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

WIGWAM, n. An Indian cabin or hut, so called in America. It is sometimes written weekwam.
An Indian cabin or hut, usually of a conical form, and
made of a framework of poles covered with hides, bark, or mats; -- called
also tepee.
[Sometimes written also weekwam.]
Very spacious was the wigwam, * "The wigwam, or Indian house, of a circular or oval shape, was made of bark or mats laid over a framework of branches of trees stuck in the ground in such a manner as to converge at the top, where was a central aperture for the escape of smoke from the fire beneath. The better sort had also a lining of mats. For entrance and egress, two low openings were left on opposite sides, one or the other of which was closed with bark or mats, according to the direction of the wind." Palfrey. | ||||||||
