Retaining all of the characteristic superior features of the old Standard, which have given that work worldwide fame, this yet more stupendous book adds others exclusive and of immense value. Here are but
A Few of Its Many Points of
Surpassing Superiority:
ONE ALPHABETICAL ORDER throughout its entire vocabulary, an immense time-saving feature,—no divided pages, supplemental vocabularies, etc.
THE COMMON MEANING OF EVERY WORD is given in its first definition and the obsolete meaning last as it should be.
KEY-WORDS TO THE CONTENTS of every two facing pages greatly aid consultation.
TWO KEYS TO PRONUNCIATION are placed at the top of every page.
COMMON ERRORS OF SPEECH are systematically corrected.
A SYSTEMATIC METHOD OF COMPOUNDING words reduces compounding to a science.
RULES GOVERNING THE PLURALS of nouns and their formation are a great help.
GRAMMATICAL AND RHETORICAL CONSTRUCTION are aided by the special rules which the New Standard explains.
