Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reprinted Glossaries I hope that such readers as may be somewhat tired of seeing a continuation Of the Reprinted Glossaries will kindly take into account the great value they have for zealous and. Earnest students. With the present Part, we come almost to an end Of the more important of what may be called the minor Glossaries. Those who Wish to work at dialects can only be thankful for the time and expense saved by such reprints as are given in the present volume. The reader will find here collected all the dialectal words contained in no less than ten volumes, since Kennett's work (ed. 1818) is in two volumes, Britton's Beauties Of Wiltshire in three, and Glossary XIX. Also contains words from the Monthly Magazine for 1814. Little need be said here about the several Glossaries, as each has a brief Introduction of its own prefixed to it but I may add a few words as to the copies to which I had access.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reprinted Glossaries, Vol. 1 His prefatory remarks cannot wholly be relied upon; even in dealing with the pronunciation of his own neighbourhood, he seems often to be at fault, partly, no doubt, from the common inability to express the sounds which he intended. Mr Ellis took considerable pains to ascertain his real meaning, but without much success. What is intended by the diphthong ea on p. 18 is indeed a puzzle whilst in the 'explanations' at p. 21, he talks of the aw in word, on which Mr Ellis remarks that aw ought to mean [sew], l but the example is utterly confusing, since word in S. Cleveland and the East Coast line is It is an additional difficulty that the author's remarks refer to the last century instead of to the present.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glossary of Terms and Phrases The Glossary of Terms and Phrases ls intended to bring to gether such words, expressions, quotations, etc., English or other, as are among the more uncommon in current literature, and require, not for the scientific but for the ordinary reader, explanations, for the want of which the meaning of a sentence or a paragraph, even the drift of an argument, is often missed; explanations, moreover, not to be obtained without reference to, and perhaps tedious search among, a large and varied number of books, many of them not easily accessible. In short, the editor indulges the hope that this Glossary may supply all the information needed by general readers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Supplementary English Glossary I have been for some time in the habit of marking in an inter leaved copy of Halliwell's Dictionary references to any of the words noted therein that I may have come across in my reading. I found, however, that even a Dictionary so copious as that had left many terms unrecorded, and about four years ago the idea occurred to me of compiling a Supplementary Glossary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on English Etymology: Chiefly Reprinted From the Transactions of the Philological Society It will be understood that most of the etymological notes, as here reprinted, were more or less novel at the time of their appearance, or were taken from sources which were then new. In order to enable the curious to test the chronology in any given case, I have added the approximate date of publication at or near the end of each article, using 82, 85, &c., by way of abbreviation for 1882, 1885, &c. See pp. 1 - 2 for the exact list. Many of the notes here given have been adopted by later writers of dictionaries, and have appeared, for example, in the Century Dictionary (1889 - 91) and in the new edition of Webster I do not say that the editors of these works did not, in some cases at least, obtain similar results for themselves independently, for I have been informed that this sometimes happened I merely say that they had access to much of the material here given, and had my permission to make use of it. This at once explains a large number of the instances in which, for example, the new edition of Webster agrees with me as to results which nowhere appeared in the old edition of 1864. At p. 274, l. 3, I note, for example, that the old edition of Webster gives the wrong explanation of reply, whereas the edition of 1890 is correct. The date of my article (see p. 274, last line but one) is 1888. The same is true of the next article but one, that on some. Wherever I have myself been consciously indebted to others, I have endeavoured to say so. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reprinted Glossaries, Vol. 1: I. North of England Words, From "a Tour to the Caves," by J. H., 1781; II. Provincialisms of East Yorkshire, by Mr. Marshall, 1788; III. Provincialisms of East Norfolk, by Mr. Marshall, 1787 Strange as this notion of our being all Welshmen may appear now, it was probably by no means peculiar to our Glossarist. This receives some illustration from the fact that, in the last century, we did not always call ourselves Englishmen, but often Britons, just as the Americans are commonly made to talk about Britishers and the British lion.' It is not worth while to multiply instances all can remember how Thomson declared that Britons never will be slaves, ' and how Campbell, in his stanzas on the threatened invasion in 1803, burst out with In a Briton's sweet home Shall a spoiler abide?' On the other hand, it is not improbable that the labours of the English Dialect Society may hereafter make it plain, that the amount of Welsh amongst our more homely words has been somewhat underrated.
