~ -SoAn w EbS4ER, ESQs =
I am one of thole who approve of your
plan of National Dictionary, or ffandsrd
Of American Englifh. fyou have pro-
cecded 70 far, rsquest you Will favor the
public with an explanation Of the word
geutlemau, it thould at prelent be under
food inlhis country. The appellation has
become 70 common, that one might readi.,
~ fuppoie it was fometimes intended BY
way of ridicale, or at leaa made uie of
withcut an appropriate fgnifcation.
The term isno doubt often uied by
way Of courte{y or compliment, but as its
meaning is fomewhat ambiguous, query,
whether it may or may not be properly
applied to perfon Of an improvez mind,
who has been taught and practices the eta
hliihed rules of good breeding, and is up
right in his dealings; without taking into
view the circumstances Of fortune, family,
or employment
I am inclined to think the COMMON ac-
ccptation Of the word fr,eu4@ip, is alfo
very vague and uncertain; and with 10
know if the following may be conGdered
as its proper fenfe and import. Il is be-
lieyed that real fiiendihip is, where mu-
tual effeem and attachment fubGes be-
tween two perfons, arifng from an opini-
on entertained by each that the other is
poReaed with fuch good qualities, that he
can lately trua him with all his intereffs
and concerns, with entire confidence.
IF this be the true meaning of the word,
friendfhip may then be conGdered as exit
ing in fentin,ent and luch good opinion
will produce not only eReem and conf.
dence but ats of diGntereaed benifcence.
1t may however be a queRion, whether
reciprocal friendAlip is not very uncom-
mon where there is not fometi1lng Ike 4
parity in regard to fortune. as well as ie-
yeral other circumstances and if tn ere are
not more of its pIeafures enjoyed by peoa
pie in the middle ranks Of life.
