General note"In ascertaining the orthoëpy of words doubtful or difficult, the compiler has chiefly respected the authorities of Walker and Jones, particularly the latter. ... In the orthography of certain ambiguous cases, simplicity and improvement have been more regarded than custom and prescription, though supported by the respectable names of Johnson and Murray."--Preface, p. VII, dated: Haddonfield, 1st month, 1811.
