In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed... No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people. Preface to 1828 Dictionary

1828 Definition
C, the third letter in the English alphabet, and the second articulation or consonant, is a palatal, nearly corresponding in sound with the Greek x, kappa, and with the Hebrew, caph. It bears a middle place in pronunciation, between the aspirate, and the palatal. It is a Roman character, borrowed from the Gr.x, or from the oriental, which was used in languages written from right to left, and when inverted and the corners rounded, becomes C. In the old Etruscan, it was written with the corners rounded, but not inverted; in Arcadian, C, as now written. That its sound in Latin was the same, or nearly the same, as that of kappa, may be known from the fact, that the Greeks, while the Latin was a living language, wrote kappa for the Roman C. Perhaps the same character may be the basis of the Arabic.

C is the third
letter of the English alphabet. It is from the Latin letter C,
which in old Latin represented the sounds of k, and
g (in go); its original value being the latter. In
Anglo-Saxon words, or Old English before the Norman Conquest, it
always has the sound of k. The Latin C was the same letter
as the Greek ***GAMMA], ***gamma], and came from the Greek alphabet.
The Greeks got it from the Phœnicians. The English name of
C is from the Latin name ce, and was derived, probably,
through the French. Etymologically C is related to g,
h, k, q, s (and other sibilant
sounds). Examples of these relations are in L. acutus, E.
acute, ague; E. acrid, eager,
vinegar; L. cornu, E. horn; E. cat,
kitten; E. coy, quiet; L.
circare, OF. cerchier, E.
search.
See Guide to Pronunciation, §§ 221-228. The
keynote of the normal or "natural" scale, which has neither flats
nor sharps in its signature; also, the third note of the relative
minor scale of the same.
As a numeral, C stands for Latin
centum or 100, CC for 200, etc.
C spring, a spring in the form of the letter C. | ||||||||
Noah Says...
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.
