ToRELUCT. This word is censured, in a review of Bancroft’s Life of Washing- 
ton in the Monthly Anthology vol. iy. p. 666. Most of the dictionaries have 
it; but it is seldom used by American writers. 
REMOVE. n. “ At an infinite remove.” First Ripe Fruits, being a Collection 
of Tracts, &c. by the Rev. John M. Mason, New York, 1803. The Eng- 
lish Reviewers quote the above expression as an example of what they 
call the “ occasional vulgarisms, possibly Anglo-Americanisms,” of Dr. 
Mason’s work, See Review, in the Christian Observer, v. il. p. 564. 
RENEWEDLY; anew, again. This word is often heard from the pulpit. His 
not in the English dictionaries, 
REQUIREMENT. This is sometimes, though rarely, used in America. I do 
not find it in any of the English dictionaries, except Aailey’s, folio edition. 
RESEMBLAGE. This has been criticised by some of the English reviewers of 
“Marshall’s Li ife of Washington, as an instance of the “ incorrect language” 
of that work ; the reviewers evidently considering it as the American word 
for re-a bi. See saniat review, Vv. Vii. p. 241. But they have, in 
tS Ce 
this and several other instances, been misled by the incorrectness of the Eng- 
lish editions of Jadge Marshall’s work. In the present instance, the Ameri- 
can edition has re-assemblage which the reviewers themselves propose as 
the Substitute.* 
* The Linidod setae edition of this work (if we may judge from ¢] ‘the take giv. 
en in the Annual Review) must be grossly incorrect ; for of the thirteen j instances which © 
the reviewers give of American i accuracies in language, several are errors of the Eng. 
lish press. The word infected for un-infected has been already mentioned Another 
instance occurs in vol. ii. p. 551, London octavo, edit. [p. 479, Amer. ed.] where the 
reviewers suppose the author uses patrole for pore But = tones quarto, and 
the American, editions both have parole. NoA two words. 
A typographical error also in the name of Dr. Robertson (which in the London octave 
edition, it seems, is printed Robinson, though the quarto has Robertson) and an inad- 
vertence on the part of the author, in giving that distinguished | historian the title of 
‘Mr. instead of his usual one of Dr., are made the subject of an unmerited degree of 
ridicule. In the American edition, the name is correctly printed. We have enough 
corruptions of our own to answer for, without being responsible for: those which the 
ete printers make for us. ye never, I trust, be so wanting imeandour, as
