in the United States of America. TT 
and in other places. It is not in Johnson, (quarto edit, 1799,) nor Mason’s 
Supplement; nor do I find it in any of the English dictionaries except Walk- 
er’s,and it was not inserted in the early editions of that work. It is in the 
fourth London edition (in quarto 1806) with this short remark ; “the same as 
eulogy.” It is notin Mr. Webster’s dictionary. 
EVOKED ; conjured or raised up. 
“ Every phantom of jealousy and fear is evoked.” Letter of the Hon. 
J. Q. Adams, Boston, 1808, p. 30. The Editor of the New-York Evening 
Post,in “Remarks and Criticisms’? on this letter, says, “ We doubt whether 
the verb fo evoke be English} the substantive evocation is an English 
word.” A Boston critic seems to intimate that e-voked here may be a mis- 
take of the printer for in-voked. 
EXCHANGEABILITY. See the next word. 
EXCHANGEABLE. This and the preceding word are incidentally noticed, as 
unauthorized words, by a writer in the Monthly Anthology, (vol. i. p. 635.) 
who says they are used in Washington’s [official] Letters, vol. ii. pp. 80, 
94, 257. I do not find them taken notice of by any of the lexicographers 
except Mr. Webster. 
EXECUTIVE. This word is now in general use here, as a noun, signifying 
the Executive Power Pa Meshes i ent at as ee =o gaat whom that 
power is vested, 
A writer in the Monthly hathoben cies; p- prey” seems to think that 
“ we have succeeded in incorporating it into the language, as it is now in 
Seneral use in England.” It is certainly sometimes used in England; but 
I do not recollect it in any instance- except where the writer or speaker 
was alluding to the American Executive, and seemed to employ it as an 
American name. In the preface to the London edition of Ramsay's History 
of the American Revolution, (which however was published twenty years 
Ago,) it is classed among those American words, which the English “ have 
listened to without as yet adopting.” The constitution of the-United States 
says the executive fower, and never simply, the executive. 
To EXPECT ; to suppose, think. = 
“In most parts of the world people expect things that are to come.
