SiRK, To Your Majesty, I dedicate a Desideratum in English Literature, a Fac-simile Pronouncing Dictionary, in which, every letter, in Seventy, seven thousand words, represents a sound actually heard in the Pronunciation ; whereas, the only Pronouncing Dictionaries that have ever been published,— Mr. Sheridan's and Mr. Walker's,— have, for these Fifty years, presented to the eye, in marking the Pronunciations, many thousands of letters, for which no sound is heard in the actual pronunciation, of these words. My Dictionary also contains Twenty thousand words more than Dr. Johnson's ; and, Forty-three thousand more than either Mr. Sheridan's, or Mr. Walker's ; and, by merely committing a few Rules to memory. Foreigners may now acquire a perfect mastery of the pronunciation of every word in the language, a language, which.

With grateful acknowledgments for Your Majesty's most gracious con- descension in permitting me to dedicate my Work to Your Majesty, I offer up a fervent prayer, that. Your Majesty's reign may continue to be peaceful, pros- perous, and happy; and that, as long as the English language shall continue to be spoken m the United Kingdoms of England, Scotland, and Ireland, a Sovereign, in the hne of Your Majesty's Royal House, may continue to hold the Sceptre of the British Empire, under the integrity of its Constitution,-a Constitution, more capable of securing to Your Majesty's Subjects the blessings of general, and indi- vidual protection, happiness, and national liberty, than any that has ever existed; or that, the collective wisdom of man could devise.

AN Anatomical anli Hogical ISxposttton OF TUB PRINCIPLES ON WHICH HUMAN SPEECH IS FOUNDED, Be FORK I proceed to give a complete developement of the nature, the number, and the properties of all the simple and compound sounds of the English language, I think it necessary to give the following philosophical and practical statement of the fundamental principles of human speech, as applicable to all languages. OF HUMAN SPEECH SECTION I. '• The power of speech," that is, of articulate speech, as the medium of human thoughts, " is a faculty pecu- liar to man ; and was bestowed on him, by his benefi- cent Creator, for the greatest and most excellent uses ; but, alas ! how often do we pervert it to the worst of purposes?" — Louth's Grammar, p. 17. " Thou man alone canst speak. Wonder at thy glo- rious prerogative, and pay to Him who gave it thee rational and welcome praise ; teaching thy children wisdom — instructing the offspring of thy loins in piety." — Economij of Human Life. In the following reflections and attempts at an accu- rate exposition of the above subject, the origin, nature, and powers of vocal speech are anatomically and philo- sophically considered, with respect to all languages, and practically applied to the English language, in a deve- lopement and examination of all its simple and compound articulations, vgwels, consonants, and diphthongs — their nature, formation, properties," and number, as charac- teristically different from each other, and as forming syllables and words. Of the Mind, Intellect, or Understanding ,- or, in other words, of the Brain of Man, and its various Passive and Active Powers, as the Sources of Speech or Language. By a physical knowledge of the human mind, philo- sophers, metaphysicians, and logicians mean a know- ledge of its essence : that is, a knowledge of the parti- cular motions of the animal spirits, as proceeding from the heart and operating on the brain, on which thinking depends ; and, whether the formation of our ideas depends upon matter or not. Now, this is a knowledge possessed only by the Cre- ator, which will, most probably, be for ever hidden from man, in this his earthly state of existence. The Su- preme Being, however, having, in his wisdom and goodness, created man not only as a sentient, but, a thinking being, and a free agent, endowed him also with the powers of consciousness, reflection, and reasoning, to enable him to distinguish right from wrong, in thinking, speaking, and acting, under the pure guidance of his revealed will, word, and ordinances ; and not under the headstrong influence of his own sinful, cor- rupt, and selfish imaginations, — which have become so through the disobedience of our first parents, and their consequent fall from the original purity of heart and mind with which God endowed them. But, a knowledge of the mere animal nature, sub- stance, and susceptibilities of the brain of man, the perceptions and powers of which, under the constant influence of his will, his desires, and passions, and the emotions of his heart, constitute what is called his mind ; a knowledge also that the brain receives the first impressions, called ideas, from all the external objects that present themselves to his senses, and an additional knowledge that, the ideas so received operate on ohq another, and are commingled so as to produce a second set of ideas, which, together with the first, form, by thcj help of words, as their signs, what is called language ; all these have been, with great approaches to accuracy, ascertained and developed by anatomists, logicians, phi- losophers, and grammarians, as the only apparent sources on which thinking, and the formation of man's ideas depend ; and as the apparent boundaries beyond which' his Creator has ordained he should not pass in his re- searches to discover any other co-existing causes on which they may also partly depend. The orthoepist, or grammarian, is not called upon to describe the texture of the brain ^r the cavities which contain it, but simply to state, tL ,, anatomists say the brain of man is more voluminous than that of almost every other animal, and that the quantity or dimen- sions of it are proportioned to the size of the head, and generally in direct proportion to the capacity or com- prehensiveness of the mind, or understanding ; and that, a man eminently distinguished for the extent and power of his mental faculties is almost invariably found to have a large head. From these discoveries and observatiftns of anatomists, however accurate they may be, it is not to be taken for a fact, that every man having a large head is necessarily a man of superior mental capacity, genius, or talents in one way or another ; for, there are many causes of an augmentation of the size of the head, beside the size or quantity of the brain ; and it may be observed here, that, the only way of estimating the vo- lume of the brain in any living person is, to measure the dimensions of the skull. God has been pleased, in his mercy and goodness, to endow many of his other creatures beside man with a social disposition ; and all with a natural language of tones, looks, and gestures, suited ta their several wants and feelings, and to their different spheres of action and utility. But, man, whom he ordained to have dominion over all the other creatures, and to walk erect upon the earth, and exercise his power in mercy over them all, he not only endowed with a social disposition, and a na- tural language of tones, looks, and gestures, but, also, with the power of forming an artificial language, to be used, not merely as the common means of social union, and moral happiness, in his intercourse with his fellow- men, but, as the great instrument by the use of which he was to hold communion with his Creator, by prayer and thanksgiving ; and also draw forth, cultivate, and bring into action, all the nobler powers of his nature, and the pure emotions of his heart, and keep in sub- jection to these, all the merely animal feelings, appe- tites, and passion^ which he possesses in common with the brutes. Man, therefore, has his mouth, and the various organs connected with it, so fashioned by his Creator as to render them capable of forming, with the greatest nicety of distinction, a great variety of articu- late sounds, which constitute spoken language, of which written language is the type. But, the peculiar fitness of man's organs to form a certain number and variety of articulate sounds was not of itself sufficient to produce language, for, parrots and other birds have been taught to utter articulate sounds, and whole sentences, distinctly enough, though utterly debarretl, by the will of their Divine Creator, from en- EXPOSITION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF SPEECH. croaching on the prerogative of man, by attaching meaning, t(>^them ; so true it is, as Buffon says, that "no dispi*:ition" (rather formation), "of matter, but tiiat which the Creator has willed, can give mind." To the complete formation of language, it was there- fore necessary that man should be able to use certain ar- ticulate sounds, called words, agreed upon by a kind of tacit compact, the result of imitation in different coun- tries, as signs of all the perceptions received into his mind ; that is, received by his brain, from all external objects, through the medium of his five senses, which are seeing, hearing, tasting, feeling, and smelling. Under the?>; fundamental sources of spoken language, the first procesi was, to call each impression made on the brain by the external objects which the senses per- ceive, an idea, thought, or notion. The second, to call all the articulate sounds, whether simple or compound, which are made use of in speaking, or, by their marks in writing, as the signs of those thoughts, ideas, or no- tions, words ; as being the mediums, the instrumpnts, by which whatever passes in the heart and mind of one man, is conveyed to the hearts and minds of his fellow men, accompanied by tones, looks, and gestures, as ex- pressive of the feelings, emotions, and passions, which are generated by those ideas. The second process necessary to the construction of language was, that words should be made use of not only as signs of the impressions which the mind receives from all external objects through the medium of the senses, called in grammar, ideas, &c. ; but also, that, they should be made use of as signs of the ideas gene- rated in the mind or brain itself, by the various opera- tions of those first ideas upon one another, in the acts which are called thinking, recollecting, willing, reason- ing, &c. ; by which operation, another class of ideas are generated or formed, called ideas of reflection ; so that sensation and reflection are the only sources of all our thoughts or ideas. In the third place, neithfer were the uses of words to stand as symbols of single thoughts, derived externally from the senses ; or formed internally by the operations of those first thoughts upon one another, sufficient to make words as extensively useful as they ought to be ; for, it is not enough for the perfection of language that words can be made use of as the signs of single thoughts ; they must be made use of as comprehending under one complex, or general term, several individual ideas of persons, places, and things, &c. of the same genus, or species ; for, the multiplication of words, each of which was to be used as the sign or name of only one place, person, or thing, action, emotion, passion, event, &c. spoken of, would have perplexed the use of words, and been found an impossible attempt. To remedy, therefore, this inconvenience, language, whether spoken or written, had yet a farther improve- ment to make, in the use and adoption of general, or complex terms ; whereby one word is used to mark, or include under it, as a common name, a number, or class, or multitude of particular persons, things, places, &c. ; that is, of individual existences. This necessary, and advantageous use of words, is obtained by using one word as the sign or name of a vihole class or species of per- sons, places, things, &c. ; as man, cow, palace, arti- choke, rose ; or, as the sign or name of several species or classes, as animal, building, vegetable, flower, &c., such words being properly called complex, or general terms ; for, as Home Tooke observes on Mr. Locke's use of the term " complex idea," throughout his " Essay on the Human Understanding," there is no such thing in nature as a complex idea. Again, for the sake of brevity or despatch in dis- course, language required still farther improvements. It required that one word should be made use of fre- quently to convey the meaning of several dissimilar ideas, as constituting a whole phrase or sentence, which had been expressed in a preceding part of a discourse, or, of several sentences or paragraphs, &c. For exam- ples of all these methods used for the sake of despatch, the curious reader is referred to Mr. Locke's " Essay on the Human Understanding," and to Home Tooke's " Diversions of Purley." These few preliminary observations lead us to a prac- tical consideration of the general uses of speech, and a more particular elucidation of the principal powers and actions of the brain, or mind, and exertions of the will, which arc employed in the formation of language. SECTION IL OF THE POWERS, PASSIVE AND ACTIVE, OF THE HUMAN BRAIN, ANn THE IMPRESSIONS MADE ON IT, WHICH ALTOGETHER FORM WHAT IS CALLED THE MIND, IN- TELLECT, OR UNDERSTANDING. Independently of considering man as a social, reli- gious, and moral being, accountable to his Maker for the use which he makes of all the wonderful faculties and privileges with which he has endowed him, one of the most remarkable distinctions between him and the brute species is, that, whilst all the faculties of brutes grow up with them without any assistance from man, all the nobler faculties of man require pains to unfold, direct, and carry them to perfection ; for, though formed for social life, he would neither be capable of recognizing the proper subjects of discourse, nor of discoursing con- sistently, nor to any distinct purpose, if he were not en- dowed, in a pre-eminent degree, with many faculties which brutes either want entirely, or possess only in a very limited degree. Of these faculties the following are the principal : — First, sensation ; or, a capability in the brain of re- ceiving, through the medium of the senses, a distinct, though not always an indelible impression, from every person, place, or thing, action, quality, essence, motion, &c. &c. , that can in any way become an object of the senses ; which power is called perception, or sensation, the brain of man, when he is born, being, like a sheet of white paper, void of any impressions ; that is, he is not born with innate impressions, innate ideas of per- sons, places, or things of any kind ; sensation, there- fore, is our first observation employed about external perceptible things, objects, &c. ; and we receive the ideas of sensation from the impressions made on our organs of sense by external sensible objects ; as a man, a tall man, a flower, a yellow flower, a stone, a hard stone, a cry, aloud crv, an apple, a sour apple, a weed, an offensive weed, ixc. Sensation is thus the first source or inlet of our ideas ; of all knowledge, merely human. Secondly, reflection ; which is our observation exer- cised about the internal operation of our ideas, passive and active ; is the second power of the brain or mind. It is the power which enables us to view, over and over again, the first impressions made on the brain by all external objects, through the medium of the senses, and examine them as we would the features of our face in a glass ; and combine and exercise them so as, out of their various operations, to form new internal ideas, which, on account of their being so formod, are called ideas of reflection ; so that, the whole stock of our ideas become ranked under the two general heads, or classes, of ideas of sensation, and ideas of reflection. " We receive the ideas of reflection," says Locke, " from the operations of our ideas in thinking, which operations, when the mind perceives them, furnishes those ideas of reflection. Examples of reflection are the operations of doubting, reasoning, willing." Picfiection is called by Locke an internal sense, from its resemblance in its powers to sensation ; for, as sensation imparts .ideas to the brain, from the impressions made on the senses by all external objects ; reflection also generates other ideas, from all the ideas that are impressed on the brain in both these ways. From the preceding observations and definitions, we draw the following conclusions ; that sensation, strictly so called, is always employed about external objects ; reflection, about internal. In any particular instance, a sensation means an im- pression made on some part of the body, and noticed by the brain. In this sense, and in other respects, the brain is passive ; for no man can rtfuse to perceive ideas of objects presented to him ; nor be ignorant of what he din>s when he thinks. The brain, like a mirror, is forced to receive impres- sions, just as external objects make them ; and like it, cannot refuse to receive, cannot alter, cannot obliterate, EXPOSITION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF SPEECH. any impression made on it by any object presented to it, though disease may, as it were, in spite of our wishes to retain them, totally efface some of the impressions which it has received. Wliatever is perceived in any way, externally, or in- ternally, is called an object. The stock of our ideas is increased by reflection, ex- perience, and composition. Perception is frequently called thinking ; but, thinking is not a proper term for this faculty ; because, thinking implies action ; but, in perception the brain is passive. From various causes, the brain, or mind, does not always notice the impressions made on the senses by external objects ; hence, two things are necessary to the existence of any idea in the mind ; these are sensation and perception ; for, perception is the inlet to all our knowledge ; and it is absolutely necessary to perception that the brain should take notice of all the impressions made on the senses by all external objects. JMemory, or retention, is the third power of the brain, or mind ; and, consists in storing u p, and retaining in the mind, the simple ideas of scnsalion and reflection ; and the complex, or general terms, which are the signs for whole classes of individual ideas, each bearing some common resemblance to all the rest. Locke calls me- mory the storehouse of the mind, the storehouse of our ideas ; thus attaching to it a passive, and an active sig- nification. He says there arc two kinds of retention, contemplation and memory. I'he former, he says, is keeping an idea for some time actually in view. The latter is, the power of reviving in the mind ideas that had disappeared, after having been imprinted on it ; but, this latter power of retention, or memory, ought rather to be called recollection, or reminiscence. Memory depends very nmch on the constitution of our bodies. Its business is to furnish to the mind dor- mant ideas when occasion requires. Memory di(]t'ers from simple perception by the addi- tional perception annexed to ideas of memory ; viz., that we had them before. Mr. Locke, from whose Essay the greater part of these definitions are taken, calls memory a second per- ception, from the notice which it takes of ideas, and says that, it is sometimes active, and sometimes passive ; active, when it sets itself to work in searching out an idea, which employment he calls tui'ning, as it were, the eye of the soul on its ideas ; passive, when ideas, of their own accord, appear in the mind. Recollection, or reminiscence, is the fourth power of the brain, or mind, and is the power of recalling, or bringing back, or perhaps more properly bringing out from the storehouse of the brain, after they had been used and laid by, and forgotten for a time, impressions which it had received some time before. Discerning, is the fifth faculty of the brain, or mind, and is the power of distinguishing between ideas in the mind. It prevents confusion among our ideas, and on it depend the evidence and certainty Of a groat many general propositions. The mind gets the idea of the operation of discerning by reflection. Exactness of judgment, and clearness of reasoning, are obtained by clearness of discerning. Comparing ideas with one another, says Locke, is another faculty of the mind ; and the ideas that de- pend on this faculty are all comprehended under rela- tion. This power, says he, extends only to general propositions, used in abstract reasonings. He does not mention this power as one of the four acts which con- stitute the power called reason, though the words which he uses in marking its force ; viz., that "it extends only to general propositions," sufficiently denote that it does not apply to mere simple ideas of sensation and reflection, and to complex or general terms, of which only he has treated in his Essay. I have, therefore, included comparistm under the term reason, as one of the four exercises which constitute this faculty. Reason is the sixth power of the brain or mind. It consists in examining, arranging, combining, and com- paring our ideas of persons, places, and things of all kinds, as presented to the mind, and impressed upon it bv the senses ; and all those which are generated in the mind by reflection on the various operations of those first simple ideas, combined and acting upon one ano- ther, and on the mind itself; and also i)i inging, examining, combining, and comparing ' complex terms under which many classes of ideas, as expressing genus and species, are included, those complex terms or words, as including several individuals, being called common names ; the logical, or grammatical distinctions of names being, that every word, or general term, that is a name for several classes, as the word animal, is called a common name expressing genus ; every word that is the name of only one class, as man, is called a common name expressing species ; and every word which is the name of only one of a class, as London, is called an individual, or proper name. Imagination, or fancy, is the seventh jjower of the mind, a power arising out of the exercise of reflection, and often unconsciously exercised, even in sleep, in a wonderful manner. It consists in forming in our waking hours, pictures, or resemblances of persons, places, and things of all kinds already known, when not present to the senses ; or, in creating out of them beings of its own, bearing some strange resemblances to known beings ; of examining their nature, properties, and es- sences ; of reviewing the actions performed, or said to be performed by them ; and of making them pass be- fore the mind, either in their natural forms, under the guidance of nature, truth, reason, and revelation ; or, in grotesque, disorderly, and discordant forms, un<;(m- troUed by nature, truth, reason, and revelation, and under the sole guidance of falsehood, the passions, and impiety. In a discourse, annexed to the first volume of his " Art of Reading," published in London about the year 1774; Mr. Sheridan has given so just and striking a description of this faculty, that I trust my readers will not be displeased at my presenting theui with the whole of what he says of it. " Man is a compound being._ He is the link between spiritual and animal existence ; and partakes of both their natures : but, he has also something peculiar to himself. His intellectual faculties, prove his alliance to a superior class of beings. His sensual appetites and passions, show his alnnity to brutes : but, it is in the powers of the imagination, that we are to seek for his own peculiar, or human nature, as distinguishing him from the brute species, on the one hand, and the purely spiritual, on the other. " As reason, presides over the intellectual ; passion, over the sensitive ; so fancy, governs this part of the human frame. And, of all the faculties belonging to man, this seems to be the most constant in its operations ; and the most extensive in its influence. The power of fancy over ideas of sensation, and reflection, is un- bounded. She creates beings of her own ; and, so great is her influence, that beings of her creation often make deeper impressions on the minds of men, than such as have a real existence. She excites, modifies, and directs the passions of man, at her will. Not only his sports and pleasures, but, even his more serious pur- suits in life, are too' frequently under her direction. The history of every nation in the world, will furnish out innumerable instances, of her unbounded in- fluence, over the most important concerns of man, in religion, government, laws, morals, philosophy, and the arts. And her present despotic power, which she exercises over most articles in life, cannot better be described or explained, than by the single term, fashion. " Nor shall we wonder at the mighty influence of fancy, when we consider that, this facidty never ceases to act. When the intellect is weary of its labours, and and demands rest ; when the sensual appetites and pas- sions are sated, and dormant ; fancy still continues for ever on the wing ; for ever unwearied in her pursuits. Nay, in sleep itself, when every other faculty is locked up, she asserts her empire over the human mind, and frolics there at large, in all the wild luxuriance of dreams. " From this view of her nower, we may see that, though she may be an excellent aily to reason ; yet, if she does not acknowledge his superiority ; and is not content with a state of subordination to his orders ; she may either strengthen the animal part of man's nature ; or, set up an independent power of her own, superior to both. Let us consider her in these three lights. As b2 EXPOSITION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF SPEECH. an ally to reason, she partalics of the divine nature of the soul ; and has the whole store of intellectual ideas at eommand. She takes her flight with a bold wing through infinity, uncircumseribed by space or time ; reason, her chief and guide, all the while aiding and di- recting her course. In this employment, she adds plea- sure to the operations of the intellect, and adorns science, so as always to make it delightful. Thus, she produces a fund of pleasure far superior to those of the sensual kind ; and, of course, obtains an. ascendant over the animal faculties ; and draws them after her into a due subonUnation of the intellectual. Such were the effects produced by the cultivation of the nobler arts, in ancient Greece and Rome. " As an ally to the passions, I mean of the sensual kind, she is confined with them to crawl the earth. In this abject state she soon becomes a slave to the passions ; and her exertions in this employment, serve only to degrade men belovi- beasts. This depraved condition of man, has been largely set forth, in the history of the Epicurean sect, in that of the Sybarites, the Capuans, and modern Italy. It is to be feared, too, that examples of this sort, are not wanting in our own country. " Wlien she sets up for herself, and acknowledges no superior, her vigorous and wild sallies through unknown regions, without guide or director, are either vain and fruitless, as has been seen in the vast variety of systems in speculative philosophy, which have been produced in different ages and countries in the world, by the wild imaginations of men ; or else, they have been productive of the worst disorders in human affairs, when exerted about the practical duties of life, in religion, politics, and morals. Her efforts here serve only to pervert man from the great end of his being; to rob him of all his animal, as well as rational enjoyments, in order to substitute her own visionary ones in their room, and, often to change his nature, and incline him to that, which we are told belongs to spirits reprobate. Such, we know, have been the effects at all times, of extrava- gant enthusiasm, and wild superstition. " NVTien we look into the history of the world, we shall find that fancy has been but seldom employed in her most glorious sphere, that of assisting human nature in its progress towards perfection ; on the contrary, her chief office has been, to debase, or pervert mankind. The reason of which is, that this part of the human frame, has, in most nations of the world, been wholly neglected and left to chance. There has been care taken in many, even to excess, to improve the intellec- tual powers ; by which, numbers have spent their lives, fruitlessly, in abstract speculations ; and useless, often impenetrable metaphysics. Lawgivers and magistrates have endeavoured to restrain the passions most dan- gerous to society, within proper bounds, by penal laws. Moralists and philosophers have tried to prevail on men to do their duty, by showing them what it is ; while the imagination left to itself, unguided and unrestrained, laughs at their vain attempts ; and shows itself para- mount to all the dictates of reason, to all laws, cGvine and human." Judgment is the eighth power of the mind. It is the power of discerning, by the aid of all the preceding ones, the various relations which subsist between all the pro- positions advanced in the course of a discourse or argu- ment ; their agreement, or disagreement ; their truth, or falsehood, and their exact bearing on the subject of discourse ; and of deducing clear and consistent conclu- sions from the whole. These are the principal sources of all our ideas, and the principal powers by which they are regulated and governed ; but, INIr. Locke has enumerated others, . — as, composition, enlarging, naming, abstraction, &c. He thus defines composition, as a separate act : — " Com- position consists in putting together the ideas received from sensation and reflection, in order to form complex ideas, and also successions of propositions or sentences. " He should have said, complex, or general terms. " Enlarging is, putting ideas of the same kind to- gether ; as, for instance, putting together a number of units to make a dozen. It may be ranked under the head of composition ; but, the composition of ideas in enlarging is not so apparent as in simple composition ; because it docs not extend to such a number of ideas. " Naming is the act of making words the signs of our ideas, and is another faculty of the mind." Abstraction is another faculty of the mind, which consists in considering ideas as they are in the mind — as separate existences ; and, from the impossibility of giving every single idea a name peculiar to itself, arises the necessity of including several under one head, or name, from some common resemblance w hieh belongs to them all ; and so forming abstract ideas, as they are called, or complex general terms ; such as, being, crea- ture, animal, beast, reptile, man, woman, whiteness, blackness, &c. Thus we see, that, though the brain of man is ori- ginally without any ideas — any impressions of outward objects, and that, it gradually receives its first class of ideas, called ideas of perception, through the medium of the senses ; yet that, after the mind has been stored with a number of those ideas, it soon begins to exercise them in the various w'ays before mentioned, so as to ge- nerate within itself a new class of ideas, called ideas of reflection, and to advert in a variety of ways to their individual and collective influence on itself, and on the minds of others ; thus forming, by the help of words, as their signs, a language of ideas. From the premises thus laid down, the following con- •, elusions are drawn : — First, — that, so far as mere ideas are to be considered, by the mind is to be understood the whole body of ideas with which it is stored by the senses and by reflection, and by all their operations, and by whatever means, and in whatever way those operations are produced. Secondly, — that, oral language, as the type of ideas, is the result, partly of man's social affection, and partly of the powers which have been described. Thirdly, — that language is the principal medium and instrument by, and through which, all the nobler facul- ties of man are cultivated, and brought to perfection ; and that, those inquiries which have for their object to show how the speech of any nation, or any division thereof, may be naturally resolved into its first consti- tuent simple principles, and all its combined powers developed, must be considered, not only as interesting, but useful and liberal in a high degree.

Having thus endeavoured to enumerate and describe the principal powers of the brain, or mind, as employed in the formation of speech, I should now pass on to a dcvelopcment of the rules of grammar in general, or philosophical grammar, and more particularly to the ap- plication of those rules to the English language ; but such a developement forms no part of my present work, as not promised in my prospectus. I shall, therefore, merely make a few observations on orthoepy, the first division of the rules of grammar in general, and give an outline of the particular principles and rules by which the dictionary which I present to the public is distin- guished from every other pronouncing dictionary ; and refer the reader, for further and more particular in- formation as to the simple and compound sounds of the English language, and the true nature of our accent and emphasis, to the matter which precedes Mr. Sheridan's and Mr. Walker's dictionaries ; the whole of whose rules will precede this dictionary, and thus be laid be- fore the public in general, but more particularly teach- ers, in order to enable them to form a just estimate of the respective merits of these gentlemen. Of Oral Speech in General. All the rules of grammar are properly classed under five heads: — orthoepy, orthography, etymology, syntax, and prosody ; but, in all modern grammars, orthoepy is entirely omitted ; and, contrary to reason, the natural distinction between speech and writing, and the very derivation of the word orthography, from o(hi, orthos, right ; and y^a^a, grapho, to write ; it is very gravely said, that " Orthography treats of the sound of letters, syllables, and words, and the right manner of spelling words." Now, this is a manifest mistake, for, it is well known that' the ancients, who never made use of any term without applymg it to a specific use, made use of, and included under the term orthoepy, as its derivation EXPOSITION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF SPEECH. from itSt;, right, and trat, epos, a sound, imports, all the rules that are laid down for the pronunciation of letters, syllables, and words. Of the Organs which produce the Voice. The breath, or air from the lungs, is changed into the tlear, distinct, audible sound called voice, by strong ex- ertions of the lungs, and the whole cavity of the chest, throat, and mouth, and in particular made capable of answering the purposes of speech, by certain organs which lie at the top of the windpipe. The trachea, or windpipe, is that tube which conveys air into and from the lungs, and consists of cartilages, or gristles, so strong as to enable it to stand firm and unt-ompresscd. Tlie top of the windpipe consists of four cartilages, which altogether form what is called the larynx ; and the epiglottis forms a fifth cartilage belonging to the wind- The epiglottis is a broad triangular cartilage, very elastic, and like to an artichoke leaf. It has a powerful influence upon speech ; but, its peculiar oiBce is to de- fend the aperture or opening of the windpipe into the mouth ; which opening is called the glottis ; and to pre- vent anything from falling down into the windpipe by this passage. In this respect the epiglottis acts like a valve, standing directly over the glottis, and flaps down upon it, like the key of a wind instrument, the mo- tion of the tongue instinctively laying it flat over the glottis, so that it is a perfect guard upon the aperture of the trachea. The air, or mere breath from the lungs, is formed into voice by the movements of the larynx, and by the vibrating action of the membranes which line it, but, more particularly by two very fine semicircular mem- branes which are attached to the sides of the upper cartilages of the larynx. The space between these two membranes forms, and is called, the glottis ; and the action, the expansions, and contractions of these mem- branes, are performed with an accuracy and minuteness so exquisitely nice, that, for every change of note in singing, they are contracted, or expanded, in a propor- tioned degree, every contraction, or expansion, producing a difiierent note. The space, or distance between these membranes, is not greater than about the eighth of an inch ; and is, naturally, greater in men, than in boys and women ; in consequence of which, the voices of men are naturally deeper, or graver, than those of women and boys ; and the voices of women and boys higher, or more acute, than those of men. Touch or press forcibly with your finger the upper part of your windpipe, when you are drawing your breath backwards and forwards, or, when you are articulating any of the aspirated conso- nants, as es, esh, eth, ef, and you will not perceive the slightest movement of the upper part of the windpipe, because that, by an effort of your will, you do not make your breath act upon the larynx and glottis, and you are uttering breath only. Utter any of the vowels, as A in all, k in art, A in ace, by themselves, or any of the consonants, as els', ed', eg', and press forcibly the very upper part of your windpipe with vour finger whilst ut- tering those sounds, and you will perceive that your windpipe resists, swells out, and presses strongly against your finger, because that, by an unconscious, merely mechanical effort, you are making the mere air or •breath from your lungs act upon the larynx and glottis, which convert it into the clear sound cdled voice. SECTION IV. OF THE ORGANS OF SPEECH AND ARTICULATION. 1 . The voice being produced as we have described, and fitted for the purpose of articulation and speech, is formed into the first simple, or primary articulations, called, in all languages, vowels and consonants ; and into diphthongs, syllables, and words, by the peculiar organs called the organs of speech. 2. These organs are the uvula, the arched cavity of the mouth, the tongue, the palate, the lips, the teeth, the gums, and the nose, all of which are put in motion, or made to produce different contacts, and acted upon by the voice, in order to produce the different simple and compound sounds of spieech. 3. Of these organs there is only one which requires to be particularly described, and that is, the uvula ; which has a very powerful influence, not merely on articulation, but on the voice itself. The uvula is that round soft body, or tongue, which is suspended from the extreme back of the palate, or roof of the mouth, over the glottis, or opening of the windpipe. It is an extremely deli- cate and flexible organ ; of the existence, or situation of which, few persons, except surgeons and physicians, can be aware, unless they have happened to discover and remark it, on looking into the mouth of a person complaining of having a sore throat. When I held the office of head master of the English department in the Belfast Academical Institution, into which I was unanimously elected, and which I held from the opening of it, in 1814, till the government grant of £1500 a year was withdrawn in 1817, I had a young gentleman under my care as a boarder, whose whole speech was most disagreeably obscured by his having, as it appeared to me, a double uvula, in consequence of which he forced all his words through his nose. But, a surgeon, to whom I since mentioned the circumstance, assured me, that, what I considered as a double organ, was only a separation of the uvula, in the nature of a hare lip ; and that the parts could have been united by sewing them together, which perhaps might have re- movec? the difficulty that prevented me from totally reforming his speech. It is very remarkable that his parents were not aware of the circumstance, otherwise a surgeon would have remedied the natui-aJ irregularity of the organ. 4. The tongue is called the principal organ of speech ; because, it is either brought to a contact with some other organ, or, it is more or less raised, or depressed, con- tracted, or expanded, and placed in a particular position, in producing every sound. In short, it is very much like a wave of the sea, which is perpetually undulating. SECTION V. OF ARTICULATION IN LANGUAGE, AND PARTICULARtY OF tHE FUNDAMENTAL, OR PRIMARY ARTICULA- TIONS, OUT OF WHICH THE WORDS OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARE FORMED. 1. Articulation, in language, is the forming of the human voice, accompanied by the breath, in some few consonants, into the simple and compound sounds, called vowels, consonants, and diphthongs, by the assist- ance of the organs of speech ; and the uniting of those vowels, consonants, and diphthongs together, so as to form syllables and words, and constitute spoken language. 2. The definition, therefore, of a simple, articulate sound must, in all languages, be, that it is the sound of the human voice, formed by a mere opening of the mouth, without any contact of the organs of speech ; or, by an opening of the mouth, and a contact of two or more of the organs of speech, the tongue, the lips, the teeth, the gums, the palate, the roof of the mouth, and the nose. 3. The first, and most simple articulations, in all languages, are the former, which are formed by one impulse, or stroke of the voice, and one opening of the mouth, to give that impulse a form and passage, without any particular movement or contact of the organs, to intercept the voice. This species of articulation is, in all languages, called a vowel ; and in the English lan- guage it is so called from the French word voyelle, de- rived from the Latin word vocalis. 4. The definition of a Vowel, therefore, is, that it is a simple, that is, a single articulate sound, formed by one impulse, or stroke, of the voice, and one opening of the mouth in a particular manner, to give the voice a pas- sage and form, without any contact of the organs of speech. This will be plainly perceived, by sounding, by themselves, the following long vowels, as heard in the Words all, art, ace, eve, ore, do ; as 4, k, il, e, o, 6. The figures placed over the above vowels have refer- ence to the scale of the vowels which will presently, be exhibited. 5. The next articulations called simple, though, in fact, thev are really compound sounds, are the conso- nants, which arc formed by different contacts of the organs of speech ; but, as no contact of any of the organs can, by itself, produce an articulate sound, every EXPOSITION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF SPEECH. movement and contact must be assisted by an impulse, or stroke of the voice, wliich, by its action on the or- gans, gives them the power of producing a sound, which is called a consonant sound, at the same time that the impulse, or stroke of the voice, assumes the form of some particular vowel, at the will of the speaker, and according to the degree in which the mouth is opened, to give the two sounds thus united a passage ; as ab, ap, am, ad, at, al, ak, &c. or ba, pa, ma, da, ta, la, ka, making the vowel sound either precede or follow the contact of the organs. 2. The definition of a consonant, therefore, is, that it is a compound articulate sound, formed by the action of a vowel or diphthong on some of the organs of speech, when brought to a contact, which vowel, or diphthong, striking on the organs of speech as it passes through the mouth, gives them the power of producing a sound, which mixes itself with the vowel or diphthong sound, and is inseparable from it, and which is called a conso- nant, from the Latin word consonans, sounding with, or together, because it sounds, or is heard, in conjunction with the vowel or diphthong. 3. In uttering a consonant, therefore, we hear two sounds, but two sounds which cannot be divided into two separate articulations ; for, take away the vowel or diphthong from the whole sound produced by its action on the organs which are brought together to produce the consonant, and the consonant can no more have ex- istence than the wheel of a mill can have motion, if you remove the water or any other power which moves it. Thus, b, p, m, are formed by three different contacts of the same organs of speech, the lips, preceded or followed by some vowel sound, as ab, ap, am, or ba, pa, ma. But it is evident that, though the b, p, and m are produced by bringing the lips to a contact, the lips receive the power of producing these consonants from the action of the vowel upon them, as it passes between them, at the instant of their separation ; and that, if the lips were brought together a tliousand times, unassisted by a vocal sound acting on them, they would not produce those sounds. 4. Finally, with respect to a vowel and consonant sound, in every language it is to be observed, that, 1st, In uttering a vowel, the ear must hear only one simple sound, and that sound must consist of only one impulse or stroke of the voices passing through an open mouth, more or less, without any contact of th« organs of speech to intercept it. 2. That, whether the vowel be a full or a slender one, b. long or a short, depends, partly upon the impetus given to the voice, partly upon the manner in which, by an effort of our will, the voice is made to act upon the larynx and glottis, and partly upon the degree in which the mouth is opened to give it a passage ; by which it becomes more or less full, as it is made to ad- Vance along the palate, and strike on the extreme back part of it, or nearer towards the teeth. 3. In uttering a consonant, two united simultaneous sounds must be heard, the one that of a pure vowel or diphthong, preceding a contact of two or more of the organs of speech, or following it, in the instant of sepa- rating the organs ; the other that of a co-existing sound produced by the action of a vowel or diphthong upon two or more of the organs when brought to a contact, but inseparable from the vowel or diphthong, inasmuch as no contact of the organs can of itself produce a con- sonant, and to complete every consonant a separation of the organs is absolutely necessary, as the sound cannot be perfected as long as they are kept together. Concluding Observations on the Formation of the Vowels. In examining IMr. Sheridan's principles, it will be seen that he has, with considerable accuracy, described the mann(n- in which the vowel sounds are formed ; but, if any teacher, any critic, wishes to be more particular, lot him look into a child's mouth whilst he is repeating them deliberately, or place himself before a magnifying glass, and look into his own mouth, and I venture to assert that he will draw the follow ing conclusion as to the precise manner in which each of them is produced, proceeding from the sound of a, in all, to that repre- •ented by u, in but. a'U, a'rt, ^'cc, e've, 6're, t6', bet, bit, but. i i 4 ^ 6 6 ^h' ih' W Instead of t, I have placed an h after the three short vowels, which are, in their very nature, incapable of prolongation, to show that, in the attempt to utter them by themselves without a consonant following them, the aspiration h follows the vowel, and connects itself with it. In sounding k he will perceive that the mouth, that is, the jaws, are opened wider than in sounding a ; that the tongue is drawn back towards the opening of the glottis, leaving a considerable cavity, or space, between it and the roof of the mouth, or palate ; and that the impulse, or stroke of the voice, is directed against the back part of the palate, near the passage through which the voice issues : that in sounding a the tongue is much advanced towards the teeth, and raised up considerably towards the palate, leaving a less space between it and the tongue ; in consequence of which the stroke of the voice is less full, and more advanced along the palate. In sounding J, he will perceive that the tongue is swelled up, and raised towards the palate, and spread out on both sides ; by which means a small space is left between it and the palate, and the sound consequently becomes less full than the preceding two, and the stroke of the voice is more advanced towai'ds the teeth. In sounding e, he will find that the jaws are almost closed, so that he cannot see the back part of the tongue, whereas in sounding k and a he can see as far back as the uvula and the opening of the glottis ; that the tongue is swelled, or raised up, and thickened as it were, so as to block up considerably the space between it and the pa- ' late, and to direct the stroke of the voice nearer to the teeth, and render the sound of the voice still less full tl>an that of i. In sounding 6, he will perceive that he can see far back into the mouth ; that the point of the tongue is thickened, and turned down on the palate of the underjaw ; and that, along the tongue, which is drawn back, a groove is formed, by the swelling up of the tongue on each side, toward the middle, not far from the edges of it, over which the voice passes ; at the same time that the under lip is raised up and pushed out, and the upper corresponding with it, they conjointly form a groove corresponding with that formed by the tongue, the cavity within the mouth being so great as to render the sound a full one, notwithstanding that the mouth is so much closed by the pushing out of the lips. In sounding 6, he will find that the position of the tongue, and the groove in the middle of it, over which the voice passes, are exactly the same, but that the sides of both lips are brought closer together, and pointed, and pushed out more than in sounding 6, in consequence of which, in forming the sound, he cannot see so fully into his mouth as he can in sounding 6. In both he will perceive that the voice, which has passed along the groove formed by the tongue, acts strongly on the lips as it passes between them. In uttering the sounds ar- bitrarily marked by e, i, u, in et', it', ut', he will perceive that the sound represented by e in et, is produced by a movement of the larynx and glottis, which throws out a short and quick percussion of the voice upon the tongue and palate, which is directed towards the front of the mouth ; that the extremity of the tongue is pointed strongly down to the lower palate, or gums ; that it is considerably raised in the mouth, but not drawn back ; and that it rises towards the back part, so as to receive the impulse of the voice, and throw it for- ward, as I have said. In uttering the sound represented by i, in it, he will perceive that the position of the tongue is the same as in the former sound ; but that, the tongue raises itself more, and throw? the sound up to the roof of the mouth. In uttering the sound repre- sented by u, in ut, he will perceive that the end, or point of the tongue, is looser in the mouth than it was in the former sounds, and drawn a little fartlier back from the lower gums, though it rests upon the lower palate ; that it is drawn back so much as to leave a con- siderable space between it and the palate ; and that, by a strong movement, it raises the back part of it up, so as to throw the voice against the extreme back part and sides of the palate. I have dwelt the more particularly upon the nature of these three short sounds, because, neither iMr. Shcriuan, EXPOSITION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF SPEECH. nor any other ortlioepist, or grammarian, has, in the slightest degree, described them farther than as the three short sounds, which are " incapable of prolonga- tion." — See Mr. Sheridan's Principles of Pronun- ciation, SECTION VI.

SECTION VIL OF nlPHTHONGS AND THE DEFINITION. A diphthong, or compound vowel, as it is called, but which should rather be called a compound vocal articu- lation, is the union of two or more vowels in one arti- culation, or syllable, and is ]>roduced by pronouncing the one so instantaneously after the other, that the former flows into, or unites with the latter, so as to form a third compound articulation, or syllable, as iXi, in the word water ; ^h, in the word waxen ; \Vi, in wafer ; ^ (5, in the pronoun we, &c. &c. ; fh., in the word yawn ; yh, in yard ; ye, in year ; ed, in yoke, Sec. &c. Hero follows a list, or table, of all the diphthongs and triphthongs in our language, with the different vowel characters which mark their sounds ; of which diph- thong sounds no two are alike ; that is, though the vowel characters which represent them be similar or very different from each other, yet each diphthong differs from every other in the table, as not being, in the individual vowel sounds which are heard in its pro- imnciation, composed of the same two long vowel sounds. the same two short vowel sounds, the same long vowel sound followed by a short, or the same short vowel sound followed by a long vowel sound. The same diphthong is sometimes represented by two vowel cha- racters, sometimes by three, as in ye, year, yield ; womb, woo ; queen ; we, weep, weave ; ware, wear, &c. Table. There are twenty-five diphthongs, and three triph- thongs, represented mostly by the following vowel cha- racters, as running through the syllables of our lan- guage, and altogether amounting, in the repetition of them, to upwards of twenty thousand.

Sky, guise, disguise, catechise, guile, beguile, man- kind, and other words, contain the fine, full diphthong, or triphthong sound composed as in kind, already given, of the vowels 5, and the diphthong i — 4i. SECTION VIII. OBSERVATIONS ON ARTICULATION, WITH REFERENCE TO THE SIMFLE SOUNDS OF SPEECH. 1. My first observation is, that; as the definition of an articulate sound is, that it is t>ie sound of the human voice, formed by the organs of speech ; it may be ob- jected against those consonants which are formed en- tirely by the breath, as ef, es, eOi, esh, that they cannot be called articulate sounds. Now, this objection would be correct and conclusive, if it could be shown that, a consonant sound could be completed without the as- sistance of a vowel, and that the mere breath, acting upon any movement, or contact of the organs, would be sufficient to enable them to perfect the consonant for the purposes of speech ; but, if we observe the process of articulation, in forming any of the aspirated conso- nants, keeping our organs for a long time in the position of forming these hissing, serpent, or goose-like sounds, which we may do as long as we please, we shall find, that, though the consonant is in itself entirely sounded by the action of the mere breath upon the organs, whilst they are in contact, yet it cannot be completed into an EXPOSITION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF SPEECH. articulation, fit for the purposes of speech, until some vowel is made to precede, or follow, and unite itself with the contact of the organs, by its being thrown, as it were, upon them, in the very act of bringing them together, or made to follow, in the very act of sepa- rating them. 2. For instance, I shall take the aspirated consonant eth, as in theme, path, as sufficient to exemplify my ob- servations. Now, if I place riiy tongue between my teeth, and keep it in that position for a long time, making my breath only act upon these organs, without the previous utterance of any vowel on the instant of throwing them into that position ; or, if I withdraw my tongue, without an actual utterance of some vowel in doing so, I cannot complete the aspiration th, any more than a goose can ; but, if I make any vowel either precede or follow the contact, so as to unite with the aspiration, I then com- plete the aspiration, and it becomes a perfect consonant articulation — consonans, that is, sounding with the vowel, as when I say oth, aQi, eth, itfi, uth, oath, &c., or 'flii, thS., thi, tRe, tho, &c., &c., theme, path. 3. My second observation, which will exemplify in k very striking manner, the characteristic difference between a vowel and a consonant, is, that, though in making the breath act upon the organs, whilst in the position necessary to produce the aspirated semivowels, f, s, th, sh, an actual incipient, but incomplete degree of sound is heard, yet the case is not the same with respect to the mutes or the rest of the semivowels. On the contrary, the action of bringing and keeping the organs together, without the assistance of a vowel, produces absolute silence ; for, let any person place his organs in the positions necessary to produce b, p, m, n, 1, t, k, d, ng, &c., and keep them together for some time, without uttering, or letting his voice pass, to form a vowel sound, as persons do who stutter ; or, let him utter any vowel sound previously to bringing his organs together, and, instead of separating them to perfect, the Consonant, let him compress and keep them together, not separating the organs to form a vowel, and he will find that a total absence of articulation must be the tonsequence. 4. My third observation is, that, as, in forming the Vowels, there is a palpable movement of the mouth and tongue, though there is no actual contact of any of the or- gans, and, as four of the semivowels, es, ez, esh, ezh, are produced by movements and conta;cts of the tongue, which are not so palpable as those necessary to produce the other consonants ; it may be questioned whether there be any sensible and absolute difference between these four and the vowels. To this I answer, that these con- sonants are formed chiefly by the action of the breath on the organs whilst they are forming ; that they cannot be perfected without the distinct assistance of some vowel, preceding or following the action of the organs ; and that, in uttering them, we hear two sounds united ; whereas every person's ear and organs must be sensible of the fact, that, in uttering any of the vowels, he hears only one articulation ; that, in uttering a consonant, he hears two ; and that nothing can be more evident than this, that a Vbw'el has a positive existence without the aid of any consonant, but a consonant can have no ex- istence without the aid of a vowel. 5. My fourth and last observation is, that, as h is a very efficient, expressive, and powerful assistant in all languages, so much so that it cannot be dispensed with, and is to be found in a variety of combinations, it may be asked how it can with propriety be said, in all lan- guages, that it is not a letter ; and, as ef, es, etJi, and esh, are formed entirely by the breath, it may also be asked upon what ground they can be called articulate sounds. To these questions I answer, that, ^s the defi- nition of an articulate is, " the sound of the human voice, formed by the organs of speech," the character h being merely the mark of an aspiration, or breathing, without the least mixture of the voice, or contact of the organs, it cannot have any claim to be called an articu- late sound ; and that, with respect to ef, es, eth, and esh, though,, in forming them, the breath only, without any mixture of the voice, continues to act upon the organs as long as they are kept in the positions neces ■ *arv to produce Jhpse pounds, and no longer ; yet that, unless a vowel sound precede or follow the several con- tacts, the consonants cannot be completed. I have dwelt the longer on this part of my subject,- which has reference to the characteristic difference be- tween a vowel and a consonant in all languages, because it is evident that, the farther our writers on grammar have advanced in their cultivation of the language, in other respects, the greater and more palpable is the ig- norance which they have shown upon this point ; and because I consider that it would be the height of pre- sumption in me, to charge such a present authority a;* Mr. Walker, and every other modern orthoepist, except Dr. Louth and Mr. Sheridan, with ignorance upon a subject apparently so simple, were I not certain that I should be able to prove that the lines which 1 have; drawn are correct. OF THE PRINCIPAL IMPROVEMENTS IN THIS DICTIONARY. The principal improvements in this Dictionary are — 1st.

For the reason why a short vowel sound should precede each contact of the organs, I refer to Mr. Sheridan's " Principles," preceding this work : — eb', ed', ef , eg', ek', el', em', en', ep', er', es', et', ev', ez'j etli', eth', esh', ezh', ing', c, k or s ; q, k ; j, ej ; Xj eks, or egz ; ch, etsh ; h, an aspiration, eh, ha. 3d. Contrasted with these, Mr. Walker's head-linej which runs across every page of his dictionary — Mr. Sheridan gives no head-line — will follow it in the second and third pages only : — 559. Fite 73, far 77, fill 83, fkt 81— mi 93, met OS- pine 105, pin 107— n6 162, mSve 164, nflr 167, nit 163— tube 171, tub 172, bc'dl 173—811 229— pStind 313— tibin 466, this 469. In this line, the reader will perceive, by only pro- nouncing the words given as examples, that Mr. Walker gives the mere short quantity of the same individual vowel as a characteristically different vowel ; that he allows the language only four diphthongs as running through the whole body of our syllables, namely, i, in pine, 11, in tube, 8i, in oil, and 8u, in pound ; of which number Tiny ear, upon sounding the word oil, will in- stantly perceive that in this word, as in boy, coy, toy, both vowels are long, and that, though he has correctly marked the o, as representing the same full sc und as a, in fall, he proves the incapacity of his ear to distinguish with exactness the difference between one sound and another, as marked by different vocal characters, in dif- ferent words, or syllables ; for the other vowel, i, does not represent the absolutely short sound denoted by i, in pin, but the sound of e, in me ; the diphthong being truly ^e, 8i, as he should have marked it ; for it would be impossible to give the i the same sound in riil, bfiy, t8y, c8y, as that which it represents in pin. Suppose that, instead of pin, he had given the preposition in as his example of the sound which i represents in this word, and had placed the same figure of 2 over the i, to denote the peculiar sound which he intended to point out, surely no ear, after pronouncing pin and in, would acknowledge that it heard the sound of i, in mi, in either word ; or, suppose he had given the word cflin, as his example of the diplilhong, marking the i by the EXPOSITION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF SPEECH. 9 fiirnre of 2, to sif!;nify that it has the same sound as in ]>?n, surely any man whose ear was capable of distin- guishing one sound from another, would immediately j)erceive that, in order to preserve the short sound marked by 1, he must make two syllables of the word, and pronounce it cd-in ; or pronounce the word as one syllable, and give to the o the sound of i, in fall, and to the i the sound of i, in mi, cfiln, c81n, or as two, thus, ct'>i-ln. To this key line of vowel and diphthong sounds, he adds two words, fliin, this, which contain the two Saxon consonant sounds, arbitrarily marked by th, by our first grammarians, just as if there were a peculiar necessity for adding these two only, and not the other three, sh, zh, ng, esh, ezh, ing, which are not to be found in the Latin language, and consequently to represent which no consonant characters are to be found in the Roman al- phabet, as adopted by our first grammarians, in the place of the Saxon, to represent our simple sounds. Now the reader will perceive that these five single con- sonant sounds, as Mr. Sheridan has shown, are each produced by one single contact of the organs which pro- duce them, as simple as those which produce b, p, m ; and the reason why they are marked by two letters is, that, as the Romans had no such consonant sounds, there were consequently no characters in the Roman alphabet to mark them ; and our grammarians, instead of forming five distinct characters to represent them, fell upon the expedient of marking only three of them by two letters, etR, the Greek i Iheta, by joining t and h together ; esh, by joining an s to h, sh ; and ing, by add- ing an n to g, ng ; leaving eth and ezh, as in then, azure, ozier, to shift for themselves, the former to be also re- presented by th, and the latter sometimes by z, some- times by s, as in the words just given, azure, osier. 4th. IMy key line of the vowels contains the exact number of vowel sounds of the English language, of which no two are characteristically the same. They are given to the number of nine — See Mr. Sheridan's "Principles ;" — each, in its order, in a kind of articulate scale, as issuing from the larynx and glottis, and, from them, striking on, and proceeding along the palate, or roof of the mouth, from the hollow or back part of the mouth, in sounding k in all, the fullest vocal sound in any language, to the front, near the teeth, in sounding <% in eve, the slenderest vocal articulate sound in any language, and terminating in the pushing out of the lips in o, in the word no, to 6, in the word to, the last of the first six of the line, which may be called long, or doubtful vowels, in point of quantity ; because that, compared with the last three, marked by e, i, u, in bet, bit, biit, their quantity, when accented, is long, when unaccented, short ; whereas e, i, u, are incapable of being sounded by themselves without an aspiration fol- lowing them in the attempt to do so, as when we say, eh', ih', uh' ; and are therefore absolutely short, and require a consonant accented to follow them, as in bet', bit , but' ; der', dir', dur', though all consonant accented svllables, as esh', ish', ush', ; eng', ing', ung' ; and, therefore, have no comparative quantity. 4th. That the three duplicates, or short sounds, i, in was', S, in at', and 8, in good', are never distinguished in the dictionary by the mark of short quantity placed over them, as I have shown them in the key line, because that, as they are never heard except when they precede a consonant, as in the words just given, with the accent upon that consonant, it is impossible to mistake their quantity ; and they must be snort, as it would be im- possible to distinguish the consonant by an accent, or smart stroke of the voice, without passing quickly over the vowel or diphthong which precedes it in the same syllable, and reducing the vowel or diphthong to a short quantity. Accordingly, it will be perceived, that the sound a, which is accented, and therefore pronounced fully, and dwelt on, in all ; or, capable of being dwelt on, is reduced to a short quantity in ^^■as', because the consonant, s, is accented ; and the two vovvels forming a diphthong are rapidly passed over, in order to accent the consonant. The 6, in on', is also the same charac- teristic sound as i, in all, dificring only in quantity, in consequence of the accent being on the n : the i, in at', differs only in quantity from the h, in a'rt ; the sound of 6, in g6od', and of li, in bul'l, and bftsh', differ only in quantity, not sound, from 6, in tft', d&', or prAve, by the accent being on the consonant in the former — 'On the vowel in the latter. These duplicates, therefore, throughout the dictionary, are always marked by the figures that are placed over their correlative long sounds, the consonant which follows them showing that they are sounded short. Another reason for not always placing the mark of long or short quantity over the long or short vowels, in addition to the figures, is, that the type would take up too much space, and make the lines appear very unsightly. 7th. The vowel sound 6, in n8', g6' ; the vowel sound S., in K'ce, pa'ce ; and the vowel sound ^, in ^ve, h6're, &c., whether accented and prolonged, or not, are always the same, and can scarcely be said to have a short quan- tity ; so that three of the long vowels, i, a, 8, as in ill, &'rt, M, have a short quantity in vlAs', kt', gSod' : the other three, k, 5, 6, have not a short quantity. 8th. That the sound of the letter w, in every syllable and word in which it appears in the writing of words, whether in the beginning, middle, or ending, represent- ing exactly the same sound as that of 8, in t8', whether it be sounded long or short, will always be represented by the vowel 6, being always a vowel. 9th. That the letter u, in diphthongs, representing exactly the same sound as w, in wit, will, like w, be re- presented by 6 ; for, take the words wit', wick', quit', quick', and remove the q from the latter two, and you will instantly perceive that the w, the u, and the vowel o, in to, represent exactly the same sound in the diph- thongs wi and ui, as wit', wick', uit', uick', 8it', 8ik'. The u, therefore, Uke w, when used in forming diph- thongs, will be represented by 8. 10th. That as the letter y always represents the sound ^, or i ; e in the beginning of every word, ye', yo'u, yet', young', 6c, 66, eet', eflng' ; and frequently in the ending, as in lovely, Iflv'-le ; when so sounded, its sound will be invariably represented by the figured over the y ; and when it is sounded i, as in try, by the letter i and a dot placed over it, as tri. Ilth. When the letters i and u, as named in the al- phabet, are so sounded, as diphthongs, but not accented, as in contrite, destitute, and in all syllables in which they precede e not sounded, I distinguish the sounds thus, dcs'-te-tu't, kin-tri't, with the accentual mark ; the e in trite, as in all words of one syllable ending in e, as in late, mate, rate, grate, rite, prate, and tute, being left out, as not sounded, the vowels in such ter- minating syllables being long, as a't, e't, i't, o't, u't; and also to distinguish more strikingly the diphthong sound of the i and u, in such syllables, from the corre- lative, short, simple vowel sounds, of which these letters are often the marks, as in bit, biit. And, whenever the i and u are accented, I merely place the accentual mark over them, as in di'ce, du'ce, di's, du's. But in all syl- lables in which i and u retain their fuU sounds, unac- cented, I do not place any mark over them, as thus, r^f'-lu-ent, kt-kg-u-lkt', rek'-te-fi-^r, r^k'-u-zant, ^d'-e-fi. 12th. TTiat, as the letters o, in on', and a, in was', both represent the short quantity of iV, in all, I am not particular in marking these short sounds in diphthongs by k otdy, or by 6 ; but sometimes by one, sometimes by the other, as in was', 86z', watch, bktah, quantity, qua- lity, k68n'-tit-e, k8il'-it-e. 13th. That, when a diphthong occurs in a syllable, the diphthong, and not the following consonant, is often the accented sound, as in foul, oil, boi'l, bou'nd ; fi8'l, iel, bael, b48'nd ; and I mark the diphthong by placing the accent after the latter vowel, as iel. But, when the following consonant, and not the diphthong, is ac- cented, as in was', watch', 8i\z', 6Atsh', I mark the con- sonant ; both the vowels, and the whole syllable, or word, being short. I here repeat what I have already laid down, that three of the six vowel sounds, k, k, 6, have a short quantity, when the accent is upon a following consonant, as in Ms', nit', ki', g8od', pfiH, bfill ; the vowel character o, throughout the language, and not the character k, as in was, almost invariably represent- ing the short quantity of i, as bol', p61', f61', dftV, &c., to z and ng, in 16ng', and the vowel character u sometime* I representing the short quantity of 8. But 1 defy any, ' the nicest ear, to prove that the other three long vite, the first vowel is long, and the latter, or last, not sounded, according to my general rule, I omit the terminating c, and place the accentual mark after the preceding vowel, thus, ba't, hil't, dd't, md't, ii't, ri't, no't, instead of bate, hate, date, mate, rate, rite, note ; the accentual mark placed after the vowel, in any part of a word, pre- venting the syllable from being confounded with bat , hat', dat', mat , rat', rit', not', &c. Here I may observe, that all unaccented syllables are not short, for some, as in the last syllable in con^trit', des-ti-tut', are longer than the accented syllables, con' and des'. Though Mr. Walker does not give ee and double oo in his key-line, as marks of diphthong sounds, he, in every syllable in the language in which they occur, marks them as such : thus, #i, AA, tshWr, tshdSze, though, in every syllable of the kind, no ear but his could perceive more than one i, one ft. 6. I have already stated that Mr. Sheridan's dic- tionary was first published in 1780, and that he died in 1788. His dictionary, as well as Mr. Walker's, pub- lished in 17f>l, exactly three years after, exhibits to the eye thousands of errors and corruptions in the pronun- ciation and division of words into syllables ; and both present, perhaps, a million of letters, for which the ear does not hear a single sound. But, I challenge any critic to point out a single error, in I'.is dcvelopemcnt of the exact number, nature, and properties of the simple and compound elementary sounds of the English lan- guage, as exemplified in his " Art of Reading Prose," and in the rules which precede his dictionary. Further, as I am indebted to his very early instructions for every jot of accuracy upon this subject, every source of in- formation, every thing but the adventitious possession of a good ear, I should consider it a duty which I owe to his memory— to the memory of a good man, and an evangelical Christian, in practice as well as belief^ — to call my dictionary " Sheridan's Corrected," were I not aware that my doing so would not remove the im- pression which, for forty-four years, has rested almost universally on the public mind, that IMr. Walker's dic- tionary contained a pure standard of English pro- nunciation.

By the same analogy of pronunciation, as when the accent is on the letter d in words of one syllable, or in syllables in which e ends the syllable ; and in words of more than one syllable, the letter 6, as in e've, is always pronounced e, as in re're, ce're, me're, the'me, sche'me, adhe're, cohere, de'ity, be'ing, ge'nius. In short, when- ever the accent is upon the letter c, according to the Saxon, or English practice of pronouncing the syllables, and words containing the letter, it is generally sounded e, as a, in similar situations, is sounded d ; and, from whatever cause it originated, that, our ancestors came to pronounce them so, in the situations which have been mentioned, instead of pronouncing the one 3., as in father, or d, as in all, and the other e as in eve, and not d as in there, pronounced thdre ; there can be little doubt, that, the general recurrence of the sounds A, in dee, and (■, in eve, was the reason, why, in naming them in the alphabet, and, in spelling, they pronounced them il and 5. It is a trifle ; but, a trifle necessary to notice, that, in the words which Mr. Walker gives, as proofs of his observations on the diflferent sounds i, a, i, which A re- presents, he unwittingly furnishes two striking proofs of the inaccuracy ol his ear, both as to the sound of letters, and the division of words into syllables ; for, look at his proof of the Irish manner of pronouncing d, and, it will be perceived that he marks it by adding the mark of aspiration to the vowel a, thus, ah, as if he could not have represented it, as a vowel, by the d alone with his figure of 2 over it, to denote its sound as in fdr, in his key line ; for, the fact is, that the Irish do not add an aspiration to the vowel in pronouncing the words, parent, papal, taper, fatal, as he has marked them thus, pah-rent, pah-pal, tah-per, fah-tai ; and again in Ah-mer-i-cah ; and though the fact must be admitted, that, the mass of the poorer orders of Irish- men, pronounce parent, fatal, papal, with the sound of d in drt, I do not think that, any person has ever heard the most ignorant of them pronounce the word taper as either tiih-per, or ta-per. The cause perhaps is, that, having little use for tapers, the word has not yet been introduced among them, the light of a turf fire, or of a rush dipped in grease, generally serving tlicra instead of the luxury of candles, or tapers. The word master, which he gives as an excep- tion to the rule, that the sound of d is heard, except in two or three instances, when it ends a syllable with the accent upon it, he divides thus, ma-ster. Now I would appeal to the ear, even of a child, to say, whether the word master properly pronounced, is, or is not, thus divided md's-ter, even by the most negligent speakers, whether English, Irish, or Scotch ; and I can, from the most accurate observation, say that, however vulgarly, or, disagreeably, in point of intonation, and accent, some of the Irish, or Scotch, may pronounce their words, they less change or omit the sounds of the vowels (I speak of well-educated ladies and gentlemen), and pronounce their words more distinctly, without adding, or leaving out, or changing, the sounds of consonants, than numbers of the provincial English ; and those who may be properly (railed cockneys in London. I here leave Mr. Walker, and his note, to the judgment of the reader ; and proceed to make an observation, or two, upon what I find in Mr. Todd's .Johnson's Dictionary, on the sounds of the letter A ; to which I refer the reader. The dictionary says, " A, has, in the English lan- guage, regularly only two sounds, peculiar to itself ; a short, and a long one ; all other sounds being irregular ; and those are various, according to its combination with other letters. The broad sound resembling tliat of the (lerman a, is found in many of our monosyllables, as all, wall, malt, salt, in which a is pronounced as au in cause, or aw in law. A open, not unlike the a of the Italians, is found, Dr. Johnson says, in father, rather, and more obscurely in fancy, fast, &c. This pronun- ciation is indeed found in rath, but not in its derivative rather, the a of which is usually uttered as in fancy. " To this representation of the sounds of the letter a, so far, my observations are, 1st, that Mr. Todd leaves his reader to guess that, the " regular two sounds" are, d, in a'rt, and a in at', the only difference between which is, that the accent on the a in d'rt marks the quantity of the sound as long ; whereas, being on the consonant in at/, it marks it as short ; the act of carrying the impetus of the voice to the consonant, reducing the vowel to a short quantity. Proceeding in his observation on the sounds of the letters, he quotes the opinion of Dr. Johnson, instead of pointing them out himself; and exemplifying them by the accuracy of his own ear. Now the sound a, is found both in father, and rather, if the accent be laid on the a, sounded d, and not d, as some persons sound it, rd'ther ; and, if the word be divided as rdth-er, laying the accent on the consonant th', the sound is still the same, only reduced to a short quantity. The sound is also long, in fa'st, but short in fan'cy ; and, unless the difference in quantity constitutes obscurity, there is no more obscurity in the d in fan'cy, than in fd'ther ; and, there cannot be any in fa'st, simply, because, the vowel is as long, and as full, in this word, as in fd'ther ; and the same difference of quantity is observable in rd'th, and rdth'er, and fan'cy, the sound being the same, but, the difference in the pronunciation lying in the quan- tity ; so that, Mr. Todd's implied refutation of the cor- rectness of Dr. Johnson's examples, of the sound of a, in the four words, fd'ther, rdth'er, fdn'cy, fd'st, is not correct ; and, only proves that, his ear was not correct, any more than Dr. Johnson's ; nor more capable of finding out what it was that constituted, what they term obscurity, in the very same characteristic sound, in different words. Of this he gives demonstrative proofs in saying, " A, is also, in some words transient, and unobserved, as in the last syllables of carriage, and marriage;" (he should have said the last s}- liable, for, he refers to the last syllable in each ; and not to any other) " in others, less faintly sounded, as in those of captain and chaplain, and, in some obscurely uttered, as in collar, jocular." To this, the counter observations are, the a in age, the last syllable in both words, may have been transient to, the writer's eye, but, could not have been unobserved by it, if he looked at the words ; but, with respect to the sound of the letter, that conld neither be transient, nor unobserved, for this plain rea- son, that, the ear perceives no such sound in the usual pronunciation of the words, which I here exhibit, re- ferring to both eye, and ear, according to the usual di- vision of them into syllables, car-riage, mar-riage, or, as I might divide them nearer to the pronunciation, carr-iage, marr-iage ; or, still more exactly, and in fact correctly, according to my method, throughout the fol- lowing dictionary, that, of not exhibiting any letter to the eye, for which the sound is not heard in the actual pronunciation of every syllable, and word ; kdr-5j, mdr- ij ; the demonstrative fact being, that, m, a, r, with the accent on the r', are the only sounds heard in the first syllable ; !, j, the only sounds heard in the latter, mdr-tj ; the same in the pronunciation of carriage, kdr^ij, k, d. r', !, j, the three simple sounds heard in the first syllable ; the short sound i, represented by i, and the compound sound dzh, represented by j, the only sounds heard in the latter syllable ; as also in the latter syllable of the for- mer — " less faintly sounded, ( say s he, ) as in captain, chap - lain — obscurely uttered in some, as in collar, jocular." 15 Here is a discovory indeed ! nay, here are two dis- coveries ; the one, of ii less faintly sounded in the words captain and chaplain, than in marriage and carriage ; and the other, of the same sound I, obscurely uttered, as in collar, and cellar. Obscurely and faintly enough in all reason may the sound be said to strike upon the imagination, not the ear, in the pronunciation of the four words, for, though the latter syllable in captain, chaplain, collar, and the last in jocular, contains the letter i, it contains it, as a sleeping partner, in the form of the whole word. It does not contain the sound i, or 3, for which it may have been intended to stand in the pronunciation of the syllables ; but, in place of either k, or ;i, the short sound almost always represented by i, is substituted in its place, in the actual pronunciation of captain, and chaplain, which is this, tshap-lin, kap-tfn ; and in cellar, jocular, the short sound represented by e is substituted, the syllable being pronounced er, k61-^r, sel-er, only one 1, also, being sounded in each. If in- deed the syllables be pedantically divided, and pro- nounced thus, tship-lS.'n, kip-ti'n, k61-lar', sel-Mr', then indeed the sound i would be heard, in the former two words, instead of the sound 5,, which is never heard in the pronunciation of the most pedantic stickler for sounding every letter that appears in a word ; and, the sound k, would be heard in pronouncing sel-lar, k61-lar ; but, this constrained pronunciation is not the accus- tomed one, either in familiar discourse, or, in public speaking ; and, the man who would attempt to intro- duce it would be justly ridiculed as an unpleasant speaker, and a pedant. The author of " Virginius, whose imagination was corrected by sound juilgment, with equal beauty, and accuracy of thought, makes Virginius, in his delirium, in calling for his daugnter, whom he had killed, to save her from falling into the hands of Appius Claudius, recollect the softness, and sweetness, of her voice, and, imagining he hears the sound of her voice, say, " Is it a voice, or nothing answers me ? I hear a sound so fine — there's nothing lives 'Twixt it and silence. Such a slender one I've heard, when I have talk'd with her in fancy ! A phantom sound !'' Now Virginius's reasoning in his delirium of mind is perfectly natural and consistent with the unbidden train of ideas, which madmen, or jjersons, whose imaginations are disordered, in fever, or sleep, spontaneously pour forth from some master thoughts which suddenly rise up and dart across the mind ; as every body knows who has taken a particular interest, in such a person ; and the truth, delicacy, and beauty of the recollection, rest upon the expression — " I hear a sound so fine — there's nothing lives 'Twixt it and silence" — which sound may actually exist, as proceeding from the rustling of trees, or the water of a rivulet at a distance ; and not merely as, " A phantom sound," as Virginius's imagination unconsciously speaks of it. But, here is a gentleman, for I know not whe- ther, in the dictionary which lies before me, I am speaking of Mr. Todd, or Mr. Chalmers, in full pos- session of his reasoning faculties, and the sense of hear- ing, and who, having just set his foot upon the first stop of the temple of literary knowledge, undertakes, by the sense of seeing, to prove to those who are about to enter it with him, that certain words, which are in- scribed on its portal, contain, in their last syllable, a certain vovvel character, which usually represents three different sounds ; and that, one of those sounds, which he names, is heard in the pronunciation of those sylla- bles ; when, in fact, that sound is not heard in the usual pronunciation of any one of them. A, or an, is used, and so pronounced as the singular article, and placed before nouns signifying only one of a kind, or sort ; or, a whole class, or species of persons, places, or things ; and when it precedes a noun singly, or, as words are arranged in sentences, it is governed, in its use, both in speech and writing, by the first sound that is heard in the word that follows it ; and is pronounced and written simply t, or has the letter n added to it, as a man, a horse, an hostler, an egg, an ear, an eye, an hour, an honest man, a woman, a year, a history, an honourable woman ; an amiable woman ; a captain ; a year, an abundant year, a very prosperous year. From these examples it will appear that, in point of sound, both in speaking, and writing, it is governed by the sound of the first letter that appears, or rather sound that is heard, in the word which immediately follows it in a phrase, or sentence ; that is, if the sound be a vowel, except the vowels y, w, and the full diphthong sound of u, it is pronounced and written an ; so that, when any word intervenes between it and the noun with which it is grammatically connected, it is invaria- bly governed by the first sound in that word. If the word begin with a vowel sound, except y and w, it is written an. If it begin with a consonant, it is written a. If it begin with h, not sounded, it is written an. If it begin with h sounded, it is written a, unless the accent be on the second syllable. Examples : an awl ; an arm ; an ace ; an ear ; an ore ; an ankle ; an egg ; an eye ; an inkhorn ; an uncle. A boy ; a day ; a fire ; a girl ; a kite ; a lute ; a man ; a nail ; a pear ; a queen ; a rose ; a slave ; a task ; a view ; a wave ; a year ; a zone. A sharp awl ; a strong arm ; a lucky ace ; a nice ear ; a rich ore ; a small ankle ; a fresh egg ; a glass inkstand ; a kind uncle. An idle boy ; an inclement day ; an alarming fire ; an industrious girl ; an ugly kite ; an agreeable lute ; an unostentatious man ; an iron nail ; an early pear ; an amiable queen ; an odoriferous rose ; an in- carcerated slave ; an unconscionable task ; an agreeable view ; an overwhelming wave ; an unfortunate year ; an unhealthy zone. A horse ; a huntsman ; a history. Finally ; if the h be sounded, and the accent is on the second syllable, the article an should be used, as an historian, an historical writer. Before words beginning with the diphthong sound of i, ou, oi, oy, it is written and pronounced an ; as, an ice-house ; an ounce ; an oil-bottle ; an oyster. Before the diphthongs begin- ning with w, that is, 6 as in d8, it is written and pro- nounced a ; as, a watch ; a wasp ; a wan cheek ; a wave ; a week ; a wove handkerchief ; a diseased womb ; a wet day ; a witty saying. Ifefore the diph- thongs beginning with y, that is, e ; it is also written and pronounced a ; as, a year ; a yawl ; a yard ; a yare feat ; a yoke ; a young lady ; a youth. It may be asked, why do not the words which begin with y and w, and the full sound of u, admit the article an, to be used before them, as well as before words commencing with the sounds of any of the other vowels, or, rather, the marks for vowels ? To this the answer is, because, these sounds e, and 6, y, v(', unite with the vowels which follow them, and form part of a diphthong sound, in every word or syllable which they commence ; and there would be some difficulty in first moving the organs of speech, from the contact of the flattened part of the end of the tongue, to the termination of the pa- late, above the upper gums, in sounding n, and then bringing them to the positions, and movements neces- sary to produce the united vowels in such words, as every person will perceive, who vv-ill take the trouble to say an word, an year, an useful thirg, the letter u in the word useful representing a diphthong composed of the sounds e and o, eft, u. For a contrary reason the diphthongs beginning with i in ill, as ie, the sounds which produce i, and 4ft, and ie, as in 6imce, 6'^ltl, ftil, i'ce, do not admit the article a, to be sounded before them, but the article an ; because, the action of the voice, and its movement in sounding ic and k!!>, passes with perfect ease from the hollow of the mouth where it commences, to the front of it, where it terminates ; and follows the sound of n, so smoothly, that the arti- cle an, and whatever word, or svllable possesses those diphthongs, commencing with a, and ending with 6, or 8, act with a perfect euphony ; as, an ounce, an owl, an ice, an idle boy, an oil-skin cap, an oyster. By mistake, I suppose, Chalmers's abridged edition of Todd's .lohnson, gives the word habitual in the phrase " an habitual practice," as an example in which an is placed before a silent h. Now, every person must per- ceive that, in general, the h is sounded, in the word ha- bitual, the proper pronunciation of which is h^-bit-u-S,l ; and I say that it is an easier articulation to say, an ha- bitual, than a habitual.

As the French eu is formed by almost closing the points of the lips, and is not so open as our 6 in do, and is formed by a movement or action of the voice upon the lips, which produces a very peculiar rough sound, as if formed by the breath ; but is, in fact, a pure vowel, and pro- duced without any the slightest actual contact of the lips, it is impossible to represent its exact sound by C H A c n E 123 4 SC7S» 1613 6 8641 all, a'rt, a'ce, e've, nc/, to', bet', bit', but' — on', was', at' — ^good' — w, a — y, e, or i — i, u. either d or 6. The nearest approach that can be made to its sound is, to push the lips out to a point, and sound d6, and running the i rapidly into 6. But, after all, as we have no such sound, and I cannot speak by letters, the best way of all, as Yorick would say, will be, for an Englishman, Scotsman, or Irish- man, to get the assistance of a Frenchman, or rather, a French lady, to assist him to master the sound ; for, he must have a very obtuse ear indeed that a French lady's tongue would not penetrate. Once for all, I have to observe, that, to a number of French words, and very sweet and expressive ones, that we have in- troduced into our language, I have endeavoured, as nearly as I can, to attach the French pronunciation.

The terra Facsimile, according to its derivation, from fucio, to make, and similis, like, signifies an exact copy. Now, as the letters of the English Alphabet are the marks, or characters, used in writing and printing, to represent all the simple and compound sounds of the English language, it necessarily follows that if, for every letter presented to the eye, in the whole body of the syllables of about seventy-seven thousand words, which the Dictionary will contain, a sound, simple or compound, is heard by the car in the pronunciation of those syllables, then I trust it may be conceded to me, that I am warranted in calling my Dictionary a facsimile representation to the eye of all the sounds heard by the ear, in the pronunciation of those words. But, I go deeper into the subject See from page 4 to page 11 of my " Exposition of the Principles of Speech." I take speech from its very foundation ; I point out the process by which the obscure breath from the lungs, as it passes through the upper part of the windpipe into the mouth, is changed in its passage by the larynx and glottis, into the clear, distinct sound, called voice ; and fitted for the production of all the modifications of articulated speech. I give a correct definition of the three fundamental articulations of speech, a vowel, a consonant, and a diphthong : of the first, as an absolutely simple sound ; of the latter two, as compound sounds ; the diphthong separable into two distinct vowels ; the consonant, as its name imports, from consonans, sounding with, as inseparable from its associated vowel. I have pointed out the nine vocal sounds of the English language, as heard in the words ill, cVrt, d'ce, ^'ve, d're, t6', bet', bSt', bfit', of which each is characteristically different from the other eight, no one of them being a duplicate of another, as being the sound of the same individual vowel, only shortened by the accent's falling on a following consonant. I have given a key-line of words containing those vowel sounds, which runs across the top of every page. I have shown in that line all the vowel characters in our alphabet : viz. a, e, i, o, u, y, w. I have shown that three of the vowel sounds, which are long when the accent falls upon them, -k', in i'll ; a', in k'rt ; I in n6' ; have no distinguishing short quantity. That the three short vowel sounds in bet', bit', bfit', arbitrarily denoted by our first grammarians by e, ' i, and u, to the sounds of which letters, they bear no affinity, are invariably short ; never end a syllable in our language, and cannot be sounded alone, or without an aspiration following them, when we attempt to utter them by themselves, as ^'h', !h', fih' ; or, being followed by a consonant, as it, it, fit ; and that, by the inveteracy of custom, they sometimes usurp each others sounds, as hflr, for her ; stir, for sir. I have shown that, in every word in the language in which w appears, in the beginning, the middle, or the end, if it represents a sound, that sound is invariably the sound 6 as in t& ; and that, as in the Table of Diphthongs, in page 7, it forms a diphthong with everyone of the nine vowels. I have shown that y, which, hke w, in its name bears no affinity to its sounds, invariably represents the sound of e, as in ^^, lovel;^ ; or that, of i, as in by, try, my ; and that, as in the Table of the Diphthongs, it forms a diphthong with every one of the nine vowels. I have shown that i, pronounced according to its name in the alphabet, is a diphthong, formed by running the vowel A, the fullest of our vowels, rapidly into the sound e, the slenderest ; and not the sound a into e, which would produce only a poor sounding diphthong, often heard in the pronunciation of the lower orders in Scotland and the north of Ireland. I have shown that u, pronounced according to its name in the alphabet, is formed by running the sound of i into that of 8. I have accordingly completed my key line, in vowel letters, and sounds, by adding these two, which, when accented, I merely mark by an accent, as in i-d61, u-ne-firm ; and, when unaccented, leave without any mark, as in di-im-e-ter, rev-en-u. To prove that my key line must be correct, I describe, in page 6, the exact manner in which the voice issues in producing every vowel ; the part of the palate upon which it strikes ; and, the undulations of the tongue ; and, its exact position in producing it ; and I have corrected an oversight of IMr. Sheridan, in not describing the manner in which the three absolutely short vowel sounds heard in bet, bit, but, are produced ; he having only said, " As to these three short vowels, which never finish a syllable in our language, and are incapable of prolongation, it will be only necessary that children should be taught to give them their due sounds, by repeating syllables which contain them, as bet, bit, but," thereby leaving the reader to suppose an impossibilty, that he hears the actual short sounds of the letters, according to their names, e, i, u. I have given at the foot of the first page of the Dictionary all the consonant sounds of the language, with the duplicates and compound sounds. I have exhibited in page 7, a table, or scheme, of the whole alphabet, as to all the letters, vowels, and consonants, divided into their various classes, according to the sounds which they represent, whether simple or compound ; and a table of all the diphthong sounds of the language, of which no two are alike, amounting to twenty-eight, and four triphthongs, running through the body of our syllables, to the amount of twenty thousand; — a richness, in which, probably, the English exceeds all other languages. I have given at the bottom of the second and third pages only, Mr. Walker's key-line, in order that the reader should be able in a moment to compare it with mine Now, if the severest critic will take the trouble to examine by his eye, my key-line, and, having done so, shall be able to prove that, I have not presented to his view, all the vowel characters of the English alphabet ; or, shall discover that the vowel sounds presented to his ear, are not to be perceived, in the words given as examples, containing them, then. Twill acknowledge that my key-line is incorrect ; and that, I have undertaken to execute a work to which am not competent. I close this explanation by returning my grateful thanks to my subscribers, and to the gentlemen, editors of the public press, who, though, as I conceive, they have, as yet, only taken a bird's eye view of the First and Second Parts, have, notwithstanding, done me infinitely more than justice in the liberal terms in which they have presented it to the public. In order to render my work complete, I shall annex to it, what I did not promise in my Prospectus, a Vocabulary of the Classical Pronunciation of Greek, Latin, and Scripture Proper Names.
