The Whole compiled and digested in a Manner entirely new, So as to make it A Complete Pocket Companion ... 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 comprehensive grammar of the English tongue; and a catalogue of words of similar sounds, but of different spellings and Significations. By William Crakelt, M. A.
