SCRIPTURE PROPER NAMES

MARKED FOR CORRECT PRONUNCIATION

NOTE BY THE PUBLISHERS.

To the ordinary reader of the Bible a difficulty has always presented itself in the correct pronunciation of the Proper Names. To obviate this difficulty has been the aim of the publishers in issuing this list of Scripture Proper Names marked for Correct Pronunciation.

The pronunciation adopted, and the diacritical marks used to express it, are based (by arrangement with the publishers, G. and C. Merriam and Co.) on Webster's International Dictionary (latest edition). This will be found a great convenience, as Webster's marks are more or less familiar to almost every reader.

To make the system of pronunciation as thorough as possible, every syllable of the Proper Names is indicated, and every vowel is diacritically marked. Further, those consonants are also marked which are capable of more than one pronunciation.
