General note"The words are divided into syllables as a just pronunciation requires: The different sounds of the vowels are distinctly shown, by having numbers put against the words, which numbers are put separately, so that the first number, next to the word, shows the sound of the vowel in the first syllable, the second number shows the sound of the vowel in the second syllable, &c. : The dipthongs are represented by a union of [--]bers, which shows the union of sounds [--] soft sound of this represented by an apostrophe: And some letters having different [--] sounds, which can be represented by other letters, the letters which represent the true sound are put among the numbers."--t.p.
