AN ETYMOLOGICAL AND PRONOUNCING 
DICTIONARY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE 
INCLUDING A VERY COPIOUS SELECTION OF SCIENTIFIC, TECHNICAL, 
AND OTHER TERMS AND PHRASES, 
Designed for Use in Schools and Colleges, and as a Handy 
Book for General Reference. 
By THE REv. JAMES STORMONTH. 
The Pronunciation carefully revised by Rev. P. H. PHELP, M.A. 
Third Edition, revised, and enlarged with a Supplement of many additional 
words ; and a List of Scripture proper names, and other names, all 
respelt for pronunciation. Crown 8vo, pp. 785. 7s. 6d. 
“This Dictionary is admirable. The etymological part especially is good and sound. We 
have turned to ‘ calamity,’ ‘forest,’ ‘ poltroon,’ and a number of other crucial words, and find 
them all derived according to the newest lights. There is nothing about ‘ calamus,’ and ‘foris,’ 
and ‘ pollice truncus,’ such as we used to find in the etymological dictionaries of the old type. 
The work deserves a place in every English school, whether boys’ or girls’.”— Westminster 
Review.

DICTIONARY AND AN ETYMOLOGICAL SPELLING-BOOK. 
Containing : The Dictionary—List of Prefixes—List of Postfixes— 
Vocabulary of Root-words, followed by English Derivations. 
Fcap. 8vo, pp. 260. 2s. 
“This is mainly an abridgment of Mr Stormonth’s larger Etymological Dictionary, which 
has already been favourably criticised in ‘The Schoolmaster.’ The Dictionary, which contains 
every word in ordinary use, is followed up by a carefully prepared list of prefixes and postfixes, 
with illustrative examples, and a vocabulary of Latin, Greek, and other root-words, followed 
by derived English words. It will be obvious to every experienced teacher, that these lists 
may be made available in many ways for imparting a sound knowledge of the English language, 
and for helping unfortunate pupils over the terrible difficulties of our unsystematic and.stubborn 
orthography. We think this volume will be a valuable addition to the pupil’s store of books, 
and, if rightly used, will prove a safe and suggestive guide to a sound and thorough knowledge 
of his native tongue.”— 7 he Schoolmaster.
