Of the accent of the first of these words, there can be no dispute; but the last is the first anglicised, and therefore admits of some diver sity. Mr. Sheridan, Dr. Kenrick, Dr. Ash Entick, Barclay, Bailey, and the first editions of Dr. Johnson, accent the last of these words on the antepenultimate, but the quarto edition of Johnson on the penultimate; I suspect, how ever, if we were strictly to follow our own ana logy, that we ought to place the accent on the first syllable; for as this termination is not en clitical, 13, it seems to be under the same predicament as Academy, Irreparable, &c. which

This word is sometimes heard with the double g hard, as in dogger; but every one who has a scrap of Latin knows, that exaggerate comes from exaggero, and that all words from that language have the g soft before e and i; the third syllable, therefore, must have the e soft. Bat it will be said, that, according to the laws of pronunciation, the first g ought to be hard as the first c is in flaccid, siccity, &c. To which it may be answered, that, strictly speaking, it ought to be so; but polite usage has so fixed the first as well as the last g in the soft sound, that one but a confirmed pedant would have the boldness to pronounce them differently. is usage too we find is not without all foundaod in analogy. Wherever there is a consideable difficulty in keeping sounds separate, ey will infallibly run into each other," This observable in the sound of s, which, when mal, always adopts the sound of z when a flat sonant precedes, 434; the first s likewise in termination session, mission, &c. necessarily as into the sound of sh like lasts: but it inay said, that the first g in exaggerate has no such lation to the second as s has to sh, and that very difference between the two consonants tes as preserve the first ein flaccid and suc

its hard sound of k, which is perfectly inct from the other sound of c, which is thing more than s. To this it can only be hed by way of mitigation, that hard g and gor are formed nearer together in the auth than hard cork and soft c or s; and erefore as they are more liable to coalesce, ir coalescence is more excusable.
