^#smrgSAHAF Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary -

Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary is an entirely new book -newly edited and typesed and presented in a new format. It will, however, have for many persons the characteristics of an old friend; for it but the latest member of the century-old Merriam Webster family. For many years Merriam Webster dictionaries have formed a series, in which the unabridged dictionary is the parent work and the Collegiate Dictionary the largest abridgment. (Preface)
