THE STUDENT'S

ENGLISH DICTIONARY,

ETYMOLOGICAL, PRONOUNCING, AND EXPLANATORY.

By JOHN OGILVIE, LL.D.,

46

EDITOR OF THE IMPERIAL" AND THE 66 COMPREHENSIVE" DICTIONARIES.

Illustrated by about Three Hundred Engravings on Wood.

1. Fulness. It comprises all thoroughly English words used by the best writers, excepting a number of easily, because analogically, formed derivatives.

2. Etymology. It contains a full and satisfactory Etymology, in which the words are traced to their ultimate source, and the foreign vocables employed are generally translated into English. In this department every principal word has been made the subject of distinct inquiry.

3. It gives accurate Root Meanings of the words, followed by the secondary Meanings, arranged in a natural sequence. The STUDENT'S ENGLISH DICTIONARY is the only English Dictionary possessing this very useful and important feature.

4. The Definitions are peculiarly full and very concisely stated, and are fitted to meet at the same time the requirements of the junior and of the advanced student.

5. The Pronunciation has been adopted from the Comprehensive Dictionary by the same editor, for which it was prepared by Richard Cull, F.S.A.

6. The method employed of exhibiting the pronunciation by re-writing the words and using accented letters, is simple and easily understood-each page contains the key.

7. Numerous Pictorial Illustrations have been introduced, which add to the utility of the Work, and convey accurate impressions where verbal definitions fail of their object.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

From the Nonconformist, 16th Oct., 1865. "Dr. Ogilvie-to whom we owe that noble work, The Imperial Dictionary and its Supplement, and who lately furnished us with that valuable household work, The Comprehensive Dictionary, better far, as we said at the tine, than any abridged Webster that had appeared-now places under deep obligation our students and higher form school-boys, by the publication of a condensed work, on which he has bestowed five years' unremitting labour, the distinctive merit of which is, that by the aid of the scientific etymological inquiries of modern scholars it traces the words to their ultimate sources, inserts their roots and primary meaning, and presents their other meanings in a natural order according to usage.

Our judgment of the work, which of course does not contain so many words as the larger works of the author, is briefly this, that it is all that could be accomplished within its compass as a guide to the etymologies and affinities of our language, and as to the original and secondary meaning of words; and that, by the addition of Mr. Cull's "pronunciations" on a capital system, it has been satisfactorily completed as the very best of school and college dictionaries of the English tongue.""

From the Civil Service Gazette, 2nd Sept., 1865. "We can conscientiously say of it, after a close examination of its merits, that while it reflects the highest credit on the learned author and his assistant. it is an invaluable gift to the rising generation. This admirable Dictionary is strictly etymological and copiously explanatory, and every word in it has its proper pronunciation attached to it, the word being re-written and marked in a manner simple and easily understood. This plan

and arrangement have been carried into execution with as much judgment as labour, and the result a most learned and useful Student's English Dictionary. Το gentlemen preparing for the Civil Service Examiners, this Dictionary will be of incalculable utility."

From the Papers for the Schoolmaster, Oct, 1885. "Dr. Ogilvie's English Dictionary will supply a want long felt, for there was no good work of the kind of medium size adapted to the wants of young students The work before us is a marvel, whether for the quart and quality of its matter, or for the low price at which it is offered. Its sale will doubtless be as large as its merits To teachers we commend it as the best and cheapest Dictionary in the language; it, indeed, distances by far anything of the kind before published."

From the Atlas, 16th Sept., 1865.

"The Student's' is a bulky, copious, and extensive manual, published at half-a-guinea, and it comprises a that nine hundred and ninety-nine readers out of a thensand need to possess. It is at once a manual for the pure philological or grammatical student, and a handbook for the professional man, the man of business, and every ordinary reader, who simply wants to get the meaning without troubling about the origin of a word."
