Also An Explication of hard and technical Words, or Terms, in all Arts and Sciences: with Accents directing to their proper Pronunciation, shewing both the Orthography and Orthoepia of the English Tongue.

To which is added, An additional Collection of proper Names of Persons and Places in Great Britain, &c. with their Etymologies and Explications. The Whole digested into an Alphabetical Order, not only for the Information of the Ignorant, but the Entertainment of the Curious; and also the Benefit of Artificers, Tradesmen, Young Students and Foreigners. A Work useful for such as would Understand what they Read and Hear, Speak what they Mean, and Write true English. Vol. II. The third edition with many additions, by N. Bailey, [Greek]. .
