PREFACE. 
 
 The Publisher of the present volume, having com- 
 pleted the series of Spelling books, which he had in 
 I view, and submitted them to the public, has been 
 induced to believe, from the favourable reception 
 they have met with, as well as from other considera- 
 tions, that an Expositor or selection of words, proper- 
 ly accentuated and explained, would not only form a 
 valuable addition to the former series, as a spelling book, 
 but would £rove acceptable in our schools as a book of 
 definitions. This opinion has been sanctioned by sev- 
 eral persons, whose experience in teaching gives weight 
 to their approbation. 
 
 The present collection has been arranged by two 
 teachers in New- York. Their object has been to make 
 a copious selection of the most useful words in our lan- 
 guage ; to mark the accent and pronunciation confornv 
 able to our best authorities, and in the definitions. to 
 combine as far as practicable, brevity with precision. Such 
 words as would offend the ear of delicacy in mixed 
 schools, have been carefully omitted. 
 
 The list of scientific terms, the publisher presumes, 
 will be considered as no small recommendation to a 
 work of this kind. When we reflect upon that grow- 
 ing attention to many of the liberal sciences which has 
 r^' Vp d the progress of education for several years past, 
 
&* PREFACE, 
 
 and take into view the facility which an early acquaint- 
 ance with terms affords to the acquisition of knowledge, 
 it is not a little surprising, that greater pains have not 
 been tak*:n in our common schools, to make the most 
 useful terujs of science familiar to our youth. 
 
 In the size and price of the book, regard has been 
 bad to economy, and to the convenience of learners.
