Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Pronunciation of 10, 000 Proper Names: Giving Famous Geographical and Biographical Names, Names of Books, Works of Art, Characters in Fiction, Foreign Titles, Etc
IT is hoped that this little book may be found useful by those who have not access to the large works in which alone the pronunciation of proper names has been given, or who find the large volumes inconvenient to handle. We have been able to include many names of recent interest which are not to be found in any other work, since they have come into prominence within the last two years.
