Words both common and proper from one to six Syllables: The several Sorts of Monosyllables in the common Words being distinguished by Tables, into Words of two, three, and four Letters, &c. with six short Lessons at the End of each Table, not exceeding the order of Syllables in the foregoing Tables. The several Sorts of Pollysyllables also being ranged in proper Tables, have their Syllables divided, and Directions placed at the Head of each Table for the Accent, to prevent false Pronunciation; together with the like Number of Lessons on the foregoing Tables, placed at the End of each Table, as far as to Words of four Syllables, for the easier and more speedy Way of teaching Children to read.

IV. An useful Collection of Sentences in Prose and Verse; Divine, Moral and Historical; together with a select Number of Fables, adorned with proper Sculptures, for the better Improvement of Young Beginners. And, V. Forms of prayer for children, on several Occasions. The Whole being recommended by several Clergymen and eminent Schoolmasters, as the most useful Performance for the Instruction of Youth, is designed for the use of schools in Great Britain, Ireland, and in the several English Colonies and Plantations abroad. The thirty-seventh edition. By Thomas Dilworth, Author of the Schoolmaster's Assistant; Young Book-Keeper's Assistant, &c. &c. and Schoolmaster in Wapping.

Baptism, and the Lord's Supper, according to the Notion that the Church of England has of them, in Contradistinction from other Churches, but especially the Church of Rome, and the People called Quakers.
