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. |
JU'JUBE, n. [L. zizyphum.] The name of a plant and of its fruit, which is pulpy and resembles a small plum. The plant is arranged under the genus Rhamnus. The fruit was formerly used in pectoral decoctions, but it is now in little reputation.
The sweet and edible drupes (fruits) of
several Mediterranean and African species of small trees, of the
genus Zizyphus, especially the Z. jujuba, Z.
vulgaris, Z. mucronata, and Z. Lotus. The last
named is thought to have furnished the lotus of the ancient Libyan
Lotophagi, or lotus eaters.
Jujube paste, the dried or inspissated jelly of the jujube; also, a confection made of gum arabic sweetened. A lozenge made of
or in imitation of, or flavored with, the jujube fruit.
