 THE very flattering reception which the former 
 editions of this work met with from the public, has 
 encouraged the Author to spare no pains in render- 
 ing the third still more worthy of their notice. 
 Nearly two thousand words, with appropriate ex- 
 planation and just accentuation, not inserted in 
 Dr. Johnson's Dictionary, and selected from the 
 writings of our most eminent modern authors, 
 namely, Blackstone, Burke, Chesterfield, Bryant, 
 Hawkesworth, Gray, Mason, Shenstone, Cowper, 
 .flair, Gibbon, Warton, &c. &c. have been carefully 
 ingrafted on the present edition. The beauty of 
 the type (which was cast designedly for the work), 
 combined with the neatness of the printing, cannot 
 fail, it is presumed, of obtaining for it an additional 
 claim to public favour.

PREFACE. 
 
 At a time when a just and polite pronunciation of the 
 English tongue has become, as it were, the criterion of a 
 liberal education ; and that the pulpit, the senate, the bar, 
 and the stage, recognize the grace it adds to elocution — 
 the importance of such an acquisition must be obvious to 
 every person. Indeed, since our most eminent orthoe- 
 pists, Sheridan and Walker, have published their elaborate 
 dictionaries, a prosodial error has become as grating to 
 ^e ear, as a syntactical one, in writing, is offensive to the 
 eye of the accurate grammarian. Our language, which 
 before was, in respect to pronunciation, subject to the 
 caprice of pedants and provincial barbarism, has been 
 rescued in a great degree, by their laudable exertions, 
 from these inconveniences, and led to assume a regular 
 and systematic modulation, founded at once on the bases 
 of reason and analogy. By the plain rules and institutes 
 they have laid down, the pupil may be taught, at an early 
 age, to fashion his lisping accents, and to articulate with 
 accuracy and precision all the classical words in the ver- 
 nacular language. 
 
VI 
 
 It is true that some* preceding orthoepists contributed 
 by their prosodial researches to reduce the vague and 
 fluctuating pronunciation of our language to a standard ; 
 but, as the organic formation of its letters, their different 
 powers, accentuation, &c. &c. are more critically and 
 philosophically examined into and explained by Mr. She- 
 ridan and Mr. Walker, we may venture to affirm, that the 
 rules and precepts laid down by them ought to be the 
 models of our imitation. 
 
 With this view of the subject, the editor has undertaken 
 to compile this neat pocket volume. In the execution of 
 the work, he has (as the title expresses) endeavoured to 
 unite all that is truly useful in the dictionaries of our three 
 principal lexicographers, viz. Johnson, Sheridan, and Wal- 
 ker. As to the orthography, that of Johnson (with few 
 exceptions) has been retained, and the explanatory matter 
 has been selected from the same author, and adapted to 
 the capacities of youth, for whose use principally the work 
 is designed. The pronunciation of the words is given 
 according to the scheme of Walker, which is more plain 
 and simple than that of Sheridan ; and where they differ, 
 the pronunciation of the latter is also given according to 
 his own scheme of the alphabet. To insert the pronun- 
 ciation of words in Sheridan's dictionary in which Walker 
 has agreed with him, it was thought would be an useless 
 redundancy; all such have therefore been omitted. By 
 the plan adopted, the reader, if any dispute or doubt 
 should arise respecting the pronunciation or accentuation 
 
 * The most eminent among these orthoepists are Elphinstone, Kenrick, 
 Scot, Buchanan, W. Johnson, Entick, and Ash. To Mr. Nares also much 
 is due for his labour in this extensive field.

 of any word, will immediately see where these two emi- 
 nent orthoepists differ or agree. Some general prosodial 
 rules and institutes, selected from the introductory matter 
 of the dictionaries of Sheridan and Walker, and calculated 
 to assist the pupil in pronunciation, and also to correct 
 the errors in pronouncing, which the Irish, Scotch, Welsh, 
 and even the Londoners themselves, lapse into, are pre- 
 fixed to the work. 
 
 Such is the outline of the plan of the Union Dic- 
 tionary, which may be said to be less voluminous than 
 the octavo edition of Johnson, but much more comprehen- 
 sive than any small English dictionary extant ; in the most 
 of which a meagre explanation of the term (without the 
 additional advantage of the schemes of Sheridan and 
 Walker) is annexed: and to impress the explanation of 
 each word with greater authority, an abridged name of 
 the author who used it is also given as in Johnson. This 
 is not done in any other abridgment of his dictionary. 
 Many words have been also inserted in this dictionary 
 which are not to be found in Johnson, Walker, or Sheri- 
 dan ; in accenting which, however, the system of Walker 
 has been adhered to. 
 
 To conclude — the editor needs only to say, that his 
 sole object was, by condensing the three principal dic- 
 tionaries, to bring their matter, as it were, to a focus, and 
 thereby furnish youth, at a small expense, with a book 
 calculated at once to explain, in a familiar manner, every 
 approved word in our language, and at the same time to 
 grace it with the purest and most polite pronunciation.- — 
 He also presumes that the stability given by these die- 
 
Y1U 
 
 tionaries to the orthography and pronunciation of the 
 English language, embodied in the present work, cannot 
 but proved great desideratum to all foreigners who 
 study it 
 
 
 
PROSODIAL 
 
 RULES AND ELEMENTS, 
 
 Selected from the Prefatory Matter prefixed to the Dictionaries of 
 
 WALKER and SHERIDAN. 
 
 AS the proposed object of the Union Dictionary (its title implies it) 
 is to comprehend at once all that is truly useful in our three principal 
 Lexicographers, namely, Johnson, Sheridan, and Walker, and, as the 
 putting, as it were, the two last, our most eminent Orthoepists, side by side, 
 where they differ in pronunciation, is the main object of our plan; at the 
 same time that the most useful and approved part of the explanatory matter 
 of Johnson, with little deviation from his Orthography, has been carefully 
 selected, some of the most useful Prosodial Rules and Institutes annexed to 
 the respective Dictionaries of Walker and Sheridan may be deemed the 
 most appropriate to the present Work. 
 
 The first principles or elements of pronunciation are letters :

In considering the sounds of these first principles of language, we find 
 that some are so simple and unmixed, that there is nothing required but the 
 opening of the mouth to make them understood, and to form different 
 sounds ; whence they have the names of vowels^ or voices, or vocal sounds. 
 On the contrary, we find that there are others, whose pronunciation de- 
 pends on the particular application and use of every part of the mouth, as 
 the teeth, the lips, the tongue, the palate, &c. which yet cannot make 
 any one perfect sound but by their union with those vocal sounds ; and 
 these are called consonants, or letters sounding with other letters. 
 
 Classification of Vovoels and Consonants. 
 
 Vowels and consonants being thus defined, it will be necessary in the next 
 place to arrange them into such classes as their similitudes and specific dif- 
 ferences seem to require. 
 
 Letters, therefore, are naturally divisible into vowels and consonants. 
 
 The vowels are a, e, i, o, u; and y and w when ending a syllable. 
 
 The consonants are b, c, d,f g t h i j 1 &, I, m^n^p, q } r, s, t, v, x, 2, and y and 
 w when beginning a syllable. 
 
 The vowels may be subdivided into such as are simple and pure, and into 
 such as are compound and impure. The simple or pure vowels are such as 
 require only one conformation of the organs to form them, and no motion 
 in the organs while forming. 
 
 The compound or impure vowels are such as require more than one con- 
 formation of the organs to form them, and a motion in the organs while 
 forming.

 compound or impure vowels. 
 
 Diphthongs and Triphthongs enumerated. 
 
 The vowels forming but one'syllable are generally called a diphthong; and 
 three a triphthong. These are the following:

Consonants enumerated and distinguished into Classes* 
 
 The consonants are divisible into mutes, semivowels, and liquids. 
 
 The mutes are such as emit no sound without a vowel, as b, p, t, d, k, and 
 e and g hard. 
 
 The semi-vowels are such as emit a sound without the concurrence of a 
 vowel, as/, v, s, z, x, g soft, orj. 
 
 The liquids are such as flow into, or unite easily with, the mutes, as 
 I, m, n, r. 
 
 But, besides these, there is another classification of the consonants, of 
 great importance to a just idea of the nature of the letters, and that is, 
 into such as are sharp or flat, and simple or aspirated. 
 
 The sharp consonants are p,f t, s, k, c hard. 
 
 The flat consonants are b, v, d, z, g hard. 
 
 The simple consonants are those which have always the sound of one let- 
 ter unmixed with others, as b, p,f, v, &,g hard, and g soft, 0*1,7. 
 
 The mixed or aspirated consonants are those which have sometimes a 
 hiss or aspiration joined with them, which mingles with the letter, and 
 alters its sound, as t in motion, dm soldier, s in mission, and 2 in azure. 
 
 There is another distinction of consonants arising either from the seat of 
 their formation, or from those organs which are chiefly employed in form- 
 ing them. The best distinction of this kind seems to be that which divides 
 them into labials, dentals, gutturals, and nasals. 
 
 The labials are, b,p,f, v. The dentals are t, d, s, z, and soft^ or j. The 
 gutturals are k, q, c hard, and g hard. The nasals are m, n, and ng. 
 
 These several properties of the consonants may be exhibited at one vie\y 
 in the following table, which may be called

 Organic Formation of the Vowels. 
 
 It will be necessary to observe, that there are three long sounds of the 
 letter a, which are formed by a greater or less expansion of the internal 
 parts of the mouth. 
 
 The German a, heard in ball, wall, &c. is formed by a strong and grave 
 
expression of the breath through the mouth, which is open nearly in a cir- 
 cular form, while the tongue, contracting itself to the root, as to make way 
 
 * for the sound, almost rests upon the under jaw. 
 
 4 The Italian a, heard in father, closes the mouth a little more than the 
 s German a; and by raising the lower jaw, widening the tongue, and advanc- 
 < ing it a little nearer to the lips, renders its sound less hollow and deep. 
 I The slender a, or that heard in lane, is formed in the mouth still higher 
 
 * than the last ; and in pronouncing it, the lips, as if to give it a slender sound, 
 z dilate their aperture horizontally; while the tongue, to assist this narrow 
 
 * emission of breath, widens itself to the cheeks, raises itself nearer the palate, 
 and by these means a less hollow sound than either of the former is pro- 
 duced. 
 
 The e in e-qual is formed by dilating the tongue a little more, and advanc- 
 ing it nearer to the palate and the lips, which produces the slenderest 
 vowel in the language ; for the tongue is, in the formation of this letter, as 
 j close to the palate as possible, without touching it, as the moment the 
 i tongue touches the palate, the squeezed sound of ee in thee and meet is 
 formed, which, by its description, must partake of the sound of the conso- 
 nant y. 
 
 The i in i-dol is formed by uniting the sound of the Italian a in father and 
 % e in e-qual, and pronouncing them as closely together as possible. 
 
 The o in o-pen is formed by nearly the same position of the organs as the 
 i * in water; but the tongue is advanced a little more into the middle of the 
 i mouth, the lips are protruded, and from a round aperture like the as when a 
 j is fonned, but advances to the middle or hollow of the mouth. 
 
 The u in u-nil is formed by uniting the squeezed sound ee to a simple 
 
 j vowel sound, heard in zvoo and coo; the oo in these words is formed by pro- 
 
 i trading the lips a little more than in o, forming a smaller aperture with 
 
 them, and, instead of swelling the voice in the middle of the mouth, bringing 
 
 it as forward as possible to the lips. 
 
 T final in try is formed like ?', and to final in novo; like the oo, which has 
 just been described. 
 
 Organic Formation of Consonants. 
 
 The best method of shewing the organic formation of the consonants will 
 be to class them into such pairs as they naturally fall into, and then by 
 describing one, we shall nearly describe its fellow ; by which means the 
 labour will be lessened, and the nature of the consonant better perceived. 
 The consonants that fall into pairs are the following: 
 
 p 
 
 f 
 
 t 
 
 s 
 
 sh 
 
 tk 
 
 h 
 
 ch 
 
 chair 
 
 % 
 
 V 
 
 d 
 
 z 
 
 zh 
 
 dh 
 
 g 
 
 3 
 
 jail 
 
 The upper rank of these letters may be called breathing consonants; and 
 the lower, vocal ones. 
 
 Organic Formation of each Letter. 
 
 P and B are formed by closing the lips till the breath is collected, and 
 then letting it issue by forming the vowel e. 
 
 F and V are formed by pressing the upper teeth upon the under lip, 
 and sounding the vowel e before the former and after the latter ©f these 
 
 letters. 
 
T and D are formed by pressing the tip of the tongue to the gums of the 
 upper teeth, and then separating them, by pronouncing the vowel e. 
 
 S and Z are formed by placing the tongue in the same position as in 
 Tand D, but not so close to the gums as to stop the breath; a space is left 
 between the tongue and the palate for the breath to issue, which forms the 
 hissing and buzzing sound of these letters. 
 
 SH heard in mission, and zh in evasion, are formed in the same seat of 
 sound as s and z; but in the former the tongue is drawn a little inwards, and 
 at a somewhat greater distance from the palate, which occasions a fuller 
 effusion of breath from the hollow of the mouth than in the latter • which 
 are formed nearer to the teeth. 
 
 TH in think, and the same letters in that, are formed by protruding the 
 tongue between the fore teeth, pressing it against the upper teeth, and at the 
 same time endeavouring to sound the s or z; the former letter to sound th in 
 think, and the latter to sound ih in that. 
 
 K and G hard are formed by pressing the middle of the tongue to the roof 
 of the mouth near the throat, and separating them a little smartly to form 
 the first, and more gently to form the last of these letters. 
 
 CH in chair, and J mjail, are formed by pressing t to sh, and d to zh. 
 
 Mis formed by closing the lips, as in P and B, and letting the voice issue 
 by the nose. 
 
 iVis formed by resting the tongue in the same position as in T or D, and 
 breathing through the nose, with the mouth open. 
 
 L is formed by nearly the same position of the organs as i and d, but more 
 with the tip of the tongue, which is brought a little forwarder to the teeth, 
 while the breath issues from the mouth. 
 
 R is formed by placing the tongue nearly in the position of t, but at such 
 a distance from the palate as suffers it to jar against it, when the breath is 
 propelled from the throat to the mouth. 
 
 NG in ring, sing, &c. is formed in the same seat of sound as hard g; but 
 while the middle of the tongue presses the roof of the mouth, as in G, the 
 voice passes principally through the nose, as in N. 
 
 Y consonant is formed by placing the organs in the position of e, and 
 squeezing the tongue against the roof of the mouth, which produces ee y which 
 is equivalent to initial y. 
 
 ^consonant is formed by placing the organs in the position of oo, described 
 under u, and closing the lips a little more, in order to propel the breath upon 
 the succeeding vowel which it articulates. 
 
 Of the Quantity and Quality of Vowels. 
 
 The first distinction of sound that seems to obtrude itself upon us when 
 we utter the vowels, is a long and a short sound according to the greater or 
 less duration of time taken up in pronouncing them. This distinction is so 
 obvious as to have been adopted in all languages, and is that to which we 
 annex clearer ideas than to any other: and though the short sounds of some 
 vowels have not in our language been classed with sufficient accuracy with 
 their parent long ones; yet this had bred but little confusion, as vowels Ion 0- 
 and short are always sufficiently distinguishable ; and the nice appropria- 
 tion of short sounds to their specific long ones is not necessary to our con- 
 veying what sound we mean, when the letter to which we apply these sounds 
 is known, and its power agreed upon. 
 
 The next distinction of vowels into their specific, sounds, which seems to 
 be the most generally adopted, is that which arises from the different aper- 
 tures of the mouth in forming them. It is certainly very natural, when we 
 
 b 
 
have so many more simple sounds than we have characters by which to 
 express them, to distinguish them by that which seems their organic 
 definition; and we accordingly find vowels denominated by the French 
 cuvert and ferme; by the Italians aperto and chiuso; and by the English open 
 and shut. 
 
 Consonants. 
 
 So numerous are the remarks that must naturally occur in treating of 
 the pronunciation of the different consonants, that they would far exceed 
 the space allotted to the introductory matter annexed to this work. 
 
 Articulation, (extracted from Sheridan.) 
 
 A good articulation consists in giving every letter in a syllable its due 
 proportion of sound, according to the most approved custom of pro- 
 nouncing it; and in making such a distinction between the syllables of which 
 words are composed, that the ear shall without difficulty acknowledge their 
 number; and perceive, at once, to which syllable each letter belongs. 
 Where these points are not observed, the articulation is proportionably 
 defective. 
 
 Distinctness of articulation depends, primarily, upon being able to form 
 the simple elements or letters by the organs of speech ; and in the next 
 place, in distinguishing properly the syllables of which words are com- 
 posed from each other; which can only be done by a just pronuncia- 
 tion. 
 
 The chief source of indistinctness is too great a precipitancy of utter- 
 ance. To cure this, the most effectual method will be. to lay aside an hour 
 every day, to be employed in the practice of reading aloud, in a manner 
 much slower than is necessary. This should be done in the hearing of some 
 person, whose office it should be to remind the reader, if at any time he 
 should perceive him mending his pace, and falling into his old habit. 
 
 There is one cause of indistinct articulation which operates very gene- 
 rally, and which arises from the very genius of our tongue ; so that, unless 
 great care be taken, it is scarcely possible to escape being affected by it. 
 Every word in our language, composed of more syllables than one, has one 
 syllable accented, and thus peculiarly distinguished from the rest; and if 
 this accented sy^able be properly articulated, the word will be sufficiently 
 known, even though the others are sounded very confusedly. This produces 
 a negligence with regard to the pronunciation of the other syllables; which, 
 though it may not render the sense obscure, yet destroys all measure and 
 proportion, and consequently all harmony in delivery. This fault is so 
 general, that I would recommend it to all who are affected by it, to pro- 
 nounce the unaccented syllables more fully than is necessary, till they are 
 cured of it. 
 
 Of the Nature of Accent, {extracted from Walker.) 
 
 Accent, in its very nature, implies a comparison with other syllables less 
 forcible; hence we may conclude, that monosyllables, properly speaking, 
 have no accent: when they are combined with other monosyllables and 
 form a phrase, the stress which is laid upon one, in preference to others, 
 is called emphasis. As emphasis evidently points out the most significant 
 word in a sentence, so, where other reasons do not forbid, the accent al- 
 ways dwells with greatest force on that part of the word which, from its 
 
importance, the hearer has~ always the greatest occasion to observe; and 
 this is necessarily the root or body of the word. But as harmony of ter- 
 mination frequently attracts the accent from the root to the branches of 
 wojrds, so the first and most natural Saw of accentuation seems to operate 
 less in fixing the stress than any of the other. Our own Saxon termina- 
 tions, indeed, with perfect uniformity, leave the principal part of the 
 word in quiet possession of what seems its lawful property ; but Latin and 
 Greek terminations assume a right of preserving their original accent, 
 and subject many of the words they bestow upon us to their own classical 
 laws. 
 
 Accent, therefore, seems to be regulated, in a great measure, by etymo- 
 logy. In words from the Saxon, the accent is generally on the root; in 
 words from the learned languages it is generally on the termination ; and 
 if to these we add the different accent we lay on some words, to distinguish 
 them from others, we seem to have the three great principles of accentuation j 
 namely, the radical, the terminational, and the distinctive. 
 
 Radical Accent, 
 
 As our language borrows so largely from the learned languages, it is not 
 wonderful that its pronunciation should be in some measure influenced by 
 them. The rule for placing the Greek accent was indeed essentially differ- 
 ent from that of the Latin; but words from the Greek, coming to us through 
 the Latin, are often so much latinized, as to lose their original accent, and 
 to fall into that of the Latin ; and it is the Latin accent which we must 
 chiefly regard, as that which influences our own. 
 
 The first general rule that may be laid down is, that when words come to 
 us whole from the Greek or Latin, the same accent ought to be preserved as 
 in the original. Thus horizon, sonorous, decorum, dictator, gladiator, mediator, 
 delator, spectator, adulator, &c. preserve the penultimate accent of the original ; 
 and yet thp antepenultimate tendency of our language has placed the accent 
 on the first syllable of orator, senator, auditor, cicatrix, plethora, &c. in opposi- 
 tion to the Latin pronunciation of these words, and would have infallibly 
 done the same by abdomen, bitumen, and acumen, if the learned had not step- 
 ped in to rescue these classical words from the invasion of the Gothic ac- 
 cent, and to preserve the stress inviolahly on the second syllable. Nor has 
 even the interposition of two consonants been always able to keep the accent 
 from mounting up to the antepenultimate syllable, as we may see in mini- 
 ster, sinister, character, &c; and this may be said to be the favourite accent 
 of our language. 
 
 Terminational Accent. 
 
 To form an idea of the influence of termination upon accent, it will be 
 sufficient to observe, that words which have ei, ia, ie, io, eou, in their termi- 
 nation, always have the accent on the preceding syllable : thus atheist, alien, 
 regalia, ambrosia, &c. the numerous terminations in ion, ian, &c. as gradation, 
 promotion, confusion, logician, physician, &c. those in ion, as harmonious, abstemious, 
 &c. those in eous, as outrageous, advantageous, &c. These may not improperly 
 be styled semi-consonant diphthongs. 
 
 The onl} r exceptions to this rule are one word in iac, as elegiac, which has 
 the accent on the i, and the following words in iacal, as prosodiacal, cardiacal, 
 heliacal, genethliacal, maniacal, demoniacal, ammoniacal, theriacal, paradisiacal, 
 aphrodisiaccd, and hypochondriacal; all which have the accent on the antepenul- 
 timate i, and that long and open, as in idle, tittle, &c.

Enclitkal or distinctive Accent. 
 
 I have ventured to give the name of enclitkal to the accent of certain 
 words, whose terminations are formed of such words as seem to lose their 
 own accent, and throw it back on the last syllable of the word with which 
 they coalesce, such as theology, orthography, &c. The readiness with which 
 these words take the antepenultimate accent, the agreeable flow of sound 
 to the ear, and the unity it preserves in the sense, are sufficient proof's of 
 the propriety of placing the accent on this syllable, if custom were am- 
 biguous. 
 
 Secondary Accent. 
 
 The secondary accent is that stress we may occasionally place upon an- 
 other syllable, besides that which has the principal accent, in order to pro- 
 nounce every part of the word more distinctly, forcibly, and harmoni- 
 ously. Thus this accent is on the first syllable of conversation, commenda- 
 tion, &c. 
 
 Of Pronunciation, {extracted from Sheridan.) 
 
 Pronunciation may be considered in a twofold light: first, with regard to 
 propriety; secondly, with regard to elegance. With regard to propriety, 
 it is necessary that each word should have its due accent, and each letter its 
 proper sound. This is all that is required in the pronunciation of words 
 separately considered; and is the chief point treated of in the former part 
 of this Grammar. With respect to elegance, beside propriety, proportion 
 of sound also is to be taken in; and this regards the delivery of words as 
 arranged in sentences; and this is the point which I shall now chiefly con- 
 sider. 
 
 As there has been no method hitherto laid open of attaining even the first 
 part, 1 mean the mere propriety of pronouncing words, it is no wonder that 
 the second, or ornamental part, has been entirely neglected. That which 
 gives delight to the ear in the utterance of articulate sounds, is founded 
 upon the same principle as that which pleases in musical composition, 
 1 mean proportion: and this has a twofold reference, to time, and to 
 sound. 
 
 Our early notionsof quantity are all imbibed from the Latin prosody; in 
 which the difference between long and short syllables is established by rules 
 that have no reference to the ear, the sole competent judge in this case; in- 
 somuch that syllables are called long, which are the shortest that can be 
 uttered by the organs of speech ; and others are called short, which take up 
 much longer time in pronouncing than the former. The mind thus taking a 
 bias under the prejudice of false rules, never after arrives at a knowledge of 
 the true nature of quantity ; and accordingly we find that all attempts hitherto 
 to settle the prosody of our language, have been vain and fruitless. 
 
 In treating of the simple elements or letters, I have shewn that some, 
 both vowels and consonants, are naturally short; that is, whose sounds can- 
 not possibly be prolonged ; and these are the sounds of ^, } , and &, of vocal 
 sounds, and three pure mutes, k, p, t, of the consonant, as in the words beck, 
 
 lb, dt. 
 
 1 have shewn also, that the sounds of all the other vowels, and of the con- 
 sonant semi-vowels, may be prolonged to what degree we please; but at the 
 same time it is to be observed, that all these may also be reduced to a short 
 
quantity, and are capable of being uttered in as sbort a space of time as 
 those which are naturally short. So that they who speak of syllables as 
 absolutely and in their own nature long, the common cant of prosodians, 
 speak of a non-entity ; for though, as I have shewn, there are syllables ab- 
 solutely short, which cannot possibly be prolonged by any effort of the 
 speaker; yet it is in his power to shorten or prolong the others to what de- 
 gree he pleases. 
 
 I have said that in pronouncing words, when the accent is on the vowel, 
 the syllable is long ; when on the consonant, short ; by which 1 mean that 
 the Reader should dwell on the vowel when accented, in order to make it 
 long ; and pass rapidly over it, giving a smart stroke to the following conso- 
 nant, when the accent is on that. But this rule is so far from being attended 
 to, that for the most part the accented vocal syllables are pronounced in as 
 short a space of time as the accented consonant ; by which means all pro- 
 portional quantity in our tongue is utterly destroyed, and the whole appears 
 a rapid gabble of short syllables. 
 
 To obviate this I would recommend it to every one to pay a particular 
 attention to every vocal accented syllable, and to dwell upon it so long as to 
 make it double the quantity of the short ones. Without this, speech must 
 be deprived of all smoothness and harmony. 
 
 It has been said above, that when the accent is on the consonant the sylla- 
 ble should be sounded short, and this rule in general holds good. Yet there 
 are cases in which the sound of the consonant may be dwelt upon, and the 
 syllable thus rendered long. 
 
 Syllabication.' 
 
 Dividing words into syllables is a very different operation according to the 
 different ends proposed by it. The object of syllabication may be, either to 
 enable children to discover the sound of words they are unacquainted with, 
 or to show the etymology of a word, or to exhibit the exact pronunciation 
 of it. 
 
 Rules to be observed by the Natives of Ireland, in order to obtain a just Pronun- 
 ciation of English. 
 
 As Mr. Sheridan was a native of Ireland, and had the best opportunities of 
 understanding those peculiarities of pronunciation which obtain there, his 
 observations on that subject are extracted as the best general direction. 
 
 The reader will be pleased to take notice, that as Mr. Walker has made a 
 different arrangement of the vowels, and has adopted a notation different 
 from Mr. Sheridan, he was obliged to make use of different figures to mark 
 the vowels, but still such as perfectly correspond to his. 
 
 " The chief mistakes made by the Irish in pronouncing English, lie for 
 the most part in the sounds of the two first vowels, a and e; the former 
 being generally sounded * by the Irish, as in the word b*r, in most words 
 where it is pronounced \ as in day, by the English. Thus the Irish say, 
 patron, matron, the vowel 3 having the same sound as in the word father • 
 whilst the English pronounce them as if written paytron, may iron. The fol- 
 lowing rule, strictly attended to, will rectify this mistake through the whole 
 language. 
 
 " When the vowel a finishes a syllable, and has the accent on it, it is in- 
 variably pronounced 4 [day] by the English. To this rule there are but 
 three exceptions in the whole language to be found in the words f|ther, papa, 
 mami The Irish may think also the word rather an exception, as well as, 
 
 b 3 
 
father; and so it would appear to be in their manner of pronouncing it nther 
 laying the accent on the vowel a; but in the English pronunciation the con- 
 sonant th is taken into the first syllable, as thus, rath'er, which makes the 
 difference. 
 
 t( Whenever a consonant follows the rowel a in the same syllable, and 
 the accent is on the consonant, the vowel a has always its fourth sound, as 
 h t, m*n ; as also the same sound lengthened when it precedes the letter r, 
 a s fir, b^r, though the accent be on the vowel ; as likewise when it precedes 
 Im, as b*im, ps*lm. The Irish, ignorant of this latter exception, pronounce 
 all words of that structure as if they were written hawm, psawm, guawn, ccmm, 
 &c. In the third sound of a, marked by different combinations of vowels, 
 or consonants, such as au, in Paul; aw, in law; all, in call; aid, in bald; 
 etlk, in talk, &c. the Irish make no mistake, except in that of Im, as before 
 mentioned. 
 
 "The second vowel, e, is for the most part sounded ee by the English, 
 when the accent is upon it; whilst the Irish in most words give it the sound 
 cf slender \, as in hate. This sound of * [ee] is marked by different combi- 
 nations of vowels, such as ea, ei, e final, mute ee, and ie. In the two last 
 combinations of ee and ie, the Irish never mistake; such as in meet, seem, field, 
 believe, &c; but in all the others, they almost universally change the sound 
 of e into a. Thus in the combination ea. they pronounce the words tea, sea, 
 please, as if they were spelt, lay, say, plays', instead of tee, see, pleese. The 
 English constantly give this sound to ea whenever the accent is on the vowel 
 e, except in the following words, great, a pear, a bear, to bear, to forbear, to 
 swear, to tear, to wear. In all which the e has the sound of ^ in hHe. For 
 want of knowing these exceptions, the gentlemen of Ireland, after some time 
 of residence in London, are apt to fall into the general rule, and pronounce 
 these words as if spelt greet, beer, swear, &c- 
 
 " 2?i is also sounded ee by the English, and as a by the Irish ; thus the word 
 deceit, receive, are pronounced by them as if written desate, xesave. Ei is al- 
 wa3 r s sounded ee, except when a g follows it, as in the words reign, feign, deign, 
 &c. ; as also in the words rein (of a bridle), rem-deer, vein, drein, veil, heir, 
 which are pronounced like rain, vain, drain, vail, air. 
 
 " The final mute e makes the preceding e in the same syllable, when ac- 
 cented, have the sound of ee, as in the words supreme, sincere, replHe. This 
 rule is almost universally broken through by the Irish, who pronounce all such 
 words as if written supreme, sincere, replHe, &c. There are but two excep- 
 tions to this rule in the English pronunciation, which are the words there, 
 where. 
 
 " In the way of marking this sound, by a double e, as thus ee, as the Irish 
 never make any mistakes, the best method for all who want to acquire the 
 right pronunciation of these several combinations is, to suppose that ea, ei, 
 and e, attended by a final mute e, are all spelt with a double e, or ee. 
 
 «* Ey is always sounded like * by the English, when the accent is upon it; 
 as in the words prey, convey, pronounced pray, convny. To this there are but 
 two exceptions, in the words key and liy, sounded hee, lee. The Irish, in at- 
 tempting to pronounce like the English, often give the same sound to ey, as 
 usually belongs to ei; thus for prey, convey, they say, pree, convee. 
 
 " A strict "observance of these few rules, with a due attention to the 
 very few exceptions enumerated above, will enable the well-educated natives 
 of Ireland to pronounce their words exactly in the fame way as the more po- 
 lished part of the inhabitants of England do, so far as the vowels are con- 
 cerned. The diphthongs they commit no -fault in, except in the sound of}, 
 which has been already taken notice of ia the Grammar: where, likewise, 
 the only difference in pronouncing any of the consonants has been pointed 
 out; which is, the thickening the sounds of d and t, in certain situations 
 and .an easy method proposed of correcting this habit, &c."

 Rules to be observed by the Natives of Scotland, for attaining a just Pronunciation 
 of English. 
 
 That pronunciation which distinguishes the inhabitants of Scotland is of 
 a very different kind from that of Ireland, and may be divided into the quan- 
 tity, quality, and accentuation, of the vowels. With respect to quantity, it 
 may be observed, that the Scotch pronounce almost all their accented vowels 
 long. Thus, if I am not mistaken, they would pronounce habit, haii-bit ; tepid, 
 tee-pid; sinner, seener ; conscious, cone-shus ; and subject, soobject : it is not pre- 
 tended, however, that every accented vowel is so pronounced, but that such 
 a pronunciation is very general, and particularly of the i. This vowel is 
 short in English pronunciation where the other vowels are long; thus evasion,, 
 adhesion, emotion, confusion, have the a, e, o, and u, long ; and in these in- 
 stances the Scotch would pronounce them like the English; but in vision, de- 
 cision, &c. where the English pronounce the i short, the Scotch lengthen this 
 letter by pronouncing it like ee t as if the words were written vee-sion, decee- 
 sion, &c. and this peculiarity is universal. The best way, therefore, to cor- 
 rect this, wili be to make a collection of the most usual words which have the 
 vowel short, and to pronounce them daily till a habit is formed. 
 
 With respect to the quality of the vowels, it may be observed that the 
 inhabitants of Scotland are apt to pronounce the a like azv, where the English 
 give it the slender sound: thus Satan is pronounced Sawtan, and fatal, faw- 
 ial. It may be remarked too, that the Scotch give this sound to the a pre- 
 ceded by iv, according to the general rule, without attending to the excep- 
 tions ; and thus, instead of making wax, waft, and twang, rhyme with tax, 
 shaft, and hang, they pronounce them so as to rhyme with box, soft, and 
 song. The short e in bed,fed, red, &c. borders too much upon the English 
 sound of a in bad,lad, mad, &c. and the short i in bid, lid, rid, too much on 
 the English sound of € in bed, led, red. To correct this error, it would be 
 useful to collect the long and short sounds of these vowels, and to pronounce 
 
the long ones first, and to shorten them by degrees till they are perfectly 
 short: at the same time preserving the radical sound of the vowel in both. 
 Thus the correspondent long sounds to the e in bed, fed, red, are bade, fade, 
 rade, and that of the short i in bid, lid, rid, are bead, lead, reed; and the former 
 of these classes will naturaily lead, the ear to the true sound of the latter, the 
 only difference lying in the quantity. The short o in not, lodge, got, &c. is 
 apt to slide into the short u, as if the words were written, nut, ludge, gut, &c. 
 to rectify this, it should be remembered, that this o is the short sound of aw, 
 and ought to have the radical sound of the deep a in ball. Thus the radical 
 sound corresponding to the o in not, cot, sot, is found in naught, caught, sought, 
 &c. and these long sounds, like the former, should be abbreviated into the 
 short ones. But what will fetid greatly to clear the difficulty will be, to re- 
 member that only those .voids have the o sounded like short u when the 
 accent is upon it; and with respect to u, in bull, full, pull, &c. it may be 
 observed, Thar the pronunciation peculiar to the English is only found in 
 the words enumerated. 
 
 In addition to what has been said, it may be observed that oo in food y 
 mood, moon, soon, &c. which ought always to have a long sound, is generally 
 shortened in Scotland to that middle sound of the u in bull; and it must be 
 remembered; that zvool, wood, good, hood, stood, foot, are the only words where . 
 this sound of oo ought to take place. 
 
 Errors in the 'Pronunciation of the Welsh. 
 
 Besides a peculiarity of inflexion, which I take to be a falling cirenmflex,. 
 directly opposite to- that of the Scotch, the Welsh pronounce the sharp con- 
 sonants and aspirations instead of the flat. Thus for big they say pick; for 
 blood, phot; and (or good, coot. Instead of virtue and vice, they say frtue and 
 fee; instead of Zealand prdi se. they say seal and prace: instead of these and 
 "those, they say thece and thoce ; and instead of azure and osier, they say aysher 
 and osher ; and for jail, chail. Thus there are nine distinct consonant sounds 
 which, to the Wel«h, are entirely useless. To speak with propriety, there- 
 fore, the Welsh ought for some time to pronounce the flat consonants and 
 aspirations only; that is, they ought not only to pronounce them where 
 the letters require the fiat sound, but even where they require the sharp 
 sound; this will be the best way to acquire a habit; and when this is once 
 done, a distinction will be easily made, and a just pronunciation move 
 readily acquired- 
 
 faults of ike Londoners, who ought to be the purest Models of Pronunciation. 
 1st. Pronouncing s indistinctly after st. 
 
 The letter s after st, from the very difficulty of its pronunciation, is 
 often sounded inarticulately. The inhabitants of London, of the lower 
 order, cut the knot, and pronounce it in a distinct syllable, as if e were 
 before it; but this is to be avoided as the greatest blemish in speaking; 
 the three last letters in posts i fids, mists, &c. must ail be distinctly heard in 
 one syllable, and without permitting the letters to coalesce. For ths- 
 
acquiring of this sound, it will be proper to select nouns that end in st or 
 ste ; to form them into plurals, and pronounce them forcibly and distinctly 
 every day. The same may be observed of the third person of verbs ending 
 in sts or sles, as persists, wastes, hastes, &c. 
 
 2d. Pronouncing w for v, and inversely. 
 
 The pronunciation of v for zv, and more frequently of w for v, among 
 the inhabitants of London, and those not always uf the lower order, is a 
 blemish of the first magnitude. The difficulty of remedying this defect is 
 the greater, as the cure of one of these mistakes has a tendency to promote 
 the other. 
 
 Thus, if you are very careful to make a pupil pronounce veal and vinegar, 
 not as if written zveal and zoinegar, you will find him very apt to pronounce 
 zvine and ivind as if written vine and vind. The only method of rectifying 
 this habit seems to be this: let the pupil select from a dictionary, not only 
 all the words that begin with v, but as many as he can of those that have 
 this letter in any other part. Let him be told to bite his under lip while he 
 is sounding the v in those words, and to practise this every day till he pro- 
 nounces the v properly at first sight: then, and not till then, let him pursue 
 the same method with the w; which he must be directed to pronounce by a 
 pouting out of the lips, without suffering them to touch the teeth. Thus, by 
 giving all the attention to only one of these letters at a time, and fixing by 
 habit the true sound of that, we shall at last find both of them reduced to 
 their proper pronunciation in a shorter time than by endeavouring to rectify 
 them both at once. 
 
 3d Not sounding h after w. 
 
 The aspirate h is often sunk, particularly in the capital, where we do not 
 find the least distinction of sound between while and wile, whet and wet, where 
 and were, &c. The best method to rectify this is, to collect all the words 
 of this description from a dictionary, and write them down; and instead 
 of the wh to begin them with hoo in a distinct syllable, and so to pronounce 
 them. Thus let while be written and sounded hoo-ile; whet, hoo-ei ; where, 
 hoo-are; whip, koo-ip, &c. This is no more, as Dr. Lowth observes, than 
 placing the aspirate in its true position before the w, as it is in the Saxon, 
 which the words come from; where we may observe, that though we have 
 altered the orthography of our ancestors, we have still preserved their pro- 
 nunciation, 
 
 4 th. Not sounding h where it ought to be sounded, and inversely . 
 
 A still worse habit than the last prevails, chiefly among the people of 
 London, that of sisking the h at Ihe beginning of words where it ought 
 to be sounded, and of sounding it, either where i-t is not seen, or where it 
 
ought to be sunk. Thus we not unfrequently hear, especially among children, 
 heart pronounced art, and arm, harm. This is a vice perfectly similar to that 
 of pronouncing the v for the tv, and the to for the v, and requires a similar 
 method to correct it. 
 
 5th. Sounding r after some words ending in ow. 
 
 It is not uncommon to hear many low Cockneys sounding the letter r after 
 exv, m fellow, window, &c For idea they also say idean
