Hebster's Dictionary.-This highly useful work has undergone very critical and able examination, m late number of the Westminster Reoie,c in which its great merits spoken of in terms of the warm est commendation. We think it not unlikely to su- persede the work of the mortal English Lexicogra- pher, for obvious reasons. It reflects no small dis tincton upon country that the talent, learning and patient research which it necessary bring to such work, should thus have been found abun- dany possessed by writer and scholar of our own. MT WEBSTER has also improved, we think, upon the orthography of great many words, and the style of the wriaen language promises to receive several important emendations at his hands. The practice recommended by BARLOW, in the preface to his Co!unbad, in emitting certain letters the u' among others, in the words in use is worthy of general adoption, as having tendency to abbrevi- ate and simplify our language. The Greeks had far better notions upon this subject than we, with all
 the lights derived from them, and afforded by suc- ceedlng times, seems destined ever to attain to- While upon this subject, we would commend the Ladies' LericOn as admirable and convenient guide to the still mazy intricaces of our language

American Journai of Science &. Arts.
 BY PROFESSOR R. SIIIIMAN

NNHlS work was projected in 1917, and u commenced in July, 1918. Before that period; no Original Journal of Science had ap- peared in this country, except that of Dr BRUCE, which was limeted to Mineraogy, and ceased with the completion of the first vo- lume. The American Journal has been sus- tained more than eleven years, until it has reached it's twentieth volume.
 There is sufficient evidence to shew, that it has essentially promoted some of our most i'm portant national interests. It is ktiown and accredited, not only at hone, but in the most enlightened countries of Europe; and as the leading Foreign Journals of Science are sent in exchange, and frequently quote from it's pages, it has become thus identified with the progress of the Science and Arts of the pre- sent day.
 TERMs,-The terms are three dollars d volume in advance, and there are two volumes 8vo. year, of two Nos. each; they were ori- ginally stipulated to contain 320 pages, but have averaged more than 400.
 The reason why the price of this Journal is one dollar higher than that of the American Quarterly Review is, that the plates and composition make it more expensive, while the patronage is more limited.
 Complete sets of all the back volumes can be furnished, at a suitable discount, either in numbers or in half or full binding.
 A number of the work will h. 1;,., s1fi. gratis, as specimen, when desired.
