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 ismadc to
| AuTHoRIrIEs with respect to words newly intro
duced, and is taken to note such are techni
cal, foreign, obsolete, provincial or vulgar. The
DEFINITIONS 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 rRoNUNcIA-
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 orthoepsts, gives to
this work important advantages as a 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 forma-
ton. The insertion of Grammatical forms and in
| Elections of words to much greater extent than
A. vta6 ntrt,n
the short critical notes the photography the
nunciaton, 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 &C
| pious Vocabulary Of Modern Geographical names.
| with their pronunciation, and a greatly enlarged
and improved edition of Walkers Key to the pro-
nuncaton of Classicaland Scripturcpropcr names,
are important appendagcs to the Dictionary.
Eighteen months have passed since this Dictionary
was published; and it's already extensive use, both
among cultivated English readers, and men of wide
learning, affords good testimony off merits. We
confidently recommend it as containing ample
and careful view of the present state OF our Ian
