Synopsis
Excerpt from Dictionary of the English Language
The household dictionary of Dr. Worcester, based upon the well-known Academic Dictionary of the distinguished author, will be found to contain in its extensive vocabulary some fifty thousand words succinctly, defined, the pronunciation of which is indicated with that scrupulous accuracy for which Dr. Worcester's series of books have ever been noted. An important feature has been given to the work by bringing into view the principal synonymes of the language, - a fea ture which it is believed 'will be of essential service to the reader in enabling him to understand the meaning and proper use of words. It has been rendered as complete as its limits Would permit, with respect to all. Well-authorized English words, and also to all other words concerning which an English reader most needs information as to their orthography, pronunciation, or meaning. Thus, it comprises, in ad dition to the common words of the language, numerous technical terms in the various arts and sciences, some words which are obsolete or antiquated but are found in books that are much read, some which are local or provincial, some which are peculiar to the United States, and a large number of such words and phrases from foreign languages as are often met with in English books.
