REID'S SCHOOL DICTIONARY.

REDUCED to 5s., 19th Edition,

A DICTIONARY OF THE ENGLISH

This Work is adapted to the present state of the English language and the improved methods of teaching. While the Alphabetical arrangement is preserved, the Words are also grouped in such a manner as to show their Etymological affinity; and after the first Word of each group is given the Root from which they are derived. These Roots are afterwards arranged into a Vocabulary. At the end is an Accented List of Classical and Scriptural Proper Names.

If, in examining on the printed matter of this Manual, he occasionally add a remark borrowed from the larger work, he will be rewarded by finding that these viva voce interpolations are remembered often more accurately, and for a longer time, than the printed lesson.

The following pages are not, however, a mere abridgment of the author's larger work. The present Manual is intended for less advanced pupils.
