THE principal object of the authors in preparing the following Supplement, has been to furnish a manual of geographical pronunciation adequate to the wants of teachers. Many names occurring on the maps ordinarily used in schools, had been omitted in the original Gazetteer, either from the impossibility of then ascertaining the true pronunciation, or from the conviction that they were intrinsically of little importance. For it is perhaps scarcely necessary to inform the reader that the insertion or omission of names in an atlas furnishes no certain criterion whereby to determine their actual importance, since it is not unusual for engravers, in order to obviate the appearance of meagreness or deficiency, to insert the names even of the most insignificant places in those parts of the map where they happen to have plenty of room, while names of real importance are necessarily omitted in other parts for the want of room. It not unfrequently happens, indeed, that the names of places whose existence is doubtful or more than doubtful, are found on maps of those parts of the world which have been but imperfectly explored. Yet names, however insignificant in themselves, occurring in our most popular school atlases, acquire from this very circumstance a certain importance to the teacher of geography. It has accordingly been the aim of the authors to give all the difficult names found in our common school atlases, especially on the maps of those parts of the world which are the best known, and of those which, from commercial or other relations, are most interesting to us. The names of places in the United States, however, form a partial exception to this general plan, not that it is less important to give the difficult names of our own country, but (as has been stated in the Advertisement to the present edition of this work) "on account of the insuperable difficulties inherent in the task itself." In giving the pronunciation of the names of foreign places-there being ordinarily but one known among the inhabitants -the only points of difficulty, generally speaking, are: first, to ascertain the true sound; and, secondly, to express it in a manner intelligible to the English scholar. With regard, however, to the names of some parts of our own country, it seems impossible to give any pronunciation that will be generally satisfactory, from the fact that in many instances there is no settled pronunciation even among the inhabitants themselves. We have repeatedly known gentlemen of intelligence and education to differ entirely with regard to the proper manner of pronouncing names with which they had been familiar for years. It appears to us that this uncertainty or |
