Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Etymological Dictionary of the Scottish Language, Vol. 1 For convenient reference, and in order otherwise to increase the usefulness of this work, many important improvements have been introduced in the form of the book. It will be found, for example, that all the quotations, corrections, and additions of the Supplement, have been incorporated in the body of the work; and that the arrangement of words, which was in some instances faulty, has been made more consistent; that many corrections have been made throughout; and that not a few additional forms and meanings of words have been given. But, in almost every case, except where the alteration is merely verbal, the new matter has been enclosed within brackets, to distinguish it from the work of Dr. Jamieson. No pains have been spared to make this edition of the Scottish Dictionary as correct and complete as possible; but, even with the utmost care and attention, in a work of such magnitude and diversity, mistakes and omissions are unavoidable. In order to remedy these defects, the volumes will come under the eye of ripe and able scholars in all parts of the world, and lists of corrigenda and addenda will be collected as the work proceeds, which, when properly sifted and arranged, will form an interesting and valuable addition to the great work by Dr. Jamieson. To secure a result so important, every one who takes an interest in our Scottish literature, and in the success of the present undertaking, is respectfully invited to assist; for, only by combination of effort, can completeness be obtained. The Publisher will reckon himself peculiarly indebted to any readers who will take the trouble of pointing out errors of importance, or of transmitting to him such words as have been omitted, with the proper explanations. This edition contains Dr. Jamieson's original Prefaces, his Dissertation on the Origin of the Scottish Language, a List of the Books referred to, or quoted by the Author throughout his Dictionary and Supplement, and the List of Original Subscribers. When nearly half of the first volume had passed through the press, Dr. Longmuir was compelled, by the state of his health, to withdraw in some measure from the supervision of the work. The Publisher was fortunate in securing the services of D.Donaldson, Esq., F.E.I.S., Editor of "The Troy Book" in the Early English d104 Society's Series, whose extensive knowledge of Scottish literature, and experience as a student of Philology, specially qualify him for the work.

But many other branches of science are equally liable to this objection. Was it a clear proof of the wisdom conferred on our common parent, that he gave names to all the inferior creatures, according to their peculiar natures? And may we not discern a considerable vestige of his primeval state, in the propriety of many of the names imposed on things, even in modern languages? An inquiry into the reasons of these is not, therefore, a matter of mere unprofitable curiosity. It is no contemptible mean of investigating the operations of our intellectual powers.
