This work contains copious Tables of the Prefixes, the Postfixes, and all
the Derivative English Words, classified under their respective Roots,
wJth examples illustrating their primary and secondary meaning. In the
Notes, the Teacher will find some useful and important information on
the history and peculiar significations of the more abstruse and technical
words. To the Teacher, then, it must prove a valuable manual; to the
Scholar, a useful text-book ; and to those unacquainted with the leamwJ
languages it will furnish a ready Key to tlie obscurities of their own,

PREFACE MA(^/
TO
THE SECOND EDITION.
In complying with the demand for a new Edition of
this Work, the Author has made considerahle im-
provements. He has omitted obsolete words, insert-
ed others, and added an Appendix, containing a
Tabular Keference, and a copious list of Synonymous
and Paronymous terms. The Tabular Reference
will prove a useful help to the teacher, and furnish
the pupil, and those unacquainted with the learned
languages, with an easy key to the Dictionary and
Manual. It may be proper to state, that the words
of the Reference, found in juxtaposition, do not al
ways bear the same or a similar signification, either
with the leading word or with each other. They
point to the roots in the Work itself, under which
some word of kindred meaning with the leading
term is to be found. The table of Synonyms and
Paronyms is a necessary supplement : and affords a

IV PREFACE TO THE
ready remembrancer to the writer and teacher in the
business of composition.
The Hebrew and Greek Alphabets are subjoined,
to enable the pupil and the unlearned to read the
words in these characters, and tlius to prepare them
for commencing with gi-eater advantage the study of
these languages.
To the student of languages, a knowledge of the
commutable or convertible letters is of the utmost
importance. They have therefore been carefully as-
certained, and exemplified in the same word in
nineteen or twenty different languages. For an
example of the labials^ the term bear is selected.
In this word, the radical letters b or one of the la-
bials and r, are to be found in the same position in
all the above languages. The other letters, united
with these to form the teiTn, are either euphonic or
accidental according to the genius of the particular
language, but not essential to the signification. So
also of the examples of the Dentals, and Palatkds or
Gutturals.
The Author has now finished a complete series of
Etjmiological V/orks for the use of schools. Their
utility and efficiency have been established by the
successful result of their general introduction into
the most popular seminaries both in Scotland and
England : by the many editions they have gone

through in so short a period ; and by the fact of tlieir
being reprinted in America and the East Indies. In
the introduction to the American edition of the Dic-
tionary, Dr Keagy, the Editor, has some remarks on
the object of these works, which the Author has
much pleasure in quoting. " This work," says he,
" will be especially useful to those pupils in our
male and female Seminaries, who do not learn Latin
and Greek ; as they will by its aid be able to ac-
quire, in a simple and philosophical manner, all the
difficult temis of the English language, including
most of the terminology of science. They will be
thus prepared to enter on a course of scientific or
literary studies with much greater advantages than
they would otherwise possess. But it is not only to
the mere English scholar that this book may be
useful, it will also offer great facilities to those who
are going through a course of Latin and Greek, by
shewing them the practical bearing of their studies
on our language." — '' The great English Philologist
Dr J, Jones observes, in his Analogiae Latinae,
* If the custom prevailed in all the schools^ (which
assuredly ought to be the case,) of tracing the Eng-
lish to the Latin language, the utility of this last
would be more generally and permanently felt ; nor
would it be so readily forgotten in manhood, after
the long and fruitless pains that have been taken to
Vi PREFACE.
acquire it in youth/ This book presents tlie means
of tracing these connexions to a greater extent than
any work in our language."
" There is only one objection which we anticipate
against the use of this book fen* phrase-making, viz.
that it does not give the definitions of the derivative
words, except in a few instances of peculiar mean-
ings, or for the exemplification of the primitive word,
and leaves the signification to be discovered by the
scholar, who is furnished with all the elements
which form the term. This, so far from being an
objection, presents an advantage of great value. It
offers an opportunity for more of that exertion of
mind which constitutes active education, than could
possibly be effected by giving the definition : just as
it is better to require a pupil to give the boundaries
of a country from a map, than to learn and merely
recite them by rote from a book. The latter is a
passive business, while the former is active. By the
one he gains ideas ; by the other words enly.'
George Heriot's Hospital,"^

PREFACE
TO
THE FIRST EDITION.
The Compiler of the following Work proposed to
himself chiefly to meet the difficulty under which
those unacquainted with the learned languages neces-
sarily labour^ in ascertaining with clearness and pre-
cisioUj the tme and radical signification of words
derived from foreign tongues. In consulting our po-
pular dictionaries, the young and unlettered find them-
selves much embarrassed^ at one time, by numerous
and philosophical definitions given in explanation of
some simple vocable ; at another, by finding a word
defined by another equally difficult to imderstand,
and whichj on being turned up, refers them again to
that, the meaning of wdiich they are in quest of. It
is needless to state that such embaiTassments must
greatly tend to cool the ardor, and repress the aspir-
ing efforts^ of the young mind in the pursuit of
knowledge.
He also conceived that, by presenting the words
of the language arranged according to their genera,
and under their respective o'oots, he would abridge
and facilitate the labours both of teacher and pupil.
The principle on which the work has been con-
VI 11 PREFACE.
struct ed, brings into full operation the pupil's powers
of discrimination and judgment; and while it awakens
Interest, and excites curiosity, he unconsciously ac-
quires those elementary idesis o? vocables , which will
guide him in the proper and legitimate application
of them.
The languages from which by lar the greater pro-
portion of English words now in use originally come,
are Greek and Latin. The Compiler has intention-
ally abstained from introducing words of Saxon ori-
gin. These properly constitute our mother tongue ;
and as they in general express simple ideas, and are
familiar to us from our infancy, it appeared to him
that their admission would have swelled the work
to an inconvenient size. With the exception, there-
fore, of the prefixes and postfixes, they are omitted.
Words borrowed from the French, Spanish, and
modern Italian, being derived chiefly from Latin
roots, — though much altered both in orthography
and inflection, — are in general inserted under the
Latin primitives.
When the usual acceptation of a word differs from
its literal, the peculiarity is generally explained in
the notes, in which the interpretations of Johnson
and Webster are generally adopted ; and in every
word of extensive use, it was judged requisite to
mark the progress of its meaning, and show by what
gradations it has passed from its primitive to its re-
mote and accidental signification. " In most cases,"
says Webster, '* this change consists in a slight de-
flection, or difference of application, which has ob-
tained among different families of the same stock.
In some cases, the literal sense is lost or obscured,
PREFACE. 5X
and the figurative only is retained. The first object,
in such caseSj is to find the primary or literal sense,
from which the various particular applications may
be easily deduced." These nicer shades of the com-
mon meaning, which distinguish the different periods
m the history of language, are discoverable only by a
careful attention to the general scope of the passage.
Many scientific and technical terms, now in use,
have been traced to their source, and defined in their
restricted or appropriate application.
Obsolete words have also been admitted when
they are found in standard works, or when they
possess such a degree of force and beauty, as may
render them deserving of revival.
As the prepositions or prefixes in all languages
constitute an important class of vocables, being used
in composition to vary the sense of other parts of
speech to an unlimited extent, it was deemed useful
to give them a particular consideration. The first
forty pages are occupied in illustrating and aiTang-
ing them according to their respective languages.
Every word, or one of each class in which the pre-
fixes occur, has been given. Another important
ffeniis of vocables are the affixes or terminations.
Accordingly, particular care has been taken, and a
new plan adopted, to determine their precise import.
They have been alphabetically classified and aiTanged
according to the modification of noun, adjective, verh
and adverb. By means of an accurate knowledge of
the prefix and postfix, together with the root, the
primary or radical signification of the word may be
easily ascertained, as well as the elements of the
figurative meaning detected.
X PRErACE,
This method must greatly faciUtate the acquisi-
tion of our vernacular tongue to foreigners, as well
as to our own countrymen, and may in some degree
rescue it from the mischievous influence of sciolists,
and from that overweening spirit of innovation,
which is perpetually disturbing its settled usages,
and filling it with anomalies.
As the plan on which the following Dictionary
is compiled, differs materially from that of every
preceding one, a few explanatory examples may-
be necessary to illustrate its principle, and exhibit
the manner in which it may be used in tuition.
Suppose the word ' attraction should occur, the
pupil may be asked. What is the literal meaning
of the word * attraction' ? He will answer, * a
drawYCig to,' or ^ the act or power of drawYi\<^ to/
From what is it derived ? ' Attract.' — What does
the first syllable or prefix ' at,' of that word signify ?
'To' (See 'at,' page 13.) — Give some other
examples of that prefix ? ' Atiddw, «rtend, ftrtrib-
ute,' &c. — What was its original form ? ' Ad.'
(See 'ad' and its forms, p. 11.) Here the pupil
may be called upon to give the other forms of ' ad,'
viz. — a, ac, af, ag, al, an, ap, ar, as, — with an ex-
ample of each ,• such as, «spire, accede, q/fix, «^gra-
vate, ttZleviate, a^inihilate, «/>pend, arrogate, <7ssimi-
late. — What does the last syllable or postfix ' ion,'
of that word denote ? ' The act of,' or *■ ing.' (See
' ion,' p, .59.) — Give some other example of that
affix havino- the same sigmification ? ' Contribut?o?2,
coWhioii, dissolut/o;?, commot/o??,* &c. (See these
and other examples, p. 59-) — What is the root or
theme of that word ' extraction ? * Tract' — What
PREFACE. XI
does it signify ? ' Draw.' (See ' tr actum* to draw,
p. 567. which refers to ' traho,' p. 568. where the
word ' attraction is to be found. See also note
under ' gravitation/ p. 233.) Here, in alphabet.^
ical order or otherwise, the other words derived from
* tracf may be ehcited. Some such interrogato-
ries as the following may be put by the teacher :
Give a word signifying to d^-aw from ? The
pupil will answer, ' Abs^rac^.' (See * abs,' p. 11.)
— Having power to draw to ? ' Kltract'iYe.' (' at/ as
above, and ' ive/ p. 86.) — To draw together? ^ Con -
tract' (^ con/ p. 14.) — To draw from or down?
' Detract.' (^ de/ p. 18.) — To draw apart or asun.
der^ or to perplex? 'Distract.' (^dis/ p. 21.) —
To draw out? 'Extract.' ('ex/ p. 21.) — That
cannot be drawn or managed ? ' Intractable/ (J in,
p. 26. and 'ble,' p. 79-) — To draio forth, or to
prolong ? ' Vi'otract. {' pro,' p. 32.) — To draw
back ? ' detract,' {' re,' p. 33.) — To draw under or
from ? ' Subtract.' (' sub,' p. 36.) — A mark left by
something j(9as5?w^, or a vestige ? 'Trace,' (p. 570.)
— A beaten path ? ' Track.' — A portion of land,
also a treatise ? ' Tract.' — That may be drawn
out in length? ' TractWe.' (Mle/ p. 85.) — A iraiL
2;?^ _ vehicle, or sledge? ' Trainemi.' — The other
words derived from, or connected with these may
also be asked. The preceding process might, with
advantage, be varied or reversed ; the teacher giving
the word, and requesting the pupil to state its mean-
ing, or the pupil may be called upon to mention
some or all the words derived from that 7^oot.
Interrogated in this manner the pupil would

soon acquire an accurate knowledge of aj\y ge7nis or
class of vocables.
Suppose^ agaln^ the word ' animate' should occur.
What does that word signify ? ^ To give life.' —
Has it any other meaning ? ' Having life.' — What
part of that word denotes to give ? ' Ate.' {' ate/
p. 95.) — Has the affix ' ate,' when annexed to verbs^
any other meaning ? ' To make.' (p. ^5.) — Give
some examples of that termination having this
signification ? ' Abbrevi«fe, antiquafe_, ivMsivate,
renoYate,' &c. — When ' ate' is subjoined to adjec-
tives, what does it denote ? ' Having' or ' being.'
{'ate,' p. 78.) — Give examples? 'Inanimate, af-
fectionate, adequa^^, ^linate,' &c. — When ' ate' is
affixed to nouns, what does it denote ? ' One icho,'
or ' the person who' (^ ate^ p. 46.) — State some ex-
amples ? ' K^xazate, associafe, potentate, prim^fe,'
&c. — What part of the word ' ani?nate signifies
Ife? ' Anim.' {' anima,' -p. 108.) — State another
example ? ' lria7iijnate.'- — What does *■ maniynate
imply ? ' Not having life.' {' in,' p. 26, and ' ate,'
p. 78.) — Proceeding farther in the investigation,
some such questions as the following may be put.
A living creature? ' Anim^X.' — A little anitnal?
' AnirndXcxAe' (J cle,' p. 56.) — The state of being
lively, orlife? 'Animation.' ('ion,' p. 590 — Men-
tion another word of a similar import ? ' Vitality.'
{' vivo,' p. 620.) — Here the words under ' vivo,'
being of similar meaning, may also be given.
Being out of life, or lifeless"^ ' Exanimate.' (p. 2 1 . &
78.) — To give Ife again ? ' 'Reanimate.' (p. 33. &
95.) — Does the root ' ani?n' bear any other import ?
'Mind.' {'animus,' p. 108 i — Give an example?
PREFx\CE. Xlll
*" AnimsidYevt.' — What does aw/madvert signify?
* To turn the mind to, to criticise.' What part of
that word denotes ' ifo' ? 'Ad.' (p. 11.)— What
part imports ' turn ? ' Vert' {' verto,' p. 602.) —
Here an opportunity is afforded of exercising the
pupil on the derivatives of '' verto.' A strong active
feehng of the mind, or hatred ? ' Animosity.' —
The being of equal mind, or equalness of mind ?
' ISiquanimity/ (^ equus' for *■ sequus/ p. 180, and
* ty/ p. 64.) — The being of great mind, or great-
ness (A mind ? ' Magna?z/mity/ (*" magnus/ p. 292.)
— The being of little mind, or littleness of mind ?
' V\i%\\\anim\iy' {f pusillus/ p. 440.) — The being
of one mind, or oneness of mind ? ' '[]na7iim\iy.'
{' unus/ p. 584.)
One example more may be taken. Suppose the
word 'geography should occur. What is the literal
meaning of that word ? ' A description of the earth
or world.' — Whether is it simple or compound ?
^ Compound.' — Of what is it compounded ? ' Ge, the
earth, (p. 219-) and ' Grapho,' to describe, (p. 230.)
It may be proper to state that the letter ' o/ which
intervenes between the * ge/ and *■ graphy/ is eu-
phonic, and is usually inserted between the two com-
ponent or radical parts, of which words derived from
Greek are compounded. — One who describes the
earth or world ? ' G^ogi-apher.' {' er,' p. 47.) —
Pertaining to geography ? * Geographical.' (' al,'
and ' icalj* p. 72.) — The other words from ' Gc,'
(p. 219.) maybe asked, as well as those derived
from ' Terra,' (p. 552.) being the corresponding term
in Latin, denoting ea7-th. A few also of those de-
rive^, from ' Grapho' may be taken

PREFACE.
The Accent is the more forcible utterance of a particular
syllable of a word. And on the final letter of that syllable,
the accent is uniformly placed. In the word coUisi'on, for
example, the accent is marked on the terminating letter ' V
of the accented syllable ' /wi,' which is pronounced lizh ;
and the whole word, kol-lizh'-oii.

* Atlas was a king of Mauritania in Africa, who, when Perseus showed
him Medusa's head, was instantly changed into a targ-e mountain, from
which the contiguous ocean was named Atlantic. The fable, that Atlas
supported the heavens on his back, arose from his fondness for astronomy,
and his often frequenting elevated places and mountains, whence he might
observe the heavenly bodies. A collection of maps is called Atlas, probably
from a picture of him in this attitude, prefixed to some collection.

etymology, it is written t/ or e. Some deduce it from the name of a person
eminently skilled in the science ; whose name, however, is written both
xiJ.u.yii and z'"^'^i^' Others consider Chemi, the Coptic name of Egypt,
which was the cradle of this science, as the original. — V. Morin. Diet. Etm.
Fr. et Gr '♦ It is derived originally from chemia, and that word from
Cham. — The Egyptians were deeply skilled in astronomy and geometry ;

Chjmi^-^try is an art whereby sensible bodies contained in vessels, or capa-
ble of being contained therein, are so changed, by means of certain instru-
ments, and principally fire, that their several powers and virtues are there-
by discovered, with a view to philosophy or medicine. — Boerhaave.
Most of the substances belonging to our globe are constantly undergo-
ing alterations in sensible qualities; and one variety of matter becomes,
as it were, transmitted into another. TJie object of chemical philosophy is
to ascertain the causes of all such phenomena, whether natural or artifi
cial, and to discover the laws by which they are governed. — SirH.Davy

* " When certain bodies are rubbed against each other, for instance, amber
or glass upon woollen cloth, small sparks dart from them, and they acquire
the property of drawing light objects towards them, which are almost in-
stantly repelled. All bodies do not possess this property (in the same de-
gree). If, instead of amber or glass, a metal be employed, little or no
effect is produced. The substance first discovered to draw light objects to
itself is amber, theviXixr^ov, electron of the Greeks, and hence the origin of
the word electricity. Many others have since been found to possess the
same quality, as glass, jet, sulphur, wax, resin, silk, fur, and uorsfed.
These are called electrics, because, when rubbed, they excite electriciti/.
Those, on the contrary, which have not this property, that is, those which
do not attract light objects when laibbed, are called non-electrics ; they are
metals, water, and a number of salts and earths. — The most remarkable
property of electrified bodies, is their first attracting and then repelling
light objects."— Fj//e5 Chemistry.

* " The equator on the earth, or equinoctial in the heavens, is a great
circle, whose poles are the poles of the world. It divides the globe into
two oqunl parts, the northern and southern hemispheres. It passes through
the e.'st and west points of the horizon ; and at the meridian, is raised as
much above the lioriaon, as is the compliment of the latitude of the place.
Whenever the sun comes to this circle, it maket eqi/ai days and nights all
round the globe, because he then rises due east, and sets due west, which
he doth at no other time of the year." — Harris.
f " Equinoxes are the precise times in which the sun enters into the first
point oi Aries and Libra; for then, moving exactly under the equinoctial
(line), he makes our dai/s and nights equal. This he doth twice a-year,
about the 21st of March and 23d of September, which therefore are called
the vernal and autumnal equinores." — Han-is.

* Hercules, a celebrated hero of antiquity, the son of Jupiter and Alc-
mena, who travelled as far as the Straits of Gibraltar, and is said to have
erected two pillars, one at Cadiz in Spain, and the other opposite at Ceuta
in Africa. Hercules, by the will of Jupiter, was subjected to the power of
Eurystheus, king of Argos and Mycenae, son of Sthenelus and Nicippe. He,
apprehensive of Hercules' power and strength, commanded him to achieve
a number of enterprizes, the most difficult and arduous ever known, ge-
nerally called the twelve Inboiirs of Hercules. For undertaking these, he
received a coat of arms and helmet from Minerva ; a swordfxora. Mercury ;
a horse from Neptune ; a shield from Jupiter ; a bow and arrows from
Apollo ; and from Vulcan, a golden cuirass and brazen buskin, with a ce- ,
lebrated club of brass. The first labour imposed by Eurystheus upon Her-
cules, being yet in the 16th year of his age, was, to kill the lion ofNemcea,
which ravaged the country near Mycenas. 2. To destroy the I^etncean Hy-
dra, which had 7 heads according to Apollodorus, 50 according to Simoni-
des, and 109 according to Diodorus. When one head was destroyed, two
others immediately sprang up ; but his friend lolas, by his command, burn-
ed the root of it with a hot iron, which succeeded, and he became victorious.
3. To bring alive and unhurt into the presence of Eurystheus a stafffamous
for its incredible swiftness, its golden horns, and brazen feet. 4. To bring
alive a tvild boar, which ravaged the neighbourhood of Erymanthus. In
this expedition he destroyed the Centaur, and caught the boar, at whose
sight Eurystheus was so frightened, that he hid himself for some days in
his brazen vessel. 5. To clean the stables of Augeas, where Si'OO oxen had
been confined for many years. 6. To kill the carnivorous birds which ra-
vaged the country near the lake Stymphalis in Arcadia. 7. To bring alive
into Peloponnesus a prodigious wild bull, which laid waste the island Crete.
8. To bring the mares of Diomedes, which fed upon human flesh. 9. To
obtain the girdle of the queen of the Amazons. 10. To kill the monster
Geryon, king of Gades or Cadiz, and bring to Argos his numerous flocks,
which fed upon human flesh. 11. To obtain apples from the garden of the
Hesperides. 12. The last and most dangerous of his labours, to bring upon
earth the three-headed dog Cerberus, which guarded the entrance of hell, to
prevent the living from entering the infernal regions, and the dead from
escaping from their confinement. His exploits are celebrated by the poets
and historians of antiquity. — See Lempriere's Classical Dictionary,

■^ Catholic, literally, the ivhcle from side to side, all, general. The church
ot Jesus Christ is called catholic^ because it extends throughout the world,
and is not limited by time, or to any sect of Christians. Some truths are
said to be catholic, because they are received by all the faithful. Catholic
is often set in opposition to heretic or sectary, and to schisttiatic. " Catho-
lic, or canonical epistles, are seven in number ; that of St James, two of
St Peter, three of St John, and that of St Jude. They are called catholic,
because they are directed or addressed to all the faithful, and not to any
particular church ; and canonical, because they contain excellent rules of
faith and molality." — Calmet, Catholic, the noun, is usually applied to a
papist; a Roman Catholic,

Ignatius Loyola, a Spanish military man, in the sixteenth century ; which
presumed to take the name of the Society of Jesus. " This society having
been erected on purpose to fight the Pope's battles, not with prayers, and
tears, and monastic addresses, but with learning, policy, and address,—
its members are freed from all service or austerities, which would interrupt
their studies, or might render their address less agreeable to all sorts of
people."— D)- Geddes's Tracts. The word, in our language, has been ap-
plied to men of great cunning, craft, and deceit; whence the common word

~ The Jubilee was the grand Sabbatical year of the Jews, celebrated after
every seven septenaries of years ; viz. every forty-ninth or fiftieth year, in
commemoration of their deliverance out of Egypt This was a year of ge-
r.'^raL release, not only of all debts, like tlie coinmon Sabbatical year, but
of all Klai'e-^ ; and of all lands and possessions which had been sold, or
f hcr\\ris3 alienated from the families and tribes to which they originally
belonged. Critics are not agreed about the etymology of the word b^lT",
Jiihel. Some derive it from Jubal, the inventor of musical instruments.
Gen. iv. 21.; and suppose that this year was named after him, because it
!" .1 year of mirth and Joy, on which music is a common attendant ; or as
w? say in English, a jovial time ; the word jovial being perhaps a corrup-
tion of the Hebrew word Jobel; or else, because it was ushered in with the
'.-na.'ical sound of the trumpet through the whole land. There is another
opinion, which bids as fair for probability as any, that Jobel comes from
/"", jabal, in hiphil b^lurT, hebil, which signifies to recal, restore, bring
hack, &c. because this year restored all slaves to their liberty, and brought
back all alienated estates to the families to which they originally belonged.
Accordingly, the Septuagint renders Jabel, a.0iiric, a remission. Lev. xxv.
]ii. ; "and see 8— 19. AndJosephus saiih it signifies i\svO;c,xv, liberty. —
Juscp, Antiq. Lib. III. cap- xii. sect. 3. — See Jennings' Jew, Antic;.
t In the strictest sense, this appellation rT'l'in', Jehudim, lo'Axioi, or
Jeics, belongs only to the posterity and tribe of JudaJi, after the defection
of the ten tribes. Hebi e'vs, in the full extent of the word, were the pos-
terity of Abraham, the Hebrew; Israelites, the posterity of Jocoft, or Is-
rael ; and Je'.cs, the posterity of Judah, one of the sons of Israel. But
after the division of Abraham and Israel's posterity into two kingdoms,
under Rehoboam and Jeroboam, the one (under Rehoboam), was called
the kingdom of Judah, because the tribe of Judah had the greater part of
it, and also because the kings were of that tribe ; the other, ( wt-.o revolted
under Jeroboam), consis'^ing of ten tribes, was called the kingdom of Israel.
Hence arose a distinction" between Jetcs and Israelites. But as the ten
tribes were afterwards, in a manner, l^st in the Assyrian captivity, and the
kingdom of Judah only continued through succeeding ages a body politic,
the name Jews came to be applied indifferently to all Hebrews and Israel-
ites, whether they belonged to the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin, or to
the ten revolting tribes, whether they returned to Judea (as no doubr some
of the ten, as well as of the two, tribes did, Ezra vi. 17.) or not.— Jennings'

f J.evites, the posterity of Levi, were one of tlie tribes of Israel ; and from
the great zeal they shewed against idolatry in the case of the golden calf,
(Exod. xxxii. 26 — 28), God was pleased to set that whole tribe apart to the
office of ministration in his service in the sanctuary, instead of the first-
born of Israel, Numb. i. 47—54. iii. 12, 13. chap. viii. 5—26. Aaron and his
family were appointed to theoffice of high priest, Lev. viii. 1 Chron. xxiii. 13.
But the Levites were a lower order of ecclesiastical persons, inferior to the
priests, and their assistants in the sacred service, lChron.xxiii.26. to the end.

* liivery, the act of giving possession ; (Livery and seison is deliverr/ znd

tained. The clothes given to servants, from the scarfs or ribbands of cho-
sen colours, given by the ladies of old to knights. " To such (knights) as
were victorious, prizss were awarded by the judges, and presented by the
hands of ladies, — with ribbands, or scarfs, of chosen colours, called liveries.
Those liveries are the ladies' favours spoken of in romance ; and appear
to have been the origin of the ribbands which still distinguish so many or-
ders of knighthood." — Brt/djon's Summary of Heraldri/. From the old
cavaliers wearing the livery of their mistresses, the custom of people of
quality making their servants wear a livery, to denote service, is supposed
to be derived,— hence a particular dress; a garb worn as a token or con-
sequence of any thing. Livery, in former days, thus seems also to have
been used for a cockade. Liveiy, in London, denotes the collective body
of livei-ymen, or the freemen of a company. — Johnson's Diet, by Tod.
t Locust, signifies, " (1.) a certain vile insect. 'I'heir nature is to be
together, therefore vast multitudes are resembled by them, Nah. iii. 15.
In Arabia, and other countries that are infested by them, they come in
vast numbers upon their cam when ripe, and what they do not eat, they
infect with their touch and their moisture coming from them ; and after-
wards dying in great numbers, they poison the air, and cause a pestilence.
God plagued the Egyptians, by sending swarms of them into their land,

* Mahomet, a noted Arabian impostor, was bom 527, — bis father a Pa-
gan, his mother a Jewess, — began in COS or 012, at Mecca, in Arabia, to
declare himself a prophet, and, by the assistance of a Jew and a renegado
Christian, formed a farrago of doctrines and rites, in which there was a
mixture^ of Paganism, Judaism, and Christianity. By indulging his ad-
herents in sensualiti/, ambition, and the love of booty, and promising them
a carnal heaven hereafter, he intoxicated the imagination, and seized the
passions of his eastern followers. He propagated his religion by the sword,
declaring that he who fought the battles, and died in the field, in the defence
of it, his sins, of whatever nature, or however enormous, being pardoned,
was crowned with honour in the highest heaven. He died in the year 632,
t Malapropos, unseasonably, or at an improper time: imsuitably.

* Pulse or Pulsation, in animals, the beating or throbbing of the heart
and arteries, in the process of carrying on the circulation of the blood.
The blood being propelled by the contraction of the heart, causes the ar-
teries to dilate, so as to render each dilatation perceptible to the touch in
certain parts of the body, — as, in the radial art&ry, &c. More particular-
ly, the pulse is the sudden dilatation of an artery, caused by the projectile
force of the blood, which is perceptible to the touch. Hence we say, to
feel the pulse. The pulse is frequent or rare, quick or slow, equal or un-
equal, regular cr intermitting, hard or soft, strong or weak, &c. The
pulses of an adult in health are little more than one pulse to a second ; in
certain fevers, the numbering is increased to 90, 10(», or even to 140 in a
minute. The stroke with which a medium is affected by the motion of
light, sound, &c. ; oscillation; vibration. To feel one's pulse, metaphysi-
cally, to sound one's opinion ; to try or to know one's mind. Pulse, lite-
rally, beaten out as seeds; leguminous plants or their seeds ; the plants
whose pericarp is a legume or pod, — as, beans, peas, &c.

* Philosophy, literally, the love of wisdom. But in inodern acceptation,
philosophy is a general term, denoting an explanation of the reasons of
things ; or an investigation of the causes of phenomena both of mind and
of matter. When applied to any particular department of knowledge, it
denotes the collection of general laws or principles under which all the
subordinate phenomena or facts relating to that subject are comprehended.
Thus, that branch of philosophy which iro;its of God, iVc. is called theo-
lof^y; that which treats of nature is called pl/ysics or natural jMlosophy ;
that which treats of man is called logic and ethics, or nio.-nl philosophy ,
that which treats of the mind is called intellectual or mental philosophy, or
metaphysics. The objects of philosophy are to ascertain facts or truth,
and the causes of things, or their phenomena ; to enlarge our views of
God and his works, and to render our knowledge of both practically use-
ful, and subservient to human happiness. [ Philter, a potion
intended or adapted to excite love,- s. ch;iim to excite love.

reverence for a parent, or upright magistrate; but we stand in awe of a
tyrant. This distinction may not always be observed.

* Avert c^e, to take satisfaction for an injury, by punishing the injuring
party. To avenge and i-evenge, radically, are synonymous. But modern
usage restricts aveiis;e to the taking of just punishment, and revenge to
the infliction of pain or evil maliciously, in an illegal manner.
t Vengeance, the infliction of pain on another, in return for an injury
or offence. Such infliction, proceeding from inalice or m.ere resentment,
and not necessary for the purposes of justice, is revenge. When it pro-
ceeds from a mere love of justice, and the necessity of ])unishing offenders
for the support of the laws, it is vengeance. In this case, veiigeanve is a
just retribution, recompense, or punishment ; and it is the scriptural use
of the word.
