Worcester's Universal and Critical Die
uonary OF the English Language.
BrJ.E WoacEsrER, IL. d

AUTHORITIES Win respect 10 words newly intro
duced, and care Is taken to note such are echn-
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 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 to words differ
emily pronounced by different orthoepsts gives to
this work important advantages as Pronouncing
dictionary. In oRTHoGRAPHY he has made no ar
bitrary changes, but where usage is various and
fiuctuatng, he has aimed to be consistent, and TO
reduce TO the same rules words of similar forma-
ton. The insertion of Grammatical forms and in
Elections of words to a 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 Amer-
can uses OF words nterspersed through the volume,
give to this work much additional value. The CO.
pous Vocabulary Of Modern Geographical names,
with their pronunciation, and greatly enlarged
and improved edition of Walkers Key to the pro-
ANNEXATION 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 it as containing ample
and careful view of the present state Of our lam
guage.
