Abstract
WE consider ourselves justified in reviewing an English dictionary in these pages for two reasons; first, because the method of its construction ought to be rigidly scientific, and second, because a large proportion of the words in any modern English dictionary must necessarily be scientific terms.
A Dictionary of the English Language.
Abridged by the Editor from that of Dr. Samuel Johnson, as Edited by Robert Gordon Latham, M.A., M,D., &c. (London: Longmans and Co., 1876.)
