Literature, Science, and the Arts, as it is necessary everybody
should have acquaintance with. It is, in short, a little volume

pronunciation of every word at a glance, without having to stop to
think, or being in any danger of mistake. While the insertion of
the pronunciation constitutes a leading feature in this Dictionary,
it has other excellencies, the aim of the Editor having been
to make it as practically useful as possible to persons of all
classes. Also to be had in Numbers at 3d., and Parts at 1s. Cases
for binding the Volume, 9d. each.

into the space of this Dictionary, without in any way sacrificing
