Wherein Words of several Syllables are so divided, that the Sound of each Syllable, when joined together, shall lead the Scholar into the true and correct Pronunciation of every Word: Which the common Methods of Dividing (heretofore used) will not admit of; consequently must cause a false and vicious Pronunciation. Containing A greater Number of Spelling Pages than what is usual in other Spelling Books; each Word properly accented. The Whole interspersed with proper easy Lessons of one, two, three, and more Syllables: Lessons of Morality in Prose and Verse, on different Virtues, &c.
