ORCHESTRE, or'kés-tůr, s. 416. The place where the musicians are set at a publick show.

This word is accented on the first syllable by Dr. Johnson, Mr. Sheridan, Dr. Ash, Mr. Scott, Mr. Nares, Buchanan, Entick, Perry, and Barclay; and by Mr. Bailey and W. Jolinston on the second; and by Dr. Kenrick on either. The first mode has not only the majority of votes in its favour, but is agreeable to the general analogy of words of three syllables, which, when not of our own formation, commonly adopt the antepenultimate accent. The exception tu this rule will be found under the next word,

ORCHESTRA, or-kés'trá, s. 503. A part of the theatre appropriated to the musicians.

Dr. Johnson has preferred the French orches. tre to the Latin orchestra and the Greek gfx norga; but as we find the latter spelling and pronunciation universally adopted, and as we take almost every other term of art rather from the Greek than any other language, I have ventured to insert it in that dress, after Chambers, and some other very respectable authors.

This word is accented on the first syllable by Dr. Ash, Mr. Scott, Mr. Perry, Entick, and Barclay: but Mr. Nares says it is accented on the second, as I have given it. For, notwithstanding the numbers against

me, the very general rule is on my side; which is,

that when we adopt a word whole from the Latin or
Greek, it ought to have the same accent as in those
languages.-See Principles, No. 503.
