Item description from seller

Entick spent most of his life as a writer, mainly for the bookseller Edward Dilly (1732 - 79). It was no doubt thanks to Dilly's extensive trade with America that the speller made its way across the Atlantic." [Green. Chasing the Sun, p. 286] Also of note, further in Green [pp. 309, 313], it is said that Entick influenced Noah Webster with respect to his subsequent, and grand, lexicographical project.
