The New World of Words: Or Universal English Dictionary is a comprehensive dictionary compiled by Edward Phillips and originally published in 1720. The dictionary is designed to provide a comprehensive reference for the English language, including definitions, pronunciations, and etymologies for thousands of words. The book is organized alphabetically, with each entry providing detailed information on the word's meaning, usage, and history. The dictionary also includes a variety of supplementary materials, such as lists of proper names, foreign words and phrases, and technical terms from various fields. The New World of Words was one of the earliest and most influential English dictionaries, and it played a key role in standardizing the language and establishing a common vocabulary for writers and speakers throughout the English-speaking world. Today, it remains a valuable resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the history and development of the English language.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
