His first work in lexicography was an edition of " Johnson's Dictionary, combined with Walkers's Pronunciation," an octavo volume of 1156 pages, first published in IS28. In 1829, against his own inclination, he was induced, through the persistent urgency of the publisher of Webster's Quarto Dictionary (who was his personal friend) to prepare an abridgement of that work, a task to which he was strongly averse, and at first refused, a refusal to which he after- wards regretted that he did not adhere. This work appeared in 1830, in an octavo volume of 1071 pages, into which he incorpo- rated much valuable matter which he had prepared for his own dictionaries. The same year he published the first edition of his "Comprehensive Dictionary," a duodecimo volume of 420 pages. This work was the first of his own dictionaries, and at once had an extensive sale and soon passed through many editions.
In IS31 he made a voyage to Europe where he spent many months in visiting places of interest, and in the collection of works in the departments of philology and lexicography, for use in his future publications.
Upon his return from Europe, he became the editor of the "American Almanac," a statistical, closely printed, duodecimo Annual, each number containing about 350 pages, which he con- tinued to edit for eleven years, with his accustomed care and fidel- ity. In 1846, his " Universal and Critical Dictionary" was first published-a large, closely printed royal octavo volume of 1031 pages, and also the same year, his .. Elementary School Dictionary."
In 1847, Dr. Worcester was threatened with total loss of sight. His eyes had yielded to his long, unbroken intellectual labor, and for two years he was nearly blind. In the meanwhile, three op- erations were performed on his right eye (which became wholly blind), and two on the left eye, which was happily saved. After the partial recovery of his sight, Dr. Worcester published the fol- lowing works :

From a memoir of Dr. Worcester read before the American Academy, by Ezra Abbot, LL. D., Librarian of Harvard college, a few lines are here transcribed, presenting an estimate of his lit- erary labors by one who was familiar with them. " All the works of Dr. Worcester, (says the author of this memoir,) give evidence of sound judgment and good taste, combined with indefatigable in- dustry, and a conscientious solicitude for accuracy in the statement of facts. The tendency of his mind was practical, rather than speculative.
" As a lexicographer, he did not undertake to reform the anom- alies of the English language. His aim was rather to preserve it from corruption. In regard to both Orthography and Pronouncia- tion, he took great pains to ascertain the best usage, and perhaps there is no lexicographer whose judgment respecting these matters in doubtful cases deserves higher consideration."
Dr. Worcester was a member of the Massachusetts Historical Society-of the American Academy-of the American Oriental Society, and an Honorary member of the Royal Geographical So- city of London. He received the honorary degree of LL. D .. from Brown University in 1847, and from Dartmouth college in 1856.
In a biographical sketch of Dr. Worcester, by Hon. George S. Hillard, it is said of him, "His long and busy life was passed in unbroken literary toil. Though his manners were reserved, and his habits retiring, his affections were strong ; and benevolence was an ever active principle in his nature. * * He was a stranger to the impulses of passion and the sting of ambition. His life was tran- quil, happy and useful. A love of truth and a strong sense of duty
