THE OXFORD ENGLISH DICTIONARY * . Slowlthough this great book is
progressing , its appearance y gives promise that it will be the most important national work which
English philology has produced in this and several preceding generations . Two sections
have been published , together forming the fourth part . The first of these sections brings
the work down to the end of * B , ' which is the conclusion of the first volume . The second
section begins the letter ' C ' and also comj mences ( ^ k ^ b ^^^ ^ ^^ ~| » ^^^ ~ r the ^ h ^ ^ V » ^^ ~ - — second i ~ i f ^^ # - ^^^ - ^^ r ^ h ^ K ^^^^ k volume V ^^ X - ^ fc ^^^ l ^ ^^ * k ^^^ T .

containing 'A' and B' more than thirty thousand words are minutely spoken of , showing the nature of the Herculean task which
Dr . Murray has so auspiciously commenced . Nearlfour thousand words appear in the first
y XX section of ' C . ' Dr . Murray supplies a most interesting preface to the new instalments l ,
and remarks that , compared with B , ' ' C ' has a small proportion of Old English or '
Teutonic words . C , ' however , has a larger proportion of classical and Celtic words . The
English people should look with interest upon the continuance of this stupendous and
masterly publication . . ¦ . »* si ¦¦ - < -
