Book Description

Excerpt from The American Phonetic Dictionary of the English Language: Adapted to the Present State of Literature and Science; With Pronouncing Vocabularies of Classical, Scriptural, and Geographical Names The foreigner will be enabled, by the aid of this Dictionary, to pronounce any word he may see in the common print, and read correctly the definition; which cannot be said of any other English dictionary. This peculiar feature of the work will commend itself to the missionary, who now finds it almost impossible to teach the foreigner our language.
