Front matter

In the original book, shorter entries—chiefly cross-references—were printed two or three to a line. They have been separated for this e-text. To avoid empty cross-references, a few entries, clearly identified, were restored from the first edition.

All [brackets], asterisks* and question marks? are in the original.

For general information on using the Dictionary, and an explanation of the different types of underlining, see the Transcriber’s Notes at the end of this file. In the body of the Dictionary, italics and boldface are as in the original. The New English Dictionary (NED) is now known as the Oxford English Dictionary (OED).
