From Chans,ilor ktnis Eulogy on The author.

The american Dictionary Of the English Language
is work of profound invcstig alton and does in6n
honor to the pathological learning and general lite
ratuie Of this country Happy the who can
lhus honorabiy idenufy bis name with the existence
of our vernscular tongue. There is no other way
in which mortal man could more efecluaIly secure
Immortality benet III the skies. Obelisks, arches and
tlumpha monuments seem to be as transient as the
bubble OF military reputation. No work Of art can
Withstand the ince,ssnt 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 10 cast its
broad splendors acoss the plains below and along
the coasts and headands of Auica is now crumb-
ling TO ruins, after being despoed Of most eIqui-
site materials by savage war and hrnrtl,ss man
Even the Pyramids of Egypt, whose origin is bidder
in the deepest recesses of Antiquity and which have
always stood in awe-lnsplring solitude and grandeur
are now annoyed by the depredalions of curiosity,
and greatly corroded by the action of the eleme nts
and gradually sinking under the encroaching sands
OF the desert This dictionary; and the language
which It embodes will also PERISH but 1t will not be
with the gorgeous palaces. It will go with the solemn
te'npts and The great globe Itself"
The Publishers Of the foregoing work respectfully
announce that they have made arrangements with
Mr.. +. Taylor, Bookseller of Washington city, to
furnish the American Dictionary, in Two large yo-
lumes, at the very reduced price OF twelve dollars.
1t Is TO be understood that for this price the best
paper and type, and the hest binding will be sup
pled-hs best copies, that is TO say in all respects,
The very valuable supplement, tchich is contained
in no other edition than The present one, should not be
passed unnotced; it contains four thousand words,
gpen in any other dictionary; only completed
by Or. Webster in 1913, Immediately before the
sickness " hch terminated his valuable life, and has
been published and Copyrighted, since his death,lby
his executors .F
The work is now therefore in a finished and COM
plee state, il is not 10 be supposed that any thing
more can will be added to III the present edition de-
fning and Illustrating twenty thousand more ords
than the edition which, when it first issued from the
hands of Dr. Webster, was acknowledged by the
Engh philologists to be the bes, dictionary in the
world. L. 8. g. G. ADAMS,
