to Pronunciation; containing an extensive

Selection of Words, arranged on a new and systematic plan, with copious and accurate definitions. By WILLIAM BIRKIN, Editor of the improved Editions of Jones's Pronouncing Dictionary, Walkingame's Arithmetic, and other

works. 1s. 6d.

In the present work the author has proceeded on a more systematic plan than that of existing expositors: he has included in it Orthography, Pronunciation, Definition, and Etymology; he has exhibited and explained the Analogies and the Distinctions of Words in a lucid and intelligible manner; he has endeavoured to fix the attention and excite the interest of the learner, by a perspicuous mode

of arrangement, and, by reference to principles, "to illus

trate one thing by its resemblance to another," and thus gradually to lead the juvenile mind into "the method of investigation," a desideratum, to supply which would render an acceptable service to the public."

The author submits his work with deference to the candid judgment of enlightened teachers, hoping that it will be found worthy of public approbation.
