            Note.  Among the words in the foregoing supplement, are many which are well authorized and very useful; some perhaps not necessary or useful, nor supported by respectable authority; yet such as ought not to be denied a place in a dictionary. Many new words are coined from the necessity or convenience of designating classes of animals, and of mineral and vegetable substances which have been recently discovered; and the necessity of new terms in the sciences can be determined only by the limits of future discoveries.
            But the introduction of new words is not confined to the sciences.  Some of the most popular British writers use a license in coining words which, in my view, is not warranted by good taste, nor compatible with a due regard to the purity of the English language.
            In preparing this work, many obsolete words are retained, merely for the sake of the readers of old books; but care has been taken not to admit words recently coined, unless they are made in conformity to establish English rules or analogies.
