Reading made quite easy and diverting. Containing symbolical cuts for the alphabet, tables of words of one, two, three and four syllables, with easy lessons from the Scriptures, at the End of each Table, not exceeding the Order of Syllables in the foregoing Tables; instructive Fables and edifying Pieces of Poetry, with Songs, moral and divine, from I. Watts. Methodically digested; and calculated after the manner prescribed by the great Mr. Locke, to gain the Attention of Children, who being cozened or cheated into a Love of Learning, by the Humour of the Narration, are almost insensibly led on to read the longest Words with Ease and Pleasure. To which is added, The Church Catechism, With several entertaining Stories, Proverbs, moral Sayings, Riddles, &c. and curious alphabetical Gimcraks. A new edition, new modelled, greatly enlarged and improved: By Tom Thumb, a Lover of Children, W. Weild, and others.
