Seventy years passed before JOHNSON was followed by Webster, an American writer, who faced the task of the English Dictionary with a full appreciation of its requirements, leading to better practical.results." " •,,"is laborious comparison o( twenty languages, thm.gh never pub­ lished, bore fruit in his own mind, and his training placed him both in knowledge and judgment far· in advance of Johnson as a philologist. Webster's • AmeriCSB Dictionary of the English Language' was pub­ lished in 1828, and of course appeared at .once in England, where successive re-editing laaa IZ3 yel1cept it in the fiigh/JIt place IZ3 a practical . Dictionary." "The acceptance of an American Dictionary in England has itself had immense effect in keeping up the community of speech, to break which would be a grievous harm, not to English-speaking nations alone, but to mankind. The result of this has been that the common Dictionary must snit both sides of the Atlantic." , , , , "The good average bueiness-like character of Webster's Dictionary, both in style and matter, made it as distinctly suited as Johnson's was distinctly unsuited to be expanded and re-edited by other hands. Professor Goodrich's edition of 1847 Is not much more than enlarged and amended, but other revisions since have so much novelty of plan as to be described as distinct works." , , ,,' . "The American revised Webster's Dictionary of 1864, published in America and England, is of an altogether higher order than these last [The London Imperial and Student's]. It bears on its title-page the names of Drs. Goodrich and PortelO but inasmuch as its especial im­ provement Is in the etymological department, the care of which was committed to Dr. M.um, of Berlin, we prefer to describe it in short as the Webster-Malm Dictionary. Many other literary men, among them Professora Whitney and Dana, aided ill the task of compilation and revision. On consideration it seems that the editora and contributors have gone far toward improving Webster to the ntmost that he will bear improvement. The vocabulary haa beCOOUl almost complete, as regards IIsual words, w~ile the dejinitiom keep throughout to W'ebstln'" .impk careful style, and the derivations are assigned with the aid of good modem authorities.· ..
