PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION
The first edition of this dictionary having been exhausted, it has been
extensively revised, and certain new features and alterations have
been introduced into it.
i. The principle of arranging all words according to their actual
spelling has been to a considerable extent abandoned. It was ad­
mittedly an unscientific one, and opened the door to a good many
errors and inconsistencies. The head form in this edition may be
either a normalised form or one which actually occurs.
2. Words beginning with
ge-
have been distributed among the
letters of the alphabet which follow that prefix, and the sign + has
been employed instead of
ge-
in order to make the break in alpha­
betical continuity as little apparent
to
the eye as possible. The sign
±
has been used where a word occurs both with and without the
prefix.
3. References to Cook's translation of Sievers'
Anglo-Saxon
Grammar,
and to the Grammatical Introduction to Sweet's
Reader
have been taken out, as Wright's or Wyatt's
Old English Grammar
will have taken their place with most English students.
4. A new feature which, it is hoped, will prove widely useful, is the
introduction of references to all, or nearly all, the headings in the
New
English Dictionary
under which quotations from Anglo-Saxon texts
are to be found. A vast mass of valuable information as to the etymo­
logy, meaning and occurrence of Old English words is contained in
that Dictionary, but is to a very large extent overlooked because it is
to be found under the head of words which are now obsolete, so that
unless one happens to know what was the last form which they had in
Middle English, one does not know how to get at it. This information
will be made readily available by the references in the present work,
which will form a practically complete index to the Anglo-Saxon
material in the larger dictionary and will at the same time put the
student on the track of interesting Middle English examples of the
use of Old English words. Besides directing the reader (by means of
quotation marks) to the heading in the
New English Dictionary
where
the relevant matter may be found, an indication has been given of the
texts from which quotations are made therein, when these do not
exceed four or five.
5. There have been many valuable contributions to Anglo-Saxon
lexicography (by Napier, Swaen, Schlutter, Förster, Wulfing and
