To which is added, At the Beginning (according to the polite Stile of Scribbling) Tom Thumb's touch upon the hard word etymology: With some Scraps of its Nature for the better understanding a fashionable Dialect of Words without Meaning and Hieroglyphicks.

By Tom Thumb, Secretary, lately-arriv'd from the Cape of Good Hope, in the Egg-Shell-Pacquet Boat. Supervis'd and corrected by Will Blunderbuss of Addle-Inn, Esq; one of the Society.
