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. |
DISCONTINUANCE, n. [See Discontinue.]
The act of discontinuing, or the state of
being discontinued; want of continued connection or continuity;
breaking off; cessation; interruption; as, a discontinuance of
conversation or intercourse; discontinuance of a highway or of
travel.
A
breaking off or interruption of an estate, which happened when an
alienation was made by a tenant in tail, or other tenant, seized in
right of another, of a larger estate than the tenant was entitled to,
whereby the party ousted or injured was driven to his real action,
and could not enter. This effect of such alienation is now obviated
by statute in both England and the United States.
