RULES 
FOR THE 
_ PRONUNCIATION OF THE LINNZAN NAMES. 
. ue English reader is desired to observe, that the 
accent, or the force of the voice, is to be thrown 
upon that syllable or letter which precedes the 
mark, Thus in Arbutus, the Ar is to be the 
accented or strongly sounded syllable, and not the 
bu, as is commonly, though erroneously, the case ; 
and in Veroni'ca, the Ni is to be the accented syl- 
lable, and not the Ro, which is also a common 
error. 7 
‘2, That the letter e at the end of a name is always to be 
sounded ; thus, the word Elat'ine, is to be pro- 
nounced E-laé'-ti-ne, with four syllables, and not 
E-la-tine. . 
3. That in words ending in ides, thei is always to be — 
pronounced long. ria 2%
