Printed on the title page: "Things which the eye distinguishes by their shapes, would be best let into the mind by drawings made of them, and better determine the signification of such words, than any other words set for them, or made use of to define them." -- John Locke on the Abuse of Words

| Contextual Notes | The preface of this book refers to the teaching profession as "the least regarded of all useful occupations." This perhaps explains the numerous efforts to make the job easier by coming up with "new" teaching methods such as this dictionary. |
