TOO MANY TO COUNT.

How Many Words are There in the
English Language?
An interesting question suggested by an
ancient waif of book is the number of
English words now existing, says a writer
in Chambers Journal. Considerable diff
ference of opinion exists on this point. Geo.
P. Marsh, an American author of repute, in
his Lectures on the English Language, y
estimates that the number lin 1861 'proba-
bly, does not fall short of 100.0 00." and large
additions, especially in art and science,
have come into use since that date Other
WI, tiers, however, come to different con-
cluson, and think that 40, 900 would include
the whole. 1t depends good deal on how
calculations are made. If all the subsidiary
-participles and the like-are to be
taken into account, it will swell the sum
total very considerably.
Taking the first three words that occur
at random, we find that from "demonstrate''
in one of our modern dictionaries, there are
thirteen derivatives; from the word
bright" there are twelve, aud from ode
ploren there are ten. There is also redun-
dance in other forms. In one of Todd's edi-
lions of DR.. johnson there are upward of
eighty words with the prefix ''alln-alI-
complying, all-divining, all-drowsy, and so
on-a very notable instance of dictionary

may be indefinitely increased. Probably if
we take leading words and all their deriva.
tlves, the number at the present time will
exceed Mr.. Marsh's estimate An approxi-
mate verifcation Of this may be found in
multiplying the number Of pages in apy
good modern dictionary by the average
number of words in page.
Shakspeare's works, 1T is believed, include
about $4,000 separate words, and Millions
about 5000; but from these figures we have
no criterion of the extent of the actual En-
glish vocabulary. 1t may be mentioned
mere that, while Cockeram has only about
1000 or 5000 words, there are in BaiIey,s
dictionary approximately about sc. 900, aid
IN Johnson's not more than that In some
OF the larger modern works, again. the
figures, as has been said, reach to upward of
100000. "a
