N assuming, with pardonable pride, the labor of revision of a work which has, for forty years, so signally enjoyed the confidence and favor of the profession, the Editor has endeavored to bring it thoroughly up to the require ments of the day, for in the words of the Author, in his preface to the last edition it has been his ardent wish to make the work a satisfactory and desirable, if not indispensable, lexicon, in which the inquirer may search, with out disappointment for every term that has been legitimated in the nomencla ture of the science. The Author had already commenced the revision of the dictionary when prostrated by the prolonged illness which terminated his useful and valuable life, and the results of his labors will be found everywhere throughout the work.
