Sweet WO'N, this is great--thank you. Is this on-line somewhere, or did someone (perhaps your source from the other board) type this themselves? Though I see that you say the accent is in the word-listing, I'm wondering if there is something about the fonts that certain places allow might possibly have turned an accent into an apostrophe. Just a thought*--for all I know, it was sci'ence. Nicholas?
My first question was based on seeing the word chimistry. Did it used to be spelled that way? And I was surprised to see No science doth make known the first principles on which it buildeth. That isn't true today, is it?
*My first typing of this came out "Joust a thought"--now there could be a phrase with meaning!
