_Shipster_ (Vol. ii., p. 30.).--If C. B. will consult Dr. Latham's
_English Language_, 2nd ed., he will find that the termination _ster_ is
not merely a _notion_ of Tyrwhitt's, but a fact. Sempstress has a
_double_ feminine termination. _Spinster_ is the only word in the
present English which retains the old feminine meaning of the
termination _ster_.
