Mr. Pickering on the present state of the English language 
New England, is first, a district or geographical subdivision, in which sense 
is the phrase ‘ Inhabitants of towns ;’ secondly, it is a body corporate... 
In truth, the society, town and county in these countries, are new modifica- 
tions of the farish, hundred and shire, in which the powers, and immuni- 
ties are differently distributed. Kendaii’s Trav. vol. i. pp. 12, 85, 113. 
The word town, in the sense of a district, is in common use in Ireland : 
“ The word town in Zreland does not mean as it does here [in England] 
houses inhabited, but is merely a technical description of a particular. dis- 
trict, and is notorious there.” See the case of Massey vs. Rice, Cowfrer’s 
Reports, 348. 
TOWNSHIP; “ the territory or land of a town.” Webst. This word is seldom 
TRADE. Doctor’s ¢rade, that is, drugs o: 
used now in England, I believe, except to signify “the corporation of a 
town,” which is Johnson’s first sense of it. His second signification, how- 
ever, is—“ the district belonging to a town;” and his authority is Sir Wal- 
ter Raleigh. The following instance is from a modern English author: 
“ The common field sownshifis were divided into a certain number of ¢ liv- 
ings,’ i.e. tenements or farms,” Marshall’s. Rural Econ. of Midland 
Counties ; word Living. 
_ Used by the vulgar 
only. fakaniaapepde piri thiey ‘ave the name of Doc- 
tor’s gcer. See Grose’s Prov. Gloss, 
TRICKY ; trickish. .4 iow word, 
TURNPIKE. “A toll-gate set on a road, a road on which a turnpike is erect- 
ed.” Webst. This word (says an obliging English friend) is always used 
in America “to signify the road. It is unquestionably the gate, and im 
England they always say the turnpfike-road, and by turnpike alone they. 
mean the gate.” “The turnpike roads of England are placed under the 
management and direction of certain bodies of trustees,” &c: Hawkins’ 
Pleas of the Crown, by Leach, B. I. ch. 76. “ The passage of carriages 
or horses through any turnpike, toll-gate, or bar, at which. any toll is col- 
lectede? &e, Stat. 25, Geo. 3. c. 57, cited in the same chapiter of that work.
