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

P is the sixteenth letter of the English Alphabet, and a labial articulation formed by a close compression of the anterior part of the lips, as in ep. It is convertible into b and f, sometimes into v.
This letter is found int he oriental languages, from which it was received into the Greek and Latin; except however the Arabic, which has not this letter, and the Arabians cannot easily pronounce it. In some words which we have borrowed from the Greek, p is mute, as in psalm, ptisan; but is not silent in English words, unless it may be in receipt, and a few irregular words. P aspirated or followed by h, represents the Greek, which answers to the English f, as in philosophy.
the sixteenth letter of the English
alphabet, is a nonvocal consonant whose form and value come from the
Latin, into which language the letter was brought, through the ancient
Greek, from the Phœnician, its probable origin being Egyptian.
Etymologically P is most closely related to b, f, and
v; as hobble, hopple; father,
paternal; recipient, receive. See B,
F, and M.
