THE MAKING OF SPURIOUS AMERI-
CANISMS,

The manufacture of spurious American
isms has never ceased to continue. In
words assumed without reason to be dis
tin tive of this country, our earliest vo-
cabularios ahounded Nor have they been
absent from the latest, though with the
progress of time and the advance Of
knowledge they have been steadily be-
coming fewer. Nevertheless, old examples
are liable to turn up at any time in I'M
expected quarters, and new ones are oc-
casionally added to the list. In the latest
and sanest of dictionaries of American
isms. author in the sense of editor"
IS enrolled. 1T is no doubt American and
obsolete" says the compiler Obsolete it
assuredly is. But what authority is there
for asserting it to he an Americanism,
it NAV bc asked. The reason given is
that in this sense it is not found in tho
New Historical English Dictionary. Such
an extraordinary Inference is a curiously
belated survival of faith In tine omiscieacc
| of photographers which once prevailed
widely. As a matter of fact, author mean
! ing editor was for a long time a fully
authorized word in English. 1t IS no mere
| an AmcriCanism than Is editor itself The
| latter in its present most customary sense
| Is of comparatively late Introduction into
the language Editors of periodical publ
cations of all sorts are now born with us
almost every day; but II took more than
a century to evolve the term specifically
denoting them one has only to turr
| over the files Of eighteenth-century news
| papers and magazines to become fully
aware that the mysterious being who
| presided over these publications was
then regularly designated as the au
