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. |
UNLUCK'Y, a.
Not
lucky; not successful; unfortunate; ill-fated; unhappy; as, an
unlucky man; an unlucky adventure; an unlucky throw of
dice; an unlucky game.
* This word is properly applied to incidents in which failure results from chance or fortuity, as in games of hazard, rather than from lack or feebleness of effort. Bringing bad luck; ill-omened;
inauspicious.
Haunt me not with that unlucky face. Dryden. Mischievous; as, an unlucky wag.
