for the student and the writer ,
as an authoritative reference book
for schools , families and business
men , there is one book which of
fers superior advantages both in
the solid value of its information ,
and the ease with which it is ob
tained.
One's admiration for Webster's
International Dictionary increases
daily as it comes to be better
known. It never refuses the information
mation sought and it never over
whelms one with a mass of mis
information illogically arranged.
The St. James Gazette of London ,
England , says : For the teacher , the pu
pil , the student and the litterateur , there
is nothing better ; it covers everything.
The New and Enlarged Edition
recently issued has 25,000 new
words and phrases , 2364 pages
and 5000 illustrations.
Our name is on ILc title-pages of all the
authentic dictionaries of thu Webster scries.
