Then know thyself, the human mind survey; The use, the pleasure, will the toil repay. 12. Nor study only, practice what you know;

Your life, your knowledge, to mankind you owe.
With Plato's olive wreath the bays entwine;
Those who in study, should in practice shine.
Say, does the learned lord of Hagley's shade,
Charm man so much by mossy fountains laid,
As when arous'd he stems corruption's course,
And shakes the senate with a Tully's force?
When freedom gasp'd beneath a Cesar's feet,
Then publick virtue might to shades retreat:
But where she breathes, the least may useful be,
And freedom, Britain, still belongs to thee.
13. Though man's ungrateful, or though fortune frown;
Is the reward of worth a song, or crown?
Nor yet unrecompens❜d are virtue's pains;
Good Allen lives, and bounteous Brunswick reigns.
On each condition disappointments wait,
Enter the hut, and force the guarded gate.
Nor dare repine though early friendship bleed;
From love, the world, and all its cares, he's freed.
But know, adversity's the child of God:

Whom Heaven approves of most, must feel her rod.
When smooth old Ocean, and each storm's asleep,
Then ignorance may plough the watery deep:
But when the demons of the tempest rave,
Skill must conduct the vessel through the wave.
14. Sidney, what good man envies not thy blow?
Who would not wish Anytus* for a foe?
Intrepid virtue triumphs over fate:
The good can never be unfortunate;
And be this maxim graven in thy mind;
The height of virtue is, to serve mankind.
But when old age has silver'd o'er thy head,
When memory fails, and all thy vigour's fled,
Then mayst thou seek the stillness of retreat,
Then hear aloof the human tempest beat;
Then will I greet thee to my woodland cave,
Allay the pangs of age, and smooth thy grave.

N has the sound of ng when it ends an accented syllable and is followed by k, q, c or g hard, and likewise when followed by k in the same syllable; thus, anger, can'ker, thank, are pronounced ang ger, kang ker, thangk, &c.

Xhas the sound of ks, except when followed by an accented syllable beginning with a vowel or with h, in which it has the sound of gz; (unless otherwise defined;) thus, exact is pronounced egzact.

C has its hard sound like k at the end of syllables and words, and before a, o, u, h, l, r, and t; and its soft sound like 8 before e, i, and y; unless otherwise defined.

Ch, when immediately preceded by l or n in the same syllable, has the sound of sh; unless otherwise defined.

Gh has the sound off, unless otherwise defined.

Re at the end of words, has the short sound of år; thus, fibre is pronounc⚫ ed fl/bår, &c.

When e terminates a syllable, where the preceding vowel sound in the same syllable is long, it is printed in a Roman character, as in "låte, shire, there;" in other terminations it is printed in Italick, as in "judge, carve, loose, love," &c. When e ends a syllable, immediately preceded by e org, the c has its soft sound like s, and g its soft sound like j; as in notice, arrange, pronounced notis, arranje, &c.

In the following Vocabulary, the letters have their natural sound, unless otherwise defined; le, ck, bb, dd, ee, oo, ll, ff, ss, &c. are all printed in Roman characters, although one letter would be sufficient to express the

sound.

Such words as are irregular, and not easily pronounced by their customary letters, are written the second time with such letters asgiye the right sound; or their pronunciation defined in some other way.

In order to give a correct pronunciation to the words, they are divided as they are pronounced in the New-York stereotype edition of Walker's Dictionary.*Mr. Walker, in speaking of the division of words into syllables, observes, that " Dr. Lowth's rule is certainly to be followed," which is, "The best and easiest rule, for dividing the syllables in spelling, is, to divide them as they are naturally divided in a right pronunciation, without regard to the derivation of words, or the possible combination of consonants, at the beginning of a syllable."

*Some words, where the letters have vicarious sounds, are differently di vided; as precious, am-bi'tion, pronounced prêsh'us, am-bish'un, &c. this being the most natural, and customary division.

Containing a list of all the words made use of in the English Reader; divided, accented, defined, and the part of speech annexed; Alphabetically arranged, and adapted to the Orthog raphy and Pronunciation of Walke

When a word begins with a vowel, if the syllable end with a consonant, the vowel has its short sound; but if it end with a vowel, it has its long sound. When the pronunciation varies from this rule, a figure is placed before the vowel, which represents the same sound, as if placed above it; as in 'All, Art, pronounced all, art.
