"Now that the attainment of really useful knowledge appears to be the aim of every one, a more valuable publication than the above can hardly be imagined, for without a good English Dictionary, many persons will frequently find themselves at fault-and from the introduction of new terms and words in our English language, old Dictionaries are of very little value; a work, therefore, like the present appears most opportunely. The improvements in this Dictionary may be briefly summed up as under:

1. It is the most complete purely Eng-
lish Dictionary, and the latest
finished, of any now offered to
the public.

2. It is the only one that gives the
derivation as well as the pronun-
Iciation complete in one and the
same work. In the Universal Dic-
tionary both the etymology and
the pronunciation are given.
3.-It gives a vast mass of important
information connected with natu-
ral history and science not to be
found in any other.

4.-The quotations from old standard

authors illustrate all the terms which have become obsolete, whereby the works of these authors may be more fully comprehended. 5.-12,000 words alone in the third part of this work are not comprised in Johnson or Walker.

6. It has a very great advantage over the American edition of Dr. Webster's, in the proper indication of the pronunciation, giving in all cases the English mode, and not the American, which is wholly at variance with that current in English society.'
