No man, howover studious, how- ever great his attainments, however extensive his infor- mation, but is more or less dependent on his books. Every reader, every student, every searcher after knowledge, depends a great deal on his dictionary. In fact, no study, no home library is complete without a good dictionary. The latest and best is The Standard No dictionary has received so much praise from the people—scholars, students, teachers, professors and the people. An opportunity is offered the people to procure a Standard Dictionary for $7.00 This low price places the book within the reach of so many that a discussion of the merits of the book seems in vain. But here are some of the opinions: R. D.

THE STANDARD will bear comparison with any other dictionary because there is nothing omitted. THE STANDARD contains the best definitions from the most eminent scholars of the day.
