1T IS THE STANDARD.
The Greatest Dictionary Now Printed In
Our Language.

Viewed from the standpoint Of the
critical student of the English Ian
guage the Standard Dictionary is a
guide and reference work sans pareil.
1t sanctions only the best forms of US
age, giving a full Characterization of
variant forms, tabulating words as for
eign. dialectic, provincial, colloquial,
vulgar or barbarOus. The Importance
OF this cannot be overestimated, as it
at once relieves the mind of the stu
dent as 70 the aptness and elegance OF
the term required, when there appears
to be one or more terms applicable TO
the case in point. 1t is essentially rep
resentatively definitive; verifying all
definitions by the genealogical sense,
in a comprehensive, accurate and sim
pie manner. Great care has been eXer-
ciSed in the gathering into the lam
guage of new words; provincialisms
which are and have been migrating
themselves into he English tongue are
collected and ueined; scientific and
handicraft terms are likewise treated.
and technical terms not in common use
among technicians, are vigorously ex-
cluded, thus doing away with a great
amount of useless bulk. But the crown
ing glory OF the Standard is its persist
ent and consistent simplification OF
spelling-the elimination u the diph-
thong being not the least. AS defini-
tive work it stands supreme. Dennl-
tions are given in groups. as members
under generic heads. etymologically
verified to elucidate meaning, illustrat-
ed copiousiy and aided by synonyms
and antonyms It's full and intelligent
system Of compromising, scientifically
arranged, is a noble stride in the path
of progress.
