PREFACE.

Within the last thirty years, many improTements have been made in
the education of youth ; particularly in common schools, in which are
taught the branches of learning necessary for the yeomanry of the country.
Among these improvements may be numbered the books which assist
children in acquiring a correct knowledge of our native language. For
want however of a suitable Dictionary for common schools, the list of
books, necessary in a system of instruction, has hitherto been incomplete.
The English Pocket Dictionaries are all imperfect. Some of them contain
obscene and vulgar terms, improper to be repeated before children ; others
abound with obsolete words, or terms of art, which are of no use to com-
mon people ; some of them are extremely faulty in the manner of marking
the accent, making no distinction between the long and short vowels ; all
of them contain some words not used in this country, or not in the same
sense as in Great-Britam ; and what is very important, all of them are
defident in a multitude of words, which are sanctioned by the best usage*

Our language is English ; but it is a fact, proved by history and admitted
by the learned, that two nations, proceeding from die same ancestors, but
established in distant countries, cannot long preserve a perfe^ sameness of
language. From the diversity of objects in different clunates ; from differ-
ences in government and in modes of life ; from continual improvements
in arts which give existence to different artificial objects in different nations ;
from accidental changes which no efforts can restrain, or from other phy>s-
ical and moral causes which can be neither controlled nor defined ; new

iv PREFACE.

terms will be added to a living language, nvith new appiicatioiis ot' old
terms ; while some dialectical variations in oral" utterance will inevitably
vary the spoken language of remote nations.

The Compendious Dictionary which I published the last year, being
intended to comprehend a complete vocabulary of English words now in
use, with brief definitions, forms a convenient book for the daily use of
adults ; but is rather too expensive for common schools ; and contains
many difiScult terms of science, with which common readers of English
have no concern. It is believed that an abridgement of that work, contain-
ing all the words which conmion people have occasion t6 use, and sold at
a less price, will be well received by the great body of farmers and
mechanics in the United States. Every family and every child in school
has occasion for such a Dictionary.

In consulting the convenience of purchasers, I have not, however, pro-
ceeded so far in reducing the size and price, as to sacrifice the essential
benefits of a Dictionary, by omitting a great number of legitimate words
of |k>pular use. To retrench words of common use, with a view to render
a book cheap, is not to consult the real interest of the purchaser ; but
rather to defraud him. A Dictionary ought not to be an imperfect vocab-
ulary ; nor can any work of this sort contain much less than thirty thousand
words, without the omission of terms which are in daily use. I have
endeavored, by steering between extremes, to reconcile the interest of
the purchaser's purse, with the advantages of a tolerably complete
Dictionary.

It is very desirable that a uniform orthography may prevail among the
citizens of the United States. This can never be the case, while they use
a variety of English books, which tio not agree in spelling and pronuncia-
tion. Johnson's orthography, which some compilers follow, has been, in
several classes of words, corrected by modern writers ; as by the omission
of w in error, candor, superior ; and k in public, music, kc. I have extended
this correction to all the words of these classes, with a view to uniformity ;

PREFACE. T

and hav« corrected a few other palpable errors in tlie common orthography.
The mode pursued in Great-Britain of deciding questionable points by the
practice of modem writers, is liable to a serious objection, that it furnishes
no standard of right and wrong. Authorities equally respectable for dif-
ferent modes of spelling may be cited without end; leaving the inquirer
unsatisfied, and the real truth undiscovered. I have adopted a different
mode of deciding doubtful questions of this sort, and by tracing out the
radical words and primitive spelling, have endeavored to ascertain the real
orthography. By pursuing this principle, we arrive at a point which cannot
be disputed ; thus gradually settling controversies and purifying our language
from many corruptions introduced by ignorance or negligence, during the .
confusion of languages under the first Norman princes. Without recurring
to the originals, in the manner here stated, it is impossible, I apprehend, to
adjust the orthography of many words in the language, or to purify it from
numerous barbarisms.

Those who consult this Dictitoary will find it to contain a multitude of
legitimate words, which are not inserted in any similar book, and the
definitions of many others improved in perspicuity and precision. Another
valuable improvement, is, the separation of the words beginning with
/and /, and with' U and F, an advantage not Tiossessed by any British
DictiQnarv.

DIRECTIONS FOR THE PRONUNOATION OF WORDS.

When a vowel has the accent over it, its sound is long, as in v6cal, reUte, rediice, brfgjbtcn.

When the accent is placed after a consonant, the preceding vowel is shcnt, as in
haVit, cus^tom, amend', abhor^renoey abrupt', cylinder.

When the accented syllable contains a digraph or a dipthongal sound, tlie sound being
indicated with sufficient clearness by the letters, the accent is place<l at the end of the
syllable, as in reneV, rejoice', destro/, devour', witlidraw'. The accent has the same
position when a has its fourth Ibund as in oak, thus, countermand', disarm'.

When the pronunciation of a Word is very different from that which liie letters natu-
rally indicate it is expressed by a different orthography.

Ch have tneir Enetish sound, as in church, unless a different pronunciation is noted.

The sound tXg before e and t bein^ reducible to no general rule, it is to be remarked
that ir retains its soft sound like j, as m geiteral^ unless ue contraiy ii noted.

Whenever a direction is given concemine the pronunciation of a radical word, let
the direction be considered as axtending to all the derivatives. Thus g being hard in get
and groCf remains an in fergely forgive, fiw. The learner being directed to pronounce
I'ougn, n^ will extend tlie rule to rottghly and roughnen.

Italic letters are silent, as in bread, earth.

A double accent thus, Io"gic, ma"gie, a"cid, denotes that the sound of the succeeding
consonant belongs to the first syllable, c and g in «uch cases being soft, as Iqjjic, majjic,
assld. Pou"tion is pronounced potMnm.

When a verb ends in a single consonant accented, the consonant is doubled in the parti-
ciple and some other derivatives, thus, admits admUtmg, admittable^'-'abeff abetted. So
also in monosyllables, as pen, penning, penned.

It is needless to give very minute uirections fcH* pronunciation ; for in regular words,
which are nine-tenths of the whole number, the accent alone is sufficient to teach the
pronunciation. The accent being laid on the right syllable and letter, and Hie accented
vowel correctly pronounced, the pronunciation of the unaccented vowels is extremely
easy ; so easy indeed, that it is more difficult to be wrong than right

^ uk my spelling book, the words of irregular pronunciation are classed in tables, with
directions how tney are to be pronounced. The tables and directions are few and simple ;
and if children are fully instructed in them, as they ought to be, they will have overcome
^be chief di^cultics which occur in learning the pronunciation.
