“A compact and handy Pocket Dictionary, with a brief and concise definition of words of general utility, or such as may present a temporary difficulty to the student, is, we believe, a desideratum.  Many words of the English language in common and daily use, and which offer no variation in general orthography or orthoepy, may be safely omitted from a miniature volume of this kind without detriment to its purpose of usefulness, and we are therefore enabled to produce a neat and unique Dictionary, which we hope will prove serviceable and meet with the approbation 0f all classes – Dr. Mazawattee.”
