Libraries, for it provides the English student
with mass of the most valuable information
which he would in vain seek for elsewhere.

dStion, from Daniel Webster, Levi Woodbury..

bers of Congress.
'It is very desirable that one standard die
tionary should be used ~ the numerous mill
lions Of people who are to inhabit the vast ex-
tent ofterrtory belonging 10 the United States;
as the use OF such standard may precent the
formation Of dialects in states'remo,e from each
other, and impress upon the language uniforrni-
ty 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
egners who wish to gain access to the ricl.
stores Of science which it contains. We rejoice
that the American Dictionary bids fair to be-
come such a standard"
