Webster's Pocket Dictionary, in its
present shape, is q great improvement
over all previous editions and all similar
works. In the first place, it is neatly
printed, and bound in morocco, with
gilt edges. Then il contains 200 picio-
rial illustrations, which give a much
clearer idea of the meaning of many
words than could possibly be conveyed
by the usual definition. This little
volume. while being no larger than an
ordinary pocket-book, embraces, in its
vocabulary, O careful selection of over
le.O00 of the most important words Of
the language. with definitions sufficient
ly clear, though necessarily brief, to
meet the ordinary wants of any one re-
quiring its use. Prefxed to the work
are tables of money, weight and mea-
sure, abbreviations. words and phrases
from foreign languages, rules for spell
ing, explanations, etc. It is, in fact. q
most valuable little book, and is doubly
worth the dollar it costs. The publishers,
Ivison. Blakemun, Taylor & Co., 1873 and
lao Grand street, New York, will for
wurd it by mail on receipt of one dollar,
or it can be bought almost anywhere.
