A key to the classical pronounciation [sic] of Greek, Latin, and scripture proper names; in which the words are accented and divided into syllables exactly as they ought to be pronounced, according to rules drawn from analogy and the best usage. To which are added terminational vocabularies of Hebrew, Greek, and Latin proper names, in which the words are arranged according to their final syllables, and classed according to their accents... concluding with observations on the Greek and Latin accent and quantity with some probable conjectures on the method of freeing them from the obscurity and confusion in which they are involved, both by the ancients and moderns

Boston: published by Farrand, Mallory & Co, 1808. First American from the third London edition, 8vo, pp. 345; contemporary and probably original full sheep, red morocco label lettered in gilt on spine, covers with several scrapes along fore-edges, wear to extremities, and very minor scattered foxing to text, overall good and sound. Another first American from the third London edition also appeared in 1808, published in Philadelphia by Hopkins and Earle. Published separately here, the Key was usually added, with its own title, to Walker's Critical Pronouncing Dictionary. It was reprinted separately as late as 1881, and was used by Johnson, Worcester, and Webster in different editions of their own dictionaries. (Inventory #: 25053)
