- WORCESTERS is, in the estimation of
w all scholars, the best dictionary ex-
tant for general USE There is certainly no real
comparison possible between it and its most
popular rival. The Office of dictionary is, of
course, not to make innovations, but simply to
register the best usage in spelling and pro-
nunciation. This Worcester does, and this it's
rival conspicuously fails to do"-N Y World
Years ago Worcester's Dictionary was
recognized. ia England as we'll as in the United
States, as the best in existence by the very
best writer's and students. 1t has still higher
claim to this distinction in this new edition,
which makes other dictionaries superfluous,
and serves also as encyclopedias; a text book on
the language; a vocabulary of Greek, Latin
Scriptural, and modern proper names; coIlec-
tiop ofproverbs, phrases, and quotations of all
laguages, and a complete collection of English
synonymes. - Philadelphia Erening Bulletin.
This volume may well merit the title of be-
ing perfect book: a book that is Invaluable to
the student, the man of letters, the philoso-
pher, and the man in active and pressing bust
ness. "-Neas Fork School Journal

are diverted from the stern criticism OF au

voted to integrity and patriotism in our states,

to suppress, pervert or deny the truth when
party Interests demand it, and to lavish the
regulation praise of the servant to the master;
but the growing intelligence of the age daily
mnltiplies the readers of the INDEPENDENT
newspaper, and the journals which best reflect
the rapidly increasing independence of the
people will be the great American journals of
the future.
The TIMES aims. to reach the highest
standard of the independent newspaper. 1t
