II The .inasrican Dictionary Of the English Language
Is work Of profound cation, and does infinite
honor 10 the pathological learning and general lite
TatuIe Of this country. Happy the man who can
III W honofaby identity his name with the existence
of our Ysrnacuiar tongue. There Is no other way
in which mortal man could more edecually secure
i'm mortality beneath the skies. Obellsks, arches, and
ulumphal monuments seem TO be as transient as the
bu bible of military reputation No work OF art can
Withstand the ncossant strokes of time. The unIl-
vailed Pauhenon, glowing in polished marble and
which, Tor 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 Attica, is now crumb-
ling to ruins, after being despoled Of its most eXqui-
site materials by savage war and heartl-ss man.
Even the Pyramids of Egypt, whose origin is hidden
IN the deepest recesses OF antiquity, and which have
always stood in awe-inspirng solitude and grandeur
are annoyed by the depreda,ions 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 embodes will also perish; but 1t will not be
with the gorgeous palaces. 1t will go with the solemn
temples and lhs great globe Itself"
The Publishers of the foregoing work respectfully
announce that they have. made arrangements with
MIR. F. Taylor, Bookseller, of Washington city, TO
furnish the American Dictionary, in two large yo-
lumes at the very reduced price OF twelve dollars
1t to be understood that for this price the best
paper and type, and the best binding will be sup
ped-the best copies, that IS 10 sa ia all respects.
The very valuable supplement, tohieh IS contained
in no other edition than the present one, should not be
passed uunouced; II contains four thousand words
not girsn any other dictionary; only completed
by Dr. Webster in IS43 immediately before the
sickness which terminated his valuable life, and has
been published and copy righted, since his deahby
hs executors.
The work is now therefore in finished and CON-
plee state It is not 10 be supposed that any thing
more can OF will be added to it, the present edition de-
fning and illustrating twenty thousand more words
than the edition which, when it inst issued from the
hands of d.. Webster, was acknowledged by the
Eng,h phllolOgsts to be the best dictionary IN the
word. T. S. & c. ADAMS,
