INTRODUCTION.

IN representing the oriental sounds in English letters, the system of Sir William Jones has been employed, slightly modified. The vowels must, then, be pronounced as follows: viz., a as in arise; â as in far; i as in wit; as in police; u as in bush`; ú as in rule; e as in they; ai as in the Italian mai; o as in so; au as in the Italian paura. The consonants must receive their usual English sounds, except that, as regards th and ph, the compounds must be sounded as in the words "pothook" and

“ 'haphazard,” not as in "this" or "thin" and "philology."

THIS impression differs from the first by numerous alterations and additions; but they are such as, it is believed, the Author would have approved.
