·EXTRACTS FROil! THE PREFACES TO THE PRECEDING EDITIONS. THE following little volume was originally compiled for the use of a young female .relative, and is now published with the hope of being gemirally useful; more especially to young ladies, whose mode of education precludes them from an acquaintance with Greek, and consequently, to whom the etymological knowledge in Johnson's Dictionary is inaccessible, - that is, so illr as it relates to the Greek language, whence our own has derived almost all its scientific words: the English letters have therefore been employed instead of the Greek characters. The thought of arranging the words !mder distinct heads, as well as putting them into alphabetical order, originated from perusing the observations which Locke makes on the association of
viii EXTRACTS :;"ROM THE PREFACES ideas, and from having frequently remarked that terms of science are much more readily retained in the memory when so arranged, than when they are arranged simply in an alphabetiCal order. vVhen several words are deri:,ed from the same root, such as mathe-' matics, sub., mathematical, ael):, mathematically, adv., mathematician, s;tb., generally, only one of them is inserted, and the readers are left either to form the rest themselves, or to consult their dictionary, to which this vocabulary is simply an appendage. Many words, inserted in this book, arc not of classical authority, though so frequently employed by modern writers as to have found their way into several of our dictionaries. It is to be observed, that names and titles of bool,s, engines, instruments, &c., are arbitrary, and the authors and inventors make no scruple of coining new words when there are no old ones which they consider p()rfectly expressive.* '$ The words l1. Paneurnatlda" and " Paitlopldlean" will serve as examples. " PANEUMATIlI.\. or a New l\Ietho,1 of Knowledge, capable of universal application in Literature and the Sciences." - The term Pan-eu-mathia is formed of
