DR.. Worcester hasspent over twenty
years in photographed researches, ana
al that time has been looking
to the Dictionary now just issued, as
the browning effort Of those long years
Of labor.
For pronunciation and photography,
his earlier works are, and have been
cversincc their publication, the stand
ard of al the most prominent literary
men Of all parts Of the Union.
That II readers may not be compel
led to rely solely upon II tpSe-dtrtt, we
quote Il few testimonials:
Hon. George Bancroft, LII. d., says, "On
questions Of OrthOgraphy ] shall make it my
standard, allowing myself rare dcyiations, or
perhaps no dcyiations whatever"
Hon. Edward Everett, says, II have made
constant use of WOrcr,tcr's Dictionaries since
their first publication. His ~orthography ana
pronunciation represent, 30 far us am aware,
the most approved usage of our language. HIS
definitions seldom leave anything to desire
VIM. II. Prescott, ILL., D., says, 81 have
long since learned to appreciate your valuable
labors, which have done 50 much to establish
the accuracy of pronunciation"
W. G. Bryant, Of New York, says, FThe
conscientious accuracy ofthr work in all Its de-
purtmonts, give it, in myjudgncnt, the highest
lain to the public favor
81 concur with the opinion Of Mr., Bryant"

Prof. n. Lawrence Lindsey, LII. d., Of
Lebanon, Tenn, says, "Dr. Worcester, eg
]contesso, n reliable and critical photographer,
with no equal in his department Of learning, at
home or abroad. ] regard him with all the
enthusiasm ola pupil; his writings being prom.
incnt among the first that attracted my attrn-
ton TO the study Of languages, and, enjoying
an intimate acquaintance with him, ] believe II
more unpretcnding, polighcdand genuine Sara"'

The following from the Rt. Rev.
Bishop Otey, speaks volumes in favor
Of " Worcester"
MEMPHIS, Dec. s, 80.
II have carefully examined the published
specimen Of DR., Worcostcr's Forthcoming
Ouarto Dictionary; and taking this ~ n taII
specimen Of the whole, ! am Of the opinion
that its merits, as n standard for the Orthogra
ply, Etymoloey aud Orthmpy Of tld EngIial
language, ire uncqinlted by any work hnV
SEEM jas. IL. OlE1.
The peculiaritics Of this great worl
are the Illustrations, Of which there ar,
over Gtlcen hundrcd and its antilles ~
Synonymcs, Of which there are Owe
eicpen hundrei, in which the distinction
between more than fOe MouSand synon
nymos arc accurately and conciscly
stated.
It contains, also, about t~caty Mous
anil U0rdS and deGnitionS, not to be f)unC
in any other Dictionary Of our Ian
guago.
Another very important feature o
the work is its pronunciation Of The
names Of distinguished non Of modcrl
times.

If any Of our readers want it, We ad
wise them TO send their names at once

We know the Col. to be n gentleman

In Winchester we refer to Messrs
John Frizzcll, Il, b. Crisman, and A. 5
Marks, who have the work.
Mitchell, the Irish porter, who wa
recently condemned to death at Char
lesion for aiding n slave to escape on
New York steamer, has been pardone
by tho Governor Of South Carolina
E Without wishing to blame the Cover
nor's course, for we have seen it state
that it reflects II respectable public Sci
timcnt, we alludc to this as one of tn
disadvantages Of ovcr-rigorous legis'a
ton. Had the penalty been II numbc
Of ycars in the pcnitcntiary, rs woul
have been the case in our own and a
most every other Southern State, tn
sentence would probably have been cal
ricd out, and no one would have dream
cd of II pardon. Net more than u fe,
years ago, n man was sentenced t
death by the law ofSouth Carolina, 70
larceny from the person, and in tina
case, also, an executive pardon came t
the relicfof the culprit. Better hav
lenient laws severely administered, tina
severely laws lenicntly.
