Quality Rather Than Quantity.
President Ellot of Harvard University, says : "The International is a wonderfully compact storehouse of accurate information."
The International is Scientific and Practical.
It avoids competition as to size of vocabulary, ex- cluding a multitude of words as having no legiti- mate standing or as mis- chievous corruptions of "the well of English unde- filed." In arrangement of etymology and definitions it follows the historical or- der of derivation; the his- tory of a word being the best guide to its correct use. In indicating pronunciation it uses characters familiar to every reader, not re- quiring the acquisition of a new and strange alphabet. It avoids such running into one paragraph of different titles as is liable to cause difficulty and delay to the consulter.
WEBSTER'S INTERNATIONAL DICTIONARY
It is the School- Teacher of the Republic.
As an authority in the public schools, the position of Webster-both the In- ternational and abridg- ments,-is one of unques- tioned supremacy. Fresh testimonials to this effect have been received from all State Superintendents of Schools, and the Presi- dents of Universities and Colleges. The number of schoolbooks based upon Webster; its exclusive choice wherever a state purchase has been made for schools; the presence of a larger or smaller Webster in the common schoolroom - in these re- spects no other dictionary or series of dic- tionaries is to be named in comparison.
