A new general English dictionary; peculiarly calculated for the use and improvement of such as are unacquainted with the learned languages. Wherein the difficult words, and technical terms made use of in anatomy, architecture ... sculpture, surgery, &c. are not fully explained, but accented on their proper syllables, to prevent a vicious pronunciation, and marked with initial letters, to denote the part of speech to which each word peculiarly belongs. To which is prefixed, A compendious English grammar ... The Thirteenth Edition
