From Chancellor Kenfs Eulogy on the author.

The .4merican Dictionary Of the English Language,
is work of profound invest CATION and does infinite
honor to the pathological learning and general lite
rature of this country. Happy the man who can
thus honoraby identity his name with the existence
of our vernacular tongue. There is no other way
in which mortal man could more efectually secure
Immortality beneat the skies. Obelisks, arches, and
triumphal monuments seem to be transient as the
bubble of military reputation. No work OF art can
Withstand the incessant strokes Of time. The unri-
vailed Par,henon glowing in polished marble, and
which, for more than two thousand years continued
from the summit of the citadel of Athens to cast its
broad splendors ACROSS the plains below, and alng
the coasts and headIands of Atica, is now crumb-
ling to ruins after being desPohed of its most enqui-
size materials by savage war and heartsss man.
Even the Pyramids of Egypt, whose origin is hidden
IN the deepest of antiquity, and which have
ALWAYS stood in awe-ipsplrng 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 it embodies will also perish; but it will not be
with the gorgeous palaces. 1t will 60 with the solemn
tempi.s and The great globe Itself"
The Publishers Of the foregoing work respectfully
announce that they have made arrangements with
MIR. r, TAYLOR, Bookseller, of Washington city, tc
furnish the American Dictionary, In two large vo
tunes, at the very reduced price OF twelve dollars.
IL is 10 be understood that for this price the bes
paper and type, and the best binding will be sup
pIied-ths best copies that is TO say in all respects.
The very valuable supplement, which IS confa'ne'
in no other edition than the present one, should not b.
passed unnotced; it contains four thousand words
not given in any other dictionary; was only completed
| by Dr. Webster in IS43, Immediately before tb
sickness which terminated his valuable life, and ha
been published and copyrighted, since his death,lbl
| his executors.
| The work is now therefore in finished and com
plete state it is not 10 be supposed that any thin
more can or will be added to it, the present edition dc
