26、nch naturalist, wrote some books about natural history. The books were a great success even though some critics did not like them. Some critics said, “Buffon is more of a poet than a scientist.”Thomas Jefferson did not like what Buffon had said about the natural wonders of the New World. It seemed t

30、ed the word to describe a politician the paper supported. “He is an honorable man,” the paper wrote, “so let the opposition try to belittle him as much as they please.”In 1872, a famous American word expert decided that the time had come to kill this word.
