well as I could into these Tables all simple things and notions by a Consideration of them a Priori I then judged it necessary to attempt the reduction of a●l other Words in the Dictionary to these Tables either as they were Synonymous to them or to be defined by them which would be a means to try the fulness of these Tables and consequently to supply their defects And besides a great help to Learners who without such a direction might not perhaps at first be able to find out the true place and notion of many Words For the farther compleating of this Work I found it necessary to take into consideration the framing of such a Natural Grammar as might be suited to the Philosophy of Speech abstracting from those many unnecessary rules belonging to instituted Language which proved a matter of no small difficulty considering the little help to be had for it from those few Authors who had before undertaken to do any thing in this kind In the doing of these things I have not neglected any help that I could procure from others and must acknowledge my self much ingaged to sundry Learned Men of my acquaintance for their directions and furtherance in such matters as were most suitable to their several Studies and Professions Amongst the rest I must not forget to make particular mention of the special assistance I have received in drawing up the Tables of Animals from that most Learned and Inquisitive Gentleman a worthy Member of the Royal Society Mr. Francis Willoughby who hath made it his particular business in his late Travails through the most considerable parts of Europe to inquire after and understand the several species of Animals and by his own Observations is able to advance that part of Learning and to add many things to what hath been formerly done by the most Learned Authors in this kind And as for those most difficult Tables of Plants I have received the like assistance from one of his Companions in Travail Mr. John Wray Late Fellow of Trinity Colledge in Cambridge who besides his other general Knowledge hath with great success applyed himself to the Cultivating of that part of Learning And as for the principal difficulties which I met with in any other part of this Work I must acknowledge my self obliged to the continual assistance I have had from my most Learned and worthy Friend Dr. William Lloyd then whom so far as I am able to judge this Nation could not have afforded a fitter Person either for that great Industry or Accurate judgment both in Philological and Philosophical matters required to such a Work And particularly I must wholy ascribe to him that tedious and difficult task of suting the Tables to the Dictionary and the drawing up of the Dictionary it self which upon tryal I doubt not will be found to be the most perfect that was ever yet made for the English Tongue And here I think it proper to give notice that there are several Words mentioned in the Dictionary and frequently used amongst some Authors which are yet very questionable as to their fitness and propriety Each of these were in the Original Coppy marked with an Asterisk for the better distinction of them but by some oversight these marks have been omitted in the Impression If any shall suggest that some of the Enquiries here insisted upon as particularly those about the Letters of the Alphabet do seem too minute and trivial for any prudent Man to bestow his serious thoughts and time about Such Persons may know that the discovery of the true nature and Cause of any the most minute thing doth promote real Knowledge and therefore cannot be unfit for any Mans endeauours who is willing to contribute to the advancement of Learning Vpon which Account some of the most eminent Persons in several Ages who were Men of business have not disdained to bestow their pains about the First Elements of Speech Julius Caesar is said to have written a Book de Analogia And the Emperour Charles the Great to have made a Grammar of his vulgar Tongue So did St. Basil for the Greek and St. Austin for the Latin both extant in their Works Besides divers of great reputation both Ancient and Modern who have Written whole Books on purpose concerning the just Number of the Letters in the Alphabet Others have applyed their disquisitions to some particular Letters Messala Corvinus a Great Man and a famous Orator amongst the Romans Writ a Book concerning the Letter S.

Mr. Franklyn hath published a particular Discourse concerning Accents And Erycius Puteanus hath Written a Book purposely de Inter punctione of the true way of Pointing Clauses and Sentences And these Generally well esteemed for their great usefulness in the Promoting of Learning Which may be a sufficient Vindication against any Prejudices of this Nature THE CONTENTS The First Part Containing the Prolegomena CHAPTER I.
