PREFACE. 
 
 In this edition, the principal object has been to furnish a work to those 
 numerous classes of the community, who want for consultation, something above 
 an ordinary school dictionary, but who are not disposed to purchase Webster's 
 larger works. 
 
 For this purpose, numerous additions have been made to the vocabulary, and 
 to the definitions, particularly from that portion of the American Dictionary 
 which was added in the edition of 1841, and also from the addenda of 1843 ; so 
 that the number of words in the vocabulary is above ffty thousand. By these 
 improvements, it is made to correspond better with the progress of the language, 
 and with the increasing intelligence of the people of this country. 
 
 By consulting general usage, analogy, and the best authorities, by a system 
 of notation easily understood, and by a collection of rules prefixed, it has been 
 the endeavor to make this a correct and convenient pronouncing Dictionary 
 Walker's vocabularies of Classical and Scripture proper names are annexed, 
 together with variations from Walker, in Perry, and in Fulton and Knight. 
 
 To furnish help to those who are studying the structure and grammatical 
 relations of the English language, the parts of speech are carefully discrimina- 
 ted, the irregular plurals of nouns are given, and also the preterits and the per- 
 fect participles of irregular verbs, with many of the present and the perfect 
 participles of other verbs. 
 
 It has also been an object to add to the interest and value of this work, by 
 transferring to it from the American Dictionary the etymology of a considerable 
 number of words, which may serve to create, while it will to some extent grat- 
 ify, a taste for the affinities of language, which are so successfully developed 
 by Dr. Webster in his great work. 
 
 It is believed that among the millions who have used Webster's books, there 
 are many who would like to know more of the Author. Accordingly, a short 
 notice of his life is prefixed. 
 
 This Dictionary, designed for general and popular use, is now presented to 
 the public, in the hope that it will meet the wants of multitudes of the coun- 
 trymen of Dr. Webster, not only among the teachers and higher classes in 
 Public Schools and Academies, but- also in the Counting House, the Manufac- 
 tory, and the Family. 
 
 Amherst, October, 1845.

 Since the first publication of this edition, in 1845, the American Dictionary 
 has been carefully revised, under the general superintendence of that accom- 
 plished scholar, Professor Goodrich, of Yale College, and numerous and impor- 
 tant changes have been made in the vocabulary of that work. This has made 
 it necessary to revise all the abridgments of Dr. Webster's original work, so aa 
 to bring the entire series into uniformity in Orthography and Pronunciation. 
 The whole of it has been examined in special reference to the peculiarities 
 which had been objected to ; all of which, it is believed, are now removed, 
 and the work better fitted to hold the place it was designed to occupy in public 
 estimation.

MEMOIR 
 
 Noah Webster was born in West Hartford, in the state of Con 
 necticut, on the 16th of October, 1758. His father was a respectable 
 farmer and justice of the peace, and was a descendant of John Webster, 
 from Warwickshire, England, one of the original settlers in Hartford, and 
 for a period governor of the state of Connecticut. His mother, a supe- 
 rior and excellent woman, was a descendant of William Bradford, the 
 second governor r „ Plymouth colony. 
 
 He passed his boyhood like the sons of other farmers, in agricultural 
 occupations during most of the year ; attending a district school in the 
 winter, and spending the long evenings of that season at the family fire- 
 side, in the study of those rudiments of an English education, which were 
 then taught in common schools. 
 
 When fourteen years of age, from that love of knowledge which was* 
 the ruling passion t.i his life, he commenced the study of the classics, 
 under the instruction of the clergyman of the place, the Rev. Nathan 
 Perkins, D. D. ; and in 1774 was admitted a member of the Freshman 
 class in Yale College. 
 
 While a student, he showed the same traits of character which were 
 afterward fully developed ; the same spirit of investigation, the same indus- 
 trious habits, the same love of order and of propriety in things and in per- 
 sons around him, t 1 e fame adherence to truth and honor in his own conduct. 
 
 In his junior year, New England was thrown into consternation by the 
 famous expedition of Gen. Burgoyne. It was universally feared that what 
 that commander had vauntingly said in the British parliamem, that with 
 a few thousand men he could march over the country, might prove to be 
 no idle boast. He at once volunteered his services under the command 
 of his father, who was cp^tain in the alarm list. In that campaign, all the 
 males in the family, for/ in number, were in the army at the same time, 
 and continued in it till the sur^ende of Burgoyne. There was kindled 
 in his breast the fire of patriotism, wnich was extinguished only with his 
 life. Notwithstanding the interruption of his studies by causes connected 
 with the war, Mr. Webster graduated with reputation in 1778. 
 
 He was now thrown upon his own efforts for subsistence. On his 
 return from the Commencement, when he graduated, his father gave him 
 an eight-dollar bill of the continental currency, worth about a dollar in 
 silver, and told him he must henceforth rely upon himself for support. 
 In order to defray his current expenses, he engaged in teaching school at 
 Hartford, residing during the summer of 1779 in the family of Mr., after- 
 ward Chief Justice Ellsworth. 
 
 In 1781 he was admitted to the practice of the law, a profession which 
 he had studied in the intervals of his regular employment. While engaged 
 m his studies, he noted down every word whose meaning he did not dis- 
 
MEMOIR. 
 
 tinctly understand, for the purpose of further examination. The numbei 
 of words thus noted, of which he could find no definitions at all, or only 
 very imperfect ones, deeply impressed upon his mind the deficiencies of 
 the best dictionaries then in use. 
 
 But, as the embarrassments of the country forbade him to hope for imme- 
 diate practice in his profession, in 1782, while the American army was 
 ying on the bank of the Hudson, he established a classical school in 
 Goshen, Orange county, New York. The country was impoverished ; 
 ntercourse with Great Britain was interrupted ; and there was no certain 
 prospect of peace ; school books were scarce, and hardly obtainable, and 
 some of them full of errors. In these circumstances, he compiled two 
 small elementary works for teaching the English language. In the 
 autumn of that year, he rode to Philadelphia for the purpose of showing 
 his manuscripts to gentlemen of influence, and obtaining a law for securing 
 to authors the copy-right of their publications. Having exhibited his 
 manuscripts to several members of the Continental Congress then in ses- 
 sion, among whom was Mr. Madison, and to the Rev. Stanhope Smith, 
 then professor of theology at Nassau Hall, Princeton, and afterward presi- 
 dent of that institution, he was by them encouraged to prosecute his design. 
 
 Accordingly, having at Goshen devoted the winter to the revision of his 
 manuscripts, and the introduction of some improvements suggested by 
 gentlemen in Princeton and Philadelphia, he returned in 1783 to Hartford, 
 where he published the "First Part of a Grammatical Institute of the English 
 Language" a title adopted at the suggestion of President Stiles, but after- 
 ward changed for another. The second and third parts were published in 
 the years immediately following. These books, comprising a spelling 
 book, an English grammar, and a compilation for reading, were the first 
 books of the kind published in the United States. They were gradually 
 introduced into most of the schools in the country. 
 
 The improvements upon Dilworth, and similar British works, introduced 
 into his spelling book, were: 1. A division of syllables according to the 
 pronunciation. Thus, ha-bit, ta-lent, the English mode, was rejected, and 
 hab-it, tal-ent, substituted. 2. The reduction of the terminating letters 
 Hon, sion, into one syllable. Thus, the English mo-ti-on, de-lu-si-on, were 
 reduced to mo-tion, de-lu-sion. 3. A Key to the pronunciation of the 
 vowels, and such an arrangement of words, that a single figure indicated 
 the proper sound of the vowels of the accented syllables in whole col- 
 umns. 4. A new classification of words, bringing into the same tables 
 words of a like formation. 
 
 At first, when he came to Hartford to publish this book, he could find 
 no man who encouraged him to expect to succeed, except Judge Trumbull 
 and Joel Barlow. Indeed, upon its first publication, it met with much 
 opposition. A pamphlet, entitled " DilwortlCs Ghost" was extensively 
 circulated, for the purpose of deterring the public from using it. But the 
 people, not frightened at that ghost, used the book. About twenty 
 millions have been published, and the demand is increasing. More 
 persons have learned to read from it than there are inhabitants in the 
 United States. u To its influence, more than to any other cause, is this 
 country indebted for that remarkable uniformity of pronunciation which is 
 often spoken of with surprise by English travelers " 
 
MEMOIR. YU 
 
 Soon after the close of the war, there grew up in the country, especially 
 in the northern parts of it, a violent and organized opposition to the half 
 pay and commutation acts, passed by Congress, for the relief of the army 
 of the revolution. Indeed, so extensive and deep-seated were the popular 
 discontents, expressed both against Congress and the disbanded army, as 
 to threaten the most dangerous civil dissensions. In this emergency, Mr. 
 Webster, from a regard to justice, as well to those who fought as to those 
 who legislated for the welfare of their country, employed his pen so 
 successfully in defense of Congress, and in allaying discontent in Con 
 necticut, that he received the thanks of Governor Trumbull in person, and 
 was publicly declared by a member of the council, li to have done more to 
 support the authority of Congress, at this crisis, than any other man." 
 
 Like many other intelligent men, Mr. Webster early perceived the 
 insufficiency of the old confederation for the purposes of government. 
 The war, by forcing the states to act in concert, gave it whatever of 
 strength it had. Peace, by removing the common danger, proved its 
 weakness. In the winter of 1784-5, he published his " Sketches of Amer- 
 ican Policy" in which he urged the establishment of a new form of govern- 
 ment, which should " act, not on the states, as did the old confederation, 
 but directly on individuals also, like the present system." This pamphlet, 
 in the spring of 1785, was by him presented to General Washington, at 
 Mount Vernon, who referred the arguments to a member of the legislature 
 of Virginia. It contained, it is believed, the first distinct proposal made 
 through the medium of the press, for a new constitution of the United States 
 
 One object of Mr. Webber's journey south, at this as at other times 
 was to obtain laws from the state legislatures, securing to authors tL 
 exclusive right to the publication of their productions. He was, tosom 
 -extent, successful. Some of the states passed such laws. "Public 
 attention was thus called to provision for the support of American litera- 
 ture, which was rendered more effectual by a copy-right law enacted by 
 Congress in 1790." In 1826, he resumed his efforts on the subject, in 
 order to procure such an alteration of the law as should, by giving exten- 
 sion to the rights of authors, secure to them a more ample reward. To 
 accomplish this, he spent a winter in Washington, in the years 1830-31 
 An act was passed by Congress at the session of that season, more 
 liberal in its provisions than the former law. In his journeys to effect this 
 object, and in his long attendance afterward at Washington, he expended 
 nearly a year of time. 
 
 On his return from the south, in 1785, he prepared, in Baltimore, a 
 course of lectures upon the English language, which, in the next year, 
 were delivered in the principal Atlantic cities, and which were published 
 in 1789, under the title of "Dissertations on the English Language." 
 
 In the year 1787, during which he superintended a school in Philadel- 
 phia, the convention which formed the present Constitution, were in session 
 in that city. When they had finished their work, Mr. Webster was 
 solicited by Mr. Fitzsimmons, one of the members, to give the aid of his 
 pen in recommending the new system of government to the people. 
 Accordingly, for this purpose, he wrote a pamphlet, entitled " An Exam- 
 ination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution" 
 
 In 1789, Mr. Webster married a daughter of William Greer.leaf, Esq.

 of Boston, and established himself at Hartford, in the practice ol the 
 law. In 1793, he was solicited by some eminent statesmen to establish 
 a paper in the city of New York, in defense of Washington's administra 
 tion, then violently assailed by the partisans of France. Accordingly, 
 from his strong attachment to the principles of the Father of his Country, 
 he removed to New York, and there established a daily paper, called the 
 Minerva, with which he connected a semi-weekly paper, called the Herald, 
 names which were afterward changed to those of the Commercial Adver- 
 tiser, and the New York Spectator. This was the first example of a paper 
 for the country, made up from the columns of a daily paper without re- 
 composition, a practice which is now common. *• 
 
 In 1795, he published, in vindication of Mr. Jay's treaty with Great 
 Britain, to which there was violent opposition, a series of papers, under 
 the signature of Curtius, which were extensively re-printed throughout 
 the country, and which, in the opinion of Mr. Rums King, expressed to 
 Mr. Jay, did more than any other papers of the same kind to allay the 
 opposition to the treaty. In 1799, as the result of laborious investigation, 
 he published in two volumes, octavo, his "History of Pestilential Diseases" 
 which was re-published the same year in England. In 1802, he pub- 
 lished his celebrated Treatise on the "Rights of Neutrals ;" and the same 
 year, Historical Notices of "Banking Institutions and Insurance Offices." 
 Mr. Webster, in the spring of 1798, removed to New Haven. 
 
 In the preface to his "Compendious Dictionary" published in January, 
 1 806, he announced to the public that he had entered on the great work 
 of his life, to which his studies had been immediately directed for some 
 years, that of compiling a new and complete dictionary of the English 
 language. Some of the reasons for doing this, are set forth in his pub- 
 lished "Letter to Dr David Ramsay" Charleston, South Carolina. During 
 the many years in which his attention had been turned to the subject, he 
 had become deeply convinced of the need of a dictionary which, in the 
 extent of its vocabulary, and the fullness of its definitions, would be com- 
 mensurate with the progress of the language, as written and spoken. ' The 
 English and the American nations had been rapidly advancing in the 
 discoveries of science, in the inventions of art, in new modes of thought. 
 The language had kept pace with these improvements and changes, by the 
 introduction of new terms, or by the extended use of old ones. But lex- 
 icography had stood still fifty years, from 1755, when Johnson's Dictionary 
 was published. Mr. Webster, while he duly appreciated the difficulty of 
 the task, undertook it upon high public grounds. In the letter mentioned 
 above, he remarks: " The undertaking is Herculean ; but it is of far less 
 consequence to me than to my country." 
 
 It is no easy task to collect the " winged words " we speak, and giv» 
 them stability and form, and " local habitation." He who would do it, 
 must be not only conversant with the usages of the best speakers and besi 
 writers, but also with the laws which govern the structure of language in 
 general, and of his own in particular. He must be acquainted, in some 
 degree, with all the arts and sciences, in order to explain their terms. And 
 since, in the wide field of knowledge, " some words are budding, and some 
 are falling away," he must explore that field, in order to gather the living 
 and permanent, and to know when to reject the dead or the transient 
 
MEMOIR. IX 
 
 In short, as om«* has strikingly said, " a dictionary extracts ana condenses 
 the essence of all other books ; it holds, as in embryo, the elements of all 
 things known." And then, too, in the pronunciation and orthography, there 
 are many perplexing difficulties connected with divided usage, conflicting 
 analogies, authorities at variance with each other, and unsettled derivations. 
 Moreover, a correct classification of the parts of speech involves the appli- 
 cation of a refined logic. Besides these, Dr. Webster met with unexpected 
 embarrassment in the departments of etymology. After writing through two 
 letters of the alphabet, he laid aside his m*anuscripts, and endeavored, by a 
 comparison of words having the same or cognate radical letters, in twenty 
 different languages^ to discover the real or probable affinities between the 
 English and other languages, and thus to obtain a more correct knowledge 
 of the origin and primary sense of words. In this department of lexicogra- 
 phy, he labored ten years, in the careful comparison of radical words, and 
 in forming a "Synopsis of the principal words in twenty languages, arranged 
 in classes under their primary elements or letters." After completing this 
 synopsis, he proceeded to finish the work. 
 
 During the progress of these labors, Mr. Webster, finding his resources 
 inadequate to the support of his family at New Haven, removed, in 1812, 
 to Amherst, a pleasant country town in Massachusetts. Here, notwith- 
 standing his devotedness to his studies, he entered with his characteristic 
 ardor into the literary and social interests of the place : promoted agricul- 
 tural improvements, himself cultivating a few acres; represented the 
 town at different times in the General Court of Massachusetts, as he had 
 done New Haven in the General Assembly of Connecticut ; employed 
 his influence in the establishment, first of the academy, and then of the 
 college, of whose Board of Trustees he was president ; delivered the 
 address at laying the corner-stone of the first college edifice, and inducted 
 the first president into office. 
 
 In 1822, Mr. Webster returned to New Haven. In 1823, he received 
 the degree of LL. D. from Yale College.. In June, 1824, he sailed for 
 Europe, with a view to perfect his work, by consulting literary men 
 abroad, and by examining standard authors, to which he could not have 
 access in this country. He spent two months at Paris, in consulting rare 
 works in the Bibliotheque du Roi, and then went to England, where he 
 remained till May, 1825. He spent several months at the University of 
 Cambridge, where he had free access to the public libraries, and there he 
 finished the "American Dictionary" 
 
 An edition was published, in 1828. This contained twelve thousand 
 words, and between thirty and forty thousand definitions, not found in any 
 preceding dictionary. An edition was soon after published In England. 
 In 1841, another edition was published in this country, containing, with 
 those in the addenda, about eighteen thousand additional words. 
 
 Of the "merits of that dictionary, it does not fall within the limits of this 
 notice to speak. It is sufficient to say, that in the estimation of those 
 best qualified, both in this country and in Europe, to form a correct judg- 
 ment, it has taken the same place at the head of English lexicography 
 which Johnson's great work took ninety years ago. With the excellencies 
 of that work, it unites other excellencies, corresponding with the advanced 
 state of philology, and the progress of the Anglo-Saxon race 
 
MEMOIR. 
 
 Besides his principal productions, above mentioned, there are numerous 
 others to be included in a complete list of his writings. 
 
 Dr. Webster loved truth in all its manifestations, whether in science 01 
 art, whether in politics and history, or in morals and religion. Though 
 absorbed for years in the study of language, he lost none of his interest in 
 the objects to which it is applied; for he still remembered that "things 
 are the sons of God, and that words are the daughters of men." He had 
 hat ardent thirst for knowledge which is the true scholar's moving power ; 
 his prompted him to his investigations, and sustained him in their progress. 
 When an opinion was proposed, he never so much as asked whether ii 
 was new, or whether it was old ; but his constant and only inquiry was, is 
 it true ? And how great w r as his gratification, when successful in his 
 search after truth, we may learn from his own statement : " While engaged 
 in composing my dictionary, I was often so much excited by the discov- 
 eries I had made, that my pulse, whose ordinary action is scarcely sixty 
 beats to the minute, was accelerated to eighty or eighty-five." As he 
 welcomed truth in all forms, so he dared to introduce it to the world, trust- 
 ing that it would win its way to the confidence of others. And if, delving 
 in the mine of original investigation, he sometimes threw up to the light 
 masses of truth too large to enter immediately into general circulation, he 
 had the satisfaction of knowing that there were those who understood its 
 value. Indeed, he often had the gratification to see many truths become 
 current, which, at their first presentation, were rejected. And if, in the 
 progress of his investigations, continued for so many years, he found 
 reason to change an opinion, he had the magnanimity to make the recanta- 
 tion as public as the avowal. 
 
 Equally remarkable was his love of virtue. His sensibility was easily 
 moved, either by what is right in conduct, on the one hand, or by what is 
 wrong, on the other. He could not speak of moral distinctions with 
 indifference. His heart, his voice, his pen, and his conduct were always 
 on the side of virtue, and order, and religion. As a lover of the human 
 race, of his country, of his friends, of his God, no man could better dis- 
 charge die various duties of his station, or dispense, with a more winning 
 grace, all the sweet charities of life. In his last years, he had good 
 health, an unimpaired mind, and " that which should accompany old age, as 
 honor, love, troops of friends." In his last days, he enjoyed the hopes of 
 the gospel. Death took him not by surprise. When, after a short illness, 
 the announcement of his approaching dissolution was made to him, "I am 
 ready," was his simple and sublime reply. He met the King of Terrors, 
 saying, " I know in whom I have believed ; I have no doubts, no fears " 
 He died on the 28th of May, 1843, in the eighty-fifth year of his age 
 
 But he will long be remembered by many, as the youthful soldier, who 
 was ready, if need be, to pour out his blood and his life together for the 
 land of his birth ; as the thoughtful politician, who early devised a scheme 
 for uniting the states under a Constitution, such as the country now enjoys; 
 as the grateful citizen, who gallantly sprang to the defense of Washington, 
 when factious men rose up against him ; as the laborious lexicographer, 
 who throws a strong and steady light upon the English language ; as the 
 Christian moralist, " who taught millions to read, but not one to sin." 
 
REMARKS 
 
 UPON THE ORTHOGRAPHY OF DR. WEBSTER, AS EXHIBITED IN HIS 
 SERIES OF DICTIONARIES. 
 
 1. Terminations in our changed into or. — Such words as favor, labor, &c, formerly 
 ending in our, drop the u. One word, however, is here given in both ways, viz., Sav- 
 ior, Saviour. 
 
 2. Terminations in ck, changed into c. — Words of more than one syllable, ending 
 in ic or iac, which formerly ended in k, have dropped the k, as in music, maniac, &c. 
 Add to these almanac, sandarac, limbec, (from alembic;) also havoc. The k is retained 
 (l)in a few derivatives, as colicky, trafficker, mimicking, &c, to prevent an erroneous 
 pronunciation; (2) in all monosyllables, as sick, stick, &c, and hence in their com- 
 pounds, as candlestick, &c. ; (3) in all other terminations except ic and iac, as in 
 arrack, &e. 
 
 3. Terminations in re changed into er. — Such words as centre, metre, &c, with theii 
 compounds, have the re changed into er, as center, meter, &c. Some hundreds of words 
 like chamber, cider, diameter, &c, have already undergone this change, which is here 
 extended to about twenty more, to complete the analogy. Acre, massacre, and chan- 
 cre are necessarily excepted, because the change would lead to an erroneous pronun- 
 ciation. The above words, however, are here given in both modes of spelling. 
 
 4. Words in which the Final Consonant is not doubled in adding such Formatives as 
 ing, ed, er, &c. It is a rule extending to many hundreds of cases, that, in adding to 
 a word such formatives as ing, ed, er, &c, a single consonant at the end of a word is 
 doubled when the accent falls on the last syllable, as in forgetting, beginning; but is 
 not doubled ivhen the accent falls on any preceding syllable, as 'in benefiting, gardener, &c. 
 This rule has been violated in the case of about fifty words ending in I, whose deriv- 
 atives have had the I doubled, as traveller, &c. These words are here restored to their 
 true analogous spelling, as recommended by Walker, Lowth, Perry, and others, as in 
 traveling, canceled, leveler, counselor, duelist, marvelmis, &c. On the same principle, 
 woolen is spelled with a single I. It does not interfere with this rule that chancellor, 
 and the derivatives of metal and crystal, as metalline, metallurgy, crystalline, crystallize, 
 &cc, have the I doubled, since they come directly from the Latin cancellarius and me- 
 tallum, and the Greek KpvaraWos. The above rule is also applied to the derivatives of 
 worship and bias, making them worshiping, worshiped, worshiper, biasing, biased. Bigoted 
 has already taken its true spelling with but one t, and such should be the spelling 
 of carbureted, sulphureted, &c. 
 
 5. Distinction between Verbs in ize and ise. — Verbs from the Greek i£w, and others 
 formed in analogy with them, have the termination ize, as baptize, legalize, &c. Cat- 
 echise and exorcise are exceptions. Verbs, and also some nouns, derived directly from 
 the French, with a few from other sources, end in ise, as advertise, advise, affranchise, 
 amortise, chastise, circumcise, comprise, compromise, criticise, demise, despise, devise, dis- 
 franchise, disguise, divertise, emprise, enfranchise, enterprise, exercise, manumise, merchan- 
 dise, misprise, (to mistake,) premise, reprise, (to take again,) revise, supervise, surmise 
 surprise. 
 
 6. Terminations in able. — Able, when incorporated into words ending with silent e, 
 cuts it off, as in blamable, except after c or g, as in noticeable, changeable. 
 
 7. Compounds of words ending in 11. — Such compounds as befall, miscall, install, fore- 
 stall, inthrall, enroll, retain the double I, to prevent a false pronunciation, befal, enrol, 
 &c. For the same reason, double I should be retained in the nouns installment, in- 
 thr aliment, thralldom, and enrollment. 
 
 8. Defense, offense,^ and pretensi. — In these words, s is substituted for c, because s is 
 used in the derivatives, as defensive, offensive, pretension. The words expert *>, recom.- 
 pense, and license have, on this ground, undergone the same alteration within '•ompar- 
 
ni 
 
 REMARKS. 
 
 atively a short period, and a change in the three mentioned above, would compiet* 
 the analogy. 
 
 9. ForeieU, distill, instill, fulfill. — These words retain the U of their primitives, for it 
 must be retained in the participles and other derivatives, as foretelling, distiller, ice. 
 In this case it is only necessary to remember the rule, that the spelling of, the origi- 
 nal words, tell, still, fill, is retained in all the derivatives. 
 
 10. Connection, deflection, inflection, reflection. — These follow the spelling of their 
 verbs, connect, ice. 
 
 11. Derivatives of dull, skill, will, and full. — These retain the U, as dullness, fullness, 
 skillful, willful, lo prevent the inconvenience of exceptions to a general rule, walker 
 says, there is no reason why we should not write dullness, fullness, skillful and willful, 
 as well as stiffness, gruffiiess, and crossness. 
 
 12. Derivatives of villain. — The derivatives of villain ought to retain the i. as in 
 villainous, villainy, &c. This is the case in all similar words when the am is not un- 
 der the accent, as mountainous from mountain, captaincy from captain, ice. 
 
 13. Mould and moult. — These words should be written mold and molt, like gold, bold, 
 fold, colt, ice., in which the u has been dropped or was never introduced. 
 
 14. Woe. — This word takes the final e, like doe, foe, hoe, sloe, toe, and all similar 
 nouns of one syllable. The termination in o belongs among monosyllables to the 
 other parts of speech, as go, so, and to nouns of more than one syllable, as motto, potato, 
 tomato, ice. 
 
 15. Practice, as a Verb. — This verb should be spelled like the noun, with a c, as 
 in notice, apprentice, and all similar words in which the accent precedes the last sylla- 
 ble. The distinction of spelling between the noun and verb belongs properly to words 
 accented on the last syllable, as device, n., devise (pronounced de-vlze',) v. To apply 
 the distinction here, and spell the verb practise, tends to give it the same pronuncia- 
 tion {practize,) as we often find in uneducated persons. 
 
 16. Drouth is given as spelled by Spenser, Bacon, &c, and as still extensively 
 pronounced; and hight as spelled by Milton, and derived from high. They are ; how- 
 ever, placed under drought and height, the more ordinary spelling, though, on some 
 accounts, the old spelling is to be preferred. 
 
 REMARKS UPON ACCENT AND PRONUNCIATION. 
 
 1. Improper Diphthongs. — In these, the vowel which is sounded is alone marked, as 
 In ai, ea or ea, ou, &c. 
 
 2. Double Accent ("). — This is used in two cases: (1) When in such words as an'' 
 ger (pronounced ang'ger), the g is, as it were, drawn back to the preceding syllable, 
 forming with n the sound oing, while it is also retained with its proper hard sound in 
 its own syllable. Thus the distinction is marked between such words as Ion" ger, of 
 greater length, and lons'er, one who longs. (2) When, in the case of e or i followed 
 by ci or ti, the sound of sh is drawn back to the preceding syllable, as in spe"cial, dis- 
 cre"tion, addiction, vi"cious, (pronounced spesh'al, diskresVun, addish'un, vish'us.) 
 The double accent is also used when the sound of zh is drawn back, as in transit- 
 lion, vi"sion, (pronounced transizh'un, vizh'un) ; but this peculiarity is also indicated 
 either by respelling or by the marked s. When the single accent (') and double ac- 
 cent (") both occur on the same word, the former is to be considered the primary and 
 the latter the secondary accent, as in cheese'mon"ger. 
 
 3. Vowels in Italics.— -Vowels which are italicized are not sounded, as the a in met- 
 al, the e in used, hazel, burden, the i in evil, cousm, the o in beckon, ice. 
 
 4. Accented Syllables. — When an accented syllable ends in a consonant, the vowe' 
 which it contains has its regular short or shut sound, unless otherwise denoted ac- 
 cording to the key. 
 
 5. Unaccented Syllables. — When an unaccented syllable ends in a vowel other than 
 e mute, this vowel has an obscure or faint sound, unless otherwise marked. The ob- 
 scure a is usually the short Italian a, as in .America. The obscure e, i, and y, have 
 the open sound of e shortened, as in event, labzal, duty; and hence, in respelling for 
 pronunciation, the e is used .o denote these sounds. The obscure o and u have theii 
 
REMARKS. Xlll 
 
 regular open sounds, but somewhat shortened, as in monopoly, educate. When the 
 unaccented syllable ends in a consonant, the vowel which it contains, if single, has 
 its regular short or shut sound, as in assign, explain, furnish, connective, calwmny. 
 But a in monarchy and such words, is the faint d. In neither of these cases should 
 the sound of the other vowels (a, e, i, o, y) run into that of u in tub.- 
 
 6. Long a before r. — The long sound of a before r in the same syllable, as heard in 
 fore, pair, parent, bear, &c, is nearly the same as in fate ; or, more exactly, it begins 
 with the latter sound, and ends with the faint sound of e or a. In this case, however, 
 the a should never be made a distinct syllable, fa'er, payment, but fare, &c. So 
 prayer, though spelled in two syllables, should be pronounced in one, as prare. By 
 many, however, the first part of this compound sound is entirely omitted, and the a 
 in fare, &c, is pronounced like the a in fat, but much lengthened in quantity. This, 
 according to Smart and all the later orthoepists, as well as Walker, is a departure 
 fiom true English usage. 
 
 7. Italian a. — The sound of a in far, daunt, &c, and its sound in fast, pant, &c, 
 being radically the same, is represented by the same character, a. Yet in words like 
 fast, clasp, ask, pass, waft, path, pant, &c, the sound is not so much prolonged as in 
 far; and in such words as dance, advantage, it is shortened still more, and by some 
 is changed into the sound of a in fat. 
 
 8. Broad a. — The distinction between the broad a (a) or aw, and the same sound 
 shortened (a,) as in what, is readily perceived. In some words, however, as salt, co- 
 balt, &c, the a is not so broad as in all, nor so short as in what ; but in respect to this 
 nicer distinction the ear must decide. 
 
 9. Short e before r. — The sound of short e before r at the end of a word, or followed 
 by another consonant than r, as in confer, perform, herd, earth, &c, is nearly the same 
 as that of short u before r; but some, particularly in England, attempt in this case to 
 give the e its regular short sound, as heard in herald, herring. The same remarks 
 may be made respecting ir, to which some attempt, in such words as virgin, mirth, 
 &c, to give the regular sound of short e and r. 
 
 10. Short o. — The shut sound of o before r in the same syllable, as in nor, being un- 
 avoidably the same as that of a, is not marked with any distinctive character. A 
 sound intermediate in length between that of a in all and of o in not is heard in such 
 words as off, soft, song, cloth, loss, frost, &c. Here, however, a drawl is carefully to 
 be avoided. 
 
 11. Long u. — The long or open sound of u has been considered by many as a diph- 
 thong composed of e or y and oo. Dr. Webster regarded it, in most cases, as a pecul- 
 iar vowel sound nearly resembling e and oo, but so much closer as to be hardly a diph- 
 thong; and considered it as sounded yoo only when it begins a syllable, or when it is 
 heard in certain terminations, as in ure, &c. There is a strong tendency, which ought 
 to be carefully avoided, to change this sound into oo after d, t, I, n, and s, as doo / ty for 
 du'ty, &c. ; but in avoiding this, as Smart remarks, the u must be kept very close, 
 and not run into dyuty or de-uty. Walker sounds u like oo after r; but even here, the 
 best speakers, in Dr. "Webster's view, give a slight softening between the vowel and 
 the consonant, pronouncing rude in a less broad and open manner than rood, i. e., giv- 
 ing the u its distinctive sound. 
 
 12. Respelling for Pronunciation. — (1) In respelling the French en, on, &c, the let- 
 ters ng are designed simply to mark the vowel as nasal, and are not to be pronounced 
 themselves. (2) The respelling of a word, when a number of related words follow, 
 applies to all of them down to some other word which is respelled. (3) Compound 
 words, which are not respelled or otherwise marked, are to be pronounced like the 
 simple words of which they are composed; but of and with at the end of compounds 
 as hereof ^ herewith, have their final consonants sounded as in doff, smMA.

 ABA 
 
 ABE 
 
 A, is the first letter of the alphabet in most of the 
 known languages of the earth. It is naturally the 
 first letter, because it represents the first sound 
 naturally made by the human organs. 
 
 A, called the indefinite artiele, is a contraction of 
 the Anglo-Saxon an, one, and is used before 
 words beginning with a consonant; like one, it 
 has been called an adjective. 
 
 A, as a prefix to many English words, is equivalent 
 to the prepositions in, or on, as asleep, afoot ; and 
 also when used before participles, as, a-hunting, 
 a-begging.

 GREEK AND LATIN PROPER NAMES. 
 
 Wiien a word is succeeded by a word printed in Italics, the latter word is merely to spell the formei at 
 
 it ought to be pronounced. Thus, Abansheas is the true pronunciation of the 
 
 preceding word Abantias , 
 
 und so of the rest. 
 
 
 When the letters Eng. are put after a word, it is to show that this word is 
 tised. Thus, Lu -can, Eng., is the Latin word Lucanus, changed into the Engh 
 
 the preceding word A ngl : - 
 
 sh Lucan. 
 
 Every a ending a syllable, with the accent upon it, is pronounced like the a in the English words fa-tor 
 
 ta-per, &c. 
 
 
 Every unaccented a, whether initial medial, or final, ending a syllable, nas an obscure sound, bordering 
 
 on the a in father.

 A variety of weights and measures having been used in the different provinces of 1 
 
 'ranee 
 
 under the ancient form of government, the new government has ordainer 
 
 new 
 
 standards of 
 
 weights and measures, founded on nature, and therefore permanent. The standard of measure 
 
 is a meridional circle 
 
 of the earth, which has been, for this purpose, accura 
 
 tely ascertained '»v 
 
 men of science, and 
 
 particularly in 1797, by the mensuration of degrees of latitude between 
 
 Dunkirk and Barcelonia. The whole circle, divided into 40 million parts,

 MEASURES OF CAPACITY. 
 
 A cube whose side is one-tenth of a meter — that is, a cubic decimeter — constitutes the unitrv 
 of measures of capacity. It is called a liter, and contains 61 cubic inches and 028 decimals, s

 DICTIONARY OF ENGLISH AND FRENCH IDIOMS. 
 
 ILLUSTRATING, BY PHRASES AND EXAMPLES, THE PECULIARITIES OP BOTH LANGUAGES, 
 AND DESIGNED AS A SUPPLEMENT TO THE ORDINARY DICTIONARIES NOW LN USE 
 
 BY J. ROEMER, 
 
 FROFESSOR OF THE FRENCH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE IN THE NEW YORK FREE ACADEMY. 
 
 Price SI 25. 
 
 This volume is prepared specially to enable the American to translate his own lan- 
 guage into grammatical, idiomatical written and colloquial French ; and, to render it 
 equally useful for the library, the parlor, and the counting-house, as well as the school- 
 room, such phrases have been selected as relate to literature, the fine arts, and to com- 
 merce ; besides conversational expressions and terms of etiquette in established use. 
 
 From Putnam's Magazine. — It supplies 
 the want which every one interested in 
 acquiring the French language has expe- 
 rienced, of some manual to show the rela- 
 tive force of idioms, an absolute necessity 
 to every one who would speak that most 
 universal tongue with elegance and ease. 
 The accomplished scholarship of Professor 
 Roemer certifies the great skill with which 
 he has done the work. 
 
 From the New York Tribune. — As a sup- 
 plement to the usual methods of learning 
 to speak and write the French language, 
 this volume fills a place which has not 
 been adequately supplied by any manual 
 in common use. It consists of a large col- 
 lection of phrases, which are not suscepti- 
 ble of a literal translation, and to the ex- 
 act meaning of which the dictionaries fail 
 to furnish a clew. The editor has carried 
 out his plan with complete success. Every 
 page of the work bears marks of his dili- 
 gence, accuracy, and sound judgment. 
 
 From the New York Courier and En- 
 quirer. — As a supplement to the ordinary 
 dictionaries, its value can scarcely be over- 
 rated, for every word calculated to perplex 
 the student by its different acceptations, 
 
 is here so amply illustrated, that, by fol- 
 lowing the model, a bad translation seems 
 to be almost impossible. 
 
 From the New York Evening Post. — Its 
 design is to give the student of French 
 the means of rendering into that language 
 all those peculiar combinations of words 
 called idioms, compendiously expressing 
 shades of meaning which would otherwise 
 require circumlocution. Although con- 
 densed, it seems to us more copious and 
 exact, in these respects, than any diction- 
 ary which we have seen, and is a book of 
 surpassing excellence. 
 
 From the Literary World. — This volume 
 is designed to furnish a ready means of ex- 
 planation of the idiomatic phrases which 
 are of such frequent occurrence in the col 
 loquial use of the French, and are not 
 to be found at all in the common school 
 dictionaries. Professor Roemer's expe- 
 rience as Professor of French in the Free 
 Academy, has given him practical knowl- 
 edge of the wants of the student ; and, in 
 connection with his thorough knowledge 
 of both languages, fitted him to execute a 
 task like the present in a satisfacto^v

 The Pronouncing School Dictionary 
 of the French and English Languages, 
 is an abridgment by Professor Spiers of 
 his General French and English Dictionary, 
 a work which has well-nigh replaced all 
 others of its class in Europe and America. 
 
 The superiority of Spiers' Pronouncing 
 School Dictionary over other works of its 
 class, will be readily seen by an enumera- 
 tion of its leading characteristics; and in 
 order that it may in a slight degree speak 
 for itself, a specimen page is herewith 
 appended, and the reader is requested to 
 turn to the words referred to. 
 
 1. It is newly composed from the latest 
 original Dictionaries in the two languages, 
 and therefore contains the words and 
 phrases, both English and French, of 
 modern literature, science and art. 
 
 2. The words of one language are ren- 
 dered with precision and accuracy into the 
 other by equivalents, and not by defini- 
 tions; when definitions are necessary, 
 they are printed in a different type, and 
 placed in parentheses, that the learner may 
 not confound them with the proper equiv- 
 alent. [See in the accompanying page of 
 the Dictionary, the word terre.] N. B. This 
 mark ( — ) denotes the repetition of the 
 
 leading French word ; and this ( =) the rep- 
 etition of the first English word that trans- 
 lates the French word marked thus ( — ). 
 
 3. The various acceptations of words, 
 being modifications of one and the same 
 idea, are arranged in logical order, and 
 separated by figures, in order that they may 
 not be taken for synonyms of the same 
 acceptations. [See the word terme.] • 
 
 4. Acceptations peculiar to certain ob- 
 jects, or to certain arts and sciences', are 
 given in the alphabetical order of their de- 
 signation. [See the words tenue; ter ; feme.] 
 
 5. The principal distinctions to be ob- 
 served in translation, that is, whether the 
 senses are to be applied to persons or things, 
 in a good or bad sense, are uniformly desig- 
 nated. [See the words tentative ; tenue.] 
 
 6. The idioms are given in a separate 
 paragraph, and so classified into series that 
 one may be readily found without the 
 whole being perused. Nouns are pre- 
 sented, 1, with adjectives ; 2, with other 
 nouns ; 3, with prepositions ; 4, with verbs. 
 Verbs are arranged, 1, with adjectives or 
 adverbs; 2, with nouns; 3, in any part 
 of their conjugation ; 4, attended by prep- 
 ositions or adverbs. [See under the 
 words terrain; ienir; se tenir, etc.]

 in its arrangement with the French-Eng 
 lish, and has been executed with equaJ 
 care and precision, with the design to fur- 
 nish every facility to learners for speaking 
 and writing French. In addition to the 
 accurate rendering of English words into 
 their French equivalents, it therefore con- 
 tains the equivalent French for the princi- 
 pal English idioms and colloquial phrases. 
 
 11. By its superior typographical ar- 
 rangement, it is estimated to contain one- 
 third more matter than any other School 
 Dictionary of the French and English lan- 
 guages. 
 
 In conclusion, the Publishers ask no- 
 thing for this work but a careful examin- 
 ation, and comparison with other School 
 Dictionaries. 
 Copies will be sent to any part of the country, by mail, postage paid, by 
 remitting $1 50. F. J. HUNTINGTON, 23 Park Row. 
 
 7. The compound words of the two lan- 
 guages have been increased tenfold. The 
 importance of this feature will be seen, 
 when it is considered that frequent]}*- a 
 compound in one language is a simple 
 term in another. 
 
 8. The irregular tenses and persons of 
 all the French irregular verbs, and the ir- 
 regular plurals of nouns, are inserted in 
 their alphabetical place. 
 
 9. Its system of pronunciation is the 
 one adopted in French Dictionaries for the 
 use of Frenchmen. A mastery of the sounds 
 of the French alphabet, as contained in the 
 "Key to the Pronunciation," wiil there- 
 fore enable a learner to pronounce French 
 (vords correctly. 
 
 10. The English-French Part is the same

 It will contain many valuable features and improvements, including copious additions 
 to the English-French Part, only to be found in this edition. The price will be so 
 moderate as to bring it within reach of every one desirous of possessing the 
 Best French and English Dictionary extant.

 The leading peculiarity in these works 
 is, that they exercise the student through- 
 out in the constant practice of speaking. 
 The preparation of every lesson is a prep- 
 aration for speaking the language, and 
 every lesson is an actual conversation in 
 it. These conversations, too, are progress- 
 ive and systematic ; commencing with the 
 simplest elements of the language, and ad- 
 vancing, one by one, through all the parts 
 of speech, till the rudiments are thorough- 
 
 ly learned. The whole has been prepared 
 with a view to overcome the difficulties 
 which an American meets in acquiring a 
 knowledge of that so necessary part of a 
 finished education. 
 
 Pinney's French Books are used and rec- 
 ommended by many of the ablest teachers 
 in the country. 1 1 is believed that those 
 who become experimentally acquainted 
 with the merits of these text-books will not 
 willingly use any others in this department
