Excerpt from A New Pronouncing and Explanatory Vocabulary, Upon an Improved Plan: Part 1. Contains a Choice Selection of Words Used by the Best English Authors, Alphabetically Arranged, From Monosyllables to the Longest Words; Part II. Consists of an Extensive Collection of Words Pronounced Exactly Alike The Scripture Proper Names are taken from a masterly performance by Mr. Walker, entitled A Key to the classical pronunciation of Greek, Latin, and Scripture Pioper Names. This long catalogue of names is not given for an exercise in spelling, but merely for the sake of pronunciation as in all well. Regulated schools the Bible is used, more or less, as a class-book. It would, however, be no unprofitable exercise, for teachers to make their advanced classes occasionally read these Names word by word in rotation, for the better infixing in their memory the true pronunciation. This department has been much ne gleeted, for we frequently hear the Scripture Proper Names improperly accented or otherwise mispronounced, even sometimes from the pulpit.
