Proper Names. Being formed with these views, it contains: tv ll . the u ' ords . w hich are found in the Ame rican Dictionary, with numerous additions from other quarters A u definitions of the original work, with •' 6 shades of meaning as there given, expres'- e in t-ie author’? own language, though to some extent in abridged terms. The plan, however, has been to give the definitions, espec»ally of synony- \ mous words, with great fuilnes?; so that this work is a substitute, to a great extent, for a book of synonyms. 3d. A complete system of English Pronuncia tion, e.ery word being so marked, as to exhibit the power of each letter, and the proper place of the accent, at a single glance. . synopsis of words of disputedpronuncia -7 his enables the reader to examine for him self, as tjo doubtful paints. About nine hundred words are given in the synopsis, with the decisions Os seven distinguished writer-on English oithoepy. slh. The whole of Walker's Key to tie pronun cia ion of Latin, Greek, and Scripture Prupe r Names. This is the sole and acknowledged stand ard on these subjects, both in England and Ameri ca. When primed by itself, this work makes a volume of nearly three huncred pages, Bvo. Os the numerous recommendations of the origi nal work and the abridgement, the following only i can be heie given : “ The of Dr. Webster’s American Die- '< tionary ol the: English Language, are very exten- ! sively acknowledged. We regard it as a great i improvement on all the works which have preceded it; the definitions have a character of disciimira tion. copiousness, perspicuity, and accuracy, not lound, we believe, in any other dictionary of the English Language.”— t'ffic.rs of Yale and Middle bury Colleges , and of the Andover Theological In stitution. “ 11 gives me pleasure to state, that I have made I use of your quarto or octavo dictionary, ever since i the time of their publication ; and that for copious ness, fur exactitude of definition ; and adaptedness to the present state of literature and science, they seem to me to be the most valuable works ol the kind that I have everseen in our language.”— Rev. Dr. Way land. President of Blown University. “ I am prepared, after pro ractcd and careful exanvnation, to say, that in my judgment, the I Dictionary of Noah Webster possesses amivaled ! merit.”— Lr. Chapin, President of Columbia Col lege, L. C. “ I have had occasion to use and examine Dr. \\ ebster s quarto Dictionary, and the abridgement of it by Mr. Worcester. Each of them ap ears to me to he executed with great care, learning and abi ity. ” — Hon. Judge Story. “ We have seen and examined your American Dictionary, and we think it unrivalled by any work of the aird in the English Language.”— Dr. Fisk and other officers of the Wesleyan University, Mid dletown, Cf. ! Similar recommendations have been given by ; more taan a hundred members of congress, aatl by : various conventions of literary men and teachers. FOREIGN TESTIMONIALS. “ When this work is as well known in Britian as it is in America, it will supersede every other book of the kind in the same department cf letters. Its excellence is obvious and indisputable.” I Cambridge Indepennent Press. “ Dr. W ebster’s knowledge of languages appeals to be extensive, and his researches lor authorities to establish the meaning of words, not to be met with in oiher dictionaiies, numerous. The intro | duct ion of technical and scientific teim* is a very | very valuable addition to a general dictionary. Ihe notation adopted by him for expressing the true sound of the vowels, is much simpler than that introduced by Bheridan, and follow'ed by Walker.” —Dublin Literary Gazette. I “D is impossible to refer to any one page, wiih out discoveriug that Dr. Webster is a capital ety mologist. His derivations are exceedingly just, and his explanations of terms are full witnout be ing redundant.”— Sun. “ We beg to call the attention of our readers to the republication of this work, the supreme ex cellence of waich is so obvious, that it is unneces sary for us to enlarge on its merits ."—Aberdeen ; Chronicle. Extended critiques on the work, confirming these views, have appeared in the Westminster Review, and the .-cientilic Journal of Professor Jameson of Edinburgh.
