John Walker, A Critical Pronouncing Dictionary… (1806)
“ The favourable reception it has met with from the Public, demands my warmest acknowledgements; but at the same time makes me regret the diminished value of the former Editions, from the various corrections and improvements in this; but the judicious and candid observer will acknowledge, that a work comprehending such an infinite number of nice distinctions, and minute particulars, which (as Dr. Lowth observes) often escape observation when they are most obvious, would naturally admit of several corrections and amendments in future Editions. ”
