MAKING A DICTIONARY.


The Colossal Task Of Selecting che !

One of the men Who complied big
dictionary talks as follows about the
way the work was done
From the largest dictionary Of the
language all the words were diligently
copied and then each of the smaller
dictionaries was checked Off In turn
against this growing list When the
dictionaries had been thus exhausted
all the living authors of works that
bad an undoubted standard value were
secured TO contribute from their works
such words as they had used that were
not found in the general dictionaries
In addition to this. the services Of
about 500 readers were utilized among
whom was distributed an The standard
literature from Chauccr go the present
time. These readers were instructed
TO report such words as seomed 10 he

and line that they might le inspected

professions were also invited 20 send

The conservative care exercised In
