A key to the classical pronunciation of Greek and Latin proper names :
in which the words are accented and divided into syllables exactly as they ought to be pronounced : with references to rules, which show the analogy of pronunciation : to which is added, a complete voabulary of scripture proper names, divided into syllables, and accented according to rules drawn from analogy and the best usage : concluding with observations on the Greek and Latin accents and quantity, with some probable conjectures on the method of freeing them from the obscurity and confusion in which they are involved, both by the ancients and moderns /
