Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 9. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), Literary notes. (search)
Literary notes. The South Atlantic of Baltimore — an admirable Literary Magazine — and our Papers will club to new subscribers at $5 per annum (instead of $6) for both Monthlies. This arrangement ought to increase the circulation of both. New Biographical Dictionary.--An excellent feature of the new edition of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, just issued, is the new Biographical Dictionary, in which are given the names of nearly ten thousand noted persons of ancient and modern times, with a brief statement of the dates of their birth and death, their nationality, profession, etc. This is designed for purposes of ready reference, to answer the questions which often arise as to when and where certain persons lived, and the character of their achievements.

Besides these, there are hundreds of arbitrary signs, which are found in the most perfect fonts, and used in astronomical, classic, commercial, musical, chemical, botanical, arithmetical, and mathematical dissertations. For these, see an excellent digest on pp. 1692 – 96 of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, edition of 1867. Almost every science has symbols of its own. Algebra has one set, chemistry another. For a dictionary which attempts to represent the minute shades of pronunciation a great number are required. Thus in Webster or Worcester, what with letters with dots above and dots below, lines above, below, and across, there are probably a hundred additional characters. Some foreign languages have a very complicated alphabet. The Greek, with its accents and br
