The variety of accentuation which this sketch
exhibits, sufficiently shows how uncertain are
our Dictionaries where usage is obscure. From
the decided prevalence of the accent on the
last syllable of these words, we may easily
guess at the analogy of pronunciation, and,
with very little hesitation, determine that the
accent ought to be placed on the last syllable
of them all.
