Synopsis A Critical Pronouncing Dictionary, and Expositor of the English Language ... by : John Walker

A dictionary in which every meaning of every word is explained, and the sound of every syllable distinctly shown, but where words are subject to different pronunciation, the authorities of our best pronouncing dictionaries are fully exhibited, the reasons for each are at large displayed, and the preferable pronunciation pointed out. Also, The sounds of letters, syllables, an dwords are critically investigated and systematically arranged, the influence of Greek and Latin on English is thoroughly examined and clearly defined, and the analogies of the language are so fully shown as to lay the foundation of a consistent and rational pronunciation.
