Worthy Gentlemen^ 

T cannot be objeiSiiedi but mufl: be 
acknowledged and confcfled, that 
ye are very inftrumental in the good 
Effects of a pious Education % for 
your concurring Endeavours^ with 
divine Grace, prevent a greater Corruption of the 
prefent Age, (hotwithftanding its apparent GrofT* 
nefs^ by which Means the fucceeding Generations 
fhall be more refined. Ye are the firft and heavy 
burthened Labourers in cfearing off the Rubbilh of 
Nature, and cultivating her Soil for the Reception 
of the minifterial Seed. Nay, to you is committed 
the Setting out, and Diredion of Youth, in their 




Erudition by the Natural Parent A Trufl: of 
high Concern and Importance, which appoints or 
fubftitutcs you the'Artificial Parents. 

' Awrf fbrther, to the Honour, Reputation, and 
Endearment of every worthy Teacher to Mankind 
in generat— will only recite this one recorded 
ihemdri^bte Saying of that renowned and illuftrious 
Hero Alexander tlie Great, who, under the mofl: 
refined Notions and Refleftions, and in the moft 
cacalted Degree of hi$ Reafon, openly declared^ that 
his Judgment was entirely unable to difccrn the 
true State of his own propounded Queftion ; viz. 

Of the Two— to whom he was moft obliged 

whether to Philip King of Macedonia^ his Father 
that bfgftt him, or to J^ftotk his Tutor, in his 
Education. However, fuch a Spirit of Acknow- 
ledgment, by To great and eminent a Perfon, ought 
hot to be buried in Oblivion ; but chearfully ac- 
cepted, with fiich due Reverence and Veneration as 
ftall diftingttUh ev«ry truly noble, ]i)gcnious, and 
heroic Son of Gr9ai Britakt. 

But to return from this Digreflion in confider-

CQtreat you, worthy Gentlemen, to receive my Off-

as JhiWs it to he the mojl eafy Language under the Copes of 
Heaven j and therefore too vainly attempted to complete^ by 
purfuing its Nature and Gerius through the Regions of the 
Principles of fitdj Languages^ as are ahjfolutely fifiy times more 
d'jictdt than the modern Rritifh Tongue ; viz. the Latin and 
i rench, iSiC. between which, I beg Leave to premife a few 
convincive Injlances^ in order to fupport the JJfertion. And 
Firft, It tniijl he ohfa-ved^ what Diffiadty jubjijls between 
Noun Suhfifmtives of the Latin, i^c. and the modem Britifh 
Common hams: Ifere indeed we f nd the Latin Noms fub^ 
je&ed to five Declmftcns, with a more than ordinary Regard 
for Gendeo', by either Cufcm or Terminatimt, &c. dfthe No*- 
mttative, more than by natural Signification ; with a great 
Number of Exceptions to the general Rules for the Manage-^ 
ment of each ; all which Difficulty is baUanced by certain fmall 
Particlesy put in j/pfofition to the modern Britifli Common 
Name ; as is flyewn in Page 56, which anfivers all the Pur-- 
pofes of their five Declcnfions ; and Application of the fame 
Kind of Words termed Prepofitions in the Latin, bfc from 
whence it is plain^ that the declined Languages are abfolutely 
more than ten-fold difficult in that Part of Speech.

by praSfifing the Latin, rather than the Principles and Acci-

whereas the Latin is a dead Language, and circumfcribfd with 
numerous artificial Accidents, which Men, and many different

to fo high a Degree, yet it coiild not be brought to fo eafy a Pro-^

appeareth, that any Language of principal IVords, being attended

certainly is the plainefl^ and mofl eafily attained in the fhortefi

uncapaUe of learning Grammar by SentoTues on the Accidents. 
This is contrary to all others^ who have Jiepped into Practice 
before mey on tins Subjeit ; therefore I conclude^ that a Child 
muft inevitably gain the fubftantial Notiony with the Practice 
of gaining the Stock of different IVordsy or Parts of Speechy 
out of the various Tables in the Vocabulary y fuited to every 
Capacity ; and as that increajesy the Accidents proceed on the 
Left and Right-ljand MarginSy which will add further Plea-- 
furoy on their Application i as hath been convinced by Touth 
under my Tuitiony of a very tender Age^ ( However y excuje

Accefs to the perfect Knowledge and Attainment of her ; 
which improves and enables all thofe that obtain her properly^ 
to undertake^ endure^ and purfucy the more difficult Languages 
in Literature. 

The Manner of ujing this Book in Schools^ whether in

I make no Doubt ' but there are fime^ who are weak enough 
to objeSi againfl the^ Pricity imd SizCy of the Booky conceiving 
it too high in both Sef^Oi : To fiuh it nught be anfwered^ that 
if their Interefl had not been mofi con^dered^ their Conveni^ 
ency may be very eafily fuited^ kith for Expence and Volume 5 
for the whole Bulk of Grammatical ^u^ions and Anjwersy 
would not fwell to three Sheets ; to which a very Jhort Voca* 
bulary would produce a much fmaller Volume, But a Youth's 
true and entire Inter eft fubftjls in the full Scope of the Lan^ 
guage^ which cannot be fuppofed to be wanting in this Vo- 
lume ; fo neither could it be comprifed in a Ufs Number of 
Sheets^ without great Detriment to the Britifli Youth in ge^ 
neralj conjidering it would very much abridge the propofed 
Intention^ and continue a Bar to Perfe£!ion^ which ought to 
be removed. 

And further J confidering when and wherefoever one Hun"

4 The Royal Vnmerfal 

Q. Why is the Language exprefled in fo many different 
Choral ersf 

A. In order to give Energy to the Expreffions, and 
enable the Reader to point out the Subje^ Matter of what 



He^ to die underfianding the Propriety of an Expre^n. 

Q. Is there no other ferm given to diefe CharaSfers than 
Alphabet ? 

A. Yes 5 the Alphabet under each CharaSfer is divided 



Q. TTOW many of thofe Letters in the Alphabet are 
jn termed Vowels? 

A. Five ; viz. a^ ej ty o^ u y but the Letter y is put 
for, or inftead of the Letter /, at the End of a Word | 
as, byy my^ &c. 

Q. Why arc thefe five Letters called Vowels ? 

A. Thefe five Letter Sy either by themfelves or their 
DefcendantSy being conjoined with the other Divifion of 
Letters termed ConfonantSy form all the Sounds or Syllables 
that the Organs of the Mouth are capable of expreffing j 
and flierefore they are the Life and very Soul of Voice f 

How, or in what Manner is each of thefe Vowels to 
be founded ? 

A. Each of thefe Vowel-Letters admit at leaft a two- 
fold Sound J one termed a Jhort Sound, and the other- ia 
long: Asy Man, Mane\ met, mete; bit, bite; pop, popo ; 
tuby cube : And Cuftom has fo far prevailed on the Lan^ 
guage^ to enforce fome to perform the Office of others, as 
will appear very plain to the meaneft Capacity in the fol- 
lowing Work. 

Q. How may any Perfon underftand when to pronounce 
fljorty or when long ? 

A. The moft General Sign of a Jhort Syllable is, when 
it ends with one or more Confonants ; and for a long Vowel^ 
>vhcji tlic Syllable terminates with a Jingle Vowel^ or when 

it 



he reads ; and by a nice Obfervation ii 





CHAP II. 
Of the Vowels. 



iBritifh Gramntiur and Vocdbulary^ ^ 

it is followed by gh^ gnh gn, or i fnaly which is not 
a Vowel iYitn\ but only the Sign of pronouncing the fore^ 
going Vowel long -y as appears above, and will be fully 
ihown in the following Work. 

Alfo the Vowel i is particularly lengthened by ghj ght^ 
^9 ^ ^d ndi SLS nighy nighty clinAy defign^ ndldy 
mindy &c. 

Q. Is there no other Sign of a Jhort and long Syllable ? 

A. Yes J one other Sign for a Jhorty and another for a ^ 
long Syllable^ (and indeed fometimes contradict the former 
Signs) which are thefe j a Br^^ marked thus ( " ) as gtve^ 
ttvty and now it denotes the Vowel i to be ihort, not- 
withftanding the e final is at the End : And the Circumflex 
mark'd thus ( ) over a Vowely denotes that Vowel to be 
long ; as, GhS/l, Hijly &c. notwithftanding they end with 
two Confbnants. Alfo thefe Marks are often fixed over 
one of the Vowels of a Diphthongs which defign the Man" 
neroi founding that VoweU over which either of them may 
happen to be fixed, as will appear in the following Work, 
lUKler the Title of Common NameSy containing Diphthongs. 

Q. You mention the Defcendants of the Vowelsy what 
mean you by that Term ? 

A. i have no Authority for the Term Defcendants of 
Vowelsy for when I fay Defcendants I mean the ancient 
Term Diphthongs ; but every Diphthong iscompofed of fome 
two of the five Vowelsj making but one Sound in one and 
the fame Syllable; and therefore are as Members^ or 
Branches of the Life and Soul of Voice j^ind may not im- 
properly be termed Defcendants of the Vowels.

Qi Thefe Diphthongs appearing to create much Difftculty 
in the Britijh Language^ I delire to know how I may moflt 
readily obtam a juft Notion of their Sounds ? 

A. By the following Method^ which requires a feconfl 
marJhaHing of them with a Word or two following them, 
which exhibit their Sounds \ tho' I intend not to fay much 
under this Head of Grammar concerning Pronunciation and 
Orthography^ but refer that to be iilfcrted as Occafion fliall 
offer through all the Parts of Speech ; thofe two Terms 
being extraordinary Aecidents in tKe Language, and acci^ 
dentally blended through the whole Speech by Cujlom. I 
-intend to teach the Learner thofe Accide>tts by Obfervation, 
before he fliall be able to read the Band of Orthographical 
JtuUn zjiid Obfervations generally propofed in this JJuder^ 
iaiking, which indeed generally blunt the Spirits of too

A. Cujlom has prevailed, and eftabliflied it a Law 16

Word a more agreeable Afpe6i\ for you muft never ter-

con&quently happen. , ' 

Q. Do thefe fix proper Diphthongs always remaki ^ 
fiand entire proper Diphthongs ? 

A. They do not always preferve their ancient Purity^ 
but are fubjedt to the Tyranny of Cuflom-, (he having, re- 
iftrained them in many Words from both partaking in 
'Sound, laying fometimes the Strefs more oii the one Vovjil 
than on die other, and fometimes takes away from both thi 
gjjential and natural Sound, enforcing them to the Office of 
ane or two other V^^ls-t which indeed require an Intrb- 
duftory Exhibition here, and the Reft I fhall refer tb

T T 7 H A T is a Confmant ? 

VV A. A Confonani is ^ Letter that the Brltljh 
Language does not permit to make, compofe, or ftand for 
a Syllable \. biri: muft abfoluteljr be joined, to a Vowel ^ Diph- 
thongy or Trifhthongy (either in preceding or following fuch 
Vowely Diphthongs or Triphthong) before a Confonant is ad- 
mitted a Part in a Syllable. 

What I Jiave Confonants no Souijd ? 
A. It cannot be affertcd and fupportod, that Confonants 
have no Sbundj^ becaufe each ^haraSfer hcJds its natural. 
Sounds and feme of thent bear the Sound of entire Syllables ; 
as, b bears the Sound of the Affirntatipn [be,] alfo of the

How are the fmgle Confonants divided f

therefore I forbear, and defire to mention thofe Principles 
defcending from thefe Jingle Confonants.

The Explanation of the Scale. 

This Mark (— ) under each Jhtgk Confonant denotes the 
Period of each Letter ; and Aat there is only one Charafter 
of one Shape. 

This Mark ( — ) beneath the double and treble Conjo^ 
nantSy whether initial or finals denotes the Terms or Periods 
of their Alphabetical Orikr of the firft Letters as, fo many 
begin with by or &c. 

ThWMark (}) called a Brace^ which conne£b, or en- 
clofes the Letters in different Prints^ denotes the Learner 
fhould learn the Sound of the lowermoft Letters with a 
Vowely 5cQ. that he or fhe may thereby learn the Sound of 
the uppermofty which will become very eafy on Applica- 
tion. The Oy or Cypher, placed beneath ghy denotes gh 
has no Sound, tho* I Qiall fignify in Names, fe'r. when 
they come in Courfe, what Sound they borrow \ alfo I 
(hall then take notice of gm and griy two final double Con- * 
fbnants, not taken notice of in the Table or Scale.

The Learner muft be perfe<Elly a Maftery in fpelling 
brilkly any of the Cslumns from the Top to the Bottom, 
before he be put to the Trial of putting any of the initi^ 
Confonant $ to a Vowel^ &c. 

D Let 



'it ' ' The'Royal Umver/aJ ' ^. 

Let him be taught the Vowels feparately, and to take 
fuch Nbtice as to Know a Voivel ftands ^one, or whether 
it has an initial or a final to it : As I thus fliall exhibit my 
Meaning (by what, I make no Doubt, fome'wiM term a 
whim/ical Demonfiration^ fuppofing I am teaching thofe 
Perfins who underftand Syllables very well ; but indeed I 
^ am not, this being only Aiili for Babes) as follows : Let 
the Child fet his Handsy or the Fore Finger of each Hand^ 
on each Side tht Vowel \ thus, JO"^^^ and learn him 
to declare that Vowel he holda at, to be the middle Part ; 
ii\2Lt\iQ kts' Nothing on the Left handy which is the initial 
Side i ice. and by fuch Means ufed by either Parent^ Mif- 
trefsy or Majier^ (tho' they'll find a little Tiouble to them- 
felves) they will find a Child will attain great PerfeSiion in 
pronouncingy and ready difcovering the Nature and Rife of 
Sotiftds. 

When able, let the Leamer be taught the Joining of the 
Precedingy or Initialsy firft to the Vowelsy &c. and if it 
happens to be a Schoolmajlery or Mijlrefsy that may havq 
the DireSiiony let /w^ or three Children perform at the 
Table together, and I am fenfible fome of them will al- 
moft perfe£Uy underftand by a few Motions of the 
Teacher. 

When the Initials fhall become pretty eafy, they rejcdl 
them; and join xht Vowel ay &c. to each finaly which I 
term Roots ; for when the Learner fliall be perfeft in their 

' Souhdsy he will be alfo able to adjoin to each finaly the 
Viholt Gourfe of Initials ; and confequently enabled to ex- 
prefs the mojl difficult Sounds that are to be met with in the 
Britijh Tongue \ for the Scale expreifes all the Articulations 
that the Organs of the Mojuth are capable of making, and 
confequently contains Abundance more than all the Britijb 

. IVords of o?ie SyllabUy of what Sort foever, and indeed more 
than the whole Language ; for all Words of any Number 
of Syllables are to be compofed therefrom : But as all that 
I may be able to fay on its Vfefulnefs will greatly fall fliort 
of the whole, I conclude with wifliing it may be well 
ufed, and hope, in a jhort Tinuy it will fliew its intended 
EiFcds. 

Q. How many Syllables may be in a Word ? 

A,. Words 



Britifh Grammar and Vocabulary. 19 

A. Words may have any Number of Syllables from one 
to eighty as will appear ii> the following Part of this 
Grammar ? 

Q. How many RuU% for dividing of Syllables are there in 
the Britijh T mgue ? 

A. Six ; which may be Taid for Reafon and Subftance to 
be derived from the foregoing Scale. 

Q. ' What is the firji Rule for dividing Words of many * 
Syllables into their proper Syllables ? 

A. A fingle Confonant betwixt two Vowels.^ or Diphthongs^ 
muft be joined to the latter Vowd^ &c. as, ^f^u-ni^^j^ty^ 
ca-mel^ &c. viz. term the Left-hand the former^ or f&re* 
moft Vowil^ or Diphthong.^ fas it may happen) and the 
Right-hand the latter Vowe\ Diphthongs or Triphthongs i^^^n 
will the Child be able to judge what Letter^ or Letters he 
fees between his Fingers 5 and if it chance to be a Jingle 
Confonanty as above, it muft be joined, or fpelt -with the 
Right-hand VoweljbcQ. as the Index dire£b, . 

Q. What is the fecond Rule of dividing Words into 
Syllables,? 

A. Two or three Confmants between two Voweh^ Diph'^ 
thongs^ or Triphthongs^ that are proper to begjn .a Wordf 
muft be joined, or fpelt with the latter^ or Right'^band 
Vowel J &c. 

Q. Which are thofe double^ or treble ConfinantSj that 
are proper to begin a Word? , 

A. All thofe double and treble initial Confonants on the 
Left-hand in the foregoing Scale^ with ^/ and // thereafter 
named. 

Example. 
\O^Bi-Jkety^ Bi-Jhopj Bre-thren. 

Q. What is the third Rule for dividing of TVords into 
Syllables? 

A. When two or /Ar^^ Confonants take place betwixt /w^ 
Vowels^ Sec. and not being ^rc/^ to begin a Word ; viz. 
they not compofing any one of the aforementioned double^ 
or treble initial Confonants^ they muft be parted thus - ; 
if two ftand in the Middle^ put one to the Left-hand^ and 
one to the Right ; if three happen to be betwixt the Vowels^ 
&c. fometimes one muft be put to the Left hand^ and tW9^

N. B. I. After this Manner will all deuiJe^ trebU^ and 
juadrupk C&n/inemts be parted^ when found betwixt Foweisj 
fcc. becauTe the Initials are feldom or never parted, let 
the^i be found bow they will. 

N. B. 2. The Lionur is obliged by the Confefuence of 
thefe Rulesy to get by heart all the Jingie^ double^ and trebU 
' initial Confonants ; which fully enables the Liarmr to make 
yudgment of what is feen betwixt the Vowels^ &c. and a 
fliortTime (by ftria Application) will make the Learner an 
Artift in dividing Words into proper Syllables. A Child, 
cither Male or Female, is able to commit to Memory all 
the initial CmfonantSy immediately after a perfect Know- 
ledge of the Sowd and Shape of each Jingle Character in the 
Alphabet. 

N. B. 3. And my Method in helping the Child to re« 
member the double and treble Confonants^ is to make htm 
fenfible of their Alphabetical Order ; as how many begin 
with by holding the Fore- finger on the Left-hand to the 
Letter, and at the End of the b*s to mind the periodical 
♦ Marky and to fay. All the b's are done ; and thus the rV, 
and fo throughout : And a few fuch Trials will help a 
Chad under five Yearfc XiS Age to rehearfe them without a 
Book ; and with Eafe to perform tiie rmjing of all nattcral 
SylkMes JOt Sounds. 

N. B. 4. The Reafon why I have been fomewhat largie 
in hinting npon the Ufefolneft and Ufing xrf thefe £1^-

well as too many Parents ) in the Inftrudlion of them to 
Childien, they fometimes judging the Elements trivial^. 
which are to the Judicious of the utmoft Importance ia 
the Confoquelk:e. 

What is the fourth Rule for dividing Words of 
many Syllables into their proper and dijitn^i Syllables or 
Parts f 

A. When two Vowels come or meet together, not 
making any of the forementioned Diphthongs in the fore-' 
going ^cale^ they muil be Teparated, or parted. 

Q. What Conjunctions or Meetings of the Vawels an? 
they that miift be fo divided ? 

A. They are eafily known by committing to Memory 
thofe Conjunflions of the Vowels termed Dipmhongs^ which 
ought to be done out of Ncceflity, for thp more perfe£l 
unoerftandirig this Rule; but out of Indulgence (tho' in- 
deed it is fometimes attended with a bad Confcquence) I 
ihall exhibit thofe Conjun£lions that generally occur, by 
the following Scale.

the Rule. 

Oe and fo liaving been lately received into the Number 
of Diphthongs, ought not to be mentioned here ; but in 
my Opinion thefe might receive the French Term dubious^ 
they being parted in as many or more Words, than th^^ 
Number Words in which they are allowed to be 
Diphthongs 'y as, co-er-d-cny c^t'ef-Jen-ti-al, me-te-or, the*

What is the fifth Rule for dividing of Words into 
Syllables ? 

A. Words formed or derived, they muft be divided ac- 
cording to their Original or Primitive. 

Q. What is meant by a Word formed or derived ? 

A" When an Original Word hath a Termination an- 
liexed to it j as in the fecond and third Perfons Angular in 
Affirmations, whether in the prefent or paft Time; the 
dualities of doing and fuffering j the polities derived of 
Names ending in ous^ and Names taking the Termination 
lejs J the Qualities in the Degrees of Comparifon of Qua- 
lity, and Names derived from Affirmations 5 alfo Particles 
derived from Qualities, by taking ly\ fuch. a Word is 
termed a Derivative. 

Q^^What is the Confequence of this Rule ? 

A. Thefe Terminations which formeth as aforefaid, 
muft go by themfelves in fpelling and founding ; which 
are, eft^ edftj ethj ed, en^ ingy ousy lefs^ ijh^ er^ nefs^ tion^

Note I. Affirmations of one Syllable,^ ending with a 
finale Confonant, without a Diphthong foregoing, double 
their final Confonant, when they take any of the forma- 
tive EndingSy and then it is proper to put the latter Confo- 
nant with the Termination ^ as, blot-teji^ blot-teth^ blot-ting^

Note 2. When Afiirmations in e final take any of the 
formative Ending, or Terminations, e final is loft, or dif- 
folvcd into the Termination -Vowel, and then the Confo- 
nant which was immediately before the e finals muft of 
Ncccffity be put to the Termination, in order to permit

Q. What is the fixth generaf Rule for dividing of 
Words into Syllables ? 

A. All compound Words muft be divided back a^ain 
into their primitive Parts, 

Q. What is the firfll Confequence of this Rule ? 

A. The firft Confeiquence is, that thefe certain little 
Syllables by their Pofition are termed Prepofitions j which 
muft always be feparated from the Word they are prefixed 
to, whenever you intend tp Ihew the diftinA Parts of that 
Word i as, ad, in^ un^ fiib^ per^ dif^ rey pre.

Q,TT7HAT are Words? 

VV A. The Words, or Sounds of Voice in any 

Language, is the Medium by which we convey all our 
Ideas, and Notions of Things in Communication and 
Converfation one with another j and thereby exhibit our 
Perception, Judgment, and Reafoning of all Things, that 
are the Objedts of our Senfes, RefledHon or Under- 
ilanding. 

Qi Have we Words adapted to, and expreffive of thefe 
Things ? 

A. Yes ; which naturally creates four Claffes : Firjly 
Words which are termed Names, becaufe they are fuch 
Words as exprefs Things themfelves, and never fail to 
raife an Idea in the Mind; neither do they need the Help 
of any other Word to make us underftand them. Secondly^ 
Qualities, which exprefs the Manners, Properties, and 
Afiefliions of thofe Things or Subftances. Thirdly^ Af- 
firmations, which exprefs the AiStions, Paffions, or Be- 
ing of Things. Fourthly^ Particles, or little Words, 
fliewing the Manner, or Quality of Aftions, PaiSons, or 
Being; as alfo their Relations, Regards^ and Conne(£Uons 
to, and with* each other in Sentences : And this Digeftion 
of Words is termed the four Parts of Speech in the Bri^ 
tijb Tongue, which anfwers all the Diviftons of any other 
Language. .

Q. TlTJHAT are Names ? 

V V A. Names are thofe Words (whether cxpreflcd 
by Sounds or Ch^aftcrs) that exprefs Things or Sub- 
iunces themfelves; and as already (aid, need not the 
Help of any other Word to make us underftand them ; 
for when I hear any one (ay, d Many the JVomarij an Ox^ 
tic. thofe Sounds and Chara£)^rs in^medlately excite fucl> 
Ideas in the Mind, as it operates in Perception, Judg-> 
ment and Rcafoning, that fuch Words need no other to 
fxpJain them. 

Qj^ Why do w<? write <7, tht^ and an before the Names ? 

A. For the more fully diftinguifliing of the Name, they 
being in the Qiiality of Indices^ (hew the Name dh-eSly 
in view ; a and the ditcd to Names beginning with Si 
Confonant;, and an directs to Names beginning with, a 
Vowel. As, 



the< ^ yVoman. 
an L yOx, 

But their received Term, hereafter. 

Q. Is iher^ no DiflinAioaof DifFcjrence in Names f 

A. Yes } tiiere are three Sorts of Names : Ftr/i, Com- 
mon Names, which are fuch as ap-ce^ to, or exprefe a 
whcde Kinds as, thaUsLme Man figiufies any Man, 

SecmiOy^ Proper Names^ which diftinguifli Particulars^ 
of a Kind from etch other ; as, Jdm^ TimaSy ff^iiiam. 
Sec. di^ngttifii thefe Men from all the reft of Mankind. 

TUrdfy^ P'erfonal Names, which- are ufed when we 
i^akof, about, or concerning Pcrfons, or Things, that 
have been juft before fpoken of, and thereby avoid the Re- 




peti-

petition of the fame Word } and thefe fupply the Place of 
the Names of Men, Women, and Things. 

Q. Which of the three Sorts of Names do you treat of 
firft? 

A. Common Named, being the general Method of 
both ancient and modern Grammarians, ia moft, if not 
in all their Grammars. 

Q. What further diftinguifhes Names from the odieif 
Claffijs of Words ? r 

A. Names expreffing Thin^ themfelves, can never 
make Senfe with the Word Thing after them ; as, A4df§ 
y3Ww5f, FiriM Things &c* 

Have the Briti/b Names any Number ? 

A. Yes ; Names in general, ngnifying either one, or 
irtore than one of the fame Kind, muft naturally have two 
different Numbers to exprefs this Difference ; as the fingu- 
•^lar Number, which expreffeth but one Thing, or Sub* 
ftance ; and the plural Number, which fpeaks of, or about 
many, of the fame Things, or Subftances. And this Di- 
(Kn^ion of Number is made by adjoining the Letter s tdL 
ihcfingular. 

V 

Example. 




This alfo gives another Sign to diftinguifli N^om^ (foob 
die other. Parts of Speech. 

Is this the general Rule for forming the Singular 
Number of Names into the Plural, by annexing the little s 
to the Singular ? 

A. This may be termed the general Rule, yet, as all other 
general Rules, it is fubjeft to fome Exceptions ; but they 
are but few in Number,>.and the Lift of each Exception 
ihort : Therefore it appears moft proper to exhibjt them, 
before any Tables or Lifts of the Common Names, that 
are regular in forming their Plural Number. 



30 7bi Royal XJniverfal 



N. B, Children need not enter upon Eitceptions until 
they have fufficient Underftanding of what is regular. 

Q. What is the firft Exception to the general Rule ? 

A. When Common Names terminate with c or 
foftened by e ferviUy or with fe or ze» the annexing to fuch 
Common Names the Plural gives the Name in the Plu- 
ral the Appearance of ending with es ; but in this Situation 
the three laft Letters are bound to make a diftind Sounds 
auid therefore the Plural of fuch Words have a Svllable 
more than the Singular ; as more fidly appears by the fol- 
lowing Lift, or Table.

What !s the fecond Exception to the general Rule 
of forming the Plural Number I 

A. The fecond Exception to the general Rule is, that 
when Common Names end, terminate, or clofe in the 
Singular, with ch^Jhy or yJ, then it is abfolutely neceflaij 
to annex es to fuch Common Names, in order to form their 
Plural Number j and that es makes a diftinft Syllable after

Note, The Pupil cannot be too perfeil in Irregulars. 

Have all Common Names the Diftinftion of Singular 
and Plural Number ? 

A. No ; there are fome Common Names, whofc compo- 
nent Parts are fuch, as deftroys the Diftinftion of Singular 
and Plural in the fame Name ; viz. fome Common Names 
being only in the Plural, and others only in the Singular 
Number. 

TheUfe of Number and its Formation having been 
fully treated of, with its four Exceptions, and perfe6k 
Lifts in Monofyllablcs, it remains now to enquire what 
further Accidents appertain to the rendering the modern 
Britijh Name (equal to the Noun Subftantive in other Lan- 
guages) in its Relations, Regards, fcff. 

A. The Britijh Name levels itfelf in all the References 
of a Noun Subftantive in other Languages, by the pre- 
fixing a Particle Word before it ; fuch as, of, to, for, a, 
an, the, by, through, O, from, with, and a few others j 
but thefe are fufficient to anfwer the common Praftice of 
their Dcclenfions. 

Q. What! have the Britijh Language no Declen-^ 
fions ? 

A. There is no fuch Term at prefent admitted into the 
modem Britijh Tongue, and whenever it may be, it will 
not be in the Plural ; the Britijh Name in general being in 
a Parallel witl\ the Latin Monoptotes, having no Variation 
in Termination, except in forming its Plural Number 
with X, or as before excepted.

Now I hope it appears plain and eafy enough to- the 
hritijh Pupil to fliew and rehearfe the References, Relar-

by repeating after the Manner of the above Scale, for it is* 
e<iually eafy with any Name.

Xiendevy which is a Granimatical Point of great Coh- 
cernment in the Latin Tongue, and others, what have 
you to fay to that Point in the modern Brltijh Tongue ? 

A. The Britons are more ttri6l in the Expreflion of the 
Gender, or Sex, than any Language; the Latin j Grc£k^ 
and fome other Languages, difcover their Gender by the 
Variation of Epithets^ or Subttantives ; whereas in the 
Britijh Tongue it is exprefled by different Words ; as in 
the following Scale 

N. B. The Particles of the fecond"Sort will be further 
borrowed and continued in the Margins, for the Sake of

iV^ B. There arc no Common Names with the re- 
maining fingle Confonants j neither where any preceding 
Omiffion has appeared. 

Having fully draughted the modem Britijh Common 
Names of one Syllable ending with a ftngle Confonant, I 
have obtained thereby the belt Opportunity of exhibiting 
the true Notion, Intention, and Common Ufe of e finals 
following a fingle Confonant, with a Vowel forcing. 

Note I. Remember it has been before (aid that each 
Vowel has two diftindl Sounds : Now thele two Sounds 
are given in Reality, from one and the fame Combination 
of Letters in a Syjlable (whether that Syllable be abfolute- 
ly a Name, Quality, Affirmation or Particle) and by the 
Ear's Difcovery of*^ thefe two dilKnfl: Sounds, there are 
raiied (in the four various Clafles of Word) very different 
Ideas, with different Perceptions, Judgments, and Reafon- 
ings of the fame Letters. 

Note 2. By this Variation of the Sound of a Vowel, 
one Name is reduced to another ; Tometimes a Name is 
rendered thereby a Quality, Affirmation, or Particle, and 
thus reciprocally one to another, which will foOn appear 
upon flender Obfervation, 

Note 3. For the Sake of Certainty, when we are to 
found Jhort and when long^ there are fufficient Badges given 
for this, as for any one Diftin£Hon whatfoever: And for 
the prefent Cafe the Letter ^, termed e finals or > fervile^

the foregoing Vowd long, and confequently it» Abfence is 
the fame infallible Badge, or Sign for toning It alfo

Note alfo, that (hr,) denotes irregular in forming the

It is difficult to imagine (after the ReheatfiJ of the fore*

And any one may prove that the Letter i final ias no

who are unfkilfid in the Ufe of this Letter dd frequently 
make Miflakes both in Sounding and Writing, taking 
Bab for Babe^ C^g for Cage^ &C.

ther heighten the Charge of Superfluity. 



CHAP. XI. 

The Promife made (in Page 35 J of exhibiting the further 
ejfential l^ecejfaries to the full compleating the Britifh 
Grammarian, are here necejfarily inferted after the fore- 
going Irregularities, and the Lijis of regular common 
Names ; it being fuppofed he is very well skilled in the 
foregoing RuleSy &c. Tien let him 

Quere, Whether or no there remains any more grammatical 
Rules or Obfervations on common Names in the modern 
Britifh Language ? 

Anfw. Tes : Let the Grammarian take for Rule and Ohfer^ 
vation^ that Names, which exprefs Things in general^ or 
ahfiraSf Qualities, are rarely to be found in the plural 
Number ; likewife the Names of Virtues, Vices, Habits, 
Metals, Liquids, unftuous Matter, Grain, (and its Re- 
fufe) Herbs and Drugs. 

And to prevent Miflake^ the following Lifts contain mojl^ if 
not all the common Names dependent on the above Rule, 
agreeing with its Order and Denominations.

A PRAXIS 

On the two foregoing Manners of Expreffion. 

Itove the LORD with all my Heart, with all my Mind, 
with all my Soul, and with all my Strength. 
Thou h'veft Play too much ; and he l^eth^ or [he] kvet 
Idtenefs and Folly to too high a Degree 

We, ye, or you, )»they lonje any good Thing. 
I lo'uedy or, I did lonte Milk ; thou lo<vedft Soup ; he lo^ei 
M&ftt ; but we, ye or you, they )• lo'ved, or did lonje Wine. 

I have folluwd too much the Devices and Defires of my 
iBwn Heart. Thou haft loved Darknefs rather thaA Light. He 
A* flie hath loved Piety during the whole Coiiric pf LiTe ; but 
^rc, ye, or you ha've rebelled againft the LORD of Lords, and 
SING of Kings. 

i bad commanded Sufan to drefs the Dinner againft your Re- 
fart^ as thou hadft defired it ; but fhe had received an Order 
from her Miftrefs to have it ready at One. 

Now we, ye ot you, they ^ had failed inevitably, if we, ye or 
Job, they yhad purfued the Courfes, Meafures, and Advice of 
rnhLi/tleworth. 

Sir, For this very fingular Favour I nvill pray for you et^r- 
&ally ; but I ivili profecute the vile Villain to the full Extent of 
Law. Thou wilt injure thyfelf, unlefs you will take wholefome 
Coonfel ; for he being a perverfe Man, he will oppofe you ob- 
ffihately; and [he] will tra<verfe the Cafe to the utmoft j fo 
thit he wilL pu%%le^ and [he will] confound the Affair, Matter^" 
Bufmefs, to the End that you, we, ye or you, they \^will lai 
ment the Undertaking, and ftiall ev^n bemoan its Confequence. 

itw^ [thou or yonj the G OD of Gods. Fear [thou, fsff.J 
tnm who hath Power to caft into Hell. Kfs [thoU] the Son, 
ttft he be angi-y. Let him love Piety, and [let let him] praSljce 
^e fame to his Life's End. Let her provoke ; let her extrcifemy 
Patience, for I have fufficient Refolution to guard my Paffions* 
Lei us forgive our Enemies. Let us pray ^r thofe who dc- 
ipitefully trcfat us. Hate^ defptfe, contemn y difdain^ de trail ^ 
difraud [ye] no Man. Let them beware^ regitrdy nay, let them 
irea^ the Confequence of their Iniquity. 

Ijfite, The Words included by the Brackets are to be ufed 
at Pleafure ; or more efpecially when the Teacher (hall interro- 
gate the Scholar concerning the Parts of Speech, and their Cif- 
cumftanccs or Accidents.

Thus having paralleU'd the modern BrUiflf Affirmation 
Word, in all its Manners, CsT^. with a Laiin Verb of the firit 
Conjugation, in all its Moods and other Circumflancrs ; it re- 
mains, that every Perg>h in right Senfes, after a ftri^ Exami^ 
nation, and Companion between the Du£li]ity of the modern 
Brltijh Afiirmation and its correfpondine Latin \'erb amo^ 
to give in a Verdift, whckhcr or no the modern Britijh Tvro 
fhaU firft undertake andead Language, in order to attain his 
native Tongue ; or b<gia -atld projeeed regularly in the-fame 
in order to attain- it 'V f 

For myfelf I judge^ ^ the modern BrUt/h Formation of 
the Affirmation /ov/, wiltJae kfs fatiguing to the Memory and 
Underftanding, than the Latin Verb atno^ through both the 
Adive and Paffive Ejiprdfion^ or Voice; and that it appears, 
by the foregoing Scale, 6^ir.; \q be ' moft eligible for a Brleor^ 
iirft to begin his Literature with the initiafPrinciples of his 
native Tongue, and to proceed gradually with the fame, as 
digefted in this Grammar, to the full End and Scope of his Mo- 
ther Tongue ; and thc^to lyiay Ae Scholar, if Neceffity or Incli-- 
nation require it, proceed from this Grammar to any other^. 
whether of the living or dead Languages. 

And again. Jet it be obfcrved and noted, that as moft of 
the modern Briii/b Affirmations are fubiedl to this one Series 
of Change; fo are the main Body of the Latin Verbs fubjeft 
to four diffizrent Conjugations, Formations, or Manners of 
ihewing the fame kind of Ex^effions (without taking Notice 
of the Irregularities ajtoertainnig to each Conjugation) which, 
if each were equally eaiy with' our own, render it an abfolute 
fourfold Labour in thi^^fingle Part of Speech ; as I will exhi- 
bit in the following Manner ; by which the Excellence of 
learning the modern J^r/'/ji^ Tongue firft, in order to facilitate 
the undertaking any other, will more fully appear.

What is Tranfpofition ? 
A. TranJ^oJition is the Infertion of Words in a Sentence or Sen- 
tences out of their natural Order ; that is, by putting Words or 
Sentences before ^ uohich fhould come after \ and Words ^ or Setstences^ 
after, which Jhould come before^ 

Examples. 

Ill Examples are as catching as Difeafes ; and the Mind is 
as liable to Infection as the Body. 

The Mind is oj liable to Infection as the Body ; and ill Examplet 
ure as catching as Difeafes. 

It is the higheft Ingratitude to overlook a Thoufand Mer- 
cies, and mnrmur at one AfHidion. 

To murmur at one Affliition, and overlook a Thoufand Mercies ^ 
is the higheft Ingratitude. 

The Subllantivc is often pat out of its Place, eipecially when 
there or it is fet before the Affirmation ; as. There was a Man 
at Court, ^ who faid \ i. g, A Man was, // is thi Cuftom ;

And further ; One Thing ought to be obfervcd, which is, 
that the belli and cleareft Writers have the feweft Tranfpofidons 
in their Difcourfes ; and that they are more allowable in Poe- 
try than m Profe ; becaufe it is there generally fweefer, and 
more agreeable to the Bar. Take this one more Example in . 
Profe, and its follbwing in blank Verfe : Any thing, tbcl* never, 
fi little, 'U'hicb a Man Jpeaks of him/elf, in my Opinion^ is tcp 
much. 

The natural Order is thus : 

Any thing is too much, in my Opinion, which a Man fpeaks 
of himfelf, though never fo little.

^ Upon what Account may Words be left out } 

A. Words may be left out on four Accounts , " 

I . When a Word has been mentioned juft before, and may 
be fuppofed to be kept in Mind, then it is often left oat ; as.

to make any Colledlion of Fables, £9*^. from other Authors, 
for Leflbns for Children ; wherefore I advife fuch little Books 
to be ufed by themfelves ; and, at proper Times, to prove
