This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project

to make the world's books discoverable online.

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject

to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books

are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.

A Suggestion to the Pupil

As you advance in your studies and are promoted to
higher grades new and more difficult questions will
continually arise. You will often feel the need of a
larger and more complete dictionary to answer many
puzzling questions in spelling, language work, history,
geography, and science. A new dictionary, —
Webster's Collegiate, Third Edition, — has just been
issued to meet your needs. This new book is the largest
and latest abridgment of Webster's New Interna-
tional, the parent dictionary of the latest Merriam-
Webster series, justly known as the One Supreme
Authority. At school you probably have access to one
or both of these dictionaries, but do you know that study
at home is made easier and is more quickly accomplished
when you have there the opportunity to use one of the
larger dictionaries ? HaveyowaNEW
International or Collegiate in
your home?

Thb CoMicoN School Dictionary here presented is compiled from
Webster's International Dictionary of the English Language. As that
work replaced Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, so this is designed to
take the place of the Common School Dictionary originally prepared by
Mr. William G. Webster, in 1857, and at various times i*e vised and en-
larged. The present volume is an entirely new work, and contains many
words and definitions not to be found in its predecessors. Its purpose is
to give the correct orthography, pronunciation, and definition of all words
which pupils in Common Schools are likely to meet with.

The pronunciation of every word is clearly shown by respelling with
phonetic markings that are explained in the key lines below the pages.
For the first time in a school dictionary, the pronunciation of unaccented
syllables is thus accurately indicated.

The addition of many new words, and the free use of illustrations to
help in understanding the subject, have not excessively increased the bulk
of the volume. Condensation has been accomplished by omitting defini-
tions of derived words (mostly adverbs, adjectives, and abstract nouns)
which are self-explaining as soon as the root word is understood ; and,
farther, such derivatives have usually been grouped in the same para-
graph with the root word, where this could be done without interrupting
the alphabetical order. On the other hand, care has been taken to dis-
criminate between words of the same spelling and pronunciation, but of
different etymology and meaning. For instance, Sound is a form repre-
senting ybur words of the same pronunciation but of widely different ori-
gin and sense. In older dictionaries such words appeared as one word
with different meanings. This mode, tending to confuse or mislead the
pupil, has been carefully avoided.

Teachers and students will notice that the Vocabulary presented in
this book is nearly twice as full, and the treatment of words much more
satisfactory, than has ever before been attempted in a Common School
Dictionary. This has been accomplished by making the book a diction-
ary of English words, and by omitting such special lists and phrases as
belong more properly to works of a higher grade.

RULES FOR SPELLING CERTAIN
CLASSES OF WORDS.

FOUNDED ON THE ORTHOGRAPHY OF DR. WEBSTER, AS

EXHIBITED IN THIS VOLUME.

§ 1. The letters / and /, at the end of mono-
ayUables, and standing immediately after single
vowels, are generally doubled ; as m alaff^ c^t^,
doff^ puff; all^- btll^ hUl^ toll^ nvU, The words
elef^ {ff o/y and «o/, are exceptions.

I 2. The letter «, at the end of a monosyllable,
and after a idngle vowel, is generally doabled, ex-
cept when used to form the possessive case or
plural of a noun, or third person singular of a
verb ; as in grcusj press, htss, tnoss, truss. The
only important exceptions are Of, gas, has, toas,
yes, his, is, thus, and us.

§ 3. Besides /, I, and s, the only consonants
doubled at the end of a word are b, a, g, m, n, p,
r,t, and z. Words in which these letters are
doubled are abb, ebb; add, odd, rudd; egg,
mumm (to mask); inn, bunn; toapp ; gnarr,
parr, err^ birr, shirr, skirr, burr, purr; mitt,
^lUt ; fizz, fuzz, buzz.

§ 4. A consonant standing at the end of a
word immediately after a diphthong or double
▼owel is never doubled. The words ail, peat,
haul, door, and maim, are examples.

§ 6. Monosyllables ending, as pronounced,
with the sound of k, and in which o follows the
vowel, have usually k added after the c; as in
black, knock, buck. The words lac, sac, talc,
zinc, ploc, roc, soc, arc, marc, ore, and ftsc, are
exceptions.

Words of more than one syllable, ending in ic
or iac, which formerly ended in A;, also words de-
rived from the Latin or Oreek languages, or from
I other sources, or formed in an analogous manner,
are now written without the k ; as, maniac, mu-
sic, public. The word derrick is an exception.
Words of more than one syllable, in which c is
preceded by other vowels than i or ia, commonly
- end in ck ; as, arrack, barrack, hammock, hillock,
wedlock. The words almanac, sandarac, limbec,
xebec, manioc, and havoc, are exceptions.

§ 6. In derivatives formed from words ending
in c, by adding a termination beginning with e, i,
or y, the letter k is inserted after the c, in order
that the latter may not be inaccurately pro-
nounced like s before the following vowel : as,
edie, colicky; traffic, trafficked, trafficking, traf-
fiektr ; wtncy «tfid^.

yi

§ 7. In derivatives formed by adding a term!-
nation beginning with a vowel to monoeyUables
and words accented on the last syllable, when
these words end in a single consonant (except z)
preceded by a single vowel, that consonant is
doubled ; as, clan, clannish ; plan,planned,plan-
ning, planner; hot, hotter, hottest; vnt, witty ;
cabal', cabal'ler ; abet', abel'ted, ahet'ting, abet'-
tor ; infer', inferred', infer^ring.

The derivatives of the word g<u (except gassed^
gassing, and gassy) are written with but one s;
as, gaseous, gaseity, gasify, Ex'cellence,tuibeing
from the Latin ^u^lens, retains the double I,
though one / has been dropped from the termina-
tion of excel'. It is no exception to this rule
that chanceUor, and the derivatives of metal and
crystal, as metalloid, metaUurgy, erystaUine,
crystallize, and the like, are written with the /
doubled, since they are derived respectively from
the Latin cancellarius (through the French), and
metallum, and the Greek cpvirraAAov. 8o idso
the word tran^illity retains the double/ as being
from the Latm tranquillitas, while the English
derivatives of tranquil, though often written with
two Vs, are more properly written with only one,
as tranquilize, tranquilizer, and the like.

§ 8. When a diphthong, or a dig^ph repre-
senting a vowel sound, precedes the final conso-
nant of a word, or the accent of a word ending in
a single consonant falls on any other syllable than
the last, or when the word ends in two different
consonants, the final consonant is not doubled in
derivatives formed by the addition of a termina-
tion beginning with a vowel : as, daub, daubed,
dauber ; need, needy ; rer'el, rett'eUd, rev'eling ;
trnv'el, trav'eling, trav'eler; profit, profited;
stand, standing.

The final consonant is doubled in the deriva-
tives of a few words ending in ^, in order to
diminish the liability to its being pronounced like
j, before e or i: as, humbug, humbugged, hum-
bugging ; periwig, periwigged. The word tooolen
is more generallv thus written, in the United
States, with one t; but in England It la written
woollen.

■yOalde than the last, the final oonaonanta of
which are, by yery many writers and lexioogra-
phers, doubled in their derivativea, unneoeaaarily
and Gontnurily to analogy* These words are
chiefly thoee ending in ^ with also a few of other
terminations. The following list, the words in
which are chiefly verbs, includes the most im-
portant of those m regard to which usage varies :
namely, apparel^ barrel^ bevel, bias, bowels and its
compounds, amcel, carburet, and all similar words
endmg in ureU cavil, card, channel, chUeltcam-
promtt, caufuel, cudgd, diali duhevel, aowd.

thai, marvel, medal, metal, model, panel, parallel,
parcel, pencil, peril, pistol, pommsl, quarrel, rav-
el, revel, rivaf, rowel, shovel, shrivel, snivel, tas-
sel, tinsa, trammel, travel^unnel, unravel, vial,
victual, worship. In this Dictionary, the deriva-
tives of these words are made to conform to the
rule, as recommended by Walker, Lowth, Perry,
and other eminent scholars.

S 9. Derivatives formed from words ending in
a double consonant, by adding one or more sylla-
bles, commonly retain both consonants : as, ebb,
ebbing ; odd, oddly ; stiff, stiffness ; /ell, feUable ;
skUl, skUlful, skU{fulness; will, wiUful, wiU ful-
ness; dtUlt dullness ; fuUf fullness. So also the
double / is retained in the words installment, in-
thrallment, thralldom, and enrollment (from in-
stall, inthrall, thrall, and enroll), in order to pre-
vent the false pronunciation they might receive if
spelled with one /. Many writers and lexicogra-
phers, especially in England, omit one / in these
words, As also in the derivatives of skill, will,
dull, aadfull, formed by adding the syllables ly
aodness.

The derivatives of pontiff toe exceptions to the
rule, being written with only one /; as, ponti/ic,
pontifical, pontificial, and the like. One I also is
dropped in a few words formed by adding the
teirmlnation ly to words ending in //, in order to
prevent the concurrence of three l*s : as, ill, illy :
dua,duUy;fuU,fuUy.

§ 10. In derivatives formed from words end-
ing with silent e, the e is generally retained when
the termination begins with a consonant : aa^jmle,
paleness ; hate, haiefvl : move, movement, when,
however, the e is immediately preceded by an-
other vowel (except e), it i« often dropped from
the derivative: aa,due, duly; awe, awful; and
derivatives and compounds of these words.

The words whollif, nursling, wisdom, abridg-
ment, acknowledgment, lodgment^ judgment, and
the compounds of some of these, are exceptions.
The last four, however, are written, by many
authors, abridgement, acknowledgement, lodge-
ment. Judgement.

§ 11. In derivatives formed from words end-
ing with nlent e, when the termination begins
with a vowel, the e is generally omitted, except
in the cases mentioned in the next paragraph : as,
bride, bridal ; use, usage ; come, coming ; shape,
shaping, move, movable, fleece, fleecy: force,
/oreibug.

The e is retained in the words hoeing, shoeing,
and toeing (from noe, shoe, and toe), in order to

prevent doubt as to ttw pronanciafeioii. It is re-
tained, also, in the words dyeing, stngeing,
springeing, swingeing, Hngeina (from dye, singe,
springe, swinge, tinge), to distinguish them from
dying, singing, springing, swinging, tinging
(from die, sing, spring, swing, ting). The word
mUeage, as commonly written, does not omit the
e, though it is sometimes, and more correctly,
spelled milage. The words lineage, limxU, and
pineal, though apparently exceptions, are not
really such, since thev are derived not directly
from line and pine, but from the Latin linea
(through the French), linealis, and pinea. The
e, standing, in a derivative, before a termination
beginning with a or o, and immediately after c or
g, is retained in order to preserve the soft sounds
of these consonants : as, peace, peaceable ; notice,
noticeable ; manage, manageable ; change, diange-
able ; advantage, ndvantageous ; outrage, outrage-
ous , mortgage, mortgageor. The latter word is
sometimes very improperly written mortgagor,
and pronounced mor^ga-jor,

$ 12. In derivatives formed from words end-
ing in ie, by adding the termination ing, the e is
dropped, and the t changed to y, in order to pre-
vent two Vs from coming together : as, die, dying ;
vie, vying.

J 13. In derivatives of words ending in y pre-
ed by a consonant, and formed by appending
any termination except one beginning with i, the
y is usually changed into i : as, icy, iciest, icily ;
mercy, merciless ; foggy, foggtness ; pity, pitiful.

The derivatives of adjectives of one syllable
ending in y preceded by a consonant, are excep-
tions, and usually retain the y: as, shy, shyness.
But the adjectives drier and driest, from dry, are
commonly vmtten with i instead of y. Deriva-
tives formed by adding the terminatu>n ship, as
secretaryship, suretyship, ladyship, and the like,
also retain the y. The words babyhood and lady-
kin are likewise exceptions. The y is also re-
tained in the possessive case singular of nouns,
when formed by adding s with the apostrophe :
as, couniry^s, everybody's, >

§ 14. Derivatives formed by affixing a termi-
nation to words ending in y preceded by a vowel,
generally retain the y unchanged : as, gay, gay-
ety, gayly ; obey, obeying ; joy, joyful ; gluey,
glueyness.

The words daily, laid, paid, said, saith, aHain,
and staid (from day, lay, pay, say, slay, and stay),
with their compounds, are exceptions. Staid,
however, is sometimes written stayed. Deriva-
tives from words ending in uy, as colloquies, from
colloquy, are not exceptions to the rule, as «, in
such cases, is not strictly a vowel, but stands for
the consonant w.

§ 16. Derivatives formed by appending a syl-
lable beginning with a vowel to words ending with
a vowel sound, generally retain the letter or let-
ters representing such sound : as, huzza, huz-
zaed ; agree, agreeable, agreeing ; weigh, weigh-
ing; bmp, botoed ; beau, beauish.

Derivatives of words of this class ending in
silent e, as also those formed from words ending
in double e by adding a termination beginning

▼lii RULES FOB SPELLING CERTAIN GLASSES OF WORDS.

with 0, drop the final .* as, Am, koed; apree,
agreed. The caaes mentioned in aectioua lit 12,
and 13 are also exceptions.

§ 16. Derivatives formed by prefixing one or
more syllables to words ending in a double con-
sonant commonly retain both consonants : as, re-
buffy be/ally itUhrall, foreteU^ f^fi^j emboss (from
buff.faU, thrall, tell^fiU, boss).

The word wUU is an exception, being always
written with one /. Those words of this class
which end in U are written by some authors, es-
pecially in England, with one / .* as, be/alj in-
thral, foretelj fulfil, enrol. The words distill and
instiU should be written with the / doubled,
though they are <rften written di^U and instUy
with only one /.

§ 17* Compound worda formed by jolnii^
two or more words commonly retain all the let-
ters of the simple words : as, stiff-necked^ iride-
tnoiithed.

There are numerous exceptions to this rule,
many of them compounds which by long use have
acquired the force of single words. They are the
following: namely, some compounds of all and
well ; as, almighty, almost, alone, already, also,
ndthough, altogether, always, withal, therewithal,
wherewithal, welcome, welfare ; — compounds of
mass ; as, Christmas, Michaelmas, etc. ; — words
of which the second part is the adjective /t«U; as,
artful, woeful ; — also, the words chilblain, ful-
fill, namesake, neckerchief, numskull, pcuiime,
standish, and wherever,

§ 18. The plural of nouns regularly ends in s,
or, in certain classes of words, in es.

When the noun in the singular ends with such
a sound that the sound of s can unite with it
and be pronounced without forming a separate
syllable, s only is added in forming the plural :
as, sea, seas; woe, woes; canto, cantos; claw,
claws; chief, chiefs; path, paths; gem, gems;
act, acts. A few plurals from nouns ending in
preceded by a consonant, end in es: as, echo,
echoes ; cargo, cargoes ; potato, potatoes. Other
nouns of this class generally form their plurals
regularly, though usage differs with regard to
some of them. Those in which final o is preceded
bv a vowel form their plurals regularly. The
plural of alkali is written alkalis or alkalies ; that
of rabbi, either rabbis or rabbles. With regard
to other nouns ending in i usage differs, though
the^ are more properly written with the termi-
nation is.

When the noun in the singular ends with such
a sound (as that of ch, sh, j, s, x, or z) that the
sound of s can not unite with it in pronunciation,
but must form a separate syllable, e is inserted
before s in forming the plural, unless the word
ends with silent e, in which case the Utter serves
to form a separate syllable with s: as, church,
churches; age, ages; lace, laces; gas, gases;
maze, mazes.

To express the plural of a letter, figure, or any
character or sign, or of a word mentioned with-
out regard to its meaning, the letter s, generally
preceded by the apostrophe, is appended, as in
the phrases, **The two/'« in all;" *'The two

0*s in 400 ; ** " The why^s and wherefore^s of the
question."

§ 19. Nouns ending in y preceded by a con8o>
naiit form their plural by adding es and changing
y into t .' as, mercy, mercies ; sky, skies ; pity,
pities. This rule includes words ending in guy,
in which u, being pronounced like w, is strictly a
consonant : as, colloquy, colloquies. The plural
of proper nouns ending in y preceded by a conso-
nant, is formed by changing y into ies, according
to the rule: as, "The three Maries." Many
writers, however, form the plural of such words
by simply adding s : as, *^ The three Marys."

When the singular of a noun ends in y preceded
by a vowel (except « having the power ol w), the
plural is r^ularly formed by adding s only : as,
day, days; key, keys; money, moneys; attorney,
attorneys; alloy, cdloys; guy, guys. Some plu*
rals of the latter class are often inaccurately writ-
ten with the termination ie« .* as, monies, attOT'
nies, and the like.

§ 20. The plurals of a few nouns ending in /
or/e are irregularly formed by clianging forfe
into ves. The following wwds, with their com-
pounds, are the principal examples : namely, life,
lives; knife, knives; wife, wives; leaf, leaves;
sheaf, sheaves; loaf, loaves; beef, beeves; thief ^
thieves; calf, calves; half, halves; elf, elves;
shelf, shelves; self, selves; wolf, wolves. The
plural of staff is sometimes written staffs, but
more commonly staves, except when it means a
corps of officers, either military or civil, in which
sense it is always written staffs. The plural of
wharf is generally written wharfs in England ; in
the United States it is more commonly, but im-
properly written wharves, as it is also by some
recent English writers. The plurals of hoof and
turf, formerly written hooves and turves, are now
written hoofs and turfs. The plurals of other
nouns ending in f,fe, orff, are formed r^^ularljr
by the addition of s only.

§ 21. In the following nouns, the plural b
distinguished from the singular only by a cha]^;e
of the vowel or voWel sound of the word : namely,
man, men ; woman, women : goose, geese ; foot,
feet; tooth, teeth: brother, brethren ; louse, lice;
mouse, mice. Words which end in the syllable
man, and are not compounds, form their plurals
regularly, by adding s only : as, cayman, cay-
mans; desman, desmans: firman, firmans; tal-
isman, talismans; Oerman, Germans: MtisstU'
man, Mussulmans.

§ 22. A few plurals end in en : namely, broth-
er, brethren ; chUd, children ; ox, oxen. To these
may be added the obsolete forms eyne, kine,
shoon, hosen, housen (from eye, cow, shoe, hose,
house), tlie first three of which, though they have
received a slightly different form, end, as pro-
nounced, with the sound of n.

§ 23. The words brother, die, pea, and penny,
have each two plurals of different forms and with
different significations: as, brothers, male chil-
dren of the same parent, also, members of the
same society, association, class, or profession;
brethren, members of the same religious or eccle-
siastical body, the word in this form being rarely

RULES FOR SPELLING CERTAIN CLASSES OF WORDS. ix

used except in religious writings, or in scriptural
language, where it also has the same meaning
that bntthers has in ordinary language ; dieSf im-
plements for making impressions by stamping, or
for making screws, also the cubical parts of ped-
estals ; dice^ the cubical blocks used in games of
chance ; peas^ seeds of the pea plant, when a defi-
nite number is mentioned ; pease^ the same in
bulk, or spoken of collectively ; pennie*i the coins,
eapecially when a definite number is mentioned ;
pence, the amount reckoned by these coins.

§ 24. A few words, mostly names of animals,
have the same form in the plural as in che singu-
lar : as, deer, sheep, trout, and tlie like.

§ 25. Many words adopted from foreign lan-
guages retaui their original plurals : as, datum,
data : criterion, criieria ; genus, genera ; larva,
larvae ; crisis, crises ; matrix, matrices { Jocus,
Joci ; monsieur, messieurs.

Many words of this class, while retaining the
original plurals, have also a second, formed after
the analogy of Bnglish words of similar termina-
tion : as, fomitUa, formulsa, or formulas ; beau,
beaux, or beaus ; index^ indices, or indexes ; stra-
tum, strata, or straiums ; bandit, banditti, or ban-
dits; cherub, cheruMm, or c/terubs- seraph, ser-
aphim, or seraphs. The plurals of the last two
words are sometimes incorrectly written cher-
ubimsand seraphim^, witUdovible plural termina-
tions, from ignorance or f orgetfulness of the fact
that, in Hebrew words, im is a plural ending.

§ 26. In certain loose compounds consisting
of a nomi followed by an adjective or other qual-
ifying expression, the plural is commonly formed
by making the same change in the noun as when
it stands alone : as, court-martial, eourts-mar-
tial; cousin -german, cousins • guman ; son-in-
law, sons-in-law. When, howeTsr, the adjective
is so closely joined to the noun that the compound
has the force of a simple word, the plural of the
compound is commonly formed like that of any
other word of the same termination : as, eupfvi,
eupfids : handfiU, handfuls.

% 27. There are maify words, besides those
mentioned in the preceding paragraphs, in respect
to which usag^, even that of the best authors, is
variable. The most important of these words are
mentioned in this and the succeeding sections.

The derivatives of the word villain, as villain-
ous, villainy, etc., though often written villanous,
viUany, etc., properly retain the t, like those of
other words similarly ending in ain * as, moun-
tainous, from mountain; captaincy, from cap-
tain.

The words connection, defection, inflection, and
' reflection follow the spelhng of the words con-
nect, deflect, inflect, and reflect, though often
written, especially in England, connexion, deflex-
ion, inflexion, and reflexion.

The word woe, though often written without
the final e, should retain it, like most other nouns
of one syllable and of similar form : as, doe, foe,
hoe, foe, and the like. Monosyllables other than
nouns, and words of more than one syllable, hav-
ing a similar termination, omit the e; as, do, go,
nOf so, canto, mottOt potato.

The words d^ente, expense, offense, and pre^
tense are properly written thus, thougli often
spelled with e instead of s, for tlie s belongs to
the words from which they are derived, and ia
also used in all their derivatives.

The words drought and height were formerly
written drouth and hight, and are still very often
thus written in America.

The verb practice is thus written like the noun,
in preference to the form practise, though the
latter spelling is used by many writers, especially
in England. The difference in spelling l^tween
the noun and the verb is properly observed, in
words of this kind, only in sucli as are accented
on the last syllable, as device, devise.

Derivatives of the Greek ttpa (»eat, base, side ;
pronounced hed'ra), as polyhedron, tetrahedron,
octahedral, and the like, are properly thus writ-
ten with h before the e of the tei-miuatioii, but
are sometimes written polyedron, tetraedroit, oc-
taedral, etc., without the A.

§ 28. There is a class of words beginning with
en or in, as enclose or inclose, enquire or iti quire,
ensure or insure, and the like, many of which
take either form of the prefix indifferently. Tliey
are chiefly derived from the Latin, either di-
rectly or through the French, the prefix in be>
longing to the former languase, and en to the
latter. In some of these words, en is to be pre-
ferred; in others, in; in many of them, either
may be used indifferently.

§ 29. There is a class of words ending in er,
some of which are written by many authors with
the termination re; as, center, meter, theater,
etc., which are often written centre, metre, the-
atre, etc. Acre, chancre, lucre, nacre, massacre,
and ogre, retain the termination re, in order to
preserve the hard sound of the c and g.

§ 30. There are two classes of chemical words
ending respectively, as more commonly written,
hi ide and ine, in regard to which usage has been
variable. Most of them were formerly written
without the final e ; but it is now the almost uni-
versal practice to retain it ; as, bromide, iodide,
chlorine, fluorine, etc. The word tannin is al-
ways written without the final e. Oxide is now
generally written with the termination ide,
though formerly by many written oxyd, from the
supposition that the y of the last syllable repre-
sented the V of the Greek h^v%, from which the
word is derived ; whereas the last syllable is sim-
ply the same as the termination of the words
bromide, sidphide, and the like.

§ 31. There is a class of words ending, as pro-
nounced, with the sound of long i, followed by z,
some of which are differently written, by difl'er-
ent authors, with either ise or ize to represent this
sound : as, cinticize or criticise ; patronize or pa-
tronise. These words are mostly verbs, and are
chiefly derived from Greek words ending in i^u,
or from French words ending in iser or ise.
Those formed from Greek words have the termi-
nation ize : as, anathematize, characterize, drama-
tize, tantalize. The words catechise and exorcise
are exceptions. Those formed in an analogous
manner from English words are likewise written

BULBS FOR SPELLING CERTAIN CLASSES OF WORDS.

with ize: tMf aJbumenize^ memorize^ tensUize.
Those derived from the French verb prendre (par-
ticiple pris or prise) end in ise : as, apprise, com-
priMf emprise, enterprise, surprise. Of those
formed from French words other than prendre,
or which have corresponding forms in the French,
a majority end itk ize, though in respect to some
of them usage is variable : as, civilize, satirize.
The following are the principal English verbs end-
ing in ise : namely, advertise, advise, affranchise,
apprise, catechise, chastise, circumcise, comprise,
compromise, criticise, demise, despise, devise,
disenfranchise, disfranchise, disguise, divertise,
emprise, enfranchise, enterprise, exercise, exor-
cise, franchise, manumise, misprise, premise,
reprise, revise, supervise, surmise, surprise. It
may be remarked that most of those in respect
to which usage varies are more frequently writ-
ten in England with the termination ise, and in
the United States with the termination ize.

$ 32. The words mold and molt, and th^ir
oompounda and derivatives, are written in this

DiGtionary witli o instead of ou, in analogy with
the words bold, bolt, coif, gold, etc., from which
the tt has been dropped. Many authors, however,
write these worda mould and moult, and their de-
rivatives in like manner.

§ 33. Thera is a numerous class of words al-
most imiversally written, in the United States,
with the termination or, many of which are writ-
ten, in England, with the termination our: as,
candor, honor, labor, vigor, TCngliah usage,
however, is not uniform with respect to these
words, many being written with or in English
books.

§ 34. There is a small class of words ending
with the syllabie ped (from Lat. pes, pedis, foot),
the termination of some of which waa formerly,
and is still frequently, written pede : as, bipea,
centiped, milliped, quadruped, soliped, etc. The
words biped and quadruped are umversally writ-
ten without the final e, and the others, according
to the best usage, should be written in the same
manner.
