               SUMMARY OF ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
                          (Continued)

   
          THE TRUST -- The Dean Witter Select Municipal Trust
Long Term Portfolio Series 119 (the "Long Term Uninsured
Trust") is a unit investment trust which was created on May 7,
1992 (the "Date of Deposit"), under the laws of the State of
New York pursuant to an Indenture as defined in Part B.  The
Trust is composed of "investment grade" long-term inter-
est-bearing municipal bonds (the "Securities").  (For a de-
scription of the meaning of "investment grade" securities, see:
"Bond Ratings", in Part B.)  The objectives of the Trust are:
(1) the receipt of income which, under existing law, is exclud-
able from gross income for Federal income tax purposes (except
in certain instances depending on the Unit Holders) and (2) the
conservation of capital.  The payment of interest and the pres-
ervation of principal of the Trust is dependent on the continu-
ing ability of the respective Issuers of the Securities to meet
their obligations to pay principal and interest.  Therefore,
there is no guarantee that the objectives of the Trust will be
achieved.  All of the Securities in the Portfolio are obliga-
tions of states or of the counties, municipalities or public
authorities thereof.  Interest on the Securities, in the opin-
ion of bond counsel or special tax counsel to the Issuers
thereof, under existing law, is excludable from gross income
for Federal income tax purposes (except in certain instances
depending on the Unit Holders).  (For a discussion of certain
tax aspects of the Trust, see:  "Tax Status", in Part B.)

          OFFERS TO SELL OR THE SOLICITATION OF ORDERS TO BUY
MAY ONLY BE MADE IN THOSE JURISDICTIONS IN WHICH THE UNITS OF
THE TRUST HAVE BEEN REGISTERED.  INVESTORS SHOULD CONTACT
ACCOUNT EXECUTIVES OF THE SPONSOR TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE
UNITS OF THIS TRUST HAVE BEEN REGISTERED FOR SALE IN THE STATE
IN WHICH THEY RESIDE.

          MONTHLY DISTRIBUTIONS -- Monthly distributions of
principal, premium, if any, and interest received by the Trust
will be made on or shortly after the fifteenth day of each
month to Unit Holders of record on the ninth day of such month.
Alternatively, Unit Holders may elect to have their monthly
distributions reinvested in either of the Reinvestment Programs
of the Sponsor.  (See:  "Reinvestment Programs", in Part B.)
    
          PUBLIC OFFERING PRICE -- The Public Offering Price
per Unit of each Trust is calculated daily, and is equal to the
aggregate bid side evaluation of the underlying securities, di-
vided by the number of Units outstanding, plus a sales charge
calculated by reference to "Sales Charge/Volume Discount", be-
low, plus the per Unit balance in the Interest and Principal
Accounts.  Units are offered at the Public Offering Price, plus
                              A-4<PAGE>

accrued interest.  (See:  "Public Offering of Units", in Part
B.)

          ESTIMATED CURRENT RETURN -- The Estimated Current Re-
turn shows the return based on the Public Offering Price and is
computed by multiplying the estimated net annual interest rate
per Unit (which shows the return based on a $1,000 face amount)
by $1,000 and dividing the result by the Public Offering Price
(not including accrued interest).  The net annual interest rate
per Unit will vary with changes in the fees and expenses of the
Trustee, the Sponsor and the Evaluator and with the exchange,
redemption, sale or maturity of the underlying Securities.  In
addition, the Public Offering Price will also vary with fluc-
tuations in the bid side evaluation of the underlying Securi-
ties.  Therefore, it can be expected that the Estimated Current
Return will fluctuate in the future.   (See:  "The Units -- Es-
timated Annual Income and Current Return", in Part B.)

          MARKET FOR UNITS -- The Sponsor, though not obligated
to do so, intends to maintain a market for the Units based on
the aggregate bid side evaluation of the underlying Securities,
as more fully described in Part B -- "Public Offering of Units
- -- Secondary Market".  If such market is not maintained, a Unit
Holder will be able to dispose of its Units through redemption
at prices based on the aggregate bid side evaluation of the un-
derlying Securities.  (See:  "Redemption", in Part B.)  Market
conditions may cause such prices to be greater or less than the
amount paid for Units.
   
          SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS -- An investment in Units of
the Trust should be made with an understanding of the risks
which an investment in fixed rate long term debt obligations
may entail, including the risk that the value of the Units will
decline with increases in interest rates.  The Trust is consid-
ered to be concentrated in Health Care and Hospital Securities,
Housing Securities and Prerefunded/Escrowed to Maturity Securi-
ties (31.07%, 29.95% and 38.98%, respectively, of the aggregate
market value of the Long Term Uninsured Trust Portfolio).
(See:  "The Trust -- Special Considerations" and "The Trust --
Summary Description of the Portfolios", in Part B.  See also:
"The Long Term Uninsured Trust", herein, for a discussion of
additional risks relating to Units of the Trust.)

          OTHER INFORMATION -- The Securities in the Portfolio
of the Trust were chosen in part on the basis of their respec-
tive maturity dates.  A long term Trust contains obligations
maturing in 15 years or more from the Date of Deposit.  The ma-
turity date of the Trust is January 1, 2041.  The latest matur-
ity of a Security in the Long Term Uninsured Trust is January
2031; and the average life to maturity (or date of pre-
refunding of a bond) of the Portfolio of Securities therein is
18.734 years.  The actual maturity dates of each of the Securi-
                              A-5<PAGE>

ties contained in the Trust are shown on the respective
"Schedule of Portfolio Securities", herein.

          The Trustee shall receive annually 75 cents per
$1,000 principal amount of Securities in the Trust for its
services as Trustee.  See:  "Expenses and Charges", in Part B,
for a description of other fees and charges which may be in-
curred by a Trust.
    
          SALES CHARGE/VOLUME DISCOUNT -- The Public Offering
Price per Unit will be computed by dividing the aggregate of
the bid prices of the Securities in a Trust by the number of
Units outstanding and then adding the appropriate sales charge
described below.

          The sales charge will reflect different rates depend-
ing upon the maturities of the various underlying Securities.
The sales charge per Unit in the secondary market (the
"Effective Sales Charge") will be computed by multiplying the
Evaluator's determination of the bid side evaluation of each
Security by a sales charge determined in accordance with the
table set forth below based upon the number of years remaining
to the maturity of each such Security, totaling all such cal-
culations, and dividing this total by the number of Units then
outstanding.  In calculating the date of maturity, a Security
will be considered to mature on its stated maturity date un-
less:  (a) the Security has been called for redemption or funds
or securities have been placed in escrow to redeem it on an
earlier call date, in which case the call date will be deemed
the date on which such Security matures; or (b) the Security is
subject to a mandatory tender, in which case the mandatory ten-
der date will be deemed the date on which such Security ma-
tures.

          To qualify for the reduced sales charge and conces-
sion applicable to quantity purchases, the selling dealer must
confirm that the sale is to a single purchaser, as described in
"Volume Discount" in Part B of the Prospectus.

          Units purchased at an Effective Sales Charge (before
volume purchase discount) of less than 3.00% of the Public Of-
fering Price (3.093% of the bid side evaluation of the Securi-
ties) will not be eligible for exchange at a reduced sales
charge described under the Exchange Option.

          Dealers purchasing certain dollar amounts of Units
during the life of the Trusts may be entitled to additional
concessions.  The Sponsor reserves the right, at any time and
from time to time, to change the level of dealer concessions.

count, see:  "Public Offering of Units -- Volume Discount", in

                           THE TRUST

   
          The Portfolio of the Long Term Uninsured Trust con-
sists of fourteen issues of Securities, which were issued by
Issuers located in eleven states.  Fourteen issues of Securi-
ties, while not backed by the taxing power of the Issuer, are
payable from revenues or receipts derived from specific proj-
ects or other available sources.  The Long Term Uninsured Trust
contains the following categories of Securities:

                                    Percentage of Aggregate
                                    Market Value of Trust
                                          Portfolio
Category of Security                 (as of June 6, 1997)  


Health Care and Hospital..........       31.07%
Housing ...........................      29.95%
Prerefunded/Escrowed to
  Maturity ........................      38.98%
Original Issue Discount ...........      68.40%

          See:  "The Trust -- Summary Description of the Port-
folios", in Part B, for a summary of the investment risks asso-
ciated with the type of Securities contained in the Long Term
Uninsured Trust.  See:  "Tax Status", in Part B, for a discus-
sion of certain tax considerations with regard to Original Is-
sue Discount.

          Of the Original Issue Discount bonds in the Long Term
Uninsured Trust, approximately 4.56% of the aggregate principal
amount of the Securities in the Long Term Uninsured Trust (or
1.39% of the market value of all Securities in the Long Term
Uninsured Trust on June 6, 1997) are zero coupon bonds
(including bonds known as multiplier bonds, money multiplier
bonds, capital accumulator bonds, compound interest bonds and
discount maturity payment bonds).

          Securities representing approximately 9.86%  of the
aggregate market value of the Portfolio are subject to redemp-
tion at the option of the Issuer thereof beginning in 2000.
(See:  "Schedule of Portfolio Securities", herein, and "The
Trust -- Summary Description of the Portfolios -- Additional
Securities Considerations -- Redemption of Securities", in Part
B.)

          On June 6, 1997 based on the bid side of the market,
the aggregate market value of Securities in the Long Term Unin-
sured Trust was $3,265,101.15.


                              A-9<PAGE>

          On June 6, 1997 Standard & Poor's Corporation rated
six of the Securities in the Long Term Uninsured Trust as fol-
lows:  5.57%-AAA,   18.94%-AA, 21.27%-A; and Moody's Investors
Service rated seven of the Securities as follows:  33.41%-Aaa,
11.01%-Aa, and 9.80%-A.  (See:  the respective "Schedule of
Portfolio Securities", herein, and "Bond Ratings", in Part B.)
A Security in the Portfolio may subsequently cease to be rated
or the rating assigned may be reduced below the minimum re-
quirements of the Long Term Uninsured Trust for the acquisition
of Securities.  While such events may be considered by the
Sponsor in determining whether to direct the Trustee to dispose
of the Security (see:  "Sponsor -- Responsibility", in Part B),
such events do not automatically require the elimination of
such Security from the Portfolio.

                        INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

THE UNIT HOLDERS, SPONSOR AND TRUSTEE
DEAN WITTER SELECT MUNICIPAL TRUST
LONG TERM PORTFOLIO SERIES 119


We have audited the statement of financial condition and schedule of 
portfolio securities of the Dean Witter Select Municipal Trust Long Term 
Portfolio Series 119 as of April 30, 1997, and the related statements of 
operations and changes in net assets for each of the three years in the 
period then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the 
Trustee (see Footnote (a)(1)).  Our responsibility is to express an opinion 
on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  
Our procedures included confirmation of the securities owned as of April 30, 
1997 as shown in the statement of financial condition and schedule of 
portfolio securities by correspondence with The Chase Manhattan Bank, the 
Trustee.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used 
and the significant estimates made by the Trustee, as well as evaluating the 
overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits 
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, 
in all material respects, the financial position of the Dean Witter Select 
Municipal Trust Long Term Portfolio Series 119 as of April 30, 1997, and the 
results of its operations and the changes in its net assets for each of the 
three years in the period then ended in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles.

(a) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a 
Unit Investment Trust.  The following is a summary of the significant 
accounting policies of the Trust:

(1) Basis of Presentation

    The Trustee has custody of and responsibility for all accounting 
and financial books, records, financial statements and related data 
of the Trust and is responsible for establishing and maintaining a 
system of internal controls directly related to, and designed to 
provide reasonable assurance as to the integrity and reliability 
of, financial reporting of the Trust.  The Trustee is also 
responsible for all estimates and accruals reflected in the Trust's 
financial statements.  The Evaluator determines the price for each 
underlying Security included in the Trust's Portfolio of Securities 
on the basis set forth in Part B of this Prospectus, "Public 
Offering of Units - Public Offering Price".  Under the Securities 
Act of 1933 ("the Act"), as amended, the Sponsor is deemed to be an 
issuer of the Trust Units.  As such, the Sponsor has the 
responsibility of an issuer under the Act with respect to financial 
statements of the Trust included in the Trust's Registration 
Statement under the Act and amendments thereto.

(2) Investments

    Investments are stated at market value as determined by the 
Evaluator based on the bid side evaluations on the last day of 
trading during the period, except that value on the date of deposit 
(May 7, 1992) represents the cost of investments to the Trust based 
on the offering side evaluations as of the date prior to the date 
of deposit.

(3) Income Taxes

    The Trust is not an association taxable as a corporation for  
Federal income tax purposes; accordingly, no provision is required  
for such taxes.

(4) Expenses

    The Trust pays annual Trustee's fees, including estimated expenses 
and Evaluator's fees, and annual Sponsor's portfolio supervision 
fees and may incur additional charges as explained under "Expenses 
and Charges - Fees" and "- Other Charges" in Part B of this 
Prospectus.

(b) DISTRIBUTIONS

    Interest received by the Trust is distributed to the Unit Holders on or 
shortly after the fifteenth day of each month after deducting applicable 
expenses.  Receipts other than interest are distributed as explained in 
"Administration of the Trust - Distribution of Interest and Principal" 
in Part B of this Prospectus.

                               April 30, 1997



(c) ORIGINAL COST TO INVESTORS

    The original cost to investors represents the aggregate initial public 
offering price as of the date of deposit (May 7, 1992) exclusive of 
accrued interest, computed on the basis set forth under "Public Offering 
of Units - Public Offering Price" in Part B of this Prospectus.

    A reconciliation of the original cost of Units to investors to the net 
amount applicable to investors as of April 30, 1997 follows:

       Original cost to investors                                $4,131,688
       Less:  Gross underwriting commissions (sales charge)        (202,435)
       Net cost to investors                                      3,929,253
       Cost of securities sold or redeemed                         (866,868)
       Unrealized market appreciation                               217,503
       Accumulated interest accretion                                10,580
       Net amount applicable to investors                        $3,290,468
