The new English tutor: or, Modern preceptor. Consisting of orthography (or the art of spelling and reading) digested into a practical system, under a few plain easy rules, which any child must be capable of retaining. Observations on the particular powers of letters, and of such as vary in their uses and sounds, according to their different positions, the uses of the quiescent letters, &c. All exemplified by lessons, or exercises under them, methodized to advance a learner in the readiest manner to read a modern author. Also, a practical abstract of English grammar. This work is beautified with fine copper-plate cuts, representing such vices as children are most addicted to, and such virtues as should be first inculcated: Likewise several fable cuts, with striking lessons, referring to each particular passion, &c.
