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. |
SCE'NERY, n. The appearance of a place, or of the various objects presented to view; or the various objects themselves as seen together. Thus we may say, the scenery of the landscape presented to the view from mount Holyoke, in Hampshire county, Massachusetts, is highly picturesque, and exceeded only by the scenery of Boston and its vicinity, as seen from the State house.
Assemblage of scenes; the paintings and hangings representing the
scenes of a play; the disposition and arrangement of the scenes in
which the action of a play, poem, etc., is laid; representation of
place of action or occurence.
Sum of scenes or views; general aspect, as
regards variety and beauty or the reverse, in a landscape; combination
of natural views, as woods, hills, etc.
Never need an American look beyond his own country for the sublime and beautiful of natural scenery. W. Irving. | ||||||||
