(8), 200, (1) pp. Originaludgaven af Niels von Hauen hovedværk hvormed han påbegyndte den "den ortografiske fejde" med Th. Clitau."(Niels von Haven) gjorde sit navn kendt ved udgivelsen af Et lidet orthographisk Lexicon eller Ord-Bog, 1741, ikke mindst fordi dette leksikon gav anledning til "den ortografiske fejde" mellem v.H. og Th. Clitau og som derpå foranledigede J. P. Høysgaards første skrift. Bogen indeholder et forslag om afskaffelse af store bogstaver undtagen ved egennavne, og af verbernes flertalsformer. Samtidig er den et interessant forsøg på at sammenstille homonymer, enslydende, men forskelligt stavede ord. Det er ikke helt vellykket, men det giver ved sine sammenstillinger, tit også ved direkte oplysninger, sproghistorisk værdifuld besked om rigsmålsudtalen i Odense omkr. 1750, ligesom det indeholder en stor del ordsprog og talemåder."
