Book Description
Excerpt from Principles of English Etymology The present volume is intended to serve as a help to the student of English etymology. In my Etymological Dictionary, the numerous examples of similar letter - changes are invariably separated from each other, by the necessity for adhering to the alphabetical order. It is therefore advisable to re-arrange the results so as to shew what words should be under consideration at the same time. It is only by a com parison of this character that the various phonetic laws can be properly observed and tested. I have found it advisable to follow the example of Mr. Sweet, in his History of English Sounds, and to consider what may be called the 'native element' of our language apart from the Romance or imported element. Hence I have purposely excluded all words of French origin from the present investigation. A few French words are quoted here and there by way of illustration, but no inferences are here drawn from the results which their history furnishes. If the present volume should meet with approval, I propose to issue another volume, to be entitled 'second Series, ' Which will deal particularly, and almost exclusively, with the words which have been imported into English from French, as well as from Latin, Greek, and other languages (except Teutonic and Celtic) af/er the N orman Conquest.

Excerpt from An Etymological Dictionary of the English Language Owing to the large number of corrections which the use of the newer method renders imperative, I took the opportunity, in 1901, of printing an entirely new edition of my Concise Etymological Dictionary, first issued in 1882, and partially corrected in four later editions the result being that the edition of 1901 entirely supersedes all that preceded it.

Excerpt from A Concise Etymological Dictionary of the English Language I do not, in general, give the history Of the use of the word under discussion, unless there is some special point which is necessary to be known for the sake of the etymology. For such history, accompanied by illustrative comments. References, and discussions, I must refer students to the unabridged work.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
Excerpt from An Etymological Dictionary of Modern English The vocabulary dealt with is, roughly speaking, that Of the Concise Oxford Dictionary collated, during the printing Of the book, with that of Cassell's New English Dictionary These two marvels Of completeness and compression include, however, a great number Of scientific and technical words which can hardly be regarded as forming part Of the English language, while omitting, either by accident or. Design, others which, in my Opinion, have acquired civic rights. As our language grows with the same majestic and unnoticed progress as our empire, it results that every dictionary is, strictly Speaking, out of date within a month Of its publication, and many words will be found here which are not recorded in either of the above compilations.
