at is very desirable that one standard die
tiohary should be used by the numerous mil
lions OF people who are to inhabit the vast ex-
tent ofterritory belonging to the United States;
as the use Of such standard may prevent the
formation Of dialects in states remote from each
other, and impress upon the language uniforini-
~ and stability II is desirable. also, that the
acquisition OF the language should be rendered
easy, not only TO our own citizens, but TO for
eigners who wish TO gain access to the rich
stores Of science which il contains. We rejoice
that the American Dictionary bids fair TO be-
come such a Standard: .sa -g9- sra - s3s
