From Chancellor Kents Eulsgy on the author.

The .4merioan Dictionary fu.e English Language,
is work of profound invesl alton, and does infinite
honor to the pathological learning and general lite
rauie Of this country. Happy the man who can
hus honorably identity his name with The existence
of our vernacular tongue. There is other way
in which mortal man could more efeciuaily secure
Immortality beneath the skies. Obelisks, arches, and
tIiumphal monument seem TO be transient as the
bubble OF military reputation. No work of art can
Withstand the incessant strokes Of time. The unri-
vailed Parthenon, glowing in polished marble, and
which, for more than two thousand years continued
from the summit of the citadel of Athens cast its
broad splendors acioss the plains below, and along
the coasts and headlands of Attica is crumb-
ling to ruins, after being despoLed Of its e1qu-
size materials by savage war and heartl.ss man.
Even the Pyramids of Egypt, whose origin is bidder
IN the deepest recesses of antiquity, and which have
always stood in swe-nspnng solitude and grandeur
arc now annoyed by the depreda,ions OF curiosity
and greatly corroded by the action of the elements
and gradually sinking under the encroaching sands
OF the desert This dictionary; and the language
which II embodies will also PERISH but ii will no, be
with the gorgeous palaces IL will go with The solemn
tempt and The great globe Itself"
The Publishers of the foregoing work respectfully
announce that they have made arrangements with
Mr. f. Taylor Bookseller, of Washington CITY, to
furnish the American Dictionary, in two large
lumes at the very reduced price oj twelve dollars
IL 10 to be understood that for this price the best
paper and type, and the best binding, will be sup
pled-tte best copies that is 10 say, in all respects.
The very valuable supplement, wheh is contained
IN other edition than the present one should not be
passed unnouced; II contains four thousand words
NOT gipen in any other dictionary; only completed
by Dr. Webster in lS43, immediately before the
sickness which terminated his valuable fe and has
been published and Copyrighted since his deathlby
his executors.
The work IS now therefore in finished and com
peie state, II is not 10 be supposed that any thing
more can or will be added to II; the present edition de-
than the edition which, when 1t hrst issued from the
hands of DR.. Webster was acknowledged by the
Engi-h phlologsts to be the best dictionary IN the
word. L. S. g. G. ADAMS,
