ALTHOUGH it may be needless to insist of the usefulness of Dictionaries in general, in regard that Words are introductory to the knowledge of Things, and no Arts or Sciences can be attain'd without a right under­ standing of their peculiar Terms: yet we think it expedient to give some account of our present undertaking: The main design of which, is to instruct Youth, and even adult Per­ sons, who are ignorant of the Learned Languages, in the Or­ thography, or true and most accurate manner of Spelling, Reading and Writing the genuine Words of their own Mo­ ther-tongue. For that purpose, we have taken care to make a Collection of all the most proper and significant English Words, that are now commonly us'd either in Speech, or in the familiar way of Writing Letters, &c; omitting at the same time, such as are obsolete, barbarous, foreign or pe­ culiar to the several Counties of England; as also many diffi­ cult, abstruse and uncouth Terms of Art, as altogether un­ necessary, nay even prejudicial to the endeavours of young Beginners, and unlearned Persons, and whereof seldom any use does occur: However, the most useful Terms in all Faculties are briefly explain'd; more especially those that relate to Divinity, Ecclesiastical Affairs, the Statute­ Laws of the Nation, History, Geography, Maritime Affairs, Plants, Gardening, Husbandry, Mechanicks; Handicrafts, Hunting, Fowling, Fishing, &c. The whole Work is digested into Alphabetical order, in which the different senses of Original Words are set down, and where 'tis needful they are also illustrated with a clear and short Exposition; so as the true meaning of their re­ spective Derivatives and Compounds may be easily discover'd. But to prevent the bulk of the Volume from swelling be­ yond its due Bounds, 'tis judg'd expedient only to leave out the common Terminations of Verbs and Adverbs, that may be form'd from their Primitives, with a very little applica­ tion; and of which an Example or two, may serve for the Reader's future Direction: Thus from the Verb To love, it is easy to deduce the Participles loved and loving, and from the latter, the Adverb lovingly, by adding to the Primitive, the usual Terminations of ed, ing, and ly. Again, the Parti­ ciples disposed and disposing are naturally deriv'd from the Verb to dispose; in like manner the Adverb deliciously, takes its rise from the Adjective delicious and so of the rest: More­ over, the Positive, or first degree of Comparison of all Ad­ jectives, that are regularly compar'd is only inserted; it be­ ing no difficult matter to add the proper Terminations of er and est; as rich, richer, richest; wise, wiser, wisest; noble, nobler, noblest; &c. These few Rules being duely observ'd, the Work will appear uninterrupted, and altogether confor­ mable to the usual method of Dictionaries. And it may be affirm'd, That no other Book of the same nature, is as yet extant; altho' there are two, which seem to come near our present Design; Viz. a little Tract first set forth by John Bulloker Doctor of Physick, unter the Ti­ tle of An English Expositor, and Mr. E. Cole's English Di­ ctionary. The former is defective in several respects, and yet abounds with difficult Terms, which are here purposely avoided, for the above-mention'd Reasons; neither is the lat­ ter free from the like unprofitable Redundancy. For it is observable, That Mr. Coles in his elaborate Work, has in­ serted several Words purely Latin, without any alteration, as Dimidietas for an half; Sufflamen, for a Trigger, and some hundreds only vary'd with an #English Termination, which are scarce ever us'd by any ancient or modern Wri­ ter, even in a Figurative, Philosophical, or Poetical Sense; such as Ægrimony and Ægroting for Sickness; Beneplacity, well pleasing; Egestuosity, extreme poverty; Elingued, tongue-tied; To egurgitate or disgorge; Graveolence, a rank or strong scent; Gynecocracy, a Greek Term denoting Femi­ nine Government; Horripilation, the standing up of the Hair for fear; Horrisonant, making a terrible noise; Ignifluous, flowing with Fire; Ignipotent, mighty by Fire; Impluvious, without Rain; Innubilous, without Clouds; Internecion, an universal slaughter; Largifical, bountiful; Nidifice, a Nest; Odoraminous, sweet-smelled; To offuscate, or darken; A Pronephew, from Pronepos, for a Nephew's Son; Receptitious, received; Scaturiginous, full of Springs; Scelestique, wicked; sevidical, speaking cruelly; To sufflaminate, or skatch a wheel; Sulcation, a making Furrows; Supplice, Punish­ ment; Susurration, a whispering, &c. Likewise many other Terms that are very uncouth and unintelligible; as Annex­ ation Dapocaginous, To elacerate, To eglomerate, Fritiniancy, Helaution, Umbiligality, Yvernagium, &c Besides an innume­ rable multitude of Greek, Latin, French, Italian, Spanish, Bri­ tish, Saxon, and old English Words that are often introduc'd even without changing their Original Terminations, and which are never used in English; with others that are pecu­ liar to distinct Counties of England, Scotland, and Ireland, and never us'd or understood any where else. So that a plain Country-man, in looking for a common English Word, amidst so vast a Wood of such as are above the reach of his Capa­ city, must needs lose the sight of it, and be extremely dis­ couraged, if not forc'd to give over the search. Neither are Mr. Cole's Expositions always proper, or per­ tinent, particularly, of the Word Revolution, which he only defines to be a turning round to the first point; but this Term, which simply denotes a whirling round, is us'd in Astronomy, for a certain Course of Planets, Time, &c. and in com­ mon acceptation, for some notable change, especially of Go­ vernment. Moreover, in the explaining English Words deriv'd from the Latin, he makes no scruple of producing such senses as are only peculiar to the Original; as will plain­ ly appear from an instance or two, viz. The Term Insolent is rightly Interpreted by our Author, Proud or Arrogant; but he also adds, contrary to common Custom, which last sense is never used in English; altho' Insolens in Latin admits of both significations: Again, he renders the Word Personate, to re­ present one's Person, also to sound aloud; whereas the latter sense only belongs to the Latin Verb Persono. We cannot for­ bear adding a third instance, which is very remarkable, viz. Villication, the Rule of Husbandry, under the Master of a Mannour; a strange Term, explain'd by a no less odd De­ finition: Indeed we meet with the Latin Word Villicatio in Columella & other Authors, which may well be interpreted, A Stewardship or Bailyship in the Country; also the Hiring or managing of a Farm. However, it must be acknowledged, That the Design of this Ingenious Author (from whose Merit it is not our intention in the least to derogate) is very different from ours; That apparently being to oblige the Publick, with as large a Collection as possibly could be made, of all sorts of hard and obsolete Words, both do­ mestick and foreign, as well Proper Names, as the Terms of all Arts and Sciences, Poetical Fictions, &c. Whereas, ours is intended only to explain such English Words as are genuine, and used by Persons of clear Judgement and good Style; leaving out all those foreign Terms, that in Mr. Cole's time were viciously introduc'd into our Language, by those who sought to approve themselves Learned rather by unintelligi­ ble Words than by proper Language. Lastly, it ought to be observ'd, That very few of the ge­ nuine and common significant Words of the English Tongue are contain'd in either of the two Dictionaries but now ci­ ted, or in any other particular Work of the like nature, hi­ therto published; as has been already hinted. To conclude, the usefulness of this Manual to all Persons not perfectly Masters of the English Tongue, and the assistance it gives to young Scholars, Tradesmen, Artificers and others, and particularly, the more ingenious Practitioners of the Fe­ male Sex; in attaining to the true manner of Spelling of such Words, as from time to time they have occasion to make use of, will, we hope procure it a favourable Rece­ ption. The Author does not expect a Recompence pro­ portioned to the great Trouble and Pains he has taken, but will have full satisfaction, if the Publick reap as much Be­ nefit by his Work, as he has bestow'd Labour in Compiling it.

Z O The Zodiack, an imagi­ nary Circle in the Hea­ ven, taking name from the Greek word Zoon, i. e. an animal, because 'tis adorned with twelve Signs or Images, most of which resemble liv­ ing creatures. It cros­ ses the Æquator in two points, viz. in the be­ ginning of Aries and Li­ bra, and the Ecliptick Line passes through the middle of it. The Sun goes about this Circle once every year, and the Moon once in a Month: The former ne­ ver swerves from the Ecliptick, but the Moon and the rest of the Pla­ nets wander up and down, for the space of eight degrees on each side; upon which ac­ count, the breadth of the Zodiack is supposed to take up 16 degrees. See the Signs of the Zo­ diack. Zones, (i. e. Girdles) are certain spaces, or parts of the Earth, distin­ guished by several names, according to the different temperature of the Air, and are five in number, viz. one Torrid, two Temperature, and two Frigid. The Torrid Zone lies be­ tween the two Tropicks of Cancer and Capri­ corn, taking up 47 de­ grees of Latitude, that is to say, 940 leagues, or 2820 miles. 'Tis cal­ led Torrid, i. e. parch­ ed, or burning-hot, from its excessive and constant heat, caused by the con­ tnual course of the Sun, between the Tropicks; insomuch that the An­ cients erroneously be­ lieved it to be altogether unhabitable. The Temperate Zones, are one Northern, and the other Southern: The former, (in which we live) extends it self between the Tropick of Cancer and the Arctick Circle, and the other between the Tropick of Capricorn, and the An­ tarctick Circle; so that they apparently owe their name, with the advantages of the Cli­ mate to their Situation between the extremities of the Torrid and Fri­ gid Zones; and each of 'em takes up 43 degrees of Latitude; about 860 leagues, or 2580 miles. The Frigid Zones, like­ wise one on the North, and the other on the South, are situated in the farthermost parts of the World; that is to say, the Northern be­ tween the Arctick Circle and the Arctick Pole, and the Southern be­ tween the Antarctick Cir­ cle and the Pole of the same name: So that each of them contains 23 degrees and a half, 470 leagues, or 1410 miles. These two Zones are call'd Frigid, i. e. ex­ ceeding cold or frozen, because being extremely remote from the Sun's Course in the Zodiack, they partake but little of its heat, recieving its Rays oblique and with­ out reflection; upon which account, the anci­ ent Geographers and Historians, could not imagine them to be at all Inhabited no more than the Torrid Zone for its vehement heat; but their mistakes are now sufficiently disco­ vered. Zoophytes, (q. d. plant­ animals) a Philosophical Term, denoting things that are as it were of a middle nature, between Plants and Living­ creatures, as Spunges, &c.
