I have, like Mr. Sheridan, made it short;| for though Latin words of two syllables, when adopted into English, always have the accent on the first, and the vowel generally iong, as basis, focus, quota, &c. when words of three| syllables in Latin, with but one consonant in the middle, are anglicised by reducing them to two syllables; as the penultimate in such Latin words is generally short, and the ac-FACTITIOUS, fâk-tish's. a. Made by art, in cent of consequence antepenultimate, the first vowel in the English word is generally short from the shortening power of the entepenultimate accent in our pronunciation of the Latin word from whence it is derived; thus the Latin Mimicus, reduced to the English Mimick, has the first vowel short, though long in Latin, because we think it short in our pronunciation of Latin: the same may be observed of the words florid, vivid, and livid, from the Latin foridus, viridus, and lividus. Thus though Fabrics might have the first vowel long in Latin, vet as we always pronounce it short in the English pronunciation of that language, so, when It is reduced to the English Fabrick, it seems more agreeable to this usage to make the first syllable short.

Dr. Johnson has placed the accent on the last syllable both of this word and Jocund; in which he is consistent, but contrary both to custom and to English analogy. Mr. Sheridan places the accent on the first syllable of Jecund, and on the last of this word. The reasons are the same for accenting both; they both com from the Latin, facundus and jocundus; and there is scarcely a more invariable rule in our language than that of removing the accert higher when we adopt a word from the Latin. and abridge it of its latter syllables.—See Aca
