to give the regular sound a pedantick stiffness. Mr. Sheridan, Mr. Scott and Buchanan, how-This word is frequently pronounced so as to ever, have adopted this sound, in which they have been followed by Mr. Smith; but Mr. Elphinstone, Dr. Lowth, Dr. Kenrick, Mr. Perry, and Barclay, are for the irregular sound; W. Johnston gives both, but places the irregular first and the Grammar called Bickerstaff's, recommended by Steele, adopts the sound, and gives this rule:

To sound like double (e) (i) does incline; "As in Machine and Shire, and Magazine: # Like (a) in Sirrah; but writ (oi) in Join.”

Sheridan, Dr. Kenrick, Mr. Perry, and Mr.
Smith, nor do I find the other sound in any of
our Dictionaries that have the word.
