Excerpt from The Waverley Pictorial Dictionary, Vol. 1 It is amazing how one's fund of knowledge will gradually but unfailingly be enriched in this way, and it is no less amazing how frequently one is called upon to refer to such a work, even if only a working knowledge of a language is desired. In the course of our every-day conversa tion we make use of words that are, naturally, familiar to us; but in the course of our daily reading, how often do we meet with words that are unfamiliar P It may be that some of these words, as words, are known to us, yet we do not fully appreciate their meaning, or their different meanings for many words possess a number of meanings - nor would we know exactly how, where, or when to use these words if we wished to include them in our conversation or our writings. Pronunciation, too, we may find another barrier difficult to overcome, and this may well be so, considering that in very many instances there is a difference of opinion even among authorities on the English language as to the way in which certain words should be pronounced.

Excerpt from A Dictionary of Terms Used in Printing It has been the endeavour of the compiler of this little volume, to give a great deal of useful information in a small compass. Whether he has succeeded, or not, he must leave others to judge. He does not intend to put himself forward as a rival to "Savage," or any other English writer on the subject; but he hopes to be of some assistance to the Printers of Madras. Under the heads, Apprentice, Lay up, Distribute, Composing, Spacing, Make up, Imposing, Correcting, Clicker, Companionship, Overseer, Reader, Abbreviation, Division, Orthography, Phrases, Punctuation, &c., he has endeavoured to give instructions which may help to make good workmen, or enable persons in charge of presses, who are not Printers, to understand better what are the duties of the workmen in their employ. Fine Presswork, Making ready, Rollers, and many minor heads, are intended for the instruction of Pressmen as well as of those who have them in charge. While under Printing, Type-founding, Machines, Paper, Stereotyping, will be found brief notices of the Discovery and progress of Letter Press Printing. Short notices of Engraving on Copper, Steel, and Wood, Electrography, Glgphography, and Lithography have also been inserted, as being peculiarly connected with the Art of Printing.

Excerpt from The Waverley Pictorial Dictionary, Vol. 2 Amusements and Pageants that have Come Down to Us from Early Times carnival (kar' ni val), n. The days before Lent, devoted to revelry; a joyous festival; festive amusement. (F. carnaval.) Long ago when Lent was much more widely and strictly observed than it is to-day, the few days just before Ash Wednesday were given over to amusements and pageants, and the name ought really to be reserved for this particular time. In very early times the carnival began on Twelfth Night (January 6th) and continued up to and including Shrove Tuesday, but from about the year 1600 the public rejoicings were cut down to a shorter period. In Naples and other Italian towns very elaborate programmes are arranged, extending over a period of six, or seven days, but in Spain the carnival lasts only four days, and in France it is cut down to one day - Shrove Tuesday itself. The feast of Mardi Gras, as it is called in France, is, however, celebrated nationally, and the day is a feast day throughout the whole country. Many Christians do not eat meat during Lent, and the carnival is, as it were, a farewell festival in anticipation of this time of self-denial. Lord Byron refers to this in the sixth book of his poem "Beppo," in which he says: This feast is named the Carnival, which being Interpreted implies "farewell to flesh" So call'd because, the name and thing agreeing, Through Lent they live on fish both salt and fresh. Byron, it will be seen, was mistaken about the derivation of the word. A wider meaning has now become attached to the word, however, and any gay festival during which decorations such as flags and flowers are used, or fancy dresses are worn, is known as a carnival. Some of them, such as the flower carnivals of the Riviera, are magnificent spectacles. Huge and elaborate cars, in which are set up gigantic figures representing King Carnival, Neptune, and other characters, pass through the streets, accompanied by thousands of gaily-dressed merry-makers; gorgeous masked balls are held in all the theatres and large halls; and great battles of flowers and confetti take place in certain of the main streets and promenades. The carnival preceding Lent at Nice, on the south coast of France, lasts for twelve days, and a shorter carnival, the Mi-careme, is held in Mid-Lent. F. carnaval, Ital. carnevale, L.L. carnelev le from L. caro (acc. carn-em) flesh, levare to lift, put away, from levis light in weight, adj. suffixal (L. - lis). Syn.: Festival, fete, gala, pageant, revelry. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Waverley Pictorial Dictionary, Vol. 3: Dry Hark A desert is dry, for there is no moisture there. In a dry, rainless season the crops suffer. A walk along a dusty road will make a traveller feel dry, or thirsty. After a bathe we dry or wipe ourselves on towels, or we may be content to dry ourselves in the sun. We speak of dry land as opposed to sea or water. A dry wine is unsweetened wine, but a dry piece of bread is a stale piece or a slice without butter on it. A dull book may be described as dry, and a person who is cold or harsh in manner has a dry manner. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Waverley Pictorial Dictionary, Vol. 6: Pole Snag The earth is a huge magnet, and it has a magnetic pole at each of two points, which are some distance from the geographical North and South Poles. The latter are situate at the points where the axis of rotation of the earth meet its surface. At the magnetic poles the lines of magnetic force are vertical, and the magnetic needle dips vertically. When the north pole of a magnet is brought near the like pole of a magnetic needle the latter is repelled when the south or opposite pole of the magnet is brought near, the needle is attracted towards it. Like poles are repelled, and unlike poles are attracted. If the earth's axis were lengthened north wards, it would almost pass through the pole-star a bright star, named Polaris, in the Little Bear group of stars. This star is always almost due north of the observer, and so serves as a point by which to steer. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Actually the common snail has been estimated to move at an average rate of a mile in a fortnight.
