A complete and comprehensive spelling-dictionary of the English language, on the newest plan; for the use of young gentlemen, ladies, and others. Teaching to Spell and Write the Language with great Exactness, by Means of few more than the Primitive Words. So that in Learning to Spell about Nine Thousand Words many Times the Number will be known with Certainty, their Dependance on each other shewn, and the Genius of the Language laid open; by which the Memory will not only be greatly eas'd and assisted, but much Time and Trouble in attaining the Language sav'd. The whole being duely accented, to prevent vicious Pronunciation; the Number of Syllables, in every Word, fully ascertain'd; and the Part, or Parts, of Speech to which each Word properly belongs always noted. To which is prefix'd, a compendious English grammar; with a history of the language. Much in Little. By Samuel Hammond; Schoolmaster in Nottingham. Author of the New Introduction to Learning, &c.
