 PREFACE. 
 
 IjANGUage, like every thing bumaii, has ilsT 
 rise, progress, and decline. In the earlier stages 
 ef society, when maja's wants are comparatively 
 few, his vocabulary is small; as civilization 
 encreases, his language extends, till fastidious- 
 ness of taste introducing false ornament, it de- 
 clines, and gives place to a more vigorous suc- 
 cessor. Such, at least, has been the brief his- 
 tory of what Europeans term the learned lan- 
 guages. Modern tongues have not been more 
 stable. Neither Italian, French, or English are 
 BOW what they were some centuries ago. By 
 the adoption of new words and phrases, by the 
 ^Itsralion of spelling and construction, whicU

 sliglit comparison of the authors of ihe dif- 
 ferent periods alluded to, will make ptrftclly 
 evident, these variotK languages have siifler- 
 ed alterations, which we term improvements, 
 and antiqnarians blemishes, but which hare 
 at any rate very materially changed their ap- 
 pearance. 
 
 These changes haTe taken place in langua- 
 ' ges possessing every advantage requisite for 
 ensuring stability. They had standards to 
 which they could appeal in cases of doubt, ei- 
 ther with regard to ihe construction of a sen- 
 tence, the purity of a_phra8e, or the meaning 
 of a word ; they were the written languages of 
 the most polite authors ; they were spoken in 
 courts, and in public assemblies ; they were 
 the languages of the bar and the theatre ; yet, 
 notwithstanding, the nunaber of obsolete ex- 
 pressions are infinitely greater than what one 
 would be apt to imagine, without examination, 
 and not a few words have undergone a CQin- 
 plete alteration in their siguiEcations. 
 
 To guard against the effects of time, literary 
 academies in Italy and France endeavoured to 
 fix the boundaries of their respective languages 
 by nalioaal dictionaries, and Dr Johnson ah?ne
 
 PREFACE. Vit 
 
 iiiulerlook tlis gigantic task for his native 
 tongue. Till lately, liowcYer, nothing deser- 
 ving the name of a Dictionary of the Scottish 
 l^anguage existed. Xhis stupendous work has 
 been lately executed by Dr Javiesdn, who, 
 with steady arduur, and indefatigable industry, 
 has broughi to completion au undei taking, the 
 utility of which can only be estimated by phi- 
 lological students -its labour by those vv'i)o have 
 engaged in similav pursuits. With this last 
 the following Dictionary does not at all ii:ter- 
 fere, as its plau is entirely diisinilar. Its ob- 
 ject is not to trace the origin of the Scottish 
 language, it is merely to -jxplain the significa- 
 tion, and to enable the general reader to un- 
 derstand the meaning, of the words, without 
 attempting to search after th^- derivation ; to 
 enter into the spirit of an author who uses the 
 Scuttitth tongue ; and to rolisb his humour with- 
 out enquiriiig v/hether the ianguas^f in which it 
 is conveyed be of Celtic or Gothic origin. 
 
 The union of the two crowns, and afterwards 
 ef the two kingdoms, of Sootland ami EtigUnd, 
 destroyed the nationality of the Scott isl> lan- 
 guage. "When first the court, and afjtcrwa; ds

 traction to our nobility, and to all those fVoin 
 whom the language of a country receives lis 
 tone ; the natural consequence speedily fol- 
 lowed ; puiily of the Scottish language was no 
 longer altendtd to ; and .from that era may be 
 drtled the decline of this ancient tongue. The 
 auihors uho had written in it were neglected, 
 and it censed to be used, either in elegant li- 
 terature, in conversation, or in business, among 
 the higher ranks. It became Ternacular chiefly 
 among the middling and lower classes; and, 
 hastening fast to oblivion, was cherished and 
 preserved only by the fondness of her native 
 bards, who poured forth their enraptured lays 
 •in the expressive language of their beloved 
 country, which, by being joined to the melodies 
 of Scolbmd, the original music and language 
 gave and received nuitual suppoi t. Researches, 
 however, into Scottish history and literature, 
 and the publication of old MSS. togetJier with 
 t!ie rej)ublicalion of several of our ancient au- 
 thors, had lately contributed to rescue a know- 
 ledge of the Scotti^h from the charge of vul- 
 garity, and render it a more general attain- 
 ment, when the appearance of several works 
 of amusement, in which this language was li- 
 berally employed, contriliuled to render it still 
 more frtshionabie ; naJ as, they were not even
 
 Eecompaiiied with a glossary, their popularity 
 suggested the idea of publishing a Scottish 
 Dictionary, in a cotiveijient foim, which niiglit 
 serve as a key to these and similar works. 
 
 This has been attempted in the following 
 Dictionary, in which it is hoped no word cf 
 a.iy importance is omitted. Many, v\hich to 
 Scottish ears may appear trivial, have been 
 inserted, because the circulation of this work 
 T%as not intended lo be confined merely to one 
 side of the Tweed, and many of the words in 
 common use here, and well understood, might 
 be lotai'iv unintelligible in England or Ireland. 
 Kvery one knows how often the point of a wit- 
 ticism may be lost, and the hamour of a joke 
 fkstroyed, by the misunderstanding of a single 
 vcovd. 
 
 The Scots, as a people, have been accused of 
 wanting a perception of the humourous in com- 
 position, and incapable of producing or enjoy- 
 ing it. This accusation could only obtain ere- 
 dence among persons unacquainted equally 
 with the writings and the language of Scots- 
 men. In the older Scottish writers, there arc 
 innumerable str)kes of genuine humour whici 
 are liwt to a modern reader, as these v\orks
 
 seldom possess the ailvanta.i<p even of a pai lial. 
 j;lossaiy, and he hus no dictionary to consult. 
 The more modern authors, Ramsay, Fcrgusson, 
 and Burns, are remarkable ibr iheir powers of 
 )iuniourous descrij)tion ; but the glossaries with 
 which they are commonly accompanied never 
 extend beyond the explanation of the local 
 phj'ases which occur in the works to which 
 they are. attached; and are besides exceeding- 
 ly defective even iu explaining them, the com- 
 jiiiers having taken loo much for grajited, and 
 because they themselves understood the more 
 common words u«cd by the Scottish peasantry, 
 have fallen into an error destructive of the sole 
 end of a dictionary,— that of supposing their 
 readers eqirally well acqirainted with them. 
 This defe€t will be supplied by the following 
 "Work, which may be always at hand as a book 
 cf reference, even for .the signification of the 
 Biost trifling word. 
 
 It was naturally to be expected, that in a 
 language situated as the Scottish hasr been foj^ 
 the last two centuries, the same word would 
 acquire different significations in different parts 
 of the kingdom ; and it has so happened, that 
 sometimes the s^ame word has variety of mean- 
 ing:-, and of modts of sptl'iug, as it is us**} io.
