The “New Webster Dictionary and Complete Vest-Pocket Library” stands pre-eminent, not only because of its superior excellence as a dictionary, but because it has within its covers four other books of equal excellence.
The dictionary is a practical embodiment of the great International Webster, so far as spelling and pronunciation are concerned, containing, as it does, 45,800 words, or nearly twice as many as the average pocket dictionary, and all the diacritical marks are given; both primary and secondary accents; all the syllable divisions, and second spellings and second pronunciations, precisely as in the latest edition of the unabridged Webster, the revision of 1890.
The definitions afford the richest collection of synonyms to be found in the English language, and there is an exceedingly valuable department of proper names and proper adjectives.
This dictionary is so nearly complete, and affords so good a degree of satisfaction, that it is being used in thousands of offices, studies and schools, to save the time and trouble of handling the ponderous unabridged.
The entire Library weighs only about two ounces, and is of convenient size for the vest pocket or the writing desk. It is neither too wide nor too thick.
The four additional books are as follows: (1) A pronouncing and statistical Gazetteer of the World, giving the correct spelling and pronunciation of the name of every Country, State and Province in the world. (2) A Complete Parliamentary Manual. (3) A Rapid Calculator and Compendium of Business and Social Forms. (4) A Letter Writer and Literary Guide.
