The new spelling dictionary, teaching to write and pronounce the English tongue with ease and propriety; [In] which each word is accented according to its just and natural pronunciation; the part of speech is properly distinguished, and the various significations are ranged in one line; with [a] list of proper names of men and women. The whole compiled and digested in a manner entirely new, to make it a complete pocket companion for those who read Milton, Pope, Addison, Shakespeare, Tillotson and Locke, or other English authors of repute in prose or verse: and in particular to assist young people, artificers, tradesmen and foreigners, desirous of understanding what they speak, read and write. To which is prefixed, A grammatical introduction to the English tongue. By the Rev. John Entick, A.M. editor of Littleton's Latin and English dictionary and Schrevelius's Greek Lexicon[.]
