To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thus we pronounce -er, -ir, -ur, and -a without distinction, and as a rule no difference is made between Lat. mater, (a)inatur, and (a)mata. The same vowel sound (and no ?•) is usually given to ver, cur, and vir (correctly pronounced wehr, koor, and wir). Arbor is not ahba but ahrbor. The mispronunciation of final syllables ending in r is very common even among classical scholars. Note that such a word as audirem should be pronounced, save for accent, as audi rem. An in- distinct vowel sound is... often wrongly inserted after the i (as in Eng. dearest) ; in other words the pure i sound is wrongly converted into a diphthong. 45. rh. — Lat. rhetor as in Fr. theatre. (rh = Gr. p.) It is the same sound as r except that it is voiceless, i.e., it is pronounced without the vocal chords vibrating. It is approximately the Eng. initial r, as in rub, but there is no exact equivalent in English. 46. B. — Lat. SUB, rosS,, accuBo, as in Eng. hisB, hist; never as in Eng. has (haz). Pronounce res as race (not reez), mdns as mohiiss (not monnz), miser as misser^, rosa as rossd^, pars as parss.
