From: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)

 Vil·lage n.  A small assemblage of houses in the country, less than a town or city.
 Village cart, a kind of two-wheeled pleasure carriage without a top.
 Syn: -- Village, Hamlet, Town, City.
 Usage: In England, a hamlet denotes a collection of houses, too small to have a parish church. A village has a church, but no market. A town has both a market and a church or churches. A city is, in the legal sense, an incorporated borough town, which is, or has been, the place of a bishop's see. In the United States these distinctions do not hold.
