PREFACE. 


The  Household  Dictionary  of  Dr.  Worcester,  based  upon  the 
well-known  Academic  Dictionary  of  the  distinguished  author,  will  be 
found  to  contain  in  its  extensive  vocabulary  some  fifty  thousand  words 
succinctly  defined,  the  pronunciation  of  which  is  indicated  with  that 
scrupulous  accuracy  for  which  Dr.  Worcester's  series  of  books  have 
ever  been  noted.  An  important  feature  has  been  given  to  the  work 
by  bringing  into  view  the  principal  synonymes  of  the  language, — a  fea- 
ture which  it  is  believed  will  be  of  essential  service  to  the  reader  in 
enabling  him  to  understand  the  meaning  and  proper  use  of  words.  It 
has  been  rendered  as  complete  as  its  limits  would  permit,  with  respect 
to  all  well-authorized  English  words,  and  also  to  all  other  words 
concerning  which  an  English  reader  most  needs  information  as  to  their 
orthography,  pronunciation,  or  meaning.  Thus,  it  comprises,  in  ad- 
dition to  the  common  words  of  the  language,  numerous  technical  terms 
in  the  various  arts  and  sciences,  some  words  which  are  obsolete  or 
antiquated  but  are  found  in  books  that  are  much  read,  some  which  are 
local  or  provincial,  some  which  are  peculiar  to  the  United  States,  and 
a  large  number  of  such  words  and  phrases  from  foreign  languages 
as  are  often  met  with  in  English  books. 

The  definitions  are  necessarily  concise,  but  they  will  be  found  com- 
prehensive and  exact,  and,  in  many  instances,  technical,  obsolete,  pro- 
vincial, and  American  uses  of  words  are  pointed  out  and  explained. 

In  adjusting  the  orthography  of  this  Dictionary,  attention  has  been 
paid  to  usage,  etymology,  and  analogy ;  and  the  matter  of  pronuncia- 
tion has  been  made  a  special  object.  A  peculiar  feature  consists  in 
the  exhibition  of  authorities  respecting  words  of  various,  doubtful, 
or  disputed  pronunciation ;  and  the  work  presents,  in  relation  to  this 
class  of  words,  the  modes  in  which  they  are  pronounced  by  all  the  most 
eminent  English  orthoepists.  With  regard  to  the  pronunciation  of  many 
of  the  words  about  which  orthoepists  differ,  the  mode  which,  according 
to  the  judgment  of  the  author,  is  to  be  preferred  has  been  indicated, 
and  other  modes  are  given  enclosed  within  brackets  and  supported  by 
their  proper  authority.

Syn.  —  The  forms  both  of  wit  and  humor  are  so 
various,  that  it  is  difficult  to  include  them  within 
the  circle  of  a  precise  definition.  Ur.  Trusler 
says  that  "  wit  relates  to  the  matter,  humor  to  the 
manner ;  that  our  old  comedies  abounded  with 
tci^  and  our  old  actors  with  Ajfmor."  —  "Wit," 
says  Dr.  Campbell,  "is  that  which  excites  agree- 
able surprise  in  the  mind,  by  the  strange  assem- 
blage of  related  images  presented  to  it."  Humor 
tends  to  excite  laughter  or  mirth  by  ludicrous 
images  and  representations  of  the  matters  treated 
of.  Humor  is  less  poignant  and  brilliant,  and 
much  less  likely  to  be  offensive,  than  wit ,  and  it 
is  always  agreeable.  "  In  conversation,"  says 
Sir  William  Temple,  "  humor  is  more  than  wit . 
easiness,  more  than  knowledge."

SIGNIFICATION 


PRINCIPAL  CHRISTIAN  NAMES  OF  MEN  AND  WOMEN ; 

WITH  AN  INDICATION  OF  THE  LANGUAGES  FROM  WHICH  THEY  ARE  DERIVED. 


REMARKS. 


A  GREAT  part  of  the  Christian  Names,  now  in 
common  use,  are  Scripture  Names,  the  most  of 
which  are  from  the  Hebrew  language ;  a  good  many 
are  from  the  Teutonic  family  of  languages  ;  some 
are  from  the  Greek  and  Latin  languages,  and  the 
languages  derived  from  the  Latin  ;  but  the  etymol- 
ogy and  signification  of  a  considerable  number  of 
the  names  are  very  uncertain,  and  etymologists 
differ  much  in  tracing  their  origin  and  interpreting 
their  meaning. 

The  following  list  has  been  formed,  in  some  meas- 
ure, from  one  given  by  Ainsworth  in  his  Latin  Dic- 
tionary ;  but  many  of  the  names  have  been  derived 
from  other  sources ;  and  many  of  the  significations 
assigned  by  Ainsworth  have  been  rejected,  as 
founded  on  false  or  improbable  etymologies. 

In  relation  to  the  etymology  of  names  borrowed 
from  the  Teutonic  family  of  languages,  use  has  been 
made  of  Wachter's  "  Glossarium  Germanicum," 
Adelung's  "  Wbrterbuch  der  Hochdeutschen  Mun- 
dart,"  Graff's  "  Althochdeutscher  Sprachschatz," 
and  Bosworth's  "  Dictionary  of  the  Anglo-Saxon 


Language."  Camden's  "  Remaines,"  Verstegan'i 
"  Restitution  of  Decayed  Intelligence  in  Antiqui- 
ties," and  Skinner's  "  Etymologicon  Linguae  Angli- 
cans," have  also  been  consulted  ;  and  valuable 
assistance  has  been  derived  from  Ingram's  edition 
of  the  "  Saxon  Chronicle." 

With  respect  to  the  signification  of  names  of  He- 
brew origin,  Gesenius  has  been  chiefly  relied  on  j 
though  Kitto's  "  CyclopEBdia  of  Biblical  Literature," 
and  Robinson's  "  Lexicon  of  the  Greek  Testament," 
have  also  been  used. 

In  relation  to  Italian  names,  the  copious  vocabu- 
lary of  Ferrari,  appended  to  Vol.  VII.  of  the  large 
Italian  Dictionary  published  at  Bologna  in  1826, 
has  been  found  very  serviceable. 

In  many  cases  of  doubtful  etymology,  the  author- 
ity which  has  been  followed  is  mentioned.  In 
others,  in  which  none  of  the  conjectures  proposed 
appeared  plausible,  the  meaning  is  simply  stated  as 
wicertain. 

The  abbreviation  Oer.  includes  Old  German,  aa 
well  as  the  modern  form  of  the  language.
