* It was «t first intended that this Model, in addition to the sereral accidents of each word, should contaio ex- 

 amples of the various meanings from our most approved writers, and also tlie aHinities to other languages ; but, it 

 was afterwards considered that the same end would be attained by confining it to one or two examples of each. The 

 time and research requisite fbr satisfactorily treating any limited number of words in these respects, particularly 



■ the former, would, as it is evident to every scholar who has given any attention to these matters, suffice to 

 eomplete a hundred fold the number in the general work. The places, however, where they should be introdoced 



. wj pointed out.. For the same reason it was considered unnecessary to give all the meanings of the words.
