Synopsis

A General Pronouncing And Explanatory Dictionary Of The English Language, by Stephen Jones, offers a comprehensive resource for students and non-native speakers alike. Building upon the work of Mr. Sheridan, this dictionary aims to improve upon existing methods of English language instruction during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

This historical dictionary provides insight into the English language as it was spoken and understood centuries ago. A valuable tool for historical linguists, students of literature, and anyone interested in the evolution of the English language, this volume captures a pivotal moment in the standardization and dissemination of English pronunciation. It is a fascinating glimpse into the lexicographical practices and pedagogical approaches of the era.
