Oct. 1858.— Mar. 1859.] In Roman Characters. 235 



Remarks and Explanation. 



I deem it unnecessary to enter into argu- 

 ment to show how impossible it is to represent the 

 Vowels of the Oriental Alphabets in the Roman 

 character, if the English standard of pronunciation 

 be adopted I will merely state that the force 

 possessed by the Italian vowels is to be given the 

 " Roman equivalent" in Col. 7. 



I prefer ai to ei, as, first, less ^ likely to be 

 mispronounced, and 2ndly, because it represents 

 more nearly the nature of the vowel.
