Noah Webster's 1828 American Dictionary
|
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. |

The science or doctrine of dealing with

conduct, or determining the lawfulness or unlawfulness of what a
man may do by rules and principles drawn from the Scriptures,
from the laws of society or the church, or from equity and
natural reason; the application of general moral rules to
particular cases.
The consideration of these nice and puzzling
question in the science of ethics has given rise, in modern
times, to a particular department of it, distinguished by the
title of casuistry. Casuistry in the science of cases (i.e.,
oblique deflections from the general rule). Sophistical, equivocal, or false
reasoning or teaching in regard to duties, obligations, and
morals.
