 PREFACE. • 
 
 The present publication may be considered as the foundation-stone of the 
 Historical and Literary portion of the Philological Society's proposed Eng- 
 lish Dictionary. Its appearance in a separate form has been necessitated 
 by the nature of the scheme, on which that work i8 being constructed. 
 Without entering into details, which will be found in the Society's published 
 Prospectus,* it will be suflB.cient for the present purpose to mention, that the 
 raw material of the Dictionary, the words and authorities, are being brought 
 together by a number of independent collectors, for whom it is consequently 
 necessary to provide some common standard of comparison, whereby each 
 may ascertain what he is to extract, and what to reject, from the author, or 
 work, he has undertaken. This standard for works of earlier date than 1526 
 is furnished by the following pages, which contain an alphabetical inventory 
 of every word found in the printed English literature of the I3th century. 
 As, however, a mei'e index verborum would but inadequately fulfil its object, 
 a certain amount of explanatory and etymological matter has been added, 
 which it is hoped may render the work more generally interesting and useful 
 than could otherwise have been the case. It is only proper to add that Eng- 
 lish literature, as distinguished from Semi-Saxon, is assumed to commence 
 about the middle of the 13th century. 
 
 All words are arranged under their modern forms, where such exist, but 
 the older forms, except where utterly unimportant, are always noticed. The 
 more remarkable of these older forms are also entered in the Glossary in their 
 alphabetical order, with cross references to that under which the word is dis- 
 cussed. Thus under 'Hymn' and 'Isle' will be found the forms 'ympne' 
 and ' ydle ;' but 'ympne ' and 'ydle ' appear also in their proper places in the

Glossary. Obsolete words are of course entered as they are spelt in the pas- 
 sage whence they are taken, a rule which applies as much to different forms 
 of the same word, as to different words. As to the etymological matter, 
 nothing further as a general rule has been attempted than to indicate the 
 nearest cognate, or cognates, of the particular word ; but it has not been 
 thought necessary, or desirable, to load the Glossary with illustrations of this 
 nature in very simple cases. I have to thank Hensleigh Wedgwood, Esq., 
 for many kind and valuable suggestions in this part of my work. 
 
 My best thanks are also due to the Eev. J. Eastwood, the Rev. W. H. 
 Herford, to my colleague Mr F. J. Eurnivall, and to Messrs M'Ewan and Har- 
 rison, for their valuable assistance in the formation of separate indexes to 
 several of the works comprised in this Glossary. Their respective shares in 
 the work are pointed out in the List of Books and Editions, which will be 
 found in page v. 
 
 And I cannot terminate this brief preface without expressing my deep 
 sense of the obligations I am under to Sir E. Madden, not merely for the help 
 of his invaluable editions of Ls^amon and Havelok, without which this work 
 would have been far less complete than it now is, but also for much kind per- 
 sonal advice and assistance, which probably few, if any, living philologists 
 beside himself would have been competent to bestow. It only remains for me 
 to add that, although no pains have been spared to render the book as com- 
 plete as possible, I cannot but expect that some omissions and errors will be 
 discovered, more especially as the largest and most laborious portion of the 
 work was carried on during a long period of ill health. I shall feel very 
 grateful to those who discover any addenda, if they will kindly communicate 
 them to me for insertion hereafter in the Dictionary itself.

 (Owing to the gross inaccuracy of the marginal numbering in the 
 printed edition of this poem, it has been found necessary to go over the 
 whole afresh, and to cite according to the amended reckoning. The fol- 
 lowing data will assist the reader : — The first error occurs in page 64, 
 where the line nu.mbered 1280 should be 1282. The second occurs in 
 page 100, where ten lines are dropped, and 1961 is printed for 1973, the 
 true number. The third will be found in page 110, where 2049 is made 
 to succeed 2139, and after this, of course, the confusion is hopeless. The 
 exact number of lines in the poem is 2515, while the printed numbers 
 give only 2398. Readers are therefore requested to renumber their 
 copies from page 64 onwards, before attempting to verify the references 
 in the Glossary.) 
 
 The following pieces will be printed in the second part of the Philological 
 Society's Transactions for 1858, and are therefore included in the Grlossary. 
 I am indebted to the kindness of my friend and colleague, Mr Eurnivall, for 
 the loan of his transcripts.

 (Hickes printed Exti^acts from this Ode, in his Thesaurus, vol. I. p.
