Noah Webster's 1828 American Dictionary
|
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. |

An evergreen tree (Taxus
baccata) of Europe, allied to the pines, but having a peculiar
berrylike fruit instead of a cone. It frequently grows in British
churchyards.
The wood of the yew. It is light red in
color, compact, fine-grained, and very elastic. It is preferred to all
other kinds of wood for bows and whipstocks, the best for these
purposes coming from Spain.
* The American yew (Taxus baccata, var. Canadensis) is a low and straggling or prostrate bush, never forming an erect trunk. The California yew (Taxus brevifolia) is a good-sized tree, and its wood is used for bows, spear handles, paddles, and other similar implements. Another yew is found in Florida, and there are species in Japan and the Himalayas. A bow for shooting, made of the
yew.
Of or pertaining
to yew trees; made of the wood of a yew tree; as, a yew
whipstock.
