D'Aubigne)--d[=o]-b[=e]n-y[=a]', not daw-been'. =Daubigny=--d[=o]-b[=e]n-y[=e]', not daw-b[=e]'ny. =Disraeli=--d[)i]z-r[=a]'el-e, not d[)i]z'rel-ee. =Drouyn de Lhuys=--dr[=o][=o]-[)a]ng' deh lwee'. =Gillot=--zh[=e]-y[=o]', not j[)i]l'lot nor j[)i]l-l[=o]'. =Giovanni=--jo-vaen'nee, not je-o-v[)a]n'nee. =Goethe=--pronounced much like guer'teh, leaving out the r; not g[)o]th nor g[=o]th. =Hemans=--h[)e]m'anz, not h[=e]'manz. =Ingelow=--[)i]n'je-l[=o], not [)i]ng'e-l[=o]. =Ivan=--e-vaen', not [=i]'van. =Juarez=--j[=o][=o]-ae'r[)e]z or H[=o][=o]-ae'r[)e]th, not jaw'r[)e]z. =Lancelot=--l[)o]ngss-l[=o]', not l[)a]n'se-l[)o]t. =Lavater=--lae'vae-ter or lae-vae-tair', not l[)a]v'a-ter. =Macleod=--m[)a]k-lowd', not mak-l[=e]'od. =Marat=--mae-rae', not ma-r[)a]t'. =Marion=--m[)a]r'i-on, not m[=a]'ri-on. =Medici=--m[)e]d'e-chee or m[=a]'de-chee, not m[)e]d'i-see nor me-d[=e]'see. =Minie= (Fr.
