PRONUNCIATION OF FOREIGN NAMES. 



Names of fruits, strictly. French, can be pronounced correctly by 

 those only who speak that language. But a considerable number 

 are becoming rapidly Anglicised, or passing to a sound between 

 French and English, and still differing materially from the spell- 

 ing, like the common words chevaux de frize, depot, apropos, belles 

 lettres, &c. A short vocabulary of these, and chiefly such as do not 

 well admit of English translation, may be of use to those who have no 

 knowledge of foreign pronunciation.

Belle de Vitry, bell-d'-ve-tree.
