WEBSTER. QUARTo DIcrIoxARY are in
ue"'o" ~ 'ue ruonsners, u. Z. Merriam,
Springfield, Mass, for copy of their new picto-
rial edition of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary.
In common with the editorial fraternity of the
country, almost without exception, we can bear
testimony to the great superiority of Webster,
Dictionary over all others. In the accuracy
and fullness of its definitions its prominence
has never been questioned; it is wonderfully
complete IN It's vocabulary; and its orthoyraphy
mas gradually come to be settled upon as author-
tative by d large majority of American authors
and publishers
AS TO the outcry made by publishers of rival
dictionaries (or rather compilations from w eb-
ster) In regard to the photographed changes sug-
5ested by DR. Webster, it is sufficient to saw that
they were only suggested as desirable If thew
could be effected, as tending to simplify the Ian
guage and complete its analogy; and that the
same recommendations had in almost all cases
been made before him, bv leading lexicoprapbers
Most Of these changes have gained ground until
they are fairly incorporated in the language For
instance, nobody thinks now Of spelling such
words as farOr, labor, &c, with the a which
Webster rejected.
In the present edition, the words in regard to
which there is any difference Of opinion as to the
spelling are given both ways, for the convenience
OF the public, and thus all opening for cayil is
cut of.
most valuable feature of the work is the illus
trated portion executed in the highest style of art
and giving better idea of the subjects repre
sented than any possible definition in words
could.
IL has also an admirable table of synonyms pre-
pared by Prof. Goodrich; vast number of eta
lions; Latin, French, Spanish, and Italian words
and phrases used in quotations. some ten thousand
new words; tables Of various kinds;-indeed, for
all purposes Of reference, this work comprises
perfect library within its two covers
In examining its pages and estimating the i'm
