your Dictionary
CALVIN PEAsE, d. D., Of University of Yer
mont, says The mature scholarship which
the work cyinccs is, to me, its most pleasing
feature where we have learning without ped
antry, and the fruits of the most accurate and
liberal research without ostcntation."
BENJAMIN LABAREE, d. D., of Middlebury
College, says The Dictionary will prove an
enduring monument of the learning, industry,
patience, and scholarly wisdom OF its author,
and will place him high among the great lcxi-
cographers of the English language
| JAMES WALKER, y. D, of Harvard College
says: The correctness of its photography,
and the neatncss OF its definitions and method
of notation, together with its greater general
! completeness and thOrOughness, as the latest
of the great Dictionaries, will make it an au-
thority among scholars everywhere.''

says - In Orthography, Pronunciation and
Definition, the learned author has taken I'M
wcarcd pains to ascertain the best usage, and

produced work which will be of standard
authority i'll the United States and in Eng.
land. -
MARK HOPKINS D. D.. of Williams College,

HOSEA DALLoU Cd, D. D, of Tufts College,
says: Your Octave Dictionary has been,
from its first appearance, my usual guide in
matters of Orthography, pronunciation and
definition. Though have not had leisure to
examine the QuartU Dictionary with any de-
gree of thorouyhness, yet | cannot but pre-
sumo, 10y anticipation, that the same excellen-
ccs will be found To mark it that distinguished
your former editions and all that have fall
len upon in cursOry inspection OF the work
