When was a growing lad, and came
upon many words in my reading that
l did not understand, my mother, IN
stead of giving me the definition when
applied to her, uniformly sent me to
the dictionary to learn it, and in this
way l gradually learned many things
besides the meaning of the individual
word in question among other things,
how 10 u3e dictionary, and the great
pleasure and advantage there might
be in the use of the dictionary.
Afterwards, when went to the village
school, my chief diversion, after les
sons were learned and before they
were recitcd, wS5 in turning over the
pages of the Unabridged of those
days. Now the most modern Una

gives me pleasure of the same sort.
So fs- as my knowledge extends, it is
at present the best of the Orc-vOIume
dictionaries, and quite sufficient for

convenience to have this, which is so
