The summary of the first book, Letters to Squire Pedant in the East, is "The author wrote this imaginary correspondence so that students might learn new vocabulary words more easily by presenting them in context rather than in lists of definitions." More of a string of examples than a real life use. In Proceedings of the Liverpool Literary and Philosophical Society the context is discussion of the meaning of an ancient word. And in University of Colorado Historical Collections it is a different word, possibly a typo for or archaic form of a sense of lead. Vox Sciurorum (talk) 22:56, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
