Lye 73 Defore the last review of the Common Prayer, the Litany was a distinct service by itself, amI used sometime after the morning prayer was o,'cr; at present it is made one office with the morning service, being ordered to be read after the third collect for grace, instead of the intercessional prayers in the daily service.

74 MAN M. MACIIINE, s. in general signifies any thing that serves to nugmcnt or to }"cgulate moving powers, or it is nny hody destined to prodnce motion, so as to save either time or force. The word comes from fL'fJXa.vi], mecllalle, a machine. In strictness, a r~,achinc is something which consists morc in art and invention than in the strength and solidity ofthe materials, for which reason it is thatthe inventors ofmachines arc called engineers. The word Machine is nearly synonymous with engine, a term altogether modern, and bestowed chiefly on contrivances for executing work, in which much ingenuity and mechanical skill arc manifest. Indeed, the term engine is limited, by careful writers, to machines of considerable magnitude, or of considerable art and contrivance. Thus we say with propriety, a steam engine, and a fire engine; a copying machine, and an electrical machine. l\facro-cosm, s. See KOS'IOS, p. 18. Mamma, s. Some etymologists derive this word from the Greek papa, mama, or papp.a, mamma: but it appears that" this word, like PAPA, is one of those of which it is needless to seek the etymology in any language, and which is formed by nature in the mouth even of infants. In all countries infants begin to speak by pronouncing the labial letters (viz. m, b, p, j), because they are the most easily pronounced; and the first sounds which we hear from them are, ma, pa, em, &c. " TJlese 'words, thus dictated by nature, have been adopted by fathers and mothers in all countries. Thus, for example, in the Hebrew we find em; in the Syriac and Arabic, ~ma;in the Chaldean, imma; in Latin and Italian, mamma; in Spanish, mama; in the Dutch, mcm; and in German, memme.~J Mano-meter, s.
