A DICTIONARY of ARCHAIC and PROVINCIAL WORDS, Obsolete Phrases, Proverbs, and Ancient Customs, from the Reign of Edward I. by JAMES ORCHARD HALLIWELL, F.R.S.F.S.A. &c.

It contains above 50,000 Words (embodying all the known scattered glossaries of the English Language), forming a complete key to the reader of the works of our old Poets, Dramatists, Theologians, and other authors whose works abound with allusions, of which explanations are not to be found in ordinary dictionaries and books of reference.  Most of the principal Archaisms are illustrated by examples selected from early inedited MSS, and rare books, and by far the greater portion will be found to be original authorities.

“To those who wish to possess a critical knowledge of their own native English, some acquaintance with Anglo-Saxon is indispensable; and we have never seen an introduction better calculated than the present to supply the wants of a beginner in a short space of time.  The declensions and conjugations are well stated, and illustrated by references to the Greek, Latin, French, and other languages.  A philosophical spirit pervades every part.  The Delectus consists of Short pieces, on various subjects, with extracts from Anglo-Saxon History and the Saxon Chronicle.  There is a good glossary at the end.”—­Athenaeum, Oct. 20. 1849.
