In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed... No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people. Preface to 1828 Dictionary

1828 Definition
L, the twelfth letter of the English alphabet, is usually denominated a semi-vowel, or a liquid. It represents an imperfect articulation, formed by placing the tip of the tongue against the gum that incloses the roots of the upper teeth; but the sides of the tongue not being in close contact with the roof of the mouth, the breath of course not being entirely intercepted, this articulation is attended with an imperfect sound. The shape of the letter is evidently borrowed from that of the oriental lamed, or lomad, nearly coinciding with the Samaritan 2.
1913 Definition
L is the twelfth
letter of the English alphabet, and a vocal consonant. It is usually
called a semivowel or liquid. Its form and value are
from the Greek, through the Latin, the form of the Greek letter being
from the Phœnician, and the ultimate origin prob. Egyptian.
Etymologically, it is most closely related to r and u;
as in pilgrim, peregrine, couch (fr.
collocare), aubura (fr. LL. alburnus).
At the end of monosyllables containing a single vowel, it is
often doubled, as in fall, full, bell; but not
after digraphs, as in foul, fool, prowl,
growl, foal. In English words, the terminating syllable
le is unaccented, the e is silent, and l is
preceded by a voice glide, as in able, eagle,
pronounced As a numeral, L stands for fifty in the
English, as in the Latin language.
For 50 the Romans used the Chalcidian chi, (?), which assumed the less difficult lapidary type, (?), and was then easily assimilated to L. I. Taylor (The Alphabet). An extension at right angles to the length of a main building,
giving to the ground plan a form resembling the letter L; sometimes
less properly applied to a narrower, or lower, extension in the
direction of the length of the main building; a wing.
[Written
also ell.] A short right-angled pipe
fitting, used in connecting two pipes at right angles.
[Written
also ell.] Having the
general shape of the (capital) letter
Elevated; -- a symbol for el. as an
abbreviation of elevated in elevated road or
railroad.
