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. |
IM'PETUS, n. [L. supra.] Force of motion; the force with which any body is driven or impelled.
A property possessed by a moving body in
virtue of its weight and its motion; the force with which any body is
driven or impelled; momentum.
* Momentum is the technical term, impetus its popular equivalent, yet differing from it as applied commonly to bodies moving or moved suddenly or violently, and indicating the origin and intensity of the motion, rather than its quantity or effectiveness. Fig.: Impulse; incentive; vigor;
force.
Buckle. The altitude through which a
heavy body must fall to acquire a velocity equal to that with which a
ball is discharged from a piece.
