KEY TO PRONUNCIATION 



The pronunciation of titles is indicated by accenting the word 

 or by respelling it phonetically in italics. In the phonetic spelling, 

 letters are used to indicate the sounds which they most commonly 

 represent. 



A vowel is short when followed by a consonant in the same 

 syllable, unless the syllable ends in silent e. It is also short when 

 alone in an unaccented syllable. 



A vowel is long when accented and standing alone or in a 

 syllable which ends in silent e, or when ending an accented syllable. 



S is always soft, and never has the sound of z. 



The hard sound of c is represented by k. 



The foreign sounds which have no equivalent in the English 

 language are represented as follows: 



K for the German ch, as in Bach: (BACH, baK). 



N for the French n, as in Breton: (BRETON, bre toN'). 



o for the German 6, as in Gottingen : (GoTTINGEN , go ' ting en) . 



u for the German u, as in Bliicher: (BLUCHER, bluK'ur).
