“When I was a growing lad, and came
upon many words in my reading that
I did not understand, my mother, in-.
stead of giving me the definition when
I applied to her, uniformly sent me to
the dictionary to learn it, and in this
way I gradually learned many things
besides the meaning of the individual
word in question —among other things,
how to use a dictionary, and the great’
pleasure and advantage there might
be in the use of the dictionary.
Afterwards, when I went to the village
school, my chief diversion, after les
sons were learned and" they
were recited, was in turning over the
pages of the ‘Unabridged’ of those
days. Now the most modern Una~
- bridged—theNEW INTERNATIONAL~
( gives me a pledsuré of the same sort.
Bo far as my knowledge extends, it is
. at present the best of the one-volume
dictionaries, and quite sufficient for
all ordinary uses. Even those who
possess the splendid dictionaries in
several volumes will yet find it a great
convenience to have this, which is so
compact, so full, and so trustworthy
as to leave, in most cases, little to be
desired.” — Albert S. Cook, Ph.D.,LL.D.,
. Professor of the English Lan~uage and
Literature, Yale Univ. April 28, 1911,
