Synopsis
Excerpt from A New Primary Dictionary of the English Language: A Pronouncing and Defining Vocabulary of the Words in Popular Use
This little volume, which is essentially an abstract from the larger Dictionaries of the author, supplemented by comparison with the most recent dictionaries of the United States and Great Britain, contains a pretty full vocabulary of the common and well-authorized words of the English language. The design has been to exhibit the correct orthography and pronunciation, together with a concise definition of the common words of the language, such as are usually found in the standard works of English literature. Words which are obsolete, provincial, vulgar, or not well authorized, and also a great portion of the compound and derivative words of the language, have been omitted, as not necessary or suitable in a manual of this kind.
