FOOTNOTES:
[Footnote 1: The weight of authority is for [.a]-s[)e]t´´[)i]k, though [.a]-s[=e]´´t[)i]k would distinguish this word from another word, _ascetic_, of different meaning.]
[Footnote 2: This expression has become thoroughly anglicized.]
[Footnote 3: There is a very close balance in the pronunciation of this word. Perry, Knowles, Cull, Goodrich, and Fyfe prefer [=e]´k[+o]-n[+o]m´´[)i]-k_a_l, while Cooley and Ayres prefer [)e]k´[+o]-n[)o]m´´[)i]-k_a_l.]
[Footnote 4: For the pronunciation [=i]´th[~e]r and n[=i]´th[~e]r there is no authority, either of analogy or of the best speakers. It is an affectation, and, in this country, a copy of a second-rate British affectation.--_Richard Grant White._]
[Footnote 5: There is no more authority for pr[=o]´gr[)u]m than there is for t[)e]l´[+e]-gr[)u]m. Both are wrong]
[Footnote 6: By the authority of the President himself.]
