"We believe we shall be certain ofdoing service
to the people Of the State, five say word or two
upon the unabridged Quarto Dictionary of the
English Language, by Noah Webster. The word
unabridged has been purposely employed, because
if such work s wanted for any but the very
lowest uses-those Of mere orthogrsphy or or
thoepy-it cannot be too copious and comprehen-
sive. When one is ignorant of the proper and
precise powers of a word, he cannot endure to be
turned over to an abridgment that gives him a
synonym, instead of definition; but he demands
to know much anybody knows of its history
or ctymology and all ts different shades Of mean
ing. Then only can he employ IL with confidence
and effect, as mighty weapon for the expression
of intellect or passion.
''In the vital department of lexicon, its defni
tions, for which, than any and all other rea-
sons put together, we consult such work, Dr..
Webster's work stands unrivalled. Their copous-
ness satisfies the wants of the inquirer, and their
nice analysis and acumen crafty his taste and re-
ward research. The vocabulary is interpreted
with terms in science, which it is very convenient
often to have explained with promptncss, without
the trouble of reference to the shelves of the Ii
