The publishers respectfully invite attention TO 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 Is made to
AUTHORITIES with respect to words newly intro
duced, and care is taken to note such are 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 PRoNUNoIA-
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 to words differ
emily pronounced by different orthoepists, gives to
this work important advantages as n Pronouncing
Dictionary. In oRTHoGRAPHY he has made no ar
bitrary changes, but where usage is various and
huctuating, he has aimed TO be consistent and To
reduce TO the same rules words OF similar forrna-
ton The insertion of Grammatical forms and in
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 interspersed through the volume,
give to this work much additional value. The &C
pous Vocabulary of Modern Geographical names
with their pronunciation, and greatly enlarged
ana improved edltion 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 usc 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 Ian
guage.

THE WILD CHERRY AND SARSAPARILLA,
Il which, ON the basis of this preparation, have
long been celebrated in Consumption and Scrofua,
Diseases of the skin, Coughs, Colds, Splitting Of
Blood, Asthma, sc. Though this remedy has been
but short time before the public, yet it has gained
perhaps more character and reputation cura-
tive in those diseases than any remedy Of the day.
The Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal church,
(the Right Rev. w. H. Whittingham,) authorized
US to say he has used IL in his person with de-
cided beneht-Dr. s. Harper, Of Kent Island, has
written 70 he has used it with great success in
his practice [see his letter in the pamphlet And
in letter from lady on the Eastern Shore of this
State, she says: 81 had letter from Miss E.
on Tuesday; she says mother has requested her TO
say Isabel derived almost instantaneous relief from
DR.. MARTINS SYRUP OF WILD CHERRY.
Her disease was Consumption in its forming stage.
The Boonsborough odd Fslioio, of Washington
county, Maryland, June Goth, lS4S, says: "When
an article has afforded relief TO so many persons as
DIR. MARTINS COMPOUND SYRUP OF WILD
CHERRY has done, feel bound to make it
knewn. There never was an article in this coun-
try that has afforded relief and gave satisfac-
ton than this. In the neighborhood of Brownsville,
in this county, it has effected several important
cures, and, from our own certain knowledge of it,
we pronounce it unequalled for the of Coughs,
Colds, and diseases of this kind"
