(ORTHOGRAPHY.)

F THE SOUNDS OF THE LETTERS.

st chapter of Part I, the powers of the letters, or the elementary The English language, were duly enumerated and explained; for ell as the letters themselves, are few, and may be fully stated in but, since we often express the same sound in many different also, in some instances, give to the same letter several different , it may be, no sound at all, -any adequate account of the powers -s considered severally according to usage, that is, of the sound f each letter, with its mute positions, as these occur in practice, was thought, descend to a minuteness of detail not desirable in pter of Orthography. For this reason, the following particulars eserved to be given here as an Appendix, pertaining to the First English Grammar.

proper diphthong, generally has the sound of open or long a; as vain. In a final unaccented syllable, it sometimes preserves the fa, as in chilblain, mortmain; but oftener takes the sound of i; as in certain, curtain, mountain, villain: in said, saith, again, that of close e; and in the name Britain, that of close u. proper diphthong, occurs in the word gaol; now frequently is pronounced, jail; and in the adjective extraordinary, and its in which, according to Walker, the a is silent.
