WEBSTER'S AMERICAN DICTIONARY
OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE,

EXHIBITING THE ORIGIN, ORTHOGRAPHY, PRONUNCIATION, AND DEFINITION OF WORDS, ETC.
THOROUGHLY REVISED AND CONSIDERABLY ENLARGED
By Prof. Chauncey A. Goodrich,

OF YALE COLLEGE,

ASSISTED BY A NUMBER OF GENTLEMEN DISTINGUISHED FOR THEIR HIGH ATTAINMENTS IN THE VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS OF LEARNING, WHOSE NAMES WILL BE FOUND IN THE PREFACE.

Several thousand additional words have been incorporated in this edition, embracing all the terms given in the recent edition in the quarto form.

The Synopsis and Walker's Key to the classical pronunciation of Greek, Latin, and Scripture proper names have been revised with much care and greatly improved; also, a complete Vocabulary, giving the pronunciation of modern Geographical names, has been added. Great attention has been given in the revision to the pronunciation. A large number of words having been respelled, it will now be found to be a complete Pronouncing Dictionary. This edition has been made a Synonymous Dictionary: a new and very important feature, not to be found incorporated in the same form into any similar work.

The utmost care has been given in every department of the work to render it the most perfect and satisfactory ever offered to the public. Considering its comprehensiveness, its numerous essential improvements, and its general utility, combined with its portability, it will be found one of the most indispensable and cheapest books of the times.

EXTRACTS FROM CRITICAL NOTICES.

This is the most thorough and complete manual of our langung yet offered to the public. It has been subjected to the constant, protracted, and earnest labors of a number of scientific and literary gentlemen, who have care. fully revised every part of it, corrected all errors, added many thousands of words, enlarged and made inore copious as well as more accurate the definitions, introduced throughout synonyms to the words, and in every possible way increased its value and utility. The result of their labors has been the production of an English lexicon, which can not fail to come into universal use. Literary World.

A good English dictionary is an indispensable book for every profession. This edition of Webster is all that could be desired.

It has come back to us from the other side of the Atlantic, endorsed by the warm approval of the ripest scholars of Europe, as "the best lexicon extant!"-Pittsburgh Journal.

We have no hesitation in saying, that to those who nocept Dr. Webster's system, and they are thousands, nay, hundreds of thousands, this volume will be invaluable.

It must be regarded as by far the most perfect and reliable dictionary which has ever appeared.-New Bedford Mercury.

The highest standard of authority with the learned of Great Britain and the United States. A feature which can not but prove of the greatest utility, is the introduction of a complete Dictionary of Synonyms. Every one who is at all engaged in literary composition feels the necessity of such a work, and none of those hitherto published have been precisely adapted to the wants of the public in this respect. Here the synonyms have been introduced into the main body of the book, so that the synonym of any word is found in connection with its definition, &c. This can not fail to be universally ac ceptable, and is an entirely novel feature of the work. -New York Journal of Commerce.

The reader who has occasion to resort to a dictionary, will find in this single volume all he has a right to expect in a dictionary of the English language, and a little more; for he will find many later words and terms explained on account of their frequent occurrence in the best writers. Many of these are found in this edition, in one volume, which we look for in vain in the former edition in two volumes.

1 am convinced that it is a very valuable acquisition to the means which we already possess for acquiring a correct knowledge of the Latin language. From M. Sturgus, Professor of Languages in Hanover College, Indiana.

Of this work it is needless to speak. The opinion of scholars, both in this country and in Great Brit ain, is unanimous in its favor, as the best lexicon yet published in any language. The work, internally and externally, is every thing a scholar can admire. From Prof. A. S.

mar School.

The great Latin Lexicon of Dr. Freund, which, in a profound comprehension of the Latin language, as probably no equal, has been, by the learned and careful labors of Prof. Andrews, brought into a form sizeable and convenient for use; and by baving its copious and accurate reference, through the entire range of the Latin classics, subjected to a roost judicious arrangement, it constitutes the most valuable philological and historical index of the lan guage, in its successive periods, that has been giv: en to the world. Its excellence, in every essential quahty of a Latin lexicon, can not be too highly es timated. The beauty of the typography will not fail of meeting unqualified approbation, and furnish es another splendid proof of the taste and literary enterprise of the publishers. I am sure it will give you pleasure to learn that I have introduced the work into our grammar school, where it will hereafter be used exclusively and solely with entire satisfaction.

From Prof. J. T. Champlin, Waterville College. The book will fully meet the high expectations

which have been formed of its character. In matter, arrangement, and form, it is all that could be desired. I shall take great pleasure in recommendng it to the classes nnder my charge.

From the London Athenæum.

In conclusion, we are glad to have an opportunity of introducing so excellent a work to the notice of our classical and philological readers. It has all that true German Grundlichkeit about it which is so highly appreciated by English scholars. Rarely, if ever, has so vast an amount of philological infor mation been comprised in a single volume of this and later Latin is not to be gathered from ordinary The knowledge which it conveys of the early Latin Dictionaries. With regard to the manner in which it is got up, we can speak most favorably, Never have we seen a better specimen of American typography. Every page bears the impress of in dustry and care. The type is clear, neat, and ju diciously varied. A pretty close inspection has not enabled us to discover any error worth mentioning.

From the Watchman and Reflector.

It is difficult to speak of this magnificent work in terms that will not savor of extravagance to those who have not examined it. The imperfections of the lexicons in cominon use, such as Ainsworth's and Leverett's, have long been felt, while the large works of Facciolati and others have been at once beyond the means and unsuitable to the purpose of ordinary students. The work before us combines the cheapness and compactness of the one class with the completeness and accuracy of the other. It is essentially a reproduction into English, with corrections by the American editor, of the great German Lexicon of Freund, a work which, being the result of many years' patient toil by one of the first Latin scholars of the age, stands confessedly at the head of this department of scholarship. ** With these advantages, this lexicon must speedily supersede all those in common use, as the clieapest and best acceptable aid to the acquisition of the noble language of Virgil and Cicero.

From the New York Courier and Enquirer. This Lexicon excels every other, of the same compass, in the completeness of its vocabularies, the extent of its definitions, the number of author ties quoted or referred to, and especially in the exactness of the references made to the original u thore, which are always designated by book, section, and line. The American editor, assisted by many learned friends, has devoted the labor of many years to the translation and improvement of the original work, and the result is a proud monument of Amer ican scholarship. The typographical execution of the work is superior, and the printing of the words defined in large type, we regard as a decided in provement.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser.

This we believe to be the best Latin-English Lexicon yet extant. Its superiority consists, first, in its copiousness, the whole range of eminent German philologists having been made tributary to it; ser ond, in the multitude and accuracy of its references or examples, in which not only are the authors quoted who employ the word in the sense cited, but the works in which the examples occur; in this re spect we have seen no lexicon equal to this. a work of immense philological research. A third excellence is its clear and perspicuous arrangement It has also many other improvements. Much as the editor and publishers have done for the promo

tion of classical education, this edition of Dr. Freund's Lexicon surpasses all their former educational publications.

From Prof. Pease, University of Vermont. Although the work is in no need of commendation from me, I may, perhaps, be permitted to express the opinion that it is the first dictionary which has appeared in English which is calculated to bring the study of Latin up to the level occupied by that of

We hope the book will find its way into all the literary institutions of our land.

From the Commonwealth.

A treasure for the Latin student.

From the Independent.

It has been understood for years, among classical students, that Prof. Andrews, than whom no Ana ican scholar is more competent for such a work, was devoting the maturity of his scholarship and his life to the preparation of a Latin Lexicon, which should supply the manifold deficiencies of Ainsworth and Leverett, and should introduce the learner to more thoroughly critical and philosophical knowl edge of the Latin language. This great work is at length completed; and, notwithstanding the inbor and cost of preparation, it is presented to the stu dent at a reasonable price and in a tuost inviting dress. *** This Lexicon must supersede all oth ers now in use. Whoever is about to begin the study of Latin will of course procure it, and many who have long been dissatisfied with their lexicó graphical helps will gladly dispense with those for such a substitute.

The publication of this excellent work will be hailed with great satisfaction by all professors and teachers of the Greek language. A significant testimonial to its value is to be found in the fact that from its first appearance this lexicon was adopted in the English schools to the exclusion of all others, received the stamp of public approbation, and was awarded the palm of decided superiority over the only other lexicons of equal pretensions that were then in use, Donnegan's and Dunbar's. Its supenor excellence is chiefly manifested in point of ar rangement, development of significations, and accuracy of quotation. Adopting Passow's admira ble lexicon as the basis of theirs, and carrying out the principles which he laid down for his own guid ance, the English editore, by their own reading, by the aid of the Paris edition of Stephens's Thessaurus, and of other general as well as special lexicons, have produced a work which, for real utility and general accuracy, now stands, and will likely long be without a rival in the English language.-Prot

Five dollars for such a vol ume is certainly a moderate price; and we have no doubt the work will speedily supersede the inferior compilations of Donnegan, Grove, &c., now in use.

fully revised the work, but has added largely to te value, especially by the insertion of all the proper names in their alphabetical order. It is impossible for us, within the compass of a newspaper article, to notice all the merits of the English or American editors of the lexicon; suffice it to say, that the fruit of their labors is before us in a specimen of Greek lexicography so far superior to any that has yet appeared in the language that comparison would be ridiculous.-N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.

This Greek dictionary must inevitably take the place of all others in the classical schools of the country.-Knickerbocker Magazine.

The work of Liddell and Scott is esteemed by scholars as incomparably the best Greek lexicon ever published. It is not merely a translation of Passow's work, which has no equal in Germany. and is a standard work there, but a carrying out of Passow's principles of lexicography through a large part of the entire circle of Greek literature. It is constructed on the true principles of lexicography, and presents, besides the clear and consistent ag nification of each word, its history, the changes it has undergone, and especially its usage in each of the great eras of the language. On the score af Messrs. Liddell and Scott took up Passow's great completeness, accuracy, comprehensiveness, and work where he left it, and completed it in the very scholarship, the work is not to be named in com spirit of his system by independent reading of their parison with Donnegan, or any other lexicon with own; so great, indeed, are their additions, that the which we are familiar.

How completely this volume supplied a great want in the theological literature of the day our readers will readily judge, from the fact that three rival editions of it were speedily reprinted in Lon Jon and Edinburgh, besides two subsequent abridg ments. The first edition having been exhausted, Dr. Robinson, during the last three years, has concentrated his labors upon the preparation of the present edition of his lexicon, a comparison of which with the first impression enables us to attest the truthful accuracy of the author's statement that it is indeed "a new edition revised and partly rewrit ten," and we must add, with most valuable additions and improvements.-Church of England Rev. The excellence of this edition of the "Greek and English Lexicon" is found in many particulars: 1.
