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. |
CRISIS, n. plu. [Gr. L., to separate, to determine, to decide. See Crime.]
The point of time when it is to be
decided whether any affair or course of action must go on, or be
modified or terminate; the decisive moment; the turning

This hour's the very crisis of your
fate. The very times of crisis for the fate of
the country. That change in a disease

outward manifestation, as by an eruption or sweat.
Till some safe crisis authorize their
