To which is prefixed, grammatical introduction to the English tongue. By the Rev. John Entick, A.M. editor of littleton's Latin and English dictionaries, and schrevelius's Greek Lexicon. New Edition, greatly enlarged; and to which is now added, a list of all the cities, boroughs, and Market towns in England and Wales: the days on which their markets are held; and how far distant from London in measured miles.
