The English Vocabulary.

The ordinary English vocabulary
may be said to contain from 10000 to
10000 words, the Inter estimate being
large. Shakespeare, whose vocabulary
is larger than that of any other Eng
llsh poet, unless it be Browning, used
about $4,000 words, while Milton,
whose range was narrower, employed
only about half that number. The
common estimate of the average vo-
cabulary of educated people is from
5000 to 5000, but in this case the num-
Der Of words which are known, but not
used, is enormously increased. A well
read college graduate should be fa-
miliar with perhaps 100000 words,
while in the course of year he might
not use 5000 OF them in his writing or
conversation. Shorthand reporters find
about $500 word signs and contrac-
tons ample for representing the words
which are commonly used in public
speaking.
