This Stereotype edition of a work which has been honoured with an almost
unprecedented reception by the public, appears under the advantage of a peculiarly
clear and distinct letter, cut for the purpose; which cannot fail in a high degree to
increase its general utility: It has also been very carefully revised, corrected, and im-
proved throughout. -
On the useful invention of Mr. Sheridan a valuable improvement had been made
by the late Mr. Walker, whose dictionary is a work of much labour and great merit.
Though entertaining, however, a high respect for the talents of this latter gentleman;
yet I presume to think it will appear, in the course of the following pages, that even
his work did not establish English orthoepy beyond the possibility of still nearer
approaches to accuracy. - -
The objects of this volume are threefold: ORTHography, ORTHoepy, and
DEFINITIon; and, on each of these, a few brief remarks solicit the reader's attention.
IV PREFACE.
ORTHoGRAPHY. —In this particular I have followed Dr. Johnson, though that very
great man was certainly not infallible. Hence we see him spell miscal with a single,
and recall with a double l, &c. &c. It will be said, perhaps, that he cites authorities;
but I have been always inclined to think, that those authorities were intended by him
to corroborate his definitions of words, without any reference to their orthography:
let it be observed (and one instance may serve the purpose as well as a thousand), that
in the spelling of the word ransome with a final e he not only deviates from common
usage, but from etymology also, and that his quotations would contradict instead
of supporting him; for he derives it from the French rançon, and of five quotations
that follow, not one has the word spelt with the e final. Beside, the printed works
, of our best poets, and other most eminent writers, certainly ought never to be produced
as specimens of the orthography of the writers themselves; the books are much oftener
indebted for their accuracy in that particular to the judgment of the printer, or
corrector of the press, who generally disregards any uncouth or improper spelling
that he meets with in his author's copy, and makes it agreeable to the orthography
in best estimation. To prove that Pope, Dryden, Etherege, &c. &c. ought never at
this day to be resorted to as authorities in orthography, it will be quite sufficient
to inspect any of their letters that have been printed from the originals; in which
we shall find Pope's mother “ afrayd of the dust,” Dryden retrieving a lady's “ own
guifts,” and Etherege talking of a woman “who has been lukely [luckily] thought
agreeable,” &ck.
* See the Gentleman's and European Magazines, and other repertories of original letters and
literary curiosities. *
PREFACE. V.
ORTHoepy.—This being the principal object of the present work, I have given
it the most diligent attention, with the view of acquiring for it the character of
pre-eminent accuracy; and I trust, that not a word occurs which (if sounded strictly
according to the key that is run across the top of each page) will not be found to give
the true pronunciation with great exactness.
**
I have heard it remarked, that there is an uncouthness and apparent difficulty in
the dzh of our orthoëpy, as in Åb-stèr'dzh, &c. To this it may be answered, that nothing
else could be substituted, except the English j, which Mr. Walker has employed
(āb-stèr'je); but by foreigners, particularly by natives of France, this will inevitably
be used with the soft sound of the French j, and the word in which it occurs will be
mispronounced (e.g.) Ab-stèr'zh. Placing, however, a d before the zh or the j, as I have
dome, gives the proper hardness of sound, and renders it impossible to pronounce the
word otherwise than properly.
With a view to decrease the number of distinctive marks in the key, and thereby
facilitate the student's labour, I had removed the third i (?) of the early editions,
perceiving that its power was exactly the same as that of the third e (3), which is now
used in its stead. My design of reduction, however, was defeated; for I found it
necessary to accuracy of pronunciation, that I should introduce a fourth a (3) : for
though I have not been implicitly guided by any of my predecessors, I have occasionally
been indebted to them all; but chiefly (I gratefully acknowledge it) to Mr. Walker.
In the use of the fourth a, however, I have differed materially from those who have
gone before me. Mr. Sheridan, indeed, has not in any one instance introduced this
fourth sound of a; and Mr. Walker has, I think, been too sparing in the use of it.
v1 PREFACE.
The former gentleman must certainly have felt the want of this sound in such
words as half, calf, psalm, ah, father, &c. which it is impossible to pronounce accurately
with the same a that is used in hat, camp, man, &c.
Mr. Walker's more correct ear led him to admit this fourth sound of a (which,
indeed, ranks second in his scheme); but seems to have employed it with too much
timidity: I hope it will not be found that I have been too prodigal in the use of it.
It occurs in this dictionary in such words as läss, last, pāst, àsk, &c.; and I must venture
to express my humble opinion, that giving to those and similar words the flat dead
sound of a in lack, látch, pån, and, &c. is encouraging a mincing modern affectation, and
departing from the genuine diº of our language. †
Let it be asked, for instance, if a difference of sound be not required in the two
words pâssible and pâssable? yet Mr. Walker makes none; or in the words fit, father;
bárren, bärter; carrot, cłrman 2 yet all are marked alike by Mr. Sheridan. If the decision
be against me, I shall have egregiously erred, and will bow to correction. If otherwise,
I shall take credit for no small portion of courage, that could lead me, in a point of ~
such importance, to try a fall with so able a rhetorician as Mr. Walker. I beg,
however, to be allowed to repeat, that though I have in very many instances used this
sound, I have not dome it licentiously or indiscriminately; but have restrained myself
in every instance wherein a shadow of doubt as to its propriety presented itself to my
mind. I consider it as a legitimate English sound, and believe its unmerited degra-
dation and disuse to be of very recent date. To prevent, however, any misconception of
my meaning in the use of this sound, be it observed, that my fourth a, though it is more
open than the a in hat, stops considerably short of the broad protracted pronunciation
so commonly heard among the rustic and the vulgar, who say, father, cſálf, häälf, &c. .
- PREFACE. vri
Again: Mr. Sheridan has not, by any peculiar marks, pointed out the sound of oi
or oy, in noise, cloy, &c. I have, it is hoped, pretty accurately done this by the third a
and the first i or y, as näiz, kläy, &c. Mr. Walker, on the other hand, in his zeal to
attain perfect accuracy, has given distinctive marks of pronunciation to the diphthong
ou in about, ground, &c. But, with great deference, I submit, that the appearance of
ā-bäätº is terrific to the eye of a learner, and that the two vowels will hardly ever
be so perfectly blended as to give the exact diphthongal sound of ou, which may with
more ease be acquired (under the direction of a well-educated mative of London) by
a little practice on the words moun, vow, pout, &c. In this dictionary, therefore, the ow
has been left to such practice, and unencumbered with marks that would distress fifty
students, where they might assist one.
* * ...a , ! . . 3 * * * * §
As no trivial error in Mr. Walker's system, I consider his always using the long e
in place of the short y. Thus, for instance, the word asperity, if pronounced exactly
according to Mr. Walker's scheme of the vowels, (As-pèrlè-té, his & being the long e in me)
will produce the ludicrous sound of aspereetee. Mr. Walker has also marked as similar
sounds the double o in look and tooth, took and tool, though in strictness there is no
smaller difference between them than between long and short, lák, túth, túk, túl.
Notwithstanding some errors and inconsistencies, however, in Mr. Walker's pro-
duction, it has very great merit; and it is no small praise to him to have been the first
to expose the corruptions of Mr. Sheridan's orthoëpy. But much as he did, the present
work, it is presumed, will show that he left something still undone. *
* Mr. Walker has it ā-böät, But these figuras, and those above, are consonant with each other is
the two systems. -
v111 PREFACE.
As to Mr. Sheridan, I confess that I have felt pain when I have seen his dictionary
taken as the sole director of any person studying to acquire a knowledge of English
pronunciation. Mr. Sheridan, for example, marks the word veil, vä’le (which is
perfectly right); but vein, which immediately follows, he marks vén, contrary to all
reason. But observe, he tells his reader (p. iii. of the 8vo edition, 1790) that “the
second sounds of a and e (à and 3) are the same.” Now certainly, though we are still
left at a loss to conceive why he should think it necessary to mark the vowel sound in
veil and vein by different characters, the identity of sound of ā and é in the following
examples cannot be admitted : could Mr. Sheridan mean to tell his students, that
remain, which he marks ré-mă'ne, should be pronounced ramain or remene?
defunct, . . . . . tº e º 'º e º is a s dé-fúnk’t, ... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . dafunct 2 or
epitome, . . . . . . . . . . . . é-pitºö-mé, ... . . . . . . º e º ſº e º e º 'º apitoma?
Either Mr. Sheridan's remark in p. iii. must be erroneous, or his practice throughout
the Dictionary is inconsistent and dangerously improper .”
The foregoing are instances, among others, in which that celebrated orthoëpist
is inconsistent with himself: but in examples like the following, it is strongly to be
presumed that he is erroneous upon principle, and his misconceptions are therefore
the more carefully to be avoided: The word convey is marked by Mr. Sheridan kön-vé;
as if pronounced convee; heir, as if promounced eere; reign, reen; lawsuit, lawshoot;
latitude, lofitshude; covetous, covetshus; mediocrity, mejokrity; vitiate, vishate; zodiac,
zojak; Satiety, sasiety; pertusion, pertshoosion; tune, tshoon, &c. &c.; and this system
has corrupted the promunciation of one of the best and most favourite comedians of the
present dav, who, I observe, whenever the word tutor occurs in his part, invariably
PREFACE. IR
pronounces it tshootor. With equal propriety might Mr. S. have marked duel to be
pronounced djooel, or jewel.
Before I quit the subject of inaccurate pronunciation, I will take the opportunity
of mentioning an error which cannot be charged on any lexicographer or orthoepist
that I ever met with, and which seems attributable to negligence alone: it is very
frequent in ordinary conversation, and not seldom offends the correct ear at our
theatres. Perhaps the reader by this time perceives that I allude to a vicious pro-
nunciation of the i and the e when occurring in the middle of a word, so often
corruptly changed into u, as insiditous, invidious, perfidious, vanütty, charitty, moraliatty,
civilátty, comúddy, tragúddy, &c. &c.
DEFINITIons.—These are chiefly from Dr. Johnson; but I have occasionally inserted
definitions that have obtained reception since the publication of his laborious and
invaluable work”. \
After all, it seems very necessary that, having been thus free in my animadversions
on the errors of others, I should in some manner prepare myself against recrimination.
If then, notwithstanding the anxious attention which I have paid to the sheets in their

preface he says, “I have not always executed my own scheme, or satisfied my own expectations. The
work, whatever proofs of diligence it may exhibit, is yet capable of many improvements; the
orthography which I recommend is still controvertible, the explanations are sometimes too mittch
contracted, and sometimes too much diffused; and of the words most studiously considered and
exemplified many senses have escaped observation,”, *

CHIEFLY EXTRACTED
FROM MR. SHERIDAN # AND DR, JOHNSON.
Prosody is defined by Dr. Johnson to be, “that
part of Grammar which teaches the sound and
quantity of syllables, and the measures of verse.”
It comprizes orthotºpy, or the rules of pronunciation;
and orthometry, or the laws of versification.
PRONUN.CIATION.
Pronunciation is just, when every letter has its
proper sound, and when every syllable has its proper
accent; or, which in English versification is the
same, its proper quantity.
In the English alphabet there appear twenty-six
letters : a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n,
0, p, q, r, S, t, u, V, W, X, Y, Z.
The whole, with regard to sound and letters, may
be exhibited thus:
Vowels. 1st. Sound. 2nd. Sound 3rd Sound. 4th. Sound.
a, ....&t, ...... àle,...... àll, . . . . . .āsk.
e, ..... mét, .... dévout, , , mé.
i,......give, .... wine.
o, .....hèt, ..... vöte, ....]ise.
26, ... • * * .hūt, .... påsh, ....căbe.
g, ..... truly, ....try.
Before the scholar proceeds any farther, it will
be proper for him (in order to make the following
introductory remarks, or even the Dictionary itself,
useful) to get the above scheme by heart; so as to
be able to repeat it readily in the order in which
the words lie on a parallel line.
But, to render more easy a reference to the
different sounds of the figured vowels in any case
of doubt or difficulty, the above scheme has been

run across the top of each page, which will prevent
the trouble and inconvenience of turning back to
this part of the book, on every occasion; or the
still more awkward mode recommended by Mr.
Sheridan, of holding in the hand a copy of the [
scheme whenever the book is made use of.
In this scheme we see that each vowel has several
sounds; and at first view it would seem that we
have no less than seventeen sounds of vowels in
our tongue; on a nearer examination, however, we
shall find several duplicates of the same sound,
only differently marked. Thus the third sound of
é is only the second sound prolonged. The first
sound of 6 in hôt is only the shortened sound of
ă in Åll. The second sound of § is a short sound
of the third á in läse. The first sound of y is the
same as the seeond #, and the second sound of Ś is
exactly similar to the second i in wine, &c.
The consonants are nineteen, and are exhibited
by Mr. Sheridan as follow :
eb, ed, ef, eg, ek, el, em, en, ep, er, es, et, ev, ez,
eth, eth", esh, ezh, ing.
ha, ek or ess, edge, qua, eks or egz.
By sounding (says he) these latter characters in
this maimer, their nature and powers will be

expressed in their names. And I have placed a
vowel before the other consonants, that they may
be all sounded in that manner, contrary to the
usual practice, for a reason to be given hereafter.
Of the nature and formation of the simple sounds.
First, of the vowels; which may be divided into
long and short. When we say long vowels, we do
not mean that they are necessarily long, but that
they are such whose sound may be prolonged ad
libitum, though at the same time capable of being
rendered short; and therefore, strictly speaking,
they should be denominated doubtful.
Long or doubtful vowels
häll....hāt....hâte.... beer.... néte....néose.
On pronouncing them in this order, we perceive
a just and regular scale, by which the voice proceeds
in marking those sounds. ā is the fullest sound,
made by the greatest aperture of the mouth, and
the voice strikes upon that part of the palate which
is nearest to the passage by which the voice issues:
à is formed by a gradually less aperture, and the
stroke of the voice more advanced : â in like
proportion still more so; and in sounding & the
mouth is almost closed, and the stroke of the voice
is near the teeth. These are the only long vowels
formed within the mouth. After that, the seat of
articulation is advanced to the lips; 3 being formed
by a small pushing out of the lips in a figure
A PROSODIAL GRAMMAR.

resembling the circular character which represents,
that sound; and Ś by advancing the lips still more,
and pushing the sound out through a chink or
foramen more of the oblong kind. So that whoever
will give but a slight attention in repeating the
vowels in this order, will perceive a regular and
gradual progression of the voice, from the first seat
of articulation to the extreme; as ä, ä, ä, ö, ä, ö.
The three vowels sounded in the words bêt, fit, būt,
are in their nature short, being incapable of pro-
longation; on which account it would be found
difficult to pronounce them separately, and their
true sounds can be pointed out only in syllables
when they are united to subsequent consonants.
Qf the nature and formation of consonants.
Consonants may be divided into two classes, mutes
and semivowels. The mutes, are those whose sounds
cannot be prolonged; the semivowels, such whose
sounds can be continued at pleasure; partaking of
the mature of vowels, from which they derive their
name. There are six mutes, eb, ed, og, ek, ep, et;
and thirteen semivowels, ef, el, em, en, er, es, ev,
ez, eth, eth, esh, ezh, ing.
The mutes may be subdivided into pure and
impure. The pure, are those whose sounds cannot
be at all prolonged. These are, ek, ep, et. The
impure, are those whose sounds may be continued,
though for a very short space. These are, eb, ed, eg.
The semivowels may be subdivided into vocal and
aspirated. The vocal, are those which are formed
by the voice; the aspirated, those formed by the
breath. There are mine vocal, and four aspirated.
The vocal are, el, em, em, er, ev, ez, eth, ezh,
ing. . The aspirated, ef, es, eth, esh. The vocal
semivowels may be subdivided into pure and impure.
The pure, such as are formed entirely by the voiee,
the impure, such as have a mixture of breath with
the voice. There are five pure—el, em, en, er,
ing. Four impure—ev, ez, eth, ezh.
In order to know the manner of their formation,
it will be proper to divide them into separate classes,
according to the different seats where they are
formed, whether the lips, teeth, palate, or nose;
thence denominated, labial, dental, palatine, and
nasal.
The labial are four, eb, ep, ef, ev.
Dental eight,......ed, et, eth, eth, e2, ess, esh, ezb.
Palatine four, . . . . . eg, ek, el, er.
Nasal three, . . . . . .em, en, ing.
Eb and ep are formed exactly by the same action
of the lips, which is, by closing them and intercepting
the voice; and the only difference between them is,
that in forming eb, the lips at first only gently
touch each other, so as not wholly to prevent some
sounds issuing, and are soon after closed till the
voice he entirely intercepted: whereas in forming
ep, the lips are at once so forcibly pressed together,
as to prevent the issuing of any sound. These two
xi Y
A PROSODIAL GRAMMAR.
are the only genuine labial consonants; that is,
entirely formed by the lips: the other two being
partly labial, and partly dental; that is, they are
formed by the application of the under lip to the
upper teeth, as ef, ev. Here it is also to be observed,
that these two letters are formed by the same
position of the organs, and the only difference
between them is, that ev, is formed by the voice
and breath mixed; ef, by the breath only.
The next in order are the dental, as the seat of
their formation is nearest to the lips. In forming
ed and et the tip of the tongue is pressed against
the upper gums, almost touching the teeth; and
there is no other difference between them than
what was before mentioned with regard to the
labials eb and ep; that in the one, the sound can
be continued; in the other, it cannot. In forming
ed, the tongue at first only gently touches the gum,
and is gradually pressed closer till the sound is
entirely obstructed; whereas in forming et, the
tongue is at once so forcibly and closely pressed
to the same part, that the sound is instantly inter-
cepted.
Eth and eth are formed by placing the tip of the
tongue between the teeth, and pressing it against
the upper teeth; and the only difference between
them is, what was before observed with regard
to ev and ef, that the 'one is formed by the breath
only, the other by the breath and voice mixed. , t
‘Ess and ez are both formed in the same manner,
by turning up the tip of the tongue towards the
upper gums, but so as not to touch them; and
thus the breath and voice being cut by the sharp
point of the tongue, and passing through the narrow
chink left between that and the gums, are modified
into that hissing sound perceptible in the one, and
buzzing noise in the other. Here also the only
difference between them is, the same that was just
mentioned with regard to eth and eth, that ez is
formed by the voice and breath together, ess by
the breath only. l
Esh and ezh are formed by protruding the tongue
towards the teeth, but so as not to touch them;
and thus the voice and breath passing over it through
a wider chink, and not being cut by it on account
of its flat position, have not so sharp a sound as
ess and ez. The same distinction is also to be
observed here, they being both formed by the same
position of the organs, only ezh is by the voice and
breath, and esh by the breath only.
Of this class there are but two that in strict
propriety can be called dental ; and those are eth
and eth, formed by the application of the tongue
to the upper teeth, which are not directly concerned
in producing any of the other sounds; but as the
seat of their formation is close to the teeth, they
have obtained the name of dental, to distinguish
them from these whose seat is farther removed
A PROSODIAL GRAMMAR.

back towards the palate, and thence ealled pa-
latine.
The first of this class are el and er, whose seat
of formation lies a little behind that of ed and et.
El is formed by a gentle application of the end of
the tongue to the roof of the mouth a little behind
the seat of ed. The pressure must be as soft as
possible, so that the sound may not be intercepted;
and in this position the voice glides gently over the
sides of the tongue, which are in a horizontal
posture, in a straight line through the mouth. Er
is formed by a vibrating motion of the tip of the
tongue between the upper and under jaw, without
touching either, and at about the same distance
from the teeth that el is formed.
Farther back towards the palate are formed eg
and ek, by raising the middle of the tongue so as
to touch the roof of the mouth; and the only
difference of their formation is, that in eg the tongue
is not so closely pressed at first but that the sound
may continue for a little while; and in ek, the
voice is wholly intercepted, in the same manner as
was before mentioned in forming ed and et.
The three consonants em, en, ing, make up the
last class, called nasal, on account of the sound's
issuing through the nose. Em is formed by closing
the lips much in the same manner and degree as
in eb, with this difference, that the voice thus stopped
at the lipa, is permitted to pass through the nose.
En is formed much in the same seat, and by
a like application of the organ, as el; only there
is more of the tongue, and more closely applied to
the roof of the mouth, so as in a great measure to
stop the voice from issuing through that passage,
and to force the greater part of it back through
the nose. -
Behind this, much in the same seat, and same
disposition of the organs as in forming the sound eg,
is produced the sound ing, by raising the middle of
the tongue to a gentle contact with the roof of the
mouth, so as that part of the voice may issue
through the mouth, and the remainder be forced
back through the nose. .--
Mr. Sheridan then exhibits, at one view, a scheme
of the whole alphabet, according to the method
above laid down.

Qf diphthongs,
There are two of our diphthongs which have
usually passed for simple sounds, because they are
for the most part marked by single characters,
which are i and ü, as sounded in the words fight,
blüe; the sounds given to these vowels in repeating
our alphabet. But in reality they are perfect
diphthongs. The sound i is composed of the fullest
and slenderest of our vowels, 3 and é; the first
made by the largest, and the latter by the smallest
aperture of the mouth. If we attend to the process
in forming this sound, we shall find that the mouth
is first opened to the same degree of aperture, and
is in the same position, as if it were going to sound
ā; but before the voice can get a passage through
the lips, the under jaw is drawn near to the upper
in the same position as when the vowel é is formed;
and thus the full sound, checked by the slender one,
and coalescing with it, produces a third sound,
different from both, which is the diphthong i.
The diphthong i is composed of the sounds é
and Š; the former so rapidly uttered, and failing
so quickly into the sound ë, that its own distinct
power is not heard; and thus a third sound or
diphthong is formed by the junction of the two
vowels.
The diphthong oi or oy is formed by a union of
the same vowels as that of is that is 3 #; with this
difference, that the first vowel ă, being dwelt upon,
is distinctly heard before its sound is changed by its
junction with the latter vowel é; as oi, noise.
The diphthong ou or ow is composed of the
sounds à and Š; and is formed much in the same
manner así; the mouth being at first in the position

of sounding 3, but before that sound is perfected,
by a motion of the under jaw and lips to the position
of sounding 8, the first sound 3 is checked and
blended with the latter ð, from which results the
diphthong ou or ow, as in thou, now. t
All the other diphthongs of our tongue are formed
by the short sounds of Š and é marked by the
eharacters w and y, preceding all the other vowels
and combining with them: as thus;

T Of the manner of forming certain sounds.
It will be necessary for all who wish to pronounce
English properly, to make themselves perfect in all
the simple sounds and diphthongs enumerated and
explained above, before they proceed any further.
And more particularly foreigners should be con-
stantly exercised in those sounds which are peculiar
to the English, and are not found in their own
tongues. For which purpose (says Mr. Sheridan)
I shall point out such sounds as the French have
not; that being a language generally spoken by
foreigners.
..]n the French tongue are to be found the sounds
*
of all our vowels, and all our consonants, except
eth, eth, and ing. I have already described the
mode of forming the two sounds of eth and eth;
but as these are the peculiar sounds which scarcely
any Frenchman or foreigner can conquer, I shall
be more full in my directions about them. It must
be observed them, that in the French tongue all the
articulations are formed within the mouth, and the
tongue is never protruded beyond the teeth; con-
sequently, unless they are told to do it, they will
never of themselves place the organ in a position
that it never had been in before; so that when they
are urged to pronounce that new sound, as in the
word then, without having the mechanism of the
organs pointed out to them, they naturally utter
the sound that is nearest to it in their own tongue,
and call it den; in like manner they pronounce
thin, tin; changing eth to a d, and eth to a t.
And this they continue to do all their lives in all
words containing those sounds, for want of being
informed of the fellowing plain simple method of
necessarily producing those sounds, if it be but
strictly followed. Suppose then you were desirous
of shewing a foreigner how he should form the
sound eth when it begins a word or syllable. Desire
him to protrude the tip of his tongue between his
teeth and somewhat beyond them; in that position
let him press it against the upper teeth without
at all touching the under; then let him utter any
xvii,
A PROSODIAL GRAMMAR.'
voice with an intention to sound the word then,
and draw back the tongue at the same time behind
his teeth, and the right sound will necessarily be
produced. To pronounce the eth, the organs must
be exactly in the same position, but previous to the
withdrawing of the tongue, instead of any voice,
he must emit breath only, which will as certainly
produce the word thin.
When these sounds end a word or syllable, as in
the words breathe, breath, he must be told, that
instantaneously after sounding the preceding letters,
he is to finish the word by applying the tip of the
tongue to the edge of the upper teeth as before;
and in sounding the word breathe, the voice is to
be continued to the end; whilst in that of breath,
the voice is cut off at the vowel, and the consonant
th is formed by the breath only. In both cases it
will be of use to continue the tongue in the same
position for some time after the formation of the
letter, at the same time prolonging the Sound of
the voice in the former, and of the breath in the
latter, till by practice the sounds become familiar.
The consonant marked by ing, is perhaps peculiar
to the English language. There is a sound in the
French nearly approaching to it, to be found in
such words as dent or camp, and in all their nasal
vowels. The only difference between them is, that
in forming the French sounds, the tongue does not
touch the roof of the mouth as in producing the
English ing, though in other respects it be in
a similar position. If therefore a foreigner wants
to produce this sound, he has only to raise the
middle of his tongue into a gentle contact with the
roof of his mouth in pronouncing any of the nasal
vowels; and in this way the French nasal vowel
sounded in the word dent will be converted into
the English consonant heard in the word ding-dong.
With regard to diphthongs, the English have
several not to be found in the French tongue. Of
this number are the first four enumerated above,
viz. i, ii, oi or oy, and ou or ow. There is a sound
in the French somewhat resembling our i, to be
found in such words as vin, fin, but that there is
a difference between them will be immediately
perceptible by sounding after them our words vine,
fine.. And “he difference consists in this, that their
diphthong is formed of the vowels áé, and ours of
the vowels áé; so that in order to produce that
sound, you are to desire a foreigner to open his
mouth as wide as if he were going to pronounce à,
and meant to sound that vowel; but on the first
effort of the voice for that purpose, to check its
progress by a sudden motion of the under jaw
towards the upper, stopping it in that situatio.1 in
which the sound 8 is formed, and then instantly
cutting off all sound. Thus as the sound of ā is
not completed, nor the sound of § continued, there
results from the union of the two a third sound or
f
f.
g A PROSODIAL GRAMMAR.
XIX
diphthong which has no resemblance to either, and
yet is a compound of both. -
Our diphthong i has also a sound that resembles
it in French, to be found in the words Dieu, mieux;
but the difference will instantly be perceived by
sounding after them our words dew, mew; and it
consists in this, that their diphthong terminates in
the French vowel eu, a sound which we have not in
our tongue, and which is therefore found very hard
to be formed by English organs; and ours terminates
in 8. To form it properly, therefore, a foreigner is
to be told that it is composed of the sounds é and Š,
the first sound not completed, but rapidly running
"into the last; and he is to consider it as ending in
the French ou, not eu. Our pronoun you is an exact
representation to a French eye of the sound of ii.
To form the dipbthong oi or oy, it is necessary
to pronounce the full sound of #, dwelling some
time on the vowel, before the sound is intercepted
by the motion of the under jaw, to the position of
forming the slender sound ü, and then the voice is
instantly to cease. This diphthong differs from
that of i only in this, that the first vowel á is
distinctly heard, before it unites with the latter
vowel é. This diphthong is represented two ways,
either by oi or oy, as in noise, boys.
To produce the diphthong ou or ow, as in out,
owl, it is necessary that there should be the greatest
aperture of the mouth, as if it were about to form
the sound ā; but before that sound is completed
the organs are to change to the position of pro-
nouncing &, by a rapid motion of the under-jaw
towards the upper, and protruding the lips in the
form of sounding $, at the same time stopping the
voice short; and thus, as in the diphthong i, by
having neither the sound of the former nor latter
vowel completed, there arises from the coalescence
of the two, a third sound different from Loth, which
is the diphthong ou or ow. …
All the other diphthongs in our tongue are formed
by the short sounds of § and é, represented by the
characters w and y, and combined with all the other
vowels when they precede them in the same syllable.
To instruct foreigners in the true pronunciation
of these, it will be only necessary to inform them
that our w answers exactly in sound and power to
the French ou, when it forms a diphthong. As for
instance, our pronoun we is individually the same
sound as their affirmative oui; and the mistake
which they constantly commit of sounding that
letter like a v has been owing to their not being
informed of the true nature of the sound, and
taking up their idea of it from the character which
represents it, wherein two interwoven vees (w) are
exhibited to view; but if in all diphthongs com-
mencing with that letter they will place their lips
in the positioſ, of forming the French ou, or English
º, they cannot fail of producing the proper Sound,
XX
A PROSODIAL GRAMMAR.
In like manner, all diphthongs formed by our
y are to be considered by them as answering to
those formed either by their i, as in the words
mieux, viande, bien; or their y, as in the last
syllables of the words voyage, royaume, moyen.
Qf the use and abuse of letters in spelling or
§ representing words.
Such is the state of our written language, that
the darkest hieroglyphics, or most difficult cyphers
which the art of man has hitherto invented, were
not better calculated to conceal the Sentiments of
those who used them from all who had not the key,
than the state of our spelling is to conceal the true
pronunciation of our words, from all except a few
well-educated natives.

Rules relative to the consonants.
B. This consonant has always the same sound
when pronounced, but it is often silent. It is
always so when followed by a t in the same syllable,
as in debt, doubt; or preceded by an m, as tomb
dumb ; as also in the word subtle.
C—is a redundant character when standing by
itself, supplying the place either of a k or an S.
When it takes an h after it, it has its use, which
shall be explained hereafter. It has the sound of
k before the vowels a, o, and u ; of s before e and i.
So that sounding this letter in the following manner,
C3, Cú's ci, GQ, cut,
kä, se, si, kö, kä,
after the several vowels as marked above, will
afford a certain-rule for applying its different sounds
properly; except when preceded by an s in the same
syllable before an e, of which more hereafter.
It is utterly useless when followed by a k in the
same syllable, as in stick, sack, traffick. It has
also another sound, supplying the place of sh,
when it precedes the termination eous or ious;
as in cetaceous, gracious, pronounced setashus,
grashus. It is sometimes silent, as in the word
muscle, indict. t
D. This letter has always the same sound by
those who pronounce English well ; but the pro-
vincials, particularly the Irish, Scotch, and Welsh,
in many words thicken the sound by a mixture of
XXII:
A PROSODIAL GRAMMAR.
breath. Thus, though they sound the d right in
the positives loud and broad, in the eomparative
degree they thicken it by an aspiration; and sound
it as if it were written loudher, broadher. This
vicious pronunciation is produced by pushing the
tongue forward so as to touch the teeth in forming
that sound; and the way to cure it is easy; for as
they can pronounce the d properly in the word
loud, let them rest a little upon that syllable,
keeping the tongue in the position of forming d,
and then let them separate it from the upper gum
without pushing it forward, and the sound der will
be produced of course. For the organ being left
in the position of sounding d at the end of the
syllable loud, is necessarily in the position of
forming the same d in uttering the last syllable,
unless it makes a new movement, as in the case of
protruding it so as to touch the teeth. This letter
is sometimes, though not often, quiescent, as in
the words handkerchief, handsome, handsel.
F—has always its own sound except in the par-
ticle of, where it has the power of a v, and is
sounded ov, to distinguish it from the word off in
sound as well as in spelling. Though it is constant
to its sound when single, yet it is often marked by
two ff's, as in chaff, scoff; sometimes by ph, both
in the beginning and ending of words, as in philo-
sophy, epitaph; and sometimes by gh, as in laugh,
oough; of which more in its proper place.
G—has two sounds, one peculiar to itself, as in
gold; the other in common with j, as in gentle.
The first of these may be called hard, the other
soft g. It has, like c, always its first or hard
sound before the vowels a, o, u ; in general its
second or soft sound before e and y; but is very
dubious before i, so as not to be reducible to any
rule. However, its powers in general may be
known by repeating the following syllables, ga, je,
ji, or gi, go, gu, jy.
Before the vowel e, it has its soft sound in all
words in common use, except gear, geese, geld,
and its derivatives; get, and its derivatives; and
its hard sound is to be found only in some proper
names derived from the Hebrew, or technical terms
from the Greek.
This letter is frequently silent: First, When
followed by an m, as in phlegm ; secondly, By an n,
as in reign, condign; thirdly, By an h, as in light,
sought; except where gh assumes the power of an
f, as in laugh, of which more hereafter.
H. This character is no mark of any articulate
sound, but is a mere sign of aspiration, or effort of
the breath. This is the only power it has when
single, and all words beginning with that letter
are to be preceded by an effort of the breath,
except only the following: heir, honest, honour,
hospital, hostler, hour, humour, humble, humbles.
But it is put to a variety of other uses wherever

the defects of our alphabet are wanted to be sup-
plied: United to c, ch, it stands for the compound
sound tsh, as charm, pronounced tsharm. With t,
it stands for two sounds, then and thin. With s
for esh, as shall. Ch likewise stands for k in
chorus; ph for f in philosophy ; as does gh in
laugh. In conjunction with g too, it serves to
shew that it is silent, as in thought.'
J. This letter is the representative of a com-
pound sound made up of d and zh, or aspirated z.
This is a difficult sound to such foreigners as have
it not in their several tongues; and to enable them
to pronounce it, it is only requisite to desire them
first to form the letter d with a vowel before it,
as ed, keeping the tongue in the position that it
has when that letter is formed ; then let them try
to sound the French j, which is exactly the same
sound as I have called the aspirated z or ezh, and
the compound sound of edzh or dzha, will be pro-
duced. To facilitate this, it will be proper to
present the first of these to the eye, spelt with the
French j, as thus, edge; and afterwards, in order
to begin a syllable with that sound, which is more
difficult than concluding with it, let them place
the tongue in the position of sounding ed, and
without uttering the previous vowel let them run
the sound of d into that of the subsequent j followed
by a vowel, as djoy [joy], djoke [joke]. This
letter is never silent, and has always the same
sound, which is also represented by soft g, as in jest,
gesture. +
K—has always the same sound, represented also
by hard c, as king, card. It is always silent when
it precedes an n in the same syllable, as know,
knot; pronounced no, not; and is superfluous when
annexed to a hard c, as in lock, stick.
L–has always one uniform sound, and is never
silent but when followed by an m in the same
syllable, as balm, psalm. In one word only it is
Sounded as r, colonel—pronounced curmel. º
M—is also uniform in its sound, and is never
silent.
N—is likewise uniform, but is always mute after
m in the same syllable, as in hymn, condemn. Wher,
it precedes g, it represents another simple sound to
be mentioned hereafter.
P. This letter has always one uniform sound,
except when joined to an h, and then it assumes the
power of an f, as philosophy.
Q—has always the power of a k, for which letter
it stands only when it precedes a u, followed by
some other vowel, as in the words quarrel, question,
antiquity, where the two vowels are combined in
a diphthong sound ; or the words pique, antique,
where the two latter vowels are silent, and the
sound of the consonant k finishes the syllable.
This letter is always followed by au in the French
as well as in English ; but the difference between
TXIV’
A PROSODIAL GRAMMAR.
their use of it and ours consists in this, that in the
French the u is silent, and the q unites itself im-
mediately with the following vowel, having the
sound of k. With us the u forms a diphthong with
the following vowel, in the same maniler as in the
word quoi, the only one in the French into which
the diphthong sound is admitted. This will be
sufficient to point out its true pronunciation to
foreigners. It is never silent. t
R-This letter has always the same sound, and is
wever silent,
S—stands for four different sounds; 1st, Its own
peculiar sound, as in so, yes; 2dly, z, as in rose;
3dly, sh, as in passion; 4thly, zh, as in osier.
It has its own proper sound of s always at the
beginning of words. The same at the end of words,
1st, When they terminate in as, except in the
monosyllables as, has, was, and the plurals of nouns
ending in ea, such as fleas, pleas, &c. 2dly, In all
words ending in double ss, as faultless, depress, &c.
3dly, All words eading in is, as this, tennis; except
the verb is, and the pronoun his, where it has the
sound of z. 4thly, All ending in us and ous; as
circus, genius; outaneous, nauseous. 5thly, When
preceded in the same syllable by any of the pure
mutes, k, p, t, or th and f ; as locks, caps, hats,
baths, scoffs.
. It has the sound of z, 1st, When preceded in the
same syllable by any other consonant beside the
pure mutes k, p, t, and two of the aspirated semi-
vowels, th and f; as blabs, beds, begs, bells, dams, &c.
2dly, It has the sound of z when finishing a word
preceded by the vowel e, as riches, series; except
when preceded by a pure mute in the same syllable,
‘as dates, cakes, &c. &
It has the sound of sh in all words ending in sion
*
preceded by a consonant ; as in emulsion, expan-
'sion, dispersion, &e. *
And of zh in sidm, preceded by a vowel; as in
occasion, cohesion, incision, explosion, confusion,
Also in all words ending in sier, as crosier, hosier.
T. This letter has its own proper sound at the
beginning of all words, and at the end of syllables;
It has the sound of sh in all terminations in tidn,
as nation, sanction, notion, &c.; except when an 8
precedes, in which case... it takes the sound of tsh
usually marked by ch, as question, bastion, &c. In
like manner thas the sound of sh in all terminations
in tial, as martial, nuptial; except when preceded
by an s, as in bestial, celestial, when it has also the
Sound of ch. - *
In pronouncing this letter the Irish and other pro-
vincials thicken the sound as was before mentioned
with regard to the d5 for better, they say betther;
for utter, utther, and so on in all words of that
structure. This faulty manner arises from the same
cause that was mentioned as affecting the sound of
the d, I mean the protruding of the tongue so as
A PROSODIAL GRAMMAR.
Y RI (7
to touch the teeth; and is curable only in the same
way. e
V—has always one uniform sound, and is never
silent, *
X. This character stands for two compound
sounds, one which has the power of ks, the other of
gz. At the end of words it has always the sound of
ks, as in vex, tax. .
1. When it is found in the first syllable of a word,
and has the accent upon it, it has always the sound
of ks—as 6xercise, éxtricate.
2. When it is followed in the next syllable by a
consonant, or aspirated h, it has still the sound of
ks, wherever the accent may lie, as in exculpate,
exhibition, exhilarate. t =
3. When followed by a vowel, if the accent do
not immediately lie upon that syllable, it is still pro-
nounced ks, as in executioner.
4. But if the accent be immediately upon the
following syllable beginning with a vowel, the sound
of x is then changed to gz; as in example, exalt,
exert, exist, exonerate, exuberant, &c. And thus
a sure rule is provided for the right pronunciation
of the letter x in all cases, as it is to have the sound
of ks in every situation except when followed by an
accented syllable beginning with a vowel; to assist
the memory in which, it is only necessary to have re-
course to two words, such as ex'ecute, exe’cutor.
There is but one case in which there are exceptions i
to this general rule, and that is where the sound of
gz is preserved in some words contrary to the maxim
above laid down; which is only in a few derivatives
from primitives that have the sound of gz in them,
according to the last rule. Thus the words exemplary
from example, and exaltation from exalt, Inust be
sounded egzemplary and egaaltation, though the
accent be changed to the first syllable in the former,
and to the third in the latter. Añd the same must
be observed with regard to all words of this class.
Z. This letter is seen in very few words of
English, as its power has been for the most part
usurped by s. It represents two sounds; one its
own, as in razor; the other zh, or French j, as in
azure; and both of these are supplied by s, as in
reason, osier.
Having done with all the consonants that appear
in our alphabet, I shall now proceed to examine
such simple sounds as have no peculiar characters to
mark them, and are therefore represented by two
letters.
Th, th: These are two different sounds marked
by the same combination of th: Their nature and
manner of formation have been already sufficiently
explained; there remains now to point out the right
application of this mark to its two different uses.
In the beginning of words, th has always its
aspirated seund, or is formed wholly by the breath,
except, 1st, in the pronoun thou, and its derivatives,

as thee, them, thine, their, &c.; and, 2dly, in the
following monosyllables, than, that, the, their, then,
thence, there, this, thither, thou, thy, though, thus;
in all which it has its vocal sound. With r or w
after it, it has always the sound of th; as throw,
thwart. i -
At the end of words, th has its aspirated sound,
except in the following words; to sheath, beneath,
underneath, wreath, to seeth, booth, smooth, to
sooth. The particle with is sometimes aspirated,
sometimes vocal; aspirated before a consonant,
vocal before a vowel; as withstand, without. And
the same is to be observed when it is not com-
pounded, but in its detached state; as, with many
more, with all my heart.*
It has always its vocal sound when followed by
a final mute e in the same syllable; as in bathe,
breathe. When followed by a y in the last syllable
it has its aspirate sound, as sympathy, healthy;
except in the words wreathy and worthy. W
In all other situations of th, when in any middle
syllables of words, the most general rule is, that it
has the aspirate sound before consonants, and the
vocal before vowels; except in derivative and com-
pound words, which retain the sound of their
primitives; thus loathsome, retains the primitive

sound of to loath, though preceding a consonant;
and toothing the original aspirate of tooth, though
preceding a vowel. - l
In a few instances, this sounded as it always is in
French, like a single t; and these are the words,
thyme, Thames, and Thomas.
Sh. This is the proper mark for the sound
which I have called esh, to be found in shall, wish;
and wherever it appears, it has invariably the same
sound, and is never silent. But the power of this
combination is usurped in much the greater number
of words, containing the sound of which it is the
proper representative, by the letters c, t, and s.
By c and t in all words ending in cial and tial, as
social, partial; in cion and tion, as suspicion,
nation; in cious and tious, as capricious, con-
tentious; in ceous, as cetaceous; and in sion by
an s wherever preceded by another s, as impression.
It is also represented by ch, in words taken from
the French, as chevalier, machine.
In order to pronounce properly this combination
of letters, which is no where to be found in the
French, it will be only necessary to inform fo-
reigners that our sh has uniformly the same sound
as the French ch in the words charité, chere, &c.
Zh. This sound, which I have called ezh in the
list of letters, has hitherto got no peculiar mark to
represent it; I have therefore added an h to z for
its mark, as making it correspond to its eorrelative
A PROSODIAL GRAMMAR.

sh. It is sometimes, though but seldom, represented
by a z, as in azure; but its general mark is an s in
the termination sion, preceded by any of the vowels,
asion, esion, ision, osion, usion—as occasion, cohe-
Sion, division, explosion, infusion. This sound is
exactly the same as that of the French j; and
foreigners are to avoid pronouncing words of this
structure in the French manner, as if they consisted
of four syllables thus divided, ec-ca-si-on; but to
make only three syllables of them, reducing the
two last into one, and pronouncing the word as if
it were thus spelt, oceaſun, giving the sound of the
French j to that consonant.
Ng. The sound of these combined letters is always
uniform at the end of words, and is never silent.
But as there are different sounds annexed to the same
apparent combination, it will be necessary to show
wherein the difference consists. 1st, Whenever ng
has a mute e after it, its sound is changed to
a mixed one of n and j, or soft g, as in the words
range, strange. 2dly, When a syllable is added to
the primitives ending in ng, it generally flows into
the next syllable with only its own sound, as in
hang, hanger; wrong, wronger; yet sometimes it
lends the sound of the last g in its hard state to the
next syllable, as long, longer; strong, stronger;
which should be pronounced as if written long-ger,
strong-ger. These two, with the word younger,
Pronounced young-ger, are the only exceptions to
the first rule. To these may be added likewise
some primitive words that also add the hard g to
the last syllable: these are anger, linger, finger,
conger, monger, with all derivatives, as fish-
monger, &c.
3dly, All words ending in nge retain the pri-
mitive sound with the succeeding syllable when
added to it, as range, ranger; strange, stranger;
challenge, challenger. All other words ending in
ger, preceded by an n closing the former syllable,
have the sound of soft g or j, as messenger, har-
binger, &c.
Having thus laid before the reader Mr. Sheridan's
ideas as to the sounds of the letters, I shall add the
following short rules for the accent or quantity of
syllables proposed by Dr. Johnson, as being (though
subject to exceptions) far less complex than those of
the former gentleman, and of course better suited
to the comprehension of the uninformed student.
1. Of dissyllables formed by affixing a termina-
tion, the former syllable is commonly accented, as
chi'ldish, king'dom, aſ etest, aſ cted, toi'lsome, lo’ver,
sco'ffer, fai'rer, fo' remost, Ze'alous, fu'lness, go'dly,
me’ekly, aſ rtist.
2. Dissyllables formed by prefixing a syllable to
the radical word have commonly the accent on the
latter; as, to bege’t, to besee’m, to besto'w.
3. Of dissyllables, which are at once nouns and
verbs, the verb has commonly the accent on the
...sº
jºxVIII
latter, and the noun on the former syllable; as, to
desca'nt, a de'scant; to ceme'nt, a ce'ment; to
contra’ct, a co’ntract.
This rule has many exceptions. Though verbs
seldom have their accent on the former, yet nouns
often have it on the latter syllable; as deli'ght,
perfu' me.
4. All dissyllables ending in y, as "cra’nny; in
our, as la'bour, fa’vour; in ow, as wi'llow, waſ llow,
except allo' w; in le, as ba'ttle, bi'ble; in ish, as
ba'nish; in cle, as cam'brick, ca'ssock; in ter, as
to ba’tter; in age, as cou'rage; in en, as fa'sten;
in et, as qui’et, accent the former syllable.
5. Dissyllable nouns in er, as ca'nker, bu'tter,
have the accent on the former syllable.
6. Dissyllable verbs terminating in a consonant
and e final, as compriſse, esca'pe; or having a diph-
thong in the last syllable, as appe'ase, reve'al; or
ending in two consonants, as atte‘nd; have the
accent on the latter syllable.
7. Dissyllable nouns having a diphthong in the
latter syllable, have commonly their accent on the
latter syllable, as applau'se; except words in ain,
cer'tain, mounſtain.
8. Trissyllables formed by adding a termination,
or prefixing a syllable, retain the accent of the
radical word; as lo’veliness, te’nderness, con-
te’mner, wa'ggoner, phy'sical, bespa'tter, co’m-
menting, comme'nding, assu'rance.
A PROSOHDIAL GRAMMAR.
&
9. Trissyllables ending in ous, as graſcious,
a'rduous; in al, as ca'pital; in ion, as me' ſition,
accent the first. .
10. Trissyllables ending in ce, ent, and ate, accent
the first syllable, as cou’ntenance, co’ntinence,
a'rmament, i'mminent, e' legant, pro’ pagate; ex-
cept they are derived from words having the accent
on the last, as commi’vance, acqua' intance; or the
middle syllable hath a vowel before two consonants,
as promu'lgate. *
ll. Trissyllables ending in y, as e'ntity, spe’cify,
li'berty, vi’ctory, su’bsidy, commonly accent the
first syllable. t
12, Trissyllables in re or le, accent the first syl-
lable, as le'gible, the’atre, except disci’ple, and
some words which have a position, as exa’mple,
epi'stle.
13. Trissyllables in ude, commonly accent the
first syllable, as ple'nitude.
14. Trissyllables ending in ator, as crea’tor ; or
having in the middle syllable a diphthong, as en-
deaſ vour; or a vowel before two consonants, as
dome'stick, accent the middle syllable.
15. Trissyllables that have their accent on the
last syllable are commonly French, as acquie'sce,
reparte’e, magazi'ne, or words formed by prefix-
ing one or two syllables to an acute syllable, as
immatu're, overcha'rge.
16, Polysyllables, or words of more than three
A PROSODHAL GRAMMAR.

*
syllables, follow the accent of the words from which
they are derived, as a'rrogating, co’ntinency, in-
co’ntinently, eomune' ndable, commu'micableness.
We should therefore say dispu'table, indispu'table,
rather than di’sputable, indi’sputable ; and adver-
ti'sement, rather than adver’tisement.
17. Words in ion have the accent upon the an-
tepenult, as salva’tion, perturba’tion, conco’ction;
words in ator on the penult, as dedica’ tor.
18. Words ending in le commonly have the accent
on the first syllable, as aſ micable, unless the second
syllable have a vowel before two consonants, as com-
bustible.
19. Words ending in ous have the accent on the
antepenult, as uxo'rious, volu'ptuous.
20. Words ending in ty have their accent on the
antepenult, as pusillani’mity, activity.
These rules are not advanced as complete or in-
fallible, but proposed as useful. Almost every rule
of every language has its exceptions; and in English,
as in other tongues, much must be learned by
example and authority.
So much for Orthoepy; we now proceed to the
second head under which Prosody is divided, viz.
Orthometry, or the laws of
VERSIFICATION.
Versification is the arrangement of a certain
number of syllables, according to certain laws,
established in a language by frequent repetition, the
* wr
harmony of which consists in a pleasing variety of
long and short, accented and unaccented syllables.
Verses are either Iambic, Trochaic, Dactyle, or
Anapaestic. &
IAM Bic consists of a short and long syllable
alternately, as pūr-Süe, dis-dàin, and was originally
used in satire. It comprises verses *
Of four syllables : With ravish'd ears
The monarch hears, &c.
In places far and near,
Or famous or obscure, &c.
And may at last my weary age
Find out the peaceful hermitage, &c.
Of ten : (which is the common measure of heroie
and tragic poetry)
The courts are fill'd with a tumultuous din
Of crowds, or issuing forth, or ersteling in, &c.
In all these measures the accents are to be placed
on even syllables; and each line considered by itself
is more harmonious, as this rule is more strictly
observeul.
TRochAic consists of a long and a short syllable;
as live-ly, fi-voir. It comprises verses
Of three syllables: Here we may
Think and pray, &c.
Of five : . . . . . . . . . . In the days of old,
Stories plainly told, &c.
Fairest piece of well-form'd earth,
Urge not thus your haughty birth, &c.
In these measures the accent is to be placed on
the odd syllables.
Of six:. . . . . . . . . .
Of eight : . . . . . .
Of seven : . . . . . . . .

XXX
A PROSODIAL GRAMMAR. t
DActyLE consists of one long and two short syl-
lables, as dii-ti-fúl, natir-mür-Ing: as
A beautiful creature was making her moan, &c.
T ANAPEstic consists of two short and one long
syllable, as in-trö-dûce.
May I govern my passions with absolute sway, &c.
These are the measures now in use, and above the
rest those of seven, eight, and ten syllables. Our
ancient poets wrote verses sometimes of twelve syl-
lables, called Alexandrine :
And when all Wales beside (by fortune or by might) '
Unto her ancient foe resign'd her ancient right, &c.
Sometimes of fourteen :
And as the mind of such a man, that hath a long way gone,
And either knoweth not his way, or else would let alone, &c.
The ALEXANDRINE is now only used to diversify
heroic limes:
A reedless Alexandrino ends the song,
That, like a wounded snake, drags its slow length along, &c.
The verse of fourteen syllables is now broken into
a soft lyric measure of verses, consisting alternately
of eight syllables and six :
When all shall praise, and every lay
Devote a wreath to thee,
That day, for come it will, that day
Shall I lament to see.
These measures are varied by many combinations,
and sometimes by double endings, with or without
rhyme, as in the heroic measure of twelve syl-
lables:
'Tis the Divinity that stirs within us,
'Tis Heav'n itself that points out an hereafter,
And intimates starnity to man.
They neither added nor confounded.
So insthat of eight:
They neither wanted nor abounded.
In that of seven : . . For resistance I could fear mone,
But with twenty ships had done
What thou, brave and happy Vernon,
Hast achiev’d with six alone.
In that of six:... . . 'Twas when the seas were roaring,
With hollow blasts of wind,
A damsel lay deploring,
All on a rock reclin'd,
In the anapaestic: When terrible tempests assail us, • ?
And mountainous billows affright,
Nor power nor wealth can avail us,
But skilful industry steers right.
To these measures and their laws may be reduced
every species of English verse.
Our versification admits of few licenses, except
a synalepha, or elision of e, in the, before a vowel,
as th' eternal; and (more rarely) of o, in to, as
t’ accept ; and a synaeresis, by which two short
vowels coalesce into one syllable, as question, special;
or a word is contracted by the expulsion of a short
vowel before a liquid, as av'rice, temp'rance, &c,

RULES IN THE ART OF READING,
SHORT RULES IN THE ART OF READING.
1. TAKE pains to acquire a perfect knowledge of
the sounds of all the letters in general. 2. Do not
guess at a word at first sight, if you are not well
acquainted with it, lest you get a habit of reading
falsely. 3. Pronounce every word clearly and dis-
tinctly. 4. Let the tone of your voice in reading
be the same as in speaking. 5. Do not read in
a hurry, for fear of learning to stammer. 6. Read
so loud as to be heard by those about you, but not
louder. 7. Observe your pauses well, and never .
make any where the sense will admit of nome.
8. Humour your voice a little according to the
subject. 9. Attend to those who read well, and
endeavour to imitate their pronunciation. 10. Read
often before good judges, and be thankful when
they correct you. l I. Consider well the place of
the emphasis in a sentence, and pronounce it
accordingly: by emphasis we mean, the stress or
force of voice that is laid on some particular word
or words in a sentence, whereby the meaning and
beauty of the whole may best appear; this, with
respect to fentences, is the same as accent with
regard to syllables.
The emphasis is generally placed upon the
accented syllable of a word; but if there be a par-
ticular opposition between two words in a sentence,
accent is sometimes removed from" its common
place, as in the following instance: The sun shines
upon the just and upon the wrijust. Here the
stress of the voice is laid upon the first syllable in
unjust, because it is opposed to just in the same
senterce ; but without such an opposition the
accent would lie on its usual place, that is, on the
last syllable; as, We must not imitate the wrijust
practices of others.
The great and general rule how to know the
emphatical word in a sentence is, to consider the
chief design of the whole; but particular directions
cannot be easily given: except that when words are
evidently opposed to one another in a sentence,
they are emphatical; and so is oftentimes the word
which asks a question, as who, what, when, &c.
but not always; for the emphasis must be varied
according to the principal meaning of the speaker;
as suppose I require, Did my father walk abroad
yesterday? If I lay the emphasis on the word
father, it is plain I want to know whether it was
he or somebody else; if I place the emphasis on
walk, the person I speak to is sensible I would be
informed whether he went on foot or on horse-
back, &c. But if I lay the stress of my voice on
the word yesterday, it denotes that I am satisfied
my father did go abroad, and that he went on foot,
though I want to know the particular time, whether
whereby cng differs from the other but in part, the
it was yesterday, or some day before.
RULES IN THE ART OF READING.
XXXV
There are two ways of writing on any subject,
namely, in prose, and in verse.
• Prose is the usual method of writing, without
any confinement to a certain number of syllables,
or ranging the words in any particular form;
which, on the contrary, verse requires.
The words in verse must be ranged so, as that
the accents may naturally fall on such peculiar
syllables as make a sort of harmony to the ear:
and this is called metre, that is, measure; to
which rhyme is generally added; that is, two or
more verses, near to each other, are inade to end
with the same, or the like sound: but this is not
absolutely necessary. --
There is another sort of verse which has no
rhyme, called blank verse, the words whereof are
genel ally disposed in metre, so as that the accent
may fall on every second, fourth, and sixth syl-
lable; and on the eighth, tenth, and twelfth also, if
the lines are so long. The following verse of ten
syllables may serve for an example,
The ménarch spóke, and straight a múrmur rose.
But our poetry allows of great and frequent va-
riation from this rule, especially in the first and
second syllables of the line; as in the verse which
rhymes with the former, where the accent is upon
the first syllable. - ^.
- Ločd as the sūrges when the támpest blóws.
There are two sorts of metre which vary from
this rule; one of them is when the line contains
but seven syllables, and the accent lies on the first,
third, fifth, and seventh; as in the following:
Côuld we, which we néver céin,
Strétch our lives beyond their spän;
Beauty like a shádow flies,
And our youth beiðre us dies.
The other sort has a hasty sound, and requires an
accent on every third syllable; as for example:
*Tis the v6ice of the slöggard : I hear him complain,
You have wak’d me too soon, I must slömber again.
In reading verse, you are to pronounce it just as
if it were prose, observing the stops with great
exactness, and giving each word or syllable its due
and natural accent ; but with these two restrictions.
1. Though there be no stop at the end of a line,
make a small pause (less than after a comma)
before you begin the next. 2. If any word in the
line has two sounds, give it that which is most
suitable to the rhyme and metre–To favour the
metre, for instance, the word glittering must
sometimes be pronounced as three syllables, and
sometimes as two, glitt’ring: and upon the same
account the word avenue may have the accent
either upon the first syllable or the second; a' venue,
or ave/nue. So to favour the rhyme, the word
flattery at the end of a line must be sometimes
sounded as if it were written flatteree, and somer
times as if it ended in i, so as it may best chime
with the foregoing verse.
XXXVI
RULES FOR SPEAKING WITH PROPRIETY, &c.
LORD CHESTERFIELD'S INSTRUCTIONS
FOR SPEAKING WITH PROPRIETY.
To acquire a graceful utterance, read aloud to
some friend every day, and beg of him to interrupt
and correct you whenever you read too fast, do not
observe the proper stops, lay a wrong emphasis, or
utter your words unintelligibly. You may even
read aloud to yourself, and tune your utterance to
your own ear. Take care to open your teeth when
you read or speak, and articulate every word dis-
tinctly; which last cannot be done but by sounding
the final letter. But above all, study to vary your
voice according to the subject, and avoid a mo-
notomy. Daily attention to these articles will,
in a little time, render them easy and habitual
to you.
The voice and manner of speaking, too, are not
to be neglected; some people always shut their
mouths when they speak, and mutter so that they
are not to be understood; others speak so fast, and
sputter, that they are not to be understood
neither: some always speak as loud as if they were
talking to deaf people; and others so low, that
one cannot hear them. All these habits are awk-
ward and disagreeable, and are to be avoided by
attention; they are the distinguishing marks of
the ordinary people, who have had no care taken
of their education. . You cannot imagine how
necessary it is to mind all these little things; for I
have seen many people, with great talents, ill
received for want of having these talents; and
others well received, only from these little talents,
and who had no great ones.

OF THE POINTS, NOTES, OR MARKS, MADE
USE OF IN WRITING AND PRINTING.
Punctuation is (according to Bishop Lowth) the
art of making in writing the several pauses, or rests,
between sentences and the parts of sentences, ac
cording to their proper quantity or proportion, as
they are expressed in a just and accurate pronuncia-
tion. \
The following are the principal stops or pauses in
a sentence; viz. the comma (,) the semicolon (; )
the colon (:) the period or full point (...) the note of
admiration (!) and the note of interrogation (?)
1. The comma (,) is a pause in reading, till you
may tell one, and is mostly used to distinguish,
nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs; as, “It is very
difficult to make fine pictures, handsome statues,
good music, good verses.”
2. It likewise prevents ambiguity in the sense: as,
“Epistolary writing, by which a great part of tha
commerce of human life is carried on, was esseenied
by the Romans a liberal and polite accomplish-
ment.” *
ON PUNCTUATION, &c.
XXXVI)-
&"
*
3. When an address is made to a person, answer-
ing to the vocative case in Latin, a comma is placed
before and after the noun: as, “ Commune with
thyself, O man, and consider wherefore thou wast
made.”
The semicolon (; ) is a pause double in duration
of the comma, and is used to distinguish the different
members or parts of a sentence: as, “A vain hope
flattereth the heart of a fool; but he who is wise
pursueth it not! Be grateful to thy father, for he
gave thee life; and to thy mother, for she sustained
thee.”
The colon (: ) is a pause triple in duration of the
tomma, and shows the preceding sentence to be
perfect and entire, only that some remark, further
illustration, or other matter connected therewith, is
subjoined: as, “He who giveth away his treasure
wisely, giveth away his plagues: he who retaineth
its increase, heapeth up sorrow.”
When an example or speech is introduced, and
particularly before things compared or contrasted,
the colon is used: as, “ Poorness of spirit will
actuate revenge; greatness, of soul despiseth it :
Nay, it doeth good unto him who intended to have
disturbed it.”—“As the tulip, which 's gaudy with-
out smell, conspicuous without use : so is the man
who setteth himself up on high, having no merit.”
The period or full point (.) is a pause quadruple
in duration of the comma, and the longest pause; it
*
denotes a full and perfect sentence, which is always
distinguished by this point: as, “A noble spirit
disdaineth the malice of fortune : his greatness of
soul is not to be cast down.”
The note of admiration (!) is used to express
wonder, or exclamation: as, “Who art thou, O mart
who presumest on thine own wisdom 2"
The note of interrogation (?) is used to show
when a question is asked: as, “What day of the
month is this?” It likewise distinguishes a real
question from a sentence in the imperative mode: as,
“Do you hear me?”
Besides the above points, there are other marks
made use of in books and writing as references, or
to point out something remarkable or defective:
aS2
1. Accent (') or (*) placed over a vowel, or the
last consonant of a syllable, shows the stress of the
voice in pronouncing a word to be on that syllable,
over, or immediately before which it is placed.
2. Apostrophe (') is a comma put at the top of
a word, to denote the omission of a letter, for the
sake of a quicker pronunciation: as, plac'd for
placed, ne'er for never.
3. Asterism, or asterisk, (*) a star; and Parallel (II)
direct to some note at the foot of the page.
4. Obelisk or Dagger (+) refers likewise to some
note in the margin, &c.; and in dictionaries, it
commonly shows the word to be obsolete,
XXXVIII
ON PUNCTUATION, &c.
5. The Index or Hand (G-) points to some very
remarkable passage.
6. Breve (*) over a vowel, denotes that it sounds
short.
7. Circumflex (*) is placed over a vowel, to denote
a long syllable ; as, Euphrātes.
8. Dia-resis, (*) two points placed over two vowels
in a word, parting them into two syllables.
9. Hyphen (-) a short line to join syllables or
words together. *w *.
10. Parenthesis, marked thus, () serves to include
a sentence which might be left out, without any
prejudice to the sense of the sentence; notwith-
standing it is necessary for the explanation thereof:
as, “Pardon me (added she, embracing me), I now
believe what you say.”
11. Bracket, or Crotchet, thus, [] includes such
a word from the sentence as serves to explain the
word immediately preceding; as, “A treatise of
[concerning] English Grammar.”
12. Paragraph (M) denotes the beginning of a new
subject.—The pause here may be greater than at
a period.
13. Section ($) is used to divide a chapter into
less particular arguments.
14. Ellipsis, marked thus, (–or—) denotes
that part of a word is left out: as K–g for King.
15. Caret (A) is placed underneath a line, to
shew that some letter, word, or sentence, is left out
by mistake; and must be taken in exactly in that
place.
16. Quotation (“) is a double comma reversed at
the beginning of a line, which shows that a passage
is quoted or transcribed from some author in his
own words.
