WEBSTER'S SECONDARY SCHOOL DICTIONARY

Full buckram, 8vo, 864 pages. Containing over 70,000 words, with 1000
illustrations.

This new dictionary is based on Webster's New International Dictionary
and therefore conforms to the best present usage. It presents the
largest number of words and phrases ever included in a school
dictionary--all those, however new, likely to be needed by any pupil.
It is a reference book for the reader and a guide in the use of
English, both oral and written. It fills every requirement that can be
expected of a dictionary of moderate size.

¶ This new book gives the preference to forms of spelling now current
in the United States. In the matter of pronunciation such alternatives
are included as are in very common use. Each definition is in the form
of a specific statement accompanied by one or more synonyms, between
which careful discrimination is made.

¶ In addition, this dictionary includes an unusual amount of
supplementary information of value to students: the etymology,
syllabication and capitalization of words; many proper names from
folklore, mythology, and the Bible; a list of prefixes and suffixes;
all irregularly inflected forms; rules for spelling; 2329 lists of
synonyms, in which 3518 words are carefully discriminated; answers
to many questions on the use of correct English constantly asked by
pupils; a guide to pronunciation; abbreviations used in writing and
printing; a list of 1200 foreign words and phrases; a dictionary of
5400 proper names of persons and places, etc.
