As nouns ending in ment always follow the accentuation of the verbs from which they are formed, we frequently hear advertisement taxed with the grossest irregularity for having the accent on a different syllable from advertise.-ADULTERATENESS, The origin of this irregularity seems to have arisen from a change which has taken place in the pronunciation of the verb since the noun has been formed; advertise and chastise were, in Shakspeare's time, both accented on the penultimate, and therefore advertisement and chastisement were formed regularly from them. "Wherein he did the King his lord advertise."

"My grief cries louder than advertisement." MUCH ADO, &c. "Oh, then how quickly should this arm of mine, "Now pris'ner to the palsy, chastise thee." RICHARD II. “And chastisement doth therefore hide its head." JUL. CESAR. But since that time the verbs advertise and chastise have fallen into an analogy more agreeable to verbs of the same form-for the verbs to promise, practise, franchise, mortise, and divertise, are the only words where the termination ise has not the accent either primary or secondary; and if an alteration must be made to reconcile the pronunciation of the simple with that|| of the compound, we should find it much easier to change advertisement and chastisement into ad-|| vertisement and chastisement, than advertise and hookedness. chastise into advértise and chastise; but the irreg-ADUNQUE, â-dûnk'. a. 415.
