CHARLES COLLINS. u. D., of Dickinson Col
lcyc SAYS - ! have examined the Dictionary
with care, and am free to say, that though
public expectation respecting it was high,
based justly on the high reputation of lis au-
thor for lcXical ability, yet in my opinion this
rXpcctation has been more than met. \ no.
bier monument of profound learning. patient
toll, and critical discrimination in the use and
power Of words, has not appeared. Its Orthog-
nphy and u'thoepv faithfully represent the
elegant use which the critics tell Us gives law
to language; and the ctymolOgicS ana ociui-
tions present a treasury of learning in the lit
erature of the language which is above price.

Illustrations and diagrams which You have in
PRODUCED. happily on a scale not 50 large rs to
cucumber the page, and Yet not too small for
the purpose of clucidatiOn. These. introduced
in their natural place, are not SO prominent aS
to affect the general appearance OF the work
Is n dictionary, and yet they give it many OF
the advantages, without the cost, Of an cncy-
clopcdia.
SAMUEL X. TALNAGE. ID. D., of Oglcthorpc
University, says: 4" have examined the Die
tionary with care, and am not disappointed in
my expectations. ] consider it decidedly the
most complete and Perfect Dictionary of the
English Language. 1t cannot fail to take pre-
cedcnce over all others. The great curse of
American LeXicogIaphy has been lawlcss

of our noble mother tongue. You have, in
