482 Retrospective Criticism. 



wards, he finds himself in an awkward predicament, as he cannot pro- 

 nounce it properly, without appearing to contradict a person who may be 

 persuaded that he is in the right, from having so often heard it so pro- 

 nounced by those who he thinks ought to know. The names of plants 

 which I have observed gardeners almost always pronounce wrong, are the 

 following: — E'rica, instead of Erica; Anemone, instead of Anemone, the 

 Latin name I mean, as, Anemone alpina; for common custom may have 

 sanctioned this method of pronouncing the English name, as Alpine Ane- 

 mone, in the same manner as it has done the word O'rator, although the same 

 word in Latin is always pronounced Orator ; also, Oxalis*, instead of O'xalis; 

 CEnothera f, instead of Oenothera; and Clematis, instead of Clematis. 

 Your plan of accenting the names will, I hope, be the means of teaching 

 country gardeners and others a better pronunciation of them : but, as 

 there is no part of the work of a printer so liable to typographical errors 

 as the placing of accents, very great attention is required in correcting the 

 press; the necessity of which will appear from the following list of errata, 

 in the Second Volume, and the First and Second Numbers of the Third 

 Volume, of the Gardener's Magazine. I am, Sir, &c. — N. T.

* The second syllable of this is made long in Ainsworth's Dictionary, so 

 is the third syllable of Antirrhinum there made short, but they are both 

 errors of the press : for the second syllable of Oxalis is short in Labbe's 

 Catholici Indices ; and the first syllable in rhinon, the Greek word whence 

 it is derived, is always long in Homer. [Neither of these errors is to be 

 found in the later editions of Ainsworth's Dictionary.] 



f This is composed of two Greek words, in the latter of which, them, 

 the e is long. 



J Words followed by this mark, it will be observed, are accented differ- 

 ently in the letter following : the former is according to Donn's Hordes
