"All young persons should have a standard Dictionary at their
elbow; and while you are about it, get the best: that Dictionary
is Noah Webster's, the great work unabridged. If you are too
poor, save the amount from off your back, to put it into your
head."
"We can have no hesitation in giving it as our opinion, that this
is the most elaborate and successful undertaking of the kind
which has ever appeared."--_Times._
"The veteran Webster's work is the best and most useful
Dictionary of the English Language ever published. Every page
attests the learning and talent, the sound judgment and nice
discrimination, the great industry, profound research, and
surprising perseverance of the author. It is a very manifest
improvement on Todd's Johnson, and contains many thousand
more words than that or any other English Dictionary hitherto
published."--_Examiner._
