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. |

1828 Definition
GRAN'ITE, n. In mineralogy, an aggregate stone or rock, composed of crystalline grains of quartz, feldspar and mica, or at least of two of these minerals, united without a cement, or confusedly crystallized. The grains very in size from that of a pin's head, to a mass of two or three feet; but usually the largest size is that of a nut. The color of granit is greatly diversified by the different colors and proportions of the component parts, and in general these stones are very hard.
1913 Definition
A crystalline, granular rock, consisting of
quartz, feldspar, and mica, and usually of a whitish, grayish, or
flesh-red color. It differs from gneiss in not having the mica in
planes, and therefore in being destitute of a schistose
structure.

has traces of a regular arrangement. -- Graphic
granite, granite consisting of quartz and feldspar
without mica, and having the quartz crystals so arranged in the
transverse section like oriental characters. --

Noah Says...
The brief exposition of the constitution of the United States, will unfold to young persons the principles of republican government; and it is the sincere desire of the writer that our citizens should early understand that the genuine source of correct republican principles is the Bible, particularly the New Testament or the Christian religion.
