JUST ISSUED—NEW (4) REVISED EDITION--2000 NEW WORDS
It contains a maximum amount of matter in a minimum
space and at the lowest possible cost.
This book contains double the material in the ordinary students' dictionary , and yet, by the use of a clear, condensed type and thin paper of the finest quality, is only 1-3/4 inches in thickness. It is bound in full flexible leather, and is just the kind of a book that a man will want to keep on his desk for constant reference. The book makes a special feature of the newer words , and defines hundreds of important terms not to be found in any other dictionary. It is especially full in the matter of tables , containing more than a hundred of great practical value, including new tables of Tests, Stains and Staining Methods. A new feature is the inclusion of numerous handsome illustrations, many of them in colors, drawn and engraved specially for this book.
“I must acknowledge my astonishment at seeing how much he has condensed within relatively small space. I find nothing to criticise, very much to commend, and was interested in finding some of the new words which are not in other recent dictionaries.”—Roswell Park, Professor of Principles and Practice of Surgery and Clinical Surgery, University of Buffalo .
“Dr. Dorland's Dictionary is admirable. It is so well gotten up and of such convenient size. No errors have been found in my use of it.”—Howard A. Kelly, Professor of Gynecology, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore .
