~BEAT OUT OF SIGHT.n

The multiplicity Of poorly printed
and p ,orly bound cheap diction-
aries (Which are but little morethan
poor compilations from the old
editions Of Webster on which the
copyrights have expired) have
caused the editors and publishers
Of that world-renowned standard
to "beat out OF sight" not only all
dictionary competitors, but their
own previous efforts as well. The
great object sought has been to
present in the condensed ard
handy form of Webster's Practical
everything to be desired in a lexicon
for use in every household. OF the
several new features which 1t en-
bodies, the following reproductions
will illustrate the more prominent
