PREFACE TO THE NEW AND REVISED EDITION

The number of words dealt with has been considerably increased, and (exclusive of cross-references and the like) stands approximately thus :—A, 882 ; B, 865 ; C, 1434 ; D, 845 ; E, 575 ; F, 639 ; G, 518 ; H, 517 ; I, 724 ; J, 145 ; K, 108 ; L, 527 ; M, 782 ; N, 242 ; O, 376 ; P, 1231 ; Q, 104 ; R, 648 ; S, 1555 ; T, 821 ; U, 92 ; V, 265 ; W, 319 ; X, 2 ; Y, 45 ; Z, 25. The greatest number of these begins with S ; after which follow, in order, C, P, A, B, D, T, M, I, R, F, E, L, G, H, O, W, V, N, J, K, Q, U, Y, Z, X. Total number, 14,286.

I beg leave to refer the reader, for further information, to the former Prefaces here reprinted, the Brief Notes at p. xviii, the List of Books consulted, and the Key to the General Plan.

I am under obligation to a large number of correspondents and friends. In particular, I desire to mention the names of the Rev. A. L. Mayhew, of Oxford, who gave me so much assistance when revising my Concise Dictionary, and of P. Giles, M.A., of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, University Reader in Comparative Philology. My second daughter, Clara L. Skeat, has verified nearly all the references given in the third edition, and has in many ways rendered me efficient help.

Cambridge, April 30, 1909.

PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION

The present work was undertaken with the intention of furnishing students with materials for a more scientific study of English etymology than is commonly to be found in previous works upon the subject. It is not intended to be always authoritative, nor are the conclusions arrived at to be accepted as final. It is rather intended as a guide to future writers, showing them in some cases what ought certainly to be accepted, and in other cases, it may be, what to avoid. The idea of it arose out of my own wants. I could find no single book containing the facts about a given word which it most concerns a student to know, whilst, at the same time, there exist numerous books containing informa-tion too important to be omitted. Thus Richardson’s Dictionary is an admirable store-house of quotations illustrating such words as are of no great antiquity in the language, and his selected examples are the more valuable from the fact that he in general adds the exact reference1. Todd’s Johnson likewise contains numerous well-chosen quotations, but perhaps no greater mistake was ever made than that of citing from authors like ‘Dryden’ or ‘Addison’ at large, without the slightest hint as to the whereabouts of the context. But in both of these works the etymology is commonly of the poorest description ; and it would probably be difficult to find a worse philologist than Richardson, who adopted many suggestions from Horne Tooke without inquiry, and was capable of saying that hod is ‘perhaps hoved, hov’d, hod, past part. of heafan to heave.’ It is easily ascertained that the AS. for heave is hebban, and that, being a strong verb, its past participle did not originally end in -ed.

It would be tedious to mention the numerous other books which help to throw such light on the history of words as is necessary for the right investigation of their etymology. The great defect of most of them is that they do not carry back that history far enough, and are very weak in the highly important Middle-English period. But the publications of the Camden Society, of the Early English

1 I have verified a large number of these. Where I could not conveniently do so, I have added ‘(R.)’ in parentheses at the end of the reference. I found, to my surprise, that the references to

Chaucer are often utterly wrong, the numbers being frequently misprinted.

PREFACE TO THE NEW AND REVISED EDITION

I beg leave to refer the reader, for further information, to the former Prefaces here reprinted, the Brief Notes at p. xviii, the List of Books consulted, and the Key to the General Plan.

Cambridge, April 30, 1909.

PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION

1 I have verified a large number of these. Where I could not conveniently do so, I have added ‘(R.)’ in parentheses at the end of the reference. I found, to my surprise, that the references to

Chaucer are often utterly wrong, the numbers being frequently misprinted.
