With His Majesty's Royal licence, a guide to the English tongue. In two parts. [electronic resource] : The first, proper for beginners, shewing a natural and easy method to pronounce and express both common words, and proper names; in which particular care is had to shew the accent, for preventing vicious pronunciation. The second, for such as are advanced to some ripeness of judgment, containing observations on the sounds of letters and diphthongs; rules for the true division of syllables, and the use of capitals, stops, and marks: with large tables of abbreviations, and distinctions of words; and several alphabets of copies for young writers. To which in new added, an appendix, containing many additional lessons, in prose and verse; first, in words of one syllable only; and then mix'd with words of two, three, four, five, six, and seven syllables: and further improved with new fables and cuts, never before published.
