THE NEW ENGLISH DICTIONARY.

[TO THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."]

Ste,—In the notice of the "New English Dictionary" which you were good enough to give in the Spectator of July 14th there is an error as to the price of the sections. The two quarterly sections published at the beginning of this month,— viz., " Inferable-Inpushing," by Dr. Murray, and " Gradely- Greement," by Mr. Bradley, are published at 2s. 6d. each ; but the price of the monthly number issued at the same time, containing the words "Brandy-Brute," is 3s. 6d. The monthly issue was commenced in July, 1899, for the convenience of subscribers. Each number contains eighty-eight pages.—I am, Sir, &c., HENRY FROWDE. Oxford University Press, Amen Corner, R.O.
