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
HYPOTH'ESIS, n. [L. from Gr. a supposition; to suppose.]
1913 Definition
A supposition;
a proposition or principle which is supposed or taken for granted, in
order to draw a conclusion or inference for proof of the point in
question; something not proved, but assumed for the purpose of
argument, or to account for a fact or an occurrence; as, the
hypothesis that head winds detain an overdue
steamer.
An hypothesis being a mere supposition, there are no other limits to hypotheses than those of the human imagination. J. S. Mill. A tentative
theory or supposition provisionally adopted to explain certain facts,
and to guide in the investigation of others; hence, frequently called
a working hypothesis.
Syn. -- Supposition; assumption. See Theory. Nebular hypothesis. See under Nebular. | ||||||||
The first vision, Vision::Reprint, has an intent to make a modern printing of the first dictionary of the American language available to the public for under $25. To accomplish this, several tasks are being considered. The first task, Task::Access, involves the digitizing of the original 1828 dictionary. The dictionary is available in microfilm (American Culture Series, Reel 335.6-336.1, Michigan University Microfilms) at many universities. To digitize the microfilm as a batch process requires a special scanner.
