 Spelling Books, as they are designed to comiTinnicate 
 i'nstruction to youth, should be judicious in system, anc^ 
 if possible, perfect in Orthography. 
 
 A knowledge of our language requires a very "considera- 
 ble portion of the time and intellectual labours of youth. 
 The ultimate success of these labours has an immediate 
 aorency in the events, on which depend individual and 
 publick happiness ; hence the importance of facilitating 
 the means of youthful improvement. This is best ef- 
 fected by a judicious and methodical arrangement of the 
 principles to be acquired. 
 
 Much care and expense have been bestowed on this 
 work ; and, it is hoped, not without some improvements. 
 Wiiile it would appear invidious, in the author, to expose 
 Ihe faults of other books, it might seem arrogant to urge 
 loo c7)nfidently, the American Instructor on publick con.- 
 Sisideralion. 
 
 ^ It must be obvious to every Parent and Teacher, that 
 ^lementary books, particularly those used in our common 
 >• schools, should be as cheap and as clear, and well digested 
 in system, as the nature of the subject will admit; in 
 reference to this object, the work here offered to the pub- 
 lick is divided into two Rooks ; the first called the Child's 
 ;<? Instructor, is accommodated to the wants of beginners; 
 if:the second, called the American Instructor, contains a 
 "great collection of the difhcult words of our language, and 
 'some plain, yet instructive reading lessons, and is suited 
 to pupils of some advance in an education : by thi^ division 
 the business of teaching is rendered more easy and pleas- 
 ^ant, and that of learning more simple, and less expensive, 
 :   One of the most important points in the plan of a 
 U^Spelling Book is syllabication. Different authors have 
 followed different methods in dividing Mords into sylla- 
 bles ; the true object of which is to assist the learner in 
 lightly apprehending the exact pronunciation. Walker's 
 opinion on this subject is, that " the best and easiest rule 
 
 -2 420846
 
 for dividing the syllables in spelling, is to divide them as 
 they are naturally divided in a right pronunciation, with- 
 out regard to the derivation of words, or the possible com- 
 bination of consonants, at the beginning of a syllable." 
 We make use of figures to represent the different vowel 
 sounds. Sometimes one letter takes the sound of an- 
 other ; in such cases, we use the particular letter which 
 will best represent the sound ; for ini^tance, the sound of 
 0, in love, is clearly indicated by the letter v, placed over 
 it. Letters are, therefore, placed over other letters, whether 
 vowels, consonants, or diphthongs, whose sounds they re- 
 present. In those instances, where the learner would be 
 liable to mistake the true sounds off, g, s, they are collo- 
 cated into tables, and marked with the proper representaT 
 live letter. 
 
 It will be ob.served, that the figures are in all instances 
 placed over the accented vowel, and that the letters have 
 ao reference to accent, but are placed over their constitu- 
 ent letters, as they occur in the first word ; for example, 
 on the 4Sth page, c occurs in tlie penultimate syllable of 
 the word ascriick, and is under s, its representative ; but 
 in the succeeding word, c is found in the last syllable, and 
 without any obscurity to the system. The use of these 
 f!f{ifrcs and Utters, unquestionably, gives an easy guide to 
 correct pronunciation. 
 
 Words alike in syllables, accent, sounds, or termi- 
 nation, are collected toffetlier. The difHcult words in the 
 Heading I.c.-sons are collected in colunuis for the learner, 
 to spell and pronounce before reading ; tliis practice will 
 very much assist in this new and unaccustomed task. 
 
 The elementary principles of the language, and so 
 much exemplificatinn of the same, as appeared necessary 
 to form a Key, are in this work arranged and numbered in 
 the beginning of the book : References are made to the^^e, 
 by the use of figures; thus the figure, (0,) in the body 
 of the book, refers to the same figure, in the princi- 
 ples. Some clear and correct notions of the abstract prin- 
 ciples of our language are essential to the acquisition, 
 even of a common education ; and these are dillicult to be 
 obtained, without system ; to promote which, as well as. 
 in general, the best means of cultivating the youthful mind, 
 lias received the Author's patient and assiduous consider- 
 ation.
 
 THE ELEMENTS 
 
 OF 
 
 iSngltsi) SJronttnn'ettfom 
 
 1. The English Alphabet is composed of twenty-six 
 letters, viz : a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, 1, m, n, o, p, q, 
 r, s, t, u, V, vv, X, y, z. 
 
 2. These are divided into vowels and consonants. 
 
 3. A vowel makes a perfect sound of itself, and is 
 formed by a continued effusion of the breath. The 
 vowels are a, e, i, o, n, w, and y. 
 
 4. Two vowels, forming but one syllable, are called a 
 diphthong, and three, a triphthong. They are the follow- 
 ing ; ae, ai, ao, au, aw, ay, ea, ee, ei, eo, eu, ew, ey, ia, 
 ie, io, oa, oe, oi, oo, on, ow, oy, ue, ui, uy, aye, eau, ewe, 
 ieu, lew, oeu, owe, uoi. (52.) 
 
 5. A consonant makes an imperfect sound of itself, and 
 is formed by an interruption of a vocal sound. The 
 consonants are, b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, 1, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, 
 X, z. These are divided into mutes, semi-vowels, and 
 liquids. 
 
 6. The mutes make no sound without a vowel. They 
 are b, p, f, d, k, q, and c and g hard. 
 
 7. The semi-vowels make a sound without the concur- 
 rence of a vowel. They are/, v, s, z, x, g soft or J. 
 
 8. The liquids flow into, or unite easily with the mutes' 
 They are I, m, n, r. 
 
 9. The consonants are again divided into sharp and 
 flat, simple and mixed. The sharp are p, f, t, s, k, c 
 hard. The flat are 6, v, d, z, g hard. Tlie simple are 
 those that hold their own sound unmixed with any other : 
 as b, p,f, V, k, g. The mixed are those that have some- 
 times a hiss joined with them, and that mingle with the 
 sound of another letter not expressed, and thereby assume' 
 a sound different from their own ; as t, in vioiion., like 
 moslion. See p. 113. 
 
 10. There is another division of consonants, which 
 arises from the peculiar action of the organs in forming 
 <hem, viz : the labials, dentals, gutturals, and nasals. 
 The labials are 6, j.', /, v ; the dentals are f, d, s, z, and •
 
 o 
 
 u 
 
 ?6tt ^ or j; the gutturals arc Z-, g, c, and g iiard ; the 
 nasals are ?», n, and ?ig. See j>. 109. 
 
 Quant it y and Qi.nl/ft/ of the Vowd So7inrh. 
 
 11. In order to acquire a correct tmderstanding of tlir 
 powers of letters, as tliey stand differently affected by 
 each other, it is necessary to consider tlie influence of 
 accent over the sounds of letters. Mr. AValker has very 
 justly remarked, that there is a relaxation or feebleness of 
 sound, which succeeds the accent, and which naturally 
 sufTers the letters to slide into a dilTerent sound, a little 
 easier to the organs of pronunciation. Thus the first a 
 in cabbage, is pronounced distinctly with the true sound 
 of that letter, while the second a, goes into an obscure 
 sound bordering on the ? short. 
 
 12. In the same manner a, f, i, o, and y, coming before 
 r, in a final unaccented syllable, go into an obscure sound, 
 very nearly to that of y short ; as martyr, pronounced 
 mariar. See p. 31. 
 
 13. The consonants also are no less altered in their po- 
 sitions, than the vowels. The A and s, in the composition 
 of x, when the accent is on them, as in (xcrcisc, &c. pre- 
 serve their strong and pure sound ; but when the accent is 
 on the second ^yllable, as in eoract, &lc. the x slides fnto the 
 duller and weaker sounds of g and z, which are easier to 
 be pronounced. See p. US. 
 
 14. The soft r, the .«, and t before a diphthong, slide 
 into the sound of sfi, when the accent is on the preceding 
 syllable. Seep. 113. 
 
 A. 
 
 15. yt has four sounds. The first is a long open sound, 
 as a in lade, spade, &lc. All the vowels standing alone 
 under the accent, or ending an accented syllable, are long, 
 and can only be short, when followed by a consonant. 
 A is sometimes an exception, as in the last syllables of 
 piam-ma and pa-pa, where it is broad. -The vowels have 
 likewise the long sound, when followed by a single conso- 
 nant and c niMtc, ^s fate, &-c. Tiic exceptions are havc^ 
 ■urr, gape, and bade, the past time of bid. 
 
 16. The second sound of A is short : as a in inan. 
 
 17. The tliird sound of yl is a long broad one, as a in 
 hall. It has always this sound when in the accented syl- 
 lable, aiid followed in that syllable by //, or one /, and
 
 another consonant, except the mute labials ;>, b,f, and v. 
 The exceptions are mostly, words derived from the Arabic 
 and Latin languages ; as salve, Alps, &c. It has this 
 sound, when under the accent and preceded by qu ; as 
 in quart. 
 
 18. The fourth sound is the broad or grave a; as heard 
 in tar. By Walker this sound of a is called the long 
 Italian a, and is inconsistently marked by the same figure 
 (2) he uses to represent the short sounds of c and w. This 
 sound of a is always found before r, in monosyllables ; as 
 car, far, &.c. and before the liquids /, ni; sometimes be- 
 fore ff, Ive, and generally before the sharp dental th, as 
 in bath, &z.c. In most instances, when the unaccented a 
 is final, it has the broad or short sound ; as in idea. 
 
 Irregular Sounds of A. 
 
 19. All the vowels, when not under the accent, fre- 
 quently deviate from their true sounds. A and o, par- 
 ticularly in a final syllable, not accented, have an obscure 
 sound, nearly like that of u. See p. 44. 
 
 20. There are some words, in which custom has given 
 to a, the short sound of e ; as any, many, says — pro- 
 nounced enny, vienny, sez. See p. 96. 
 
 21. A in the numerous termination age, unaccented, 
 nearly approaches the sound of short i. The exceptions 
 to this rule are chiefly words of three syllables, accented 
 on the first ; as vassalage, equipage, &-c. See p. 43. 
 It has sometimes the sound of short o; as in toash. 
 
 E. 
 
 22. E has two sounds. The first is the long sound, as 
 heard in me ; the second ;s the short sourrd, as heard in 
 ()cd,fed. E is always long when it ends a syllabic, except 
 in especial, and a few other words, in which it is short. 
 
 Irregular Sounds of E. 
 
 23. This letter is distinctly sounded at the end of words 
 derived frgm the Latin or Greek languages ; as epitome, 
 simile, &c but at the end of words purely English, it is 
 generally mute, or nearly so. It seems to retain an indis- 
 tinct sound, and the power of making long the preceding 
 vowel, in the same syllable separated by a single conso- 
 uant, as made, hide, &c. 
 
 21. The first e^ in the words xclicrc., there, a'q: aod neVr,
 
 10 
 
 is pronounced like long a, as if written lokare, tliare, oHer, 
 na'cr. 
 
 25. Tlie e in her, is sounded like short u. It has the 
 same sound in all unaccented terminations before r, as 
 irriter, reader, &.c. pronounced writiir, readur. The 
 same is true of final e, preceded by r, in an unaccented 
 syllable, as if it were followed by r, as in lucre, theatre, 
 <Scc. pronounced lu/a/r, thtatur, &,c. See p. 111. 
 
 26. In sergeant, and some other words, the first c is 
 sounded like a. 
 
 27. In i/es, jJretft/, England, the e is pronounced like 
 short i ; and in a final unaccented syllable, it oftou slides 
 into the same sound, as fares, jiott^, women, pronounced 
 faciz, poitz, wimin. See p. 1)7. 
 
 I. 
 
 29. This letter has two sound?. The first is a long 
 sound, as heard in the word time. 
 
 29. The second is a short sound, as heard in bid. 
 
 30. When i ends the first syllable, and the accent is 
 on the second, commencing with a vowel, it is generally 
 long. When bl, tri, eld, cli, ti, or tri makes the first .syl- 
 lable, and the accent is on the second, the i is generally 
 long. The / is generally long in the termirvations ide, 
 ife, &Z.C: The i is long in the last syllable, when the ac- 
 cent is on the last syllable but two. The i is general-k- 
 long in the accented terminations, ite, ive. 
 
 31. The / is generally short in ci,Jj, mi, phi, pi, pli, ri, 
 si and ti, before the accent. The /is short in di before 
 an accented syllable beginning with a consonant; it is 
 often phort. when ending the accented syllable, and tlie 
 next following begins with c soft, or t. 
 
 * Irregular Sounds, of I. . 
 
 32. When i ends an initial syllable, without the accent, 
 and the following syllable begins with a consonant, the i 
 takes the sound of c ,- as in dilate. In monosyllables, the 
 i has often the sound of short e. 
 
 33. i or y preceded by g hard, or h, is sometimes pro- 
 nounced as if an e were inserted between the consonant 
 and the vowel, and faintly sounded; thus kind and sky 
 are pronounced kcind and skey. 
 
 O. 
 
 34. Tlic letter o has four sounds. The first is a long 
 sound, as heard in tone.
 
 n 
 
 35. The second is a short sound, as in not, or lot, 
 3G. The third iy u broad sound, as in or, or north. 
 
 37. The fourtli ib- a sound corresponding to oo, as in move. 
 
 38. The is generally broad before r, in monosyllables. 
 See p. 79. 
 
 Irregular sounds of O. 
 
 39. The letter o generally takes the sound of short u, 
 when succeeded by the liquids m, m, r, or the semi-vowels 
 V, z, th ; as above, come, 6lc. 
 
 40. The 0, sometimes takes the sound of broad u ; as 
 in taoman ; sometimes of short i, as in women. 
 
 41. The is generally suppressed in an unaccented 
 syllable when preceded by c, k, d, p, or s, and followed by 
 w See p. 113. 
 
 U. 
 
 42. The letter n has three sounds. The first is a long 
 sound, as heard in tube. 
 
 43. The second is a short sound, as heard in sun. 
 
 44. The third is a broad sound, as heard in full. 
 
 Irregular Soutids of U. 
 
 45. When u is preceded by r, it takes the sound of oo ; 
 but this sound of u is never formed in words from the 
 learned languages. 
 
 40. U has the sound of i in busy, business ; and the 
 sound of e, in buri/. 
 
 47. Long u in the syllable ure, is generally sounded as 
 if a ?/ preceded it ; but when it follows the soft buzzing 5 
 and the accented syllable, it is sounded as if s/t preceded it. 
 
 W. 
 
 4S. The natural sound of this letter is that of oo as heard 
 in wo, &.C. It has sometimes the irregular sound of 
 broad u as in allote. It is aspirated, when followed by h; 
 as when. Y. 
 
 49. The letter y has two sounds. The first is a long 
 sound ; as in rhyme, and is equivalent to long i. 
 
 50. The second is a short sound, as in system, and is 
 equivalent to short i. 
 
 Irregular sounds of Y. 
 
 51. The unaccented y, at the end of a syllable, like i, 
 in the same situation, takes the sound of long e ; thus^ 
 vanity, pronounced vanitec. TUe only exception to this
 
 12 
 
 rule is, when/ precedes y, in a final syllable, the y is then 
 long, as h\ justify. The y, when used in the word my, 
 without emphasis, is pronounced like e short, {vie.) 
 
 DIPHTHONGS. 
 
 52. A diphthong is two vowel sounds, united and ut- 
 tered by the same emission of breath, so as to form but 
 one syllable ; where two vowels are united and but one 
 of them sounded, it is not, strictly speaking, a diphthong, 
 and is therefore called an Improper Diphthong. 
 
 AE. 
 
 53. The diphthongs ac and oc are nearly out of use in 
 the English, being changed to e, but are retained in the 
 Latin language. This sound is generally like long c, when 
 under the accent ; but when in the first or last syllable, 
 unaccented, it is short. 
 
 AL 
 
 54. This diphthong has generally the sound of long a; 
 «s m plait, (a fold of cloth,) and in said, (when an adjec- 
 tive,) but when said is a verb, the diphthong is lihe short 
 (, and rhymes with bed. See p. 77. 
 
 5o. It is sometimes like short a ; as in plaid, raillery, &i,c, 
 
 56. It is sometimes like short e ; as in again, &lc. 
 
 57. It is like long i, in aisle. 
 
 58. When it is in a final unaccented syllable, the a is 
 tunk, and the i is pronounced short; SLsinmountain, &,c. 
 As feebleness naturally succeeds force, so the vowels im- 
 tnediately after the accent, take such sounds as require 
 the least exertion of the organs to pronounce them. 
 
 AO. 
 
 59. This diphthong occurs only in the word gaol, and 
 has the sound of lonff a. 
 
 AU. 
 
 60. The diphthong au has generally the sound of long 
 broad a ; as heard in ball, hall, &.c. See p. 79. 
 
 61. When this diphthong is followed by n and another 
 consonant, it takes the sound of broad a ; as heard in far, 
 &c. ; thus aunt, &,c. The only exceptions to this sound, 
 are vaunt, avaunt ; in which words the diphthong has the 
 sound of long broad a. See p. 80. 
 
 02. This diphthong has the sound of long o in hautboy ;
 
 13 
 
 of short in cmdifloiver, laurel, laudannm ; and of long 
 a ; as in gauge. 
 
 A W. 
 
 63. The diphthong aw has always the long broad sound 
 of a, as heard in ball. See p. 79. 
 
 AY. 
 
 64. This diphthong has generally the sound of long a, 
 as in pay, «Stc. It has the sound of long e in the word 
 quay, as if written key. See p. 80. 
 
 65. A F, like ai, coming immediately after the accent- 
 ed syllable, drops the first vowel ; thus, monday, cajptain, 
 are pronounced mondy, captin. 
 
 66. A Y has the sound of short c, in says. See p. 83. 
 
 EA. 
 
 67. The most frequent sound of the diphthong ea is 
 that of long c, as in yea. See p. 77. 
 
 68. It has frequently the sound of short e, as in head. 
 
 69. It has sometimes the sound of long a, as in sioear. 
 
 70. This diphthong preceding r, sometimes takes a 
 sound nearly like short u. Its true sound is that of i be- 
 fore r, followed by another consonant ; thus, earth is pro- 
 nounced irlh. 
 
 71. EA is sometimes pronounced like broad a; as in 
 heart ; and sometimes like short a ; as in vengeance. 
 
 EE. 
 
 72. The diphthong ee, in nearly all words, has a compress- 
 ed sound of long e. See p. 77. 
 
 73. It has the sound of short ^, in been, pronounced 
 hin. See p. 80. 
 
 EL 
 
 74. The most frequent sound of this diphthong, is that 
 of long a ; as in deign, feign, &c. See p. 80. 
 
 75. EI has sometimes the sound of long e; as in 
 seize, &/C. 
 
 76. It has but seldom the sound of short e ; as in 
 heifer. 
 
 77. EI has the sound of long i ; as in height, &c. 
 
 78. When this diphthong is unaccented, (like ai,) it 
 drops the sound of the former vowel, and retains the sound 
 of short i ; as in forfeit, 6lc. 
 
 B
 
 14 
 
 EO. 
 
 70. This diphtliong is somotimes pronounced like short 
 e; as in leopard, &.c. It lias the sound of long e, in 
 people. 
 
 80. In Georgich, it has the .sound of broad o; and in 
 yeoman and yeomanry, it has the sound of lojig o. 
 
 81. £0 when unaccented has the sound of short M ; as 
 m surgeon, &lc. See p. 107. 
 
 82. It has sometimes, when unaccented, the sound of 
 short i ; as in scutcheon, &c. See p. 107. 
 
 EU. 
 
 83. This diphthong has the sound of long v, except 
 when it follows r, or ;- and silent h, where it sounds like 
 00 ; as in rheum. 
 
 EW. 
 
 84. The diphthong ev), is generally pronounced like 
 long u ; but when it follows /• or ch, it takes the sound of 
 CO ; as in hrew, &lc. : except in streM and strewn, in which 
 words and in some others, it has the sound of long o. 
 See p. 98. 
 
 EY. 
 
 85. When the accent is on the diphthong, it has the 
 sound of long a, except in key and ley, where it is sound- 
 ed like long e. See p. 80, 100. 
 
 86. EY, unaccented, is pronounced like ce, faintly 
 sounded ; as in valley. The word survey is an exception, 
 and has the sound of long a. See p. 97. 
 
 87. This diphthong has the sound of short i ; as in 
 carriage, &lc. 
 
 88. lA in the terminations ian, ial, iard, and iatf, form 
 but one syllable, still both vowels are sounded ; the former 
 has a sound similar to y, but so faintly and imperfectly 
 sounded, as not to make a distinct syllable. 
 
 IE 
 
 89. This diphthong has generally the sound of long e; 
 as in chief, &c. It has the sound of short c ; as in 
 friend, &lc. 
 
 90. It has sometimes the sound of long ?" ; as in die, 
 &LC. ; and sometimes of short i ; as in sieve. 
 
 91. IE coining after a liquid, frequently form two syl- 
 lables ; as in orient, &.c.
 
 15 
 
 92. IE, in an unaccented termination, has the sound of 
 e, which in this situation is sounded like u. The former 
 vowel, when it follows the accent, may be said to have 
 the sound of y; thus brazier, is pronounced hraze-yitr. 
 
 lO. 
 
 93. When the accent is upon these vowels, they form 
 two syllables, as vi-o-lent ; but when unaccented, and pre- 
 ceded by s or t, the i is generally sunk, and the o pro- 
 nounced as it usually is in this situation, like short u ; if 
 these vowels are preceded by st, the t is sounded tsh, as 
 question, pronounced questshim. See p. 114. 
 
 94. This diphthong sometimes sinks the o, and the i 
 Jakes the short sound ; as in cushion, pronounced cushin. 
 
 95. When these vowels occur in the termination ion, 
 and are preceded by any of the consonants, but s or t, 
 although they make but one syllable, yet they are both 
 sounded separately, as in companion, pronounced coinpan- 
 yun. See p. 117, 
 
 OA. 
 
 96. This diphthong has generally the sound of long o. 
 Ix has the sound of long broad a, in broad, groat, abroad. 
 
 OE. 
 
 97. This diphthong, in all words derived from the 
 learned languages, has the sound of e, and comes under 
 the remarks on that vowel. 
 
 98. In doe, foe, &-c. it has the sound of long o ; in 
 canoe, and shoe, of oo ; and in the verb does, it has the 
 sound of u. See p. 78. 
 
 OI. 
 
 99. The natural and general sound of this diphthong, 
 is that of broad o, and short i, as heard in voice. See p. 80. 
 
 100. The i is sometimes sounded like short e ; some- 
 times like long e, as in chamois. The ^ is long in choir. 
 
 OO. 
 
 101. This diphthong has generally a sound peculiar to 
 itself, like that heard in moon, bloom, room, &c. 
 
 102. It has the sound of long o, in door, &c. ; of broad 
 V, in toool, wood, &c. ; and of short u, in blood, &c. 
 
 OU. 
 
 103. The most frequent sound of this diphthong is
 
 16 
 
 composed of broad o, and broad ?/, and is that heard in 
 bound. See p. 99. 
 
 104. It has sometimes the sound of long o ; as in 
 court, &c. 
 
 105. It has the sound of long broad a, in fought ; of 
 00, in group ; of short u, in adjourn ; of broad u, in could, 
 and of short o, in lough — pronounced lock. See p. 80. 
 
 OW. 
 
 106. The sound of this diphthong is generally that of 
 broad o, and broad u, as heard in bound. It is found in 
 cow, clown, frovm, &.c. See p. 97. 
 
 107. It has frequently the sound of long o; as in rorc, 
 loic. OIF has always this sound, when in a final unac- 
 cented syllable ; as in sorrow. 
 
 OY. 
 
 108. For the sounds of this diphthong, see oi. See p. 99. 
 
 UA. 
 
 109. When the a is sounded, the u has the power of?/', 
 and both are pronounced in one syllable ; thus, antiquate 
 is pronounced ontikwate. This sound always obtains, 
 when the diphthong is preceded by s. The u is some- 
 times nearly silent, retaining but a faint sound ; as in 
 guard. 
 
 UE. ^ 
 
 110. This diphthong coming after $, or (7, and having 
 both vowels sounded, and forming but one syllable, has 
 the u sounded like w ; thus concjucst is pronounced cong" 
 kwest. 
 
 111. UE ending a final syllable, sinks the c, and ob- 
 tains the sound of long u ; as clue, cue, &lc. See p. 78. 
 
 11^. Sometimes the u is sunk, and the e has the short 
 sound ; as in guas. 
 
 113. Tills di])hthong after r, has the sound of 00; as 
 in true. In some words both vowels are sunk ; as in 
 vague. See p. 108. 
 
 UT. 
 
 114. The n in this diphthong, as in ua or ur, is often 
 pronounced like tc. See p. 99. 
 
 115. The u has sometimes the faint sound of c, and the 
 i is pronounced long ; as in guide, &^c. The i is some- 
 t'mes short ; as in guild, &c.
 
 17 
 
 116. Sometimes the i is silent, and the u has the long 
 sound , as in suit. 
 
 117. When this diphthong is preceded by r, it is pro- 
 nounced like 00 ; as in fruit. See p. 125. 
 
 UO. 
 
 118. The u, in this diphthong, is always pronounced 
 like IV ; as in quorum. 
 
 UY. 
 
 119. This diphthong accented, sinks the ?/, and pro- 
 nounces the 1/ like long i, but when not accented, the y 
 iq sounded like long e ; as in plaguy, &c. 
 
 TRIPHTHONGS. 
 EAU. 
 
 120. This triphthong has generally the sound of long 
 0. In the word beauty and its compounds, it has the 
 sound of long u. 
 
 EOU. 
 
 121. These vowels cannot strictly be called a triph- 
 thong, although they are often contracted into one sylla- 
 ble. They are found only in an unaccented syllable, and 
 generally a final one ; when either of the dentals d or t is 
 the next preceding letter, it is coalesced into the sound of 
 j or tch ; thus hideous and piteous are pronounced hijeus 
 and pitcheus. 
 
 EWE. 
 
 122. This triphthong has a faint sound of long e, and 
 the long sound of u, and exists only in the word ewe, a fe- 
 male sheep, 
 
 EYE. 
 
 123. This triphthong has the sound of long /. 
 
 lEU. lEW. 
 
 124. These triphthongs have the sound of long u ; as 
 in adieu, view, &lc. 
 
 lOU. 
 
 12-5. These vowels, when preceded by a liquid, or any 
 mute but a dental, form two syllables ; as in various. 
 When preceded by the dentals t, soft c and s, they make 
 but one syllable ; thus factious is sounded as if written 
 fakshus. See p. 113. 
 
 126. These vowels have the same tendency, as in the 
 R 2
 
 18 
 
 above situation to aspiration after a dental mute ; tedious 
 is pronounced as if written tc-je-us; for it is the natural 
 tendency of </, to slide into the sound of < orj, and to be 
 subject to the same aspiration, when followed by the same 
 vowels. See p. 111. 
 
 OEU. OWE. 
 
 127. The triphthong ocu is found in the French word 
 vionoeuvre, and has the sound of oo. Owe has the sound 
 of long 0, and occurs only in the word owe. 
 
 UAL 
 
 128. U in these vowels has the power of to, and ai that 
 of long a, as in quaint. See p. 77. 
 
 UAY. UEA. UEE. 
 
 129. The combinations of these vowels do not form 
 triphthongs, as the u has always the sound of w, unless it 
 is silent, and ca and ec have the sound of long e as in 
 <juai/, *Scc. See p. SO. 
 
 LOT. UOY. 
 
 130. In uoi, ihe it has the sound of zv, and oi, its natu- 
 ral ."^ound, as heard in quoit. In uoi/, the uo is .sometimes 
 souftded like oo, and liie i/ is generally like long c, as in 
 buoi/. 
 
 OF THE CONSONANTS. 
 JB. 
 
 131. B has always one and the same sound, as in 
 hiic ; it is silent before t, and after m, in the same syllable. 
 The exceptions are accumb, succionb, and suhtitc. See p. 95. 
 
 C. 
 
 132. C has always the power of l-, s, or z ; — of k, before 
 a, 0, and u; of s, before f, i, and >/ ; and of z, in sire, 
 suffice, sacrijicc, discern. It is always hard like k, at the 
 end of a word. Sec p. 82. 
 
 133. C is sometimes silent. 
 
 134. Wiicn c comes after the accent, and is followed by 
 frt, iff, ie, io, or eous, it takes the sound of sh ; thus ocean 
 is pronounced oshean. See. p. 113. 
 
 D. 
 
 135. D has generally the same sound; but in verbs 
 ending in cd, in the past time, after c, /, k, p, ss, ch. s/i, 
 aird X, it has the sound of t. Sec p. 105.
 
 19 
 
 136. It has the sound ofj, when it comes after the aj> 
 cent, and is followed by the diphthong, ic, io, ia, or eou ; 
 as in soldier, pronounced soljiir. See p. 111. 
 
 137. It is silent before^, in the same syllable, and serves 
 to make the g soft ; it is silent in a few other words. 
 
 138. This letter has always its own sound, except in of, 
 pronounced ov. 
 
 G. 
 
 139. G has a hard sound before o, o, v, b, and r ; as 
 ia game. It is sometimes hard before c, and i; always 
 so in words derived from the Saxon. See p. 108. 
 
 140. G is generally soft, with the sound of j, before e, 
 i, and y ; and almost in all words of Greek, Latin, or 
 French original. See p. 107. 
 
 141. This letter is always silent before m and n, in the 
 same syllable. 
 
 H. 
 
 142. This letter is no more than a forcible breathing 
 before the succeeding vowel is pronounced. It is often 
 sounded at the beginning of words, but sometimes silent. 
 It is always silent after r. H final, preceded by a vowel, 
 is always silent, as ah ! sirrah. 
 
 J. 
 
 143. J has always the sound of soft g, except in the 
 word hallelujah, where it is pronounced like y. 
 
 K. 
 
 144. K has but one sound, and that like hard c. K is 
 always silent before n. When preceded by c, and at the 
 end of words, it should not be excluded, for it is a con- 
 stituent part of the original word, and if, in sound, it is 
 not important, in analogy it is highly so. 
 
 L. 
 
 145. L has always the same sound; it is generally si- 
 lent before /, k, m, and v, when preceded by a, in the 
 same syllable. When ;« is separated from /, by com- 
 mencing another syllable, it is sounded, as in psalmist. 
 L is always silent in the auxiliary verbs, would, &lc. It 
 is silent in many other words. 
 
 146. L preceded by a mute^ and followed by e, in a 
 final syllable, has an imperfect sound, and the final e is 
 suppressed.
 
 20 
 
 147. iJ/has ahvays the same sound as in them : except 
 in comptroller, pronounced cotitrolur. 
 
 N. 
 
 148. N has a simple and pure sound ; as in then. It 
 has a mixed and nasal sound, like ng, when it is under 
 the accent, and after the short sound of the vowel, and is 
 followed by the sliarp or flat guttural mutes, g hard, or k, 
 
 ,^ hard, qu, or x ; thus, thank is pronounced thangk. See 
 p. 109. 
 
 149. iVis silent, when it ends a word or syllable, and 
 is preceded by I or m. 
 
 P. 
 
 150. This letter is silent before 5 and t, at the begin- 
 ning of words. It is silent in the middle of words, or in 
 a final syllable, when before t, and preceded by m. It is 
 silent in some other instances. 
 
 Q 
 
 151. Q has the power of k, and is always followed by 
 a, which is either pronounced like w, or is silent. 
 
 R. 
 
 152. R is never silent, but its sound is sometimes trans- 
 posed. In a final unaccented syllable, termijiating with 
 re, the e is sounded before the r ; thus acre, sounded akcr. 
 See p. 111. 
 
 153. The same transposition takes place in the letters 
 rou; as in apron, iron, pronounced apurn, &-c. 
 
 8. 
 
 154. This consonant lias always a hissing sound, like 
 that of c, as heard in sin; or like that of z, as heard in 
 was. The former is the natural sound of 5, and occurs at 
 the beginning of word?, and Avhen it immediately follows 
 any of the sharp mutes, /', ^, jo, and t, and when it is add- 
 ed to the mute c, after any of these letters. "»• 
 
 155. It has this sour>d of c, generally at the end of 
 monosyllables ; and often at the end of words of two or 
 more syllables, if it be in an unaccented syllable, and pre- 
 ceded by any of the vowels but e ; as in basis. 
 
 156. Every double s in the language has the above 
 sound, except dissolve, possess, and their compounds ; and 
 scissors, hussy, and hussar. It likewise has the above
 
 21 
 
 sound, when followed by c, except in the word discern, 
 and in the inseparable prepositif)ns dh and /??<".•;, unles3 the 
 next syllable begins with a sharp consonant. It has, like- 
 wise, this sound when followed by c, in the final syllable of 
 adjectives, in the terminations sive, sory, some and osiUj, and 
 when followed by c, and preceded by the liquids I, n, or r. 
 
 157. t^' has a soft buzzing sound like that of z. when 
 it immedirtely follows the flat mute?, h, d, g hard, or v ; 
 and when it begins the last syllable, and is preceded by 
 the long accent, or when in the accented syllable it is 
 preceded by e, i, or v, and followed by e, i, or i/. See p. 35. 
 
 158. It has this buzzing sound, when it forms an ad- 
 ditional syllable with e before it, in the plural of nouns, 
 and the third person singular of verbs. 
 
 150. S, in diy, unaccented, and followed by a flat mute, 
 a li(}uid, or a vowel, is always like z. 
 
 IGO. S has the sound of z, in the monosyllables, is, as, 
 was, has, and his, and in all plurals of nouns, and third 
 person singular of verbs, whose singulars end in a voweL 
 See p. 83.' 
 
 161. Some verbs ending in se, have the s, like z, to dis- 
 tinguish them from nouns or adjectives of the same form ; 
 as grease, a noun ; grease, a verb, pronounced greaze. 
 
 162. 8y, and sey, at the end of words, if preceded 
 by a vowel with the accent on it, have the s pronounced 
 like z. 
 
 163. <S^ sounds like z, in the terminations ise, sel, san^ 
 son, sen, and sin, accented. Tliere are but few exceptions. 
 
 164. S\ms generally this sound s.i\er pre, pro, and i-e. 
 
 165. S is aspirated, and goes into the sound of ch, sh, 
 or zh, when it is preceded by the accent, and follovv'ed by 
 a semi-consonant diphthong. In the termination sion 
 preceded by a vowel, 5 has the aspirated sound, sA; It 
 has the same aspiration when before u, and is preceded 
 by an accented vowel ; as pleasure, &lc. ; but when s is 
 preceded by a liquid or another s, it is sounded sh ; as 
 sensual, &/C. 
 
 166. S is sometimes silent ; as in isle, &:-c. It is gene- 
 rally silent at the end of French words ; as in sous, pro- 
 nounced soo. 
 
 T. 
 
 167. This letter coming after the accent, often slides 
 into the sound of s, sh, or tsh : this will not appear strange.
 
 jC*/i»i 
 
 when we consider the organick formation of this letter, 
 in connexion with those vowels, that occasion this peculiar 
 sound. In the syllable Hon, it being unaccented, the i 
 and are sounded like e and u ; and tcu produces the same 
 hiss, and requires the same formation of the organs that 
 fhu requires ; therefore, tion very naturally slides into the 
 sound o^ shun. This sound of t, is generally heard when 
 It comes immediately after the accent ; thus satiate ispr<i- 
 nounced saslwatc. 
 
 108. The diphthongs ia, ie, io, lit, and u alone, after t 
 and the accent, have the power of drawing the t into the 
 sound of sh or tch. This pronunciation of t obtains in 
 every word, where the diphthong or diphthongal sound 
 commences with i or e; except in the terminations of 
 most verbs and adjectives. 
 
 IfiO. In almost all words where s, x, or n, precedes t, 
 and this letter is followed as above, it is pronounced like 
 tr/i or tsk, unless the syllable next after t, commences witii 
 long u, in which case ?/ seems to coalesce with the sound 
 of 11. See p. II ;j. 
 
 170. T is silent when it follows s, and precedes the 
 terminations en and le; as hasten, &c. T is silent, in 
 some other instances. 
 
 r, 
 
 171. This letter has but one sound, and is never sileijt. 
 
 X 
 
 172. X has a sharp sound like ks, when it ends a sylla- 
 ble, with the accent u|)on it ; or when the next syllable 
 is accented, and it begins with a consonant ; or when 
 the secondar}~accent is on the x, in polysyllables. It is 
 likewise sharp in compound words, where the primitive 
 ends in x ; as taxation, pronounced taksation. See p. 110. 
 
 173. >Y has a soft sound like gz, when the following 
 syllable is accented, and it begins with a vowel or silent 
 h, before the vowel ; as eitrt, exhibit, pronounced egzert, 
 egzibit. 
 
 174. When the unaccented syllable follows x, and be- 
 gins with a vowel, that vowel is aspirated and takes the 
 sound of J/, as luxury. 
 
 175. X ?l\ the beginning of words has the sound of 2; 
 as Xerxes, pronounced Zerkscs. 
 
 176. X in French words is sometimes silent, and ig 
 sometimes pronounced like $.■
 
 23 
 
 z. 
 
 177. Z is the soft buzzing s, and goes into the aspira- 
 ■ion before a difj'ithong or diphthongal vowel after the ac- 
 cent ; as glazitr, ])ronounced glazkur. 
 
 178. Z is sometimes silent in French words; as in 
 rendezvous, &c. 
 
 CONSONANTS COMBINED. 
 
 GH. 
 
 179. These letters at the beginning of a word, drop the 
 h; but at tlie end they are generally silent; as in highy 
 nigh, &LC. They have sometimes the power oi ck; as in 
 hough, pronounced hock. 
 
 180. GH is often pronounced like f ; and sometimes 
 only the g is sounded, as in burgh, pronounced burg. 
 
 GUT 
 
 181. The gh, in this termination, is silent ; as in might. 
 The only exception is draught, where the gh has the 
 sound ofy. 
 
 PH. 
 
 182. These letters are generally pronounced likey, but 
 sometimes like v. In some words, the h is mute. In 
 phthisis, phthisick, and phthisical, both letters are mute. 
 Seep. 110. 
 
 TH. 
 
 183. This combination at the beginning of words is 
 sharp ; as in thank, think, &,c. There are many excep- 
 tions to this remark. TH dX the end of words is sharp ; 
 as death, &lc. The exceptions are beneath, booth, with, 
 &.C. See p. 85. 
 
 184. TH between two vowels in words purely English, 
 is generally soft; as in father, &-c. 
 
 185. These letters are sharp in the middle of words, 
 either when they precede or follow a consonant, as pan- 
 ther, &c. The exceptions axe farthing, farther, tStc. 
 
 186. They are generally sharp between two vowels, in 
 words from the learned languages. The h is sometimes 
 silent ; as in T'homas, &lc. 
 
 OF WORDS. 
 
 A word is a significant sound, or the sign of an idea. 
 Every word consists of one or more syllables. A syllable 
 is a sound, either simple or compounded, and can be pro- 
 nounced by a single impulse ♦f the voice.
 
 24 
 
 A word o^ one syllable is called a monosyllable } 
 two dissyllable ; 
 
 three trisyllable ; 
 
 Jour polysyllable. 
 
 187. Words are either primitive or derivative. A 
 primitive is not derived from any other word ; as lov&. 
 A derivative is derived from some other word ; as from 
 /off is derived lotnng ; from prefer, preferring. Deriva- 
 tive words are generally formed by affixing one or more 
 f-jilables to the primitive; as love, lov-ing, lov-ing-ness. 
 
 Rules for Spelling or Forming Words. 
 
 188. Rule 1. Monosyllables ending with the consonant 
 f, I, or 5, preceded by a single vowel, double the final or 
 
 last consonant , as steijf, mill, pass, small, stress, spell, 
 shall, will, gross. The only exceptions are, as, has, is 
 this, was, his, if, of ns, i/es, and thus. 
 
 189. Rule 2. Monosyllables, ending with any conso- 
 nant buty, 7, or s, and preceded by a single vowel, do not 
 double the final consonant, excepting arid, ehh, butt, igg, 
 odd, err, inn, hunn, burr, buzz. Examples. — Far, thin, 
 for, set, car, war, drug, nor, hum, fm, fur, &lc. 
 
 190. Rule 3. Words ending with ij, preceded by a con- 
 sonant, form the plurals of nouns, the persons of verbs, 
 verbal nouns, past participles, comparatives, and superla- 
 tives, by clianging the y into i ; as spy, spies ; I carry, 
 tViou carr/est, he carr/es ; carr/er, carried ; happy, hap- 
 p/er, happ/est. The present participle in ing, retains the 
 y, that i may not be doubled ; as carry, carrying. But y 
 preceded by a vowel, in such instances as the above, is 
 not changed : as boy, boys ; cloy, cloyed. Except in lay, 
 pay, and say ; from which are formed laid, paid, said. 
 
 191. Rule 4. Words ending with y, preceded by a 
 consonant, upon assuming or taking an additional sylla- 
 ble, beginning with a consonant, commonly change y into 
 i ; as happy, happ/Iy. But m hen y is preceded by a 
 vowel, it is rarely changed in the additional syllable; as 
 boy, boyish, boyhood. 
 
 192. Rule 5. Monosyllables, and words accented on 
 the last syllable, ending with a single consonant preceded 
 by a single vowel, double that consonant, when they take 
 another syllable beginning with a vowel; as wit, tvitty, 
 thin, th'/iuish ; begin, beginner. But if a diphthong pre- 
 cedes, or the accent is on the preceding syllable, the con- 
 sonant remains single; as toil, toiling; offer, offering.
 
 193. RnJc G. Words ending in any double letter but 
 I, and taking ness, less, lij, or fid, alter them, preserve the 
 letter double ; as Tinrnilcsfncss, carelessness, carelessly, 
 stiffiif, successful But words ending with double /, and 
 taking ness, less, ly, or fnl, after them, generally omit one 
 /,- 3.S fulness, sliilless, fully, skilful. 
 
 191. Rule 7. Ness, less, ly, and ful, added to words, 
 ending with silent e, do not cut it off; as jicdencss. guile- 
 less, peaceful; — except in a few words; as duly, truly, 
 awful. 
 
 19o. Rule 8. Mcnt added to words ending with silent 
 €, generally preserves the e from elision, or from being cut 
 off; diS abatement, chastisement, excitement; but the e is 
 omitted \n judgment, abridgment, acknowledgment. Mrnt 
 added to words ending with y, preceded by a consonant, 
 changes y into i ; as accompany, accompaniment ; merry, 
 merriment. 
 
 19G. Ruled. Able, and /Z»?c, added to words ending with 
 silent e, almost always cut it off; as blame, hlamable ; cure, 
 curable; .sense, sensible; but if c, or g soft come before e 
 in the original word, the c is preserved ; as change, 
 changeable ; peace, peaceable. 
 
 197. Rule 10. When ing, or ish, is added to words end- 
 ing with silent e, the c is almost always omitted ; visphire, 
 placing; lodge, lodging; slave, slavish; prude, prudish. 
 
 198. Rule 11. Words taken into composition, often 
 drop those letters, which are superfluous in their simples; 
 as handful, loithal, chilblain, foretel. 
 
 OF ACCENT. 
 
 199. Accent, very essential to a correct speaker, has 
 been frequently misrepresented by those, who have at- 
 tempted to define its nature. It is a forcible stress of 
 voice laid on a syllable in a word, in order to make articu- 
 lation the more easy, and distinct. It implies something 
 different from a gradual or an uniform rising or falling 
 of the voice, from one syllable to another, although the 
 accented syllable is always louder than the rest. 
 
 200. There are certain infle(;tions of the voice, which 
 distinguish speaking from singing; these are called rising 
 and falling inflections. In niusi'ck, a sliding of the voice 
 from high to low, and from low to liigh, may be justly re- 
 presented by a curve line, ^^^ which denotes one con- 
 tinued sound ; but this mark cannot represent the inflec- 
 
 c
 
 26 
 
 tions of the voice in speaking, where every syllable that 
 ends with a consonant, necessarily interrupts or stops 
 the voice ; and the next following commences with a 
 much higher or lower sound, than that of the preceding 
 syllable. Perhaps the following may be thought a happy 
 manner of representing a just idea of the nature of accent, 
 and a comparison of an accented syllable, with others less 
 
 forcible ; thus, — — __ __ cir cum lo cu tion. 
 
 Secondary Accent. 
 
 201. The secondary accent is a stress something less 
 than a full accent, laid on a syllable, in order to pro- 
 ilounce the word with more clearness, force, and harmony ; 
 thus this accent is on the first syllable of circujulocidion. 
 The secondary accent is always two or more syllables dis- 
 tant from the principal accent. 
 
 202. The consonants, t, d, c, and 5, after the seconda- 
 ry accent, are sounded the same as when after the princi- 
 pal ; that is, if they are followed by a diphthong, these 
 consonants are pronounced like sh, tsh, zh, or j ; as par- 
 Haliti^, &c. 
 
 Accented Syllables. 
 
 203. All dissyllables have one syllable accented. 
 There are no invariable rules for fixing the accent. 
 
 204. Words of two syllables, which are both nouns and 
 verbs, as they are differently used, have generally the 
 
 accent of nouns on the first, and of verbs on the last sylla- 
 ble. 
 
 205. Words of trisyllables generally accent tlie first, 
 with the short sound of the vowel. As words increase in 
 syllables, the accent becomes more easily determined. 
 Nouns increase by becoming plural ; adjectives by their 
 comparison ; verbs by their conjugation, ^c. In all such 
 instances, and in almost all derivative words, the accent 
 remains unaltered, on the root or primitive word, except 
 confessor, preference, reference, excellent, &LC. 
 
 206. In polysyllables which are not derivatives, the ac^ 
 cent is generally on the last syllable but two. 
 
 207. In a few instances, it is on the last syllable but 
 three. As a general rule, the accent should fall on that 
 Byllable which renders the articulation of the whole word 
 most agreeable to the car.
 
 27 
 
 RULES 
 
 For Pronouncing the Neio Testament Proper Names. 
 
 a A voiml ending a syllable with the accent on it, is 
 long (15). 
 
 b A consonant ending a syllable makes the preceding 
 vowel short. 
 
 c i, ending the last syllable of a word is generally long. 
 
 d Every unaccented i, ending a syllable, not final, is 
 sounded like e. (3'2) 
 
 e The vowels ai are sometimes pronounced in one syl- 
 lable, and sometimes in two. When they are pronounced 
 in one syllable, they have generally the sound of long a.

 SWEARING. 
 
 Thou shalt not pro-fane the name of thy 
 God ; I am the Lord. I will come near to 
 you in judg-ment, and I Avill be a swift wit- 
 ness a-2;ainst false swear-ers, saith the Lord 
 of hosts. 
 
 Swear not at all ; nei-ther by heav-en, for 
 it is God's throne ; nor by earth, for it is his 
 foot-stool ; nei-ther by Je-ru-sa-lem, for it is 
 the cit-y of the great King ; nei-ther shalt 
 thou swear by thy head, be-cause thou canst 
 not make one hair white or black. But let 
 your com-mu-ni-ca-tions be yea, yea ; nay, 
 nay ; for what-so-ev-er is more than these, 
 com-eth of e-vil. Speak e-vil of no man. Let 
 all bit-ter-ness, and wrath, and an-gcr, and 
 clam-our, and e-vil speak-ing be put a-way 
 from you, with all mal-ice. 
 
 Put off all these ; an-ger, wrath, mal-ice, 
 blas-phe-my, and hlth-y com-mu-ni-ca-tions 
 out of your mouth. In the mul-ti-tude of 
 words, there want-eth not sin. 
 
 Keep thy tongue from e-vil, and thy lips 
 from speak-ing guile. De-part from e-vil, and 
 do good, seek peace, and pur-sue it. 
 e2
 
 LYING. 
 
 Ye shall not lie one to an-oth-er. lie that 
 .spea-keth lies shall per-ish. Ly-ing lips are 
 an a-bom-i-na-tion to the Lord ; but they that 
 deal tru-ly are his de-light. A poor man is 
 bet-ter than a li-ar. 
 
 He that will love hfe, and see good days, 
 let him re-frain his tongue from e-vil, and his 
 lips that they speak no guile. 
 
 A false wit-ness shall not be un-pun-ish-cd ; 
 and he that spea-keth lies shall not e-scape. 
 Speak ye ev-e-ry man the truth to his fel-low. 
 
 And let none of you im-ag-ine e-vil in your 
 hearts a-gainst an-oth-er ; and love not a false 
 oath ; for these are things I hate, saith the 
 Lord. 
 
 De-liv-er my soul, O Lord, from ly-ing lips ; 
 and from a de-ceit-ful tongue. The lip of 
 truth shall be e-stab-lish-ed for-ev-er ; but a 
 ly-ing tongue i.^^but for a nio-ment. 
 
 There sliall in no wise en-ter in-to heav-en 
 any thing that de-fi-leth ; nei-ther what-so- 
 cv-er work-eth a-bom-in-a-tion, or ma-keth a 
 lie. 
 
 SCRIPTURE EXTRACTS. 
 
 The earth is the Lord's, and the ful-ness 
 tkere-of ; the v.orld and they that dwell there- 
 in. 
 
 The Lord is nigh un-to them, that are of a 
 bro-ken heart ; and sa-veth such, as are of a 
 con-trite spir-it. 
 
 Great is the Lord, and great-ly to be prai- 
 sed in the cit-y of our God, in the moun-tain 
 of his ho-li-ncss.
 
 Who is like the Lord, in glo-ry ? Who iii 
 pow-er will con-tend with the Al-migh-ty ? 
 Hath he an-y e-qual in wis-dom ? It is God, 
 O man ! who hath cre-a-ted thee. Thy sta- 
 tion on earth is fix-ed by his ap-point-ment. 
 The pow-ers of thy mind are the gifts of his 
 good-ness. The won-ders of thy frame are 
 the works of his hand. 
 
 O Lord, how man-i-fold are thy works ! m 
 wis-dom hast thou made them all : the earth 
 is full of thy rich-es. Praise Him, ye heav- 
 en of heav-ens. Let them praise the name 
 of the Lord; for he com-mand-ed, and thev 
 were cre-a-ted. 
 
 Just and true are thy ways, thou King of 
 saints ; thy truth en-du-reth for-ev-er. Heav- 
 en and earth shall pass a-way, but thy \^ ord 
 shall not pass a-way. Ver-i-ly, O God, thou 
 art a God that hi-dest thy-self : thy dwell-ing 
 is in the hght, which no man can ap-proach 
 un-to. 
 
 SELECT SENTENCES. 
 
 Be not vain of your ac-quire-ments. Re- 
 mem-ber that all you pos-sess comes from God; 
 to God give the glo-ry. The wi-sest man is 
 not the proud-est. ]3e con-vinc-ed that noth- 
 ing is so child-ish as van-i-ty, and noth-ing so 
 of- fen-si ve as pride. 
 
 " ' — What is it to be 2cise 1 
 
 " 'Tis but to knoxo how little can be known, 
 " To see all others' faults, and feel our mm." 
 
 So long as men are un-der the pow-er of 
 sin, they are un-der the pow-er of mad-ness. 
 
 What we are a-fraid to do be-fore men, we 
 should be a-fraid to think be-fore God.
 
 56 
 
 Would you be liap-py, and j)ros-per-ous ? 
 Would you be re-spect-cd by your friends ? 
 AVould you have the bless-ings of heav-en ? 
 Jie niod-est, be dil-i-geut, be virt-u-ous. 
 
 Seek to be par-dou-cd ; a-bove all, seek to 
 be be-lov-ed. 
 
 When we are most rcad-y to per-ish, God 
 then is most read-y to help. 
 
 The vva-ges of sin is death. It is poor wa- 
 ges that will not help a man to live. As vir- 
 tue is its own re-ward-er, so sin is its own ex- 
 e-cu-tion-er. The depths of mis-e-ry are nev- 
 er be-yond the depths of mer-cy. 
 
 They on-ly are wise, wiio are wise un-to 
 sal-va-tion. 
 
 Uo that would be lit- tic in temp-ta-tion, let 
 him be much in pray-er. 
 
 MORALITY. 
 
 -'Tis our part, 
 
 •As Chris-tians, to for-get the wrongs we feci ; 
 To par-don tres-pns-ses ; our ver-y foes 
 To love and chcr-ish ; to do good to all ; 
 Live pcace-a-b!y, and he, in all our acts, 
 Wise as the ser-pent, gen-tle as the dove.

 HEALTH. 
 
 1 . Who is she that with grace-ful steps, and 
 with a live-ly air, trips over yon-der plain ? 
 
 2. The rose blush-es on her cheeks ; the 
 ^weet-ness of the morn-ing breathes from her
 
 (54 
 
 lips ; joy, tem-per-ed with in-no-ccncc and 
 mod-es-ty, spar-kles in her eyes; and the cheer- 
 ful-ness of her heart ap-pears in all her move- 
 ments. 
 
 3. Her name is Health : she is the daugh-ter 
 of Ex-er-cise and Tem-per-ance. Their sons 
 in-hab-it the moun-tains and the plain. They 
 are brave, ac-tive, and live-ly ; and par-take of 
 all the beau-tics and vir-tues of their sis-ter. 
 
 4. Vig-our strings their nerves, strength 
 dwells in their bones, and la-bour is their de- 
 light all the day long. The cm-ploy-ments of 
 their fath-er ex-cite their ap-pe-tites ; and the 
 re-pasts of their moth-er re-fresh them. 
 
 5. To com-bat the pass-ions, is their de- 
 light ; to con-quer e-vil hab-its, their glo-rv. 
 Their pleas-ures are mod-er-ate, and there- 
 fore they en-dure : their re-pose is short, but 
 sound and un-dis-tur-bed. Their blood is pure ; 
 their minds are se-rene ; and the phys-i-cian 
 does not find the way to their hab-i-ta-tions.

 EMULATION. 
 
 If thy soul thirsteth for honour ; if thy car 
 hath any pleasure in the voice of praise ; raise 
 thyself from the dust, whereof thou art made 
 — and exalt thy aim to something that is praise- 
 worthy. 
 
 The oak that now spreadeth its branchc;^ 
 towards the heavens, was once but an acorn 
 in the bowels of the earth. 
 
 Endeavour to be first in thy calling, what-
 
 70 
 
 ever it bo : neither let any one go before thee 
 in well-doing. 
 
 By a virtuous emulation, the spirit of a man 
 is excilted within him ; he panteth after fame, 
 and rejoiceth as a racer to run his course. 
 
 He riseth like the palm-tree, in spite of op- 
 pression ; and as an eagle in the firmament 
 of jieavcn, he soareth aloft, and fixes his eye 
 upon the glories of the sun. 
 
 The example of eminent men are in his 
 visions by night ; and his delight is to follow 
 them all the day long. 
 
 He formeth great designs, he rejoiceth in 
 the execution thereof, and his name goeth 
 forth to the ends of the world. 
 
 Let good feelings, and good and virtuous 
 habits gain strength with thy years, and you 
 shall rise like a cedar on the mountains ; your 
 head shall be hfted above the trees of the 
 forest. 
 
 Early aspire to good and great actions, and 
 a holy life. 
 
 Be obedient to your superiors, and they 
 shall bless you. 
 
 Cherish in your bosom the generous feel- 
 ings of gratitude, and you shall receive bene- 
 fits. 
 
 Possess charity, and you shall gain es- 
 teem. 
 
 Possess temperance, and you shall liave 
 health. 
 
 Possess diligence and prudence, and with 
 them, you shall have riches. 
 
 Possess justice, and you shall be honoured 
 by the world.
 
 71 
 
 Possess knowledge, and you shall be ex- 
 alted, and your life shall be useful. 
 
 Possess " good will to man," and love to 
 God, and your death shall be joyous, and the 
 life to come shall be a blessed immortality. 
 
 FILIAL LOVE. 
 
 Be grateful to thy father, for he gave thee 
 life, and to thy mother, for she sustained thee. 
 
 Hear the words of his mouth, for they are 
 spoken for thy good ; give ear to his admo- 
 nition, for it proceedeth from love. 
 
 He hath watched for thy welfare ; he hath 
 toiled for thy ease ; do honour, therefore, to 
 his age, and let not his grey hairs be treated 
 with irreverence. 
 
 BENEVOLENCE. 
 
 When thou considerest thy wants, when 
 thou beholdest thy imperfections, acknow- 
 ledge his goodness, O son of humanity ! who 
 honoured thee with reason, endued thee with 
 speech, and placed thee in society, to receive 
 and confer reciprocal helps, and mutual obli- 
 gations. 
 
 It is thy duty, therefore, to be a friend to 
 mankind, as it is thy interest that man should 
 be friendly to thee. 
 
 As the rose breatheth sweetness from its 
 own nature, so the heart of a benevolent man 
 produceth good works. 
 
 He enjoy eth the ease and tranquillity of his 
 own breast, and rejoiceth in the happiness and 
 prosperity of his neighbour. 
 
 He openeth not his ear unto slander ; the
 
 72 
 
 faults and ihc failings of men give pain to his 
 heart. 
 
 His desire is to do good, and he searcheth 
 out the occasions thereof; in removing the 
 oppressions of another, he relieveth himself. 
 
 From the largeness of his mind, he com- 
 prehendeth in his wishes, the happiness of 
 all men ; and from the generosity of his heart, 
 he endeavoureth to promote it. 
 
 A BIRTH-DAY. 
 
 Swift as tlie arrow flies, 
 
 My time is hastening on : 
 Quick as the lightning from the skies, 
 
 My wasting moments run. 
 
 My follies past, O God, forgive : 
 
 My ev'ry sin subdue : 
 And teach me, henceforth, how to lire, 
 
 With glory in my view. 
 
 'Twere better I had not been born, 
 
 Than live without thy fear; 
 For they are wretched and forlorn, 
 
 Who have their portion here. 
 
 But thanks to thy unbounded grace, 
 
 That in my early youth, 
 I have been taught to seek thy face, 
 
 And know the ways of truth. 
 
 O ! let thy spirit lead me still, 
 
 Along the happy road : 
 Conform me to thy holy will, 
 
 My father and my God. 
 
 Another year of life is past ; 
 
 My heart to thee incline ; 
 That, if this year should be my last, 
 
 It may be wholly thine.
 
 73 
 
 THE ROSE. 
 
 How fair is tlie rose ! what a beautiful flower ! 
 
 The glory of April and May ! 
 But the leaves are beginning to fade in an hour, 
 
 And they wither and die in a day. 
 
 Yet the rose has one powerful virtue to boast, 
 
 Above all the flowers of the field : 
 When its leaves are all dead, and fine colours are lost, 
 
 Still how sweet a perfume it will yield ! 
 
 So frail is the youth and the beauty of men, 
 Though they bloom and look gay like the rose ; 
 
 But all our fond care to preserve them is vain : 
 Time kills them as fast as he goes. 
 
 Then I'll not be proud of my youth, or my beauty, 
 
 Since both of them wither and fade : 
 But gain a good name by well doing my duty : 
 
 This will scent like a rose when I'm dead. 
 
 Watts. 
 
 THE PHILANTHROPIST. 
 
 What blessings bounteous Heav'n bestows, 
 
 He takes with thankful heart : 
 With temperance, he eats and drinks, 
 
 And gives the poor a part. 
 
 To sect or party, his large soul 
 
 Disdains to be confiu'd : 
 The good he loves, of ev'ry name, 
 
 And prays for all mankind. 
 
 Pure in his zeal, the offspring fair 
 
 Of truth and heav'niy love ; 
 The bigot's rage can never dwell, 
 
 Where rests the peaceful dove. 
 
 CONTENTMENT. 
 
 I ENVY not the proud their wealth, 
 
 Their equipage and state : 
 Give me but innocence and health, 
 
 I ask not to be great.

 RULES FOR READING PROSE. 
 
 Any person, who has a clear voice, and can articulate 
 correctly the English elementary sounds, or the letters of 
 the alphabet, may, with some attention, become a good 
 reader ; but there are persons, who can never become 
 harmonious readers, for the reasons of a stammering or 
 lisping — a roughness of voice, or loss of teeth ; but to 
 such it is a consolation that neither these, nor any other 
 natural defects, can prevent their reading correctly. 
 
 To read with propriety and elegance, the following 
 particulars must be observed, viz. Arficvlation, Pronmi- 
 ciation, Emphasis, Cadence, Pauses, Key or Pitch of the 
 voice, and Tones. 
 
 ARTICULATION. 
 
 A correct articulation consists in giving each letter or 
 syllable its proper sound, and a distinct and forcible ut- 
 terance. 
 
 Articulation may be strengthened and improved by 
 frequent loud reading, and a due attention to the forma- 
 tion of the elementary sounds by the organs of speech. 
 
 PRONUNCIATION. 
 
 A good pronunciation consists in giving each letter its 
 just quantity and quality of sound ; and each word its 
 proper accent. 
 
 Pronunciation should be distinct, bold, and forcible; 
 these requisites depend on the strength and energy of the 
 voice, which may be easily acquired, by reading aloud 
 long passages, and expressing with a full impulse of 
 breath, and a forcible action of the org^s, the simple 
 sounds, in each word. 
 
 EMPHASIS, 
 
 Emphasis is a forcible stress of voice laid upon such 
 words in a sentence, as best convey the meaning. Every 
 sentence contains one, and perhaps several words, which 
 are to be distinguished by a strong impulse of voice. 
 Emphasis is to wo.rds, what accent is to syllables; (109) 
 for as the latter dignifies the syllable on which it is laid, 
 atid presents the meaning of the word in a clearer light
 
 75 
 
 to the understanding, so the former ennobles the word ft 
 which it belongs, and makes the sentence appear more 
 intelligible and perspicuous. (200) 
 
 The reader will never be at a loss where to place the 
 emphasis, if he understand well the meaning and spirit 
 of the sentence he is to express. If he make this book 
 his Instructor, he is advised to study, with particular at- 
 tention, the Spelling Tables that immediately precede the 
 Reading Lessons. When he is able to pronounce and 
 define all the difficult words of his reading exercise, he 
 can read with more understanding, and, consequently, 
 with greater facility and correctness. 
 
 CADENCE. 
 
 Cadence is the reverse of emphasis ; or a falling ctf the 
 voice. 
 
 PAUSES, 
 
 Pauses are ia total cessation of sound during a per- 
 ceptible space of time ; they are generally used to mark 
 the divisions of the sense, and to give the reader time to 
 draw his breath. 
 
 There are three kinds of pauses, viz. the suspending, 
 rising, and falling. The duration of these depends on 
 the connection, sense, and spirit of the composition, and 
 is measured by the following marks ; comma (,) semicolon (; ) 
 •colon (:) and period (.) The voice should stop at these marks 
 in proportion to the numbers one, two, three, and four. 
 
 Although this rule is generally correct, yet not always 
 so, for both the proportion and duration of the pauses 
 often change with the style or spirit of the sentiments. 
 Some paragraphs require quick reading, others slow. 
 There is another pause of considerable importance, 
 called an emphatical pause, made immediately before or 
 after an emphasis. It is not designated by any mark, 
 and its duration depends on the nature of the emphasis. 
 
 Good readers generally make at a comma, or a note of 
 admiration, a suspending pause. 
 
 At a semicolon, colon, and period, there should be a 
 falling pause. 
 
 An interrogative sentence formed by who, hotv, how 
 much, hoio manj/, why, when, lohcrc, and some others, 
 closes with a falling pause, unless the last word is em- 
 phatical. 
 
 A rising or suspending pause is always made, when the 
 last word is emphatical.
 
 76 
 
 PITCHES OF THE VOICE. 
 
 There are usually reckoned three pitches of the voice ; 
 the tniddle, the kigh, and the low. 
 
 The middle pitch is used in ordinary discourse. 
 
 The high is used in the reading of plaintive and joyou3 
 passages. 
 
 The low is used in solemn and gloomy passages. 
 
 The pitch or key of the voice should always be ac- 
 commodated to the nature of the sentiments to be ex- 
 pressed, and the loudness or force of the voice should be 
 proportioned to the room and the audience in it. lu 
 order rightly to proportion the quantity of voice, let the 
 reader, at the beginning, direct it to the most distant part 
 of his auditory. 
 
 TONES. 
 
 Tones are the notes or variations of the voice, and vary 
 with the emotions of the mind. They are implanted in 
 the animal nature of man, and, therefore, make a com- 
 mon language, understood by all nations and tongues. 
 
 Without a natural and judicious use of the tones, we - 
 can neither please nor persuade, or make onr sentiments 
 forcible or affecting. 
 
 'Vhe tones which express the different passions of the 
 mind, are as follows: 
 
 Love, by a soft, smooth, and languishing voice. 
 
 Anger, by a strong, vehement, and elevated voice. 
 
 Joy, by a quick, sweet, and clear voice. 
 
 Fear, by a dejected, tremulous, and hesitating voice. 
 
 Courage, by a firm, bold, and swelling voice. 
 
 Perplexity, by a grave, steady, and earnest voice. 
 
 In narration, the voice should be distinct. 
 
 In reasoning, the voice should be slow. 
 
 In persuasion, the voice should be strong. 
 
 When we recommend an attention to the tones, or lan- 
 guage of emotions, we must be understood to do it with 
 proper limitation. Moderation is necessary in this point, 
 as it is in other things. For when reading becomes strictly 
 imitative, it assumes a theatrical manner, and must be 
 iiighly improper, as well as give offence to the hearers ; 
 because it is inconsistent with that delicacy and mode.sty, 
 which are indispensable on such occasions. The .speaker 
 who delivers his own emotions, must be supposed to be 
 more vivid and animated, than would bo propei in the 
 person, who relates them at second hand.

 THE PERFECT SPEAKER. 
 
 1. Imagine to yourselves a Demosthenes, ad- 
 dressing the most illustrious assembly in the world, 
 upon a point, whereon the fate of the most illustri- 
 ous of nations depended. — How awful such a meet- 
 ing ! how vast the subject ! Is man possessed of 
 talents adequate to the great occasion ? Adequate 
 — yes, superior. 
 
 2. By the power of his eloquence, the augusl- 
 ness of the assembly is lost, in the dignity of the 
 orator ; and the importance of the subject, for 
 a while, superseded, by the admiration of his 
 talents. 
 
 o. With what strength of argument, with what 
 powers of the fancy, with what emotions of the 
 heart, does he assault and subjugate the whole man, 
 and at once, captivate his reason, his imagination, 
 and his passions I — To effect this, must be the ut- 
 most effort of the most improved state of human 
 nature. 
 
 4. Not a faculty that he possesses, is here unem- 
 ployed : not a faculty that he possesses, but is here 
 everted to its highest pitch. All his internal pow- 
 ers are at work: all his external testify their ener- 
 gies. Within, Uie memory, the fancy, the judgment, 
 the passions are all busv : without, every muscle
 
 91 
 
 »;vcry nerve, is exerted ; not a feature, not a limb, 
 but speaks. 
 
 5. The organs of the body attuned to the exer- 
 tions of the mind, through the kindred organs of 
 the hearers, instantaneously, and, as it were, with 
 an electrical spirit, vibrate those energies from soul 
 to soul. 
 
 G. Notwithstanding the diversity of minds in such 
 a multitude, by the lightning of eloquence, they 
 are melted into one mass — the whole assembly ac- 
 tuated in one and the same way, become as it were. 
 })ut one man, and have but one voice. The uni- 
 versal cry is — Let us march against Philip — let 
 
 us FIGHT FOR OUR LIBERTIES LET US CONt^UER OR 
 
 DIE.

 tion to your conduct. As soon as you are capable 
 of reilection, you must perceive that there is a right 
 and a wrong, in human actions. You see, that 
 those who are born with the same advantages of 
 fortune, are not all equally prosperous in the course 
 of life. 
 
 2. While some of them, by ^ise and steady con- 
 duct, attain distinction in the world, and pass their 
 dayr, with comfort and honour ; others, of the same 
 rank, by mean and vicious behaviour, forfeit the ad- 
 vantages of their birth ; involve themselves in much 
 misery ; and end in being a disgrace to their friends^ 
 and a burden on society. 
 
 3. Early, then, may yoa learn, that it is not on 
 tlie external condition in which you find yourselves 
 placed, but on the part,which you are to act, that 
 your welfare or unhappiness, your honour or infamy, 
 depends. Now, when beginning to act that part, 
 what can be of greater moment, than to regulate 
 your plan of conduct with the most serious atten- 
 tion, before you have yet committed any fatal ot 
 idrretrievable eriofs?
 
 92 
 
 4. Whatever be your rank, Providence will not, 
 for your sake, reverse its established order. The 
 Author of your being hath enjoined you to " take 
 heed to your ways ; to ponder the paths of your 
 feet ; to remember your Creator in the days of your 
 youth." He hath decreed, that they only " who 
 seek after wisdom, shall find it ; that fools shall be 
 afflicted, because of their transgressions ; and that 
 whoever refuseth instruction, shall destroy his own 
 soul." 
 
 6. By listening to these admonitions, and temper- 
 ing the vivacity of youth with a proper mixture of 
 serious thought, you may ensure cheerfulness for 
 the rest of life ; but by delivering yourselves up at 
 present to giddiness and levity, you lay the founda- 
 tion of lasting heaviness of heart. 
 
 6. When you look forward to those plans of life, 
 which either your circumstances have suggested, or 
 your friends have proposed, you will not hesitate to 
 acknowledge, that in order to pursue them with ad- 
 vantage, some previous discipline is requisite. Be 
 assured, that whatever is to be your profession, no 
 education is more necessary to your success, than 
 the acquirement of virtuous dispositions and habits. 
 This is the universal preparation for every charac- 
 ter, and every station in life. 
 
 7. Bad as the world is, respect is always paid to 
 virtue. In the usual course of human affairs, it will 
 be found, that a plain understanding, joined with 
 acknowledged worth, contributes more to prosperity, 
 than the brightest parts without probity or honour. 
 
 8. Whether science or business, or publick life, 
 be your aim, virtue still enters, for a principal share 
 into all these great departments of society. It is 
 connected with eminence, in every liberal art ; with 
 reputation, in every branch of fair and useful busi- 
 ness ; with distinction, in every publick station. 
 
 9. The vigour which it gives the mind, and the 
 wei;xlit which it adds to character • the generous 
 sentiments which it breatiies ; the undaunted spirit 
 which it inspires; the ardour of diligence which it
 
 93 
 
 quickens ; the freedom whicli it procures from per- 
 nicious and dishonourable avocations ; are the foun- 
 dations of all that is highly honourable, or greatly 
 successful among men. 
 
 10. Let not then the season of youth be barren 
 of improvements, so essential to your future felicity 
 and honour. Now is the seed time of life ; and ac- 
 cording to " what you sow, you shall reap." 
 
 11. Your character is now, under Divine assist- 
 ance, of your own forming : your fate is, in some 
 measure, put into your own hands. Your nature is 
 as yet pliant and soft. Habits have not established 
 their dominion. Prejudices have not preoccupied 
 your understanding. The world has not had time 
 to contract and debase your affections. 
 
 12. All your powers are more vigorous, disem- 
 barrassed, and free, than they will be at any future 
 period. Whatever impulse you now give to your 
 desires and passions, the direction is likely to con-^' 
 tinue. It will form the channel in which your life 
 is to run ; nay, it may determine its everlasting is- 
 sue. 
 
 13. Consider then the employment of this im- 
 portant period, as the highest trust which shall ever 
 he committed to you ; as in a great measure, deci-' 
 sive of your happine.-s, in time, and in eternity. 
 
 14. As in the succession of the seasons, each, by 
 the invariable laws of nature, affects the produc- 
 tions of what is next in course ; so, in human life, 
 every period of our age, according as it is well or 
 ill spent, influences the happiness of that, which is 
 to follow. 
 
 15. Virtuous youth gradually brings forward ac- 
 complished and flourishing manhood ; and such 
 manhood passes of itself, without uneasiness, into 
 respectable and tranquil old age. 
 
 16. But when nature is turned out of its regular 
 course, disorder takes place in the moral, just as in 
 the vegetable world. If the spring put forth no 
 blossoms, in summer, there will be no beauty, and 
 m autumn, no fruit : so, if youth be trifled away
 
 u- 
 
 withont improvement, manhood will probably be 
 contemptible, and old age miserable. If the be- 
 ginnings of life have been " vanity," its latter end 
 can scarcely be any other than " vexation of spirit." 
 17. Correct, then, this ill-founded arrogance. 
 Expect not, that your happiness can be independent 
 of Him, who made youth. By piety and prayer^ 
 seek the protection of the God of heaven. I con- 
 clude with the solemn words, in which a great 
 prince delivered his dying charge to his son ; words 
 which every young person ought to consider as ad- 
 dressed to himself, and to engrave deeply on his 
 heart : " Solomon, my son, know thou the God of 
 thy fathers ; and serve him with a perfect heart, 
 and with a willing mind. For the Lord searches 
 all hearts, and undcrstandeth all the imaginations 
 of the thoughts. If thou seek him, he will be found 
 of thee ; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee 
 
 off for ever."

 QUINTILIAN S CHILDREN. 
 
 1. Quintilian, noticing the different characters of the 
 mind in children, draws in a few words, the image of 
 what he judged to be a perfect scholar ; and certainly 
 it is a very amiable one : " For my part," says he, " I like 
 a child who is encouraged by commendation, is animated 
 by a sense of glory, and weeps when he is outdone. 
 
 2. " A noble emulation will always keep him in exercise, 
 a reprimand will touch him to the quick, and honour will 
 serve instead of a spur. We need not fear that such a 
 scholar will ever give himself up to sullenuess." 
 
 3. How great a value soever Q,uintilian sets upon the 
 talents of the mind, he esteems those of the heart far be- 
 yond them, and looks upon the others as of no value with- 
 out them. 
 
 4. He displays to us all these talents in the eldest of 
 his two children, whose character he draws, and whose 
 
 1 ^ 
 
 1 ,^4
 
 102 
 
 death he laments in so eloquent and patlietick a strain, in 
 the beautiful preface to his sixth hook. 
 
 5. After having mentioned his younger son, who died 
 at five years old^ and described the graces and beauties 
 of his countenance, the prettiuess of his expressions, the 
 vicacity of his understanding, which began to shine through 
 the veil of childhood ; " I had still left me," says he, " my 
 son Quintilian, in whom I placed all my pleasure, and all 
 my hopes, and comfort enough I might have found in 
 tiiui : lor, having now entered into his tenth year, he did 
 not produce only blossoms like his younger brother, but 
 fruits already formed, and beyond the power of disap* 
 pointment. 
 
 6. "I have much experience; but I never saw in any 
 child, I do not say only so many excellent dispositions for 
 the sciences, nor so much taste, as his masters know, but 
 so mirch probity, sweetness, good nature, gentleness, and 
 mc'.ination to please and oblige, as I discerned in him. 
 
 7. " Besides this, he had all the advantages of nature ; 
 a charming voice, a pleasing countenance, and a sur- 
 prising facility in pronouncing well the two languages, as 
 if he had been equally born for both of them. 
 
 8. "But all this was no more than hope< I set a 
 greater value upon his admirable virtues, his equality of 
 temper, his resolution, the courage with which he bore 
 up against fear and pain ; for, how was his physicians 
 astonished at his patience under a distemper of eight

 OF THE SIMPLE ARTS OF SAVAGE LIFE. 
 
 ^>^> 
 
 ': The arts of savage life are those which were pos- 
 sessed by the ancient Britons : and which are witnessed 
 :it thi« (lay among all barbarous people. They include 
 the ;irts of swinuning, hunting, taking aim with niiirsile 
 M capons, and procuring fire. 
 
 2. TJie art of swimming, depends first, in keeping the 
 arms and hands under the water ; in protruding only the 
 lace and part of the head out of the water ; and then 
 using such action, as will direct the body in any particu- 
 lar course. 
 
 3. All animals swim without instruction ; because they 
 arc unable to lift their fore-legs over their heads. The 
 secret of this art depends, then, on keeping down the 
 hands and arms, and acting under the v ater with them. 
 The parts of any body, which rise out of the vvater, tend 
 to de]>ress the parts that are immersed in it. 
 
 4. Hunting is performed by most savage nations on 
 foot, and with many of them the principal weapon is the 
 flub. Therefore th& swiftest and strongest usually be- 
 come chiefs. 
 
 o. Hence Hercules, the hero of antiquity, is drawn with 
 no other wcagpn than a club ; with which, aloue, he is
 
 121 
 
 said to have performed all his wonderful exploits. Some 
 nations, in nothing removed above savages, are however 
 found to have acquired the use of bows and arrows. 
 
 6. If there are some privations to be borne in society; 
 if the successful emulation of industry and talents cre- 
 ates great inequalities of enjoyment ; and if the laws are 
 abused, and sometimes bear oppressively on weak indi- 
 viduals, the worst condition of social and civilized man is 
 better than the best condition of the untutored savage. 
 
 7. Such is man, in his native and original state, in all 
 countries ; and such are the boundaries of knovdedge, 
 among all aboriginal people : let us now consider man, in 
 a better, happier, and more respectable condition. 
 
 OF FARMING, OR AGRICULTURE. 
 
 8. The first step, from savage towards civilized life, is 
 the acquirement, protection, and recognition of property. 
 In early ages this consisted only of what was essential to 
 the immediate wants of man. 
 
 9. The first property consisted of sheep, goats, and 
 oxen ; and the first husbandmen were shepherds, who 
 tended their flocks, and dro^o them without restriction 
 from pasture to pasture. 
 
 U). We have a beautiful picture of the pastoral life, in 
 L
 
 J 22 
 
 the book of Genesis : Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and tluiir 
 tainilies, were sbeplicrds or husbandmen of tlie earliest 
 ages. It will be seen, that tlieir wealth consisted in their 
 llocks and live stock ; and that they roamed over the 
 country to find pasture. 
 
 11. In Africa, among the Americans, and in most 
 parts of Asia, there exists to this day, no proi)erty in the 
 land ; hence, in those countries, there is little cultivation ; 
 and subsistence is precarious ; notwithstanding the fertili- 
 ty of the soil, and the genial character of the climates. 
 
 I'-i. The recognition and protection of property in the 
 soil, is the basis of industry, plenty, and social improve- 
 ment ; and is therefore, one of the most important steps 
 in the progress of man, from llie savage, to the civilized 
 state. 
 
 lo. As soon as any man could call a spot of ground 
 his own, and could secure to his family the produce of 
 it; he would carefully cultivate, sow and pliuit it; know- 
 ing that he should reap the reward of his labour in the 
 season of harvest, 
 
 14. Countries, however, in general, lie open; with 
 noth.ing but banks and ditches to divide the land of eve- 
 ry husbandman : but in all civilized countries, each sep- 
 arate farm is divided from others by hedges and fences ; 
 and the farms themselves, are subdivided into small 
 onclosares. 
 
 J. 5. In France, Gor'many, Italy, Spain, and most otlier 
 natiojis, the land still remains unenclosed, in large open 
 fields ; and those countries, in consequence, present a 
 dreary appearance. 
 
 IG. Soils are divided into cMycy, loamy, chalky, 
 sandy, gravelly, peaty, and moory. The clayey and 
 loamy are called stiff or strong soils; and the sandy and 
 gravelly, light soils. 
 
 17. Soils arc barren, when they consist of too much 
 of one kind of material, do not hold moisture, or are too 
 .shallow. They are fertile, when they contain a due mix- 
 ture of the several primitive earths, with vegeliiblc and ani- 
 mal matter. 
 
 18. To render a l)arren soil fertile, it requires to be 
 frequently turned up to the air, and to have manures 
 mixed with it; wliicli manures consist of animal dungs, 
 decayed vegetables, lime, marl, sweepings of streets, &c.
 
 123 
 
 19. On many farms, cows are kept for the milk they 
 yield ; and for the purpose of making butter or cheese. 
 Butter is made from cream by agitating it in a churn ; 
 and is the oi!y part of the cream. Cheese is made from 
 milk by curdling it with rennet; and the curd is. then 
 pressed, shaped and dried. 
 
 20. The rennet is the inside of the stomach of a calf; 
 and is kept in pickle for the purpose of setting the curd. 
 The cheese would be white, if the milk were not pre- 
 viously coloured with Spanish arnotta. The largest 
 cheese farms in England, are in Cheshire and Denbigh- 
 shire ; and on some of these, 500 miich cows are kept. 
 In the United States, the largest dairies are in New- 
 England and New York. 
 
 21. Farmers likewise extract cider from apples ; perry 
 from pears ; and delicious win«s from various fruits. 
 
 22. The Potato, so considerable and wholesome a 
 portion of our food, was unknown in Europe, about two 
 centuries ago ; and was brought from America by sir 
 Walter Raleigh. The period is on record, (500 years be- 
 fore Christ,) when the hrst wheat was brought uito Eu- 
 rope from Asia Minor. Peas, beans, and ail other gra,in, 
 are exoticks in england. 
 
 2o. Such, also, is the art of man, that he improves 
 whatever he cultivates. By grafting buds of superior 
 fruits on ordinary stocks, he amends, and even alters, 
 the natural produce of the tree ; and by managing and 
 selecting his seeds, he improves and enlarges every vege- 
 table production.

 OF ARCHITECTURE. 
 
 1. After the art of building had attained what was 
 useful and necessary ; luxury would aim at ornament, — 
 an ingenious carpenter would become a carver ; and an 
 ingenious stone-mason, a sculptoi*. 
 
 2. The pillars, which supported the work, would not be 
 allowed to be quite plain ; but would be cut or carved 
 in ornaments, at the head and base ; and other parts of 
 the room, or structure, would be made to correspond. 
 Hence arose the different orders of Architecture. 
 
 3. Five of the orders of architecture were successively 
 invented in ancient Greece and Italy ; and are called the 
 Tuscan, the Dorick, the Iomck, the Corinthian, and the 
 Composite : they are to be found in all the principal 
 buildings of the Christian world. 
 
 4. The Saxons, also, had a simple style of architec- 
 ture ; distinguished by semi-circular arches and massive 
 plain columns: these still are found in many of our oldest 
 buildings.
 
 130 
 
 5. The Normans, too, invented a beautiful style of 
 architecture, calleci the Gothick ; distin^niished by its light- 
 ness and profuse ornaments; by its pointed arches; ancj 
 by its piliars, carved to imitate scvf^ral conjoined. 
 
 6. The Gothick architecture is found in all our oh! 
 catliedrals; and is often elegantly adopted in private 
 duolIi!t'j;s. 
 
 7. The Hindoos, Egyptians, Chinese, and Moors, have 
 likewise their own separate styles of ornamental building; 
 and notliing can be more grand, harniunious, and pic- 
 turesque, than the splendid specimens, which are to be 
 seen in their several countries.

 OF THE MECHANICAL POWERS. 
 
 1. That body, which communicates motion to anotiier; 
 is called the Power. 
 
 2 That body, which receives motion from another, is 
 called the Weight. 
 
 3. The instruments called Mechonical Powers are the 
 following ; viz. the Lever, of which there are three kinds 
 (but one is shown in the Cut;) the Wheel and Axis, the 
 Pallcif, the Inclined Plane, the Screw and Wedge. 
 
 A. Without the aid of art, man could not raise massy 
 stones to the tops of churches and palaces ; he could 
 jiot apply immense beams of timber to his purposes ; in 
 phort, he would still have been a builder of huts and 
 cottages. He, however, soon discovered the use of a 
 iever ; and the principle of that power he soon applied, 
 in various shaoes. 
 
 5. A lever is the foundation of all the mechanical 
 
 ;">owers. It is nothing more than a straight stick or bur 
 
 '?f wood or iron ; and any common lever may be applied 
 
 o an object by way of experiment : a pnktr, s.frc-: have/, 
 
 »r iralding-stick, ibr the purpose of ilhjstration, is as 
 
 -ood a Irver as any tiiat could be made. Lay a shovel 
 
 cross a fender, and put a large coal into it, then balance 
 
 le coai with the hand at the other end of the shovel ;
 
 132 
 
 in this situation, the sliovel is a lever, the fender is the 
 fulcrum, the coal is the lod^ht or resistance, and the hand 
 IS the power to raise and overcome >it. 
 
 6. The grand principle then of mechanicks is this, — 
 that toe gain in poiver wkat we hse in motion; and hence, 
 the strength of one man could move the earth, if he 
 could bring his strength to act upon it with such a velo- 
 city, as there is difference betwixt his power, and the 
 weight of the earth. 
 
 7. The property of the simple lever is exemplified in 
 the steelyard used by the butchers for weighing meat; 
 E.nd in the iron crow. 
 
 ""I'llll "   ' 
 
 8. The IV/iecl and Axis is a wheel turning round to- 
 Cjether with its axis; the power is applied to the circuni- 
 fertince of the Wheel, and the mig/it to that of the axi?, 
 by Uicaus of cords. 
 
 9. The Pulley is a small wheel, moveable about its 
 ?..\is, by means of a cord, which passes over it. 
 
 10. Single puUnjs merely improve the purchase ; but 
 covipovvtl pvlhjfs enable the bands of those who j)ull 
 them, to move over twice the space according to th*; 
 number of pulleys ; hence, two acting pulleys increase 
 t)j«^' power fuur times, and three increa.se it six'timcii. 
 
 J J. Inclined planes, or sides of hilJs, wedges, scic-.\.'.,
 
 133 
 
 jacks, Slc, are all used in mechanicks, on the same prin- 
 ciple: their power depends on the proportion between 
 the height actually attained, and the length of the plane 
 moved over. 
 
 12. The Screw is a cylinder, which has either a promi- 
 nent or a hollow line, passing round it in a spiral form ? 
 and if a lever be added to it as it presses, the power gained 
 is so great, that a man can multiply his own strength many 
 thousand times. 
 
 13. The Wedge is composed of two inclined planes, 
 whose bases are joined. 
 
 REMARKS, 
 
 A body put in motion would move for ever, if it were 
 not for the friction of the parts, and the resistance of the 
 air, which alone stop it. A fourth of all power is lost in 
 machinery, from Friction and Resistance ; hence, the use 
 of oil to soften the parts ; the necessity of smooth roads 
 for wheel-carriages; and hence, various contrivances called 
 friction-wheels for diminishing friction. 
 
 GEOGRAPHY AND ASTRONOMY. 
 
 1. Geography describes the surface of the earth; 
 the shape and size of the land and seas ; the boundaries 
 of empires and states, and their climates and natural pro- 
 ductions. 
 
 2. It also teaches the character of the inhabitants ; 
 heir government, religion, manufactures, and modes of 
 iving ; and it ought to enable us to avoid their errors, and 
 
 profit by their experience. 
 
 3. The Sun, to which we are under such sensible 
 obligations for light, heat, and vegetation ; and without 
 whose genial influence all the Earth would become a dark, 
 solid mass of ice, is 900,000 miles in diameter ; and the 
 earth is 95 millions of miles distant from it. 
 
 4. The Sun is the centre of a vast system of planets, 
 or globes like the earth ; all of which move round it 
 at immense distances, in periods which include the various 
 seasons to each, and are therefore a year to each. 
 
 5. The Sun has been commonly considered a globe 
 of fire. But this has been doubted by modern astrono- 
 mers, particularly by the celebrated Ilerschel, by whom 
 
 M
 
 134 
 
 that great planet is cwrsidered an inhabitable globe some- 
 what like our own ; and that its luminous properties which 
 affect our globe, are derived from its atmosphere. A 
 number of macula:, or dark spots, by means of a tele- 
 scope, may, however, be seen on its surface, but without 
 any regular periodical returns. 
 
 Great source of day ! best image here below 
 Of thy Creator, ever pourinor wide, 
 From world to world, the vital ocean round, 
 On Nature, write with every beam, His praise. 
 
 Soul of surroundings worlds I 
 
 'Tis by thy secret, strong attractive force, 
 
 (As with a chain indissolubly bound.) 
 
 Thy system rolls entire ; from the far bourn 
 
 Of utmost " Herschel" wheeling wide his round 
 
 Of" eighty' years ; to Mercury, whose disk 
 
 Can scarce be caught by philosophick eye, 
 
 Lost in the near effulgence of thy blaze. Thomson. 
 
 6. There are also a multitude of bodies, some as large 
 as the earth, called Cometa, which exhibit very peculiar 
 phenomena of the Sun. The Planets move round him in 
 orbits nearly circular, but Comets almost touch the Sun 
 in one part of their orbit, and then stretch out into space 
 thousands of millions of miles. 
 
 7. The twinkling stars, of which we see so many, 
 every clear evening, do not belong to our solar system, 
 but are supposed to be so many Suns to other systems 
 like ours. 
 
 8. Each Star is supposed to be the centre of its own 
 system ; and to have planets, moons, and comets moving 
 round it at immense distances, like those of our solar 
 system ! 
 
 Bright legions swarm unseen, and sing, unlicard 
 
 By mortal ear, the glorious Architect, 
 
 In this his universal temple, hung 
 
 Witli lustres, with innumerable lights. 
 
 That shed religion on the soul ; at once, — 
 
 The temple and the preacher I O how loud, 
 
 It calls Devotion ! genuine growtli of nigiit ! 
 
 — Devotion ! daughter of Astronomy ! 
 
 An undevout astronomer is mad ! YouNC. 
 
 9. They are called fixed stars, because they never 
 appear to move, and are so distant, that, although the 
 orbit of the earth is twice 95 millions, or 190 millions
 
 135 
 
 of miles across ; and we are consequently Iw'w ...iinons 
 of miles nearer to some stars at one time than we are at 
 another, yet the stars always appear in the same places. 
 
 Oh Nature ! all sufiicient i over all ! 
 
 Enrich me with a knowledge of thy works ! 
 
 Snatch me to heaven ; and show thy wonders there ;— 
 
 World beyond world, in infinite extent, 
 
 Profusely scattered o'er the blue immense. Thomsok. 
 
 45. The distance of the nearest of the fixed stars from 
 the earth is estimated to be not less than many thousand 
 millions of miles, and they are all of them probably as 
 far distant from each other. They appear to fill infinite 
 space in vast clusters or systems, and our sun is supposed 
 to be one of that amazing cluster of stars, whose myriads 
 form that bright cloud or path in the heavens, called the 
 Milky Way. 
 
 'Twas God who form'd the concave sky, 
 And all the shining orbs on high : 
 Who gave the various beings birth 
 That people all the spacious earth. 
 'Tis HE that bids the tempest rise, 
 And rolls the thunder through the skies. 
 His voice the elements obey : 
 Thro' all the earth extends his sway; 
 His goodness all his creatures share : 
 But man is his peculiar care. — 
 Then, while they all proclaim his praise, 
 Let man his voice the loudest raise.

 READING LESSON IV. 
 
 LITERATURE. 
 
 1. After the invention of letters, the genius of man 
 taking diflerent directions, some of them excelled in po- 
 etical, and some in prosaick compositions. These again 
 assumed different characters, according to the subjects 
 treated of. 
 
 2. Hence, we have in Verse, epick poems, descriptive 
 poems, and elegiack, dramatick, and satirical poems : 
 
 3. And in Prose-writing, we have historical, descrip- 
 tive, didactick, and epistolary compositions of an almost 
 infinite variety of kinds and qualities. 
 
 4. Poetry is the glowing language of impassioned 
 feeling, generally found in measured lines, and often in 
 rhyme. 
 
 5. Most ancient people have had their poets; and 
 among the Hebrews they were called prophets. 
 
 David was an inspired poet of the Hebrews : 
 Homer, one of the earliest poets of the Greeks : 
 Ossian, an ancient poet of the Scots : 
 Taliesen, an ancient poet of the Welsh : 
 And Odin, an early poet of the Scandinavians. 
 
 6. The Greeks were the fathers of poetry, literature, phi- 
 losophy, and the arts. Homer was the first and the prince 
 of poets : and he celebrated the siege of Troy, in the 
 Iliad and Odyssey, two epick poems, which never have, 
 and perhaps, never will be surpassed.
 
 139 
 
 7. In the same line of poetical composition, he_ivaS 
 followed, after 900 years, by Virgil, in the JEne\d : 
 
 8. By Tasso, after another 1500 years, in the Jerusa- 
 lem Delivered. 
 
 9. And by Milton, about 150 years ago, in Paradise 
 Lost ; — the finest poem ever written after the Iliad. 
 
 10. All these were so many miracles of human genius : 
 besides these great names, there have been many other 
 poets, whose works would vie with those of any age or 
 country. 
 
 11. Poetry is classed under the heads epick, or heroick ; 
 dramatick, or representative ; lyrick, or such as is suited 
 to musick, as odes, songs, &-c. ; didactick, or instructive ; 
 elegiack, or sentimental and affecting ; satirical, epigram- 
 matick, or witty and ludicrous ; and pastoral, or descrip- 
 tive of rustick life. 
 
 12. Versification, in the English language, depends on 
 the modulation of the accents, and the disposition of the 
 pauses. It is either rhyme, or recurring rhyme, alter- 
 nate, or interchanging rhyme, or in triplets of three lines; 
 or blank verse, in which the metrical principle is in the 
 pauses, the lines flowing into each other. 
 
 13. The heroick verse consists of ten syllables ; and 
 its harmony depends oh the regular distribution of ac- 
 cented and unaccented syllables ; and its character of 
 solemnity or liveliness, depends on the order of those 
 syllables. 
 
 14. Thus, when the accent is on every other syllable, 
 it is called iambick verse ; as 
 
 A sAfpherd's boy, he seeks no higher name, 
 Lied forth his flock, beside the silver Thame. 
 
 15. The monotony of recurring accents is obviated by 
 the varied disposition of the ccesural pause. When this 
 pause is on the fourth syllable, the strain is smooth and 
 airy : as 
 
 Soft is the strain, | when zephyr gently blows, 
 
 And the smooth stream, | in smoother murmur flows. 
 
 IG. Or, it is still quicker, when placed at the second 
 syllable ; as, 
 
 Not 60, I when swift Camilla scours the plain.
 
 140 
 
 i^. The following affords instances of various pauses, 
 which give as many different effects to the lines : — 
 
 friend, ( may each domestick bliss be thine ; 
 Be no unplcasing melancholy | mine. 
 
 Or, 
 
 Mo, I let the tender oflioe long engage, 
 To rock the cradle ( of declining age. 
 
 Or, 
 
 O cruel, beauteous, | ever lovely, tell, 
 Is it in heaven | a crime to love to dwell ? 
 
 18. The anapcBstick, or dactyhck verse,iswhere the ac- 
 cent falls on every third syllable ; as, 
 
 I am ?nonarch of all I survey, 
 My right there is 7ionc to dispute ; 
 From the ctnixe all round to the sea, 
 1 am lord of the /oici and the brute. 
 
 Or, 
 
 'Tis night I and the landscape is lovely no more ; 
 
 1 mourn ; \ but ye jr««f/lands | I mourn not for you ; 
 For morn is a]iproacli\ng, your cjMrms to restore, 
 Refreshed with fresh //"^gram^gind glitt'nng with dcio.

 THE COLONISTS. 
 
 Mr. Barlow one day invented a play for his cliildren, 
 on purpose to show them what kind of persons and profes- 
 sions are the most useful in society, and particularly in a 
 new settlement. It was called the Colonists. Colonists 
 are the people who go to live together in a new country. 
 Mr. Barlow was the founder of the colony. Founder 
 is a beginner. Profession is a man's business or trade. 
 
 "Come," said Mr. Barlow, to his boys, ".I have a new 
 
 play for you. I will be the founder of a colony ; and you 
 
 shall be people of different trades and professions, coming 
 
 ' to offer yourselves to go with me. — What are you, Arthur V 
 
 A. I am a farmer, sir. 
 
 3Ir. B. Very well ! Farming is the chief thing we have 
 to depend upon. The farmer puts the seed into the earth, 
 and takes care of it when it is grown to the ripe corn ; 
 without the farmer we should have no bread. But yoci 
 must work very hard ;- there will be trees to cut down, and 
 roots to drag out, and a great deal of labour. 
 
 A. I shall be ready to do my part. 
 
 Mr. B. Well, then I shall take you willingly, and as 
 many more such good fellows as you can find. We shall 
 have land enough ; and you may fall to work, as soon as 
 you please. Now for the next. 
 
 Beverly. I am a miller, sir. 
 
 Mr. B. A very useful trade ! our corn must be ground, 
 or it will do us but little good ; what must wc do for a 
 miH, my friend ? 
 
 B. I suppose we must make one. 
 
 Mr. B. Then we must take a mill-wright with us, and 
 carry mill-stones. Who is next? 
 
 Charles. I am a carpenter, sir. 
 
 Mr. B. The most necessary man that could ofTer. We 
 shall find you work enough, never fear. There will be 
 houses to build, fences to make, and chairs and tables 
 besides. But all our timber is growing ; we shall have 
 hard work to fell it, to saw boards and planks, to hew tim- 
 ber, and to frame and raise buildings. 
 
 C. I will do my best, sir. 
 
 Mr. B. Then I engage you, bnt you had better bring 
 two or three able hands along with you. 
 Dclville. I am a blacksmith,
 
 150 
 
 Mr. B. An excellent companion for the carpenter. V/e 
 cannot do without either of you. But do you understand 
 .siioeins: horses 1 
 
 DelviUc. I hope you will find me not only skilful m 
 this business, but merciful too. I do not curse and swear 
 and beat with my hammer tlie faithful horse, when, if an- 
 noyed by flies, or pricked by a nail, he happens to cringe 
 or start. Nor do I fit the shoe by burning away tiie 
 Jioof; this detestable practice so generally followed by 
 jcrnorant blacksmiths saves them some trouble in u.siiijr 
 the butteris, for the hot .shoe, by heating, softens the hoof 
 and renders it more easily pared. The consecjuence is, 
 cracked or contracted hoofs, and lame or ruined horses. 
 
 Mr. B. You have said enough, I am convinced of both 
 vour theory and skill. You are the very man we want. 
 You must bring your great bellows, anvil, and vice, and. 
 we will set up a forge lijr you, as soon as we arrive. By 
 the bv, we shall want a mason for that. 
 
 jEdivard. I am one, sir. 
 
 3fr. B. Though we may live in log houses at first, we 
 shall want brick work, or stone work, for chimneys, hearths, 
 and ovens, so there will be employment for a mason. Can 
 you make bricks, and burn lime 1 
 
 B. I will try what I can do, sir. 
 
 3fr. B. No man can do more. I engage you. AVho 
 is next 1 
 
 Francis. I am a shoemaker. 
 
 Mr. B. Shoes we cannot do well without, but I fear 
 Ave shall get no leather. 
 
 P. But I can dress skins, sir. 
 
 Mr. B. Can you '? Then you are a clever fellow. I 
 will have you, though I give you tjouble wages. 
 
 Gcorgr. 1 am a tailor, sir. 
 
 Mr. B. We must not go naked ; so there will be work 
 for the tailor. But you are not above mending, I hope, 
 lor we must not mind wearing patched clothes, while we 
 work in the woods. 
 
 G. I am not, sir. 
 
 Mr. B. Then I engage you, too. 
 
 Ilrnry. I am a silversmith, sir. 
 
 Mr. B. Then, my friend, you cannot go to a worse 
 place than a new colony to set up your trade in. 
 
 H. But I uuder.stand clock and watch making too.
 
 151 
 
 3Ir. B. We shall want to know how time goes, but wc 
 cannot afford to employ you. At present, you had better 
 stay where you are. 
 
 Jasper. I am a barber, and hair dresser. 
 
 Mr. B. What can we do with you 1 If you will shave 
 our men's rough beards once a week, and rrop their hairs 
 once a quarter, and be content to help the carpenter the 
 rest of the time, we will take you. But you will have no 
 ladies to curl, or gentlemen to powder, I assure you. 
 
 Lacis. I am a doctor. 
 
 Mr. B. Then, sir, you are very welcome ; we shall 
 some of us be sick, and we are likely to get cuts, and 
 braises, and broken bones. You will be very useful. We 
 shall take you with pleasure. 
 
 3Iauricc. I am a lawyer, sir. 
 
 3Ir. B. Sir, your most obedient servant. When we 
 are rich enough to go to law, we will let you know. 
 
 Oliver. I am a schoolmaster. 
 
 Mr. B. That is a very respectable and useful profession 
 — as soon as our children are old enough, we shall be glad 
 of your services. Though we are hard working men, we 
 do not mean to be ignorant ; every one among us must be 
 taught reading and writing. Until we have employment 
 for you in teaching, if you will keep our accounts, and at 
 present read sermons to us on Sundays, we shall be glad 
 to have you among us. Will you go ? 
 
 O. With all my heart, sir. 
 
 Mr. B. Who comes here ? 
 
 Philip. I am a soldier, sir ; will you have me 1 
 
 Mr. B. We are peaceable people, and I hope we shaB 
 not be obliged to fight. We are all soldiers and must learn 
 to defend ourselves ; we shall have no occasion for you un*- 
 lessyou can be amechanick or a farmer as wel} as a soldier. 
 
 Robert. I am a gentleman, sir. 
 
 BIr. B. A gentleman ! And what good can you do us ? 
 
 R. I expect to shoot game enough for my own eating ; 
 you can give me a little bread and a few vegetables ; and 
 the barber shall be my servant ? 
 
 Mr. B. Pray, sir, why should we do all this for you ? 
 
 R. Why, sir, that you may have the credit of saying, 
 that you have 07ie gentleman at least in your colony. 
 
 Mr. B. Ha, ha, ha ! A fine gentleman truly. Sir, when 
 we desire the honour of your company, we will send for you.

 BRUTUs' SPEECH ON. THE DEATH OP CES.\11. 
 
 Romans, Countrymen, and Lovers, 
 
 1. Hear me, for my cause; and be silent that you may 
 hear. Believe me, for mine honour ; and have respect 
 for mine honour, that you may believe. Censure me, in 
 your wisdom ; and awake your senses, that you may the 
 better judge. 
 
 2. If there be any in this assembly, any dear friend of 
 
 •Cesar, to him I say, that Brutus' love to Cesar was no 
 less than his. If then, that friend demand, why Brutus 
 rose against Cesar, this is my answer ; not that I loved 
 Cesar less, but that I loved Rome more. 
 
 3. Had you rather Cesar were living, and die all slaves, 
 than that Cesar were dead, to live all freemen 1 As Ce- 
 sar loved me, I weep for him ; as he was fortunate, I re- 
 joice at it ; as he was valiant, I honour him ; but, as he 
 was ambitiouSj I slew him. 
 
 4. There are tears for his love, joy for his fortune, hon- 
 our for his valour, and death for his ambition. Who is here 
 so base, that he would be a bondman 1 If any, speak, 
 for him have I oftended. 
 
 5. Who is here so rude, that he would not be a Roman 1 
 If any, speak; for him have I offended. Who is here so 
 vile, that he will not love his country ? If any, speak ; 
 for him have I offended. I pause for a reply. 
 
 6. None? Then none have I offended. I have done no 
 more to Cesar than you should do to Brutus. And as I 
 slew my best lover for the good of Rome, I reserve the 
 same dagger for myself, whenever it shall please ray 
 country to need mv death.

 THE DAY OF LIFE. 
 
 1. The morning hours of cheerful light, 
 Of all tlie day are best : 
 
 But as they speed their hasty flight, 
 If every hoar is s])eiit aright, 
 We sweetly sink to sleep at night, 
 And pleasant is our rest. 
 
 2. And life is like a summer's day, 
 It seems so quickly past : 
 
 Youth is the morning, bright and gay, 
 And if 'tis spent in wisdom's way, 
 We meet old age without dismay. 
 And death is sweet at last. 
 
 ON AUTUMN. 
 
 1. 1 pass'd by the grove, and the leaves were fast falling, 
 And chilly the north wind did blow ; ^ 
 
 The quail whistl'd loud, for her brood she was calling,   
 A shelter to find from the snow. 
 
 a. The small birds of summer, that us'd to awaken 
 
 The peasants with sounds from the hill, 
 Have now left our groves, and the vales are forsaken 
 
 Of notes from the shrill whip-poor-will. 
 
 Q. How solemn the prospect of Nature appear'd — 
 
 The meadows are stript of their green — 
 The lily has faded — the rose disappear'd — 
 
 How transient ! how short to be seen ! 
 
 4. The changes of seasons, exact in their order, 
 Iloll round on the swift wings of time, 
 
 That man may discover the works of his Maker, 
 And youth learn a lesson sublime. 
 
 5. So, when in the winter of life youVe declining, 
 Fix your thoughts on the hav'n of rest ; 
 
 Trust in a Saviour, and cease all repining, 
 That you may for ever be blest.
 
 161 
 
 THE WINTER'S DAY. 
 
 ^^^mM0^^M 
 
 1. When raging storms deform the air, 
 Antl clouds of snow descend ; 
 
 And the wide landscape, bright and fair, 
 No deepen'd colours blend ; 
 
 2. When biting frost rides on the wind, 
 Bleak from the north and east, 
 
 And wealth is at its ease reclin'd, 
 Prepar'd to laugh and feast ; 
 
 3. When the poor trav'ller treads the plain, 
 All dubious of his way, 
 
 And crawls with night increasing pain. 
 And dreads the parting day ; 
 
 4. When poverty in vile attire. 
 Shrinks from the biting blast, 
 
 Or hovers o'er the pigmy fire, 
 And fears it will not last ; 
 
 5. When the fond mother hugs her child 
 Still closer to her breast ; 
 
 And the poor infant, frost-beguil'd, 
 Scarce feels that it is prest ; 
 
 6. Then let your bounteous hand extend 
 Its blessings to the poor ; 
 
 Nor spurn the wretched, while they bend

 breviated or written in only initials.
