Made of al This indefinite, and, as it may be called, the euphonic article, is said by all our grammarians to be used before a vowel or h mute; but no notice is taken of using a instead of it before what is called a vowel, as, a useful book, a useful ceremony, a usurer, &c. nor is any mention made of its constant usage before h when it is not mute, if the accent of the word be on the second syllable, as, an heroic action, an historical account, &c. TLs want of accuracy arises from a want of analyzing the vowels, and not attending sufficiently to the influence of accent on pronunciation. A proper investigation of the power of the vowels would have informed our Grammarians, that the letter u, when long, is not so properly a vowel as a semi-consonant, and perfectly equivalent to commencing y, 8; and that a feeling of this has insensibly influenced the best speakers to prefix a to it in their conversation, while a confused idea of the general rule arising from an ignorance of the nature of the letters has generally induced them to prefix on to it in writing. The same observations are applicable to the h. The ear alone tells us, that before heroic, historical, &c. the an ought| invariably to be used; but by not discovering that it is the absence of accent on the h that makes an admissible in these words, we are apt to prefix an to words where the h is sounded, as, an horse, an house, &c. and thus set our spoken and written language at variance. This seems better to account for the want of accuracy in this article than a conjecture I once heard from Dr. Johnson, that our ancestors, particularly in the time of the Spectator, where this misapplication of the article frequently occurs, did not pronounce the h at the beginning of words so often as we do. However this may be, it seems necessary to a correctness of language to make our orthography and pronunciation as consistent as possible: for which purpose it may not be useless to attend to the following general rules. The article A must be used before all words beginning with a consonant, and before the vowel when long and the article An must be used before all words beginning with a vowel, except long u; before words beginning with a mute, as, an hour, an heir, &c. or before words where the his not mute, if the accent be on the second syllable, as, an heroic action, an historical arcount, &c. For the few words in our language where the h is mute, see this letter in the Principles, No. 391: and for a just idea of the letter u, and the reason why it admits of an before it, when long, see Principles,|| No. 8, and the notes upon it.
