the “Illustrated Webster Spelling Book,” whether considered in respect to its Typography, Binding, or Beauty of its Illustrations, must take the highest position as a School-Book, entirely setting aside the old-fashioned, and, in most instances, unintelligible—so called—helps to learning.

N.B.—Be careful to order “THE ILLUSTRATED WEBSTER SPELLING BOOK.”

WEBSTER’S
POCKET PRONOUNCING DICTIONARY

Of the English Language;

Condensed from the Original Dictionary by Noah Webster, LL.D. With Accented Vocabularies of Classical, Scriptural, and Modern Geographical Names. Revised Edition, by William G. Webster (Son of Noah Webster). Royal 16mo, cloth gilt, 2s. 6d.; or strongly bound in roan, gilt, 3s.

*_∗* The Public will do well to be on their guard against unfair statements in reference to “Dr. Webster’s” principle of pronunciation by accents. The old system of pronunciation by mis-spelling words has become obsolete, and Dr. Webster’s method is universally acknowledged and adopted.

WEBSTER’S DICTIONARY
OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.

The extraordinary success attendant upon the publication of the Half-crown Edition of Webster’s Pocket Pronouncing Dictionary of the English Language,—in the face of a most obstinate and inveterate opposition on the part of the proprietors of the out-of-date and worthless compilations, so called Dictionaries, printed from old stereotype plates, which have remained unaltered for years,—has induced Messrs. Ward and Lock to issue a CHEAPER EDITION FOR THE MILLION, price only ONE SHILLING AND SIXPENCE!!!

*_∗* The New Edition at 1s. 6d. will, of course, be printed on thinner paper, but still the type will appear perfectly distinct. It is almost unnecessary to state, that only an enormous sale can reimburse the Publishers in issuing an edition at so low a price as 1s. 6d.; still, Messrs. Ward and Lock feel assured that their good intentions will be appreciated by an extensive and continually increasing sale. “Webster” is now the only reliable authority on the English Language, and it is only right that every Englishman, however humble his sphere, should be able to purchase the best English Dictionary. Whilst the Cheaper Edition, at 1s. 6d., is well adapted for National and British Schools, the Half-Crown Edition, on superior paper, and bound in cloth, gilt lettered, will be always in demand for Schools of a higher grade.

Third Edition, Revised.
THE ILLUSTRATED DRAWING BOOK.

Comprising a complete Introduction to Drawing and Perspective; with Instructions for Etching on Copper or Steel, &c. &c. By Robert Scott Burn. Illustrated with above 300 Subjects for Study in every branch of Art. Demy 8vo, cloth, 2s.

*_∗* This extremely popular and useful “Drawing Book” has been thoroughly revised by the Author, and many new Illustrations are added, thus rendering the Third Edition the most perfect Handbook of Drawing for Schools and Students.

*_∗* “This is one of those cheap and useful publications lately issued by Ward and Lock. It is what it professes to be—an elementary book, in which the rules laid down are simple and few, and the drawings to be copied and studied are easily delineated and illustrative or first principles.”—Globe.

*_∗* “We could point to a work selling for twelve shillings not half so complete, nor containing half the number of illustrations. Perhaps of all the books for which the public are indebted to Messrs. Ward and Lock this one will be found most extensively and practically useful. It is the completest thing of the kind which has ever appeared.”—Tait’s Magazine.

*_∗* “This is a very capital Instruction Book, embodying a complete course of Lessons in Drawing, from the first Elements of Outline Sketching up to the most elaborate rules of the Art.”—Bristol Mercury.

Just ready, Second Edition, Revised by the Author.
THE ILLUSTRATED ARCHITECTURAL, ENGINEERING,
AND MECHANICAL DRAWING BOOK.

Third and Revised Edition.
MECHANICS AND MECHANISM.
By Robert Scott Burn. With about 250 Illustrations. Demy 8vo, cloth, 2s.

“One of the best-considered and most judiciously-illustrated elementary treatises on Mechanics and Mechanism which we have met with. The illustrations, diagrams, and explanations are skilfully introduced, and happily apposite—numerous and beautifully executed. As a handbook for the instruction of youth, it would be difficult to surpass it.”—Derby Mercury.

Second Edition, Revised by the Author.
THE STEAM ENGINE:
ITS HISTORY AND MECHANISM.

Being Descriptions and Illustrations of the Stationary, Locomotive, and Marine Engine. By Robert Scott Burn. Demy 8vo, 200 pp., cloth, 3s.

“Mr. Burn’s History of the Steam Engine treats an interesting subject in an admirably intelligible manner, and is illustrated by some excellent Diagrams. This is a book for
