MISCHIEVOUS,mls'tshe-vus,«.277. Harm-ful, hurtful, destructive ; spiteful, malicious.£7 There is an accentuation of this word upon thesecond syllable, chiefly confined to the vulgar, which,from its agreeableneas to analogy, is well worthy ofbeing adopted by the (earned. Analogy certainly re-quires that the verb formed from the noun mischiefshould be mischieve, as from thief, thieve ; grief,grieve; belief, believe, &c. with the accent on the se-cond syllable, 492; and from such a verb would na-turally be formed the adjective in question. But whatanalogy can give sanction to a vulgarism 1 What Popeobserves of the learned in another case is but too ap-plicable in this—
** So much they scorn the crowd, that if the throng** By chance go right, they purposely go wrong.’*
To which we may add, that in language, as in manyother cases, it is safer to be wrong with the polite thanright with the vulgar.
