From Chancellor Kerts Eulogy on the author
=" The american Dictionary Of the English Language,
is work of profound invest gatIon 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 other way
in which mortal man could more eileciually secure
Immortality beneath the skies. Obesks, arches, and
trumpha monuments seem TO be as transient as the
bubble of military reputation. No work of art can
Withstand the ncessant strokes OF time. The unTi-
vailed Pauhenon, 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 ACROSS the plains below, and along
the coasts and headlands of Auca, is now crumb-
ling TO ruins after being despoLed Of its most exqui-
site materials by savage war and heartless man.
Even the Pyramids of Egypt, whose origin is bidder
IN the deepest recesses of antiquity, and which have
always stood in awelnsplring solitude and grandeur
arc now annoyed by the depredations of curiosity
and greatly corroded by the action of the elements,
and gradually sinking under the encroachng sands
of the desert This dictionary; and the language
which it embodes will also perish; but will not be
with the gorgeous palaces 1t will 80 with the solemn
tsmpls 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 Vo-
tunes, at the very reduced price OF twelve dollars.
1t is to be understood that for this price the best
paper and type, and the best binding, will he sup.
pIied-the best copies, that is 10 say in all respects.
The very valuable supplement, uhtch is contained
in no other edition than the present one should not be
passed unnotc-d; il contains four thousand words
not giren in any other dictionary was only completed
by DR.. Webster in 1913, Immediately before the
sickness which terminated his valuable life, and has
been published and copyrighted since his death,lby
his executors.
The work is now therefore in finished and com
ple,e state it is not 10 be supposed that any thing
more can or will be added TO IT. the present edition de
fnnp nd illustrating twenty thousand more words
thbn the edition which, when it first issued from tn,
hands Of Dr.. Webster, was acknowledged by thu
English phologists to be the best dictionary N thu
