Excerpt from The Student's Dictionary of Anglo-Saxon Saxon lexicography. I had hardly begun to work steadily at this dictionary when a Concise anglo-saxon Dictionary was brought out by Dr. Clark Hall (ch), an American scholar. CH is a work of great industry, and contains a good deal of new and valuable matter; but it is terribly uncritical, and embodies an enormous number of spurious words and meanings. I have already said that this dictionary was undertaken as an abridgement of bt. But BT consists really of two fragments of dictionaries. The first part (a-fir), for which Bosworth alone is responsible, is far inferior to the succeeding portions of the work, which have been edited by Prof. Toller: these show a great and progressive improvement in fullness, accuracy and method. I have, of course, throughout checked and supplemented ET by the other dictionaries and glossaries -including my own glossaries to the anglo-saxon Reader and Oldest English d104s - and by a ms. Dictionary of my own, begun many years ago, when I had scarcely emerged from boyhood. CH has also been of considerable service, as he gives references for many of the rarer words. But the labour of testing these, and separating the grains of wheat from the mass of chaff, has been great, and has materially retarded my progress. I have also found time to gather a good deal of fresh material from the texts themselves. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This is a reproduction of the original book published in 1911. Cover design is by wisdombooks.faith This dictionary was undertaken at the request of the Delegates of the Clarendon Press, who, feeling the want of an abridgement of the large Anglo-Saxon dictionary (BT) still in progress, applied to me. From a variety of reasons I felt myself obliged to undertake the work. As the book was wanted as soon as possible, with a view to forestalling unauthorized abridgements, I could only under take to do my best within a limited space and a limited period. Every dictionary is necessarily a compromise. If done ideally well and on an adequate scale, it is never finished - and an unfinished dictionary is worse than useless - or, if finished, is never uniform as regards materials and treatment. A dictionary which is good from a practical point of view - that is, which is finished within a reasonable time, and is kept within reasonable limits of space - must necessarily fall far short of ideal requirements. In short, we may almost venture on the paradox that a good dictionary is necessarily a bad one. Sources. - When I first began this work all the existing Anglo-Saxon dictionaries were completely antiquated. The old Bosworth is an uncritical compilation, which falls far short of the scientific requirements even of the period of its first publication. Ettmuller's Lexicon Anglosaxonicum is far superior as regards accuracy and fullness, but its unhappy arrangement of the words under hypothetical roots makes it practically useless to the beginner. Leo's Angel-sachsisches Glossar combines the faults of both its predecessors with a recklessness in inventing new forms and meanings which is without a parallel even in Anglo-Saxon lexicography. I had hardly begun to work steadily at this dictionary when a Concise Anglo-Saxon Dictionary was brought out by Dr. Clark Hall (CH), an American scholar. CH is a work of great industry, and contains a good deal of new and valuable matter; but it is terribly uncritical, and embodies an enormous number of spurious words and meanings.
