A new critical pronouncing dictionary of the English language, containing all the words in general use ... compiled from authors of the most approved reputation, with considerable additions, by an American gentleman

Burlington, N.J.: published by D. Allinson & Co. for themselves; J. P. Parke; Bradford and Inskeep; W. W. Woodward, [et al.], 1813. First edition, large 8vo, pp. xiv, 85, [1], [942]; lexicon in double column, plus chronological tables and errata; minor spotting and staining, full original reversed sheep, red gilt-lettered morocco spine label; generally a very good copy. Based on the work of Johnson and Walker, this dictionary, by a member of a distinguished New Jersey family, is marked by inconsistencies and poor editing. Not unsurprisingly, this is the only edition of it. "A massive but predominantly derivative dictionary, compiled by a youthful (truncated) Coxe largely before reaching eighteen" (Felcone). American Imprints 28239; Felcone 531 (who gives nearly 4 pages to the interesting backstory and the novel binding); Kennedy 6358; Vancil p. 62. (Inventory #: 64368)
