and do'nce'. 122 When separately pronounced, all monosyllabic words have their vowel as dis- tinctly sounded as if under accent. But in connected discourse, certain classes of mo:io- syllablcs, such as articles, prepositions, pro- nouns, conjunctions, and auxiliary verbs, are usually uueniphasized, and their vowel is lia- ble to the same corruption of quality as that in an unaccented syllable of a word. But when used antithetically to other words, they are emphasized, receiving a full and distinct stress of voice. Thus, we say a, your, tkit. t,';c, frSm, fir, &c., when wo pronounce the words by themselves ; but in actual use they become nearly or quite ft, yur, that, thti, fram, fur, &c. The following 'passage from the tf Specta- tor," No. 80, well illustrates this tendency to a corruption of the vowel sound in unemphasi/ied monosyllables : " My lords, with humble sub- mission that that I say is this, that that that that gentleman has advanced is not that that he should have proved to your lordships." xx RULES FOE SPELLING.

This practice appears to have arisen from a desire to prevent the vowel of the final syllable of the primitive from being inaccurately pronounced long in the derivatives. These words are chiefly those end- ing in /, with also a few of other terminations. The following list, the words in which are chiefly verbs, includes the most important of those in regard to which usage varies ; namely, apparel, barrel, bevel, bias, bowel, cancel, carburet (and all similar words ending in uret), cavil, carol, channel, chisel, compromit, counsel, cudgel, dial, dishevel, dowel, drivel, duel, empanel, enamel, equal, funnel, gambol, gravel, grovel, handsel, hatchel, imperil, jewel, kennel, kidnap, label, laurel, level, libel, marshal, marvel, medal, metal, model, panel, parallel, par eel, penr.il, peril, pis- tol, pommel, quarrel, ravel, revel, rival, rowel, shovel, shrivel, snivel, tassel, tinsel, trammel, travel, tunnel, unravel, vial, victual, worship. In this Dictionary, the derivatives of these words are made to conform to the rule, as recommended by Walker, Lowth, and other eminent scholars. 131(91' Derivatives formed from words end- ing in a double consonant, by adding one or more syllables, commonly retain both consonants ; as, ebb, ebbing ; stiff, stiffness ; skill, skillful, skillfulness ; will, willful, willfidlness ; dull, dull- ness ; full, fullness. So also the double I is re- tained in, the words installment, inthrallment, thralldom, and enrollment (from install, inthrall, thrall, and enroll), in order to prevent the false pronunciation they might receive if spelled with one /. Many writers and lexicographers, es- pecially in England, omit one I in these words, as also in the derivatives of skill, ivill, dull, and full, formed by adding the syllables ly and ness. The derivatives of pontiff are exceptions to the rule, being written with only one f; as, jjontific, pontifical, pontificial, and the like. One I also is dropped in a few words formed by adding the termination ly to words ending in II, in order to prevent the concurrence of three Vs ; as, dull, dully ; full, fully. 132 (10). In derivatives formed from words ending with silent e, the e is generally retained when the termination begins with a conso- nant ; as, pale , paleness ; hate, hateful ; incite, incitement. When, however, the e is immedi- ately preceded by another vowel (except el), it is often dropped from the derivative ; as, due, duly ; argue, argument; true, truly ; awe, awful; and the derivatives and compounds of these words. The words wholly, nursling, wisdom, abridg- ment, acknowledgment, lodgment, judgment, and the compounds of some of these, are ex- ceptions. The last four, however, are written, by many authors, aiiridgement, acknowledge- ment, lodgement, judgement. 133 (11)- In derivatives formed from words ending with silent e, when the termination begins with a vowel, the e is generally omitted, except in the cases mentioned in the next paragraph ; as, bride, bridal ; plume, plumage ; come, coming; move, movable ; fleece, fleecy ; force, forcible ; true, truism. The e is retained in the words hoeing, shoe- ing, and toeing (from hoe, shoe, and toe), in order to prevent a doubt as to the pronuncia- tion, that might arise in case it were Omitted. It is retained, also, in the words dyeing, singe- ing, springeing, swingeing, tingeing (from die, singe, springe, swinge, tinge), to distinguish them from dying, singing, springing, swinging, ting- ing (from die, sing, spring, swing, ting.) The word mileage, as commonly written, does not omit the e, though it is sometimes, and more correctly , spelled milage. The e, standing, in a derivative, before a termination beginning with a or o, and immediately after c or g, is retained in order to preserve the soft sounds of these consonants ; as, peace, peaceable ; notice, noticeable; manage, manageable ; change, changeable ; advantage, advantageous; mortgage, mortgageor. 134 (12). In derivatives formed from words ending in ie, by adding the termination ing, the e is dropped, and the i changed to y, in order to prevent two i's from coming together ; as, die, dying; hie, hying; lie, lying; tie, tying; vie, vying. 135 (13)- In derivatives of words ending in y, preceded by a consonant, and formed by ap- pending any termination except one beginning with i, the y is usually changed into i; as, mercy, merciless ; tidy, tidiness ; modify, mod- ifies ; foggy, fogginess ; pity, pitiful. The derivatives of adjectives of one syllable ending in y, preceded by a consonant, are ex- ceptions, and usually retain the y; as, shy, shyness ; sly, slyest ; dry, dryly ; wry, wryness. But the adjectives drier and driest, from dry, are commonly written with i instead of y. Derivatives formed by adding the termination ship, as secretaryship, suretyship, ladyship, and the like, also retain the ?/, though some authors write them with i, according to the rule. Baby- hood and ladykin are likewise exceptions. 136 (14). Derivatives formed by affixing a termination to words ending in y, preceded by a vowel, generally retain the y unchanged ; as, gay, gayety, gayly ; play, player, plays ; sway, swayed ; obey, obeying ; joy, joyful. The words daily, laid, paid, said, saith, slain, and staid (from day t lay, pay, say, slay, and stay), with their compounds, are exceptions. Staid, however, is sometimes written stayed. Derivatives from words ending in uy, as collo- quies, from colloquy, are not exceptions to the rule, as u, in such cases, is not strictly a vowel, but stands for the consonant w. 137 (15). Derive i; ves formed by appending XX11 RULES FOR SPELLING. a syllable beginning with a vowel to words end- ing with a vowel sound, generally retain the letter or letters representing such sound ; as, huzza, huzzaed ; agree, agreeable, agreeing ; wiifh, w< in/tin^ : echo, echoed; woo, wooes. Derivatives of words of this class ending in silent e, as also those formed from words end- ing in double e, by adding a termination be- ginning with e, drop the final e ; as, hoe, hoed; sue, sued ; owe, owed ; free, freer, freest ; agree, fgrced. The cases mentioned in sections 11, 12, and 13 are also exceptions. 138 (13)- Derivatives formed by prefixing one or more syllables to words ending in a double consonant commonly retain both con- sonants ; as, rebuff, befall, inthrall, foretell, ful- fill, enroll, emboss (from buff, fall, tftrall, tell, Jill, roll, boss). The word until is an exception, being always written with one /. Those words of this class which end in II are written by some authors, especially in England, with one I ; as, befal, in- thral, foretel, fulfil, enrol. The words distill and instill should be written with the I doubled, though they are often written distil and instil, with only one I. 139 (1^)- Compound words formed by join- ing two or more words commonly retain all the letters of the simple words ; as, stiff-necked, well- bred, dull-eyed, save-all. There are numerous exceptions to this rule, many of them compounds which by long use have acquired the force of single words. They are the following ; namelj', some compounds of all and well ; as, almighty, almost, alone, already, also, although, altogether, always, withal, therewithal, u-lierewilhal, welcome, wel- fur:- : compounds of mass ; as, Candlemas, Christmas, Lammas, Michaelmas, &c. ; words of which the second part is the adjective full; as, artful, hateful, ruef id, woeful; also, the words r hilblain, fulfill, namesake, neckerchief, numskull, pastime, standish, and wherever. 140 (18). The plural of nouns regularly cuds in s, or, in certain classes of words, in es. When the noun in the singular ends with such a sound that the sound of 5 can unite with it, and be pronounced without forming a separate syllable, s only is added in forming the plural ; as, sea, seas ; tree, trees ; woe, woes ; canto, tanlos ; virtue, virtues ; cab, cabs ; bead, beads ; chief, chiefs : bay^ bags ; path, paths ; lock, locks ; gem, gems : jam , jams ; ear, ears ; aft, arts. A few plurals from nouns ending in o preceded by a con- sonant, end in es : as, echo, echoes ; cargo, car- goes ; embargo, embargoes ; motto, mottoes ; pota- to, potatoes. Other nouns of this class genera 11\- form their plurals regularly , though usage differs with regard to some of them. Those in which final o is preceded by a vowel form their plurals Tvgularly. With regard to nouns ending in i, usage differs, though they are more properly written with the termination is. When the noun in the singular ends with such a sound (as that of ch, sh, j, s, x, or z) that the sound of i can not unite with it in pronunciation, but must form a separate syl- lable, e is inserted before s in forming the plural, unless the word ends with silent e, in which case the latter serves to form a separate syllable with 5, as, church, churchts ; rush, rushes; age,agcs; lace, laces; gas, gases; box, boxes ; maze, mazes. To express the plural of a letter, figure, or any character or sign, or of a word mentioned without regard to its meaning, the letter s, generally preceded by the apostrophe, is ap- pended, as in the phrases, " The two/'s in all ; " "The ivlnfs and wherefore's of the question." 141 (1^*)- Nouns ending in y preceded by a consonant form their plural by adding es and changing y into i; as, mercy, mercies; lady, ! ladies. This rule includes words ending in yuy, in which u, being pronounced like w, is strictly a consonant ; as, colloquy, cotloqui/s. When the singular of a noun ends in y pre- ceded by a vowel (except u having the power of w), the plural is regularly formed by adding s only: as, day, days; key, keys; money, moneys ; attorney, attorneys ; alloy, alloys. 142 (20). The plurals of a few nouns ending in f or fe are irregularly formed by changing f or fe into ves. The following words, with their compounds, are the principal examples ; namely, life, lives; knife, knives ; wife, wivis ; leaf, leaves ; sheaf, sheaves ; loaf, loaves ; beef, In (' .v . thief, thit res ; calf, calves ; half, halves; elf, elves ; sdf, selves ; slulf, shelves ; wolf, wolves. The plural of staff is sometimes written staffs, but more commonly staves, except when it means a corps of officers, either military or civil, in which sense it is always written staff's. The plural of wharf is generally written wharfs in England ; in the United States it is more commonly, but improperly, written wharves. The plurals of other nouns ending inf,fe, orff, are formed regularly by the addition of only. 143 (21). In the following nouns, the plural is distinguished from the singular only by a change of the vowel or vowel sound of the word; namely, man, men; woman, women; goose, geese; foot, feet; tooth, teeth; brother, brethren; louse, lire ; mouse, mice. Compounds ending with these words form their plurals in the same manner; as, fotman, foemen; dor- mouse, dormice. Words which end- in the syl- lable man, and are not compounds, form their plurals regularly, by adding s only ; as, cayman, cai/mnns :firman,Jirnians ; talisman, Inlismans; German, Germans: Mussulman, Mussulmans. 144 (22). A few plurals end in en ; namely, brother, brethren ; child, children ; ox, oxen. RULES FOR SPELLING. 145 (23). The words brother, die, pea, and penny, have each two plurals of different forms and with different significations ; as, brothers, male children of the same parent, also, mem- bers of the same society, association, class, or profession ; brethren, members of the same re- ligious or ecclesiastical body, the word in this form being rarely used except in religious writ- ings, or in scriptural language, where it also has the same meaning that brother has in ordi- nary language ; dies, implements for making impressions by stamping, or for making screws, also the cubical parts of pedestals ; dice, the cubi- cal blocks used in games of chance ; peas, seeds of the pea-plant, when a definite number is mentioned ; pease, the same in bulk, or spoken of collectively ; pennies, the coins, especially when a definite number is mentioned ; pence, the amount reckoned by these coins. 148 (24)- A few words, mostly names of animals, have the same form in the plural as in. the singular; as, deer, sheep, trout, &c. 147 (25). Many words adopted from foreign languages retain their original plurals ; as, da- tum, data; criterion, criteria; genus, genera; larva, larvss ; crisis, crist s ; matrix, matrices ; fonts, foci ; monsieur, messieurs. Many words of tlii.s class, while retaining the original plurals, have also a second, formed after the analogy of English words of similar termination ; as, formula, formula, or formulas; beau, beaux or beans; stratum, strata or stra- tums ; bandit, banditti or bandits; cherub, cher- ubim or cherubs; seraph, seraphim or seraphs. The plurals of the last two words are some- times incorrectly written cherubirns and ser- aphims, with double plural terminations. 148 (26). In certain loose compounds con- sisting of a noun followed by an adjective or other qualifying expression, the plural is com- monly formed by making the same change in the noun as when it stands alone; as, court- martial, courts-martial ; cousin-german, cous- in.f-german ; son-in-law, sons-in-law. When, however, the adjective is so closely joined to the noun that the compound has the force of a simple word, the plural of the compound is commonly formed like that of any other word of the same termination ; as, cupful, cupfuls. 149 (27). There are many words, besides those mentioned in the preceding paragraphs, in respect to which good usage is variable. The most important of these words are mentioned in this and the succeeding sections. The derivatives of the word villain, as villain- ous, villainy, &c., though often written villan- ous, viUanij, &c., properly retain 'he i, accord- ing to the practice of many writer, like those of other words similarly ending in am, as mountainous, from mountain. The words connection, deflection, inflection, XX111 and refection, follow the spelling of the words connect, deflect, inflect, and reflect, though often written, especially in England, connexion, de- flijr.ion, inflexion, and reflexion. The word woe, though often written without the final e, should retain it, like most other nouns of one syllable and of similar form ; as, doe, floe, foe. hoe, sloe, toe, &c. Monosyllables other than nouns, and words of more than one syllable, having a similar termination, omit the e ; as, do, go, no, so, canto, motto, potato. The words defense, expense, offense, and pre- tense, are properly written thus, though often spelled with c instead of s; for the i belongs to the words from which they are derived, and is also used in all their derivatives. The words drought and height were formerly written drouth and /light, and are still very often thus written in America. The verb practice is thus written like the noun, in preference to practise, though the latter spelling is used by many writers, especially in England. The difference in spelling between the noun and the verb is properly observed, in words of this kind, only in such as are ac- cented on the last syllable, as device, devise. 15O (28). There is a class of words begin- ning with en, or in as, enclose or inclose, en- quire, or inquire, ensure, or insure, and the like, many of which take either form of the prefix indifferently. They are chiefly derived from the Latin, either directly or through the French, the prefix in belonging to the former language, and en to the latter. In some of these words, en is to be preferred ; in others, in; in many of them, either may be used. 151 (29). There is a class of words ending in er, some of which are written by most au- thors with the termination re ; as, center, meter, theater, &c., which are often written centre, metre, theatre, &c. Acre, chancre, lucre, nucre, massacre, and oyre, retain the termination re, so as to preserve the hard sound of the c and the g. 152 (30). There are two classes of chemical words ending respectively, as more commonly written, in ide and ine. in regard to which usage has been variable. Most of them were formerly written without the final e, but it is now the almost universal practice to retain it : as, bromide, iodide, chlorine, fluorine, &c. The word tannin is always written without the final e. Oxide is now generally written with the ter- mination ide, though formerly by many written oxi/d, from the supposition that the y of the last syllable represented the v of the Greek 6v, from which the word is derived ; whereas the last syllable is simply the same as the termina- tion c" the words bromide, sulphide, &c. 153 (31)- There is a class of words ending, as pronounced, with the sound of long i, fol- XXIV RULES FOR SPELLING. lowed by z, some of which are differently written, by different authors, with either ise or ize to represent this sound ; a?, criticize or criticise ; civilize or civilise ; naturalize or naturalise ; patronize or patronise. These words are mostly verbs, and are chiefly de- rived from Greek words ending in ujw, or from French words ending in iser or iV. There are a few from other sources, but formed in analogy with those derived from these languages. Those formed from Greek words have the termination ize ; as, characterize, dramatize, tantalize. The words catechise and exorcise are exceptions. Those formed in an analogous manner from English words are like- wise written with ize ; as, memorize. Those derived from the French verb prendre (par- ticiple pris, or prise) end in ise; as, apprise, comprise, emprise, enterprise, surprise. Of those formed from French words other than prendre, or which have corresponding forms in the French, a majority end in ize, though in re- spect to some of them usage is variable ; as, civilize, organize, satirize. The following are the principal English verbs ending in is> ; i namely, advertise, advise, apprise, catechiu, chas- tisf. circumcise, comprise, compromise, criticise, demise, despise, devise, d is/ran c/iise, disguise, divert ire, emprise, enfranchise, enterprise, tx'r- cise, exorcise, franchise, misprise, premise, re- prise, revise, supervise, surmise, surprise. It may be remarked that most of those in respect to which usage varies are more frequently written in England with the termination ise, and in tue United States with the termination ize. 154 (32). The words mold and molt, and their compounds and derivatives, are written hi this Dictionary with o instead of on, in analogy with the words bold, bolt, colt, gold, &c., from which the u has been dropped. Most authors, however, write these words mould and moult, and their derivatives in like manner. 155 (33). There is a numerous class of words almost universally written, in the United States, with the termination or, man}' of which are written, in England, with the termination our; as, candor, favor, honor, labor, rumor, vigor. English usage, however, is far from be- ing uniform with respect to these words, many of them being written with or in English books. ABBREVIATIONS AND EXPLANATIONS. a. adjective. f. feminine. L.

Turkish. 3i > L Qi marked with this sign [J under- neath, have an obscure sound similar to that of short , but are usually consid- erably shorter, and, indeed, sometimes are almost mute: thus, Grat'tan might be pro- nounced grat'tfin or grat't'n ; Hel'ler, htil / - lur or hel'l'r, &c. a, S, o are similar in sound to a, e, o, but are not to be pronounced so long. U is employed to denote the long sound of a. b has a sound similar to e in her; it may be Anglicized by e. U represents the sound of the German it and the French u, which are uttered with the lips in the position for oo and the tongue in that for ee ; it may be Anglicized by the English M. U, small capital, is intended to represent the sound of the French eu, which is pro- nounced nearly like u iii the English word fur. B, small capital, is used to denote the sound of b in Spanish, often nearly approximating that of v. D, small capital, is intended to represent a sound similar to th in this. Q and K, small capitals, indicate a peculiar guttural sound of the German ch, or one similar to it. 16 H, small capital, has a sound somewhat similar to the preceding, but more resembling a strongly aspirated h. 1 (I liquid) is to be pronounced like tti in million; it blends the sounds of I and y consonant. M and N, small capitals, are used in the re- spelling of French words, to represent the nasal sound of the preceding vowel, and are not themselves to be pronounced. The French nasal vowels are aN, ON, ON, HN, be- ing similar in sound to ang, 5ng, ong, ung. 2 is pronounced like ni in minion ; it blends the sounds of n and y consonant. R, small capital, has nearly the sound of rr in terror, but stronger. s is used to indicate that the sound of the .1 is very soft, nearly resembling our z. In the middle of a word it should be pro- nounced like a soft z. w has a sound similar to our v. The " over the w is intended to point out its alliance to our v. y and ey at the end of an unaccented syllable sound like i in pin. au and aw have the sound of o in fall. ee indicates the clear sound of short t before r, as in the English words spirit, miracle, &c. ow is to be pronounced like ow in cow, and ou like ou in house. In respelling for pronun- ciation, ow has been replaced by ou wher- ever the former combination would be liable to be pronounced like 6, as in grow, tow, &.c. e other marked letters are the same as those used in the body of the Dictionary.

PREFIXES AND SUFFIXES. \* The " Exercises " given below are designed to furnish material for instruction and prac- tice in the etymological analysis of English words. It is suggested that a certain number of pre- fixes or suffixes be assigned as a lesson for study, and that the pupil be required to ascertain and explain the literal meaning of the examples appended to them, including the root as well as the formative syllables. To aid in this, the use of Webster's Quarto or Octavo (" National ") Dic- tionarv will be necessary. PREFIXES. A, a prefix to many English words, is in some cases a con- traction of on, in, at, of, to, for ; as, ablaze for in a blaze, aboard for on board, afoot for on foot, aground for on the ground, ado for to do, await for wait for. In other cases, it is contracted from the A.-S. inseparable particle ge-. which forms verbs from verbs, substantives, adjec- tives, and is a sort of aug- ment to the past participle. In some cases, it only in- creases the force of the word, without any essential addi- tion of meaning. In some words of Greek origin, a gives them a negative sense : before a vowel it becomes an. In a few words of Latin origin, it is another form of the pre- fix ab. EXERCISE. ^Iwakc, asleep, ahead, aside, afar, aweary ; apa- thetic, amorphous, atheist, a- byss, aorist, anonymous, anom- aly, anecdote, anarchy; abate, avert. Ab, a prefix to words of Latin origin, and a Latin preposi- tion, is the same as the Greek an-6, Goth, a/, A.-S. and Eng. of. It denotes from, separa- tion, or departure.
