Excerpt from A General Pronouncing Dictionary: Shewing at One View the Orthography, Accentuation, Explanation and Pronunciation of All the Purest and Most Approved Terms in the English Language, According to the Present Practice of the Most Eminent Lexicographers and Philologists
Every sheet has been critically examined before it was com witted to the press, and minutely corrected before its com pletiorn From local circumstances we have been peculiarly enabled to distinguish with precision the southern from -the northern expression of the vowels; and the Whole has been modelled to the best standard of our language. In this edition we have introduhed the apostrophe, where two syllables at the end of words are usually contracted in pronunciation into one, and the pronouncing characters have been equaily attended to but in all those contracted syllables where the common accent, which has been strictly regarded, coincides with the apostrophe, the latter is omitted. Several pages of additional words are introduced in their proper places, precisely defined and mark ed; a very few anomalous cases excepted, which bid defiance to all general rules, where the nearest approved sounds'are Specified. With these advantages, we feel confident that our labours will be properly appreciated.
To this edition are annexed some thoughts on the British empire and constitution, with a list of cities, boroughs, and market towns, and their distances from the respective extre mities of London, and some other useful matters; and to the whole are prefixed a concise table of words of similar sound, and of the usual abbreviations occurring in printed books of this nature.
