_Nouns_ are the names of persons and things, as well as of things not material and palpable, but of which we have a conception and knowledge, such as _courage_, _firmness_, _goodness_, _strength_; and _verbs_ express _actions, movements,_ &c. If the word used signifies that anything has been done, or is being done, or is, or is to be done, then that word is a _verb_. [IT WOULD TAKE 27,600 SPIDERS TO PRODUCE 1 LB. OF WEB.]
