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

LOB'STER, n.
Any large macrurous crustacean used as food,
esp. those of the genus Homarus; as the American lobster
(H. Americanus), and the European lobster (H.
vulgaris). The Norwegian lobster (Nephrops Norvegicus) is
similar in form. All these have a pair of large unequal claws. The
spiny lobsters of more southern waters, belonging to
Palinurus, Panulirus, and allied genera, have no large
claws. The fresh-water crayfishes are sometimes called
lobsters.
Lobster caterpillar (Zoöl.), the caterpillar of a European bombycid moth (Stauropus fagi); -- so called from its form. Lobster louse (Zoöl.), a copepod crustacean (Nicothoë astaci) parasitic on the gills of the European lobster. As a term of
opprobrium or contempt: A gullible, awkward, bungling, or undesirable
person.
