Author Dyche, Thomas, -approximately 1733.

Title A guide to the English tongue [microform] : In two parts. The first proper for beginners: shewing a natural and easy method to pronounce and express both common words and proper names; in which particular care is had to shew the accent, for preventing vicious pronunciation. The second, for such as are advanced to some ripeness of judgement, containing observations on the sounds of letters and dipthongs; rules for the true division of syllables; and the use of capitals, stops, and marks: with large tables of abbreviations and distinctions of words; and several alphabets of copies, for young writers. To which is added, an appendix, containing many additional lessons in prose and verse; first, in words of one syllable only; and then mixed with words of two, three, four, five, six, and seven syllables; the whole improved with new fables and cuts, &c. never before published by authority / By T. Dyche, schoolmaster, at Stratford, Bow.
