eft is very desirable that one standard die
tionary should be used by the numerous mil
lions Of people who are to inhabit the vast ex-
tent Of territory 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-
ty aud stability. 1t is desirable. also, that the
acquisition oil the language should be rendered
easy, no, only to our 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 Standard"
