The new American spelling-book

in three parts. Containing, I. Dilworth's tables of common words, from one to five syllables; together with several tables containing a large number of names of persons, places, towns, counties, townships, rivers, creeks, &c. on this continent; with natural and easy lessons dispersed through the whole, which are adapted to the capacities of small children; and yet so as those of riper years may receive sensible instruction therefrom. II. A collection of words of two, three, and four syllables, divided into three tables, being accented and explained, for the better instructing of youth in the knowledge of words, as well as spelling; together with a large table of words nearly the same in sound, but different in spelling and signification; with reading lessons at the end of each table. III. A very plain and easy introduction to English grammar, particularly adapted to the capacities of youth, and intended for the use of schools.
