Riassunto

Excerpt from Manipulus Vocabulorum: A Rhyming Dictionary of the English Language

N OT very long ago the reprinting of an old English Dic tionary would have been considered absurd, but now the great value of these works has become more fully recognized. They are the rocks in which the old words of our language are found fossilized, and until these books are brought completely within our reach, the publication of the Dictionary of Early English, which we all so much desire to see, must be postponed. A Dictionary arranged according to endings is especially likely to contain a number of words which are otherwise unregistered, for the rhyme must have naturally brought to the recollection of the compiler many words of frequent use in conversation, which had not found their way into books.
