Excerpt from Johnson's English Dictionary, as Improved by Todd and Abridged by Chalmers: With Walker's Pronouncing Dictionary Combined; To Which Is Added, Walker's Key to the Classical Pronunciation of Greek, Latin and Scripture Proper Names
The flppendiai contains all the words newly added by Mr. Todd in his second edition a number Of words, that are found in the body of the Dictionary, here repeated for the sake of some correction or remark; a few words of unquestionable authority, which were omitted by Dr. Johnson and Mr. Todd and some words which are more or less used in America. The Editor, however, has not undertaken to supply all the authorized English words, which are omitted, hor to remark upon all that are imperfectly exhibited, in the Dictionary; but he has noticed such only as readily occurred to him, without any extended research. There are some words, which have grown out of our peculiar institutions and local circumstances, and some new uses of authorized English words, which are not to be condemned but there are other new words, which have sprung up among us, and new applications of Old ones, which deserve no countenance: The number of 'americanisms, however, which are properly SO called, is not great. Some words, which have been so considered, are to' be found in the writings Of Englishmen, as well as Americans; and many others had their origin in Great Britain, and are still known in some parts Of that country as provincialisms, though they, are not Often found in books.
