Containing a list of all the words made use of in the English Reader; divided, accented, defined, and the part of speech annexed; Alphabetically arranged, and adapted to the Orthography and Pronunciation of Walker.

When a word begins with a vowel, if the syllable end with a consonant, the vowel has its short sound; but if it end with a vowel, it has its long sound. When the pronunciation varies from this rule, a figure is placed before the vowel, which represents the same sound, as if placed above it; as in All, Art, pronounced åll, art.
