WEBSTER'S

DICTIONARIES

ARE THE STANDARD, because they excel all others
in the fullness of their

ETYMOLOGIES, SYNONYMS AND

DEFINITIONS.

N all these respects the School Dictionaries, as compared with other dictionaries of similar grade, are equally preeminent with the Unabridged. A copy of

WEBSTER'S PRIMARY DICTIONARY

WEBSTER'S COMMON-SCHOOL DICTIONARY, or
WEBSTER'S HIGH-SCHOOL DICTIONARY

Should be in the hands of every pupil in our public and private schools.

We ask especial attention of teachers and High School and Academic pupils to the

ACADEMIC DICTIONARY

As in every way the best student's dictionary aside from the Unabridged. In the matter of etymologies, synonyms, and definitions, it is beyond all comparison the best book for the pupil's desk, discriminating clearly as to the origin, use, and office of every word.

In view of all these facts, we confidently urge upon school officers the importance of making the use of Webster's School Dictionaries in their schools as general as that of any other text-book on the list.

Liberal terms will be made for the supply of these books for first introduction into schools, and for specimen copies of the various books for examination and the use of teachers.
