The publishers respectfully invite attention TO the
following eminent testimony TO the excellence oil
this standard dictionary.
HE execution of this Dictionary fully answers
To lis title. The VOCABULARY is probably more
comprehensive than that Of all preceding Engllsh
Dictionaries united. Constant reference is made to
AuThoRiTIEs with respect 10 words newly nitro
duced, and care is taken TO note such techni-
cal, iorelgn, obsolete, provincial, or vulgar Inc
DEFINITIONS are clear and exact, and those per-
tanning Ia technical and scientific terms are spe-
cially valuable To the general reader The author
has evidently bestowed great labor on PRoSUNcLA-
TIoS. His system of Notation, which is easily
dcrstood, and founded ON more complete anal ysis
Of the vowel sounds than we have elsewhere met
with together with his plan of exhibiting all the
best English authorities In relation TO words differ
entity pronounced by different orthoepists, gives to
tlis work important advantages as a Pronouncing
Dictionary. la oRTHoGRAPHy he has made no
brary changes, but where usage is various and
iuctuating, lac has aimed to be consistent and To
reduce Ia the same rules words OF similar iorna-
tion. The insertion oi Grammatical forms and IN
tisctions of words Ia "a much greater extent than
they given in other English Dictionaries, and
the short critical notes the photography the pro-
nunC iaton, the grammatical form and construc-
tiou, and the peculiar, technical local. and Ameri-
Of words interspersed through the volume,
give Ia this work much additional value The CO.
pious Vocabulary Of Modern Geographical names,
with their pronunciation, and greatly enlarged
and improved edition of Walkers Key to the pro-
nunciaion of Classical and Scripture proper names,
are important appendages To the Dictionary.
Eighteen months have passed since this Dictionary
was 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 il as containing an ample
aud careful view of the present state OF our Ian
/ guagc.
