Էջ 15 - Thus, the accent over the e in parle serves to show that this vowel has its first French sound, and at the same time distinguishes it from parle, another form of the same verb, in which the e is mute. The circumflex imparts to the vowels over which it is placed, a longer and deeper sound than ordinary ; eg in hnte, temp&te, g\te, and apotre.
Էջ 15 - Obs. 2.) Others, on the contrary, maintain that in pronouncing words of a number of syllables, the voice of a native French speaker almost invariably rises and dwells on the last, and that this peculiar terminal intonation is very analogous, and nearly equivalent, to our accent.

They are curious observers, noting...

The coal field of Arkansas commences 40 miles above Little Rock, and extends on both sides of the river beyond the western boundary of the State. Cannel, anthracite, and bituminous coal are all found in the State. Gold is said to have been discovered in White county. Near the Hot Springs is a celebrated quarry of oil...
Էջ 107 - West," there is manganese enough in Arkansas to supply the world ; in zinc it excels every State except New Jersey ; and has more gypsum than all the other States put together, while it is equally well supplied with marble and salt.
