words, as box, or formed from the Greek, as En-
terocele from Eyrepov and x, they ought to be pro-
nounced like apostrophe, hyperbole, &c. The reason
why Diastyle and Osteocope are not pronounced so
as to make the final e form a distinct syllable is, that
they are not perfectly Greek words but formed from
da and ones, and Tev and xor, where we find the
Greek termination altered.

IDYL, 'dil, s.

As there is sometimes an erroneous pronunciation of this ward by making the short, as in the first syllable of idiot, I have thought it necessary here to quote the authorities for pronouncing it long, as in idle; namely, Mr. Sheridan, Mr. Scott, Mr. Perry, Buchanan, and Entick: Dr. Ash, Barclay, and Fen ning, do not distinguish it by the position of the accent from the i in idiot; and Dr. Kenrick, as is usual with him when any thing difficult occurs, does not mark it, or divide it into syllables. But the authorities I have produced are sufficient to vindicate the long sound of , without recurring to the diphthong in ioy, as the Greek and Latin quantity are very uncertain and fallacious guides to the quantity of English words.-See Principles, Nos. 544, 545, &c.

INTESTINAL, în-tés'té-nâl, a.

It may be observed that Dr. Johnson spells this word with an e in the second syllable, while both its Latin and French derivation from larcin require, as Mason has shown from Blackstone, that it ought to be written larciny.

METEOROSCOPE, mè-te'ur-d-skope, s. An instrument for taking the magnitude and distances.-Mason.

This word, though formed from the Greek, has, like Telescope, anglicised its termination, and therefore ought not to have the final e sounded in a distinct syl. labie, as Mason's example from Albumazar has pro

MONOSTROPHIC, môn-ó-strófik,a. Writ

This word is sometimes pronounced with the accent on the third syllable, because the i in intestinum is long; but Dr. Johnson more properly makes it a formative of our own, from intestine, and even if we were to allow this adjective to be derived imme-nounced it. diately from the Latin substantive of the same number of syllables, we may see in Principles, No. 503, h, how many exceptions there are to this rule, and how probable it is that this word is oue. INTOLERANCE, în-tôl'êr-ânce, s. of toleration.

Upon a more mature recollection of the analogies of the language, I am still more convinced of the justness of the decision on the accentuation of this word. A critick, with whom I lately conversed upon it contended, that the accent ought to be upon the a, because it was on that letter in the preterperfect tense of the verb opto, optavi. I desired him to put his argument into form, and tell me, whether all words of this termination were to have the same accent as in the preterperfect tense of the verb. Here he could go no farther: I could have immediately confronted him with tentative, from tento, tentavi; with negative, from nego, negavi; with vocative, from voco, vocavi; and twenty other examples, which would have shown the weakness of his reason; and yet this gentleman is a real scholar, and a man of good sense and great acuteness. See Principles, No. 503, on the Influence of the Greek and Latin accent on that of the English;

No. 544, on the influence of the Greek and Latin Quan

tity on that of the English; and No. 512, on the Termi. nations ative and atory.

OSTEOCOPE, ás-te'd-cope, s.

By a great oversight, this word was omitted in the Dictionary, and, by a still greater oversight, is introduced under the word Diastyle, with an s in the last syllable. This letter is the more faulty, as, without seeming to be an errour, it entirely alters the meaning of the word.

At line 51 of this article, after the full stop at the word long, read, except the vowel be u.-See Principles, Nos. 507, 508, 509. To which we may add, that though poets often bend the rhyme to their verse, when they cannot bring their verse to the rhyme; yet, where custom is equivocal, they certainly are of some weight. In this view we may look upon Pope's cou plet in his Essay on Criticism;

"Leave daug'rous truths to unsuccessful satires; "And flattery to fulsome dedicators."

SCIOMACHY, si-ốma-kẻ, 8.

Dr. Johnson's folio accents this word properly on the second syllable, (see Principles, No. 518, but the quarto on the first. SUBTILE, sûb'til, a. 140. Thin, fine, piercing, acute.

SUBTLE, sút'tl, a. 405. Sly, artful, cunning.

These words have been used almost indiscrimi nately to express these different senses, as may be seen in Johnson; but as custom has adopted a different sumed it has not been without reason. That the first sense spelling and a different pronunciation, it is to be preshould extend itself to the latter is not to be wondered at, as words have a tendency to fall into a bad sense; witness knave, villain, &c.; but if custom has marked this difference of sense by a difference of spelling and pronunciation, it should seem to be an effort of Nature to preserve precision in our ideas. If these observaAs I have frequently met with this word in writions are just, the abstracts of these words ought to be ters on prosody, I have made use of it in the Princi- kept as distinct as their concretes; from subtile ought ples, No. 499; but not having met with it in any Dic. to be formed subtilty, and from subtle, subtlety; the tionary, I forgot to insert it, though Barytone has not bein gheard in the twofirst, and mute in the two last. escaped me. It will be necessary, therefore, to tell the T. inspector, that Oxytone comes from the Greek word Borovos, and signifies having an acute accent on the last syllable.

TUMULOSE, tå-mů-lòse', a.

There is a class of words in this termination which are variously accented by our lexicographers, bnt which. from their derivation and form, ought certainly to be pronounced alike. This will evidently appear from the following sketch.

Calculose. Cal'culose. Calculose.

The variety of accentuation which this sketch exhibits "sufficiently shows how uncertain are our Dictionaries where usage is obscure. From the decided prevalence of the accent on the last syllable of these words, we may easily guess at the analogy of pronunciation, and, with very little hesitation, determine that the accent ought to be placed on the last syllable of the all
