No Admittanoe for Word..

Prof. Z. r. Lounsbury, in Harper's
Magazine: Always during the history
OF every tongue men have insisted ON
maintaining a r1rm stand against the
entrance into it of new expressions of
any sort: In SO doing they have hon
estiy believed that they were actuated
not by q senseless but by a holy zeal
for purity of speech. The strongest
sort of opposition has been f~reouent-
~ offered to the recognition of words
which 1t would now seem to us we
could hardly do without. The feeling
existed in high places. In 1773 the
fourth edition of Johnson's dictionary
was published. 1t was the last edition
which appeared under his supervision.
Boswell tells us that he in vain urged
johnson to Insert civilization. This
was just beginning to take the place Gf
ciy1ltty in the sense of being opposed to
barbarisn1. He refused to acknowledge
the intruder. Humiliating he admitted
to be a word frequently used, but ne
did not know it to be legitimate Eng
lish-whatever that means. So. though
he inserted the noun humiliation. the
corresponding verb and ad1ectiyes are
not found in his final revised edition.
Not long after this time development
appeared In the title of a book. It's
author was sternly Informed by one Of
his reviewers that there was no such
word in the language. William Taylor
of Norwich, somewhat renowned for
the peculiar words he used in his
writing sent an article to The MONTH
