To shun allurments is not hard,
      To minds resolv’d, forwarn’d, and well prepared.

RULE IX.  When words ending in silent e, assume the termination, able or ible, the e should generally be cut off; as, blame, blamable; cure, curable; sense, sensible.  But if c or g soft comes before e in the original word, the e is preserved in words compounded with able; as, peace, peaceable; change, changeable.

    False Orthography.—­Knowledge is desireable.—­Misconduct is
    inexcuseable.—­Our natural defects are not chargable upon us.—­We
    are made to be servicable to others as well as to ourselves.

RULE X. When ing or ish is added to words ending in silent e, the e is almost always omitted; as, place, placing; lodge, lodging; slave, slavish; prude, prudish.

    False Orthography.—­Labor and expense are lost upon a droneish
    spirit.—­An obligeing and humble disposition, is totally unconnected
    with a servile and cringeing humor.

      Conscience anticipateing time,
      Already rues th’ unacted crime. 
      One self-approveing hour, whole years outweighs
      Of stupid starers, and of loud huzzas.

RULE XI.  Compound words are generally spelled in the same manner as the simple words of which they are compounded; as, glasshouse, skylight, thereby, hereafter.  Many words ending in double l, are exceptions to this rule; as, already, welfare, wilful, fulfil; and also the words, wherever, christmas, lammas, &c.

    False Orthography.—­The Jew’s pasover was instituted in A.M.
    2513.—­They salute one another by touching their forheads.—­That
    which is some times expedient, is not allways so.

      Then, in the scale of reasoning life ’tis plain,
      There must be, somwhere, such a rank as man. 
      Till hymen brought his lov-delighted hour,
      There dwelt no joy in Eden’s rosy bower. 
        The head reclined, the loosened hair,
        The limbs relaxed, the mournful air:—­
        See, he looks up; a wofull smile
        Lightens his wo-worn cheek awhile.
