Entick's new spelling dictionary, : teaching to write and pronounce the English tongue with ease and propriety: in which each word is accented according to its just and natural pronunciation; the part of speech is properly distinguished, and the various significations are ranged in one line; with a list of proper names of men and women. The whole compiled and digested in a manner entirely new, to make it a complete pocket companion for those who read Milton, Pope, Addison, Shakespeare, Tillotson, and Locke, or other English authors of repute in prose or verse: and in particular to assist young people, artificers, tradesmen and foreigners, desirous of understanding what they speak, read and write. To which is prefixed, a grammatical introduction to the English tongue. A new edition. Revised, corrected, and enlarged. To which is added, a catalogue of words of similar sounds, but of different spellings and significations. /

Presumably a direct piracy of an English edition, probably the 492 page London 1793 edition. No attempt has been made at localisation and there is a list of all the cities and boroughs in England and Wales at the end. The imprint suggests that this was intended for the local Edinburgh market, whereas another, almost identical, Edinburgh 1794 edition (National Library of Scotland shelfmark: AB.1.215.144) was intended as an export edition for the United States.
