The world: historical and actual . been produced hi this country, but Kent andStory are the only really great and immortal namesin Ihe annals of American law literature. Thename of Abbott deserves honorable mention. Therewere two brothers of note, Jacob, the author of the Rollo Books and a long list of works designed toinstruct and entertain the young, and John S. , two years younger,whose histories of Napoleonand other famous characterswere received with favor. In lexicography Americahas two great names, NoahWebster (1758-1843) andJoseph E. Worcester (1784-1865). Either is good au-thority on both spelling andpronunciation, and that notonly in America, but wher-ever the English language isspoken. Webster began as the mere maker of aspelling-book for the school-room. He was a grad-uate of Yale College, and so, too, was were independent workers in the greatfield of lexicography, but not rivals in any in-vidious sense. Websters great work first appear-ed in 1838, Worcesters in 1860. Each has passed. E. WOKCE-TEU
