DICTIONARY
The Funk & Wagnalls
Desk Standard
Dictionary
This entirely new work, which is the most recent of the abridgments from the New Standard Dictionary, describes and explains 80,000 words, phrases, and topics of interest.
It is a special handy-sized dictionary designed particularly for desk use in the office, the college, the study, and for handy reference on the library table.
Its vocabulary is sufficiently inclusive to cover all words that may be met with in study or in reading.
Every term has its own alphabetical place in the main vocabulary—no confusing appendix.
It contains more than 6,000 discriminating articles and groups of Synonyms, occupying 11,700 lines—2,000 more than any other dictionary of the same size. There are 1,200 Pictorial Illustrations.
"Of uncommon usefulness and convenience."
