Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Reply to Messrs.& C. Merriam's Attack: Upon the Character of Dr. Worcester and His Dictionaries We have recently received from a friend in Ohio a pamphlet issued by Messrs. G. & C. Merriam, of Springfield, Mass., containing a gross and vulgar attack upon the character of Joseph E. Worcester, LL.D., and his Dictionaries. To those who enjoy a personal acquaintance with Dr. Worcester, the statements contained in it will excite only compassion for the authors; but, as we are informed that the pamphlet has been extensively circulated throughout the Western States, and jn sections of the country where Dr. Worcester is personally unknown, it becomes necessary, in justice both to him and ourselves, that we should examine some.of the statements, and expose the falsity of them. The attack upon the character of Dr. Worcester commences with a letter from Messrs. G. C. Merriam, which occupies about fourteen octavo pages, purporting to be addressed to one Mr. L. P. Frost, from which we extract only the first paragraph, as follows: Mr. Frost. Dear Sir: Your favor of the 30th of March was duly received. We have also before us a copy of the pamphlet to which you refer, and beg leave to say a few things in regard to its statements. To begin with the end: its authors speak of their "regret that gratuitous and unfounded assaults upon Worcester's Dictionaries" render it necessary for them to employ instrumentalities for which they seem conscious an apology is necessary. We will state the facts. In 1828, Dr. Webster, after twenty or thirty years' assiduous labor, published his American Dictionary of the English Language, in 2 vols. 4 to. In the previous year, 1827, an edition of Todd's Johnson's Dictionary, 1 vol. 8vo., was published in Boston, of which Mr. Worcester was the American editor. Having the entire control of the matter, he retained the kin words terminating in c, as musick, physick, almanack, &c., and the u in honour, favour, authour, and that large class of words; - Dr. Webster omitted both these, as music, favor, &c., and they constitute a very large and important class of the words in regard to which he departed from the then prevalent orthography. Shortly subsequent to this, Mr. Worcester was employed by Dr. Webster or his family to prepare an Abridgment of the American Dictionary - the present 8vo., published by Messrs. Harpers, for which he was paid $2000. It may be supposed he acquired some skill in dictionary-making by his labor.
