1 There are survivals. Harper's Latin Dictionary (s.v., causa, natura, etc.), copyright in 1907, still uses the circumflex to indicate the ablative singular according to the rule I give.

2 I wish to thank Dom Anselm Strittmatter for allowing me to see the table of accents he used in editing Milton's Pro populo Anglicano defensio secunda and Prose defensio for the Columbia edition of Milton's Works. These volumes exemplify seventeenth-century use of the mock accents.
