Table of Contents:
- I. Tables of words in one, two, three, and four syllables, with natural and easy lessons in each, adapted to the capacity of children from three years old and upwards, and yet so full of sense, that such as can already read, may receive very material instruction from them, comprehending a variety of passages both on moral and divine subjects, as also fables and pleasant stories, in order to improve the mind and the understanding
- II. A very easy and rational guide to English grammar, by way of question and answer, for the use of schools as well as private persons, by which any one may soon become acquainted with the English tongue, with very little trouble and application
- III. A collection of nearly 5000 of the most useful words of two, three, and four syllables, viz. nouns, substantives, adjectives, and verbs (placed alphabetically under their respective heads) which are accented and explained for the better instruction of youth, and information of such persons as would know the meaning of what they read and write
- IV. Alphabetical copies, and writing pieces, both in prose and verse, with a few useful prayers and hymns for children, and some short remarks upon the seven stages of life, which are not only improving to the mind and morals, but may be of great service to prevent youth from falling a sacrifice to the common temptations of life and their own unbridled passions
- Lastly, tables of sovereigns of England since the Conquest, and of the present royal family, with a chronology of remarkable occurrences.
