“We will now take leave of this magnificent monument of patient toil,
careful research, judicious selection, and magnanimous self-denial
(for it requires great self-denial to abstain from undesired
originality), with a hearty wish for its success. It is sad to
think that the result of so much labour, from which Hercules, had
he been intellectually inclined, would have shrunk appalled, should
be barren fame; yet we can easily believe that Dr. Worcester (as he
says) expects no adequate pecuniary compensation for his gigantic
undertaking: for it is difficult to imagine a sum which could
adequately compensate the man who has produced the completest and the
cheapest English Dictionary which the world has yet seen.”—_Critic._
