The publishers respectfully invite attention 10 the
following eminent testimony TO the excellence OF
this standard dictionary.
The execution of this Dictionary fully answers
to its title The VOCABULARY is probably more
comprehensive than that Of all preceding English
Dictionaries united. Constant reference II made 10
AUTHORITIES with respect TO words newly INTRO
duced, and is taken to note such techni'
CAL foreign, obsolete, provincial, or vulgar. The
DEFINITIONS are clear and exact and those per-
tanning TO technical and scientific terms are spe-
cially valuable TO the general reader The author
has evidently bestowed great labor ON PRoNUNcIA-
TON. His system of Notation, which is easily un-
derstood, and founded on more complete analysis
of the vowel sounds than we have elsewhere met
with, together with his plan of exhibiting all the
best English authorities in relation 10 words differ
emily pronounced by different orthoepiss, gives To
this work important advantages as a Pronouncng
Dictionary. In oRTHoGRAPHy he has made no ar
bitrary changes, but where usage is various and
fuctuating he has aimed to be consistent, and to
reduce 10 the same rules words OF similar lorna
ton The insertion OF Grammatical forms and in
Elections of words to much greater extent than
they are given in other English Dictionaries, and
the short critical notes the photography, the pro
nunciation, the grammatical form and construc-
ton, and the peculiar, technical local, and Aner
can uses OF words nterspersed through the volume,
give tn this work much additional value. The CO.
piour Vocabulary Of Modern Geographical names,
with lneir pronunciation, and greatly enlarged
and improved edition of Walkers Key to the pro
nuncaton Of Classical and Scripture proper names,
are important appendages TO the Dictionary.
Eighteen months have passed since this Dictionary
published; and its already extensive use, both
among cultivated English readers, and men of wide
learning, affords good testimony OF its merits We
confidently recommend it as containing an ample
and careful view of the present state OF our lam
