ADICTIONARY et the •ENGLISH LAN-
GUAGE, containing the Pronunciation, Etymology, and
Explanation of all•WordS authorised by' eminent Writers ' • to which
are added, a Vivabulary of the Roots of English Words, and an
Accented List of Greek, Latin, an 1 Scripture Proper Names. By
ALEXANDER REID, A M., Rector of the.Clrcus-place School,
Edinburgh, Autlior of " Rudiments of English Composition," &c.

In this Work, to which the Author has devoted the labour of se-
veral years, an attempt has been made to compile a School Dic-
tionary adapted to the present state of the English language, and to
the improved methods of teaching. It contains every word which
has been sanctioned by the use of eminent authors, except such as
have become obsolete, or are merely technical. While the usual
alphabetical arrangement is preserved, the words are at the same
time grouped in such a manner as to show their etymologies,
affinity; and after the first word of each group, is given the root
from which they are derived. These roots are afterwards arranged
into a Vocabulary; so that the Dictionary may be used either for
reference, or for teaching Derivation. The Pronunciation, which is
indicated by a simple notation, is that of Walker, unless when the
latter differs from prevailing usage, or from the majority of compe-
tent authorities. The Classical and Scripture Proper Names are
printed in • one list, and are divided into syllables, and accented as
they ought to be pronounced.

ONE HUNDRED and THIRTY THOU-
SAND.—The daily circulation of LES DEBATS, PRESSE,
CONSTITUTIONNEL, and SIECLE, being upwards of 130,000,
presents a most important channel for all classes of advertisers to
give extensive publicity to their announcements throughout every
part of Europe. _ _

The Contractors have reduced their scale of charges, and appointed
Mr. WILLIAM THOMAS, 21, Catherine-street, Strand, their Agent
for England, from whom dill particulars can be obtained.

BURGESS'S NEW SAUCE, for general pur-
poses, having gained such great approbation, and the demand
for it continuing to increase, JOHN BURGESS and SON beg most
respecqully to offer thus their best acknowledgments to the rune
for their liberal patronage of the same ; its utility and great conveni-
ence in all climates have recommended to the most distinguished
oreign connections, who have all spoken highly in its recommenda-
tion. It is prepared by them only ; and for preventing disappoint-
ment to families, all possible care has been resorted•to, by each
bottle being sealed on the cork with their firm and address, as well
as each label having their signature, without which it cannot be
genuine.
JOHN BURGESS and SON'S long-established and much-esteemed
ESSENCE of ANCHOVIES continues to be prepared by them after
the same rwiner that has given the greatest satisfaction for many
Years.
