SPECIMEN TESTIMONIALS.

Chief Justice Waite, of the U.S. Supreme Court, says: Webster's Dictionary is
recognized as standard authority in the court over which I preside, and its usefulness
increases as the successive editions appear.

The Supreme Court of Va., Oct., 1886.—In our opinion it is the best in the English
language. We not only recognize it as standard authority, but deem it invaluable.—
Signed by all the Judges.

Similar expressions have been received from the Supreme Courts of many of the
other States, including New York, Ill., Neb., Minn., N. C., Ga., Ind., Mo., O., Penn., &c.

Government Printing Office, Washington, Oct. 21, 1886.—Webster will continue
to be the standard in the use of the English language in this office.—

T. E. BENEDICT, Public Printer.
