Messrs. G.. sc. MERRIAM,
Gentlemen:
I know not how TO ex-
ptess NV qualification with the valuable and beautiful
features added 20 the great national work, Webster's
Quarto Dictionary. They render H. If possible still more
worthy Of the proud place Il occupies as the great stand
ard dictionary Of our good English language. / say
standard, for while a few scholars and others here and
there. prefer other dictionaries, Weoster's Is beyond
dispute the bOOko OF the people, the common standard Of
appeal among the masses, learned and unlearned, in our
land. : Nor need this be regretted as long as its publish
es take such unwearied pains 10 keep IL abreast with
every Improvement made in the language. IL can only
express my very sincere hope that YOU may be fully re-
warded for the good work you arc doing in the cause Of
sound learning.
with considerations Of high respect,
.Iremain, gentlemen, Yours truly.
