Synopsis
Excerpt from A Primary School Dictionary of the English Language, Explanatory, Pronouncing, and Synonymous: With an Appendix Containing Various Useful Tables, Mainly Abridged From the Latest Edition of the American Dictionary of Noah Webster, LL. D
This little volume has been prepared with the design of furnish ing the younger pupils in our schools with a Dictionary sufficiently full and complete to meet all their ordinary wants, yet small in size and of. Very moderate cost. Miscellaneous readers, however, will find it a convenient and serviceable manual for consultation, espe cially with respect to the pronunciation and spelling of the common words of 'our language. The general plan is the same as that of the Common School Dictionary, and though less comprehensive in its vocabulary, somewhat less copious in its explanations, and having fewer wood-cuts, it retains the most important and valuable features of that work. It has been brought within the limits it occupies by the omission of many derivatives in er, z's/z, less, 131, ness, ship, in, out, over, an, under, and the like, inasmuch as most words of this sort present no difficulty of orthography, pronunciation, or interpretation; by occasional retrenchment of definitions and syno nyms by leaving out or slightly abridging several of the Tables or Vocabularies of the Appendix; and'by various typographical and other expedients for saving space.
