 As the Author of the following Work was in a 
 very declining" state of health, at the time he was 
 preparing it for the press ; and, as his life was 
 most awfully and suddenly terminated,* whilst 
 employed in correcting the proof-sheets, it is 
 earnestly requested, that the Subscribers to the 
 Work, as well as the Public, will make every 
 reasonable allowance for any imperfection that 
 may be found in the execution ; and particularly 
 for the typographical errors, which, it is feared, 
 will occasionally be met with. 
 
 Notwithstanding the disadvantages under which 
 it appears before the Public, it is still hoped, that 
 it will be found to contain considerable information 
 on the subject on which it professes to treat ; and 
 to be very convenient and useful as a book of 
 reference, particularly to the young ; for whose 
 more immediate benefit it was intended by the 
 Author. 
 
 * Mr. Harrison had just seated himself at his writing-desk, 
 and taken up his pen, when he fell from his cJiair, and instantly 
 expired !

59 
 
 Primitives ending with a double consonant retain both, 
 as care-leris-ly, ill-ness, small-ness ; except chilness, dul- 
 ness, fulness, and skilful, /and u end no English word 
 but I, you, and thou ; I is made y and u is ue. 
 
 Many Primitives retain all their own letters before a t, 
 as attend-ant, except some ending in y, as craf-ty, naugh- 
 ty, wor-thy. 
 
 Always divide words at the end of lines by syllables and 
 this mark - 
 
 Compound words are mostly spelled in full, as bride- 
 well, fare- well, wind-mill. 
 
 Prepositions and terminations are spelled by themselves 
 as aby ad, ob, per, pro, con, &c. so are ed, en, er, est, in^, 
 ish, ous, us, ness, &c. 
 
 All words are compounds where three or more conso- 
 nants meet together, and many so that have not, as 
 al-ready, al-most, &c. 
 
 The t, cial, cian, tial, dan, ceous, cient, cious, geous, 
 sion, Hon, must not be divided in spelling when each t 
 forms but one syllable, as so-cial, su-per-fi-cial, lo-gi-cian 
 es-sen-tial, gen-tian, ce-ta-ceous, de-ii-cient, fal-la-cious, 
 out-ra-geous, oc-ca-sion, ve-ne-ra-tion ; ^except bes-ti-al, 
 ce-les-ti-al, chris-ti-an, the tial, and tian form two sylla- 
 bles each in spelling. 
 
 Rules for the disposition of single Sf double consonants, Sfc» 
 in the right division of words. 
 
 1. A single consonant immediately following a long sound- 
 ing vowel must be separated form it, as ba-ker. 
 
 2. A single consonant except c when it sounds like s, and 
 g like J, following' a short sounding vowel bearing the 
 
60 
 
 accent must be joined to it, as lov-er, met-al, sol-einn, 
 ten-ant, 
 
 3. Two vowels not niaking a dipthong must be divided, 
 as di-al. 
 
 4. Two consonants between two vowels must be divided. 
 Two vowels coming together, if not a vowel, must be 
 divided, asco-e-qual, u-su-al, 
 
 5. When two consonants, which ought not to be parted, 
 come between two vowels they generally go to the 
 latter, as a~bridge. 
 
 6. The double consonants cA, gh, ph, shy and th, &c. al- 
 ways go together. 
 
 7. Three or four consonants between two vowels must be 
 divided agreeably to the sound of each syllable, as 
 buck-ram, em-blem. 
 
 8. When w or x come between two vowels they mostly 
 join the former, as box-es, blow-ing. 
 
 9. Most primitive words ending with a single consonant, 
 preceded by a short sounding vowel, and a few by a 
 diphthong bearing the accent, have the consonant dou- 
 bled, in forming their derivatives, as bog boggy, bar, 
 barring barred, abet abetting abetted. We have 423 
 monosyllables, such as bag, club, dot, fag, gab, &c. &c. 
 that double their final consonant, as bagged, &c. No 
 English words end with q or v ; they may end with any 
 other; w always follows^.

 i^i1nc(pl(0 of ptinctuatt0if« 
 
 o^^P^o-. 
 
 Punctuation, or the art of pointing, is the science 
 which teaches the proper method of dividing a written or 
 printed composition into sentences, or parts of sentences, by 
 the use of points and stops : for the purpose of mra-king the 
 different pauses which the sense and an accurate pronunci- 
 ation require. 
 
 The Points which are constantly made use of, are six in 
 number ; namely — 
 
 Comma, marked thus 
 
 Semicolon 
 
 Colon 
 
 Period or Full Point , 
 
 Interrogation ? 
 
 Admiration ! 
 
 The stops point out, with truth, the time of pausing, 
 
 A sentence doth require at ev'rj' clause ; 
 
 At ev'ry comma, stop while one you count, 
 
 At semicolon, two is the amount : 
 
 A colon doth require the time of three. 
 
 The period four, as learned men agree. 
 
 OF THE COMMA. 
 
 Comma is a word adopted from the Greek word kopto 
 scindo, to cut; and properly designates a segment, section, 
 or part cut off' from a complete sentence. It marks the 
 smaller segments or portions of a period. 
 
 Rule 1st. — AVhen three or more substantives, or other 
 parts of speech, occur in immediate succession, they are 
 to be separated by a comma : as 
 
 Gold, silver, ivory vases sculpt urM hij;h. 
 Pain', maible g<*mx, and robes of Persian dye. 
 
62 
 
 Rule 2d. — Where several substantives, &c. iinrwediatcly 
 follow each other in the s-ame case, and are joined in pairs 
 by the conjunction and, or the disjunctive or, they are to be 
 separated by a comma : as 
 
 Anarchy and confusion, poverty and distress, loss of trade and ruin, 
 are the consequences of a protracted war. 
 
 Rule 3d. — Substantives in apposition, by way of illus- 
 tration, are separated : as 
 
 Homer, the greatest poet of antiquit)^, was blind. Milton, the au- 
 thor of Paradise Lost and Regained, was blind. 
 
 But if not accompanied with adjuncts, or words adjoined, 
 they a^e not separated : as 
 
 The Emperor Augustus was a patron of polite arts. 
 
 Rule 4th. — x\ll expressions in a direct address, which 
 would be in the vocative case in Latin, must be separated : as 
 I am, dear madam, your's, &c. 
 
 Rule 5th. — All cases absolute, in English the nominative, 
 in Latin the oblative, are cut off by a comma : as 
 
 Harold being slain in the field of battle, the conqueror marched 
 immediately to London. 
 
 Again : 
 
 They feed, they quaff; and now, their hunger fled, 
 Sigh for their friends devoured, and mourn the dead. 
 
 Ru lAL Cth. — Comparisons witli like should be separated : as 
 
 The joys of youth quickly vai)i.-h, like a pleasant dream : 
 
 But not if the comparison be short : as 
 
 Hills melted like wax. The mountains skipped like rams. He giv- 
 elh snow like wool. 
 
 Rule 7lh. — If several verbs in the infinitive mood, which 
 depend upon oiiC common word, immediately succeed each 
 other, they must be parted by a comma : as 
 
6:3 
 
 To relieve the indigent, to comfort tlie afflicted, to protect the inno- 
 cent, to instruct the ignorant, to reward the deserving, is a great and 
 nohle emplo5^ment. 
 
 Rule 8th. — Many adverbs admit a comma before them : as 
 
 Never allow yourself to be absent in company, especially when you 
 are among superiors. Chance never erected a cottage, much less a world. 
 
 Rule 9th. — Some adverbs will have a comma both before 
 
 and after them : as 
 
 It is, perhaps ; we must, however. 
 
 The following adverbs are of this kind : 
 
 Nay, besides, moreover, as^ain, firstly, secondly, thirdly, lastly, 
 once more, above all, on the contrary, in the next place, in short; 
 
 and others of a like kind, when placed at the beginning of a 
 sentence; as well as the principal conjunctions, or connec- 
 tive particles which follow : as 
 
 And, as, because, before, both, but, either, ever, except, if, left, 
 nor, or, provided, since, so, than, that, though, till, unless, when, 
 while, whether. 
 
 Example. — Religion dwells not on the tongue, hut, in the heart. 
 
 It is almost 6000 years, since^ the creation of the world. 
 Virtue is so aimiable, that, even the vicious admire it. 
 Fire lir^s peaceably in the flint, till, it be excited by collision. 
 We sometimes forget our faults, when, we are not reminded. 
 
 Rule 10th. — When a verb is understood, but not ex- 
 pressed, a comma must be inserted, as well as before a quo- 
 tation : as 
 
 God said, <' Let there be light." 
 
 Example. — Peter is painted with the keys; Paul, (is painted understood) 
 with a sword; Andrew, with a cross; James the greater, with a 
 pilgrim's staff and a gourd bottle ; James the less, with a fuller's 
 pole; John, with a cup and a winged serpent; Bartholomew, with a 
 knife ; Philip, with a long staff or cross ; Thomas with a lance ; 
 Matthew, with a hatchet: Matthias, with a battle-axe; Simon, 
 with a saw ; and Jude with a club. 
 
61 
 
 Rule 1 1th. — When several clauses, or parenthelical ex- 
 pressions, as they are frequently called, as well as one, are 
 inserted between the nominative and the verb, or verb and 
 its objective, they must be separated therefrom, as ^ell as 
 from each other : as 
 
 The great Xerxes, upon whom fortune had lavished all her favours, 
 not content with being master of powerful armies, numerous fleets, and 
 inexhaustible treasures, proposed a reward to any one, who would 
 invent a new pleasure. 
 
 Yen sliould not desire, says an ancient Greek author, even the thread 
 of anoilier man's needh\ 
 
 From a high point, I mark'd, on distant view, 
 A stream of circling smoke ascending blue, 
 And spiry tops, the tufted trees above. 
 Of Circe's palace, bosom'd in the grove. 
 
 N, B. — The nominative case and the verb must not be separated, but 
 as above. 
 
 OF THE SEMICOLON. 
 
 A semicolon is a word which signifies half a colan, or 
 member ; it is derived from the Latin semi, half; and the 
 Greek, kob7i, a member. 
 
 This point is used when a sentence requires a great-er 
 pause than a comma, but when the sense is imperfect, and 
 needs some other member to render it complete ; it, there- 
 fore, holds a middle place between the comma and the 
 colon. It is used for dividing a compound sentence into two 
 or more parts, which are not so closely connected as those, 
 which are separated by commas only; nor yet, so independ- 
 ent and perfect as those, whicVare marked by a colon x>nly. 
 
u 
 
 RuLij 12tli. — Some conjunctions, whqn they express ant 
 addition, an inference, an opposition, admit the semicolon 
 before them ; but, tlie proper point does not so much de- 
 pend upon any particular ccmj unction as upon the degree of 
 connexion, which subsists between the two adjoining clauses. 
 
 ExAMHLE. — Most, of our pleasures may be looked upon as imaginary; 
 bat, our disquietudes may be considered as rea'. 
 
 So kids and whelps their sires and dams express ; 
 And. so the great I measured by tlie less. 
 
 Rule I3th. — When the degree of connection between the 
 parts of a compound sentence are the same, and too impor- 
 tant for the mere insertion of a comma, the semicolon must 
 be introduced : as 
 
 Tii8 orator speaks the truth plainly to his hearers ; he awakens them ; 
 he excites them to action ; he shews them their impending danger. 
 
 Rule 14th. — x\s the comma is adapted to mark the 
 smaller divisions or parts of a sentence, so the semicolon is 
 inserted to mark the greater divisions, but, which have yet 
 a dependence on something that follows : as 
 
 In the New Testament, as in the dignified and sober Liturgy of the 
 Church of England, we see deep humility, but not loathsome abjectness ; 
 sincere reppntance, but not agonizing horror ; steadfast faith, but apt pre- 
 sumptuous assurance ; lively hope, but not seraphic abstraction ; thedep-p 
 sense of humm infirmity, but not the unblushing profession of leprous de- 
 pravity ; the holy and heavenly commupion, but not vague experiences, 
 or the intemperate trance. 
 
 OF THE COLON. 
 
 The word colon is Greek, and signifies a member ; g,nd 
 this point is used to divide a sentence i»to two or more partsr. 
 
66 
 
 which are less connected than those which are separated by 
 a semicolon, and, although the sense be complete, in its 
 construction, yet, it is not so independent, as a separate 
 distinct sentence. 
 
 Rule 15th. — When a member of a sentence is complete 
 in itself, but is followed by some additional remark or illus- 
 tration of the subject, which naturally arises from the fore- 
 going member, a colon must be inserted ; but, if a conjunc- 
 tion be inserted before the words that follow the colon, that 
 colon must be a semicolon. 
 
 Do not hope to enjoy perfect happiness : there is no such thing in 
 this world. 
 
 Again : 
 
 Do not hope to enjoy perfect happiness ; for there is no such thing in 
 this world. 
 
 OF THE t>ERlOD. 
 
 The word period is derived from the Greek word peri 
 odos, and signifies a circuit, in which the full meaning is 
 suspended, till the sense is perfect ; so that, when a sen- 
 tence is so complete and independent, as not to be connect- 
 ed in construction with any thing that follows, it is marked 
 with a period, or full stop, which is always placed at the 
 end. 
 
 Rule 16th. — Every complete sentence, however short, 
 must have a full point or stop at the end, because there is a 
 period to the sense : as 
 
 Fear God. Honour the King. 
 
67 
 
 Interrogation, from inter, between; and rogo, to 
 ask : (marked thus) ? 
 
 Exclamation, ex,m\d.clamo, tocryout^ as, oh! ah! 
 Parenthesis, para, en, and tithemi, to put in between 
 as, say ye, (who saw). 
 
 Dash, or line of abruption: as, whom I , but first 
 
 ril calm the waves. 
 
 an eTPlanatioti of iTO;Xt&0 or ^ti^xiultv^. 
 
 i^-e-iT 
 
 A Caret, from careo, to want. It is put where some- 
 thing is omitted : as 
 
 such 
 111 heavenly minils can perverseness dwell? 
 
 This character (a) is also called a circumflex, e e. a bending 
 round, when placed over some vowel, or to denote a long 
 syllable : as, Euphrates. 
 
 The Acute or sharp Accent ( ' ) marks a short syllable: 
 as, Fan'cy. 
 
 The Grave, heavy or dull Accent ( ' ) marks a depressed 
 sound : as. Favour. 
 
 Hyphen, ( - ) from uphaino, texo, to join together 
 compound words : as, self-love, to-morrow. It is also used 
 at the close of a line, to divide the syllables of a word. 
 
 DiiERESis, ( •• ) ex, dia, and aireo, to take or cut 
 asunder, when placed over two vowels, and shews that they 
 are to be pronounced separately : as, aerial, creation. 
 
 Asterisk, astron, a star ( "^ ) directs the attention of 
 the reader to something in the margin, or bottom of the page. 
 
68 
 
 When several asterisks are used, they denote the omission 
 of some letters in a word ; some defect in the original ; or 
 conceal some bold expression. 
 
 Section, seco, to cut; ( §) marks the division of a 
 discourse, or chapter, into less parts or portions, 
 
 PAFtAGRAPH, ( ^ ) para, and grapho, to write through ; 
 it denotes the beginning of a new subject. It is most used 
 in the Old and New Testaments. 
 
 Ellipsis, en, in, and leipo, to fail; a deficiency of 
 
 letters: as, B p, for Fiishop ; H of C , House 
 
 of Commons. 
 
 Obelisk, obeliscus, a dagger; ( f ) refers to some 
 marginal notes ; or in dictionaries, to some obsolete or bar- 
 barous word. 
 
 Index, indico, to shew or tell; (E|S") points out a 
 remarkable passage, or something requiring attention. 
 
 Quotation from a book is marked with inverted commas 
 at the beginning or end : thus, ' ' or " ^' 
 
 Brace, brachus, short ; > is mostly used for the purpose 
 
 of joining several lines together ; especially triplets in poetry. 
 
 Crotchets, or Brackets, brachus, thus, [ ] serve 
 to inclose a word or sentence which is to be explained in a 
 note, or the explanation itself ; or a word or sentence which 
 is intended to supply some deficiency, or to rectify some 
 mistake.

 ANGLO-SAXON PROPER NAMES 
 EXPLAINED. 
 
 After our ancestors, the Saxons, had come out of 
 Germany, and settled themselves in Britain, they changed 
 the names of the cities, towns, castles, villages, passages, 
 fields, forests, waters, hills, dales, into the names of 
 similar places in Germany ; and also gave names to such 
 towns, castles, manors, houses, &c. which they built 
 themselves, and took their surnames from them. They 
 also took surnames from any thing remarkable near the 
 place where they abode : as, tune, or strong place, wood, 
 hill, field, green, brook, bourn, foord, great tree, rock, 
 lake, mere, den, &c. &c. For instance, Robert of, or at 
 the Green, was so called because he lived at, on, or near 
 a green. Robert of the Green was too long to pronounce 
 with ease, so he w^as called by some Robt. of Green, and 
 by others Robert-a-Green, and lastly, Robt. Green ; and 
 the same may be said of other surnames, but they are so 
 numerous, we have chosen out the best for a general rule 
 whereby to discover others of similar endings. The names 
 below are all of our ancient Anglo-Saxon race, and are 
 very valuable for their antiquity, for they caoie from Ger- 
 many into Britain, Anno Domini 449.

 NAMES OF THE TWELVE CALENDAR MOxNTHS, 
 AND OF THE DAYS OF THE WEEK^ 
 
 WITH THEIR DERIVATIONS. 
 
 The ancient Romans, who invaded Britain about forty- 
 five years before the birth of Christ, were idolaters, or 
 Heathens ; and from them our ancestors derived the names 
 of the months, which are still retained. The Anglo- 
 Saxons, likewise, who landed in Britain in the year of our 
 Lord 449, (from whom the name of England was derived) 
 were Heathens ; and from them were derived the names of 
 the days of the week, in the manner following : 
 
 Year, from the Saxon word^car; the space of twelve 
 calendar months, the time in which the earth performs one
