 NOTICE. 
 
 The appearance of a new edition of the dictionary of the French Academy, in 1835, 
 suggested to the celebrated publisher Didot, of Paris, the idea of issuing an improved 
 edition of the well known dictionary of Chambaud. Professor Fleming, formerly Professor 
 of English in the College Louis le Grand, and Professor Tibbins, author of several lexico¬ 
 graphical works, to whom the dictionary was entrusted, found it necessary, however, to 
 make so many additions, that the publishers thought a new title ought in justice to the 
 editors to be adopted. 
 
 It may be sufficient to say, in presenting the present dictionary to the public, that it 
 is based on the New Royal Dictionary of Professors Fleming and Tibbins, which is 
 allowed, by all competent authorities, to be the most copious and comprehensive that has 
 ever appeared. 
 
 The student and reader of French must be constantly impressed with the inadequacy of 
 the dictionaries accessible to him as representatives of the present state of the language; 
 and with the omission of numerous words that are at this time in constant use ; many of 
 which have been introduced in very modern periods: In the dictionary of Professors 
 Fleming and Tibbins these omissions are supplied ; and it has been the anxious endea¬ 
 vour of the American editor to add such terms in Natural History, Medicine, Chemistry, 
 &c., as had not been introduced by those learned gentlemen. To these terms an asterisk 
 (*) has been prefixed ; and in general the particular science to which they belong has 
 been designated. 
 
 The tables of the verbs by Mr. Picot have been added, as being calculated to facilitate 
 the study of this difficult part of the French language. In these tables—it will be seen— 
 the verbs are numbered, and so arranged as to show, at a glance, the formation of the 
 various tenses—simple and compound ; the irregularities ; and modes of conjugation— 
 affirmatively, negatively, and interrogatively. To the different verbs, as they occur in 
 the body of the dictionary, a number is affixed referring to the tables ; and as their pro¬ 
 nunciation is distinctly indicated, the work may be considered as affording a complete and 
 ready means of ascertaining the modes of conjugation, and the pronunciation of the verbs 
 of the French language in all their forms—a desideratum not to be found in any other 
 publication of the same nature.

 sh, as in shore, ash. 
 
 t, as in table, bit. 
 
 v, as in vine, love. 
 
 w, as in wag. 
 
 y, as in yes. 
 
 z, as in zone, size. 
 
 2 , as in azure. 
 
 * The g and k in italic type denote that, between 
 them and the following vowel, a sound like e or y is 
 interposed, the better to unite the letters, and soften a 
 little their hard articulation. This softened articula¬ 
 tion of the hard c and k, and g, is noticed in Steele’s 
 Gram., p. 49; reproved in Nare’s Orth., p. 28, as “a 
 monster of pronunciation only heard on the English 
 stage." It is given as polite pronunciation by Mr. 
 Walker, who, in his Pronouncing Dictionary, p. 13 and 
 21, directs us to pronounce card, guard , kind, etc., as if 
 spelt ke-hard, ghe-ard, or gyard, kyind, etc. This inter¬ 
 mediate sound is very obvious in cue and argue, which 
 are not pronounced kou and argou, but as if a k or g 
 were articulated before the pronoun you, so that kyou 
 and argyou offer the same sounds as cue and argue. 
 
 The sound of this y between the k or g and the diph¬ 
 thong ou, is precisely that which the French interpose 
 between them and their u, as in curé, legume, and 
 which they frequently express by an u after q, or before 
 their e and te as in manqué, quête, vainqueur, guette, 
 4 
 
 Directions for using the similar sounds and 
 articulations. 
 
 1. The figures over the vowels mark ineir respec¬ 
 tive sounds. To have them perfect they must be 
 stripped of their attending consonants, without losing 
 any part of their peculiar sounds. 
 
 2. Two vowels in the same syllable are to be pro¬ 
 nounced together, and the first shorter than the second. 
 Thus in pîâ-tà, the similar sounds for piété, the Ï 
 must be united with â , precisely as, in the word osier, 
 the i is united, with er. 
 
 3. 1 marked with the figure 1, is equivalent to ie in 
 
 4. oo in the same syllable have a single figure, to 
 show that they express a single sound, as in môod or 
 hôod. 
 
 5. In nouns of the singular number, the final vowel 
 marked 2, undergoes the same change in the plural ; 
 thus â-ml, trà- 2 ôr, similar sounds of a-mi, trésor, 
 become in the plural â-ml, trà- 2 Ôr. 
 
 6. The standards that, have a u, or an n in italic 
 type, are peculiar to the French language. Look 
 to them as directed in the foregoing table. 
 
 7. When u has no figure, it makes, with the vowel e, 
 one of the sounds of the diphthong eu in jeûne, 
 mèute, bêurre. 
 
 8. The three nasal sounds that have no figure never 
 vary. 
 
 9. An adjective or participle, whose feminine is 
 not noticed in the similar spelling, is pronounced in 
 the same manner for both genders, except the sound 
 of a, which is somewhat longer for the feminine. 
 
 10. The syllables are divided as they are heard in 
 conversation, and not as they are counted in poetry. 
 
 EXAMPLES. 
 
 Veiller, vê-Zà. The figure 2 above the e refers to 
 the e in ebb; the figure 3 above the a refers to the a 
 in base ; and the 1 in italic refers to the articulation 
 of gl in the word seraglio. In the locution veiller à 
 sa conduite, where er is followed by a vowel, its 
 figured, pronunciation would be vê-lêr. See page 
 7, col. 2, termination er. 
 
 Courtisan, e, kôor-ti-zàn, zàn. The figure 5 
 above the o refers to oo in hood, the figure 2 above 
 the i refers to i in fig ; the figure 4 above the first 
 zan refers to the first syllable of antique ; the figure 
 2 above the second zan (which represents the feminine 
 termination of the substantive courtisan, and is sepa¬ 
 rated from the masculine by a comma), refers to a in 
 bat : the n to be articulated as in the word man. 
 
 Poignard, pwà-gnâr. The figure 2 above the a, 
 in both syllables, refers to a in bat ; the gn without a 
 hyphen, refers to gn in the word poignant. 
 
 Baguenaude, bâg-nôd. The figure 2 above the a. 
 refers to the a in bat; the figure 1 above the o refers 
 to the o in robe; the g separated from the n by a 
 hyphen refers to the gn in the word magnificent. 
 
 Guerre, gè r. The figure 1 above the e refers to the 
 e in there ; and the g in italic refers to the g in the 
 word guard, as pronounced by Walker. See note 
 immediately below the table of the consonants. 
 
 Jour, zôor. The figure 4 above the first o refers to 
 the oo in mood ; the z in italic refers to the z as pro¬ 
 nounced in the word azure. 
 
 guide, rigueur, etc., wherein these letters are less hard 
 than in corps, garde, though harder than in cet, cité 
 gène, gîte. 
 
RULES FOR THE PRONUNCIATION 
 
 OF THE 
 
 FRENCH VOWELS AND DIPHTHONGS. 
 
 CHIEFLY COLLECTED FROM THE 
 
 PROSODY OF L’ABBE D’OLIVET, 
 
 AND FROM THE BEST WRITERS ON THE SUBJECT. 
 
 A has two sounds. It is long in bâs, and short in 
 bal. The English have the first sound in bar, and 
 the second in bat. 
 
 It is long in the alphabet, but short when it is a 
 verb or preposition : il a, he has ; a, to. 
 
 It is short in the beginning of a word, except in 
 âcre, âge, âffres, âgnas, âme, âne, âpre, ârrhes, âs, 
 and in their derivatives, âcrelé, âgé, etc. 
 
 It is short at the end of words, papa, aima, chanta. 
 In those taken from foreign languages, it is some¬ 
 thing between long and short, as in sofa, agenda, etc. 
 
 Abe is long only in astrolabe and crâbe* * * § 
 
 Able is long in most verbs and substantives,! 
 except table and érable, wherein it is short, as in all 
 adjectives, according to M. D’Olivet; and doubtful, 
 according to M. Féraud. Custom seems to be in 
 favour of the latter.! 
 
 Abre is long, even before a masculine^ termi¬ 
 nation: sâbre, sabrer, etc. 
 
 Ac. General rules: All final syllables are short, 
 when followed by any consonant except s, z, or x : 
 sac, nectar, sel, pot, uf, etc. 
 
 All masculine syllables, long or short in the sin¬ 
 gular number, are always long in the plural: des 
 sâcs, des sels, des pots, etc. 
 
 All masculine nouns that end their singular num¬ 
 ber with s, z, or a:, are long : le temps, lenêz, la voix, etc. 
 
 Ace is long only in grâce, espace, délâce, lâce, en- 
 trelâce. 
 
 Ache is long only in lâche, tâche (a task), gâche, 
 relâche, mâche, fâche, and in the verbs derived from 
 them, even before a masculine syllable : lâcher, 
 relâchons , etc. 
 
 Acle is long only in râcle, il débâcle ; doubtful in 
 all others. 
 
 Acre is long only in âcre (sharp, sour). 
 
 Ade is always short : aubade, fade, etc. 
 
 Adre is short only in ladre, long in all other words, 
 even before a masculine syllable : câdrc, câdrer, etc. 
 
 * These rules chiefly relate to final syllables, the 
 sound of which is more easily distinguished. 
 
 t Mr. Tardy thinks the termination in most of 
 the verbs and substantives which end in able is 
 long: still, the a in the French termination able 
 being shorter than the a of the English word bat to 
 which it refers ; we have adopted the opinion which 
 pronounces it doubtful; and as we have suppressed 
 all doubtful sounds, as being very puzzling to the 
 English student, we have always referred that ter¬ 
 mination to bat, in which the a has nearly the same 
 sound as in able. 
 
 Î A doubtful vowel is long when its word ends a 
 sentence; in other cases it is generally short. 
 
 § A syllable is termed feminine when it ends with 
 an e mute, like sobre, aimes, parlent. All other ter¬ 
 minations are masculine. 
 
 Afe, aphe, are always short : carafe, épitaphe, etc. 
 
 Affres, afre, are long only in âffres and bâfre. 
 
 Afe is long even before a masculine syllable: 
 râfle, rafler, etc. 
 
 Age is long only in âge. 
 
 Ague is long only in gagne, and all the tenses of 
 the verb gâgner. 
 
 Ague is always short : bague, dague, etc. 
 
 Ai, a false diphthong, which admits of the three 
 sounds of the masculine e, has the sound of the 
 close é only in j'âi,je sais, tu sais, bâi; of the open 
 acute e in the middle, and at the end of words, ex¬ 
 cept in essai, delai, vrai, wherein it is doubtful, ac¬ 
 cording to some ; long and open, according to others ; 
 and of the open grave <s, when followed by e, s, rs, 
 ts, re, and when it has the circumflex accent ; plaie 
 jamais, pairs, portraits, faire, faite, etc. 
 
 Aie is always long. General rules: All vowels 
 immediately followed by an e mute are long : plaie, 
 pensée, joie, etc. Except when there is a liquid arti¬ 
 culation, as in paye. But many authors change the 
 y into i, and write paie, in which case there is no 
 occasion for this exception. 
 
 When a vowel meets any other vowel but the 
 mute e, it becomes short : i, for instance, is long in 
 je lie, and short in nous lions. 
 
 Aigne is always short : châtaigne, dédaigne, etc. 
 
 Aigre is always short : aigre, maigre, etc. 
 
 Ail is alw 7 ays short: General rule : All final syl¬ 
 lables are short that end with a liquid l, eventail, 
 soleil, seuil, etc. 
 
 Aille is short in médaille, je travaille, détaille, 
 émaillé, bâille (I give), and in all the tenses of these 
 verbs. It is long in all other words, even before a 
 masculine syllable : raille, raillons, etc. 
 
 Aillet, ai.llir, are always short: pâillet, jâillir , etc. 
 j Aillon is short only in médaillon and bataillon ; 
 and in these verbs, nous détaillons, émâillons, tra¬ 
 vaillons, bâillons (we give); but long in nous bâil¬ 
 lons (we yawn), and in all other words. 
 
 Aim, ain, im, in. General rule : All nasal termi¬ 
 nations, followed by a consonant which begins 
 another syllable, are long : jâm-be, mén-tor, bôm-be, 
 crâin-dre, etc. 
 
 But w 7 hen the m or n of the nasal terminations is 
 doubled, there is no nasal sound, and the vowel is 
 short : épigram-me, person-ne, etc. 
 
 An exact standard for this nasal sound is not to be 
 found in the English pronunciation, though some¬ 
 thing like it is heard in the word hang. With re¬ 
 gard, however, to this and oîher nasal sounds, as 
 on, un, Mr. Walker very properly observes, that “ If, 
 in pronouncing them, the tongue should once touch 
 the roof of the mouth (as it happens in pronouncing: 
 man, men, sin, son, sun), the French nasal sound 
 w 7 ould be ruined.” 
 
 The French standard for this is in, in vin. 
 
 Aime, the only word that has this termination, is 
 short. 
 
 ô 
 
RULES FOR PRONUNCIATION. 
 
 Aine is long only in haine, chaîne, gaine, traîne, 
 and in their derivatives. 
 
 Air is doubtful in the singular, and long in the 
 plural: éclairs, etc. 
 
 Aire, ais, aix, aise, aisse, are always long; paire, 
 palais, etc. 
 
 Ait, aile, are long only in plait, nàil, repaît, faite 
 ( t0 .P) ; 
 
 Aitre is always long: maître, etc. 
 
 Ale is long only in hale, pâle, un mâle, râle, and in 
 their derivatives, hâler, pâleur, etc. 
 
 Aile is always short : malle, etc. 
 
 Am, an, em, en. This nasal vowel has four 
 sounds ; it is always long when spelt with an a, 
 except in comptant (ready money).* 
 
 When it is spelt with an e, it is long in the begin¬ 
 ning, and in the middle of words, and at the end of 
 adjectives, as in prudent, ensemble, exempt, etc. 
 
 2dly. Generally short at the end of substantives 
 and adverbs, as in vent, sagement, etc. 
 
 3dly. Short and slender in mien, tien, sien, bien, 
 lien, rien, etc. 
 
 4thly. Long and slender in the plural of these 
 words, in mentor, and some other words, wherein it 
 has the sound of in, in vin. 
 
 The first sound is heard in the two syllables of 
 énfânt, and in the first of encore, which the English 
 have adopted with its nasal sound. 
 
 The second has for standard en in chit. Those 
 who can pronounce en in encore, may easily obtain 
 its short sound by dwelling less upon it. Something 
 like it is heard in the word sand. 
 
 The third, heard in the last syllable of lien, has 
 something like it in the word send. 
 
 The fourth, heard in mentor, has the sound of in 
 in vin. See under Aim what is said of the nasal 
 sounds. 
 
 In this dictionary, the first three sounds of that 
 nasal vowel are always spelt en, except after the 
 hard g and k, where the a is belter calculated to 
 preserve the hard articulation of these two conso¬ 
 nants. 
 
 Ame is long only in âme, infâme, blâme, il se 
 pâme, un brâme ; in the preterites, as aimâmes, etc., 
 and in flamme, although the m be doubled. 
 
 Ane, anne, are long only in crâne âne, mânes, la 
 mânne, une mânne, dâmne and condâmne. 
 
 Ape, appe, are long only in râpe, and in the verb 
 râper. 
 
 Apre is always long. 
 
 Aque is long only in pâque and Jacques. 
 
 Ar is always short. N. B. Some authorities are 
 for excepting char and proper names, as César, 
 Gibraltar, etc., which are certainly pronounced long, 
 at the end of a sentence. 
 
 Arbe. General rule : In all syllables ending with 
 an r, and followed by another consonant which be¬ 
 gins another syllable, the vowel is short : bar-be, 
 ber-ceau, etc. 
 
 Ard, art, are doubtful. Rut when an e mute fol¬ 
 lows the d or t, the a is short. See Arbe, cafard, 
 cafarde. 
 
 Are is always long: pare ; but becomes short be¬ 
 fore a masculine syllable: il para, etc. 
 
 Arre. General rule: All vowels before rr, which 
 form a single articulation, are long, as ârrêt, bârre, etc. 
 
 Exceptions to this rule will be found in their re¬ 
 spective places. 
 
 Ari is long only in hourvâri. 
 
 As is generally long, as in tâs, bas, âs, Pallâs, etc. 
 
 Ase. General rule : S or z, between two vow'els, 
 the last of which is an e mute, lengthens and opens 
 the penultima : bâse, pise, etc. ; but this penultima 
 
 * Am, an, em, en, these four terminations are un¬ 
 doubtedly different in their sounds, but the differ¬ 
 ence is so little that only a native can distinguish it, 
 and in a hundred English students, not one perhaps 
 would be able to find it out: we have therefore 
 "eferred them all to an of the French word antique. 
 
 6 
 
 often becomes short before a masculine syllable, as 
 in peser, apaiser, etc. 
 
 Aspe. General rule : An s articulated after a 
 vowel, and followed by another consonant, always 
 renders the vowel short: jaspe, masque, lustre, etc. 
 
 Asse is long in the substantives: basse, châsse 
 (shrine), clâsse, échâsse, pâsse, masse (stake), and 
 tâsse ; in the adjectives bâsse, grâsse, lâsse ; in the 
 verbs casse, amâsse, enchâsse, compâsse, sâsse ; and 
 in their masculine terminations, câsser, etc. ; in 
 words derived from, or composed of these verbs; 
 also in the terminations of the subjunctive mood, 
 aimâsse, parlâsses, chantâssent, etc. It is short in 
 all other words. 
 
 At is long only in bât, mât, dégât, and in the third 
 person singular of the preterite of the subjunctive. 
 qu'il aimât, etc. 
 
 Ate, ates, are long only in pâle, hâte, il appâte, gâte, 
 mâte, démâte; and in the preterite tense, chantâtes,etc. 
 
 Aire, attre, is only short in quatre, battre, and its 
 derivatives. 
 
 Au, a false diphthong, has the three sounds of the 
 French o. See O. 
 
 It is generally long and open before a feminine 
 termination or a consonant at the end of a word; in 
 the plural number, and under the circumflex accent ; 
 as in âuge, châud, maux, etc. 
 
 It is short in Paul, and before two consonants, as 
 in augmenter, etc. 
 
 It is long and broad before re, as in restâure, etc.; 
 in all other cases it is generally doubtful, as in au¬ 
 dace, épauler, joyau, etc. 
 
 Ave is short in rave, cave, etc. ; frequently long, as 
 in grave, entrave, etc. ; and doubtful in brave and 
 Balave. 
 
 Avre is always long : cadâvre, etc. 
 
 Ax, axe, are always short : thorax, parallaxe, etc. 
 
 The French Academy admits three sounds of the 
 letter e : the close , the open, and the mute. 
 
 But the open may be more or less so. It is a little 
 open in ferme, and entirely so in procès. When it 
 is a little open, the Academy calls it open acute, 
 and assigns for its standard the first e in trompette. 
 Dumarsais, and others, call it the common or middle 
 e: when it is entirely open, it is called open grave. 
 Therefore we must distinguish three masculine é's, 
 viz., the close, the open acute, and the open grave. 
 
 These are termed masculine, in opposition to the 
 mute e, the sign of the feminine gender in most ad¬ 
 jectives, and all past participles. 
 
 The close é is so called from its being pronounced 
 with the mouth almost closed, and from its slender 
 sound. 
 
 It may be deemed short, if compared with its 
 feminine termination, wherein the e mute obliges 
 us to dwell somewhat more upon it, as is obvious in 
 aisé, aisée ; but it is long, if compared with the open 
 acute, which is shorter, though it frequently bears 
 the same accent. This is observable in créé, where¬ 
 in the first é is somewhat more open than the last, 
 and evidently shorter, according to the general rule 
 which is to be found after the termination éé. See Éé. 
 
 The natural standard for this é is the primitive 
 sound by which it is known in the French alphabet 
 as in bonté, and answers to the first letter in the 
 English alphabet, as in fate. 
 
 The open acute é, so named from being somewhat 
 more open than the close é, and from the acute ac¬ 
 cent which it frequently bears, is always short. It 
 is found in the first e of créé or trompette, and is the 
 same as in the English words, met, ebb. 
 
 The open grave è is so called from requiring a 
 greater opening of the mouth, and from the grave 
 <>or circumflex accent which generally attends it, as 
 in après and tête. It is similar in sound to the 
 English e in there. 
 
 The mute e is a mere emission of the voice, and 
 is so very imperceptible to the ear, that the diffe¬ 
 rence between froc and froque, crep and crêpe, can 
 only be decided by the spelling. 
 
RULES FOR PRONUNCIATION. 
 
 Dumarsais thinks that the articulation of the con- i 
 sonant by which it is preceded, is sufficient to ex¬ 
 press it, as in mner, and dmender, the figured spell¬ 
 ing of mener and demander. In monosyllables, 
 however, and in the first syllables of other words, 
 the imperfect sound of this letter is more perceptible, 
 and may be termed guttural. 
 
 At the end of polysyllables, where it is entirely 
 mute, it is like the second e in there, and generally 
 serves to lengthen or open the preceding vowel: 
 when it is more perceptible, it is like the e in bat¬ 
 tery or over ; and even then the French suppress it 
 as often as they can, especially when the preceding 
 or following syllable has a full sound. 
 
 P. Gatineau, who has written on this subject, 
 gives the following example, which is very correct: 
 “ Quand vous serez le meme, vous me trouverez le 
 même. This sentence contains thirteen syllables in 
 prose, quand-vous-se-rez-le-même-vous-me-trou-ve-rez- 
 le-même. In poetry même would have two syllables. 
 However, in familiar reading and conversation, it is 
 pronounced in eight syllables only, quand-vou-srel- 
 même-voum-trouv-rel-même." The suppression of 
 this e is precisely the reason why foreigners imagine 
 that the French speak so very quick. 
 
 This imperfect sound would be insupportable in 
 two syllables together at the end of a word. To 
 avoid this dissonance, therefore, the mute e is 
 changed into an open è, in the penultima of verbs, 
 as in mène from mener ; in tienne from tenir, where 
 the consonant is doubled, producing the same effect ; 
 while in others the e is changed into the diphthong 
 oi, as in doivent from devoir. 
 
 When the pronoun je comes after its verb, it 
 produces the same effect, so thatye chante, je mène, 
 become chantéje? mené-je? And in this case the 
 guttural e of mener that had become open acute in 
 mène, becomes again guttural in mené-je ? 
 
 E, when under the acute accent, is generally 
 close at the end of words, as bonté, aisé ; 2dly, in 
 adverbs derived from adjectives ending in e, as 
 aisémeiit ; 3dly, before the feminine termination of 
 adjectives, where it is somewhat longer, as in aisée ; 
 in every other place it is almost always open acute.* 
 It is close likewise in the termination ez and er, 
 when the r is silent; and open acute in any other 
 place where it is not open grave, or doubtful. 
 
 It is generally open grave under the circumflex 
 and grave accent ; and sometimes doubtful, as will 
 be seen hereafter. 
 
 N. B. The following rules relate to the open 
 acute é, and to the open grave, when the word 
 dose is not mentioned. 
 
 Ecle, ebre, ec, ece, are always short : bee, niece, etc. 
 
 Eche is long only in bêche, lèche, griêchc, pêche 
 (fishing, or peach), revêche, il pêche (he fishes), dé¬ 
 pêche, empêche, prêche, and in all the tenses and 
 persons of these verbs. 
 
 Ecle, eel, ele, ede, eder, are always short: siècle, 
 insecte., céder, etc. 
 
 Ee is always long and close, as in animée, etc. 
 See Aie. 
 
 Ee. General rule: All vowels before any other 
 than the mute e, are short; créé, féal, hair, etc. 
 
 * It has been thought proper to adhere to the an¬ 
 cient custom of writing this second e with the acute 
 accent, to avoid the double mistake frequently occa¬ 
 sioned by those who of late have written it with 
 the grave accent, in some terminations, as éce, éde, 
 etc. Those w r ho are unacquainted with M. d’Oli- 
 vet’s rules, being misled by the grave accent, give 
 to that é the sound of the open grave è, whilst on 
 the other hand, they are induced to confound with 
 the close e all the open acute ones, which have not 
 been subjected to this partial reform. A little atten¬ 
 tion to the above rule will be sufficient to prevent 
 the mistaking of the close é for the open acute. As 
 to the exceptions to this or any of these rules, the 
 similar spelling of every word will remove all doubts. 
 
 Ef is always short; effe, ejle, are long only in 
 grêffe and néjle. 
 
 Ege is always long: collège, etc. Some make it 
 short. The prevailing custom seems to be for pro¬ 
 nouncing it long at the end of a sentence and short 
 in any other place. 
 
 Egle is always short: règle, sèigle, etc. 
 
 Egne is doubtful : règne, douègne, etc. 
 
 Eille is long in viêille, vieillard, vieillesse, which 
 have the sound of the close é. 
 
 Ein, einte, are always long. See Aim. 
 
 Eine is long only in rêine. 
 
 Eiire is long only in rêitre. 
 
 Ele is long only in zèle, poêle, frêle, pêle-mêle, 
 grêle, il se fêle, il bêle. 
 
 Em, en. See Aim and An. But there is no nasal 
 sound in Béthléèm, item, amèn,hymèn, etc. And when¬ 
 ever the m or n is articulated, the e is open acute. 
 
 Erne is short only in sème. It is doubtlul in crème ; 
 and long in any other word. The terminations in 
 ieme are frequently heard short before another word. 
 
 Ene is long only in cène, chêne, scène, gêne, alêne 
 rêne, frêne, arène, pêne, and in all proper names 
 Enne is always short, étrènne, etc. 
 
 Epe is always long : crêpe, etc. 
 
 Epre is short only in lèpre, etc. 
 
 Epie, eptre, are always short : précèpte, scèptre, etc. 
 
 Eque is long only in évêque, archevêque. 
 
 Er is long and open in fêr, enfer, mêr, amer, 
 hivêr ; long and close in légêr, altiêr ; and in ail 
 nouns and verbs, as aimêr, berger, etc., when the r 
 is silent ; but when the r is articulated, as it must 
 be, especially in verbs, before a word beginning 
 with a vowel, the e is open acute, and short as in 
 the English word ebb, see Table of the Simple 
 Sounds, p. 11. This articulation of the r, however, 
 is principally applicable to solemn reading. 
 
 Erie, erce, erse, erche, ercle, erde, erdre, are all 
 short. See Arbe. 
 
 Erd, ert, are doubtful : il perd, désert, etc. 
 
 Ere is doubtful : frère, chimère, etc., but it is con 
 stantly long in the third persons plural of verbs: ils 
 espèrent, parlèrent, etc. 
 
 Erge, ergue, erle, erme, erne, erpe, erte, ertre, 
 esque, este, estre, are all short. See Arbe. 
 
 Erre is always long, even before a masculine syl¬ 
 lable: guêrre, vêrrons, etc., but it is short when the 
 two rr are heard separately, as in erreur , etc. 
 
 Esse is long only in abêsse, profêsse, confesse, 
 prêsse, comprêsse, cêsse, lêsse, expresse, il s'emprêsse, 
 il profêsse. 
 
 Et is long only in arrêt, benêt, forêt, genêt, prêt, 
 aprêt, acquêt, intérêt, têt, protêt, il êst. 
 
 Eté is long only in bête, fête, arbalète, boête, tem¬ 
 pête, quête, conquête, enquête, requête, arrête, crête, 
 tête ; it i-s doubtful in êtes and honnête, and short in 
 all the rest. 
 
 Etre is long only in être, salpêtre, ancêtre, fenêtre, 
 prêtre, champêtre, nêlre, chevêtre,guêtre, je me dépêtre. 
 
 Eu. This diphthong has three different sounds: 
 it is long and close in jêune (fasting), short in jèune 
 (young) ; long and open in bêurre. 
 
 The first has no standard in English ; but it may 
 be obtained by pressing the lips a little forward, in 
 such a manner as to leave to the breath a narrower 
 passage than for the e of over, and by dwelling 
 longer upon it. 
 
 The second is somewhat more open than the e of 
 over, and can hardly be distinguished from it. 
 
 The third may be obtained by opening the lips 
 somewhat wider, and in a more circular form, than 
 for the e of over, and by protracting the sound.* 
 
 * No grammarian, I believe, has ever distinguish¬ 
 ed the third sound, so different from the two first. 
 Hence some pronounce bêurre, lêurre, etc., with the 
 sound of eu, in jeune, which is a very vicious pro¬ 
 nunciation; for in French, as in English, the r 
 generally opens the sound of the preceding vowel. 
 By others, and specially by foreigners, feux, dieux. 
 
RULES FOR PRONUNCIATION. 
 
 Eu, unless accented, is short in the beginning 
 and in the middle of words : heureux, ameuter, etc. ; 
 it is doubtful at the end, feu, jeu, etc., and when it 
 is long it has the close sound of eu in jeune , unless 
 it be followed by an r. 
 
 Euf is always short: neuf, veuf, etc. 
 
 Eule is long only in meule. 
 
 Eune is long only in jeune (fasting). 
 
 Eur is generally short, leur, peur, etc.; it is doubt¬ 
 ful in cœur, chœur, sœur, and long open in all plural 
 nouns.* 
 
 Eure is doubtful, but always open, heure, infé¬ 
 rieure, etc. 
 
 Eux, euse, are always long and close : feux, jeux, 
 heureuse, etc. 
 
 Eve is long only in trêve, grève, rêve, rêver ; it is 
 doubtful in fève, brève, il achève, crève, se lève, 
 although mute in crever, achever, se lever. 
 
 Evre is doubtful, lèvre, sèvre, etc. 
 
 Ex, exe, are always short, perplex, sexe, etc. 
 
 N. B. All the terminations of the three following 
 vowels not noticed in these Rules, are constantly 
 short. 
 
 I has two sounds ; it is long in gîte, and short in 
 amt. The standard for the first, in English, is ie in 
 field, and of the second i in fig. 
 
 ldre is long only in hidre and cidre. 
 
 Ie is always long. See Aie. 
 
 Ien, when it is a dissyllable, both syllables are 
 short, as in It-en ; but it is doubtful when it is a 
 monosyllable, as in mien, tien, etc. ; when it is long 
 it has the sound of in in vin. See An. 
 
 Ige is doubtful, as in tige,prodige,litige, il oblige,etc. 
 
 Ile is long only in lie, huile, tuile, presqu'île. 
 
 1m, in. See Ain. 
 
 Imes is long only in abîme, dime, and in the pre¬ 
 terite tense, vîmes, prîmes, etc. 
 
 t Ire is doubtful : empire, soupire, etc., but always 
 long in the preterite tense, prirent, punirent, etc. 
 
 lse is always long : surprise, etc. 
 
 Isse is only long in these terminations of the sub¬ 
 junctive, fisse, prisses, punissent, etc. 
 
 It is long only in the preterite of the subjunctive : 
 qu'il prît, qu'il fît, etc. 
 
 lie is long in bénite, gîte, vite, and in the preterite 
 tenses, vîtes, finîtes, etc. 
 
 lire is long in epître, huître, litre; but short in 
 regtlre and all the rest. 
 
 Ive is long only in adjectives: vive, craintive , etc. 
 
 Ivre is long only in vivres. 
 
 O has three sounds ; it is long and open in trône, 
 and short in noble. It is long and broad when the o 
 precedes the final syllable re, adore, jlôre, aurore ; 
 when the or is connected with the following conso¬ 
 nant, as in corps, alors, fort ; as also when it con¬ 
 stitutes a word, or.\ 
 
 généreux, jeune, etc., are pronounced with the sound 
 of eu in beurre, which is no less exceptionable. 
 
 * The French termination eur undergoes so tri¬ 
 fling a change in its plural, that we have made no 
 difference in them, and refer both singular and 
 plural to eu of beurre. 
 
 t Ir. This termination not being noticed here, it 
 must, according to Mr. Tardy, be short; however, 
 the sound of this termination, in most of our verbs, 
 is longer than the i of bit, to which it refers, and not 
 quite so long as ie of field; but we have adhered to 
 this termination, as being more nearly allied to the 
 French sound than the other. 
 
 Î We have made use of a fourth termination, to 
 represent the sound of o when it is as open but not 
 so long as o in trône ; which is generally the case 
 when the o is followed by no consonant, or when 
 the consonant that follows is mute, as in vos, héros, 
 mot, in which the o is as open but somewhat shorter 
 than the o in the word robe, to which it was con¬ 
 stantly referred. 
 
 N. B. This third sound has not been noticed by 
 any grammarian. It would, however, be highly 
 improper to pronounce the o in aurore, corps, alors, 
 etc., like the o in trône or noble. 
 
 The standard in English is, for the first, o in robe ; 
 for the second, o in rob; for the third, o in lord. 
 
 O in the beginning of a word, is long only in ôs, 
 osier, ôter, hôte. 
 
 Obe is long only in globe and lobe. 
 
 Ode, oge, are long only in rôde, dôge. 
 
 Oi, a diphthong that sometimes has the sounds of 
 wa in war, or wart ; sometimes those of e in there or 
 ebb. It is doubtful at the end of words, where it 
 has always the sounds of wâ or wâ, moi, toi, roi, etc. 
 
 Oie is always long: joie, etc. 
 
 Oient, a false diphthong, that has always the sound 
 of the open grave e, ils aimôient, etc. 
 
 Oin, a diphthong, which has the sound of in in 
 vin, preceded by the English w. See Aim. 
 
 Oir is doubtful : savoir, espoir, etc. 
 
 Oire is always long : boire, mémoire, etc. 
 
 Ois, oise, oisse, oitre, oivre, are always long, whe¬ 
 ther they have the sound of wâ, or of an open grave è. 
 
 Oit is long only in il parôit, connôit and croit (he 
 increases). 
 
 Ole is long only in drôle, pôle, geôle, môle, rôle, 
 contrôle, il enjôle, enrôle, vole (he steals). 
 
 Om, on. This nasal vowel has no exact standard 
 in English; but something like it is heard in song. 
 See Aim. In French its standard is on, in mon, and 
 it is always long. 
 
 Ome is short only in Rome. Omme is always short. 
 
 One is always long when the n is not doubled : 
 trône, etc. 
 
 Or is always short, according to M. d’Olivet. 
 Some think it short only in castor, butor, encor; but 
 longer in all the other words, when r is followed by 
 a d or a t. This latter opinion, seems to prevail, 
 especially when the word ends a sentence. There¬ 
 fore, o in or, essor, port, bord, etc., should be placed 
 in the class of the doubtful vowels. 
 
 Ore is always long and broad: encore, évapore, etc. 
 But it becomes short before a masculine syllable, 
 évaporer, etc. ; unless followed by two rr, which 
 form a single articulation, as in éclôrrai, etc. 
 
 Os, ose, are always long: repos, oppose, etc. 
 
 Osse is long only in grosse, fosse, endosse, en¬ 
 grosse, and in their derivatives, which preserve the 
 o long even before a masculine syllable : grosseur, etc. 
 
 Ol is long only in impôt, lôt, dépôt, entrepôt, sup¬ 
 pôt, prévôt, rôt. 
 
 Ole is long only in hôte, côte, mallôle, ôte. The 
 three last preserve the o long before a masculine 
 syllable : côté, ôter, maltôtier, etc. 
 
 Olre is long in apôtre, nôtre and vôtre. 
 
 Ou, a false diphthong, which is long in roule, and 
 short in boule. 
 
 The first has for its standard, in English, the two 
 oo in mood ; the second, the two oo in good. 
 
 Oudre, oue, are always long: moudre, je loue, etc. 
 
 Ouille is long only in rouille, il dérouille, em¬ 
 brouille, débrouille ; but becomes short before a 
 masculine syllable, rouiller, brouillon, etc. 
 
 Ouïe is long only in moule (muscle), la foule, 
 sôule, il foule, écroule, roule. 
 
 Oure is doubtful : bravoure, etc. 
 
 Ourre is always long; but ourr becomes short 
 before a masculine syllable, contrary to the rule 
 after arre ; bourrade, courrier. 
 
 Ousse is long only in pousse. 
 
 Out is long only in août, côut, gôut, môut. 
 
 Oute is long in absoute, joute, croate, vôute ; il 
 coûte, broute, gôute, ajoute ; but mostly short before 
 a masculine syllable : jouter, etc. 
 
 Outre is long only in poutre and côutre. 
 
 U has two sounds ; it is long in base, and short in 
 bid. 
 
 There is no standard for these sounds in English. 
 To form the first, observe the situation of the 
 tongue when you pronounce the English letter a 
 
RULES FOR PRONUNCIATION. 
 
 It widens itself into the cheeks, so that it touches 
 the first grinders. When the tongue is in this 
 situation, advance both lips a little forward, shutting 
 them at the same time in such a manner as to leave 
 a narrow oval passage tor the breath. This move¬ 
 ment will lightly press the tongue between the 
 grinders, and its tip against the fore-teeth of the 
 inferior jaw, and thus let pass what breath is neces¬ 
 sary to emit the sound of the French u. Its short 
 sound is formed by dwelling less upon it. 
 
 Uche is long only in bûche, embûche, débuche. 
 
 Ve is always long: vûe, tortûe, etc. 
 
 Uge is doubtful : déluge, juge, etc. 
 
 Ule is long only in brûle, and in all the tenses of 
 brûler. 
 
 Um, un. See Aim. This nasal vowel has no 
 standard in English. Its sound is formed by lower¬ 
 ing the inferior part of the mouth somewhat more 
 than for the pronunciation of u, making at the same 
 time the opening of the lips more circular, and 
 throwing the breath against the interior part of 
 the roof whilst the tongue touches lightly the 
 grinders in removing a little from the fore-teeth of 
 the inferior jaw. 
 
 Urnes is long only in preterite tenses: parûmes, 
 reçûmes, etc. 
 
 Ure is always long: injûre, parjure, etc. 
 
 Usse, usses, ussent, are always long, except in la 
 Prusse, les Russes. 
 
 Ut is long only in fût (hogshead), affût; and in 
 the preterite of the subjunctive, qu'il fût, etc. 
 
 Ute is long only in flûte, and in preterite tenses, 
 lûtes, parûtes, etc. 
 
 N. B. Few of these rules are without some ex¬ 
 ceptions. These exceptions, together with the pro¬ 
 nunciation of the proper and improper diphthongs 
 not noticed in these rules, and likewise the various 
 articulations of consonants, are shown in the similar 
 spelling of their respective words. 
 
 But as w T ords are spelt as they are pronounced 
 when alone, or before a consonant, we shall parti¬ 
 cularly notice here the final consonants which cease 
 to be silent w'hen they meet a word beginning with 
 a vowel. 
 
 Directions for the Articulation of the 
 final consonants before a vowel or h 
 mute. 
 
 1st General Rule: Final consonants are to be 
 articulated before a word beginning with a vowel 
 or h mute.* 
 
 2d General Rule: All final consonants that are 
 articulated when the word stands alone, or before 
 the consonant of another word, preserve the same 
 articulation before a vowel. The exceptions will 
 be remarked in the following observations. 
 
 B is articulated only in radoub, and proper names, 
 even before a consonant. 
 
 * No rule is more frequently cited, and yet few 
 have more exceptions, even in public speaking, 
 wherein it ought to be more strictly adhered to. 
 On this point, harmony must be first attended to. 
 Whenever the connection of a final consonant pro¬ 
 duces a discordant sound, it must be avoided; for, 
 as M. d’Olivet has very properly remarked, “ the 
 French prefer an irregularity to a discordance.” 
 
 In cases, however, where a disagreeable sound 
 is not the consequence, the connection should take 
 place, even in conversation, when the first word 
 determines, qualifies, or modifies the second, as the 
 article before its noun; the adjective or pronoun 
 before its substantive; the substantive before its 
 adjective; the noun or pronoun before its verb; the 
 verb before its pronoun, adverb, object, or end; the 
 adverb before an adjective or participle. 
 
 C. When the final c is articulated, it has the arti 
 culalion of a k. 
 
 It is always silent in accroc, arsenic, broc, colignac, 
 marc (weight or sediment), estomac, lacs (love-knots) ; 
 in the last syllable of succinct, and of porc-épic ; and 
 after the nasal sounds, as banc, coJivainc, etc. 
 
 However, it is articulated in done at the begin¬ 
 ning of a sentence and before a vowel ; also in franc- 
 encens, franc-alleu, du blanc au noir. 
 
 D. When the final d is heard before a vowel or h 
 mute, it has the articulation of a t. 
 
 It is always silent in sourd, nid, in the termina¬ 
 tions in ond, rond, etc., and after an r, as in fuyard, 
 accord, etc. 
 
 In other words it is frequently suppressed in con¬ 
 versation. 
 
 It should never be suppressed, 1st, in de fond en 
 comble ; 2d, after quand, before il, ils, eux, elles, on, 
 en, a, au, aux ; 3d, after adjectives followed by their 
 substantives : grand homme, grand arbre, etc. ; 4th, 
 after the third person of verbs, when they are fol¬ 
 lowed by their pronoun personal or the preposition 
 à ; répond-il ? il entend à demi, etc. 
 
 F. The final/ is generally articulated even before 
 a consonant. 
 
 It is silent, even before a vowel; 1st, in baillif, 
 clef, cerf; 2d, in chef and nerf when used in the 
 following expressions, chef d'œuvre, nerf de bœuf, 
 although it must be articulated in any other place; 
 3d, in plural nouns, as bœufs, œufs, etc. ; except in 
 chefs and corne de cerf, wherein it is always articu¬ 
 lated. 
 
 G. The final g, when it is not silent, has the arti¬ 
 culation of a k. 
 
 It is articulated, 1st, in sang and rang before an 
 adjective, sang échauffé, rang élevé, etc. ; 2d, in these 
 or similar sentences, suer sang et eau, de rang en 
 rang, etc.; 3d, always in bourg. 
 
 According to some, it is also heard in long before 
 a substantive: long été, etc., which may be spelt 
 lon-kété. The word long before a vowel is generally 
 avoided, or theg - suppressed in the pronunciation. 
 
 In joug some pronounce it as g in bag, even be¬ 
 fore a consonant ; others suppress it even before a 
 vowel. 
 
 H seldom is, and never ought to be, final in 
 French. It has no articulation. 
 
 When it is deemed aspirate, “ it only communi¬ 
 cates to the vowel the properties of a consonant ; 
 that is to say, if the preceding word ends with a 
 vowel, that vowel is never suppressed; if it ends 
 with a consonant, that consonant is never connected 
 with the vowel which follows. To this is confined 
 all the effect of the aspirated h.” — D'Olivet. 
 
 This pretended aspiration, so different from that 
 of the English, is nothing else than the hiatus occa¬ 
 sioned by the meeting of two vowels, as in go on, 
 go again. 
 
 N. B. The h is preserved in the similar spelling 
 only in words before which no vowel is suppressed, 
 and with which no consonant is connected. 
 
 It is proper to notice here some irregularities of 
 this letter. 
 
 In conversation or prose h is mute in Henri; it 
 may be aspirated in poetry. 
 
 According to the Academy, it is better to aspirate 
 it in hideux. The contrary custom still prevails. 
 
 It is aspirated in Hollande and Hongrie, but mute 
 in toile or fromage d'Hollande, reine ox point d'Hon¬ 
 grie. 
 
 It is mute in huit and its derivatives; however, 
 we spell and pronounce le huit, le huitième, la hui¬ 
 taine, as if it were aspirated. 
 
 Onze and its derivatives, and oui used substan¬ 
 tively, produce the effects of the aspirated h. The 
 vowel is not suppressed before these words, nor any 
 consonant connected with them, les onze, les on¬ 
 zièmes, etc., le oui et le non, tous vos oui, etc., al¬ 
 though we spell and pronounce je crois qu'oui, in¬ 
 stead of je crois que oui. 
 
 L. The final l is never pronounced i n baril, chenil

RULES FOR PRONUNCIATION. 
 
 fusil, gentil, gril, outil, nombril, persil, soul, sourcil, 
 pouls, fils, cul. But gentil in gentilhomme, and gril 
 in verse, take the liquid articulation of gl in se¬ 
 raglio. 
 
 It is sometimes familiarly suppressed in quelque, 
 quelquefois, quelqu’un; though never in quel and 
 quelconque. To suppress the l in il dit, ils ont dit, 
 parle-t-il ? would be to imitate a pronunciation in 
 use only with the vulgar. 
 
 M. Chambaud observes, with regard to this last 
 point, that the l cannot be silent in reading; and 
 that it would be better to pronounce it always, to 
 avoid double meanings. Since this suppression of 
 the l may occasion ambiguity, it cannot be too care¬ 
 fully avoided. 
 
 M. The final m is never articulated when it 
 makes a nasal sound. It is always articulated in 
 hem! item, and in foreign names, Amsterdam, etc. 
 However m is silent in Adam and Absalom, which 
 have a nasal sound. 
 
 N. The final n, when it makes a nasal sound, is 
 articulated before a vowel only in the following 
 cases : 
 
 1st. Adjectives before their substantives, and 
 mon, ton, son, rien, un and bien (adverb), lose their 
 nasal sound in connecting their n with a following 
 vowel, as certain auteur, bon ami, rien au monde, un 
 homme, bien-aimé, etc., pronounced cer-té-no-leur, 
 rié-no-monde, bo-na-mi, u-nom, bié-né-mé. 
 
 2d. Benin and malin ought not to be placed be¬ 
 fore a substantive, except malin esprit, wherein 
 malin preserves its nasal sound, and a second n is 
 articulated before esprit, malin-nesprit. The same 
 may be said of divin amour, divin évangile, pro¬ 
 nounced divin-namour, divin-névangile. 
 
 3d. En and on preserve their nasal sound, but a 
 second n is articulated before a vowel: en entrant, 
 on assure, etc., pronounced en-nen-tran, on-na-sure. 
 But the first after an imperative and the second 
 after its verb, are never connected: par-lez-en à 
 votre ami, a-t-on appris, etc. 
 
 P. The final p of coup, beaucoup and trop, and of 
 the words that have it articulated before a conso¬ 
 nant, are the only ones heard before a vowel. 
 
 Q. When the final q is not silent, it has the arti¬ 
 culation of a 7c. It is always heard in cinq, when 
 alone and before a vowel ; also in coq. 
 
 10 
 
 R. The final r is generally articulated before 
 vowels, at least in reading. 
 
 Except, 1st, monsieur and messieurs, though it be 
 always heard in le sieur, les sieurs ; 
 
 2d, The plural of nouns ending in er, wherein 
 the s alone is articulated like a z ; 
 
 3d, In conversation it is often suppressed before 
 consonants, as in notre, votre, quatre, pronounced 
 not, vot, quat ; but never in notre Père qui êtes aux 
 deux, Notre-Dame, quatre-vingts, nor at the end of 
 a sentence ; 
 
 4th, Sometimes also it is suppressed in conversa¬ 
 tion in the verbs and nouns ending in er ; but never 
 in proper names, words derived from foreign lan¬ 
 guages, nor when the è is open grave, as in Jupiter, 
 pater, mer, etc. 
 
 5th, Some suppress it in words ending in ir ; but 
 it is not the prevailing custom. 
 
 S. The final s, in reading, is always heard before 
 a vow T el. It is articulated as in yes, even before a 
 consonant, in the words vis and cens ; and in the 
 Latin and proper names, Pallas, bolus, etc. 
 
 In every other word, before a vowel, it has the 
 articulation of a z, in which case it is often sup¬ 
 pressed in conversation ; but this would be a fault 
 in reading. 
 
 T. The t final is generally articulated before a 
 vowel; except, 
 
 1st, When it is preceded by another consonant : 
 respect humain, effort étonnant, etc. 
 
 2d, In quatre-vingt-un, quatre-vingt-onze, though 
 it be articulated in vingt et un, and even before 
 consonants in the following numbers, up to vingt- 
 neuf inclusively; 
 
 3d, In all plural nouns, and in et, teint, contrat, 
 moût, têt, protêt, puits ; 
 
 4th, It is silent in fort (adjective), fort et grand , 
 but articulated i nfort (adverb), fort aimable. 
 
 X. The final x is always articulated, 1st, like ks 
 in Greek and Latin words: Styx, préfix, in the 
 word Cadix; like z in Aix ; like double s in Aix- 
 la-Chapelle; and like gz when followed by a vowel, 
 as in exercice, exempt: egzereice, egzempt. 
 
 Z is silent before a vowel only in the word nez ; 
 it is frequently suppressed at the end of other words 
 in conversation; but these and similar licenses, 
 though tolerated, can never be enforced as rules.

 PRONUNCIATION 
 
 OF 
 
 THE TERMINATIONS OF THE FRENCH VERBS. 
 
 At ending the preterite and the future is sounded 
 like e. Ex. : Jaimai, je donnerai. 
 
 Ais, ait, aient, ending the imperfect and conditional 
 present, are sounded like è. Ex.: J’avais, j’aurais. 
 Er, ending a verb,before a consonant is sounded like e 
 Ez, ending the second person plural, is sounded 
 like é. Ex. : ayez. 
 
 R is the only consonant to be sounded at the end of 
 verbs. ThereJore do not sound c, cs, ds, ps, t, x, in 
 vainc, vaincs, prends, romps, as, bats, peux, veux, vaux, 
 etc. ; sound r in avoir, punir, voir, sers, sert, perd, offert, 
 sort, meurs, meurt, etc. But r is not to be sounded in 
 er ending the verbs of the first conjugation. Ex.: don¬ 
 ner, parler, etc.: er in this case is sounded like è. 
 
 REMARKS ON THE FRENCH VERBS. 
 
 » , 
 
 The French verbs are generally divided into four 
 conjugations: those ending in er belong to the first; 
 those in ir to the second ; those in oir to the third ; 
 those in re to the fourth. They are either regular or 
 irregular, and the three preceding pages show how 
 they are conjugated in all their forms. 
 
 Ant is the termination of the present participle with¬ 
 out any exception. Ex.: ayant. 
 
 The imperfect tense of the indicative mood always 
 ends in ais, ais, ait, ions, iez, aient ; it is conjugated like 
 je donnais, and is generally formed by changing ant 
 of the present participle into ais, etc., as, donnant, je 
 donnais, etc. 
 
 The preterite of the indicative ends in four different 
 ways: 1st, in ai, as, a, âmes, ales, brent, as ye donnai, 
 etc., Verb 3; 2d, is, is, it, imes, îles, irent, as je punis, 
 etc., verb 4; 3d, in us, us, ut, urnes, utes, urent, as je 
 reçus, etc., verb 5; 4th, in ins, ins, int, znmes, intes, 
 inrent, as je tins, tu tins, il tint, nous tînmes, vous 
 tîntes, ils tinrent, verb 21. 
 
 The future always ends in rai, ras, ra, rons, rez, 
 ronl, is conjugated like je donnerai, and is generally 
 formed by changing the terminations r, oir, and re of 
 the present infinitive, into rai, etc. Ex. : donner, don¬ 
 nerai, punir, punirai, devoir, devrai, vendre, vendrai. 
 
 The conditional present always ends in rais, rais, 
 rail, rions, riez, raient, is conjugated likeye donnerais, 
 and has its first person formed by adding s to rai of the 
 future. 
 
 In the imperative mood, present tense, the second 
 person singular, the first and second persons plural are 
 like the same persons of the indicative mood, present 
 tense, except in the verbs avoir, to have, être, to be, 
 and savoir, to know, which has sache, sachons, sachez. 
 Tiie third persons, singular and plural, of this tense, 
 are like the same persons of the subjunctive mood, 
 present tense. Ex.: qu’il ail, qu’ils aient. Those verbs 
 which have es at the end of the second person singu¬ 
 lar of the indicative mood and the verb aller, lose 
 the final s in the same person of the imperative, ex¬ 
 cept before y and en. Ex. : donne, donnes-en, cueille, 
 cueilles-en, va, vas-y, etc. 
 
 14 
 
 The present of the subjunctive mood ends in e, es, 
 e, ions, iez, ent, except only in avoir and être, and is 
 conjugated like que je donne, etc., verb 3. The verbs 
 of which the first person is printed in italics in the 
 present of the subjunctive, have in the first and 
 second persons plural irregularities, which are shown 
 in the last column of page 13. The first person sin¬ 
 gular of this tense may generally be obtained by 
 changing ant of the present participle into e. 
 
 The imperfect tense of the subjunctive mood always 
 ends in sse, sses, t, ssioiis, ssiez, ssent, and is conju¬ 
 gated like que je donnasse, verb 3; its first person can 
 always be obtained by changing the last letter of the 
 preterite of the indicative into sse. Ex. : donnai, don¬ 
 nasse, punis, punisse, etc. 
 
 The preceding remarks show that the first person 
 singular of the imperfect indicative, preterite, future, 
 conditional present, present and imperfect of the sub¬ 
 junctive mood being once known, the other persons 
 of the same tenses may most easily be obtained. 
 
 IRREGULARITIES. 
 
 In the verbs ending in eler, conjugated like ap¬ 
 peler, verb 73, the l is doubled before e mute, that 
 is to say, before e, es, ent, final, and in the whole 
 of the future and conditional present. In the verbs 
 ending in eter, conjugated like jeter, verb 75, the t 
 is doubled before e mute. In the verbs conjugated 
 like peler, verb 74, acheter , verb 76, espérer, verb 
 
 77, the e or c of the penultimate syllable becomes 
 c before e mute, that is to say, before c, es, ent, final, 
 and in the whole of the future and conditional pre¬ 
 sent. In the verbs ending in ger the g must preserve 
 its soft sound, for this reason, the e is not dropped 
 before a, o. Ex. : manger, verb 79, mangeant, man¬ 
 geons. Those verbs which end in yer, in the infinitive 
 mood, present tense, or in yant, in the present partici¬ 
 ple, change the y into i before e mute. Ex.: essayer, 
 verb 80, essaie, fuyant, que je fuie, ayant, aie. When 
 c soft occurs in a verb in the infinitive mood, it must 
 preserve the sound of s through the verb, and take, 
 therefore a cedilla before a, o, u. Ex.: avancer, verb 
 
 78, avançant, recevoir, reçu, reçois.

 s. m. (gram.) adjective. 
 
 [In French, the pronominal ad¬ 
 jective uniformly precedes the 
 noun, with the exception of quel¬ 
 conque : une raison quelconque, any 
 reason whatever, any one reason. 
 Aucun occasionally forms an ex¬ 
 ception, but then usually in the 
 sense of quelconque. See Aucun. 
 The numeral adjective generally 
 precedes its noun, except in cases 
 of quotation : le premier livre, 
 livre premier, book first. The 
 numeral adjective uniformly fol¬ 
 lows proper names : Charles douze, 
 Francois premier, Charles the 
 Twelfth, Francis the First. 
 
 Verbal adj formed from the 
 pres. part, generally follow the 
 noun : une personne séduisante, un 
 livre attachant, un esprit rampant ; 
 except riant, charmant: une riante 
 campagne, un charmard ouvrage. 
 Participial adjectives follow their 
 . noun : un objet aimé, un prince 
 redouté, un secours assuré 
 
 Adjectives which express gene¬ 
 ral qualities originating in the na¬ 
 ture of the things themselves ge¬ 
 nerally precede the nouns they 
 qualify, when the intention of the 
 speaker is to identify them with 
 the persons or things in question : 
 un bon homme, un méchant homme, 
 une grande maiso?i, une grosse 
 femme, une petite fille. Thus we 
 say honnête homme of one who 
 possesses all the solid qualities 
 constituting an estimable charac¬ 
 ter, and homme honnête (a civil 
 man) of him who seems anxious 
 to please by his politeness. Upon 
 the same principle we say un ga¬ 
 lant homme in much the same sense 
 as honnête homme, and homme ga¬ 
 lant pretty nearly as homme hon¬ 
 nête, with this exception, that the 
 civilities of the former are ad¬ 
 dressed to the fair. 
 
 In the language of passion the 
 adjective generally precedes the 
 noun : un aimable objet, un tendre 
 amour, de tendres regards, un ado¬ 
 rable objet ; un méchant homme, un 
 abominable homme. The case is 
 the same in the language of admi¬ 
 ration: un superbe jardin, un ma¬ 
 gnifique tableau. In the language 
 
 of pity: il est dans une extrême 
 misère. Il est dans une misère ex¬ 
 trême would merely intimate that 
 his distress is great, without infer¬ 
 ring any intention on the part of 
 the speaker to interest others in 
 that distress. 
 
 With adjectives which some¬ 
 times precede and sometimes fol¬ 
 low the noun, there must be some 
 analogy between the adjective 
 and the noun to admit of the for¬ 
 mer construction : thus we cannot 
 say un sagehomme, because homme 
 does not necessarily infer any idea 
 of sageness or wisdom ; though we 
 can say un sage magistrat, both 
 upon a principle of analogy and 
 harmony. Thus adjectives ex¬ 
 pressing a quality natural to the 
 noun or subject may be placed 
 before it : bon vin, bon pain, mau¬ 
 vais vin, grand arbre, petit arbre, 
 excellent fruit. Those again which 
 express an accidental quality, ge¬ 
 nerally follow the noun : pain bis 
 (brown bread), pain blanc, viande 
 dure, etc. If another adjective or 
 any additional circumstance ac¬ 
 company the first class of adjec¬ 
 tives, then both generally follow 
 the noun : une bette ville ; une ville 
 belle et grande ; du bon pain, du 
 pain bon et bien cuit ; un brave 
 soldat, un soldat brave et intrépide. 
 If, however, both adjectives are 
 equally in harmony with the idea 
 expressed by the noun, then both 
 may precede it ; thus we can say. 
 un brave et intrépide soldat; un 
 illustre et grave auteur ; though we 
 cannot say un illustre et classique 
 auteur, because classique bears no 
 necessary affinity, nor is it neces¬ 
 sarily in harmony with the noun, 
 in as much as it alludes rather to 
 a class than to an individual. 
 
 Such adjectives then as denote 
 the impression made on us by ex¬ 
 ternal objects never precede the 
 noun : dru pain blanc, d-u drap 
 rouge, du drap bleu, une surface 
 unie, raboteuse, dure, molle, etc. ; 
 un son aigre, une odeur forte, 
 douce, suave. We say figuratively: 
 une noire trahison, un noir attentat, 
 etc. but here the adjective does not 
 merely convey an idea of colour. 
 
 Such adjectives as express the 
 form of objects never precede the 
 noun : rond,, carré, octogone, con¬ 
 vexe, concave. Such adjectives as 
 perform the part of substantives 
 never precede the noun: palais 
 royal (d’un roi), pompe royale (d’ un 
 roi), tendresse paternelle (d’un 
 père), principe grammatical (de 
 grammaire) We say bonté divine, 
 or divine bonté, because the quali¬ 
 ty of goodness is in harmony with 
 the nature of the Divinity. 
 
 Adjectives expressing the poinj 
 of view in which we consider 
 things or persons, never precede 
 the noun: une chose nécessaire, 
 possible, impossible ; une idée abu¬ 
 sive, absurde ; un homme dange¬ 
 reux, une mala die mortelle. Mortel 
 is frequently put before the noun, 
 
 31 
 
ADM 
 
 ADM 
 
 ADO 
 
 bàr, bat, base, antique: thère, èbb, ovêr, jeûne, mêute, beurre, lién- 
 
 but generally in the sense of 
 tedious, wearisome : trois mor¬ 
 telles lieues. 
 
 Such adjectives as express the 
 state or situation of persons and 
 things, those also which refer to 
 habits, never precede the noun : 
 un homme tranquille, calme ; un 
 homme oisif, contemplatif; un 
 homme ivre ; une vie tranquille ; 
 un homme vif, indolent, colère, en¬ 
 têté, etc. ; du drap mince, du drap 
 épais ; un bois clair, un charbon 
 ardent. Such as express outward 
 or accidentai modification, also 
 follow the noun : un homme aveu¬ 
 gle, borgne, bossu, etc. ; du bois 
 tordu ; une bouteille étoilée ; un 
 bâton noueux,pointu. And in short, 
 such adjectives as merely distin¬ 
 guish objects by* genus, species, 
 sort: un animal raisonnable ; un 
 homme blanc, noir, olivâtre ; un 
 arbre fruitier, un arbre sauvage ; 
 une perdrix rouge, grise ; mode 
 française, anglaise, allemande ; 
 méthode latine ; accent gascon, nor¬ 
 mand, picard ; musique italienne ; 
 poème épique ; nom, substantif ; 
 nom adjectif ; pronom personnel ; 
 verbe actif.)

 [An presents an abstract, an ag¬ 
 gregate of the year; année offers 
 
 ! a succession of days, weeks, 
 
 ! months, or a series of events, of 
 1 effects : Van passé on craignait la 
 | guerre ; war was apprehended ; 
 ! when, at what period ( last year. 
 L’année passée, on a fait marchei 
 sans cesse des troupes de province 
 en province ; here we have a suc¬ 
 cession of evolutions, of move¬ 
 ments throughout the whole year. 
 We say : la premiere année, la se¬ 
 conde année, meaning a succession 
 of years as regards the effects pro¬ 
 duced within that series or suc¬ 
 cession of years, and Van quinzi¬ 
 ème, Van 1805, Van 1835, as epochs 
 or eras of time. We also say: cette 
 année, and not cet an, because the 
 year is not yet elapsed. For the 
 same reason we say l’année, and 
 not Van commence bien ; Vannée, 
 and not Van finit bien. Le premier 
 jour de Van is an expression sanc¬ 
 tioned by use, and the proof is 
 that we cannot say le dernier jour 
 de Van, but de Vannée. Il a quinze 
 ans presents the aggregate of his 
 age : il est dans sa quinzième an¬ 
 née presents a series of years of 
 which he has reached the fif¬ 
 teenth. F or this reason we say : 
 souhaiter la bonne année, to wish 
 a good new year. Bon jour, bon 
 an, must be considered as a popu¬ 
 lar locution. An presenting an 
 aggregate, or a point of time, can 
 never be accompanied by an epi¬ 
 thet ; thus we never say bon an, 
 mauvais an, bel an, but une bonne, 
 une mauvaise, une belle année, une 
 année pluvieuse, etc .]

 CE, Cet, Cette, pi. Ces, sd, set,

 fore nouns masculine sing, be¬ 
 ginning with a consonant or h 
 aspirate) : Ce livre, this or that 
 book ; (Cet is used before nouns 
 masc. sing, beginning with a 
 vowel or h mute :) Cet arbre, this 
 or that tree; (Cette is used before 
 nouns feminine singular,whether 
 they begin with a consonant or a 
 vowel, whether with an h aspi¬ 
 rate or mute) : Cette femme, this 
 or that woman ; (N.B. Cette, ex¬ 
 cept in low language, is never 
 pronounced s’te, but cette). Ces 
 is used before nouns plural, 
 either masc. or fern., with what¬ 
 ever letter they may begin) ; ces 
 femmes, these or those women; 
 (N.B. the above rules hold good 
 when an adjective is inserted 
 between the article and the sub¬ 
 stantive; then regard is paid to 
 the initial letter of the adjective.) 
 Cet étrange livre, that strange 
 book; ce bel homme, that fine 
 man. (To the substantive modi¬ 
 fied by ce, the partie Je ci is some¬ 
 times added to designate some¬ 
 thing near ; and the particle là, 
 to designate something distant ; 
 which answers to this and that, 
 these and those) : Ce livre-ci, this 
 book ; ce livre-là, that book ; ces 
 hommes-ci, these men ; ces fem- 
 mes-là, those women. (N.B. Ce, 
 in the above capacity, is called 
 by most grammarians a demon¬ 
 strative pronoun adjective ; but 
 as it bears all the characters of 
 the article, and some of the ad¬ 
 jective, the denomination of ar¬ 
 ticle has been preferred. The 
 demonstrative article ce, etc., can 
 modify substantives only orwords 
 taken substantively; sometimes 
 the modified substantive relates 
 to another substantive expressed 
 before, from which it must not 
 be too distant, lest some ambi¬ 
 guity should arise) : (Sometimes 
 the substantive which ce modi¬ 
 fies, is used by opposition): Je

 bàr, bàt, base, antique: thère, èbb, ovér, jeûne, mêute, bêurre, lién: 
 
 l’ai envoyée à votre ami, cette aim¬ 
 able et tendre lettre, that sweet and 
 charming letter, I have sent it to 
 your friend. (The above article 
 ce, may do for either the present, 
 past, or future time, and is ren¬ 
 dered in English accordingly, 
 the tense of the verb showing 
 how to render it): R y a cette 
 nuit, this night or to-night there 
 is. 
 
 1 . Ce [pronom démonst. indécl .] 
 he, she, it, they. (The final e of 
 ce is cut off before a vowel, and 
 supplied by an apostrophe, c\) 
 C’est un bon ami, he is a good 
 friend. (The verb être thus con¬ 
 strued with ce is always used in 
 the third person, and chiefly the 
 singular, though the following 
 noun or pronoun be plural ; 
 sometimes the third person plu¬ 
 ral is used, but of the simple 
 tenses only; and even the sin- j 
 guiar of the imperfect and con¬ 
 ditional is to be preferred when 
 eux or elles follows) : ce sont de 
 grands poètes, they are great 
 poets. (But when no substan¬ 
 tive follows the verb être, a pro¬ 
 noun personal must be used in¬ 
 stead of ce) : They are very elo¬ 
 quent, ils sont très-éloquents (not 
 ce sont) ; he is a physician, c’est 
 un médecin ; (or adjectively), il 
 est médecin. V. No. 5. 
 
 2. Ce, it, that. C'est fait, it is 
 done. Ce me semble, methinks. 
 C’est vrai cela, very true ! indeed. 
 Ce : C’est fait de moi, I am lost. 
 (Sometimes the relative en is 
 placed between ce and être) : 
 C’en est fait, ’lis past recovery. 
 C’en est resté là, there the affair 
 dropped. C’est bien fait à lui, 
 he is very right. Ce dit-on ; ce 
 dit-il (style marotique), it is said ; 
 said he. Et ce, and this. En ce, 
 in that. Outre ce, besides this. 
 Pour ce faire, in order to ac¬ 
 complish it. Lettres à ce con¬ 
 traires, (jur.) letters contrary to 
 this. 
 
 3. Ce, he, she, they, it, that. 
 Qui est-ce ? who is he ? Qui 
 était-ce ? who was it ? Est-ce 
 moi. ? is it I ? (With a substan¬ 
 tive, the plural of the present 
 and future may be used) : Sont-ce 
 les Anglais ? is it the English? 
 Seront-ce les Français ? will it be 
 the French ? (When a question 
 is made with ce, it must be an¬ 
 swered with ce likewise) : C’est 
 moi, it is I. C’est eux qui Vont 
 fait, it is they have done it. Sont- 
 ce là les dames que vous attendiez ? 
 (là is a mere expletive, inserted 
 only to facilitate pronunciation, 
 sont-ce alone would be too harsh), 
 are these the ladies you expect¬ 
 ed ? Oui, ce sont elles, yes, they 
 are. Est-ce un clocher l is it a | 
 steeple ? Oui, c’en est un, yes, it 
 is one. Sont-ce là vos chevaux I 
 are these your horses? Oui, ce 
 les sont , yes, they are. 
 
 4. Ce, that, which, what. (Ce 
 is never combined with the pro- 
 
 162 
 
 nou n lequel): A ce qu’ il me semble, 
 as I think. En vertu de ce que 
 dessus,(fur.) in virtue of what nas 
 been stipulated before or above. 
 N.B. F ormerly ce in ce qui was left 
 out; hence this locution still in 
 use: Qui pis est. F. Pis. Ce que 
 requires the preposition de before 
 an adjective. Ce que j'ai vu de 
 beau, the fine things I saw. 
 
 5. Ce qui or ce que serves for 
 two verbs, the latter of which, 
 when ce begins the sentence, is 
 governed by ce : now, if that lat¬ 
 ter verb is être, followed by que 
 or de, ce must be repeated before 
 it : Ce que je crains, c’est d’être 
 surpris, what I fear is to be sur¬ 
 prised. (The repetition of ce 
 may likewise take place, when 
 a substantive follows être): Ce 
 qu’il demande, c’est une pension, 
 what he asks for is a pension. 
 (But ce cannot be repeated, when 
 être is followed by an adjective) : 
 Ce qu’on vous a ait est vrai, what 
 you have been told is true. 
 Whereas we say : ce qu’on vous 
 a dit, ce soxit des contes, what you 
 have been told is a mere story. 
 (The reason of this difference is 
 obvious ; in the first sentence ce 
 is the subject, and vrai the attri¬ 
 bute; in the second, ce is the at¬ 
 tribute, and contes the subject.) 
 (For that very reason être, in 
 c’est, etc., may be plural, when 
 followed by a noun plural. V. No. 
 1.) (N.B. That repetition of ce 
 forms a gallicism, which gives 
 the language a peculiar degree 
 of energy. The meaning of the 
 above sentence is simply this : 
 je crains d'être surpris ; c’est une 
 pension qu’il demande ; ce sont 
 des contes que l’on vous a dits ; 
 and still more simply for the two 
 last : iZ demande une pension ; on 
 vous a dit des contes ; but they 
 would not be so energetically 
 expressed.) In such sentences 
 as the above, the tense of the 
 first verb regulates the tense of 
 c’est, as: Ce qu’il demandait, 
 c’était une pension. But, what is 
 worth observing, in interroga¬ 
 tions, c'est, followed by another 
 verb, remains in the present: 
 Qu’est-ce qu’il demandait ? qu’est 
 ce qu’il demandera ? and the an¬ 
 swer may be : C’est or c’était une 
 pension ; c’est or ce sera une pen¬ 
 sion. (Ce may sometimes be 
 separated from que): Qu’est-ce 
 donc, selon vous, qu'un ministre 
 patriote ? what do you understand 
 then by a patriotic minister? (In 
 interrogations, c’est is sometimes 
 redoubled ; but the first still re¬ 
 mains in the present because it 
 relates to the person actually 
 speaking) : Qu’est-ce que c’est ? 
 what is it? Qu’est-ce que c’était ? 
 what was it? Qu’est-ce que c’est 
 qu’il demande ? what does he ask 
 for? Qu’est-ce que c’était qu’il de¬ 
 mandait? what did he ask for? 
 
 6. C’est, in all its tenses, viz. 
 c’était, c’a été, ce sera, ce serait, 
 
 etc. separated irom, though still 
 followed by que, forms another 
 energetic gallicism, referring to 
 a person or thing not yet men¬ 
 tioned, but announced by setting 
 forth some of its qualities or pro¬ 
 perties : C’était un grand capi¬ 
 taine que César, Cæsar was a 
 great captain. (But when the 
 thing to be mentioned, and con¬ 
 ducted to by que, is expressed by 
 a verb in the infinitive, the pre¬ 
 position de is required before that 
 infinitive): C’est une sorte de 
 honte que d’être malheureux, it is 
 a kind of shame to be unfortu¬ 
 nate. (N.B. Que in this capacity 
 is by some grammarians called 
 conductive; it may sometimes 
 be dispensed with in poetry, but 
 ought never to be omitted in 
 prose.) To form the above galli¬ 
 cism,the relative qui is sometimes 
 used, performing the same office 
 as que, i. e. being likewise con¬ 
 ductive : Ce fut l'orgueil quiper- 
 dit les anges rebelles, il was pride 
 that ruined the rebellious angels. 
 (The relative after c’est governs 
 the next verb in the indicative, 
 whether the sentence be affir¬ 
 mative or negative) : C’est moi 
 qu’on veut perdre ; I am the man 
 they wish to ruin. (The subjunc¬ 
 tive, however, is not altogether 
 improper, when the sentence 
 implies something conditional, 
 doubtful or superlative): C’est 
 ici le principal but qu’on doive 
 se proposer, this is the principal 
 end that ought to be aimed at. 
 (In sentences like the following, 
 que, though apparently conduc¬ 
 tive, may be resolved by the re¬ 
 lative) : C’est à vous que je parle, 
 ’tis to you I speak. C’est de leur 
 état qu’il s’agit maintenant, ’tis 
 their condition that is now treat¬ 
 ed of C’est là que je les attends, 
 there I shall have them. (In such 
 sentences, que stands for à qui, 
 dont, où, etc. ; and the preposi¬ 
 tions which would have govern¬ 
 ed those relatives, are prefixed 
 to their respective antecedents.) 
 The verbs pouvoir and devoir, 
 in all their tenses, may likewise 
 be construed with ce, but still 
 immediately followed by the in¬ 
 finitive être : Ce doit être un tour¬ 
 ment affreux que le souvenir d’un 
 crime, the remembrance of a 
 crime must be a dreadful tor¬ 
 ment. Ce pouvait être lui, he 
 might be the man. 
 
 7. C’est generally requires an ar 
 tide before the next substantive, 
 proper names of persons and 
 places excepted : C’est un bon¬ 
 heur que d’avoir échappé, ’tis good 
 luck to have escaped. (But when 
 the substantive pointed out by 
 c’est expresses a sentiment or a 
 passion of the mind, no article is 
 required before it:) C’est folie 
 que de sacrifier, <ÿc., it is a folly 
 to sacrifice, &c. 
 
 8. C’est sometimes requires the 
 preposition à before a noun oi

 à lui d. jouer, it is his turn to 
 play. C'était à vous de parler, 
 you ought to have spoken. (Some¬ 
 times the verb comes before the 
 noun :) C'est à faire à vous, it is 
 your business. (Sometimes there 
 is no substantive expressed :) Si 
 c'était à refaire, si c'était à recom¬ 
 mencer, if it were to be done 
 again. (But with the relative 
 qui, the verb must be in the fu¬ 
 ture :) C'est à qui fera, c'est à qui 
 parlera, they do, they speak in 
 emulation one of another. C’était

 quelquefois à la tète de la phrase,) 
 not that. Ce n'est pas qu'il la 
 craigne, not that he fears her. 
 (When the sentence implies af¬ 
 firmation, the verb governed by 
 the conjunction must be preceded 
 by ne, according to this gramma¬ 
 tical axiom: two negatives are 
 equivalent to an affirmative :) Ce 
 n’est pas qu’il n'y ait parmi eux 
 des gens du plus grand mérite, 
 mais, etc. not that men of the 
 greatest merit are wanting among 
 them, but, etc. (Although the 
 governed verb be in the past, ce

 act of relating :) Ce n'est pas que 
 l’amour de Mortimer n'eût éclaté 
 quelquefois dans ses actions, not 
 that Mortimer had neglected to 
 show sometimes his love by his 
 actions. (But when ce n'est pas 
 falls upon the very fact men¬ 
 tioned, it must be in the past:)

 n'était pas qu’elle manquât de 
 tendresse pour lui, Cæcilia ob¬ 
 served to Julia thatitw T as not be¬ 
 cause she felt no tenderness for

 convainquent, fc. I would not 
 take the trouble to reprove those 
 errors, were they not fit to con¬ 
 vict, &c. 
 
 14. C’est-à-dire, conjonction ex¬ 
 plicative, (exprimée ordinaire¬ 
 ment en abrégé, c.-à-d.) that is to 
 say, that is,viz., i. e. (The same or¬ 
 der of construction must be used 
 after this conjunction, as has 
 been used before it, viz. articles, 
 prepositions, etc. must be repeat¬ 
 ed :) Il ne songeait qu'à bien vivre, 
 c’est-à-dire qu'à faire bonne chère, 
 his chief care was to live well, 
 that is, to make good cheer. 
 C’est-à-dire que, that is, that

 brice, c'est-à-dire qu'il t'aban¬ 
 donne le sang du peuple, fyc. 
 very well, replied Fabricius; he 
 leaves then the blood of the 
 commonalty to thee, &c. (What¬ 
 ever may be the tense of the 
 preceding verb, c'est-à-dire still 
 remains in the present ; in inter¬ 
 rogations, however, the condi¬ 
 tional may be used with ele¬ 
 gance:) Serait-ce à dire que ce 
 qui aurait duré, <fc. are we then to 
 suppose, that what has lasted, &c. 
 
 15. Ce n’est pas à dire que,

 (This pronoun, not being a mere 
 personal, cannot stand for a pro¬ 
 per name ; neither can it be used 
 absolutely, but must refer to a 
 common substantive expressed 
 before or after, from which it 
 should not be too distant; it must 
 besides (having of itself a vague 
 signification) be always imme¬ 
 diately followed by a regimen 
 like that of the substantive it re¬ 
 lates to, or by the relative qui 
 (who, that, which) beginning an 
 incident clause). Ses regards 
 n'étaient pas ceux d’un juge sé¬ 
 vère, his looks were not those of 
 a severe judge. (The substan¬ 
 tive to which celui relates, and 
 the substantive governed by 
 celui, must both be pointed out 
 by an article). Ayez de vos 
 affaires le soin que vous devez en 
 avoir, et laissez aux ministres ce¬ 
 lui de régler l’État, take proper 
 care of your own affairs, and 
 leave ministers to manage those 
 of the state. (Whereas celui could 
 not supply soin in this sentence : 
 ayez soin de vos affaires, le soin 
 
 should be used instead of it. 
 (Like the other pronouns, celui 
 is not allowed to be modified by 
 an adjective) : Le goût de la phi¬ 
 losophie n'était pas alors le goût 
 dominant (not celui dominant), a 
 taste for philosophy was not at 
 that time the prevailing taste. 
 Celui said of persons, may some¬ 
 times be used indefinitely, that 
 is with no relation at all to any 
 substantive.— Ceux qui ont vécu 
 avant nous, those who lived be¬ 
 fore us. Celui is sometimes left 
 out, as : qui répond paie, the bail 
 must pay. V. Qui. Celui-ci, 
 celle-ci; pl. ceux-ci, celles- 
 ci, pron. dem. this, these. Celui- 
 
 là, CELLE-LÀ ; pl. CEUX-LÀ, CEL¬ 
 LES-LÀ, pron. demon, that, those. 
 Celui-là n'est pas si beau, that is 
 not so fine. Celui-ci relates to 
 an object near the speaker; celui- 
 là, to an object distant from him : 
 or after two nouns already ex¬ 
 pressed, celui-ci refers to the last, 
 celui-là to the first mentioned. 
 (These pronouns, by virtue of the 
 particles ci and là annexed to 
 them, have a determined signi¬ 
 fication, consequently require no 
 regimen, and even refuse to be 
 immediately followed by qui: 
 celui-là, however, admits it, but 
 with some words between) : Ce¬ 
 lui-là est heureux qui ne désire 
 rien, he is happy who has no 
 desires. (Yet both celui-ci and 
 celui-là sometimes admit the re¬ 
 lative qui, when it begins an in¬ 
 cidental clause forming, as it 
 were, a parenthesis, or pointing 
 out contrast, distinction) : Celui- 
 ci, qui est déjà usé, vaut mieux 
 que celui-là qui est tout neuf, this, 
 though already worn, is better 
 than that which is quite new. 
 Celui-là in the familiar style, 
 is sometimes used for cela. Pour 
 celui-là, ils auraient tort, as for 
 that, they would be wrong.

 CHACUN, E,shâ-Aun, hùn,pron. 
 distributif, everyone, each. This 
 pronoun has no plural, and can¬ 
 not refer to a noun singular. (N. 
 B. Chacun, said of persons, may 
 be used either absolutely, or re¬ 
 latively; used absolutely, denotes 
 sometimes a collective, some¬ 
 times an individual or distribu¬ 
 tive sense; when collective, sig¬ 
 nifies every body, every one, aim 
 is always masculine; when dis¬ 
 tributive, signifies every one, 
 each, and takes the mark of gen¬ 
 der.) Absol. and collectiv. — en 
 parle, every body speaks of it. 
 Absol. and distribut. — pour soi, 
 every one for himself. — à son 
 tour, each in his turn. (Chacun, 
 said of things, is never used ab¬ 
 solutely. —, used relatively, is 
 said both of persons and things; 
 is always distributive ; takes the 
 mark of gender; signifies every 
 one, and mostly each ; requires 
 the preposition de before the 
 noun or pronoun which it is to 
 distribute ; but never, admits of 
 en for its antecedent) ; — de nous 
 fait, etc., every one of us does. 
 f en ai donné à — d’eux, (said 
 of persons, not of things), I gave 
 some to each of them. Voilà 
 trois cartes, je mets une guinée 
 sur — e (not d’elles, because eux 
 and elles cannot be said of things), 
 there are three cards, I stake 
 three guineas upon each of them. 
 (Chacun is sometimes used by ap 
 position, or rather there is an 
 ellipsis of the preposition de and 
 its regimen) : Ces canifs coûtent 
 un schelling —, these penknives 
 cost a shilling each or apiece ; 
 (which has the same import as : 
 Chacun de ces canifs coûte un 
 schelling ; but chacun coûte, etc., 
 cannot be said) : Qu’on s’en re¬ 
 tourne — chez soi, let every one 
 return to his own house. (Chacun 
 used by apposition, sometimes 
 meets with a noun pointed out 
 by a possessive. Now, when 
 chacun relates to either the sub¬ 
 ject or term of the sentence, the 
 possessive must be of the same 
 person as that subject or term): 
 Ils auront — leur part, each of 
 them will have his share. (But 
 when chacun relates to the object 
 of the sentence, if that object be 
 of the first or second person, the 
 possessive must agree with it ; if 
 of the third, and said of things, 
 the possessive must be of the 
 third person singular; but if it 
 be said of persons, and the sub¬ 
 ject of the sentence be itself of 
 the third person singular, leur 
 may be used, to avoid ambiguity; 
 or another turn must be given to 
 the expression) : Dieu nous ré¬ 
 compensera, — selon nos œuvres, 
 God will reward each of us ac¬ 
 cording to his works. Dieu les 
 récompensera — selon leurs œitr

 Ils ont tous apporté des offrandes , 
 — selon ses moyens et sa dévotion 
 (here chacun is said of persons, 
 and is, as it were, the subject of 
 another sentence, viz. Chacun le 
 fait , etc.) they have all brought 
 offerings, each of them according 
 to his ability and devotion. (With 
 verbs absolute or neuter, that is, 
 having no objective regimen, son, 
 sa, ses or leur, leurs, may be used 
 indifferently) : Tous les juges ont 
 opiné, — selon leurs ou ses lu¬ 
 mières, every judge spoke accord¬ 
 ing to his judgment. (In this sen¬ 
 tence however, leur would be 
 rather improper.) un Chacun 
 ne se dit plus. — jour, chacun an,

 [Collectif. Collective nouns are 
 divided into general collectives

 ral collectives express an entire

 tive collectives are such as ex¬ 
 press a part or portion of a col¬ 
 lection: plupart, partie, nombre. 
 L'armée fut défaite, and not fu¬ 
 rent, etc. Une partie des infidèles 
 y furent tués, and not y fut tuée. 
 In the first example the verb and 
 participle agree w T ith the gene¬ 
 ral collective armée, and not 
 with the expression des infidèles. 
 In the second, the verb and par¬ 
 ticiple agree in number with the 
 expression des infidèles, and not 
 with the partitive collective par¬ 
 tie. The reason assigned is that 
 the word armée presents an idea 
 independent of the accessory ex¬ 
 pression des infidèles. L’armée 
 fut défaite; whereas une partie 
 requires the accessory expression 
 des infidèles, thereby constituting 
 one word.]

 COMPARATI-F, VE, kon-pâ-rà-

 [Comparatif : wherever there 
 is a comparison of excess or defi¬ 
 ciency, the verb constituting the 
 term of comparison is generally 
 preceded by ne : il est plus vertueux 
 que vous ne croyez. We say gene¬ 
 rally, let it be observed, for the 
 verb sometimes follows the pro¬ 
 noun without the particle ne: on 
 ne peut être plus occupé que nous 
 le sommes tous deux de vous. In 
 the former example there is an 
 idea of opposition or negation, if 
 not in the subordinate proposition 
 itself, at least in the mind of the 
 speaker, and that idea is tanta¬ 
 mount to : vous ne croyez pas qu’il 
 soit vertueux. In the latter ex¬ 
 ample the negation or opposition 
 constitutes no part of the subordi- : 
 nate proposition, which is tanta- ; 
 mount to : nous sommes occupés de 
 vous, les autres pas autant. It must 
 not, however, be supposed that 
 because the first proposition is 
 negative, the second ought to be 
 positive. The negative may exist 
 syntactically in the first, and syl- 
 leptically or by substitution in the 
 second : Les Spartiates ne sont pas 
 plus étonnés de se voir mourir, 
 qu’ils ne l’avaient été de se trouver 
 en vie, the Spartans are not asto¬ 
 nished at finding themselves on 
 the point of death; why should 
 they? they were never astonished 
 to find themselves alive. The ne¬ 
 gative of the second proposition 
 is a syllepsis, or conception of the 
 sense of the words otherwise than 
 the words import. The ne disap¬ 
 pears in all cases where the verb 
 is accompanied by a conjunction : 
 il est plus vertueux que lorsque vous 
 l’avez connu.]

 [Comparer à, comparer avec: 
 
 comparer à supposes an analogy 
 or affinity between the objects of 
 comparison ; comparer avec sup¬ 
 poses that the objects compared 
 have no affinity whatever. Com¬ 
 parer Virgile à Homère, to com¬ 
 pare Virgil to Homer, supposes 
 the two poets to be alike, and that 
 investigation will prove the re¬ 
 semblance. Comparer Virgile avec 
 Homère, to compare Virgil with 
 Homer, supposes the merit, etc. 
 of the poets to be different, and 
 that investigation will prove the 
 difference. Comparons les œuvres 
 de la nature aux ouvrages de 
 l’homme, œuvres and ouvrages bear 
 a sufficient relation of resemblance 
 to warrant the use of à. Que l’on 
 compare la docilité du chien avec 
 la férocité du tigre ; docilité is 
 sufficiently opposed to férocité to 
 require the preposition avec. Vous 
 osez vous comparer à moi! and 
 not avec moi! that is, dare you 
 suppose we have any thing in 
 common to justify a comparison 
 between us?]

 [Composé, compound, a gram¬ 
 matical term. In words com¬ 
 pounded of two nouns ; there is 
 generally an ellipsis: Hôtel-Dieu, 
 fête-Dieu, evidently mean hôtel 
 de Dieu, etc., and in that case the 
 sign of the plural belongs to the 
 first, hôtels-Dieu, fêtes-Dieu, etc. 
 When the ellipsis consists of a 
 suppression both of the preposi¬ 
 tion and noun, the compound 
 noun always remains singular, as 
 the plural belongs to the noun 
 suppressed or understood : des 
 reine-claude, that is des prunes de 
 la reine Claude. The case is the 
 same with the noun, tête-à-tête, 
 des tête-à-tête, that is, conversa¬ 
 tions, interviews held tête-à-tête. 
 We say des petits-maîtres, both 
 adjective and noun in the plural, 
 because the sense is complete. 
 But we say des blanc-bec, des 
 rouge-gorge, both adjective and 
 noun in the singular, because we 
 mean neither white bills, nor red 
 breasts, but des jeunes gens and 
 des oiseaux so called. We say des 
 chefs-lieux, both with the plural 
 mark, because chef was formerly 
 used as an adjective. In nouns 
 compounded of a verb and noun, 
 the real noun is frequently under¬ 
 stood, thus we say des abat-jour, 
 that is des fenêtres ; des boutefeu, 
 that is, des hommes; des coupe- 
 gorge, that is, lieux où Von coupe 
 ta gorge. The real noun is fre¬ 
 quently expressed and the sense 
 complete, in which case the noun 
 may take the sign of the plural, 
 if, in analysing the compound 
 word, it really represents a plural. 
 Thus we say des chasse-mouches, 
 that is qui chasse les mouches ; 
 though we cannot say des abat- 
 jours, in consequence of the el¬ 
 lipsis above mentioned, and be¬ 
 cause it is an instrument qui abat 
 le jour, and not les jours. In the 
 above class of nouns the verb re¬ 
 mains invariable of course. If 
 compounded of a preposition or 
 an adverb with a noun, there is 
 no ellipsis, and the noun alone 
 takes the mark of the plural 
 des contre-coups, etc. Compound

 quires the subj.: croyez-vous qu’elle 
 soit aimable ; by the subj. we inti¬ 
 mate not only that we ourselves 
 entertain doubts, but that the per¬ 
 son whom we address may also 
 have his reasons for doubting. If 
 with the interrogation we use the 
 indicative, we ask no information, 
 we merely intend conveying an 
 idea of reproach : croyez-vous qu'il 
 a de l'esprit, which is tantamount 
 
 to: do you really believe him 
 witty after all the nonsense you 
 have heard him utter ? Croyez- 
 vous qu’il reviendra ? are you kind 
 enough to think he will come 
 back ? Croyez-vous qu’il revienne, 
 do you believe, suppose, he will 
 return ? When the action is con¬ 
 fined to the subject, croire governs 
 the infinitive: je crois pouvoir vous 
 assurer que, I think I can make 
 you sure that \je crois devoir vous 
 prévenir que ; je croyais, je crus, 
 j'ai cru devoir vous prévenir que, 
 ï think it my duty, I thought it 
 my duty, I think I am bound, I 
 thought I was bound to inform 
 you that. Je crois gagner mon

 dont, though the latter is certainly 
 preferable : un arbre dont le fruit 
 est excellent, is preferable to un 
 arbre duquel le fruit est excellent. 
 If the antecedent is followed by 
 a prepos., duquel or desquels must 
 be used : l'homme à la réputation 
 duquel vous voulez nuire, and not 
 à la réputation dont. Dont cannot 
 be governed by a preposition; 
 thus we cannot say : la ville dont 
 je suis près, but la ville près de 
 laquelle je suis. In speaking of a 
 place which xve leave, d’où, and 
 not dont, must be used : la maison 
 d'où je sors ; la maison dont il 
 sort, should signify the family 
 from which he descends. We 
 cannot say : c’est à vous à qui je 
 parle, because there would be two 
 indirect regimens to the same 
 verb, we must say: c’est à vous 
 que je parle. Upon the same 
 principle, we must say: c'est de 
 vous que je parle, and not dont je 
 parle.]

 [En. The pronoun en presents 
 a peculiar difficulty to the English, 
 and consequently requires some 
 elucidation. Its primitive use 
 seems to have originated in the am¬ 
 biguous character of the French 
 possessive pronoun son, sa, ses, 
 and its principal difficulty consists 
 in distinguishing the occasions on 
 which it is to be employed in pre¬ 
 ference to the pronoun which it 
 seems in some measure to have 
 superseded. En is applied to 
 things; son, sa, ses, leur, etc., to 
 persons. In speaking of persons, 
 son, sa, ses may be used through¬ 
 out; in speaking of things, son, sa, 
 ses may be used in the first clause, 
 but en is necessary in the second. 
 Cet ouvrage a son mérite, chacun 
 en apprécie la valeur ; ces ouvrages 
 ont leur mérite, chacun en apprécie 
 la valeur. L’auteur est connu, et on 
 estime son caractère ; les auteurs 
 sont comius, et on estime leur ca¬ 
 ractère. In other words, speaking 
 of things, the noun modified by 
 son, sa, ses, leur, must refer to the 
 subject of the proposition. Hence 
 we say: chaque travail a sa fatigue; 
 fatigue refers to travail which is 
 the subject of the proposition. Le 
 soin qu’on apporte au travail em¬ 
 pêche de sentir sa fatigue, would 
 be improper, fatigue refers not to 
 soin, subject of the proposition, 
 but to travail. We must therefore 
 say : empêche d’en sentir la fatigue. 
 Le temps fuit, la perte en est irré¬ 
 parable, not sa perle, for perte is no 
 part of the first proposition. Cette 
 rivière est belle, le lit en est prof ond, 
 and not son lit, for the reason 
 above mentioned. Many writers, 
 however, violate the rule when 
 by so doing they can give greater 
 force and precision to their lan¬ 
 
 guage. La patience est amère, 
 mais son fruit est doux. Si les 
 grands ont le poli du marbre, ils 
 ont aussi sa dureté. Nay the pos¬ 
 sessive pron. son, sa, ses, is some¬ 
 times preferable to en, even in a 
 case of perspicuity: ceux qui ont 
 cru anéantir le christianisme en 
 allumant des bûchers, ont méconnu 
 son esprit ; here the rule is set at 
 nought, but the sense is evident 
 at once ; son refers to christian¬ 
 isme. Combien ceux qui ont cru 
 anéantir le christianisme, en allu¬ 
 mant des bûchers, en ont méconnu 
 l’esprit, here the rule is observed, 
 but there we are, grammatically 
 speaking, at a loss to know whe¬ 
 ther the author means the spirit 
 of faggots, or the spirit of Chris¬ 
 tianity. The rule must neverthe¬ 
 less be observed.]

 [Espérer governs the future 
 when the phrase is affirmative; 
 the subjunctive when it is nega¬ 
 tive : j’espère que vous le ferez. 
 Espérer, used interrogatively, go¬ 
 verns the future or the subj. in¬ 
 differently : espérez-vous que je le 
 fasse or que je le ferai ? Espérait- 
 il que je vinsse or que je viendrais 
 lui demander pardon ? J’espère 
 le voir ; j’espère de le voir, both 
 may be said, but with this differ¬ 
 ence, that the preposition always 
 implies doubt or uncertainty. 
 Hence in the phrase : j’espère bien 
 le revoir, the adverb bien excludes 
 all uncertainty, and consequently 
 renders the prep, inadmissible. In 
 the following phrases, on the con¬ 
 trary, the prep, is necessary : peut- 
 on espérer de vous revoir ? Je crois 
 pouvoir espérer de le revoir. On 
 m’a fait espérer de le revoir ; the 
 two infinitives evidently denot¬ 
 ing uncertainty.]

 GENS, zân, s. m. pi. da mot gent, 
 people, men, folks, hands. [N. B. 
 Gens is masculine when it comes 
 before its adjective, and femi¬ 
 nine when the adjective comes 
 first; and although the adjective 
 coming before that noun is femi¬ 
 nine, yet if there follows another 
 adjective, or a participle, or a 
 pronoun personal, this last must 
 be masculine. The word tout 
 coming before gens is put in the 
 masculine, when it is attended 
 by no other adjective, or the ad¬ 
 jective coming before it is of the 
 common gender, but when the 
 adjective coming before gens is 
 feminine, the word tout agrees 
 with it also.] Des — fins, de 
 fines —, cunning folks. T'ous les 
 — de bien, ali honest people. 
 Toutes les vieilles —, all old 
 people. Les petites —, the lower 
 sort of people. — sans aveu, 
 vagabonds. — de mer, the ma¬ 
 riners. Les — du roi, the king’s 
 council. Se connaître en —, to 
 know mankind. Tous nos —, all 
 our people. —, servants, attend¬ 
 ants, men, people, domestics. 
 
 [Gens: neither the rules nor 
 examples above given thoroughly 
 explain the construction of gens, 
 a few additional instances and 
 observations may not be deemed 
 superfluous. Formés par l'expé¬ 
 rience, les vieilles gens sont pru¬ 
 dents, schooled by experience, old 
 people are prudent. Vieilles is 
 fern., because it immediately pre¬ 
 cedes gens, prudents is masc. be¬ 
 cause it follows gens, formés is 
 also masculine because in its na¬ 
 tural order the phrase should run 
 thus : sont prudents, parce qu'ils 
 sont formés par Vexpérience. We 
 say bonnes et vieilles gens because 
 
 bonnes is connected with vieilles 
 by a conjunction, and both adjec¬ 
 tives have a feminine termination. 
 We say bons et honnêtes gens, be¬ 
 cause honnête being an adjective 
 of the common gender prevents 
 bon from taking the feminine ter¬ 
 mination bonnes. Ces petites gens- 
 là sont tous insupportables, petites 
 precedes gens, and is fem. ; tous 
 follows it and is masc. Les ques¬ 
 tionneurs les plus impitoyables 
 sont les gens vains et désœuvrés, 
 vains et désœuvrés follow gens and 
 are therefore masc. Though gens 
 be essentially feminine, yet the 
 following compound nouns are 
 masculine. Gens de lettre, gens 
 d’affaire, gens de robe, gens de 
 cœur, gens de bien, gens de guerre, 
 as also jeunes gens : devrais gens 
 de lettre, de bons gens d’affaire, 
 certains jeunes gens. Tous les 
 gens sensés, tous les honnêtes gens, 
 tous is masc. in the first phrase 
 because it is alone, in the second 
 because honnête is an adject, of 
 the common gender. Toutes les 
 bonnes gens, toutes les meilleures 
 gens,toutes is fem. in both cases be¬ 
 cause bonnes et meilleures are fem. 
 Certaines honnêtes gens, certaines 
 vieilles gens, honnêtes and vieilles 
 account for the gender of certain. 
 Quels braves gens! quels masc. 
 because braves is of the common 
 gender. Quelles sottes gens, quelles 
 fem. because sottes is fern.]

 [Hériter governs the preposition

 -erre, d'une bibliothèque. But as i 
 410 
 
 the verb is active, it has been 
 asked whether we can say hériter 
 une maison, hériter une terre. La- 
 veaux is of opinion that we can 
 when the verb is followed by two 
 regimens: il a hérité cette terre de 
 son père. Be that as it may, the 
 Academy seems studiously to have 
 avoided putting a direct regimen 
 after the verb; the following ex¬ 
 amples, however, sufficiently 
 prove that the verb is active : il 
 n'a rien hérité dé son père ; c'est 
 une maladie qu'il a héritée de sa 
 mère ; la vertu est le seul bien qu’il 
 ait hérité de son père.]

 [II is generally repeated before 
 every verb in the sentence : com¬

 votre père ? Il vous aime, il vous 
 élève, il vous nourrit, il pourvoit à 
 tous vos besoins. Here every verb 
 expresses a new action, and con¬ 
 sequently a new motive to grati¬ 
 tude. In the following phrase il 
 is suppressed : il était honteux de 
 sa crainte, et n'avait pas le courage 
 de la surmonter ; and this because 
 the two sentiments of shame and 
 fear are simultaneous, thereby 
 constituting but one mingled feel¬ 
 ing. Il est, il y a, two impersonal 
 locutions. The first denotes some¬ 
 thing of a general, the second 
 something of a peculiar nature : 
 il est des dangers auxquels l'hom¬

 per ; il y a des dangers dans cette 
 affaire auxquels vous ne pourrez 
 échapper. Il est is, however, more 
 frequently used than il y a, by 
 the poets and orators. Il y a, in 
 an active sense, governs à: il y a 
 plaisir à rendre service ; in a pas¬

 IMPÉRATI-F, VE, in-pa-ra-tif,

 rative take no final s: va, go; 
 donne, give; except vas-y, go 
 thither: portes-y, carry-thither; 
 portes-en, carry some ; donnes-en, 
 give some, etc. ; but it is not so 
 with en, préposition: porte en mon 
 sein, bring in my bosom. The 
 verbs terminating with i may in¬ 
 differently take a final s or no: 
 béni or bénis, bless ; fai or fais, 
 do ; voi or vois, see ; as likewise, 
 vien or viens, come ; tien or tiens, 
 hold ; crain or crains, fear; fein 
 or feins, feign ; and other verbs 
 ending with ain or ein. The 
 more general use, however, is to 
 write such verbs with a final s 
 (a letter appropriated in French 
 to the 2d person sing.), the omis¬ 
 sion of it being reserved to the 
 poets, in order to help them in 
 their rhymes. The other verbs 
 always take a final s: prends, 
 take; mets, put; sers, serve; sors, 
 go out ; pars, set out ; dors, sleep; 
 meurs, die ; cours, run ; bats, beat, 
 etc., etc. In imperative senten¬ 
 ces affirmative the pronouns, ob¬ 
 jects or terms, always come after 
 the verb which governs them, 
 but are still incorporated with it, 
 and must be joined to it by a hy¬ 
 phen; va-t-en, get you gone; 
 suivez-moi, follow me ; prenons- 
 le, let us take it; donnez-nous, 
 give us; dites-lui, tell him 
 
 laissez-moi faire, let me do ; fais- 
 toi friser, get your hair drest. 
 But if the pronouns are govern¬ 
 ed by another verb in the infini¬ 
 tive, no hyphen should be used, 
 and we say ; va t'amuser, go and 
 amuse yourself; venez me parler, 
 come and speak to me; allez 
 vous habiller, go and dress your¬ 
 self, etc., etc.)

 when employed substantively, is 
 always used in its infinitive : Lire 
 est une occupation utile, reading 
 444 
 
 is a useful occupation. In which 
 case the present in French, 
 either simple or compound, per¬ 
 forms the same office as the 
 gerund in English, and of course 
 may be construed with any pre¬ 
 position: era, however, must be 
 excepted, because it always re¬ 
 quires the gerund. Sometimes 
 the infinitive, used with no pre¬ 
 position or preceded by à, begins 
 a sentence in the same manner 
 as the ablative case absolute of 
 the Latin: À tout prendre, il en 
 arrive à peu près, comme au jeu, 
 upon the whole, it is nearly the 
 same as in play. Faire périr le 
 roi ou le rétablir, il n’y avait pour 
 elle qu'un de ces deux partis à 
 prendre, to put the king to death 
 or to reinstate him, she had only 
 one of these two measures to 
 take. But such infinitives, with 
 no preposition, are chiefly used 
 in exclamation or interrogation : 
 Tirer un homme de sa patrie, et 
 puis l’abandonner dans cette île 
 déserte pendant son sommeil ! to 
 take a man out of his native 
 country, and abandon him after¬ 
 wards in this desert island when 
 he is asleep ! Sometimes the 
 infinitive stands for the subject 
 of a sentence, as in the first ex¬ 
 ample; lire, etc., in which case 
 it is mostly answered by c’esl, 
 even when preceded by de: 
 Souffrir sur le trône un usurpa¬ 
 teur si monstrueux, c'était désho¬ 
 norer la nation, to suffer so infa¬ 
 mous a usurper to fill the throne, 
 was a disgrace to the nation. V. 
 Ce. De vous dire s’il y a plus de 
 fous à lier dans un pays que 
 dans Vautre, c’est ce que mes 
 faibles lumières ne me permettent 
 pas, whether there are more mad 
 people in one country than the 
 other, I cannot tell, my notions 
 on that head are too imperfect. 
 Sometimes, in the comical style, 
 the infinitive preceded by de 
 is employed without being go¬ 
 verned at all; in which case it 
 may be resolved by a tense of 
 the indicative corresponding to 
 that of the preceding verb. Gre¬ 
 nouilles aussitôt de sauter dans les 
 ondes, c'est-à-dire, les grenouil¬ 
 les sautent, the frogs immediate¬ 
 ly jump into the water. R y

 N E, né, adv. no, not. Je — veux 
 pas, I will not, I won’t. Je n’en 
 veux plus, I will have no more 
 of it. Je — Vaime ni — le crains, 
 I neither love nor fear him. 
 
 [Pas and point follow or pre¬ 
 cede the verb in the infinitive : 
 pour ne point souffrir, pour ne 
 souffrir pas: the former is the 
 more usual. Point is a stronger 
 negative than pas; the first is 
 
 absolute^The second may be mere¬ 
 ly restrictive : il n’a pas d'esprit ce 
 qu'il en faudrait pour, etc., he has 
 not the wit necessary to. 11 n'a 
 point d'esprit, he has no wit; the 
 sense is complete. For this rea¬ 
 son, pas is preferable to point 
 before plus, moins, si, autant, and 
 other comparative terms; as also 
 before nouns of number. Pas 
 implies something transitory, ac¬ 
 cidental; point expresses some¬ 
 thing permanent and habitual : il 
 ne lit pas, he is not read ing ; il ne lit 
 point, he reads nothing, he does 
 not read. Point supplies the place 
 of non : je le croyais mon ami, 
 mais point ; with pas, the phrase 
 w’ould be: mais il ne l'est pas. 
 Both are used in questioning, 
 where point implies doubt, buttas 
 certainty or reproach. Both may 
 be suppressed in such questions 
 as the following : y a t-il un homme 
 dont elle ne médise ? avez-vous un 
 ami qui ne soit des miens? With 
 prendre garde, in the sense of 
 beware, both are suppressed : 
 prenez garde qu'on ne vous sé¬ 
 duise ; in the sense of take notice, 
 either may be used : prenez garde 
 que l'auteur ne dit pas ce que vous 
 pensez. Pas and point are omitted 
 when the negative is made suffi¬ 
 ciently clear by other restrictive 
 terms. Je ne soupe guère, je ne 
 soupe jamais ; je ne dis mot. 
 Should que or dont continue such 
 phrases the omission is still ob¬ 
 served : je ne soupe guère, je ne 
 soupe jamais que je ne m'en trouve 
 incommodé. With autre que, they 
 are often omitted : je n'ai d'autre 
 but, d'autre devoir que, etc. ; they 
 are constantly omitted when 
 autre is understood: je n'ai de 
 volonté que la tienne. Pas and 
 point are suppressed after que in 
 the sense of pourquoi: que n' êtes- 
 vous arrivé plus tot ; also when que 
 expresses a desire : que ne m'est-il 
 permis !... O that I had it in my 
 pow'er !

 [Qta, subject of an incidental 
 hrase, refers to persons or things : 
 homme qui veut vivre en paix ; la 
 maison qui m'appartient ; les hom¬ 
 mes qui craignent Dieu; lequel, 
 laquelle, lesquels, lesquelles is never 
 used in such a case. À qui, refers 
 to persons, or things personified : 
 l'homme à qui j'ai parlé; la vertu 
 à qui je rends hommage. When 
 not personified, things require not 
 qui, but lequel : la chose à laquelle 
 vous devez surtout faire attention ; 
 c'est le point sur lequel il faut 
 réfléchir. Dont is preferable to de 
 qui whether in the case of per¬ 
 sons or things: l'homme dont (not 
 de qui ) vous parlez ; la réputation 
 dont (not de laquelle) vous jouissez. 
 Qui takes the number of the pro- 
 noun which immediately precedes 
 it: moi qui at parlé; toi qui as 
 parlé ; vous qui avez parlé, etc. Si 
 c'était moi qui eusse ; si. c'était vous 
 qui eussiez ; c'est moi qui le pre¬ 
 mier ai montré; c'est vous qui le 
 premier avez montré. Qui must 
 never be separated from the noun 
 to which it refers; thus we must 
 say: cet homme qui ne cherche qu'à 
 tromper, a grand, tort, and not : cet 
 homme a grand tort qui, etc... 
 The interposition of an adjective, 
 or a preposition, is no violation of 
 the rule : l'homme intrépide qui 
 marche à l'ennemi ; les amis de mon 
 père qui nous suivaient. Qui 
 agrees in number with the noun 
 by which it is immediately pre¬ 
 ceded : vous êtes, grande reine, un 
 génie tutélaire qui est venu (not 
 qui êtes venue) consolider la paix. 
 Vous parlez en homme qui entend 
 (not qui entendez ) la matière. Vous

 [Rien is connected with its ad¬ 
 jective by de : il n'y a rien de si 
 beau, de si laid, etc., etc. — Servir 
 de rien ; servir à rien. The first 
 is said of a person or thing which, 
 though it ought to serve many 
 purposes, serves none; the second;, 
 of a person or thing which ought 
 to serve a particular purpose and 
 does not. Ce domestique ne me 
 sert plus de rien, that servant is 
 no longer of any use to me ; un 
 cheval ne me servirait de rien, a 
 horse would be of no service, no 
 use to me (both horse and servant 
 should serve many purposes). Foiis 
 ne montez jamais votre montre, elle 
 ne vous sert à rien, you never 
 wind up your watch, it is of no 
 use to you (a watch can serve but 
 one purpose, that of showing the 
 hour). Vous êtes aveugle, des lu¬ 
 nettes ne vous serviraient à rien, 
 you are blind, glasses would be 
 of no use to you (glasses which 
 serve for the purpose of sight, are 
 of course useless to a blind man).]

 qu'il parte, may be an answer to 
 il part, and signify: I do not think 
 he starts, or it may be an answer 
 to il partira, and signify: I do not 
 think he will start. Je ne croyais 
 pas qu'il partît, may be an answer 
 to il est parti, or il partira, the im¬ 
 perfect tense being thus alterna¬ 
 tively a past or a future, lia fallu 
 que j'aie consulté, I must have con¬ 
 sulted ; je n' entreprendrai tien que 
 je n'aie consulté, I will undertake 
 nothing till I have (shall have) 
 consulted ; again a past and a fu¬ 
 ture. The government of each 
 verb being carefully noted all 
 along, it w ; ould be superfluous to 
 state here what particular verbs ! 
 require the subjunctive. But as ; 
 many of them govern the indica¬ 
 tive affirmatively, and the sub¬ 
 junctive interrogatively, it may 
 not be unnecessary to state under 
 what circumstances the interro¬ 
 gation requires the subjunctive. 
 Interrogative propositions require 
 the subj., when the question in¬ 
 volves any thing vague, doubtful, 
 uncertain or that is considered as 
 such by the speaker: croyez-vous I 
 qu’il veuille y consentir ? Pensez- 
 vous que ce soit lui ? When no 
 such doubt exists, when the truth 
 of the proposition is indisputable, 
 and the interrogation a mere form 
 of speech, the indie, is used : 
 croyez-vous que deux et deux font 
 quatre ? which is equivalent to: ' 
 744 
 
 vous croyez, sans doute, que deux 
 et deux font quatre ? Croyez-vous 
 que Dieu a créé le ciel et la terre ! 
 equivalent to: vous croyez, sans 
 doute, que Dieu a créé le ciel et la 
 terre ? Were the same question to 
 be asked with a shade of doubt, 
 and in order to have that doubt 
 cleared up, the subj. would be 
 used : croyez-vous que Dieu ait créé 
 le ciel et la terrel The negation, 
 as it frequently implies doubt, 
 also requires the subj.: je ne 
 savais pas que vous eussiez étudié 
 les mathématiques. Affirmation it¬ 
 self does not always exclude un¬ 
 certainty, in which case affirma¬ 
 tion also requires the subj.: je 
 cherche un homme qui veuille m'o¬ 
 bliger, qui veuille me prêter de l'ar¬ 
 gent, that is a man, any man who 
 may be willing to oblige me, etc.

 [/ Superlatif . There are two

 superlative absolute expressed by 
 le plus, le plus is invariable: cette 
 scène est une de celles qui furent le 
 plus applaudies. La lune n'est 
 pas aussi éloignée de la terre que 
 le soleil, lors meme qu'elle en est le 
 plus éloignée ; in both phrases the 
 degree is at its highest, though 
 without reference or relation to 
 any thing but the subject of the 
 phrases. Whether we are to say : 
 les opinions les plus or le plus gé¬ 
 néralement suivies, les mieux or le 
 mieux établies : les sentiments les 
 plus or le plus approuvés ; les opé¬ 
 rations les plus or le plus sagement 
 combinées must depend altogether 
 on the peculiar meaning we at¬ 
 tach to the phrase. Thus in speak¬ 
 ing of a woman in a case when 
 she can only be compared to her¬ 
 self le plus is invariable: c’est 
 quand son mari gronde qu'elle est 
 le plus tranquille, it is when her 
 husband storms, that she is at her 
 coolest ; c'est dans le tèle-à-tête 
 qu'elle est le plus amiable ; when 
 there is a reference to other wo¬ 
 men le plus is variable : dans 
 une fête, dans un spectacle, elle est 
 toujours la plus belle.]

 [Tomber : mon enfant est tombé, 
 implies that the child is stretched 
 on the ground ; mon enfant a tombé, 
 intimates that he fell, but is now 
 on his legs again. With être, 
 therefore, tomber implies situation ; 
 with avoir, action. This distinc¬ 
 tion is but little observed. There 
 are cases, however, when être 
 cannot be employed with any de¬ 
 gree of accuracy. When a thing 
 has one name before it falls, and 
 another after it has fallen, situa¬ 
 tion or stale is out of the question : 
 la pluie tombe, la pluie a tombé. In 
 speaking of a period not yet 
 elapsed être may be used : la pluie 
 est tombée ce matin à verse ; though 
 it would be ridiculous to say : la 
 pluie est tombée à verse, il y a six 
 jours. The same observation is 
 applicable to foudre and tonnerre: 
 l'année derniere le tonnerre a tombé 
 sur plusieurs édifices ; le tonnerre 
 est tombé ce matin, or a tombé ce 
 malin dans la Seine. Tomber par 
 terre, is said of the person or thing 
 that touches the ground ; tomber à 
 terre, of the person or thing that 
 falls from any elevation above 
 the ground. The first may be 
 said of a man walking in the 
 street ; the second of a slater fall¬ 
 ing from the roof of a house: un 
 arbre tombe par terre ; le fruit de 
 l'arbre tombe à terre.]
