Synopsis
Excerpt from Rhythmical Index to the English Language: An Index to All the Perfect Rhymes of a Different Orthography, and Allowable Rhymes of a Different Sound, Throughout the Language; With Authorities for the Usage of Them From Our Best Poets
As the principal object of the preceding Syllabic Dictionary was to throw light on the structure, orthography, and pronunciation of our language, it was necessary to adhere strictly to the inverted order of arrangement, that terminations of similar orthography might be classed together, though those of similar sound would sometimes, by this means, be separated; but as the inverted posi tion of the words, though the simplest that could be chosen for this purpose, may possibly at first embarrass the inspector for poetry, an index of rhymes is annexed in the same order as in Poole and Bysshe, though much more copious and correct, besides a reference to an almost infinite number of allowable rhymes, with authorities for their usage from our best poets. As an index to allowable rhymes is an attempt perfectly new, it may not be im proper to make a few Observations with respect to its utility, and answer some Objections to which it may be liable.
