The publishers respectfully invite attention TO the
following eminent testimony TO the excellence of
this standard dictionary. tp
The execution Of this Dictionary fully answers
70 its tltle. The vo9Asv.Asy i probably no 1
Dictionaries united. Constant reference is made 10
AuTHoRirIEs with respect 10 words newly intro
duced, and care is taken to note such are techni
DEFIsIrIoNs are clear and exact, and those per-
tanning 10 technical and scientific terms are spe-
cially valuable to the general'reader The author
rIos. His system of Notation, which il easily I'M
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 a Pronouncing
Dictionary. In oRrHooRArHY 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 forlna-
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 Ameri
can uses Of words interspersed through the volume,
give to 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-
~ anu ScriPtuIc ProPcf NAMES,
are important aPpendages to the Dictionary.
Eighteen months have passed since this Dictionary
was puDisned; and Its already extensive use, both
among cultivated English readers, and men OF wide
learning, anords good testimony OF is merits. We
conndently recommend 1t as containing an ample
ana careiui view OF the present state OF our Ian
guagc.

long been celebrated in Consumption and Scrofnla,
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 as a cura-
tive in those diseases than any remedy Of the day

an article has afforded relief to so many persons as
DIR. MARTINS COMPOUND SYRUP OF WILD
CHERRY has done, we feel bound TO make it
known There never was article in this coun-
try that has afforded relief and gave satsfac
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,
pronounce it unequalled for the cure of Coughs,
Colds, and diseases OF this kind"
