honor to the pathological Learning aud general lite
ratuic Of this country. Happy the who can
thus honorably identify his with the existence
of our veroacuiAr tongue. There is other way
In ~hich mortal man could NOR. cifectually secure
immortality beneath the skies. Obesks, arches and
triumphsl monuments seem To be transient as the
bubble of military reputation. No work Of art can
Withstand the Incessant strokes Of time. The unr-
vailed Psrthenon, 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 acioss the plains below and along
the coasts and headIands of Aitica, is now crumb-
ling TO ruins after being despoled Of its most enqu
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 awo-,nspiring solitude and grandeur,
are 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 il embodes will aIso PERISH but IT will not be

announce that they have made arranU emeuis with
MIR. F. Taylor, Bookseller, of Washington city, to
