never did. Well remember that unique

Of Entick's Dictionary that l had to get BY
heart; sweet sentimental task; and not,
as may be iancied, the spelling only, but
the horid attempts of this depraved Entick
to explain the supposed meaning of words
that probably had none; many Of these, it
is my belief, Eniick himself forged. Among
the strange, grim looking words, to whose

spelling Of a word, by the bes, of nine
rounds, inevitably left the impression that
chance governed all; and this accounts for
the extreme capricousness of Lander.
1t is a work for separate dictionary in

in spelling through which our English blood,
either at home or in America, has thrown
