Abstract
SINCE the appearance of the first volume of this work, noticed in NATURE, vol. 1. p. 146, we have often had occasion to refer to it, and have formed opinions as to its merits and faults. In many respects the dictionary is a very good one within its compass, though it does not contain much that is really new.
A Standard Dictionary of the English Language.
Vol. ii. Prepared under the supervision of Dr. I. K. Funk, Dr. F. A. March, and Dr. D. S. Gregory. (New York and London: Funk and Wagnall Co., 1895.)
