denote the Sound that we exprefs by oo, the French 
by on, the Italians by //, &c. and the Figure 3 was 
to denote our ee, and their /, in like manner, the 
combin'd Chandler, or Diphthong 13, would be 
founded alike by all Readers of any Nation, who 
fhould previoufly be agreed upon fuch a common 
Character. 
And allowing Mr. Lodwick’s Notion, that there 
are 3 Vowels in other Languages, which ours has 
nor, there will remain the Figures 8, 9, o, to ex- 
prefs them by or any other Characters may be 
pitch’d upon. What I aim at is to fhew, that, 
through an over Purfuit of Accuracy, he has mul- 
tiplied his Vowels, without any apparent Neceflity.- 
And the Cafe is the fame with refpedt to his Con- 
fonants, which he thus ranges into 11 Files, and 6 
Ranks.
