Further, to suit the convenience of those who may desire

The Times, reviewing the part of the Oxford Dictionary
in which this table was given, said:—»The figures go far to
explain the immense difference in scale and thoroughness between
the great Oxford work and any other of the kind.»
The Athenaeum also said:—»The numerical proportion of
the words treated, and especially of the illustrative quotations,
as compared with those in any other dictionary, shows the
preeminent superiority of this colossal work.»
In a more recent review the Athenaeum observes:—»It is
to be hoped that enough has been said to induce all earnest
students of English literature to become subscribers to this
magnificent storehouse of necessary information, if they have
not already subscribed. It is much better to possess one’s own
copy than to use that in a public library.»
