Consequently, the selection of a dictionary is of concern not only to such professions as teaching and librarianship but to nearly every adult as well. This writer's interest in English language dictionaries grew out of the study of basic reference sources in Florida State University Library School.

It was immediately apparent that what is used as a dictionary today evolved through various concepts of vocabulary selection and treatment"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "February, 1957." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts." / Advisor: Louis Shores, Professor Directing Paper. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 109-112).
