A DICTIONARY

OF

ARCHAIC AND PROVINCIAL WORDS,

Obsolete Phrases, Proverbs, and Ancient Customs,

FROM THE REIGN OF EDWARD I.

BY J. O. HALLIWELL, ESQ., F.R.S., F.S.A.

This work, which has occupied the Editor some years, is now completed; it contains above 50,000 words (embodying all the known scattered glossaries of the English language), forming a complete key for 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.
