TENNEY.
On a new plan. The most useful Pocket Dictionary ever issued.
IN PREPARATION,
THE WORK OF YEARS OF STUDY AND RESEARCH.
Most excellent in scholarship. Most practical in all ways. Most
artistic in point of manufacture. Beautifully bound from special
artistic cover designs. Beautifully printed at the celebrated
UNIVERSITY PRESS of JOHN WILSON & SONS, Cambridge, Mass.
A SPELLING AND PRONOUNCING DICTIONARY, RATHER THAN A DEFINING ONE.
It has over eleven thousand words, with the pronunciation indicated in
a simple manner by a new system of diacritical marks, specially cast
for this book.
The New Imperial, Webster, Stormonth, Worcester and all other standard
Dictionaries have been constantly consulted and critically compared in
its preparation.
ITS OBJECT.
While not underrating the primary importance of definition and
philology in a work of reference, it is believed--nay, more than
that--it is known that there is a positive demand for a book showing
the correct pronunciation and spelling of every prominent word in the
language, which book should be in a convenient portable form for the
pocket, the writing-case, or the reading-table.
