Nouns are the names of persons, animals, places or things.
They are of two kinds generally, Proper and Common. As our purpose would not be properly gained by following barely this division, I shall treat of them under three heads. This is the name of anything, which is either not known, or is forgotten. Nouns in which the letters, s, d, t, or other letters are merely added or dropped. Nouns in which there is an entire change, or half of the words only used.
