From Chancellor Kents Eulogy on the author.
The american Dictionary Of the English Language,
work of profound invest cation, and does infinite
honor to the pathological learning and general lite
ratule of this country. Happy the man who can
thus honorably identity his name with the existence
of our vernacular tongue. There is no other way
in which mortal man could more efectuaIly secure
Immortality beneath the skies. Obcsks, arches and
triumphal monuments seem to be transient 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 Athena cast its
broad splcndors ACROSS the plains below, and along
the coasts and headands of Attica, is now crumb-
ling to ruins, after being despoed of its most exqui-
site materials by savage war and heartless man.
Even the Pyramids of Egypt, whose origin is hidden
in the deepest recesses of antiquity and which have
always stood in awe-nspring 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 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. Ii will 60 with the solemn
tempt 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-
lumes, at the very reduced price Of twelve dollars.
