      in spelling. Thus we have notice (n. & v.), noticed,
      noticing, noticer; poultice (n. & v.); apprentice (n. &
      v.); office (n. & v.), officer (n.); lattice (n.),
      latticed (a.); benefice (n.), beneficed (a.), etc. Cf.
      sacrifice (?; n. & v.), surmise (?; n. & v.), promise
      (?; n. & v.); compromise (?; n. & v.), etc. Contrast
      advice (?; n.), and advise (?); device (?), and devise
      (?), etc.
