Excerpt from The Poetical Geography: Designed to Accompany Outline Maps or School Atlases, to Which Are Added the Rules of Arithmetic in Rhyme One of the extravagances of authors, is, in flattering themselves that their own productions are superior to those of their rivals, and many, to make it appear more obvious than it may be, essay to turn the public favor from their competitor's merits, by defects real or pretended, which they are careful to exhibit; presenting their own at the same time, in their most brilliant colors. But, avoiding this extreme, the Author of this work would ask leave only to show the need and worth of a rhyming system, in securing a knowledge of the branch here treated of, and leave others to decide how far he has succeeded in the formation of such. That proper names are more difficult to retain in the memory, than common, is almost superfluous to mention. In acquiring general terms, or in the study of language, the continual repetition of the same words, and our familiarity with the subjects to which they are applied, renders it less difficult to the memory, than in learning proper names that are fixed to denote one thing only, and never occur unless the objects or things for which they stand are particularized. Geography is a branch that is studied by nearly all - but how few among the vast number, who spend years in acquiring a knowledge of it, ever retain or remember it. But the defect is not to be attributed to the works studied, but to the poverty of memory; the retentive powers of the mind are not endowed with energies competent to the task of sustaining so cumbrous a load; some mechanical aid is requisite, and hence the utility of a work of the present kind. The author has endeavored to circumscribe in as small a space as possible, the matter here presented, and by so doing, has sacrificed ornament to brevity, which is the leading characteristic of the work. From the different pronunciations that names admit of, and the unsettled difference among the learned and unlearned, as to their correct orthoepy, the manner of pronunciation here, may by many, be deemed imperfect, and by a different pronunciation, render many of the lines prosaic and disproportionate in measure, which will doubtless be an objection offered to the reception of the work; but such an objection would be unjust and unwarrantable; it would be utterly impossible to establish a system of orthoepy, which would be sanctioned by all. That of the present work is founded principally on the authority of Baldwin, Worcester, and Morse - and if theirs be adhered to, no irregularities of sound or quantity will be discernible. The following, from Joseph E. Worcester, will serve to show the impossibility of establishing a uniform system of pronunciation of foreign names, and also, the high claims of Common Custom (and it might be said with propriety, "Common Sense"), in settling this matter. "There can be no doubt but that geographical names, which assume such different forms in different languages, should be pronounced differently by the inhabitants of different countries, and in accordance with the analogies of their respective languages. All the common geographical names, such as are familiar to all intelligent persons, have become more or less Anglicized, and their pronunciation is more or less conformed to the English analogy. Many of these words may be considered as perfectly Anglicized, and are pronounced as common English words; but there are many that are only partially Anglicized, and with regard to such, it is often difficult to determine how far, in pronouncing them, the English analogy should be allowed to prevail. "With respect to the class of words which are partially Anglicized, there is a great diversity in the manner of pronouncing them. Some respectable speakers incline to pronounce them, for the most part, according to the English analogy, while others ...
