MORRIS *** HOTEL, No committee can tell whether * word ia a good word or a bad word, or whether it ia wanted or not. Old fash ioned people w ill alwaya tell yon that t new word ia not wanted and that there are pleuty of exact equivalents for it al ready in the langnage. Thia aeema con clusive, yet experience often proves that they were wrong and that there was a shade of meaning which they did uot perceive, but which was nevertheless pressing eagerly for expreasiou. Thou sands of words which we now consider absolutely eseeutial to the langnage were, when they were first introduced, (lcaoribed as quite unnecessary aud the mere surplusage of pedantry or affecta tion. Let any one tarn to that most ! humorous of Eliaabethan plays, “ The Poetaster," and read the scene iu which the poet (Marstou is the subject of the satire) is given an ematio aud made to bring "p all the newfangled words which be baa nsed in his works. The character who is watching the results keeps on calling oat that such and such a monstrosity “ has newly come up. ” Thia was thought n brilliant piece of satire at the time, and yet now half the condemned words are admitted by ail readers and writers, in troth, there can be no censorship iu literature. The only possible plan is to give every word its chance and allow the fittest to survive. It was in thia sense that Dryden de clared that he proposed new words, and if the public approvod "the bill passed” and the word became law. In stead of a writer being on the lookout to throttle and destroy any and every . new word or phrase that may be sup- gesled, it ought to be his business to en courage all true and fitting develop ments of his native tongue. Dryden, in the admirable pasaage from which we have quoted already, uses the memo rable phrase, “ I trade both with the liv ing and the dead for the enrichment of onr tongue. "—Loudon Spectator.
