This item is printed on demand. Paperback. 78 pages. Dimensions: 9.4in. x 7.2in. x 0.2in.This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. Excerpt: . . . VOCABULARY. A. This letter has been used to serve many irregular purposes; as an awkward contraction of the verb have: as a still more awkward representative of the pronoun he; as a subsdtute for the several prepositions at, to, in, into, on, and of; as an useless initial augment of a word; and as a ridiculous appendage to a verse. Of all these anomalies, an account sufficiently particular is given in Todds Edition of Johnsons Dictionary. For the origin of some of them it seems easy to account from careless and confused pronunciation; for that of the others, in great measure, if not entirely, from analogy with the French preposition A. At any rate, we are not particularly interested about them here We use them, indeed; but they are by no means peculiarly our own, nor used more by us than by others. If any one of them seem worth notice, it will be found in its place. ABOUT, prep, near to. This sense is, of course, in the Dictt. ; but there is a particular East Anglian mode of using the word in conjunction with a pronoun, which is not common. Ex. Is the horse worth forty pounds Nothing about it. Is he a mile off No, nor about it. About forty pounds, and about a mile, are phrases common enough; but in those now quoted, the prep, near would certainly be used. A-DAYS, prep, a shorter form of the general phrase now-a-days. Ex. Corn sells cheap a-days. I seldom see Mr. Smith a-days. O. E. ADDLE, AIDLE, v. 1. To grow, to thrive. Ex. That crop addles. 2. To earn, to profit gradually. Ex. I have at last addled up a little money. A. s. eadlian, proemium. R. S. E. C. T. W. C. AFEARD, adj. afraid. In Chaucers time there was certainly some difference between the significations of these two words, though with us they are perfectly. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN.
