UNDER RULE XIII.—OF IZE AND ISE.
“Will any able writer authorise other men to revise his works?”—Author.
[FORMULES.—1. Not proper, because the word “authorise” is here written with s in the last syllable, in stead of z. But, according to Rule 13th, “Words ending in ize or ise sounded alike, as in wise and size, generally take the z in all such as are essentially formed by means of the termination.” Therefore, this s should be z; thus, authorize.
2. Not proper again, because the word “revize” is here written with z in the last syllable, in lieu of s. But, according to Rule 13th, “Words ending in ize or ise sounded alike, as in wise and size, generally take the s, in monosyllables, and all such as are essentially formed by means of prefixes.” Therefore, this z should be s; thus, revise.]
