97. H. sw5in'-s8n-i. To Wm, Swainson, Esq., the celebrated English naturalist. Notice 

 that tills word, like others containing tlie letter w, cannot be Latinized without change ; 

 the nearest Latin would be sua-ln'-sOni, in four syllables. See also lawrencii, next but 

 one below ; this sliould be laHren'-cU or lat'-ren'-cU. But it is futile, finical, and pedantic 

 to undertake sucli transliterations in tlie cases of modern proper names.
