A few notes on this matter are therefore appended below.
[Transcriber's note: For this Latin-1 version, macrons have been marked as [=x], and breve accents as [)x].

See the Unicode version for a proper rendering of these accents.] The simple vowels, as a rule, have their continental pronunciation, approximately thus: [=a] as in _father_, [)a] as in _ask_; [=e] as in _there_, [)e] as in _men_; [=i] as in _marine_, [)i] as _fit_; [=o] as in _note_, [)o] as in _not_; [=u] as in _brute_, [)u] as in _full_; [=y] as in _gruen_ (German), [)y] as in _huebsch_ (German).

The quantity of the vowels is not marked in this work.

_AE_ is not a diphthong, but a simple vowel sound, the same as our own short _a_ in _man_, _that_, &c.
_Ea_ is pronounced like _ya_.

_C_ is always hard, like _k_; and _g_ is also always hard, as in _begin_: they must _never_ be pronounced like _s_ or _j_.
