THIS handy new dictionary, which has already won great success 

 in England, meets a demand that has long existed in our schools 

 and colleges. It is concise and compact, represents the latest schol- 

 arship, contains a large vocabulary, and is sold at a low price. It is 

 based on the standard dictionaries of Lucas, Fliigel, Hilpert, Kohler 

 and others. Prof. Nagel's treatise and other more recent authorities 

 have been consulted on pronunciation. Each word has been care- 

 fully translated, and a very large and varied collection of idioms has 

 been added. Recondite details have been excluded, and instead ex- 

 plicit, practical information is given. Distinctions among synonyms 

 have been made clear by examples, and the points in which the two 

 languages differ have been carefully illustrated. 



The English-German part (471 pages), includes a twelve-page ap- 

 pendix on German orthography, as prescribed for schools in 1880, by 

 the Prussian minister of Education. The arrangement of the syno- 

 nyms is so clear that the English-speaking student has no difficulty 

 in selecting from several German words the equivalent of a given 

 English word, as he does in English-German dictionaries compiled 

 by Germans. Since the English-German part was chiefly written in 

 Germany, the compiler, with the help of German friends, has included 

 many technical expressions and idioms of every-day occurrence, not 

 found in most dictionaries. Specimen pages sent on application. 



Calvin Thomas, Prof, of Germanic 

 Langs, and Lits., Univ. of Mich. : I 

 have no hesitation in pronouncing your 

 New German Dictionary a first rate piece 

 of work. One great objection to all small 

 German dictionaries is that the type is 

 necessarily very small. This book is de- 

 cidedly better on this score than most of 

 the dictionaries which are several times 

 larger and cost several times as much. 

 The definitions are well written, concise 

 and correct. Of course no small German 

 Dictionary (big one either, for that mat- 



ter) contains everything. This one will 

 prove adequate for all ordinary purposes in 

 school and college, and the wonder is how 

 so good a dictionary can be sold so cheap. 



H. S. White, Prof, of German, Cor- 

 nell Univ. : The dictionary, as a whole, 

 is remarkably fresh and comprehensive, 

 and the price puts it within range of most 

 classes. The effect should be to improve 

 the character of the study of German in 

 the schools, where the books ought to be 

 widely employed.
