Bound with : A key to the classical pronunciation of Greek, Latin, and scripture proper names; in which the words are accented and divided into syllables, exactly as they ought ot be pronounced, according to rules drawn from analogy and the best usage. To which are added, terminational vocabularies of Hebrew, Greek, & Latin proper names, in which the words are arranged according to their final syllables, adn classed according to their accents, by which the general analogy of pronunciation may be seen at one view, and the accentuation of each word more easily remembered.
