_Definition of Thunder._--The following singular definition of _thunder_
occurs in Bailey's _Dictionary_, vol. i. 17th edit., 1759:--
"Thunder [Dunder, Sax. &c.], a noise known by persons not deaf."
In Bailey's 2nd vol. 2nd edition, 1731 (twenty-eight years previous to
the edition of vol. i. above cited), the word is much more
scientifically treated.
