Excerpt from The Restored Pronunciation of Greek and Latin: With Tables and Practical Illustrations As early as 1871 attention was called in authoritative quarters to the unsatisfactory standards of Latin pronunciation in vogue in the United Kingdom, and a definite reform was advocated with the support of such eminent names as those of H. A. J. Munro and Edwin Palmer. This proposal was received with some favour by the English Universities and public schools, with the result that the reformed pronunciation was recognised as a permissible alternative. In practice, however, it was seldom adopted, and appeared only to increase the existing confusion. When the University of Wales was founded in 1893, almost simultaneously with the creation of a great number of schools which provided instruction in Greek and Latin, it felt itself called upon to deal with this question. Whatever excuses might be found in England for indecision in dealing with a long-standing tradition, it could not be expected that a new educational system should be burdened with hesitations on so practical a question: least of all in a country in which the reformed pronunciation of most of the symbols concerned was already familiar in the native language. Accordingly with the support of our colleagues we drew up and published this pamphlet in 1895, the circumstances leading us to make use almost exclusively of the English, French, and Welsh languages to illustrate the pronunciation proposed. The scheme was officially adopted by the University, and has since been in regular use in the Principality: and this experience has shown that.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Restored Pronunciation of Greek and Latin: With Tables and Practical Explanations The uncertainty at present prevailing as to the best method of pronouncing Greek and Latin is a difficulty which is very widely felt both by students and teachers of these languages. At the establishment of the University of Wales it seemed desirable that an effort should be made to arrive at some kind of agreement in the matter, at any rate within the boundaries of the Principality. With this object the Classical Professors of the Constituent Colleges of the University of Wales requested two of their number to draw up a scheme of pronunciation, which should be based upon historical principles, and at the same time bear a practical character. We accordingly framed and submitted to our colleagues a draft scheme, which they have since examined and revised: and it is now published in a form to which they unanimously assent. The project has also received the approval of the Court and Senate of the University, and it may therefore be considered that these bodies desire to see some such uniform system of pronunciation adopted in the teaching and examinations of the University. We are confident that, in course of time, the principles we here advocate will win increasing approval from the general body of classical scholars: but we look to the criticisms of others, and to the test of experience, to add not a little in detail to the scientific and practical value of the scheme. Meanwhile we hope that it will be favourably considered, in the first instance, by all who are interested in classical studies in Wales. In drawing up this scheme, we have received much help from our Colleagues in the University of Wales, not only in the Classical Departments, but also in those of French and Welsh: and we have further to acknowledge several valuable suggestions made by Prof. J. P. Postgate and Mr W. G. Rushbrooke, Headmaster of St Olave's School. For the main features of the scheme no originality is claimed: these will be found in all the best grammars recently published, as well as in special works on Greek and Latin pronunciation. It will be understood from what has been said that these pages have a directly practical object and do not profess in any way to be a complete treatise. Hence we have passed by many points which, though interesting in themselves, seem to us to be of secondary importance.
