PUBLISHED BY C. & G. MERRIAM, SPRINGFIELD, MASS.

_From_ DANIEL WEBSTER.

I possess many Dictionaries, and of most of the learned and cultivated
languages, ancient and modern; but I never feel that I am entirely
armed and equipped in this respect, without Dr. Webster at command.

_From_ RUFUS CHOATE.

Messrs. G. &. C. Merriam:--Gentlemen, I have just had the honor of
receiving the noble volume in which you and the great lexicographer,
and the accomplished reviser, unite your labors to "bid the language
live." I accept it with the highest pride and pleasure, and beg to
adopt in its utmost strength and extent, the testimonial of Daniel
Webster.

_From_ JOHN C. SPENCER.

Unquestionably the very best Dictionary of our language extant. Its
great accuracy in the definition and derivation of words, gives it an
authority that no other work on the subject possesses. It is constantly
cited and relied on in our Courts of Justice, in our legislative
bodies, and in public discussions, as entirely conclusive.

_From_ ELIHU BURRITT.

Webster's great Dictionary may be regarded as bearing the same relation
to the English language which Newton's "_Principia_" does to the
sublime science of Natural Philosophy.

_From _PRESIDENT HOPKINS_, Williams College_.

There is no American scholar who does not feel proud of the labors of
Dr. Webster as the pioneer of lexicography on this continent, and who
will not readily admit the great and distinctive merits of his
Dictionary.

_From_ JOHN G. WHITTIER.

The best and safest guide of the students of our language.

_From_ FITZ GREENE HALLECK.

Of the book itself I hear but one opinion from all around me, and do
but echo the universal voice in expressing my approval of its great
worth, and my belief that it has rendered any further research, or even
improvement in our time, unnecessary in its department of instruction.
