DescriptionTeaching 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. A new edition. Revised, corrected, and enlarged. To which is added, a catalogue of word of similar sounds, but of different spellings and significations. / By William Crakelt, M.A. Rector of Nursted and Ifield in Kent..
