The publishers respectfully invite attention to the
following eminent testimony to the excellence of
this standard dictionary. 1900 &c 81
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 ismadc to
AUTHORITIES with respect to words newly intro
duccd, and is taken to note such are techni
CAL foreign, obsolete, provincial, vulgar. The
pErIsrTIoNs clear and exact, and those per
tanning to technical and scientific terms are spc
cially valuable to the general reader The author
| has evidently bestowed great labor rRoNUNcIA-
TIoN. His system Of Notation, which ia easily un-
derstood, and founded on a 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 orthocpists, gives to
this work important advantages as a Pronouncing
Dictionary. In oRThoGRAPHY he has made
bitrary changes, but where usage is various and
reduce TO the same rules words of similar forIna-
! ton. The insertion of Grammatical forms and i'm
! Elections OF words to much greater extent thar
| they gwen in other English Dictionaries anc
the short critical notes the photography the pro
nunciation, the grammatical form and construc
ton, and the peculiar, technical, local, and Ancr
can uses of wordsinterspcrscd through the volume
| give 70 this work much additional value. The &C
pious Vocabulary of Modern Geographical names
with their pronunciation, and greatly enlarged
| and improved edition of Walkers Key to the pro
nunciation of Cassicaland Scriptureproper names
are important appendagcs to the Dictionary
Eighteen months have passed since this Dictionary
was published; and its already extensive use, boil
among cultivated English readers, and men Of wild
learning, affords good testimony of It's merits. W.
confidently recommend it as containing ampl
and careful view of the present state OF our Ian
