Thoroughly revised and much enlarged. Over 3,000 fine engravings. Is a wellnigh indispensable requisite for every intelligent family.

It contains 10,000 WORDS and MEANINGS not found in other dictionaries. It is now believed to be by far the most complete, useful, and satisfactory dictionary of the language ever published, as it is by far the largest single volume ever issued in any language.

The possession of any other English dictionary, or any previous edition of this, can not compensate for the want of this very full and complete one. In its present perfected state it must long remain the BEST ENGLISH DICTIONARY, and once possessed, remain of constant and abiding value.

What book, beside the Bible, so indispensable as a good dictionary?

"I think it not only a great improvement upon former issues of the same work, but superior, in most respects, to any other English dictionary known to me. The labors of the recent editors and contributors have made it undoubtedly the best general etymologicon we yet possess of the language; its vocabulary is as ample as could well be given in the compass of a single volume; its definitions are, in general, sufficiently exact and discriminating; and its pronunciation is apparently conformable to the best usage."-Hon. George P. Marsh, Florence, Italy, March 7th, 1866. "Etymological part remarkably well done. We have had no English diction

ary nearly so good in this respect."-North American Review, January, 1865.

"In our opinion, it is the best dictionary that either England or America can boast."-National Quarterly Review, October, 1834.

"No English scholar can dispense with this work."-Bibliotheca Sacra, January, 1865. "Truly a Magnum Opus, a monument of industry, research, and erudition, worthy the most cordial recognition and the highest praise of all who write, speak or study the English language." -Evangelical Quarterly Review, January, 1865.

"In its general accuracy, completeness, and practical utility, the work is one which none who can read or write can henceforward afford to dispense with."-Atlantic Monthly, November, 1864. "Viewed as a whole, we are confident that no other living language has a dictionary which so fully and faithfully sets forth its present condition as this last edition of Webster does that of our written and spoken English tongue."-Harper's Magazine, January, 1865.

"THE NEW WEBSTER is glorious-it is perfect-it distances and defies competition-it leaves nothing to be desired."-J. H. Raymond, LL. D., President of Vassar College.

WEBSTER'S SCHOOL DICTIONARIES, Viz.:

I. THE PRIMARY.
II. COMMON SCHOOL.

III. HIGH SCHOOL.
IV. ACADEMIC.

V. COUNTING HOUSE. VI. UNIVERSITY.

These popular School Dictionaries, having been thoroughly revised, and extensively regarded as the standard authority in Orthography, Definition, and Pronunciation, and as THE BEST dictionaries in use, are respectfully commended to teachers and others. They are much more extensively sold and used than all others combined.

Webster's School Dictionaries are sold by J. B. LIPPINCOTT & CO., Philadelphia; IVISON, PHINNEY, BLAKEMAN & CO., New York; S. C. GRIGGS & CO., Chicago; SARGENT, WILSON & HINKLE, Cincinnati; and by all Booksellers.

Twenty-five copies of WEBSTER'S NEW ILLUSTRATED DICTIONARY have lately been placed in as many of the Boston public schools by the School Board of that city.

The state of Maryland having recently established a Free School system, its State Board of Education has adopted Webster's series of dictionaries as the standard, and for exclusive use in the public schools of that State.

Nearly every State Superintendent of Public Instruction in the Union, or corresponding officer, where such an one exists, has recommended WEBSTER'S DICTIONARY in the strongest terms. Among them are those of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Michigan, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Carolina, Alabama, California, and also Canada-TWENTY-FOUR in all.

More than ten times as many are sold of Webster's Dictionaries, as of any other series in this country. At least four-fifths of all the school books published in this country own Webster as their standard, and of the remainder, few acknowledge any standard.

WALTON'S SERIES OF ARITHMETICS,

CONSISTS OF

I. Walton's Pictorial Primary Arithmetic.
II. Walton's Intellectual Arithmetic.

III. Walton's Written Arithmetic.

THE PICTORIAL PRIMARY ARITHMETIC is designed to give the young learner his FIRST LESSONS IN NUMBERS. It is appropriately illustrated, and pursues the OBJECT METHOD; it is simple, complete, and original. presenting the elementary combinations of numbers in a series of progressive lessons, calculated to interest and develop the mind of the child.

THE INTELLECTUAL - ARITHMETIC contains a full course of MENTAL EXERCISES, together with an INTRODUCTION to WRITTEN ARITHMETIC; and not only forms a connecting link in the series, but, used independently, meets the wants of the large class of students who can devote but little time to this study.

THE WRITTEN ARITHMETIC, for Common and Higher Schools, is a thoroughly analytical and progressive work; it presents the science of numbers in a philosophical manner, and affords a more full and varied practice than any other book of its class. Its original and thorough system of reviews commends it to every practical teacher. A distinguishing feature of this Arithmetic is its adaptation to the present wants of business life.

WALTON'S DICTATION EXERCISES

KEYS, Parts I. & II.,

These Exercises are so arranged that the Teacher may assign a SEPARATE EXAMPLE TO EACH PUPIL, in a class of 25, at a single dictation. They are especially designed for REVIEWS and TEST EXERCISES, and may be used in connection with, and supplementary to, any series of Arithmetics.
