It is not only important, but, in a degree necessary, that the people of this country, should have an American Dictionary of the English language; for, although the body of the language is the same as in England, and it is desirable to perpetuate that sameness, yet some differences must exist. Language is the expression of ideas; and if the people of one country cannot preserve an identity of ideas, they cannot retain an identity of language. |
AMPHIB'IOUS, a. [See Amphibial.]
Having the ability to live both on land and in water, as frogs,
crocodiles, beavers, and some plants.

both land and water.
The amphibious character of the Greeks was already
determined: they were to be lords of land and sea. Of a mixed nature; partaking of two
natures.
Not in free and common socage, but in this amphibious
subordinate class of villein socage. | ||||||||
