PREFACE.

DICTIONARIES have certainly not received those improvements, either in plan or execution, which their increased utility has rendered essentially necessary. The difficulty of their execution sufficiently accounts for this tardiness in their advancement; and the most ignorant reader may often discover an error in what relates to his own particular branch of knowledge, although he may be very unequal to appreciate the merits of any other subject. But the study, or rather the mode of acquiring a knowledge of languages, has made as little progress as the compilation of dictionaries. Grammarians have multiplied divisions, and involved themselves in the subordinate details of grammar, without considering the general and necessary principles of speech, the dependence of oral language on the organs of the voice, or the analogies between the modes of thinking, the sentiment, and the language of a particular people. Hence it is, that persons often labour for years to become familiar with the subdivisions and classifications of words, when a knowledge of what may be truly called the spirit of a language, might be acquired in a few hours, and all other knowledge respecting it would follow as a consequence of imbibing its spirit. Whoever considers words as the efforts of the mind to communicate its ideas and feelings, will soon discover the universal principles of language, and the great similarity of all tongues. With a knowledge of these general elements, it is easy to recognise, and even to feel, the spirit of any particular language or dialect; and hence, the study of different languages becomes not only simple and easy, but really instructive, as it presents incomparably the most faithful pictures of all mental operations, of ideas and passions, as influenced by religion, laws, and civil polity, or climate. Some linguists, indeed, are contented with knowing the grammatical distinctions and the names of a coat or a book in several languages, without any regard to the extension of useful knowledge, and forgetting that a mere vocabulary may be acquired by a mechanical effort of the memory, independent of judgment. Such vocabularists make no discoveries in the arts or sciences; they never extend the actual boundaries of our knowledge, still less do they meliorate their own minds, give to their reason an absolute ascendency over their passions, or expand their benevolent, at the expense of their selfish feelings. To obviate such pedantry and lettered uselessness, has been one of the chief objects of the present edition of this Spanish and English Dictionary, which, it is hoped, contains not only many thousand more words than are to be found in the most copious vocabularies, but also much practical and useful information, correct data from which the nature

[page] iv

and operations of the human mind in Spain and in England may be deduced; more facts, principles and terms, now used in the sciences, arts, manufactures, and commerce, than in any similar dictionary hitherto published, and likewise more of the modern words in the polite or familiar conversation of both countries.

When it is remembered that words are the representatives of ideas, and that the language of any people is nearly a perfect picture of what passes or exists in their minds, it will be evident that a complete dictionary must be a faithful epitome of their intellectual labours; their idiomatic phrases being but abridged metaphors, or modes of saying one thing and meaning another, the polite metaphors of the first age become the vulgarisms of the second, the obsolete language of the third, and the nervous expression of the fourth. In this manner, taste, fashion, or the progress of civilization, and the effect of external circumstances, modulate all living languages; and every generation has its circle of what is esteemed polite phraseology, in defiance of all critical dogmas, or the more serious denunciations of censors and moralists. This continued succession of popular phrases (for the words of conversation in one age generally form but a very small part of any cultivated language), contributes to augment the interest of well-digested dictionaries, which thereby enable the writer of taste and reflection to select the best, the most harmonious, the purest, and most moral phraseology that the language of successive ages affords. To the divine, the moralist, and the metaphysician, it is no less important; as, words being the offspring of ideas and things, the existence of the former is the most unequivocal demonstration of that of the latter. For instance, the French have very justly and naturally a term signifying a man or a woman with a bad breath, (Punais and Punaise;) the Spanish and English, being generally devoid of this quality, have no corresponding term, and are without any such word. This, however, is not the only difference between the languages and people of those countries. With every French thought and word something of colour and stage effect is associated; it is the spirit of the people and of their language, while that of Spain and England is metaphysical, or mere abstract truth and reason. On the other hand, it must be admitted, that the philanthropic observer of men and manners will view, with profound regret, the superabundance of Spanish epithets injurious to women, and feel perhaps disposed to consider the virtue of females as the fairest criterion of national morality. However this may be, there is evidently more wisdom in raising than depreciating the moral qualities of those who necessarily teach the first rudiments of knowledge, and certainly modulate the character of all mankind. Contrary also to the vulgar and even traditional opinion in Britain, there is, in fact, no radical and appropriate Spanish term, which exclusively and forcibly conveys the same idea as the English word jealousy. Nevertheless the Spaniards have evinced great wisdom in carefully guarding their language and sentiments from the deteriorating influence of French corruption. In this respect, their conduct presents a noble example to the modern English, who really seem to be almost ashamed of their mother tongue, and to have nearly forgotten that their radical language is as old, and incomparably better than that of France. The fashionable and vulgar foplings of the day have expelled the s and t final almost entirely from their jargon, and given an Anglo-Gallic pronunciation to plain English words, that is more analogous to the hideous accents of unfortunate maniacs than the tones of rational beings. Happily this practice is still confined to the ignorant and comparatively illiterate; but, however pity may be extended to the prude and the coquette, whose imbecile affectation may abandon the definite and modest term shift, for the silly, vague, and not very delicate one chemise (camis from χαμίστον would be genuine English); it is

[page] v

impossible to have any other feeling than that of ineffable contempt for the breeched animal, who in the British metropolis has lost his hat to find a chapeau. Such things require the admirable pen of Cadalso, in his Eruditos a la Violeta. This absurdity is, indeed, become so enormous and offensive, as to astonish and perplex strangers, while it excites the liveliest regret in the minds of reflecting natives. It has been attempted to palliate this disgrace, by alleging that the English language is chiefly derived from the French. Some etymologists, it is true, have read English through French spectacles, and indulged their indolence, or masked their ignorance, by producing parallel words from the French. As to Horne Tooke, the most visionary and illogical of all etymologists, whatever is correct or good in his work, all his pretended discoveries of the Eπεα πτεζοτντα, may be traced to what Spanish writers (Aldrete, Mayans, &c.) have related of the manner in which the Goths corrupted the Latin in Spain; his ribaldry and blasphemy are his own; but his errors have been exposed with equal truth and eloquence by Professor Dugald Stewart. There is, however, no notion more erroneous or unfounded, than that of the English tongue being derived from the French, to which it, correctly speaking, owes nothing whatever. The most cursory investigation must satisfy every inquirer, that the grand basis of the English is the Anglo-Saxon, mixed with Latin and Greek, which were popular languages in England at two different periods of the dark ages. Some barbarous law terms, and a few, but very few, other words, have been borrowed from the French, while the genius and spirit of the language still bear the noble features of their Saxon and classic origin. This was universally admitted, till Bolingbroke, and his follower Pope, introduced the French style into prose and rhyme; the former moralized to obliterate the remembrance of his treason, and the latter rhymed solely in imitation of Boileau. Their example has been adopted by Gibbon, who aped Voltaire; but it is the elephant imitating the monkey; his infidelity and occasional obscenity betray his extreme want of morality and judgment, and suit the Gallic tinsel of his monotonous jargon. In the voluminous writings of Gibbon, it is perhaps impossible to find one sentence of pure English; and the foreigner, who wishes to have a correct knowledge of the language, will, it is hoped, never read a page either of Bolingbroke or Gibbon in their English form. Between the Spanish and English there is much more similarity than between the French and English; and this Dictionary will furnish satisfactory evidence, that both nations adopted the same Latin words, with the same significations, into their vernacular dialects. Several of those words are marked, disused in both countries, some others are printed in capitals, while whole families of words are still used, as indagar, from indagare, to indagate. The judicious traveller, who has studied anatomy and physiognomy, and visited the inhabitants in the valleys of Aragon and other northern provinces of Spain, and who has also observed the natives of the Isle of Wight, and the inhabitants in the valleys of the South Downs, will be at no loss to discover the most unequivocal evidence of indentity of origin, and instantly conclude, that a branch of the same race of Saxons (the Getæ), who invaded the south-west of England, must also have extended themselves to Spain. The physical traits of similarity are as striking as those of the ancient Greeks, whose descendants still appear in the valleys of Granada. The inquisitive reader may perhaps feel disposed to pursue this subject much farther than it is here expedient. A writer in the Archæologia, published by the Society of Antiquaries of London, has traced the first inhabitants of Britain to the Iberians; but it is easier to frame ingenious theories than to collect facts and make correct observations. The Saxon race is much less equivocal.

In order to facilitate the acquisition of English, it may here be proper to

[page] vi

notice its significant terminations, which somewhat exceed a hundred. The terminations or affixes an, in, ine, and ana, have a possessive import, and signify belonging to, as partizan is belonging to a party; ee annexed to a verb mark its personal object, patient, or result; er to adjectives signifies before or superior; but when er, or, and our, are added to words signifying action, they denote the person who acts; as from love, lover: they also become abstract nouns or general names of things, as from the Saxon moɲð, death, we have murther or murder, and ure was formerly written our, as plesour, now pleasure, from the Latin placco, and not the French plaisir. Ess and ix are the only feminine terminations, as ster is used to both sexes; the Saxon ric or rick marks possession or dominion; en was the Saxon plural, still used in children, &c.; it also signifies made or consisting of, as golden; and finished, as proven, proved; to shorten, i. e. to make shorter: the difference between ed of the past tense, and en of the participle, is, that in the former the action is considered, in the latter its effects on the object; ght is the same as ed, finished, and the latter in adjectives often becomes id; the adjective affixes ant, ent, and substantive ones ance, ence, and end, denote being or state, as abundant is the quality of being or existing in abundance; and friend from ɲeone, loving; hence the cause of its being still pronounced frend; ing and ion simply indicate the existence of quality or action, and ment or mony is of the like import; ile, al, and ar, are adjective terminations expressing quality or disposition; when al, is added to a verb, it is the same as ing or ion; able and ible signify having or possessing any quality or power; ic, ick, ique, esque, imply kind, division, or similarity; ical is al and ic; ch and ish have the same meaning, but the latter is generally a diminutive; ule, ulous, incle, and et, are also diminutives; oon is an augmentative; y is derived from the Saxon ʒ, and corresponds to the Latin ia; ly, like, and ably, indicate similarity; ary, ery, and ory, express sort or kind; kin, kind, ling, and let, denote family or relation, but the two latter are also diminutives; ous, eous, wise, and ways, express kind or manner of the word to which they are affixed; on makes a personal substantive of similarity, as patron from pater, father; full or ful are self-evident; less means want or dismissal; age and ish imply act, effect, or result, but age also signifies space of time and price; ise or ize are verbal terminations; ism denotes collection of effects or classes of action; ist and ite, personal agent; ive, if, mean causing or producing; ate, ated, ating, ation, ator, atory, and ace, all imply action or agent; el or le, annexed to verbs, make them frequentatives, as to prate, to prattle, &c. ad or ade means mass or heap; cide and cidal are to kill; ard denotes nature, species, kind, or manner; ward means looking to, or in the direction of; hearted is applied to the feelings or passions, headed to the mind and judgment; stead and step indicate place; dom, condition of existence; head, hood, and chief, mean principal and state; ship, skip, or scape, also denote head or chief; ce, cy, ity, tude, and th, are affixes to nouns of generality; fy is to make, faction, the act of making, and sometimes the thing made, as petrifaction; ign expresses quality; ow is of the kind; some and sum mean quantity; and the s, so much abused by Gallic affectation, is properly an adverbial affix, as backward is the quality of an action, backwards the manner of it; stall and still are to place; tide and time are synonymous; w is interchangeable with g, as guile and wile. As to the prefixes, they are chiefly Latin or Greek prepositions, and have nothing peculiar. Un is of Saxon origin, and is not merely a negative, but means to reverse the action of the verb to which it is prefixed. En in composition becomes em, in, ig, il, im, or ir, according to the letter which immediately follows it. Many writers confound the prefixes en and in, although the latter properly signifies situation or place, and is also a negative; thus, to inquire, means to seek in or search the place, and to enquire only signifies to

[page] vii

make search. Farther explanations on this head may be found in the grammars of Lowth, Grant, and Allen, and the Analytical Introduction of Booth.

The Spanish terminations are easily acquired. It was observed by Mayans, that many Spanish substantives and adjectives are Latin ablative cases singular, or accusatives plural, as ars, arte, artes; prudens, prudente, prudentes. The d, l, n, r, s, x, and z, are the only consonants, which can terminate a word although b, c, d, g, l, m, n, p, r, s, t, x, and z, may end a syllable; c, l, n, r, in a few words admit of being doubled, and also the vowels a, e, i, and o, but more rarely. The organs of speech render b, p, v, and f, and, c, g, j and q interchangeable in both languages; in English s and z are commutable in verbal terminations. The Latin t is almost always changed in Spanish for c or z, as gratia, gracia, ratio, razon; the Latin mutes are likewise omitted, as scientia, ciencia; in other cases an e is prefixed for the sake of euphony, as species makes especie. The Latin adjectives in bilis obey the same law in Spanish and English, and make ble; au is changed to o, as aurum, oro; i to e, as infirmus, enfermo; u to o, as musca, mosca; ovum, huevo; f is converted into h, as facere, hacer; m into n, as lympha, linfa; Latin infinitives become Spanish by dropping the final e, as ponere, poner, dormire, dormir, stare, estar; some words are also augmented, by that spirit of magnanimity which animates every Spaniard, and which was judiciously observed by Smith in his Theory of Moral Sentiments; as from spes comes esperanza, cor, corazon; and, as a proof of their delicacy and temperance, comedere is reduced to comer. These literal mutations will be evident to the classical reader, and to others any further notice of them would be useless.

It remains to say something of the great and numerous additions to the volumes now submitted to the public. Above ten whole sheets have been added to the recent editions of this Dictionary, which, with the additional matter gained by compressing the definitions so as to have few short lines, and a greater length of page, as well as other alterations in the mode of printing, augment the contents to nearly twenty sheets more than the preceding editions. In the Spanish-English, there are above 3000 entirely new articles introduced; in the English-Spanish above 12,000. Besides these additions, in both parts, it will be found that very few of the old definitions have been allowed to pass, without either correction or the addition of many new and appropriate synonyms, several thousand of which are not to be found in any Spanish or English dictionary yet published, or indeed in any dictionary of two languages, which has fallen under the observation of the writer. The corrections have been made after carefully consulting the writings of father Isla, Capmany, Jovellanos, &c. and some Spanish living authors of established reputation. In some words the reader will observe definitions in both parts diametrically opposite to what are given in almost all other dictionaries; he is not therefore to conclude that they are wrong, but to examine facts, when he may perhaps discover their general accuracy, and that they are derived from diligent research. It rarely happens, as in the present case, that compilers of dictionaries are equally well acquainted with words and with things: it is the want of the latter, and more arduous kind of knowledge, which occasions the defectiveness of all dictionaries. In this edition, it is believed, more terms of science, arts, manufactures, and commerce, have been introduced than were ever before attempted in a dictionary of two languages, and even more than exist in any English dictionary extant.

Important political circumstances have recently happily combined to promote an extended intercourse between England and Spain—both European and American. The prejudices of religion, which had hitherto interdicted the dissemination of our literature, are rapidly vanishing before the edicts of a more

[page] viii

liberal government in the old country, whilst the separation of Spanish America from its parent state cannot but infuse new life into our commercial enterprise, and bring us more immediately in contact with a country, the natural resources of which are boundless; and with a people, who have manifested the strongest desire to cultivate the friendship, and to repose the fullest confidence in the known integrity and honour, of the British nation. That this copious Dictionary of the languages of these countries may be the medium of facilitating the communication, and of promoting the best interests of each, is not only the earnest desire, but is also the certain anticipation, of the Editors.

Lastly, the Editors regret, from particular circumstances, they are not permitted to return publicly their thanks to many Spanish and other gentlemen, who have generously assisted their researches, either by the loan of books, or by written communications. To James Edwards, Esq. of Binstead, Isle of Wight, they are however happy in having this opportunity of making their grateful acknowledgments for the very handsome manner in which he favoured them with some valuable books from his well-chosen library, and which they believe to be only a small testimony of his friendship to literature, and of his zeal for the diffusion of useful knowledge.

EXPLANATION OF THE CONTRACTIONS, &c.

The sm. sf. mean substantives masculine and feminine; s. implies that the word is of both genders; va. vn. vr. verbs active, neuter, and reflective or reciprocal; a. adjective; ad. adverb; pron. pronoun; pa. participle active. The contractions in parentheses are the first syllables of terms of science and arts, or names of provinces where the word is most used, as (Anat.) Anatomy, (And.) Andalusia, (Ant.) Antiquated, (Ar.) or (Arag.) Aragon, (Arq.) Architecture, (Art.) Artillery, (Aum.) Augmentative, (Bot.) Botany, (Met.) Metaphor or Metaphorical; and so of the others. Verbs active, neuter, or reciprocal are not repeated, but marked thus, AFIRMAR, va.—vn.—vr. When a word is substantive, adjective, and adverb, it is marked thus, MAL, sm.—a.—ad. The masculine and feminine terminations o, and A, and diminutives ICO, ICA; ILLO, ILLA; ITO, ITA; UELO, UELA, cannot be misunderstood. The words printed in capitals, like ADULTERATER, are such as have been derived from the Spanish, but which have hitherto either eluded the researches of English etymologists, or been erroneously ascribed to another source: the number might have been increased had it been more essential. In the Second Volume the English words are accented so as to convey some idea of their pronunciation. Thus, when a vowel is doubled and pronounced short, the accent is placed on the first, as in bréeches, pronounced breches; when pronounced long, the accent is on the latter vowel, as in breéding; beárlike, pro. barelike; béastlike, pro. beestlike; blóod, pro. blud; bloóm, pro. blume, &c.

DICCIONARIO NUEVO

DE LAS

LENGUAS ESPAÑOLA É INGLESA.

Español é Inglés—Spanish and English.

A

A, In the Spanish language, has but one, sound, and is pronounced as the open English a in master.

A'. prep, which signifies, to, in, at, according to, on, by, for, and of; as voy á Madrid, I am going to Madrid; á la Inglesa, in the English fashion; á oriente, in the east: jugar á los naypes, to play at cards: á las ocho, at eight o'clock: á prueba de bombas, bombproof: á ley de Castilla, according to the law of Castile: el vino á pie, he came on foot: quien á hierro mata, á hierro mucre, he who kills by the sword, dies by the sword; dos á dos, two by two: á como vale la fanega? á, treinta realcs, for how much a bushel? for thirty reals; este libro va á Pedro, this book is for Peter: este vaso huele á vino, this glass smells of wine: real de á ocho, piece of eight, V. Real.

A'coalesces with the masculine article èl, and instead of á el, as anciently used, al is now written, as al rey, to the king; al papa, to the pope. This prepositive article is also used before the infinitive mode of verbs, as al amanecer, at the break of day; al parecer, apparently. A' is equivalent to the limit or end of any place or time, á la cosecha pagaré, I shall pay at harvest-time; desde aqui á S. Juan, from this to St. John's day; me llegaba el agua á la garganta, the water was up to my throat. Occasionally it implies towards or opposite, as, se fue á ellos, volvió la cara á tal parte, being towards or opposite them, he turned his face to such a part.

A' sometimes signifies the motive or principle, as, á instancia de la villa, at the request of the city: á que proposito? to what purpose? It also serves to express distributive numbers; as, á perdiz por barba, a partridge a-head. It is likewise a mere explicative in some phrases joined to a pronoun, as, á mi me consta la verdad, I know the truth, or, the truth is evident to me; yo me culpo á mi, I blame myself, or, I take blame to myself; tu te alabas á ti, thou praisest thyself; vamos á pasear, let us take a walk. Before the infinitive mode, and at the beginning of a sentence, it has sometimes a conditional sense, as, á decir verdad, if I must speak the truth.

A'. This preposition governs almost all parts of speech, whether substantives, adjectives, pronouns, or verbs; á los hombres, to men: de bueno á malo, from good to bad: á mi, á ti á vosotros, to me, to thee, to you: á jugai, to play. It sometimes points out the person in whom the action of the verb terminates, and is placed before the accusative, case, as amo á Pedro, I love Peter.

A' is still used in some phrases instead of por en, sin, para and la; and in obsolete writing for con and de. In composition it serves to convert substantives and adjectives into verbs, as abocar from boca, ablandar from blando, &c. Formerly it was prefixed to many word, as abaxar, amatar, &c. but being redundant these words are now written baxar, matar, &c.

A'is frequently used adverbially, as, á deshora, unseasonably; á diferencia de esto, contrary to this; á proposito de eso, in consequence of that; á la verdad, truly; á lo menos, at least;á sabiendas, knowingly; á veces, sometimes;á vista de ojos, evidently, at a glance.

HAB

H Is not properly considered as a letter, but as a mere aspiration. The syllables cha, che, chi, are pronounced as in English. Formerly ch had sometimes the sound of k, as in chimico, chimera, chamelote: but the Spanish Academy has very properly fixed the pronunciation of all words in which they had the hard sound, by writing them as in quîmico, químera, camelote. The moderns use h to soften the pronunciation of many words, as facer, fijo, are now written hacer, hijo. For the same purpose it is placed before u, followed by e, in many words derived from the Latin, as huevo, from ovum, an egg, hueso from os. The h is never sounded in the Spanish language, except by the common people in Andalusia; and those words in which it was preceded by a p, and took the sound of f, are now written as pronounced, thus, fenómeno, phenomenon. After r and t the h is entirely omitted, as in reuma, rheum, teatro, theatre; but it is retained and aspirated in all words which originally began with h, or between two vowels, as honor, almohaza.

THE Latin vowel i greatly differs from the consonant j, in point of pronunciation, the latter being a guttural letter, pronounced in the throat, like the English h strongly aspirated, as in help. Formerly much confusion prevailed with regard to the use of the Latin i and y. This has been removed by the rules laid down in the Orthography of the Spanish Academy. In all cases where the i served as a conjunction, it is now superseded by y, and where the latter is a vowel, as in lyra, it must yield to i, notwithstanding the etymon of the word, and be written lira, pira, &c. I in Spanish is sounded like the English long e in even.

XAB

THE x is the 26th letter in the Spanish alphabet, and is a semi-vowel, taken from the Romans, among whom it had in general the power of the two consonants c and s. This sound is preserved in Spanish, when it is followed by a consonant, or a vowel marked with a circumflex, as extremo, exîstencia; but otherwise it is converted into a strong guttural sound, scarcely to be distinguished from the Spanish j before all the vowels, or g, before e and i, when strongly pronounced. In some provinces of Spain, however, it is sounded only by a strong emission of the breath, like the English h in here. In several words it has been supplanted by ch and ll, as chapeo was originally written xapeo, and xaga, changed into chaga, and now llaga. It is also used at the end of many words pronounced gutturally, instead of g or j, which can terminate no Spanish word whatever; and is retained in the plural, as carcax, carcaxes; dixe, dixes; relox, reloxes.

X has been substituted by the Spaniards for s of the Latins, as inserere is made inxerir, sapo, xabon, &c. and for the two ss of the Italians, as in basso, which is become baxo.

YA

Y is the 27th letter in the Castilian alphabet, and was derived from the Greeks: it serves both as a consonant and a vowel; as a consonant, when followed by a vowel, as in mayo; and as a vowel it serves for a conjunctive particle, instead of the ancient é (which is a contraction of the Latin et) except when followed by a word that begins with an i, or y before a consonant, in which case the ancient é is retained. Formerly it was used in all words derived from the Greek; but that practice is deemed pedantic, and pyra, lyra, &c. are now written pira, lira.

Y, And, a conjunction, is pronounced like the English e; when a consonant, it has nearly the same sound as in English. It is frequently used in interrogatives, as ó y tú, donde has estado? And thou, where hast thou been P y bien? And well then? ó y que tenemos con eso? And what is that to us? Generally it is a copulative conjunction, as Alonso, Fernando, y Manuel, Alphonsus, Ferdinand, and Emmanuel.
