The publishers respectfully invite attention to ,e
following eminent testimony W the cxcellencspf
this standard dictionary.
The execution Of this Dictionary fully answrs
to its title, The VocAsuLAsy Is probably mFe
comprehensive than that of all preceding Englh
Dictionaries united. Constant reference ismaddo
AUTHORITIES with respect 70 words newly int>-
duced, and care is taken TO note such techi-
cal, foreign, obsolete, provincial, or vulgar, 4e
tanning TO technical and scientific terms are 81
cially valuable TO the general reader. The autRr
has evidently bestowed great labor on PRoHUScL
TIoN. His system OF Notation, which - easily "
derstood, and founded ON more complete analyS
of the vowel sounds than we have elsewhere III
with, together with his plan Of exhibiting all V
best English authorities Ia relation TO words diff
emily pronounced by different orthoepists, givesp
this work important advantages as PronounciE
Dictionary. In oRTHo0RAPHY he has made no
bitrary changes, but where usage is various al
fiuctIating, he has aimed TO be consistent, andp
reduce 70 the same rules words OF similar form
hections Of words TO a much greater extent TN
they arc given in other English Dictionaries, al
the short critical notes the photography, the pr
nunciation, the grammatical form and constrl
ton, and the peculiar, technical local, and Anne
can uses Of words interpreted through the yolun,
give 10 this work much additional value. The 4
pious Vocabulary Of Modern Geographical nam,
with their pronunciation, and greatly enlarg
nunciAton Of Classical and Scripture proper nam,
are important appendages 70 the Dictionai.
Eighteen months have passed since this DictionW
was published; and IL already extensive use, ba
learning, affords good testimony Of it, merits. "
confidently recommend it az containing an amp
and careful view Of the present state OF our lai
