Présentation de l'éditeur
It is not every young peion (nor old person either, for that matter) who reflects upon the riches of that most familiar bookt the Dictionary. Not everyone who knows that the volume is a rich one, uses it as much as would be profitable. Examination will prove that it contains poetry, grammar rhetoric; advice and enlightenment regarding manners, customs, mythology, history, pronunciation besides a host of other things that we cannot stop to catalogue. It is entertaining as a means by which a passing hour may be profitably whiled away ;it is necessary as a means of acquiring exactness in writing and speaking; and, as it is now furnished, it explains much that is familiarly uttered or written in foreign tongues, which would otherwise be unintelligible to ordinary readers. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has placed a copy of the big dictionary in every school under its care, and probably many another State has done the same; but it cannot be said that every boy and girl in those schools uses the volume, or even knows how to use it.
