Description:Excerpt from A New and Comprehensive Dictionary of the English Language, as Spoken and WrittenGuided by these views, and so far as the space allows, the language is' here treated of in reference to its spoken as well as its written characteristics, equally as it is exemplified by the news paper and by the classic authority, and with more particular con sideration of the require rather than of scholars. This work the English language as spoken and written, with the most copious vocabulary yet produced, and with the meanings given in words of English or anglo-saxon root, rather than of Greek or Latin, as more likely to be understood by working-men and by children. It is intended, too, to be a work for Englishmen in the widest meaning; not one which like that of Johnson shall limit itself to the pro vincial institutions of England, or, like that of Webster, be called an American dictionary, but one which can be used either in these islands, in the United States, or Australia. Great as is the merit of Webster's book, it is to be regretted that it has a sectional character, whereby an inducement is held out to reproduce J ohn son's edition, or to compile a dictionary for England, which is now dependent for its best work of reference on this provincial dic tionary of the New England writer. The motive which inspired him was a worthy one, that of vindicating American objects, but it would have been better had he compiled an English instead of an American, dictionary.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
