960354 PREFACE TO NINETEENTH EDITION.
The original work, now freshly offered to the public, was
published in 1865, and has remained since that date the author-
ity in the department which it occupies, and the model upon
which many books of like character have been constructed. It
has been in constant demand, and, so far as it covers literature
when it was first compiled, remains practicallyup to the date
quarter century, however, adds materially tocomplete. A of a
the stock of fiction, and gives opportunity for fictitious charac-
noted and familiar. publishers thereforeters to become The
originalhave deemed it proper to add an appendix to the work,
and have entrusted the preparation to the competent hand of
Mr. Charles G. Wheeler, a nephew of the editor of the work,
who was associated with his uncle in compiling the companion
volume Familiar Allusions.
In constructing the Appendix, Mr. Wheeler has kept care-
fully to the spirit and plan of the original work. His main task
has been to glean from the copious literature of the last twenty-
five years such additions demanded by the judgment ofas seem
readers but he has opportunity to supply a few; also taken the
omissions in he had thethe original work, and for this has aid
of notes left for the purpose by the late Mr. William A. Wheeler.
The new edition, therefore, of the Dictionary represents the
latest and most thoroughly ordered survey of the field which it
occupies.
