Excerpt from Allgemeines Englisch-Deutsches Und Deutsch-Englisches Woerterbuch, Vol. 2 of 2: Zwei Theile in Drei Banden; Deutsch-Englisch It is the constant endeavour of the author, and as well of the publisher, of the present work so to improve it as to keep pace with the progress of the day. As the book is stereotyped, it was necessary to contract or even to omit altogether less important articles in order to give space for a number of desirable additions. It is true that the difficulty of deciding what ought to be admitted, and what to be excluded, is ever growing with the unceasing influx of new words and combinations, but the very multitude of the words suing for admission, prevented the author from entering upon a childish chase after the phantom of so-called completeness On the other hand it was not possible, for the present, to find a place for a number of suggestions kindly offered and gratefully received; in this connection Prof. Odermann, of Dresden, and, for the German and English part, Mr. C. Trafford, M. A., of Nottingham High School, deserve special mention. It is hoped that the fa vour hitherto shown to the work, will be continued to it in this its new shape.
