1.3` uxuacu. ` y . My terror originated lastyear. in a sin-` gular fashion. I t_ was on one damp night in autumn. VVhen my servant `had left after dinner, I asked myself what I should do. I walked up and down my room for awhile. I felt weary, dejected without cause, unable to work or even to read. A ne rain was beating against the panes. I was sad; overpowered by one of those fits of melancholy which make one feel like crying, which make one want to talk with some one elseywith any one who can light- en the dreariness. ` 3 I 12-11.

The-use of the j may be's.iid to have become general during the time of the commonwealth, say between 1649 and 1658. From 1630 to 1646 its use is exceedingly rare.

What nation was first to `use it as a new letter is an interesting but per- htips unanswerable query. In a like manner the printers and language makers of the latter part of the sixteenth century began to recognizeitne` fact that there was a sound in spoken English which was withouta representative in the shape of an alphabetical sign or character, as the first sound in the word wet. Prior to that time it had always .been spelled as vet, the v having the long sound of u or of two u s together. In order to convey an idea of the new sound they began tospell such words as .wet,- weather, web, etc., with two u s, and as the u of` that date was a typical- *v, the three words above looked like `this: vvet, vveather, vveb. After i awhile the typefounders recognized the fact that the double u had come to stay, so they joined the two v s together and made the character now so well known I as the w. ,There is one book in which three forms of the w are given.
