From the tendency we have to remove the accent to the beginning of such Latin words as we Anglicize by dropping the last syllable, we sometimes bear this word improperly accented on the first syllable. See ACADEMY. The authorities for the accent on the second syllable are, Mr. Sheridan, Dr Johnson, W. Johnston, Mr. Perry, Dr. Kenrick, Bailey, Dr. Asb, and Entick; Buchanan sta ds alone for the accent on the first.

There is a plausible derivation of this word from the Freuch Bon Pere, which, say the anti-clerical critics, was the toast which the Monks gave to the Pope in a full glass. The arther a derivation is traced, the better it is liked by the common crowd of critics; but Mr. Elphinston, who saw farther into English and French etymology than any author I have met with, contents himself with deriving this word from the word Ben, which, as a verb, signifies the action of some heavy body that makes a

(559)-Fåte, får, fåll, fåt ;-mé, mêt ;-pine, pin ;

dense noise; and, as a noun, implies the ge

neral effect of such an action on the ani

inal frame, which is a protuberance or swelling and the swelling out of the liquor when a glass is fuil seems the natural offspring of the substantive Bump. Dr. Ash, whose etymological knowledge

seems very extensive, gives this word the same derivation, but tells us that the word Bumpkin is of uncertain etymology: a little attention, however, would, I think, have led him to the same origin of this word as the former; for the heavy and protuberant form of the rusticks, to whom this word is generally applied, might very naturally generate the appellation.
