PREFACE.
TtTR. SHERIDAN and Mr. WALKER axe the only authors who have produced Pronouncing
Dictionaries, previous to the present, which could be at all deemed complete ; they
having done what all preceding Orthoepists omitted, namely, divided the words of tho
English language into syllables, and placed figures over the vowel characters, to distinguish the
different sounds which they represent. ,
The present Dictionary contains Fifty-five thousand more words than either Mr. Sheridan's
or Mr. Walker's, (in all upwards of ninety thousand) ; and by an improved system of notation,
every letter represents a sound actually heard in Pronunciation, so that by merely committing
a few rules to memory, even foreigners may acquire a perfect mastery in this department of
our language. In addition to these Ninety thousand words I have given nearly twelve
thousand Greek, Latin, and Scripture Proper names, divided into syllables, with the sounds of
the vowels, and the accents properly marked, making altogether above One Hundred
Thousand Words — ^the largest number hitherto comprised in any similar volume.
I shall not say more of my own labours, or criticise those of my predecessors, but I
consider it incumbent on me to state the circumstances which led to the publication of
Mr. Walker's Dictionary ; more especially as they are but little known.
Mr. Sheridan commenced his Dictionary in 1760 ; but did not publish it till 1780. He
died at Margate, in Kent, in 1788, on his way to Lisbon for the recovery of his health,
attended by his younger son, the late R. B. Sheridan, leaving his Dictionary in the hands of
his younger daughter, and his Booksellers, and Publishers, Dilly in the Poultry, Dodsley in
Pall Mall, and Wilkie in St. Paul's Church Yard, between whom differences arising, which
could not be accommodated, the publication of the Dictionary was discontinued.
Mr. Walker was at that time a Teacher of Elocution in the Academies in and near
ondon ; and was encouraged by the Booksellers, whose names appear to the first edition of
!;lii8 Dictionary, published in 1791, to take Mr. Sheridan's work, and form another upon it.
■•This he did, by merely copying it in the mass : carefully omitting the slightest notice of the
lasterly and complete developement of all the simple and compound elementary principles
lof P^o^unciation, the true nature of our Accent and Emphasis, and the Rules of English

iv PREFACE.
Versification, &c., which precede the Dictionary, and substituting in their room " 559 Rules,
or Principles of Pronunciation," and, from them, deducing a key-line of the vowel sounds,
which runs along the head of every page of his Dictionary, mixing up in it the only four
diphthong sounds that he allows us, instead of twenty-five, and adding the two con-
sonant sounds marked by th, taken from Mr. Sheridan, without acknowledgment, which
key-line is exactly given by me in page 8, of my Principles of Pronunciation. Assuming also
the oSice of a hypercritic over Sheridan, Kenrick, Elphinstone, Nares, Scott, Perry, &c., by
picking out particular words, and agreeing vdth, or differing from some of those authors in the
pronunciation ; thereby indirectly intimating, that all theSe authors had produced Pronouncing
Dictionaries.
Now, whoever will take the trouble of examining their works, as I have done, will perceive
that no work like Mr. Sheridan's had been previously given as a Pronouncing Dictionary ; and
that the works of all those authors, except Kenrick's, are mere Pocket Grammars, giving,
under the head of Orthoepy, some correct, and some most absurd and incorrect lists of words,
to exemplify the different sounds which the vowel characters, or letters represent ; Kenrick,
the most conspicuous, and Mr. Walker, foUovidng in the same track ; not possessing -ears acute
enough to distinguish that, y and w, the touchstones of their mistakes, always represent vowel
sounds, the former in every place in which it appears, in the beginning, the middle, and the
end of words, the sound e, or the diphthong i, as in ye, lovely, by, hi ; and the latter, invariably
!hat of in do : as oe, we ; ao, now ; as Louth and Sheridan have demonstrated.
The following specimen from Kenrick's Dictionary, who lays down sixteen different
sounds of the vowels, and refers to them by figures, will show that he merely gives the words,
first in their order undivided, with the accentual mark invariably placed over the vowel cha-
racter of the syllable which he distinguishes as accented ; and then, divides them into syllables,
without any alteration, or addition ; and, without marking the accented letter further than by
figures placed over the vowels in each syllable.
A'dmiral — ad-mi-ral. Adju'st— ad-just.
A'djutant — ad-ju-tant. A'bbot — ab-bot.
A'bandon — a-ban-don. A'bdicate.
Mr. Perry, in his Dictionary, very judiciously taking a hint from Mr. Sheridan,
makes the accent fall either on a consonant or vowel, instead of following the absurd
practice of all the editors of Johnson, including Todd, of always placing the accentual mark
over the vowel.
Now, though I cannot, at present, enter upon an examination in which I should be able
to prove that Mr. Sheridan's Principles of Pronunciation are correct, and that, for one error
which he has committed in practically marking the pronunciation of our words, Mr. Walker
has committed two, I shall, in common justice to him, briefly point out the grounds upon
which he was more particularly qualified to give a Fac-simile Pronouncing Dictionary of the
English Language. At the same time, I cannot help expressing my astonishment that, in
representing the pronunciations to the eye, ho did not exemplify the first of the four rules
which he lays down in his Principles, and which, though it more immediately refers to words
as represented to the eye in the spelling or writing of them, has an equal reference to the
ear in the pronunciation. The following are the rules : —
PREFACE. V
K " When written words are considered i^ the types of sounds, in order to make them
correspond to their archetypes, the four following rules should be strictly observed : —
" 1. No character should be set down in any word which is not pronounced.
" 2. Every distinct simple sound should have a distinct character to mark it, for
which it should uniformly stand.
" 3. The same character should never be set dowTi iis the representative of two
different sounds.
4. All compound sounds should be marked only by such characters, as will
naturally and necessarily produce those sounds, upon their being pronounced
according to their names in the alphabet."
Mr. Sheiidan was the third son of the Rev. Doctor Thomas Sheridan, of Quilca, in the
County of Cavan, in Ireland, at whose house Dean Swift, young Sheridan's Godfather, spent a
great deal of his time, and wrote his Gulliver's Travels ; »nd, together with the father, took great
pains with his Godson, in giving him instruction, till, at a very early age, his father sent him to
Westminster School. In that seminary he formed friendships with the sons of several of the
nobility, the GrenviHes, Percys, Lord Bute, and in particular with the Rev. Dr. Markham, after-
wards Archbishop of York ; Sheridan and Markham being accounted the two best scholars of
their standing. Thence he was removed to the University of Dublin, in which he took his first
degree of A.B,, in 1736, and the degree of A.M. soon after. In November, 1768, he was, on
account of his literary reputation, admitted in congregation to the degree of A.M. in the Uni-
versity of Cambridge ; and, on the 16th of March, 1759, he was admitted to a similar distinction,
in the sister University of Oxford. He gave Lectures on the English Language, and developed
his principles of Pronunciation in both Universities, as well as in London, Dublin, and
Edinburgh ; and was honoured with the freedom of this last City, which was presented to
him by Robertson, the historian. He was also the intimate friend of the Rev. Dr. Robert
Sumner, Master of Harrow School ; and of the Rev, Doctor Parr, who succeeded Sumner. In
1762, he published his scheme for a Pronouncing Dictionary, and in it developed the correct
simple principles on which it should be founded; and in 1762, his late Majesty George the
Third, on account of his literary reputation, granted him a Pension of two hundred a-year ; the
intelligence of which was communicated to him by his early friend and Patron, the Earl of
Bute ; to whom he suggested the propriety of a provision for Doctor Johnson ; and was the first
who conmiunicated to Doctor Johnson the Royal intention. Both Pensions were given out of
His Majesty's Privy Purse. In 1775, he published in London his Art of Reading Prose, and
his Art of Reading Verse, in two volumes ; both of which the compiler of this work read to him
in 1776, and 1777, imbibing, from his instructions, that correct knowledge of the fundamental
principles of the English language, which, befng gifted with a good ear, has enabled him, after
a lapse of so long a period, to fulfil his laborious and difficult undertaking.

In the first place, they should be able to pronounce
properly all the words and sounds in the key-line ;
which, in default of masters, they may easily learn to do,
Vy hearing them from the mouth of any Englishman.
And it will be necessary to get the key-line by
heart, so as to be able to repeat, and to exemplify, any
one of the vowel sounds, separately, in any syllable of a
word that presents itself to their eye.
As this is the master-key to the marks for the vowel
sounds throughout, it will be necessary that all, who
would know them at sight, should have the perfect
use of it according to the above directions.
Foreigners should also be frequently exercised in the
pronunciation of the consonant sounds, preceding them
Oy any of the short vowel sounds, as the short sound re-
presented by ^— ^m', ^n', ip', it', &', ^t', ^v', eth', ^th',
«', ^sh', ^zh', !ng, which, throwing the organs into the
exact contact necessary to produce and perfect each of
them, will show which of them may be dwelt upon, for
a little time, when accented, by keeping the organs to-
gether, and which cannot be dwelt upon for the smallest
space of time, because the organs must be instantly
separated, in order to perfect the sound ; the former, as
iV, M', iff, the latter as ^k', ^p', et', of the mutes ;
and showing that the sounds of the semivowels may be
dwelt upon almost at pleasure, as, el, em, er, &c.
And in order to conquer the sounds of ^tB and ^th,
and other consonants, it will be good practice to follow
the sound of the consonant by the vowel sounds, as they
Wlow in the key line : as, eth-4, i&i-k, itt-i, ^ffiifi,
eth'i, Mi6', eth^!,', im^h', Miit', &c.
This point obtained, the next step will be to show
foreigners how they may acquire the use of such sounds
in the English tongue as peculiarly belong to it, whether
simple or compound ; with which they were not preac-
quainted, and to which, as being novel to them, they
find it difficult, and in some cases, for want of proper
instruction, impossible, to give utterance. For which
purpose I shall point out the difference between the
French language and ours in that respect, as that is the
most generally known and spoken by foreigners.
In the French tongue are to be found the sounds of
all our vowels ; but it is not so with regard to the con-
sonants and diphthongs.
There ore five of our consonants, which, though
marked by two letters each, are in reality simple sounds ;
and these are t&, th, sh, zh and ng ; the first two to
be ^onnd in the words thin and then, the last in ring,
and the sound zh, ezh, in azure, osier.
Th.
The consonant th has two powers, according as it is
formed by the voice, or the breath : the one may there-
fore be called vocal, the other aspirate. Of the former,
there has been an example given in the word then , the
power of the latter will be found in the word thin. To
distinguish them from each other in the Dictionary, the
1 atter, or aspirate, has a small line drawn across the h,
thus — tfi. As this sound has hitherto been found to be
unconquerable by Frenchmen, and most foreigners, it
will be necessary to show the cause of the difficulty, and
then, by removing that, to point the means by which a
right pronunciation of it may be easily attained.
It is to be observed, then, that in the French tongue,
all the articulations are formed within the mouth, and
the tongue is never protruded beyond the teeth ; con •
sequently, unless he is shown how to do it, the foreigner
will never of himself place the organ in a position that
it never had been in before ; so that, when he is urged
to pronounce that new sound, as in the word then, with-
out having the position of the organs in forming that
sound pointed out to him, he naturally utters the sound
that is nearest to it in his own tongue, and, instead of
then, says den, and for ffiin, tin ; changing eth to a d,
and clh to a t. And this he continues to do all his
life, for want of being taught the following plain simple
method of necessarily producing those sounds, if it be
but strictly followed. Suppose, then, you were desirous
of showing a foreigner how he should form the sound eth
when it begins a word or syllable ; desire him to pro-
trude the tip of his tongue between his teeth and a little
beyond them ; in that position let him press it agaii<
the upper teeth without touching the under ; then let
him utter any voice with an intention of sounding the
word then, drawing back the tongue at tlie same
time behind his teeth, and the right sound will necessa-
rily be produced. To pronounce the eSi, or aspirated
th, the organs must be exactly in the same position
with the former; but previous to the withdrawing of
the tongue, instead of voice, he must emit breath only,
which will as necessarily produce the proper power of
the aspirated tti, as in the word thin.
When these sounds end a word, or syllable, as in the
words breathe, breath, he must be told, that mstan-
taneously after sounding the preceding letters, he is to
finish the word by applying the tip of the tongue to th*
upper teeth, as before, and in sounding the word
breathe, the voice is to be continued to the end ; while
in that of breath, the voice is cut off at the vowel, and
the consonant th is formed by the breath only. In
both cases, it will be of use to continue the tongue i?
the same position for some time, prolonging the soun4
of the voice in the former, and of the breath in the
latter, till the sounds become distinct and easy by prac-
tice. This will the more speedily be effected, if he
will for some time every day repeat from a vocabulary
all the words beginning with th, and form Usts of such
words as terminate with it.
Ng.
As to the simple sound or consonant marked by the
junction of the two letters ng, it is, perhaps, a sound
peculiar to the English language, as in the word sing-
song ; and seems to have been taken from the noise
made by bells, mimicked in the expression of ding-dong
bell. There is a sound in the French nearly approach-
ing to it, to be found in such words as dent, camp, and
in all their nasal vov/els ; but these are imperfect
sounds, and can scarcely be called articulate ; and there
only wants to perfect the articulation to make the
French exactly the same with the English : the only
difference between them being, that, in the French
similar sounds, the tongue does not touch the roof of
the mouth, as in pronouncing the English ing, though
in other respects it be in a similar position. If, there-
fore, a foreigner wants to produce this sound, he haa
only to raise the middle of his tongue into a gentle
contact with the roof of his mouth in pronouncing anv

of the nasal vowels, which cotnpleteg the articulation,
and in this way the French nasal vowel heard in the
word dent, will be converted into the English consonant
funded in the syllable dong ; and so on of the rest.
J.
This letter has a very different sound in English from
what it has in French. In the latter it has a simple
sound ; in the former it is the representative of a com-
pound sound made of d and an aspirated z. This is a
difficult sound to such foreigners as have it not in their
several tongues : and to enable them to pronounce it,
it is only requisite to desire them to form the letter d
with a vowel before it, as ed ; keeping the tongue in the
game position that it has when that letter is so formed ;
then let them try to unite it to the French j, which is
exactly the same sound with what I have called the
aspirated z or zh, and the compound sound of edzh, or
dzha, will be produced. But as foreigners are equally
strangers to the combination of the two letters zh, and
would therefore not know what sound belonged to it, it
will be proper to substitute the French^ in the room of
zh in spelling all words containing that sound, as thus,
edje ; and in order to begin a syllable with that sound,
which is more difficult than to conclude with it, let
them place the tongue in the position of sounding ed,
keeping it in that position, and then the first sound
uttered must necessarily be that of d, which connected
with the subsequent j followed by a vowel, of course
must form the compound to be found in the words
<&'oy (joy), "^jo^e (Joi^^)- . ,
The sound of this letter has been sometimes marked
m the Dictionary by a combination of the letters dzh ;
and sometimes by the letterj. But if a foreigner will
consider the zh as equivalent to the French j, the
right pronunciation will soon become familiar to him.
Ch.
The sound annexed to this combination of letters is
different in the English from what it is in the French :
in the former it is a compound, in the latter a simple
sound; in the same way as that of j, just described.
The sound of the French ch is exactly the same as the
English sh ; and, in order to facilitate the pronuncia-
tion of our compoond ch, it will be only necessary to
follow the same method as has been above proposed
with regard to the letter j ; with this difference, that a
t instead of a d is to be formed in the manner there
described, preceding the sound of the French ch, as, etch.
It is true, we have some words in our tongue where
the ch is preceded by a t, producing the same indivi-
dual sound, as in the words itch, stitch, which the
French never fail to pronounce properly, being guided
to it by seeing the letter t placed before the ch ; but
to other words, of exactly the same sound, though
differently spelt, by the omission of the t, as rich, which,
they always annex their own simple sound of ch. So
that here is a plain simple rule to guide foreigners in
the right pronunciation of the English ch, which is, by
always supposing combined letters preceded by a t ;
thus, in the words cheese, charm, let them suppose them
spelt tcheese, tcharm ; and if they find any difficulty at
first in uniting those sounds at the beginning of words,
on account of the eye's not being accustomed to such a
combination of those letters, let them do as was before
directed with regard to j ; let them begin with placing
the organs in the position of sounding t, which will be
done by placing a vowel before it, as et ; the t being
thus formed, let them keep the tongue in that position :
the sound of t must necessarily be the first uttered on
changing that position, and will readily coalesce with
the following sound of ch.
This compound sound, as above described, is what
uniformly prevails in all native English words ; but
there are some few derived from the French which re-
tain their primitive pronunciation, such as chagrin,
champaign, chevalier, &c. ; and some, derived fronj
the Greek, take the sound of k, as chaos, chorus : bu
the number of these is but small, easily learned by use
jsd the difference is properly marked in the Dictionary
Sh.
This is a combination of letters not to be four.d in (he
French language, and therefore foreigners know not
what sound to give it ; but the usual way is to pro-
nounce it like a simple s. Thus : for shal, they say
sal; for shame, same, &c. But, to attain the right
sound, it will be only necessary to inform them, that
the English sh has uniformly the same sound as the
French ch, in the words charite, chere : thus, if thej
supppose the words shall and shame, above-mentioned,
to be written, chaU and chame, they will pronounce them
properly.
Diphthongs.
Having said all that is necessary of the vowels ana
consonants, the next article to be considered is that o .
the diphthongs. It is in these that the chief difference
between the English and French tongues consists, as
there are many diphthongs in the former not to be found
in the latter.
Of the Diphthongs i and u.
These two have hitherto always passed for simpla
sounds, because Ihey are for the most part marked by
single letters as above : their sounds are marked in the
scheme of the vowels, by the words fight, blue ; and
these are the sounds given to those vowels in repeating
the alphabet. But in reality they are perfect diph-
thongs, and therefore foreigners can never attain their
right pronunciation, till they are first made acquainted
with the simple sounds whereof they are composed.
The diphthong i is a compound of the fullest and slen-
derest of our vowels h and ^ ; the first made by the
largest, and the last by the smallest aperture of the
mouth. If we attend to the process in forming this
sound, we shall find that the mouth is first opened to
the same degree of aperture, and is in the same posi-
tion as if it were going to pronounce &., but before tho
voice can get a passage through the lips the under jaw
IS drawn near to the upper, in the same position as
when the vowel d is formed ; and thus the full sound,
checked by the slender one, and coalescing with it,
produces a third sound different from both, which is the
diphthong i. There is a sound in the French somewhat
resembling our i, to be found in such words as vin, Jin ;
but that there is a difference between them, will be im-
mediately perceptible by sounding after them our
words, as vin, wine — -fan, fine i and the difference con-
sists in this, that their diphthong is formed of the second
sound of a, S. and 5, and ours of the first, 4 d ; so that, in
order to produce that sound, you are to desire a fo-
reigner to open his mouth as wide as if he were going
to pronounce i, and meant to sound that vowel ; but on
the first effort of the voice for that purpose, to check its
progress by a sudden motion of the under jaw towards
the upper, till the two sounds coalesce, and then in-
stantly to stop all further effusion of voice. Thus, as
the sound of a is not completed, nor the sound of k con-
tinued, there results from the union of the two a third
sound or diphthong, which has no resemblance to either
and yet is a compound of both.
The diphthong u is compounded of the sound e and b,
the former so rapidly uttered, and falling so quickly
into the sound 6, that its own power is not perceived,
while that of 6, being a little dwelt upon, is distinctly
heard. There is a sound in the French that somewhat
resembles this, to be found in the words dieu, mieux
but the differeiivie will be immediately perceived bv
sounding after them our words dew, mew ; and it con-
sists in this, that their diphthong terminates in the
French vowel eu, a sound which we have not in our
tongue, and is found therefore very hard to be formed by
English organs ; and ours termiriates in 6, the same as
the French ou. To form it properly, therefore, a fo-
reigner is to be told that it is composed of the sounds S
and 5, the first not completed, but rapidly running into
the latter, which he is to consider as the same sound
with the French ou ; our pronoun you is an exact re-
presentation to a French eye o our diphthong u.

Of the Diphthong oi, or oy.
This diphthong, which is sometimes spelt with an i,
and sometimes with a y, is formed by a union of the
same vowels as that of i : that is k e, with this difference,
that the first vowel k being dwelt upon, is distinctly
heard before its sound is changed by'its junction with
the latter vowel 5, as in the words noise, akes, boys,
biSz, n^-ez, nk&z, hk-^z, hkiz.
To form this diphthong, it is necessary to pronounce
the full sound of k, dwelling a little upon it before the
sound is intercepted by the motion of the under jaw, to
the position of forming the slender sound 5, and then
the voice is instantly to cease. This diphthong differs
from that of i only in this, that the first vowel k is dis-
tinctly heard before it unites with the latter vowel i.
Of the Diphthong on, or ow.
This diphthong, though differently marked, like the
foregoing one, sometimes by ou, and sometimes by ow,
has always the same sound, and is composed of the
vowels k and 5 ; the organs being at first in the position
of sounding k, but before that sound is perfected, by a
motion of the under jaw and lips to the position of
sounding 6, the first sound A, is checked and blended
with the latter 6, from which results the diphthong ou
or ow, as in thou, now, (thkbn, nidw. )
All the other diphthongs of our tongue are formed by
the short sounds of 6 and S, marked by the characters w
and y, preceding other vowels, and combining with
them in the same syllable ; as thus
to or short o.

To Instruct foreigners in the true pi^wunciation ol
these, it will be only necessary to inform uiem that our
w answers in sound and power to the French ou, when
it forms a diphthong. As, for instance, our pronoun we
is individually the same sound as their affirmative oui :
and the mistake which they constantly commit of sound-
ing that letter like a v, is owing to their not being in-
formed of the true nature of that letter, and taking up
their idea of it from the printed character, wherein two
interwoven vees (w) are exhibited to view; but if in
all diphthongs commencing with that letter, they will
place their lips in the position of forming the French ou,
they cannot fail of producing the proper sound. In like
manner, all diphthongs formed by y, are to be considered
as commencing with the sound given to that character
in the French, which is the same with their vowel i.
All who make themselves masters of the few direc-
tions and rules given above, will be enabled to produce at
sight the right pronunciation of every word which they
shall look for in the Dictionary.
The accent is placed throughout over the letter on
which it is laid m pronunciation ; over the vowel or
diphthong, when the stress of the voice is on the vowel ;
over the consonant when it is on that. As thus : —

The syllables of the words are divided according to
the mode of pronouncing them ; that is, all letters
which are united in utterance in the sajne syllable, are
kept together also in writing, and separated from
the rest ; which certainly is the natural division, though
it be contrary to the fantastic mode followed in our
tpelllng-books and grammars.
RULES
TO BE
OBSERVED BY THE NATIVES OF IRELAND AND WALES,
IN ORDER TO ATTAIN A JUST PIONUNCIATION OF ENGLISH.
Extracted from Mr. Sheridan's Works, with some Alterations, by J. Knowles.
a'U, a'rl, a'ce, e've, no', to', bet', bit', but' — (
The chief mistakes made by the Irish in pronouncing
English, lie for the most part in the sounds of the two
first vowels, a and e ; the former being generally
sounded k by the Irish, as in the word bir, in most
words where it is pronounced d, as in day, by the Eng-
lish. Thus, the Irish say, patron, mdtron, the vowel
3. having the same sound as in the word father ; while
the English pronounce them as if written, paytron,
maytron. The following rule, strictly attended to, will
rectify this mistake throughout the whole language.
When the vowel a finishes a syllable, and has th<i ac-
cent on it, it is invariably pronounced d [day] by the
English. To this rule there are but three exceptions iti
the whole language, to be found in the words father,
papi, mamd. The Irish may think also the word
rather an exception, as well as father ; and so it would
appear in their manner of pronouncing it, rd-ther,
laying the accent on the vowel a : but in the English
pronunciation, the consonant th is taken into the first
syllable ; as thus, rath'er, which makes the difference.
Whenever a consonant follows the vowel a in the
same syllable, and the accent is on the consonant, the
vowel a has always its second sound, as hat', min' ; as
also the same sound lengthened when it precedes the
letter r, as fa'r, bi'r, though the accent be on the
vowel ; as likewise when it precedes hn, as ba'lm,
psa'lm. The Irish, ignorant of this latter exception,
pronounce all words of that structure as if they were
written bawm, psdwm, quawm, cawm, &c. In the first
sound of a, marked by difl'erent combinations of vowels,
or consonants, such as au in Paul ; aw, in law ; all,
in call ; aid, in bald ; alk, in talk, &c. the Irish make
no mistake, except in that of Im, as before mentioned.
The second vowel e is, for the most part, sounded ee
by the English, when the accent is upon it ; whilst the
Irish in most words give it the sound of second 4, as in
hate. This gound of e [ee] is marked by different com-
binations of vowels, such as ea, ei, e final mute, ee, and
ie. In the two last combinations of ee and ie, the Irish
never mistake ; such as meet, seem, field, believe, Ac;
but in all others, they almost universally change the
sound of 6 into k. Thus, in the combination ea, they
pronounce the words tea, sea, please, as if they were
spelt tay, say, plays ; instead of tee, see, pleese. The
English constantly give this sound to ea, whenever the
accent is on the e, except in the following words, great,
a pear, a bear, to bear, to forbear, to swear, to tear,
to wear. In all which the e is sounded as in there,
thdre. For want of knowing these exceptions, the
gentlemen of Ireland, after some time of residence in
London, are apt to fall into the general rule, and pro-
nounce these words as if spelt greet, beer, sweer. Sec
Ei is always sounded ee by the English, and as & by
the Irish ; thus, the words deceit, receive, are pro-
nounced by them as if written desnte, resave. Ei is
always sounded ee, except when a g follows it, as in the
words, reign, feign, deign, &c. ; as also in the words,
rein (of a bridle), rein deer, vein, drein, veil, heir,
which are pronounced like rain, vain, drain, vail, air.
The final mute e makes the preceding e in the same
syllable, when accented, have the sound of ee, as in the
words supreme, sincere, replete. This rule is almost
universally broken through by the Irish, who pronounce
all such words as if written suprdme, sinsdre, repldte,
&e. There are but two exceptions to this rule in the
English pronunciation, which are the words, there,
where, &c.
on', was', at' — good'^w, o — y, e, or i — ^i, u.
In the way of marking this sound, e, by a double e, a!<
thus, ee, as the Irish never make any mistakes, the best
method for all who want to acquire the right pronun-
ciation of these several combinations, is to suppose that
ea, ei, and e, attended by a final mute e, are all spelt
with a double e, or ee.
Ey is always sounded like S, by the English, when the
accent is upon it ; as in the words prey, convey, pro-
nounced pray, convay. To this there are but two ex-
ceptions, in the words key and ley, sounded kee, lee.
The Irish, in attempting to pronounce like the English,
often give the same sound to ey, as usually belongs to
ei : thus, for prey, convey, they say pree, convee.
A strict observation of these few rules, with a duo
attention to the vei y few exceptions enumerated above,
will enable the well-educated natives of Ireland to pro-
nounce their words exactly in the same way as the more
polished part of the inhabitants of England do, so far as
the vowels are concerned. The diphthongs they com-
mit no fault in, except in the sound of r ; which has
been already taken notice of in the Grammar. Where
likewise the only diflerence in pronouncing any of the
consonants has been pointed out ; which is the thick-
ening the sounds of d and t, in certain situations ; and
an easy method proposed of correcting this habit.
In order to complete the whole, I shall now give a
list of such detached words, that do not come under any
of the above rules, as are pronounced differently in Ire-
land from what they are in England.

These, after the closest attention, are all the words
not included in the rules before laid down, that I have
been able to collect, in which the well-educated natives
of Ireland differ from those of England.
With regard to the natives of Scotland — as their
dialect differs more, and in a great number of points,
from the English, than that of any others who speak
that language, it will require a greater number of rules,
and more pains to correct it. The most material dif-
ference in point of pronunciation, and which pervades
dieir whole speech, is that of always laying the accent
«n the vowel, in words where it ought to be on the con-
sonant. This has been already taken notice of in the
Grammar, and the method of curing that habit pointed
out. In this article, therefore, they should chiefly exer-
cise themselves, till they attain a facility in accenting
\he consonants, and givmg their true sounds to the pre-
ceding vowels, according to the rule there laid down ;
fcr it 13 in this that the chief difference between the
Scotch and English pronunciation consists. With re-
gard to intonation, indeed, or what is commonly called
the Scotch accent, they totally differ from the English ;
of which I have treated at large in my Lectures on the
Ari of Reading. But in this, written rules can be of
ittle use, except when assisted by the living voice ; and
therefore the aid of masters, who shall join example to
precept, is here required. If the same ardour continues
for obtaining a just and polished delivery, which I found
preva.A among the young gentlemen of Scotland, when
1 delivered my Course of Lectures at Edinburgh, they
will no-v have it in their power to compass the point
upon certain grounds, chiefly by their own labour and
application. Nor will they long be without due assist-
ance, where that is reauisite, upon proper encourage-
ment ; for as there could be no hopes of having skilful
masters to teach this art, without first having a proper
method of instruction ; so that method being now laid
open, will no doubt induce numbers to apply themselves
to the mastery of it, in order to become preceptors in
that most useful and ornamental of all arts.
Nor are there wanting examples to stimulate thosa
who are in pursuit of this object, and to insure success
to their endeavours. There was a gentleman of that
country, in London, in a high oflSce of the law, who
did not leave Scotland till after he had been some
years advanced in manhood ; and yet, after having
received instruction for a few months only, according
to the method laid dovim in this work, his speech was
not to be distinguished from that of the most polished
natives of England, both in point of pronunciation and
intonation ; and he became at that day the best pat-
tern to be followed with regard to both, whether in the
House of Commons, or at the bar.
And yet there was a more extraordinary instance
which I met with at Edinburgh, in a Lord* of Session,
who, though he had never been out of Scotland, yet
merely by his own pains, without rule or method, only
conversing much with such Englishmen as happened to
be there, and reading regularly with some of the prin-
cipal actors, arrived even at an accuracy of pronuncia-
tion, and had not the least tincture of the Scottish
intonation.
I shall now say a few words to the inhabitants of
Wales; in order to show how easily they might get
rid of their provincial dialect.
The peculiarity of the Welsh pronunciation arises
chiefly from their constantly substituting the three pure
mutes, in the room of the three impure ; and the three
aspirated semivowels, in the place of the three vocal.
Thus, instead of 6, they use p ; for p, they use k, or hard
c ; and for d, they employ t. For blood, they say plut ;
for God, they say Cot ; and for dear, tear. In like
manner, in the use of the semivowels, they substitute/
in the place of » ; » in the place of z ; eth in the room
of eth ; and esh in that of ezh. Thus, instead of virtue
and vice, they say, firtue and fice ; instead of zeal and
praise, they say, seal praisse ; instead of these and those,
thesse and ffiosse ; instead of azure, osier, they say,
ashur, oshur. Thus, there are no less than seven of our
consonants which the Welsh never pronounce at all.
Now, if the difference in the manner of formation be-
tween these seven consonants and their seven corre-
spondent ones, were pointed out to them, in the way
described in the grammar, they might in a short time
be taught the perfect use of them.
The people of Somersetshire pronounce the semi-
vowels m a way directly opposite to that of the Welsh,
For whereas the Welsh change the vocal into the aspi-
rate, they of Somersetshire change the aspirate into the
vocsJ. For father, they say, vather ; for Somersetshire,
Zomerzetshire ; for Qiin, thin. So that their methoo
f)f cure, is to take the direct opposite course to that oi
the 'Welsh.

OF THE
PRINCIPLES ON WHICH HUMAN SPEECH IS FOUNDED.
Before 1 proceed to give a complete developement
•f the nature, the number, and the properties of all the
nimple 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 povyer 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 mee
rational and welcome praise ; teaching thy children
wisdom — instructing the offspring of thy loins in piety."
—Economy 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, vowels, 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
•f his revealed will, word, and ordinances ; and not
under the headstrong influence of his own sinfui, 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
Hut present themselves to his senses, and an additional
/
knowledge that, tTie ideas so received operate en one
another, and are commingled so as to produce a second
set of ideas, which, together with the first, form, by the
help of words, as their si'^-VS, what is called language ;
all these have been, with g.'eat approaches to accuracy,
ascertained and developed by aiip.toniists, 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, or the cavities which
contain it, but simply to state, that, 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 havo
a large head. From these discoveries and observations
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 to 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 passions, 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 sufllicient to produce language, for, parrots anc
other birds have been taught to utter articulate sounds
and whole sentences, distinctly enough, though utterly
debarred, by the will of their Divine Creator, from e»-
EXPOSITION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF SPEECH.
CToaching on the prerogative of man, by attaching
meaning to them ; so true it is, as Buffon says, that
" no disposition" (rather formation), " of matter, but
that 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 these fundamental sources of spoken language,
the first process 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 media, the instruments,
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 reilection are the only sources of all our
thoughts or ideas.
In the third place, neither 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 whole 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. fc
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 constitutmg a whole phrase or sentence, which
had been expressed in a preceding part of a discourse,
or, 01 several sentences or paragraphs, &c. For exam-
ples of all these methods used for the sake of despatch,
the curious reader is rsferred to Mr. Locke's "Essay
on the Human Understanding," and to Home Tooke's
' Diversions of Purley."
These few preliminary ooservations 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 are employed in the formation of language.
SECTION 11.
OF THE POWERS, PASSIVE AND ACTIVE, OF THE HUMAN
BRAIN, AND 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 s^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 povrer 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 cry, an apple, a sour apple, a weed,
an offensive weed, &c. 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 aiid 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 formed, 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." Reflection 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 refuse to perceive
ideas of objects presented to him ; nor be ignorant of
what he d;*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
"etain them, totally eflTace some of the impressions
j ifMch it has received.
! Whatever is perceived in any way, externally, or m-
' temally, 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.
j From various causes, the brain, or mind, does not
; always notice the impressions made on the senses by
I 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
i 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.
I Memory, or retention, is the third power of the brain,
or mind ; and, consists in storing up, and retaining in the
I mind, the simple ideas of sensation and reflection ; and
i 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 are two kinds of retention,
contemplation and memory. The 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 much on the constitution of
our bodies. Its business is to furnish to the mind dor-
mant ideas when o<;casion requires.
Memory differs 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 jier-
cej)tion, 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 turning, 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 great 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 comparison 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
by 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 in arranging,
examining, combining, and comparing the 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 lexical, or grammatical distinci.v..s
of names being, that every word, or general term, that
is a name for several classes, as the word animal, i»
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
whi(;h is the name of only one of a class, as London, is
called an individual, or proper name.
Imagination, or fancy, is the seventh power of the
mind, a power arising out of the exercise of reflection,
and often unconsciously e-xercised, even in sleep, in a
wonderful manner. It consists in forming in our
waking hours, pictures, or resemblances of persons,
places, and things of iJl 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-
fo-.-o the mind, either in their natural forms, under the
guidance of nature, truth, reason, and revelation ; or, in
grotesque, disorderly, and discordant forms, uncon-
trolled 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
ckscriptiou of this faculty, that I trust my readers will
not be displeased at my presenting them 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 apjHitites and
passions, show kis affinity 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
spin tual, on the other.
" As reason, presides over the intellectual ; passion, ovet
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
t)ie 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 faculty 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 ; fM- ever unwearied in her pursuitsi
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 power, we may see that, though
she may be an excellent ally 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
ii2
EXPOSITION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF SPEECH.
aa ally to reason, she partakes of the divine nature of the
»oul ; and has the whole store of intellectual ideas at
command. She takes her flight with a bold wing
through infinity, uncircumscribed by space or time ;
reaspn, 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 subordination 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 below 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.
" When 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
•ubstitute 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.
*' When 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-
Serous to society, within proper bounds, by penal laws,
loralists 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 aU the dictates of reason, to all laws, chvine
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, Mr. 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 smiple composition ;
because it does not extend to tuch a number oi 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 ol
giving every single idea a name peculiar to itself, arises
the necessity of including several under oTie head, or
name, from some common resemblance which 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 gi-adually receives its first class of
ideas, called ideas of perception, through the medium of
the senses ; yet that, aft*r the mind has been stored
with a number of those ideas, it soon begins to exercise
them in the various ways 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-
clusions 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.
SECTION IIL
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
developement 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^Sos, ortlios,
right ; and y^ajnu, 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 an^
term without applying it to a specific use, made use of,
and included under the term orthoepy, as its derivatiot

rom ofiat, right, and »«•»?, epos, a sound, imports, all
he rules that are laid down for the pronunciatioa of
ietters, syllables, and words.
Of the Organs which produce the Voice.
The breath, or air from the lungs, is changed into the
Clear, 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
nr into and from the lungs, and consists of cartilages,
or gristles, so strong as to enable it to stand firm and
uncompressed.
The 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-
pipe.
The epiglottis is a broad triangular cartilage, very
clastic, and like to an artichoke leaf. It has a powerful
influence upon speech ; but, its peculiar office 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
Talve, standing directly over the glottis, and flaps down
upon it, like the key of a wind instrument, the mo-
tion of the tongiie instinctively laying it flat over the
glottis, so that it is a perfect guard upon the aperture of
Uie 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,
Viore particularly by two very fine semicircular mem-
Dranes 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 different 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
ooys ; 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
& in all, i. in art, i in ace, by themselves, or any of the
consonants, as eV, ed', eg', and press forcibly the very
upper part of your windpipe with your finger whilst ut-
ternig 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 called voice.
SECTION IV.
OF THE ORGANS OF SPKECH AND AKTICUIJkTION.
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 speech.
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 wundpipe. It is an extremely deli-
cate and flexible organ ; of the existence, or situation o>
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-
moved the difficulty that prevented me from totally
reforming his speech. It is very remarkable that his
parents were not aware of the circumstance, othervi'ise
a surgeon would have remedied the natural 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 PARTICULARLV
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 eive 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 i, i, a, e, o, o.
The figures placed ever the above vowels have refer-
ence to the scale of the vowels which will presently be
exhibited. , , i. •
5. The next articulations called simple, though, m
fact, they are really compound sounds, are the conso-
nants, which are 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, everj
EXPOSITION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF SPEECH.
movement and contact must be assisted by an impulse,
or stroke of the voice, which, 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
gome 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 foUow 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,
fthen 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 witli 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
bv 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 thousand 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 voice, passing through an o].en
mouth, more or less, without any contact of the organs
of speech to intercept it.
2. That, whether the vowel be a full or a slender one,
a 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
soimds 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 thev are kept together.
Concluding Observations on the Formation of the
Vowels.
In examining Mr. Sheridan's principles, it will be
seen that he has, with considerable accuracy, described
the manner in which the vowel sounds arc formed ; but,
if any teacher, any critic, wishes to be more particular,
let 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
Msert that he will draw the following conclusion as to
the precise manner in which each of thera is produced,
proceeding from the sound of a, in all, to that repre-
sented by u, in but.
k% i'lt, 4'ce, e've, 6're, t6', b^t, b!t, bfit.
k I. I B b b ihf ih' fih'
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 i 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 4 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
k, 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 towards 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
tlian that of k. 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 'i,he lower palate, or gums ;
that it is considerably raised in the mouth, but not
drawn back ; and th.w 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 throws the sound up
to the roof of the mouth. In uttering the sound repre-
sented by 6 in ut, he will perceive that the end, or
point of ' b . tongue, is looser in the mouth than it was
in the f jr jier sounds, and drawn a little farther back
from the lower gums, though it rests upon the lower
palate ; ihat it is drawn back so much as to leave a con-
sideraJi ^e space between it and the palate ; and that, by
a stro'ig movement, it raises the back part of it up, so
as to "Jirow the voice against the extreme back pai-t and
sides if the palate.
I have dwelt the raor'^ particularly upon the nature of
these three »hort soundti, because, neither Mr. Shendan,

OF DIPHTHONGS 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 produced 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 ^k,
in the word water ; -Aa., in the word waxen ; -^1, in
wafer ; Vte, in the pronoun we, &c. &c. ; ya, in the word
yawn ; fk, in yard ; ye, in year ; e6, in yoke, &c. &c.
Here follows a Ust, or table, of all the diphthongs and
triphthongs in our language, with the different vowel
characters which mark their sonnds ; of which diph-
thong zounds no two are alike ; that is, though the
vowol 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-
nouciation, oomposed of the same two long vowel sounds,
the same two short vowel sounds, the same »ong 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.

SECTION VIII.
OBSERVATIONS ON ARTICULATION, WITH REFERENCE TO
THE SIMPLE SOUNDS OF SPEECH.
1. My first observation is, that; as the definition of
an articulate sound is, that it is the 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, eth, 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-
nanti, 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, whils*
they are in contact, yet it cannot be completed into an
8
EXPOSITION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF SPEECH.
urticulation, fit for the purposes of speech, until some
"owel 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
ettt, as in theme, path, as sufficient to exemplify my ob-
servations.
Now, if I place my 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 ffi, 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 as})iration, and it becomes a perfect consonant
articulation — consonans, that is, sounding with the
vowel, as when I say ofli, afli, effi, iffi, ufli, oaQi, &c.,
or ffii, QiS, thi, ttiS, th6, &c., &c., ffieme, paffi.
3. My second observation, which will exemplify in
a 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, Qi, 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,
, 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
litter 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
consequence.
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 contacts 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 vowel has a positive existence without the
aid of any consonant, but a consonant can have no ex-
ist«nce without the aid of a vowel.
6. 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, etti, and
esh, are formed entirely by the breath, it may also be
asked upon what ground they can be called articulate
ttounds. To these questions I answer, that, as the defi-
nition of an articulate is, " the sound of the human
voice, fonned by the organs of speech," the character h
iH-ing merely the mark of an aspiration, or breathing,
without the least mixture of the voice, or contact of the
»rgan», it cannot have any claim to be called an articu-
late sound ; and that, with respect to cf, es, eth, and
fiih, though, in forming them, the breath only, without
»ny mixture of the voice, continues to act upon the
lyrgans as long as they are kept in the positions neces-.
arj to produce thc»c sounds, 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 as
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 I have
drawn are correct.
OF THE PRINCIPAL IMPROVEMENTS IN
THIS DICTIONARY.
The principal improvements in this Dictionary are —
1st. The following key line, which exhibits the nine
simple vowel sounds of the English language, of which
no two are characteristically the same, with the short
quantity of the only three which admit of a short quan-
tity, and with the sounds always represented by the
vowel characters, w, y, i, u, will be continued through-
out the Dictionary, as the head line of every page.
My Key Line of the Vowel Sounds, long and short
and of the Vowel Characters, w, y, i, u.
ill, i'rt, i'ce, e've, n6', t^, b^t', b5t', bflt'— 6n', iXis' ; if;
g6od' ; ^, 6 ; ^, e, or i ; i, u.
2nd. The following is the key or foot line of the
simple consonant sounds, in all 1 9 and 1 pure aspira-
tion ; h, to run across the bottom of the first page only
with the superfluous and compound letters, and their
sounds ; 2 superfluous, c, k, or s ; q, k ; 3 compound, j,
ej ; X, eks, or egz ; ch, etsh. 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', eV, em', en', cp', er', es', et', ev', ez'
eOi', eth', esh', ezh', ing', c, k or s ; q, k ; j, ej ; x,
eks, or egz ; ch, etsh ; h, an aspiration, eh, ha.
3d. Contrasted with these, Blr. Walker's head-line;
which runs across every page of his dictionary — Mr.
Sheridan gives no head-line — will follow it in the second
and third pages only : —
569. F4te 73, far 77, fill 83, fit 81_mi 93, mit 95—.
pine 105, pin 107 — nb 162, m^ve 164, nur 167, nd.
163— tube 171, tub 172, bflll 173—611 229— pSiin-i
313— thin 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 sjl'ables, namely, i, in
pine, u, in tube, 8i, in oil, and ?/u, in pound ; of which
number any car, 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 S( und as a,
in fall, he proves tnc 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 i, in m5 ; the diphthong being
truly ie, fii, as he should have marked it ; for it would
be impossible to give the i the same sound in fiil, bfly,
tS^, c3^, 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 reoresents in tnis
word, and had placed the same figure of 2 over the i, to
denote the ]ieculiar 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 m^, in
either word ; or, suppose he had given the word cflin,
as his example of the diphthong, marking the i by the
EXPOSITION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF SPEECH.
f&
ficiire of 2, to signify that it has the same sound as in
pin, surely any man whose ear was capable of distin-
•mishing one sound from another, would immediately
perceive that, in order to preserve the short sound
marked by I, he must make two syllables of the word,
and pronounce it ci-in ; or pronounce the word as one
syllable, and give to the o the somid of 4, in fill, and to
the i the sound of i, in m^, ciln, c5in, or as two, thus,
eSi-ln.
To this key line of vowel and diphthong sounds, he
adds two words, ffiin, 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,
th, 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, eth, the Greek 4 ffieta, 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. My 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 i in all, the fidlest vocal sound in
any language, to the front, near the teeth, in sounding
?, in eve, the slenderest vocal articulate sound in any
anguage, and terminating in the pushing out of the
.ips in 6, in the word no, to &, 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 b^t,
bit, bflt, 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, us in ]m!\/,
bit', but' ; der', dir', dur', though all consonant accented
syllables, as esh', ish', ush', ; eng', ing', nng' ; and,
therefore, have no comparative quantity.
4th. That the three duplicates, or short sounds, a, in
was', 4, in at', and 6, 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
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
un, is reduced to a short quantity in i^as', because the
ronsonaiit, s, is accented ; and the two vowels forming
a drjihtbong tre rapidly passed over, in order to accent
die oonsunant. The 6, in on', is also the same charac-
teristic sound as h., in all, differing only in quantity, in
cance([uence of the accent being on the n : the h,, in at',
dSffers utJy in quantity from tne ^ in k'rt ; the sound
of 6, 131 good', and of ft, in bull, and bflsh', differ only in
quantity, not sound, from ft, in t&, dfi', or prAvc, by tie
accent being on the consonant in the former — on I'.ie
vowel in the latter. These duplicates, therefore,
throughout the dictionary, are always marked by th«
figures that are placed over their correlative long sounds,
the consonant which follows them showing that thry
are sounded short. Another reason for not slwny's
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 n^, g6' ; the vowel sound
3., ii' i'ce, pa'ce ; and the vowel sound &, in e've, hiyre,
&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, k, h, 8, as in ill,
i'rt, t(/, have a short quantity in ^As', S,t', g6od' : the
other three, d, e, 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 6, in to', 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', 6it', ftik'.
The u, therefore, like w, when used in forming diph-
thongs, will be represented by 8.
10th. That as the letter y always represents the sound
^, or i ; ^ in the beginning of every word, ye', yo'u, yet',
young', ^e, ^6, eit', efing' ; and frequently in the ending,
as in lovely, Iflv'-le ; when so sounded, its sound will be
invariably represented by the figure 4 over the y : and
when it is sounded i, as m try, by the letter i and a dot
placed over it, as tri.
1 1th. 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, d^'s'-te-tu't, k6n-tri't, with the accentual mark ;
the 6 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 distinguisn 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 b!t, bAt. 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 full sounds, unac-
cented, I do not place any mark over them, as thusi
r^f-lu-^nt, k6-&g-\i-l&t', r^k'-t^-fi-^r, rek'-u-zant,
^d'-«-fi.
12th. ITiat, as the letters o, in on', and a, in wa«^,
both represent the short quantity of i, in all, I am not
particukr in mfirking these short sounds in diphthongs
by A only, or by A ; but sometimes by one, sometimes by
the other, as in was', 66z', watch, 6atsh, quantity, qua-
lity, k68n'-tit-5, k8il'-it-5.
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; f481.
ael, bii'l, bA6'nd ; and I mark the diphthong by placing
the accent after the latter vowel, as ie'l. But, when
the following consonant, and not the diphthong, is ac-
cented, as in was', watch', 8iz', ft6tsh', 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, i, i, 6, have
a short quantity, when the accent is upon a following
consonant, as in ^4s', n6t', it', gftod', pAl'l, bfil'l ; the
\owel character 6, throughout the language, and not
the character A, as in was, almost invariably represent-
ing the short quantity ot 4, as b61', p61', f61', d61', &c.,to
z and ng, in I6ng', and the "vowel character u sometimes
representing the short quantity of 6. But I defy any,
' tilt) nicest car, to prove that the other three long vowel
10
EXPOSITION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF SPEECH.
soundsi, J, e, 6, have any short quantity ; though their
sounds, when they are accented, may be prolonged at plea-
sure ; and I also defy any person to take the sound ^, as
preceding any consonant from b to z, and to squeeze it.
Air. W^alker's term in speaking of ee, or shorten it,
: nto the peculiar sound which i represents in ib', if, it',
iz', ing' ; diifering characteristically from each of the
other eight, whether sounded long or short, or whether
the following consonant be accented or not.
14th. That the sounds of the consonants, and of the
superfluous, and compound letters, follow the vowels at
the bottom of the first page only, with a short vowel
sound preceding each, in order to enable the student, or
foreigner, to make accurate observations on the manner
in which the organs of speech are brought together to
form them ; and the nice distinctions between them ;
in consequence of the slight differences which the dif-
ferent contacts of the very same organs occasion, as in
b, p, m, accordingly as they are more or less compressed,
or as a greater or less portion of them is brought to-
gether ; or as they may be kept in contact for some
time, to prolong the articulations, as in eb', ed', eg' ; or
must be instantly separated, as in ep', ek', et' ; in which
latter three, the attempt to keep the organs together
.'or the smallest space of time would only prevent a com-
pletion of the articulations. Or, again, as in eOi, in
Bieme, and eth, in then, the nice distinction between
these two sounds, the contact of the tongue placed be-
tween the teeth, resting on the under, and pressing
slightly against the under part of the upper, the breath
only acting on the organs in the former etH, and the
breath and voice united, with a closer pressure of the
tongue against the teeth, acting on the latter, and con-
stituting the nice characteristic difference between
them — eOi, eth. — See Mr. Sheridan's "Principles," and
observe that throughout every syllable in the dictionary
they will be distinguished from each other as they are here.
15th. I have to observe, that the sound ng, ing, does
not commence more than two or three words in our
language ; as inguinal, ingle, pronounced ing-guin-al,
ing^l ; and that zh, ezh, does not commence a single
■word, as it does in a number of French words, as jar-
dine, jamais, jambe, jarre, jambaje, &c. ; but, that it
commences, as well as ends, many syllables, supplying
the place of s ; as in the words adhesion, cohesion, trea-
sure, measure, pronounced ad-he-zhun, ko-he-zhun,
trezh-ur, mezh-ur.
16th. Throughout the dictionary, instead of dzh,
which Mr. Sheridan makes use of, as the compound
sound of which soft g and j are composed, and their re-
presentatives, that is, the sound of d united to zh, dzh,
edzh, I make use of j, as Mr. Walker sometimes cor-
rectly and judiciously does. But, whereas he places d
before the j in many words, I give the j singly, as a
perfect mark for the full compound sound ; the sound
of d before j, ir any one syllable in the language, not
being heard by any ear, though Mr. Walker's led him to
suppose it could be heard preceding j in the very same
syllable, as in grudje, judje, lodje, trudjc, &c. ; thus,
in several instances, constituting his eye, not his ear,
the judge of sounds, and in this very word, judge, fol-
lowing the spelling, and taking it for granted that it
must be heard preceding its own sound, incorporated
with zh, ez\ in the pronunciation of g, because the d
precedes the g in the spelling. I give Mr. Sheridan's.
Mr. Walker's, and my pronunciation of the following
words, dreds^e. drudge, grudge, judge, lodge, trudge, as
lollow : — Mi. Sheridan, dredzh', drudzh', grudzh',
dzhudzh', lodzh , trudzh' ; correct ; but the dzh has an
uncouth appearance, though he properly omits the e, as
not being sounded. My pronunciation, drej', druj',
gruj', juj', loj', truj'. Mr. Walker, dredje, drudje,
grudje, judje, lodje, trudjc : three errors ; first, the d
not sounded; second, the e not sounded; third, no
letter marlced as the accented sound ; an omission re-
markable throughout his dictionary, not a single word
of one syllable being marked with an accent, though,
in fact, even the smallest words have an accented letter
— no'haso'; to' has o'; if has f; in' has n'. In fine, I defy
any critic, any teacher, in England, Scotland, or Ire-
land, to prove ^at 1 have advanced, in these assertions
»nd observations, a single one that is incorrect ; and I
clusu them with an expression of my astonishment that,
it did not occur to Mr. Sheridan, that, in order to forji)
a correct pronouncing dictionary of the English lan-
guage, that should be, as it were, a fac-simile repre-
sentation to the eye of the actual pronunciation of its
words, it was necessary to leave out every letter, whe-
ther a simple, or compound mark, in every syllable of
the language, for which the ear does not perceive a
sound, in the usual manner of pronouncing every word,
as he has done in dredzh', drudzh', grudzh', dzhudzh',
lodzh', trudzh', which exactly correspond to mine, given
in a simpler form — drej', druj', gruj', juj', loj', truj'.
I here state a few circumstances connected with the
publication of 31r. Sheridan's and Mr. Walker's dic-
tionaries, and the discontinuance of the former, of
which no persons, except the publishers of the latter,
could be aware. Mr. Sheridan's dictionary was first
published in 1780, and printed for J. Dodsley, Pail Mall,
C. Dilly, in the Poultry, and J. Wilkie, St. Paul's
Church-yard. Mr. Sheridan died at Margate, in the
arms of his younger son, the late R. B. Sheridan, on
Thursday, the 14th of August, 1788, just eight years
after the publication of his dictionary, which he left in the
hands of a very near relative and his pubhshers, who, in
consequence of some misunderstanding, discontinued it.
Mr. Walker was, at that time, a practical teacher of
elocution in several schools in and about London ; and,
being apprised of these circumstances, was encoura/,ed
by tl"> booksellers to take Mr. Sheridan's dictionary
and form another upon the basis of it ; which, for the last
forty-four years, has been admitted as the standard for a
correct pronunciation of the words of the English
language.
17. In marking all the diphthongs commencing with
the vowel characters e and i, I make use of the letter y,
as sounded e, as in onion, fin-yfin, righteous, ri't-yfis,
instead of those vowel characters.
Concluding Statements, which mark some of the most
striking features that distinguish the Author^ s Dic-
tionary from Mr. Sheridan's, Mr. Walker's, and
every other that has been presented to the Public
since the publication of theirs.
1. A fac-simile of a correct pronunciation of every
word, and the natural division of it into syllables, by the
organs of articulation, is presented to the ear, as well as
to the eye ; for a single letter, vowel or consonant, docs
not appear, in any syllable, for which the ear will not
be able to perceive a sound, in a correct pronunciation
of every word.
2. He has not only followed the example of Dr. Web-
ster, in his American dictionary, in giving all the parti-
ciples and participial explanations of the active transitive
verbs, as distinct words, but he has added to them all
the verbs and their participles, and numbers of other
parts of speech, hitherto only noticed as " not in use,"
or " obsolete," by Johnson, Webster, &c. ; thus sub-
mitting them to the judgment of our prose and poetical
writers to re-introduce them into the language, as still
in use in many parts of England and Scotland, and upon
the principle that, as long as the works of Chaucer,
Spenser, Douglas, Shakspeare, &c. exist, in which they
are to be found, they cannot be considered as obsolete.
3. In the words ab'bess, sum'mer, run'ner, telling,
rob'ber, rob'bing, ful'ler, sob'bir,-g, snap'pish, whip'ping,
— in short, in every word in the English language, in
the spelling of which two consonants come together,
with the accent upon the first, the closeness of the pres-
sure of the organs, as absolutely necessary to form the
accent, renders it impossible to bring them back to the
same contact, without an actual stop, to give them time
to collapse again, in order to repeat the same sound ; in
all such words, therefore, the imagination and the eye
of Mr. Sheridan and Mr. Walker deceived the ear, and
they have in every word given the two consonants in
marking the pronunciation, though only one is hearfj.
which one only is presented to the eye throughout mj
dictionary, upon the general principle already laid down.
To my astonishment, also, I find that, even in words
containing only one accented consonant, both Mr. She-
ridan and Mr. Walker double that consonant, in giving
the pronunciation, as in the words particularity, parti-
cularize, particularly, which they thus mark — par-tiki
ku-ler-ize, par-tik-ku-lor-le, par-tik-ku-lar'it-c ; m-

glead of per-tik-u-lariit-e, per-tikiu-ler-le, per-tik-u-
ler-iz ; abol'ish, anal'ogy, a-bol-lish, a-nal-lo-gy ;
pronunciations grossly inconsistent with the freedom of
articulation and the correctness of pronunciation.
4. It has been already stated, that even the smallest
words of one syllable, such as, as', in', if, no', to', do',
not', which, as Home Tooke has shown, are absurdly
called particles, have each an accented letter ; and Mr.
Sheridan, the first and the only writer that ever ex-
plained and exemplified the true nature of our accent
tind emphasis, has accordingly marked every word of
one syllable by its distinguished accented letter. On
the contrai'y, it is a singular fact, that Mr. Walker has
not, in a single word of one syllable throughout the
language, marked an accented letter. This leads me to
my statement that,
3th. As in most syllables in our language ending in
e, preceded by another vowel, as ate, ite, ote, nte, the
first vowel is long, and the latter, or last, not sounded,
according to my general rule, I omit the terminating e,
and place the accentual mark aft«r the preceding vowel,
thus, b4't, hd't, dd't, m4't, fd't, ri't, n6't, instead of
bate, hate, date, mate, rale, 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
liian the accented syllables, con' and des'.
Though Mr. Walker does not give ee and doable 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, 6S, tshi^r, tshSSze,
though, in every syllable of the kind, no ear but his
could perceive more than one i, one S.
6. I have already stated that Mr. Sheridan's dic-
tionary was first published in 1780, and that he died in
1 788. His dictionary, as well as Mr. Walker's, pub-
lished in 1791, 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 his developement 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 Mr. Walker's dic-
tionary contained a pure standard of English pro-
nunciation.

From the above specimens it must appear, 1st, that I
do not present to the eye a single letter, in a single syl-
lable, of any word, for which the ear does not perceive
a sound, in the best pronunciation of that word ; 2d,
that, where the perfect ease and freedom of articulation
will allow me, I keep the primitive syllables together,
and make no difficult or unnatural divisions ; 3d, that I
am the first person who has pointed out every diph-
thong in the language ; 4th, that, though Mr. Sheridan
gives double consonants not sounded, and even doubles
single consonants, he marks the accented letter cor-
rectly ; 3th, that he does not corrupt the natural pro-
nunciations as much as Mr. Walker does ; 6th, that he
never absurdly marks the accent, as if it fell upon a
letter not sounded at all, as the e, in caprice', abridge', &c. ,
and never presents an impossibility to the eye, that of two
consonants forming a syllable,as bl,in amiable,capable,&c.
Having closed my observations on the vowel, conso-
nant, and diphthong sounds of the language, I challenge
the closest, the severest criticism, to discover a single
error, except a casual, typographical one, ^n my deve-
lopement of the simple and compound ciCments of
speech ; but I deprecate any attempt at criticism, unless
the critic shall have first satisfied his ear, that, in the
key line of the vowels, he hears exactly the nine vowel
sounds of the English language, of which each is cha-
racteristically different from the other eight, and the
exact sounds represented by w, y, i, u ; or, unless he
can prove that there are fewer, orsiore vowel sounds in
the Lanffuaffe.
It remams now merely to observe, that Chalmers'
Todd's Johnson contains 37,888 words ; Mr. Sheridan's
Pronouncing Dictionary, 40,000; Mr. Walker's, 33,178$

ACCENTS, &c.
Throughout his Dictionary, Dr. Johnson invariably
placed the mark of the acute accent of the Greeks
over the vowel of the accented syllable, and that prac-
tice has been continued to the present day in all edi-
tions of his Dictionary, as Todd's, Chalmers's, and,
I believe, in every other ; a practice which, if foreigners
did not very naturally trust to their ears, not their
eyes, and catch up the sounds of our words, in common
conversation with the natives of England, Scotland,
and Ireland, would have concealed from them the correct
accentual pronunciation of every word in which the
accent is placed, or falls, on the consonant, See Mr.
Sheridan*! exposition of the cause of Dr. Johnson's
doing so, as he has exemplified it in his " Art of
Reading Prose," together with his explanation of the
true nature of our accent, which cannot be given
here.
It will be necessary for foreigners, particularly (he
French, who have not the sound of the Greek theta
in their language, which is marked in the English lan-
guage by t joined to h, to take notice that the aspirated
sound, as in ffieme, flieatre, paQi, with, &c., will be
distinguished from the partly vocal, and partly aspirated
sound heard in thy, then, loathe, &c., by a stroke
across the top of the letters t and h, thus, ^, as often
as it occurs.— See Principles of Pronunciation.
A CRITICAL AND FACSIMILE
PRONOUNCING AND EXPLANATORY DICTIONARY
OF THE
MR. WALKER'S OBSERVATIONS ON THE
LETTER "A."
*OK THE ALPHABETICAL PRONUNCIATION OF THE
LETTER A.
So many profound and ingenious observations have
been made upon this first step to literature, that vo-
lumes might be filled with the erudition that has been
lavished on this letter alone. The priority of place it
claims, in all alphabets, has made it so much the object
of attention, that philologists suppose the foundation of
learning but weakly laid, till the natural and civU his-
tory of the first letter be fully settled.
But, however deep have been their researches into
the origin of this letter, we find no author in our lan-
guage has hitherto attempted to settle the disputes that
have arisen between the natives of England, Ireland,
and Scotland, about the true sound of it, when called
by its name. Instead, therefore, of tracing this cha-
racter through the circles of Gomer, the Egyptian hie-
roglyphics, the mysterious Abraxas, or the Irish Ogum,
I shall endeavour to obviate a difficulty that frequently
arises when it is pronounced in the horn-book ; or, in
other words, to inquire what is the true name of the
first letter of the English alphabet — whether we are to
«ay. Aye, B, C; Ak, B, C; or Aw, B, C.
And first, it will be necessary to consider the nature
of a vowel ; which grammarians are generally agreed
in defining to be " a simple articulate sound, formed by
the impulse of the voice and the opening of the mouth
in a particular manner. " Now, as every vowel by it-
self is sounded long, as nothing but its junction with a
consonant can make it otherwise, it is natural, when
pronouncing this vowel alone, to give it the long open
sound; but as this long open sound is threefold, as
heard in face, father, and water, a question arises, which
of these long sounds shall we adopt as a common name
to the whole species of this letter ? The English make
choice of the a in face, the Irish of that in father, and the
Scotch of that in water. Each party produces words
where the letter a is sounded in the manner they con-
tend for ; but when we demand why one should have
the preference, the controversy is commonly at an end ;
any farther reasons are either too remote or too insigni-
ficant to be produced ; and, indeed, if a diversity of
names to vowels did not confound us in our spelling, or
declaring to each other the component letters of a word,
it would be entirely needless to enter into so trifling a
question as the mere name of a letter ; but when we
nnd ourselves unable to convey signs to each other, on
account of this diversity of names, and that words them-
selves are endangered by an improper utterance of their
component parts, it seems highly incumbent on us to
attempt an uniformity in this point, which, insignificant
as it may seem, is undoubtedly the foundation of a just
and reguar pronunciation.
The first rule for naming a letter, when pronounced
alone, seems to be this : Whatever sound we give to a
letter when terminating a syllable, the Fame sound ought
to be given to it when pronounced alone ; because, in
both cases, they have their primary, simpie sound, un-
influenced by a succeeding vowel or consonant ; and,
therefore, when we pronounce a letter alone, it ought
to have such a sound as docs not suppose the existence
of any other letter. But wherever a terminates a syl-
lable with the accent upon it, (the only state in which
it can be said to be pure,) it has always the English
sound of that letter. The only exceptions to this rule
are, the words fu-ther, master, and ica-ter ; and that
these are merely exceptions appears from the uniformity
with which the a is pronounced otherwise in parent,
papal, taper, fatal, &c. The other vowels have their
names exactly similar to the sound they have in a simi-
lar situation, as the e like that in ine-grim, the i like
the i in ti-tle ; the o as the o in no-ble, and the u like
the u in tu-tor. Thus, as it appears from the general
analogy of pronunciation, that the sound of the a, which
the English adopt, is the only one that does not neces-
sarily suppose the existence of any other sound, it in-
evitably follows that theirs only is the proper appellation
of that letter.
But, there is another analogy by which we may de-
termine the true sound of the vowels when pronounced
singly ; and that is, the sound they have when preserved
long and open by the final e. Thus we call the letter e
by the sound it has in theme, the letter i as it sounds in
time, the letter o as heard in tone, and the m as in tune ;
and why the letter a should not be pronounced as heard
in face cannot be conceived, as each of the other vowels
has, like a, a variety of other sounds, as they are united
with letters which, in some measure, alter their quality.
In consequence of entertaining a different idea of the
a, when pronounced in the alphabet, we see the natives
of Ireland very prone to a different pronunciation of the
words where this letter occurs ; and, indeed, it is quite
consistent with their doctrine of the sound of a, that
the words parent, papal, taper, and fatal should be
pronounced pah-rent, pah-pal, tah-per, and fah-tal.
We find the Scotch, likewise, inclinable to the same
pronunciation of a, when in words, as when alone.
Thus we hear Sawtan for Satan, saw-cred for sacred,
and law-ity for laity ; and this is perfectly consistent
with the manner in which they pronounce the letter a,
when alone : there is no medium. If this be not the
true pronunciation of these words, the a is certainly to
be sounded as the English do : for, whenever the Eng-
lish give the Italian sound, as it may be called, to the
a, except in the words father and master, it is always
in consequence of its junction with some consonant,
which determines it to that sound ; as in monosyllables
terminating in r, as bar, car, far ; but where it is not
affected by a succeeding consonant, as in the words poi-
rent, papal, natal, fatal, we then hear it pronounced
as the slender English a, both in and out of composition.
It will, perhaps, be objected, that the most frequent
13
sliort sound of a, as heard in cat, rat, mat, carry, marry,
parry, is the short sound of the Italian a in father car,
mar, par, and not the short sound of the a in care,
niare, pare ; but it may be answered, that this want of
correspondence between the name of the letter, and the
most frequent short sound, is common to the rest of the
vowels : for the o, as heard in cot, not, rot, is not the
short sound of the o in coat, note, wrote, but of the a
in water, or of the diphthongs in caught, naught, and
wrought; and if we ought to call the a, ah, because its
short sound corresponds to ah, for the very same reason
we ought to call the o, au ; and a similar alteration must
take place with the rest of the vowels. As therefore,
from the variety of sounds the vowels have, it is impos-
sible to avoid the inconvenience of sometimes sounding
the letter one way in a syllable, and another way in a
word, we must either adopt the simple long sound when
we would pronounce the letter alone, or invent new
names for every different sound in a different word, in
order to obviate the difficulty.
It must not be dissembled, however, that the sound
of a, when terminating a syllable not under the accent,
seems more inclined to the Irish than the English «,
and that the ear is less disgusted with the sound of Ah-
mer-i-cah than of A-mer-i-cay : but to this it may be
answered, that letters not under the accent, in a thou-
sand instances, deviate from their true sound ; that the
vowel a, like several other vowels in a iin^J syllable not
accented, has an obscure sound, bordering on u ; but if
the a, in this situation, were pronounced ever so dis-
tinctly, and that this pronunciation were clearly the a
in father, it would be nothing to the purpose : when
the a is pronounced alone, it may be said not only to be
a letter, but a distinct character, and a noun substan-
tive ; and, as such, has the same force as the letters in
an accented syllable. The letter a, therefore, as the
first character in the alphabet, may always be said to
have the accent, and ought to have the same long, open
sound, as is given to that letter when accented in a syl-
lable, and not influenced in its sound by any preceding
or succeeding consonant.
" We may therefore conclud ";.. that if all vowels, when
pronounced alone, are accente i laid long, if spelling be
the pronunciation of letters elone, (as it would be ab-
surd to suppose ourselves acquainted with the different
consonants that determine the sound of tbg vowels
before they are pronounced,) it follows, that i». CDelling,
or repeating the component parts of a word, w^ ought
to give those parts their simple and uncombined sound :
but there is no uncombined sound of the vowel a, except
the slender sound contended for, unless in the words
father and master,- and, therefore, when we repeat
letters singly, in order to declare the sound of a word,
we must undoubtedly give the first letter of the alphabet
the sound we ever give it in the first syllable of the nu-
merous class la-dy, pa-gan, ma-son, ha-sin, &c.
" Thus, after placing every objection in its strongest
light, and deducing our arguments from the simplest
and clearest principles, this important question seems at
last decided in favour of the English ; who, independent
of the arguments in their favour, may be presumed to
have a natural right to determine the name of the letter
in (juestion, though it has been so often litigated by
their formidable and learned, though junior, relations.
For though, in some cases, the natives of Ireland and
Scotland adhere rather more closely to analogy than
the English themselves, yet in this we find the English
pronunciation perfectly agreeable to rule ; and that the
slender pronunciation of the letter a, as they pronounce
it in the alphabet, is no more than giving it that simple
aound it ever has, when unconnected with vowels or
consonants that alter its power. "
The broad sound resembling that of the German a h
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 pronunciation is
indeed found in rath, but not in its derivative rather,
the a of which is usually uttered as in fancy. A slender,
or close, is the peculiar a of the English language, re-
sembling the sound of the French e masculine, or diph-
thong at in pais, or perhaps a middle sound between
them, or between the a and the e ; to this the Arabick
a is said nearly to approach ; as in the words place,
face, waste, and all those that terminate in ation ; as
relation, nation, generation. A is also, in some words,
transient and unobserved, as in the last syllable of car-
riage and marriage ; in others less faintly sounded, as
in those ■ of captain and chaplain ; and in some ob-
scurely uttered, as in collar, jocular. A, an article set
before nouns of the singular number ; a man, a tree.
Before words beginning with a vowel and h mute, it is
written an ; as, an ox, an egg, an honour, an habitual
practice. A is sometimes a noun ; as, a great A. A
is placed before a participle, or participial noun ; and is
considered as a contraction of at ; as, I am a walking.
It also seems to be anciently contracted from at, vphen
placed before local surnames ; as, Thomas a Becket.
In other cases, it seems to signify to ; and in some cftses
it signifies in. A, prefixed to many or few, implies one
whole number ; as, Told of a many thousand warlike
French. — Shnks. A has a peculiar signification, de-
noting the proportion of one thing to another ; as, The
landlord hath a hundred a year. In burlesque poetry,
it lengthens out a syllable, without adding to the sense ;
as, line-a, rhyming to China. — Dryden. A is some-
times corruptly put for he ; as, will a come ? for will he
come? It is also a barbarous corruption for have. A,
in composition, seems to have sometimes the power of
the French a in these phrases, a droit, a gauche, &c. ,
and sometimes to be contracted from at. Dr. Johnson
says ; as, aside, aslope, afoot, asleep, athirst, aware.
Yet some of these are not so contracted. They are the
same as on side, on foot, on sleep. So adays was for-
merly written on days ; aboard, on hoard. There are
words of which the a is become so component a part as
not to be displaced ; as, afresh, alive, aloud, anew ; but
it is redundant in arise, arouse, awake. A, in abbre-
viations, stands for artium, or arts; as A.B., bachelor
of arts, artium haccalaureus ; A.M., master of arts, ar-
tium magister ; or anno ; as A.D., anno domini. A,
with the addition of the two Latin words per se, mean-
ing hy itself, is used by our elder writers to denote a
nonesuch. It may have been adopted from the custom
of the child's school, in which every letter, we may pre-
sume, was taught to be expressed per se."
The following are the Observations of Mr. Todd, or
Mr. Chalmers, on the letter A, as taken from Todd's
Johnson's Dictionary :
" A, has, in the English language, regularly only two
•ouuds peculiar to itself ; a short and a long one ; all
other sounds being irregular ; and those of a are va-
riooi, according to its combination with other letters.
MY OBSERVATIONS ON THE LETTER " A," AND ALSO ON
THE OBSERVATIONS OF MR. WALKER, AND THOSE
CONTAINED IN TODd's JOHNSON's DICTIONARY, AS
JUST GIVEN.
3
A. The first letter of the alphabet ; so pronounced
by the English in naming it, in the alphabet, in spelling,
and, in every word of one syllable, and in every syllablte
of words in which it precedes the letter &, not sounded,
as in dee, bdse, else, dilce, fice, rSce, hilste, w^ste ; in
short, in every word and syllable of similar construction ;
and, in every vford of more than one syllable, in which
it ends the syllable, with the accent upon it, as in ma-
tron, pdtron, Sdtan, Ddthan ; &c., except the words
f3,ther, Mpti, mimS., and perhaps a few others.
Mr. Walker has given the preceding note on this
letter, and its sounds ; and, his reasonings, as to its
being called k, in the alphabet, rest particularly on the
facts, that, in va-t numbers of words, and syllables, it is
pronounced as we have both stated ; but, notwithstand-
ing these facts, he has not proved how it happened,
that the Saxons, or English, came to call it I, or decide
that it should be so pronounced, and not S,, as the Irish
used to call it ; and, as many of them continue to call
it, not only in the alphabet, but, whenever it ends 'a
svllable, with the accent upon it, as in pil'tron, mi'tion ;
or, IS the Scotch used to pronounce it, as in Si'tan,
sA ired, li'ity, according to Air. Walker's instances, as
here taken from his note. For the fact of its being
calU'd k, by the English, in repeating the alphabet, he
is totally unable to account ; and, notwithstsmding his
assertion that " volumes might be filled with the erudi-
tion that has been lavished on this letter alone," eru-
dition by the way, so profound, that, it has left the
question in " darkness visible ;" I apprehend that, the
oai'kness will never be dispersed ; for, there is no proof
on which to rest anything like a conclusion ; or, to
show, that, our Saxon grammarians, or, changing the
name, our English, after them, or, the mass of the
people, adopted the name, and the general sound of it
in the instances already given, from the Celtic (pro-
nounced keltic) language of the Britons, whom they
conquered, and rooted out ; and still less reason is there
to suppose, that they adopted the name from the lan-
guage of their Norman conquerors, from any affection
they had for them, or knowledge of their language, in
the pronunciation of whose alphabet, the letter is pro-
nounced i, as in our word 4'11.
By the same analogy of pronunciation, as when the
accent is on the letter 4 in words of one syllable, or in
syllables in which e ends the syllable ; and in words of
more than one syllable, the letter e, as in e've, is always
pronounced 6, as in rd're, cS're, me're, the'me, sche'me,
adhS're, cohere, dS'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
^, 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 i, as
in father, or 4, as in 411, and the other e as in 6ve, and
not h. as in there, pronounced th4re; there can be little
doubt, that, the general rec-'rrence of the sounds d, in
ice, and &, in eve, was th- 'eason, why, in naming
them in the alphabet, and, in -•jelling, they pronounced
them d and e.
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 different sounds d, 4, 4, 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 4,
and, it will be perceived that he marks it by adding the
mark of aspiration to the vowel a, thus, ah, as if he
couid not have represented it, as a vowel, by the 4
alone with his figure of 2 over it, to denote its sound as
in f4r, 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-tal ; and
again in Ah-mer-i-cah ; and though the fact must be
admittwi, that, the mass of the poorer orders of Irish-
men, pronounce parent, fatal, papal, with the sound of
& in 4rt, I do not think that, any person has ever heard
the, most ignorant of them pronounce the word taper as
either t4h-per, or t4-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
them 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 4 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 m4'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), iiid
pronounce their words more distinctly, without adding,
or leaving out, or changing, the sounds of consonants,
than numbers of ihe provincial English ; and those who
may be properly called cockneys in London. I here
leave Mr. Walker, and his note, to the judgment of the
reader ; and proceed to mal;e 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 that of the
German 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, 4,
in 4'rt, and 4 in at', the only difference between which
is, that the accent on the 4 in 4'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, insteeid
of pointing them out himself; and exemplifying them
by the accuracy of his own ear. Now the sound 4, is
found both in father, and rather, if the accent be laid on
the a, sounded 4, and not d, as some persons sound it,
rd'ther ; and, if the word be divided as rath-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 fd'st, but short in fan'cy ; and, unless the
difference in quantity constitutes obscurity, there is no
more obscurity in the 4 in fan'cy, than in f4'ther ; and,
there cannot be any in fa'st, simply, because, the vowel
is as long, and as full, in this word, as in fa'ther ; and
the same diflference of quantity is observable in r4'th,
and rath'er, and fan'cy, the sound being the same, but,
the difl"erence 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 4,
in the four words, fa'ther, r4th'er, fan'cy, fa'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 soimcl,
in diflferent words. Of this he gives demonstrative
proofs in saying, '* A, is also, in some words transient,-
and unobserved, as in the last sj'Uables of carriage, and
marriage ;" (he should have said the last syllable, 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 chsplain, and, in some obscurely uttered, ais
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 could
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 ; kar-ij, m4r-
ij ; the demonstrative fact being, that, m, a, r, with the
accent on the r', are the only soimds heard in the first
syllable ; !, j, the only sounds heard in the latter, m4r-5j ;
the same in the pronunciation of carriage, k4r-ij, k, 4, r',
!, j, the three simple sounds heard in the first syllable ;
the short sound i, represented by i, and the compound
,'ound dzii, represented by j, the only sounds heard in
tne latter sylkble ; as also in the latter syllable of the for-
mer — "less faintly sounded, (says he, ) as in captain, chap-
lain — obscurely uttered in some, as in collar, jocular."
15
Here is a discovery indeed ! nay, here are two dis-
coveries ; the one, of a less faintly sounded in the words
captain and chaplain, than in marriage and carriage ;
and the other, of the same sound a, 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 §,, it contains it, as a sleeping partner, in the form
of the whole word. It does not contain the sound i, or
& for which It may have been intended to stand in the
pronunciation of the syllables ; but, in place of either i,
or S., the short sound almost always represented by i, is
substituted in its place, in the actual pronunciation of
captain, and ch*aplain, which is this, tshap-lin, kap-t!n ;
and in cellar, jocular, the short sound represented by ^
is substituted, the syllable being pronounced ^r, kW-^r,
Sfcl-^r, only one 1, also, being sounded in each. If in-
deed the syllables be pedantically divided, and pro-
nounced thus, tshlp-li'n, kap-ti'n, kil-lar', sSl-lar',
then indeed the sound k would be heard, in the former
two words, instead of the sound k, which is never heard
in the pronunciation of the most pedantic stickler for
sounding every letter that appears in a word ; and, the
sound i, would be heard in pronouncing sel-lS,r, 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 judgment, 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 persons, 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
step of the temple of literary knowledge, undertakes, by
the sense of seeing, to prove to those who arc about to
enter it with him, that certain words, which are in-
scribed on its portal, contain, in their last syllable, a
certain vowel 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 us 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 S, or has the letter n added to it, as
a man, a hone, an hostler, an egg, an ear, an eye, on
16
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, 8 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. Before the diph-
thongs beginning with y, that is, ^ ; 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 8, f, -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 difBculty 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 will take the trouble to
say an word, an year, an useful thing, the letter u in
the word useful representing a diphthong composed of
the sounds e and 5, 58, u. For a contrary reason the
diphthongs beginning with k in ill, as M, the sounds
which produce i, and kf>, and i^, as in 6flnce, 6'^S■1, 6i1,
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 ie and i6, 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 w ord, or syllable possesses those
diphthongs, commencing with a, and ending with e,
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 o
Todd's .Johnson, 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 h3,-bit-u-ill ;
and I say that it is an easier articulation to say, an ha-
bitual, than a habitual.

eu is formed by almost closing the points of the lips,

movement or action of the voice upon the lips, which

the breath ; but is, in fact, a pure vowel, and pro-
duced without any the slightest actual con' act of the
lips, it is impossible to represent its exact sound by

either & or 6. The nearest approach that can be
made to its sound is, to push the lips out to a point,
and sound iS, and running the L 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 aU, 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.

E has two sounds ; long, as scene, and short, as men. E
is the most frequent vowel in the English language ;
for it not only is used like the rest, but has the peculiar
quality of lengthening the foregoing vowel : as cajt,
cane; man, mane — Johnson. When it ends a word, or
syllable, it is never sounded, unless it be accented, or
form a syllable with a consonant preceding it in
the same syllable ; therefore, not being sounded in
such syllables as cane, mane, it may be said that it
shows, not makes, the preceding to be long. — J. K.

I, i', or 4.6, n. Is in English considered both as a

— J.K.
I, vowel, has a long sound, as fine, thine, which is
usually marked by an e final ; and a short sound, as
fin, thin. Prefixed to e, it makes a diphthong of the
same sound with the soft i, or double e, ee : thus,
Jield, yield, are spoken asfeeld, yeeld; except /r/'wiJ,
which is spoken /renri. Subjoined to a ore, it makes
them long, as fuil, neigh ; and to o, makes a mingled
sound, which approaches to the notion of a diphthong,
as oil, coin. The sound of i before another i, and at
the end of a word, is always expressed by y — Johnson.
There is only one vowel sound in field, fc'ld. " Oi,
352
oil, coin, approaches to the notion of a diphtnong."

in order to avoid the double sound of sh in the same

nunciation of all, as I have done in a number of other
words ; but the above words are in so common, every-
day use, that I fear the inveteracy of custom could not
be overcome by any showing of mine, that the sound
of the s is easier to the organs, and more agreeable to
the ear ; and therefore I have admitted the sh, because
that, in my corrections, I war not so much with
general custom, as with absolute vulgarity, absurdity,
and the pedantry of distorting words, such as edu-
cate, from the simplicity of the spelling, by substi-
tuting a difficult compound sound, formed of a conso-
nant and a single vowel, in the place of a diphthong
of the most striking euphony, which, with perfect
ease to the organs of articulation, follows the sound
of d, making the pronunciation of the whole word
pleasing to the ear, without any alteration of the letter

s.
S, h^. Has in English the same hissing sound as in other
languages, and unhappily prevails in so many of our
words that it produces in the ear of a foreigner a con-
tinued sibilation. In the beginning of words it has
invariably its natural and genuine sound : in the
middle it is sometimes uttered with a stronger appulse
of the tongue to the palate, like z ; as rose, roseate,
tost/, osier, nosel, resident, busy, business. It some-
times keeps its natural sound; as loose, designatioti.
In the end of monosyllables it is sometimes s, as in this:
and sometimes z, as in as, lias ; and generally where es
stands in verbs for eth, as gives.' — Walker. The above
assertion of a " continued sibilation " is a very great
mistake, arising from the grossest ignorance of the
actual pronunciation of our words, and of pronuncia-
tion in general, as a part of every language ; and the
absolute fact is, that the English language does not
abound so much in the sound of s, as either the Greek
or Roman ; and that, in hundi-eds of syllables, in
which foreigners suppose it to be sounded s, it is
really sounded z. Beside this, in the third person
singular, of every verb, it is sounded z ; and in the
double s, in great numbers of syllables it is sounded
ezh, or esh, and the single s also, as in vision, de-
cision, salesman, vtzh^fln, de-sizh-tin, sdlzmiln, and
in the plurals of almost all nouns, it is sounded
z. Reader, try thousands of plurals. It is con-
trary to all harmony, and the rules of accent ; it
is in fact barbarous in articulation, to dwell upon the
sound of any consonant, when it commences a word,
for this simple reason, that no consonant, nor union
of consonants, as in strength', stri've, grind, ground', at
the commencement of a syllable, can be dwelt on
without disgusting a nice, and judicious musical car ;
because it, or t/iey. cannot be accented ; the consonant,
invariably, throughout our nervous, beautifully con-
structed language, always ending the syllable. How-
ever, therefore, the admirers of a late celebrated actor
may have been pleased with his invariably grinding
out such consonants, I hesitate not to say, in the very
teeth of ignorance of verbal criticism, that the cus-
tom was barbarous in the extreme ; and that a Greek,
or Roman audience, would 1 ave hissed him off the
stage, as Demosthenes was linscd till he reformed bis
pronunciation. The s, therefore, or any other con-
sonant, or combination of consonants, is never dwelt
on by good English speakers when it begins a word ;
and, when it is followed by any vowel, or diphthong,
it flows sweetly into that vowel, or diphthong, as if it
were itself a vowel, as in s4.1t, s>^det', siting', sv^im',
sVif^'ep, s^i'rm, &c. — J. K.

evincing a io;al ignorance of the very nature and powers
of the simple sounds, and letters as their signs, and of
the actual reason for calling some semivowels, some
mutes, Ike. The simple fact is, that the semivowels are
so called, in contradistinction to the mutes, because the
organs can be kept together, almost at pleasure, in
pronouncing them, as, ef, el, em, en, er, es, ez, esh,
ezh, ing, esh, eth ; whereas, in pronouncing the mutes,
as ob, ed, eg, ek, ep, et, the organs cannot be kept
together, at pleasure ; and in pronouncing three of
them, ek, ep, et, they cannot be kept together for the
smallest space of time ; and the attempt to prolong
their sounds by keeping the organs together, pro-
duces absolute silence. The semivowels are therefore
so called, as comparing them v;ith the long vowels,

WORM, 6flrm', vt. To drive by slow and secret

[Whoever was the author of this additional and sati-
rical no-explanation of the term " Worm," as ap-
plied to a dog, he has only shown his own absurdity,
by the positive assertions he has made of the non-ex-
istence of an operation of which he is totally ignorant.
The fact is, that there is a round, white, soft nerve,
of about an inch and nearly a half long, that lies not
far from the point of the under part of a dog's tongue,
which the compiler of this dictionary has often re-
moved ; and the positive effect of which removal is,
that though the dog may be bitten by a mad dog, he
will not bite any person ; but I am not certain whe-
ther his being wormed, as it is called, will prevent
him from going mad. Take a puppy, or a small dog,
between your knees, — the back of his head must of
course be undermost ; and take firm hold of the point
of his tongue with a towel, to prevent the tongue
from slipping through your fingers ; then, with a
sharp pointed penknife, or a lancet, make a small
longitudinal incision of the skin that lies over th<!
nerve, sufficient to uncover it, and allow you to im-
mediately put a wire, or single prong fork, crosswise
under the nerve. Not removing the fork, then with
your right hand thumb, and first finger, with or with-
out a cloth, move the fork along from you till you
uncover the nerve at the extreme point from you, and
then lay aside the fork, and with your thumb and
finger, take hold of the end of the nerve \f hich you
have uncovered, and draw it towards you, and you
will immediately free the end next to you, and draw
the whole nerve out. A puppy so wormed will not
tear every thing that comes in his way ; and a large-
dog, being properly held by an assistant, may b(.'
wormed in the same way, and with the same ease. —

There is a peculiar, and fine-sounding diphthong, terminating a number of Hebrew wovds, which I have
marked by uniting in the middle, and last syllable of many words, the vowels ii— the sounds being ki—ki,
ending in fact in ai. The English have not such a diphthong.
The obstacles to ascertaining the true pronunciation of the Scripture Proper Names are these. First,
it is not known whether the Bible is written in Hebrew, Chaldee, or a dialect formed from both. Secondly,
the Jews themselves confess that they know not the true power of the letters ; and that, the ancient pronun-
ciation is lost. Thirdly, the learned generally acknowledge one letter to be doubtful, and differ about others.
Fourthly, many of the Scripture Names have been so perverted to suit the Latin, or Greek orthography, that
it is useless to give the true pronunciation even when known : as, for instance, Shomeron, (now written
Samaria, and generally pronounced, by the clergy, Sama'ria, as I have accented it on the letter a, but, by
some, Samari'a, with the acent on the i,) and many others. Amidst these difficulties, I have contented
myself with following the common usage of well-educated men ; and any Hebrew scholar who wishes to be
singular can follow his own fancies ; and, under these circumstances, easily defend them.
It is to be observed, that the Ancients never laid an accent on a consonant, upon which their acute,
grave, and circumflex, could not possibly fall. But we, in consequence of the ancient pronunciation beir^
almost entirely lost, frequently accent the consonants, in our pronunciation of Latin and Greek, agreeablv
to the nature of our own accent ; to which we frequently make the Latin and Greek conform.
