have followed the authority of Dr. Bently, who,
however versed in Latin and Greek, has been
proved by Dr. Lowth not to be infallible in the
Grammar of his own language.

We here see the great preponderance of authority for the short sound of o in all these words of three syllables, not because this letter is short in the Latin words whence they are derived; for risible and visible, which have the i short with us, are risibilis and visibilis in Latin; but because the accent in our English word is antepenultimate, and because this accent has a shortening power in all words of this form, which may be called simples, 503, unless the antepenultimate vowel be u, and then it is always long, 509, 511, 537. Thus the antepenultimate Towels in credible, clavicle, vesicle, &c. are short, though derived from credibilis, clavicula, vésicula, &c.; but the a in tamable, debatable, &c. is long,
