That's the title of a book I found at a yard sale, publication date--1897.
It has a dictionary of the English language, plus a section for American English... among other things. The 1890s are my favourite decade and this book is a wonderful snapshot on the times. It will be the subject of a few blog posts.

"Indispensable to every intelligent person throughout the English-speaking world!" Uhm... what does it say that I cannot seem to find this book on my shelf?
