WEBSTER’S DICTIONARY
OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
The extraordinary success attendant upon the publication of the Half-crown Edition of Webster’s Pocket Pronouncing Dictionary of the English Language,—in the face of a most obstinate and inveterate opposition on the part of the proprietors of the out-of-date and worthless compilations, so called Dictionaries, printed from old stereotype plates, which have remained unaltered for years,—has induced Messrs. Ward and Lock to issue a CHEAPER EDITION FOR THE MILLION, price only ONE SHILLING AND SIXPENCE!!!
*∗* The New Edition at 1s. 6d. will, of course, be printed on thinner paper, but still the type will appear perfectly distinct. It is almost unnecessary to state, that only an enormous sale can reimburse the Publishers in issuing an edition at so low a price as 1s. 6d.; still, Messrs. Ward and Lock feel assured that their good intentions will be appreciated by an extensive and continually increasing sale. “Webster” is now the only reliable authority on the English Language, and it is only right that every Englishman, however humble his sphere, should be able to purchase the best English Dictionary. Whilst the Cheaper Edition, at 1s. 6d., is well adapted for National and British Schools, the Half-Crown Edition, on superior paper, and bound in cloth, gilt lettered, will be always in demand for Schools of a higher grade.
Third Edition, Revised.
THE ILLUSTRATED DRAWING BOOK.
Comprising a complete Introduction to Drawing and Perspective; with Instructions for Etching on Copper or Steel, &c. &c. By Robert Scott Burn. Illustrated with above 300 Subjects for Study in every branch of Art. Demy 8vo, cloth, 2s.
*∗* This extremely popular and useful “Drawing Book” has been thoroughly revised by the Author, and many new Illustrations are added, thus rendering the Third Edition the most perfect Handbook of Drawing for Schools and Students.
