The -1D.ertean Dictionary Of the English Language
is work of profound and does inb nte
honor TO the pathological learning and general lite
ratule Of this country. Happy the man who can
thu. honorabls identify has name with the existence
Of our vernaeular tongue. There is no other way
In which mortal could more ehectoally secure
immortality beneath the skies. Obeiisks, arches, and
triumphal nts seem TO be transient as the
bubble of military reputation. No work OF art can
withs and the lneessant strokes Of time. The unn-
vailed Parhenon, glowing la polished marble, and
which, for than I~o thousand years coniinued
from the summit Of the citadel Of Athens 10 cast Its
broad splendors acioss the plains below and along
the coasts and hcadlands of Attioa, Is crumb
ling to ruins, after being despoied Of Its most exqu-
site materials by savage war and heartless man.
Even the Pyramids of Egypt, whose origin Is bidder
in the deepest of antiquity, and which have
always stood in awe-nspirng solitude and grandeur,
are 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 Il embodies will also PERISH but II will not be
with the gorgeous palaces. 1t viii go with the solemn
Temples 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, ia two large so-
lumes, at the very reduced price OF twelve dollars.
Ii is to be understood that for this price the best
paper and type, and the best binding will be sup
pied-us best copies, that IS TO say Ia all respects.
The very valuable supplement, Which IS contained
Ia other edition than The present one, should not be
passed unnouced; il contains four thousand words,
not gpen in any other dictionary; only completed
by DIR. Webster in 1913, Immediately before the
sickness " hch terminated bis valuable life, and has
been published and copy -righted, since his death,iby
his executors.
The work is now therefore in finished and com
pe,e state, It is not 10 be supposed that any thing
more can will be added to it, the present edition de
fining lnd Illustrating twenty thousand more words
than the edition which, when it hrst issued from the
hands of DR.. Webster, was acknowledged by the
English phologsts to be the best dictionary IN the
world T. S. & G. ADAMS,
