The improved edition of Johnson's Dj6iion-
AIRY which is now offered TO the public, has some
advantages over every o:her that has heretofore
appeared; which the editor hopes, will ensure it
just and general preference.
Anunion OF certain rules of pronunciation
with Johrson's ample definitions and authorities.
rs form in which the oeavo edition has never
appeared and is sufficient, the editor presumes.
TO found his pretensions originality and inn
proveniens
In noting the pronunciation, Walkers Critical
Prononneing Dictionary has been the general
guide; but where words occurred not 10 be
found in that (of which tire instances were nu.
mercus) other sources have been investigated
particularly Marchbank's Quasto Edition Of 1898,
and the pronunciation of ihose words carefulIy
regulated by Waiksr's directions.
In point of correctness, the editor considers
himself JUSTIFIED from the unrcmitting attention
bestowed upon the work, TO claim for il pre-.
cminence over every edition which has come
within his notice. lntiie course cfthe work, diff.
ferent editions of Johnson's Dictionary were cf.
ten consulted, and that the deriyations nigh, be
as correct as possible, frequent recurrence was
! had TO the most approved Dictionaries of the 70.
reign languages, in which the original words are
found, especially the Greek. Latin, French and
German.
That it Is entirely faultless is not to be sxnea-
eds bur il IS certainly free from many inaccnra.
cies which appear in the various editions witt,
which It was compared.
