"I can safely pronounce it to be the most perfect work of its kind that
has ever appeared. No man, literary or mercantile, should be without
it.--CHARLES EDWARD TINDAL, Rector of St. Andrew's Church, Dublin.
"I have examined 'Blackie's Imperial Dictionary,' and it appears to me
to be decidedly the best work of the kind in the English
language."--WALTER SCOTT, President and Theological Tutor of Airedale
Castle.
"I have great pleasure in bearing testimony to the beauty of the type,
the clearness of the definitions, and to the great addition of words of
recent introduction into our language. I have compared it with several
contemporary publications of a similar character, and hesitate not for
one moment to say, it is decidedly the best of those which have come
under my notice."--E. COBHAM BREWER, LL.D., Author of "Guide to
Science," &c.
