RESULT OF CENTURIES OF CULTURE.
The successive editions of WEBsTER's
Unabridged are as perennial in interest
as in value Each successive reprint
finds the work of our great lexicograph-
cr still unrivaled among English diction-
aries of the scientific progress of the age,
sleepless vigilance which nothing
escapes, to catch every new shade of
verbal significance, and to retain for our
unapproached standard oflanguage, that
freshness which preserves it from ever
becoming old. In the 1910 pages be.
fore us there arc compressed the results
Of centuries Of culture, and the sum Of
the intellectual contributions of some of
the greatest minds of the race. Wheth-
er regarded as a whole, or in detail, the
book is equally marvellous, Its illustra-
tons are copious, appropriate ard care
fully executed. The matter in the ap-
pendiy is of a character indispensable
for reference to all who read, and to all
who write with serious purpose. The
book is, in short, one which neither
school nor study, library or office, ought
to be Without New York Times.
