"  I  am  happy  to  be  able  to  express— and  that  in  the  strongest  terms  of  com-
mendation— my  opinion  of  the  merits  of  this  Dictionary.  Considering  the  ex-
tensive field  which  it  covers,  it  seems  to  me  a  marvel  of  painstaking  labour  and
general  accuracy.  With  regard  to  the  scientific  and  technical  words  so  exten-
sively introduced  into  it,  I  must  say,  that  in  this  respect  I  know  no  Dictionary
that  so  satisfactorily  meets  a  real  and  widely  felt  want  in  our  literature  of
reference.  I  have  compared  it  with  the  large  and  costly  works  of  Latham,
Wedgwood,  and  others,  and  find  that  in  the  fulness  of  its  details,  and  the
clearness  of  its  definitions,  it  holds  its  own  even  against  them.  The  etymology
has  been  treated  throughout  with  much  intelligence,  the  most  distinguished
authorities,  and  the  most  recent  discoveries  in  philological  science,  having  been
laid  under  careful  contribution."— Richard  D.  Graham,  Esq.,  English  Master,
