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

1913 Definition
Any one of
numerous species of arachnids comprising the order Araneina. Spiders
have the mandibles converted into poison fangs, or falcers. The
abdomen is large and not segmented, with two or three pairs of
spinnerets near the end, by means of which they spin threads of silk
to form cocoons, or nests, to protect their eggs and young. Many
species spin also complex webs to entrap the insects upon which they
prey. The eyes are usually eight in number (rarely six), and are
situated on the back of the cephalothorax. See Illust. under
Araneina.
* Spiders are divided into two principal groups: the Dipneumona, having two lungs: and the Tetrapneumona, having four lungs. See Mygale. The former group includes several tribes; as, the jumping spiders (see Saltigradæ), the wolf spiders, or Citigradæ (see under Wolf), the crab spiders, or Laterigradæ (see under Crab), the garden, or geometric, spiders, or Orbitellæ (see under Geometrical, and Garden), and others.
