FOOTNOTES:

[Footnote 1: The weight of authority is for ȧ-sĕtĭk, though ȧ-sētĭk 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 ēko-nomĭ-kal, while Cooley and Ayres prefer ĕko-nŏmĭ-kal.]

[Footnote 4: For the pronunciation īthẽr and nīthẽr 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 prōgrŭm than there is for tĕle-grŭm. Both are wrong]

[Footnote 6: By the authority of the President himself.]
