preceding works of the kind in this, that they exhibit the plurals of all 

 nouns which are not formed by the mere addition of the letter S, and also

 polite or popular use, and no word has been excluded which is required 

 either in epistolary composition or conversation.'" 



In the Nashville Republican, we observe the following notice of this very 

 useful book : 



" In recommending the ' Ladies' Lexicon,' therefore, to all our readers, 

 male and female, who have ever experienced the difficulties which it is so 

 admirably calculated to remedy, we but do an ordinary jct of justice to the 

 author and publisher. We consider the 'Ladies' Lexicon,' and recom- 

 mend it to our readers, as a work that possesses superior claims on their 

 attention and patronage." 



In giving the above extracts, we take occasion to say, that teachers will 

 find the "Ladies' and Gentlemen's Lexicons" works admirably adapted to 

 take the place, with advantage to their pupils, of the different works re- 

 cently put into their hands under the name of Expositors, &c.

 our Academies and Schools with great approbation.
