The author of the American Dictionary of the English Language has been prevented, by the state of his health, from attending, in person, to its aoridgment into the octavo form. The work has, therefore, been committed, for this purpose, to Mr. J. E. Worcester, of Cambridge, Massadiuaetts, who has strictly adhered to the general principles laid down for his direction by the author. Cases of doubt, arising in the application of these principles, and such changes and modifications of the original as seemed desirable, in a work of this kind, intended for general use, have been referred, for decision, to Prof. Goodrich, of Yah College, who was requested by the author to act, on these subjects, as his representative. The Synopsis of words of disputed pronunciation has been prepared by the former of tht-se gentlemen ; Walker's " Key to the Classical Pronunciation of Greek, Latin and Scripture Proper Names" has passed under the revision of the latter. The following are some of the most important principles on which the Abridg- ment has been conducted. The vocabulary has been considerably enlarged. It here embraces all the words contained in the original work, and in Todd's edition of Johnson's Dictionary, to- gether with such additional ones as have appeared to the author to be worthy of isertion. The leading and most important etymologies, as given in the quarto edition, are aere retained. Thvi definitions remain unaltered, except by an occasional compression in their statement. All the significations of words, as exhibited in the larger work, are here retained ; and new ones have, in some instances, been added by the author's direction, as deficiencies, in this respect, have been discovered. The illustrations and authorities are generally omitted : In doubtful or contested cases, however, they are carefully retained. In cases of disputed orthography, the principle, adopted in the quarto edition, of introducing into the vocabulary the different forms in question, has been carried, in the Abridgment, to a considerably greater extent. In most instances of this kind, the old orthography takes the lead, and is immediately r<)llowed by the one pro- posed. The u and k, however, are entirely excluded from such words as honor and music, in accordance with the decided tendency of later usage, both in this country and in England. In derivative words, the final consonant of the primiiive is doubled only tvhen under the accent, in conformity with one of the best establi^lied principles of the language. On this subject, Walker observes, in his Rhyming Dic- tionary, "Dr. Lowth has justly remarked, that this error (that of doubling the final consonant when not under llie accent) frequently takes place in the words worship- ping, counselling, etc., which, having the accent on the first syllable, ought to be written ivorshiping, counseling, etc. An ignorance of this rule has led many to write bigotled for bigoted, and from this spelling has arisen a false pronunciation : but no letter seems to be more frequently doubled improperly than /. Why we should write libelling, revelling, and yet offering, suffering, reasoning, I am at a loss to determine ; and unless / can give a better plea than anv other letter in the alpha- bet for being doubled in this situation, I must, in the style of Lucian, in his trial of the letter t, declare for an expulsion." In this expulsion, it is believed, the public will finally concur, when they reflect, that this violation of analogv takes place in !t preface. the derivatives of comparatively few words, in opposition to multitudes of instances ill wliich tlic gciicnil rule prevails. As a miido to proiniuridtion, tlic words liavr; been carefully diviflcd into syllahlos. Tliis, in the great majority of iiistaiiccs, decides at once tin.' regular sound of tiie vowels in the respective syllables; and wherever the vowels depart from this regu- lar sound, a ^;o/«^y/ letter is used, (li!noting the sound whieh they receive in such cases. When under the accent, the regular long sound of the vowels is also indi- cated by a pointed letter. Thus, by means of pointed letters, the necessity of re- spelling the words, as a guide to pronunciation, is chiefly obviated. In cases of dis[)uted pronunciation, the diirerent forms are frequently given. But the Synopsis of Mr. Worcester exhibits these diversities much more fully, and gives, in one view, the decisions of the most apjiroved Pronouncing Dictionaries resjjecting about eight hundred primitive words, which, of course, decide the pronunciation of a great number of derivatives. Those who are interested in such inquiries are thus pre- sented, at a single glance, with nearly all the important points of diflerence in English orthoepy, and are enabled to decide for themselves, without the expense or trouble of examining the several authorities. In some instances, vowels have a fluctuating or intermediate sound ; and hence there is a great diversity among orthoepists in their manner of indicating the sound in question. Thus the sound of a, in monosyllables, in ass, ast, ask, ancc, ant, etc., is marked by some with the short sound of a in fat, and by otliers with its Italian sound, as in father. In this work, the latter is given as the prevailing sound both in this country and in England. JMitford, indeed, observes, in his work on Har- mony in Language, " No English voice fails to express, no English ear to perceive, the difference between the sound of a in jyassing and passive ; no colloquial familiar- ity or hurry can substitute the one sound for the other." The true sound, how- ever, is not so long as that of a m father, but corresponds more exactly to the final a in umbrella. Being thus short, it is often mistaken for the sound of a mfat. There is another intermediate sound of o, between its ordinary sound infall on the one hand, and in what on the other. This is heard in such words as salt, malt, etc. As tliis sound seems to incline, in most cases, towards the short rather than the long sound in question, it is here marked with the sound of a in what, though in many cases it is somewhat more protracted. The sound of o, in such words as lost, loft, toss, etc., is not so short as in lot ; but, like the o in nor, though slightly protracted, it should by no means be prolonged into the full sound of a in tall. In monosyllables ending m are, as hare, fare, the a is slightly modified by the subsequent r. Such words ought not to be pronounced as if spelled hay-er, fay-er, but hair, fair. Perry alone, of all the English orthoepists, has introduced a distinct character to indicate tliis pound ; but it is well ascertained that Walker and others coincided with Perry in their pronunciation, in accordance with the general pronunciation of England in this respect. These remarks apply likewise to the words parent, apparent, transparent, etc. In respect to accent, there are many words in which the primary and secon- dary accent are nearly equal in force ; such as complaisant, caravan, etc. In such cases, the accent is here thrown towards tlie beginning of the word, in accordance with the general tendency of our language. In laying this work before the public in its present form, no efforts have been spared to make it a complete defining and pronouncing dictionary for general use. About sixteen thousand words, and between thirty and forty thousand definitions are contained in this dictionary, which are not to be found in any similar work widiin the author's knowledge. These additions do not principally consist of obsolete terms, or uncommon and unimportant significations of words. In most cases, on the contrary, they are terms and significations which are in constant use in the various departments of science and the arts, in commerce, manufactures, merchandise, the hberal professions, and the ordinary concerns of hfe. They mark tlie progress which the English language has made during die seventy years which have elapsed PREFACE. T since the publication of Dr. Johnson's Dictionary. Within that period, a complete revolution has taken place in almost every braHch of physical science. New de- partments have been created, new principles developed, new modes of classification and description adopted. More rigid principles of definition have been gradually introduced into almost every department of human knowledge. In these respects, however, our dictionaries have remained almost stationary. The labors of our lexi- cographers, since the time of Johnson, have been chiefly confined to tlie btroduc- tion of new words into the vocabulary. In the work of which this is an abridgment, the words have all been defined anew. The explanations given are adapted to tlie idvanced state of knowledge at the present day, and to the changes which seventy V^ears have made in the use of terms. In the definitions of the leading and im- portant words, the signification is explained by enumerating the properties of tlie object in question, and not merely by a reference to other words of a similar im- port. In numerous instances, the distinctions between words which are apparently synonymous are traced with great minuteness; and it is hoped that the present work may supply, to a considerable extent, the place of a regular treatise on English synonyms. In a work of tliis kind, however, embracing, as it does, the whole circle of ideas embodied in the language of a nation, the utmost efforts of the lexicogra- pher are only an approximation towards the end in view. No single mind can enter, with perfect exactness, into all the raultiphed distinctions of thought and lan- guage, among a highly oivihzed people. The author of such a work may, therefore, confidently hope for the candor and indulgence of an enlightened public. As the author of the original work has intrusted the superintendence of the Abridgment to another person, he is not to be considered as responsible for any of the modifications already alluded to. The quarto edition will, of course, be con- sidered as presenting his exact views of tlie proper arrangement and exhibitior^ of words, in respect to their orthography and pronunciation. New Haven, June 1, 1829. PREFACE OF THE REVISED EDITION. TiiR author of the American Dictionary of the English Language, at the expiration of twelve years from its first publication, has given to the world a new edition of the work, containing his last corrections and improvements. These, in all important particulars, are now introduced into this Abridgment; chiefly in the form of an Appendix, which will be found at the end of the volume. Corrections, however, have in numerous instances been made in the body of the work itself; and where this could not be done without great inconvenience, they have been reserved for a distinct mention in this Preface. Thus the Abridgment as now presented to the public, is made to correspond, in every important respect, to the most improved form of the great work which it repre- sents. It will, therefore, in its future publication, bear the name of the Revised Edition. It will now be proper to state more distinctly, the alterations and improve- maents made by the venerable author, in his recent edition of the larger work. 1. About^/J!een thousand words have been added to the vocabulary, all of "which will be found in the Appendix to this work. 2. The definitions have been found in comparatively few cases to need cor- rection, except in one or two branches of science, where a change of nomen- clature has, to some extent, taken place. New senses of words, however, have fre(]ucntly been added ; and these, together with all material changes of defini- tion in important terms, will be found in the Appendix under the words them- selves, which are given anew. 3. In a class of words which have borne two forms, the author selects that which he deems most proper, and discards the other. Thus he prefers to write aftericai'd, baclaoard, foTward, onward, toicard, &c., without the s. He rejects amongst and lohilst, as obsolete ; and disannul, as an unauthorized and unne- cessary substitute for anmil. He prefers skeptic to sceptic ; gimlet to gitnblet ; Mnhammedism to Mohammedanism; chamomile to caT?iomile ; handcj-aft to handicraft ; handwork to handy work ; incase to encase ; enlist to inlist ; em- body to imbody. He also remarks, (what had escaped his notice in the first edition.) that wiseacre is the German iceissager, or foreteller ; and would more properly be spelled, xoise-sayer. On the principles laid down in the Preface to this Abridgment, most of these words were inserted under both their forms ; and still are suilered to stand because it was found dilficult to make the change. It will be understood, however, from this statement, which form the authoi approves. 4. The pronunciation of some disputed words has been changed, in conformity with general analogies, or more recent usage. These it is unnecesary to enu- merate, as they will be found in the body of the work. iVeic Haven, July 1, 1841. SYNOPSIS WORDS DIFFERENTLY PRONOUNCED BY DIFFERENT ORTHOEPISTS. ILLUSTRATIONS AND REMARKS. The oSject of this Synopsis is to exhibit, at one view, the manner in which words of doubtful, disputed, or various pronunciation, are pronounced by the most eminent English orthoepists. To these words a star is prefixed, as they occur in the Dictionary. The six Pronouncing Dictionaries which have been made use of in the Synopsis, namely, those of Sheridan, Walker, Perry, Jones, Fulton and Knight, and Jameson, were originally published in the order of time in which they are here exhibited, Sheridan's being the first, and Jameson's the last. The work of Perry, which has been made use of, is his " Synonymous, Etymological and Pronouncing English Dictionary," in royal 8vo., which was first published in 1805, and which differs, in the pronunciation of many words, from Perry's " Royal Standard English Dictionary," which appeared many years earlier. These orthoepists have each his own peculiar system of notation ; but as their sev eral systems could not be exhibited in the Synopsis without much inconvenience, and without causing great confusion and perplexity to the reader, their respective pronun- ciations have been represented by one method of notation. As these authors do not agree with each other with respect to the number and quality of the sounds of the English vowels, it is impossible, by the notation here used, to represent, in every instance, their precise difference. The cases of failure, however, are not important. Perry alone makes a distinction between the sound of long a as m fait , and of a as \n farf, which last is marked by him thus (a). Sheridan, Perry, Fulton and Knight, and Jameson, make no distinction between the short sound of o as in not, and the sound of as in nor ; and Sheridan makes none between the sound of short a as in fat, and of what IS called the Italian sound of a as in far and fat/irr. Fulton and Knight, on the contrary, not oaly make a distinction between the sound of a in fat and in Jar, but 3csignaiti an intermediate sound, as \n fa!:t, not so short as a in fat, nor so broad as a in far, li 13 jjtobable, however, that these orthoepists agreed in practice, in manj cases, m which ifiey differed in marking the pronunciation of words ; and that, in va- rious instances, ihey omitted to mark the discriminations in their dictionaries, which they were in the constant habit of making in reading and speaking. With regard to what is called the Italian sound of the letter a as in father, (in the Synopsis marked thus, a), there is a great diversity among the different orthoepists. Sheridan has not used it at all, and Walker and Jameson are more sparing in the use of it tlian Perry, Jones, and Fulton and Knight. Dr. Webster has made more use of it than any of them. But this difference of sound is not deemed to be so impor- tant as to render it expedient *o introduce tlie words which are affected by it into the Synopsis. With regard to the mode of representing the sound of the letter t, when it comes after the accent, and is followed by », as in the words natiirr and natural, there is a great diversity in the Pronouncing Dictionaries ; and this applies to a numerous class of words. It has boon tliouglit necessary to give only a few of these words, mereljr enough to show the different modes of different orthoepists. There is a class of words, in which the letter d is followed by one of the vowels e, 1^ or M, as arduous, hideous, obedience, 6i.c,, respecting which there is a diversity of pro* vui SYNOPSIS. nunciation. A part only of these have been inserted, but enough to exhibit this diversity, and indicate what other words must be ad'ectcd by it. Tliere arc some words (if three syllables, which we hear pronounced sometimes with the secondary accent on the first, and the primary accent on the third ; and sometimes with this order reversed ; as, ambusradr, coravai), and jitirlisan. Dr. Webster inclines frLiicrally to place the primary accent, in such words, on the first syllable ; but the (lilTcrciicc IS not thouf^ht to be important enough to render it advisable, in all cases, to c.xliibit them in the Synopsis. With regard to the ([iiantity of the last syllable of many words which end in ik and inr, i\s,jav(}iilc and vulpine, there is a great diversity in the Pronouncing Dictionaries ; and there are sonu; cases in which it is diflicult to say whether the long or the short sound is to be preferred, and respecting which every one may, without impropriety, be permitted to follow his own taste or the usage to which he is accustomed. Some of the words of this sort stand in the Dictionary without having the quantity of the last syllable marked ; and but few of them have been inserted in the Synopsis. A considerable number of words are inserted, with regard to which there is only one uniform pronunciation exhibited by Dr. Webster and the several authorities made use of It has, nevertheless, been thought advisable to insert them, because a different pro- nunciation from the one here given is countenanced by other authorities, or, to a greater or less extent, by usage ; and it may, therefore, be satisfactory to many to see the authorities exhibited. The words accessory, centrifugal, centripetal and repertory are examples of this class. Some words are inserted, of which the pronunciation is, at present, well set- tled ; as, for example, break, covetous, hydrophobia and the noun dejile. But with regard to these words, a different pronunciation from that which is now established formerly prevailed, and is supported by Sheridan. It will be seen that, in many instances, there are several words of the same class oi family, to which a star is prefixed in the Dictionary, though only one of them is found in the Synopsis. In these cases, the leading or primitive word is inserted, which gov- erns the rest of the same class ; as, for example, the pronunciation of acceptable an-t?-bl, AC-CESS', ak'sSs, ACCES-SO-RY, ak'sfssyr-r?, AD-DIT'A-MENT, 5d'd?-tj-m§iit, AD-JC'VANT, ad'ju-vSnt, AD-VER'TI8E-MENT. i A'E-RIE, a'r?, A-GAIN', (a-gen') ?-gSn', AGAINST', I (a-genst') ) " ' AG-GRAN'mZE-ME>'T. 2 AID'-DE-CAMP, AL'COVE, fl kove', AL'KA-LI, ai'kj-1?, AL-MOST', ill-most', AL'PINE, AI^TERN-ATE, v AMBUS-CADE, am-bys-kide', A-MEN', a-mSn', AN-A-MORPH'0-SIS. 3 ANCHOVY, Sn-choiv?, AN'CIENT, ane'3h?nt, A-NEM'O-SeOPE, 5n'?-m93-k5pe' XN'GEL, ane'j?!, AN-TI-FE'BRILE, &n-t?-fEibrIle, ANTl-NO-MY, an't?-n9-m?, AN'Tl-PODES, §in-tTp'9-dcz, AN-TIP'TO-SIS, an-tipt5s)3, AP-PULSE', appyla, A'l'KON, apryn, AU'UI-LINE, ak'vv?-llne, ARCII-I-PEL'A-GO, AR'DU-OUS, ar'du-us, AR'I E-TATE, ar'?-t-tate, AR'ITII-MAN-CY, 51-rltli'msin-ef, AROMA-TTZE, ar'?-mgi-llze, AT-TIIA IIENT, attr?-h6nt, A-VANT' GUARD, 9-vaunt'g5rd, A-VOVV'EE, »-vow'5, AZURE, azliyr.

ABA Vis t!)« fcrst letter of the alphabet in most of the known Ianfti>ages of the eartli : in the Ethiopic, however, it is tlie thirlcenlh, and in the Runic Ihe tenth. It is naturally the first letter, because it represents tlie first vocal sound naturally formed by thi human or(;aiis ; beiiiK the sound uttered with a mere opening of the mouth, without con- straint, and without any eiibrt to alter the natural posi- tion or configuration of the lips. A has, m English, three sounds ; the long or slender, as in place, fate ; the broad, as in wall, fall, which is short- ened in salt, what; and the open, as \n father, ^la-is, which is shortened in rather, fancu. Its primitive sound was probably aic. A is also an abbreviation of the Saxon an or ane, one, used before words beginning with a con- sonant ; as, a table, instead of an table, or one table. This is a modern change ; for, in Saxon, an was used before articulations as well as vowels ; a^, an tid, a time, an gear, a year. Sec An. This letter serves as a prefix to many English words ; as in asleep, awake, afoot, aground, ai^uing. A is also used for anno, or tnte ; as in anno Domini, the year of our Lord ; anno viundi, the year of the world ; ante mcriiitem, before noon ; and for or/.?. In artium ma- eister, master of arts.
