WEBSTER'S DICTIONARIES 



ARE THE STANDARD, BECAUSE THEY EXCEL ALL OTHERS IN 



THE FULLNESS OF THEIR 



ETYMOLOGIES, SYNONYMS ?/lND 



TN all these respects the SCHOOL DICTIONARIES, 

 A as compared with other dictionaries of similar grade, are 

 equally pre-eminent with the UNABRIDGED. A copy of 



Webster's Primary Dictionary 

 Webster's Common- School Dictionary, or 

 Webster's High-School Dictionary 



Should be in the hands of every pupil in our public and private 



schools. 



We ask especial attention of teachers and High School and 

 Academic pupils to the 



ACADEMIC DICTIONARY 



As in every way the best student's dictionary aside from the 

 Unabridged. In the matter of etymologies, synonyms and defini- 

 tions it is beyond all comparison the best book for the pupil's 

 desk, discriminating clearly as to the origin, use, and office of 

 every word. 



In view of all these facts, we confidently urge upon school 

 officers the importance of making the use of Webster's School 

 Dictionaries in their schools as general as that of any other text- 

 book on the list. 



Liberal terms will be made for the supply of these books 

 for first introduction into schools, and for specimen copies of the 

 various books for examination and the use of teachers.
