WORCESTER'S

DICTIONARIES.

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, WASHINGTON, Feb. 20, 1874. Gentlemen: The report having been made that Webster's English Dictionary is adopted as the standard by national officers, to the exclusion of Worcester's, I take occasion to say that so far as the Library of Congress is concerned, Webster has never been followed in orthography in printing its catalogues, reports, or any other documents. On the contrary, whenever proofs from the Congres sional Printing Office embody the innovations upon English orthography as established by the usage of all great writers, which Webster introduced, they are invariably returned with corrections restoring the established spelling. Very respectfully, A. R. SPOFFORD, Lib. of Congress.
