The present edition 1 is wholly new cast and composed; very considerably enlarged by additional materials; and, as I trust, improved by a distribution of those materials which was intended to increase the facility of reference.

It consists of nearly 6000 primitive words, exclusive of the inflexions of verbs, &c., making in all upwards Of 30,000 real words; the sentences have also been extended to about 6000, with 1500 syllables, a Geographical Table, a Table of Technical Terms, a Table of Stores and Provisions, and a Spare Table for Local Significations.
