This is among some of the words in our language, whose accentuation astonishes foreigners, and sometimes puzzles natives. What can be the reason, say they, that comparable and incomparable have not the same accent as the verb compare? To which it may be answered. One reason is, that the English are fond of appearing in the borrowed robes of other languages; and as comparable and incomparable may possibly be derived from comparabilis and incomparabilis, they seem desirous of laying the stress on the first syllable, both to show their affinity to the Latin words (see Academy,) and to dis tinguish them from the homespun words form. ed from our own verb. When this distinction is once adopted, the mind, which is always labouring to express its ideas distinctly and for cibly, finds a sort of propriety in annexing dif ferent ideas to the different accentuation; and thus the distinction becomes accurate and clas

Nothing can show more with what servility we sometimes follow the Latin accentuation than pronouncing this word with the accent on the penultimate. In the Latin decorus the o is long, and therefore has the accent; but in dedecorus the o is short, and the accent is consequently removed to the antepenultimate; this alteration of accent obtains likewise when the word is used in English, and this accentuation is perfectly agreeable to our own analogy: but because the Latin adjective indecorus has the penultimate long, and consequently the ac-INDEPENDENT, în-de-pen'dént. a. Not decent on it, we must desert our own analogy, and servilely follow the Latin accentuation, though that accentuation is, no regard to analogy; for why dedecorous and incorons, words which have a similar derivation and Leasing, should have the penultimate of diffcr-! nt quantities, can be resolved into nothing but the caprice of custom; but that so clear an analogy of our own language should be subservient to the capricious usages of the Latin, is a satire upon the good sense and taste of Eng Tshmen.
