sslt is very desirable that one standard dic-
tionary should bs used by the numerous mil
lions Of people who are TO inhabit the vast ex-
tent Of TERRITORY belonging 10 the United States;
as the use Of snch standard may prevent the
formation OF dialects in states remote from each
other, and impress upon the language uni:orni-
~ and stability. II is desirable. also, that the
acquisition O. the language SHOULD be rendered
easy, not only 10 cur own citizens, but to for
e.gners who wish TO gain access TO the rich
stores Of science which it contains. We rejoice
that the American Dictionary bids fair to be-
come such a standard.''
