"We are happy to announce third edition OF
this valuable work, very much enlarged. More
than twelve hundred new articles have been added
to those contained in former editions and many Of
the latter have been entirely remouded.
"It is sometimes the fashion to decry Law Die
tionaries II would be about we'll to decry die
tionaries Of the English language. There is un-
doubtedly period in professional life after which
recourse would rarely be had to such works for in
formation; but to say that beginner can get along
without one, is quite as erroneous osuppose that
