SOME PRESS OPINIONS ON THE NEW EDITION. 



' We believe that, all things considered, this will be found to be the best 

 existing English dictionary in one volume. W^e do not know of any work 

 similar in size and price which can approach it in completeness of vocabulary, 

 variety of information, and general usefulness.' — Guardian. 



' The most comprehensive and the most useful of its kind.' — National 

 Observer. 



•A magnificent edition of Webster's immortal Dictionary.' — Daily 

 'J^elegraph. 



'A thoroughly practical and useful dictionary.' — Standai'd. 



* A special feature of the present book is the lavish use of engravings, 

 which at once illustrate the verbal explanations of technical and scientific 

 terms, and permit them to remain i-eadably brief It may be enough to refer 

 to the article on " Cross." By the use of the little numbered diagrams we are 

 spared what would have become a treatise, and not a very clear one. . . . 

 We recommend the new Webster to every man of business, every father of a 

 family, every teacher, and almost every student — to everybody, in fact, who is 

 likely to be posed at an unfamiliar or half-understood word or phrase.' — 

 St. fames' s Gazttte.
