The whole compiled and digested in a manner entirely new, to make it a complete pocket companion for those Who read Milton, Pope, Addison, Shakespeare, Tillotson and Locke, or other English Authors of Repute in Prose or Verse: And in particular to assist young People, Artificers, Tradesmen and Foreigners, desirous to understand what they speak, read and write. To which is prefixed, a grammatical introduction to the English Tongue. By the Rev. Joh Entick, A. M. Editor of Littleton's Latin and English Dictionary and Schrevelius's Greek Lexicon. Carefully revised and corrected; to which with the former Additions, is now first subjoined, chiefly extracted from Doctor Ash's large octavo Dictionary-A Compendious Historical Dictionary of the Heathen Gods and Goddesses, Heroes and Heroines, &c
