PREFACE.
Soia seren centuries ago, two distinct langiuges were spoken
tiuronglKHit England, the Anglo-Saxon, which was that of onr Teu-
tonic fare&thers, and consequent] j one of the pure Teutonic dialects,
and the Anglo-Norman^ one of the Neo-Latin fiunily of tongues,
which was hronght in by the Korman conquest. For some time,
these two languages reoiained perfectly distinct, the Ang^Norman
being the only one spoken or understood by the higher classes of
society; ^Hiile the lower dasses, and a great portion of the
intermediate class, used only the Anglo-Saxon. Some only of the
middle dasses, more espedally those engaged in mercantile occu-
pations, were acquainted with both. It was not until the thirteenth
century, when the intercourse between the several classes had become
more intimate, that an intermixture of the two bmguages b^an to
take place, and then all the educated classes appear to hare been well
acquainted with both tongues. From this time forwards, an English
writer, though using the Anglo-Saxon tongue, adopted just as many
Anglo-Norman words as he pleased, — in fact it had assumed the
^ character of a language of two ingredients,. which mi^ht be mixed
together in any proportion, from pure Anglo-Norman (pvre, as r^^g^ds
the derivation of the words) to nearly pure Anglo-Saxon, according
to the class of society for which he wrote. Tj^us, i^Je^ ^ ^^^
middle of the fourteenth century, the language of* Piers Plbaghman,
which was designed for a popular work, contains a-K^mAl^abij amail
ndxtuxe of Anglo-Norman words, while in the xntmg? cf Qiancer,
who was essentially a Court poet, the proportion of the Anglo-
Norman to the Anglo-Saxon is very great. Much of this Anglo-
Norman element was afterwards rejected £rom the English language,
bat mneh was retained, and of course a proportional quantity of Anglo-

Saxon ^ta diBplaced by it. In consequence of this unsettled state of
the English language^ the writers of the ages of change and transition
contain a very large number of words belonging to the Anglo-Saxon
as well as to the Anglo-Norman, which are no longer contained in the
English tongue.
Such was the first process of the formation of the English language.
The limitation of the Anglo-Norman element seems to have taken
place in the fifteenth century, when a considerable portion of the
Anglo-Norman words used by previous English writers were rejected
from the En^ish language, and were never seen in it again. But as
these disappeared, they were succeeded by a new dass of intruders.
The scholastic system of the age of the Eeformation, had caused a
veiy extensiye cultivation and knowledge of the Latin language, and
it is probable that the great mass of the reading public at that time
were almost as well acquainted with Latin as with their own mother
i tongue. In consequence of this universal knowledge of Latin, the
writers of the sixteenth century, without any sensible inconvenience,
used just as many Latin words as they l^ed in writing English,
merely giving them an English grammatical form. The English
language thus became suddenly encumbered with Latin words, until,
at the end of the sixteenth century and beginning of the seventeenth,
the practice of thus using Latin words was carried to such a degree
of pedantie affectation, that it effected its own cure. A popuUr
writer of this period, Samuel Eowlands, in a satirical tract published
in 1611, under the title of " The Knave of Clubbs," has the following
lines upon this fashion, which had at that^ date reached its culmi-
nating point :

A few of these Latin words have held their place in the language,

^onr vriien, from the Utter part of the fifteenth centni^ to the
Bu|iileof theaefeateenth, abound in words adopted from the Latin
I *^ Bodem Eogliah dictionaries do not recognise.
I ^rm these and other eanaes it happens, thai of a rtry large
I potioo of English literatore, one part would be totally nnintelligible
totlie genenJ reader, and the other would present continual diffi-
^ties, vithout a dictionarf especially deroted to the obsolete words
of our laogoage. It is the object of the Tolumes now offered to the
poUic, to famish a compendious and us^ul work of this kind, which
sittil contain the obsolete Anglo-Saxon and An^o-Norman words
osed b^ the English writers of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries,
BttOT of the obsolete Latin words introduced in the sixteenth and
Krentecath centuries, as well as words which haye been adopted
^Dponrilj at various times according to prerailing fashions from
other languages, such as French, Italian, Spanish, or Dutch, or
vbich belonged to sentiments, manners^ customs, habits, and modes,
te hare existed at particular periods and disappeared.
^liere is another class of words, forming at least an intereating
Portum of the English language, and coming especially within the
objects of a work of this kind, those of the prorindal dialects. There
can be no doubt that the peouliar characteristics, or, we may say, the
orgaiuc diSerencea of dialect, are derived more or less from a diversity
of tribe among the Anglo-Saxon settlers in our island; for, as far as
our materials allow us to go, we can trace these diversities in Anglo-
^on times. As, however, during the middle ages, and, in fact,
down to very recent times, the intercommunication between different
parU of the country was very imperfect, progress, of whatever kind
vas by no means uiifocm throughout the kingdom, and we find in
the provincial dialects not only considerable numbers of old Anglo-
Saxon and even Angb-Norman words, which have not been pre-
served in the language of refined society, and which, in many cases, as
iar as regards the Anglo-Saxon, are not even found in the necessarily
imperfect vocabulary of the language in its pure state which we are
enabled to form from its written monuments; but also numerous
words, m general use at a much later period, but which, while they
became obsolete in the Eng^ language generally, have been pre-
served orally in particular districts. The number and character o'

these words is very remarkable, and instances will be oontinnally
found, in the following pages, where a word which is now considered
as peculiarly characteristic of the dialect of some remote district,
occurs as one in general use among the popular, and especially the
dramatic, writers, of the age which followed the Eestoration.
Words of this description are a necessary part of a dictionaiy like
the present, and they have been collected with as much care as possi-
ble. On the other hand, the mere organic differences of dialect, as
well as the differences of orthography in words as found in different
medieval manuscripts and early printed books, have been inserted
sparingly, as belonging rather to a Comparative Grammar or to a phi-
lological treatise, than to a dictionary. In fact, to give this class of
variations fully, would be simply to make a dictionary of each parti-
cular dialect, and of each medieval manuscript, and to combine these
altogether, which could not be done within any moderate limits, and
if done, with regard to the manuscripts especially, the first new
manuscript that turned up would only show its imperfection. It has,
therefore, been considered advisable not to insert mere orthographical
variations of words, unless where they appeared for some reason or
other sufficiently important or interesting. There are, moreover,
certain letters and combinations of letters which are in the older
forms of the English language interchangeable, so that we constantly
find the same word occurring, even in the same manuscript, under
two or three different forms, none of which are to be regarded as
corruptions. To insert all these forms, would be to increase the
dictionary twofold or threefold, for the words in which those letters
occur, without any proportionate advantage; I have therefore in
general given the word only under the form in which it occurs most
usually, or which seems most correct ; but, to facilitate the reference,
I add at the end of this preface a list of the more common inter-
changes of this kind, so that if a word be not found under one form,
it may be sought for under another.
Various and indeed numerous glossaries have been already pub-
lished, both of provincial and of Archaic English, but most of them
have been special rather than general. We may mention among these
the valuable work of Archdeacon Nares, which, however, was de-
voted only to the writers of a particular period ; the extensive undcr-

the nnmerouB gloaaaries of particular dialects, among which one of
the last md best ia that of Northamptonshire by Miss Baker. Tlie

new in its dasa, and that the author had many difficulties to con-
tend with, wfaidi would not, perhaps^ have existed now, was in erery
respeet an extraordinary worL
In compiling the following pages, I haye taken all the adYantage
I eonld honestly of the labours of my predecessors, in addition
to a large quantity of original material which was placed in
my hands, md I have added to this numeroua coUcctions of
my own, especially from the dramatic and popular writers of the
latter half of the seyenteenth century, and of the earlier part of
the eighteenth. I haye also profited by lists of Ibcal words com-
moTiiaited from yarioua parts of the kingdom, and among those who
hare contributed in this maimer, I haye especially to acknowledge
the aeryices of the Key. E. Gillet, of Runham, in Norfolk. To
make soch a work perfect is impossible ; but I hope that, on the
whole, the present will be found one of the most generally useful
works of the kind that has yet appeared.

Abridgement, 8. The word was
used in Shakespere's time (see
Mids. N. D., V, 1) to signify a

from the prevalence of the histo-

of years were so abridged as to
be brought within the compass of
a play. In Hamlet /ix, 2, "Look
where my abridgement comes,"
the sense is doubtful. But in a
subsequent passage Hamlet calls
the players "the abstract, and
brief chronicles of the time."

AcKKB, 1 a. (apparently from ^.-5-

in the early lexicographers I'V
the Latin tii^pefiia mmrU, and is
stated to he that which prr.
cedes the *' flood or flowing.'*
Eagtr, and Higer, are vanatiiinR
of the same term. The follow-
ing extract from MS. Cott. Titus
A., xxiii, f. 49, further explains
the meaning of the word :
Wei know llify therrume xt it aryie.

It appears that the word aekfr
is still applied on the Trent to a
dangerous kind of eddying twirl
which occurs on the river when
it is flooded. In the dialect of

Ajax. Pronounced Ajax (with the
a long.) Sir John Harrington, in
1596, published a celebrated
tract, called "The Metamor-
phosis of Ajas" by which he
meant the improvement of a
jakee, or privy, by forming it into
what we now call a water-eloset,
of which Sir John was clearly tlie
inventor. The book was an of-
fence to delicacy, for wliich Queen
Elizabeth kept him for some time
in disgrace. Probably from this
circumstance, the writers of the
Shakespearian age were coiiti-
nually playing on this name,
by taking it in the sense given
to it by Harrington.

Als-fbast. a mral festival. The
WhiUQB ales are common in
Oxfordshire, and are oondocted
in the following manner : Two
persons are chosen, previously
to tbe meeting, to be lord and
lady of the ale, who dress aa
Buiubly as they can to the cha-
racters they assume. A large
empty bam, or some such build-
ing, is provided for tbe lord's
hall, and fitted up with seats to
accommodate the company.
Here they assemble to dance and
regale in the best manner their
drcumstanoes and the place will
afford; and each young fellow
treats his girl with a riband
or favour. The lord and lady
honour the hall with their pre-
sence, attended by the steward,
sword-bearer, purse-bearer, and
mace-bearer, with their several
badges or ensigns of office. They
have likewise a train-bearer or
page, and a fool or jester, drest
in a psrty-coloured jacket, whose
ribaldry and gesticulation cootri^
bote not a little to the entertain-
ment of some part of the com-
pany. The lord's music, consist-
ing of a pipe and tabor, is em-
ployed to conduct the dance.

place in the centre of it a
wooden peg, four inches long,
with a button balanced on the
top. Buttons, marbles, or any-
thing else, according to agree-
ment, are given for the privilege
of throwing a short stick at the
peg. If the button fly out of
the ring, the player is entitled
to double the stipulated value of
what he gives for the stick. The
game is also practised at races,
and other places of amusement,
with three pegs, which are put
into three circular holes, made in
the ground, about two feet apart,
and forming a triangle. In this
case each hole contains a peg,
about nine inches long, upon
which are deposited either a small
knife or some copper.

ANTiMA8au£, t. A contrast to the
principal matgue, a ridiculoas
interlude, dividing the parts of
the more serious masque. It
appears to have been distinguish-
ed by extravagance, and was
usually performed by actors hired
from the theatres ; whereas the
masque itself was more usually
acted by ladies and gentlemen.
It resembled the exodia of the
Romans.
Let anti-maiki not be long, therbave
been commonly of fools, tatyrt, baT)oons,
wild men, mntique*, beasts, spirits,
witches, Ethiops, pigmies, turquets,
nymphs, rustics, cupids, statnas moving,
and the like. As for angels, it is not
comical enough to put tnem in mUi-
maths ; and aiiy thing that is hideous, as
devils, giants, 'is on the other side as
unfit. But chiefly let t^e mnsick of
them be recreative, and wiih strange
changes. Some sweet odours suddenly
coming forth, without any drops falling,
are in such a company, as there is steam
and heat, things of great pleasure and
refreshment. JJocom, Bs$oiy 87.

Barbican, 1 «. When the siege
barbecan, v of a castle was an-
BARBACAN,J ticipatcd, the de-
fenders erected wooden pal-
ing and other timlier work in
advance of the entrance gateway,
assuming often the form of a
small fortress, where they ooold
hold the enemy at bay for some
time before it was necessary to
defend the gate itself; and they
also placed wood-work before the
windovrs, which protected those
who were shooting out of them.
Either of these was called r
barbican, a word which, and
therefore probably the practice,
was derived from the Arabic. The
advanced work covering the
gateway was afterwards made
of stone, and thus became per-
manent. When the old system
of defending fortresses went out
of use, the original meaning of
the word was forgotten, and the
way in which the word was used
in the older writers led to some
confusion. It is explained by
Spelman: ''A fort, hold, or
munition placed in the front of
a castle, or an out-work. Also a
hole in the wall of a city or cas-
tie, through which arrows or
darts were cast; also a watch-
tower." The temporary wooden
defences on the top of the walls

The couple condemned to this
division were to catch the others,
who advanced from the two ex-
tremities; when this had been
effected, a change of situation
took place, and hell was filled by
the couple who were excluded
by prc-occiipstion from the other
places. By the regulations of the
game, the middle couple were
not to separate before they bad
aucceeded, while the others might
break hands whenever they found
themselves hard pressed. When
all had been taken in turn, the
last couple were said to be in
hell, and the game ended.

BLowv.RBBRtifO. " In some parts
of England they are called bknUed
herrmfftf and the term occurs in
several of our writers about Elisa-
beth's day, but not, I believe, in
Shakespeare. The word bloatod
is a confirmation of the above
conjecture as to the origin of
Mnm, being merely another form
of the word, but not so appHcable.
We sometimes see and hear hhwmf
bloated, and puffed «p, in neariy
the same sense. I have heard
our blown-herrings called bawen
herrings, and bone-herrings, but
never any good reason for so
calting them. Hottn is another
sense of blown or puflTed np,
but never applied to a herring.
Since the al>ove was written, X
have seen (October, 1823) in a
shop in Great Russell Street, a
parcel of ^^oira-herrings ticketed
' fine Yarmouth bloaters/ 1824,
in the autumn of this year, bear-
ing the blown or bown herrings
cried in Woodbridge by the name
of Tow Bowen herrings, I learned
on enquiry that it is a common

as it will heat a person in cold weather ;
but I mtut own as for my own choice, a
little good strong beer when thirsty is
much more aereeable than any dram j
and therefore I cannot blame that man'
conduct, who having n>t a bottle of
ttmHbus bv him, invited his oeif hbonr
to take a dxam of it, and immediately
sent for a full pot of beer and scor'd it
to him in lieu of his dram. I cannot

dram had been such a fool as to have
