WEBSTER'S 



DICTIONARIES 



ARE THE STANDARD, because they excel all others 



l:l THE FULLNESS OF THEIR 



ETYMOLOGIES, SYNONYMS AND 

 DEFINITIONS. 



IN all these respects the School Dictionaries, as compared with 

 other dictionaries of similar grade, are equally ^re-eminent with 

 the Unabridged. A copy of 



Webster's Primary Dictionary, 

 Webster's Common-Scliool Dictionary, or 

 Webster's High-School Dictionary 



Should be in the hands of every pupil in our pubKc 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 Un- 

 abridged. In the matter of etymologfies, synonyms and definitions it 

 is beyond all comparison the best book for the pupil's desk, discrimi- 

 nating 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 vprious books 

 for examination and the use of teachers.
