Excerpt from A Dictionary of the English Language, for the Use of Schools, and for General Reference: With the Principles of Pronunciation, Orthography, and Etymology, Fully Explained, and Practically Illustrated And what can be more unsatisfactory than the etymological information given in our English dictionaries Even in the voluminous and celebrated work of dr. Johnson, the amount of information on this important and interesting branch of lexicography, scarcely ever exceeds a Latin 01 French word, par parenthese. N ow, of what use is the meie indication of the root? To those who know any thing of the learned languages, such information is unnecessary; and to those who do not, it is useless, - unlesis, indeed, the primary meaning, and secondary applications of the term referred to, be fully and clearly explained. On this subject horne tooke has truly said It is a trifling etymology that barely refers us to some word in another language, either the same or similar, unless the meaning of the word, and cause of its imposition, can be discovered by such a reference.
