It hasproved in practice to be very difficult in many cases to determinewhether a word or sense is to be considered to have disappeared fromthe living language;one is naturally inclined to err on the side ofinclusion;but I hope that not much that is superfluous will be found.On the other hand,I am not so foolishly confident as to suppose thatthere are no omissions.  Words or senses may have been excludedwhich to others may seem to require explanation;and no doubt I havebeen guilty of other omissions through inadvertence.It is,of course,the duty of a compiler to make no omissions;but perhaps some indul-gence may be extended to one dealing single-handed with a vocabularyso extensive,and often differing so subtly from that of to-day.I canonly hope that not much that is of importance will be sought for invain.The distinction between Shakespearean and modern usage impliedin the inclusion of some words and senses may appear to some to beminute;but such distinctions have their interest and their effect on themeaning;and they are,of course,just those which are most apt to beoverlooked.In pursuance of my design to register all words no longerV  \n# PREFACE\n\nforming part of the language,I have included a certain number,such asingrateful,livery(vb.),neglection,unsatiate,the meanings of which areevident,but which have become obsolete.  \nQuotations as well as references to the text have throughout beenappended to the definitions.In the case of a work of this nature merereferences are of little service,as,apart from the trouble and loss oftime involved in referring to the text,there cannot,if references onlyare given,be the same facility of comparison,and of seeing how theuse of a word in one passage throws light on its use in another,as isafforded by the passages being exhibited to the eye together.It hasnot been possible to make the references and quotations exhaustive;and in the cases of words and senses of frequent occurrence I haveaccordingly generally limited myself to three or four.Where not morethan two are given it may,as a rule,be assumed that there are no otherclear examples of the use.  \nThe references are to the Globe edition,and for the quotationsthat text has been used.In printing the quotations the only deviationfrom the Globe text which I have allowed myself,in addition to a fewmentioned in the body of the work,is the omission of the apostrophe ingenuine aphetic forms such as gin,gree,long,and in a(=he).In a fewcases,where a portion only of a sentence has been quoted,it has beennecessary slightly to modify the punctuation.I have found that laterissues of the Globe differ somewhat from the first issue,and haverecorded one or two such differences which I have noticed.  \nThe Works are cited substantially as in Schmidt's Lexicon.A tableof the contractions used,which for the most part explain themselves,isappended.Small numerals attached to leading words indicate that thewords so distinguished,although identical in form,differ in origin.  \nThe following words have not,as a rule,been considered to fallwithin the scope of the undertaking—(1)Latin words and words inforeign languages;(2)the blunders and perversions of the illiteratech","cbCaisMLTNVINe7X","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisMLTNVINe7X","pdf",28831935,364,"English","# Preface\n## Purpose and scope\n## Selection of words and senses\n## Quotations and references","[{\"question\":\"What is the book’s main aim according to the preface?\",\"answer\":\"To examine and define concisely the constituents of the language in the Shakespeare Canon as they have passed into modern speech.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the author handle inclusion or omission of obsolete words and senses?\",\"answer\":\"He tries to exclude words and senses no longer in good literary use, but acknowledges that determining whether a sense has disappeared is difficult and that omissions may still occur.\"},{\"question\":\"Which edition does the book use for references and quotations?\",\"answer\":\"References are to the Globe edition, and the quotations use that text, with limited deviations described in the preface.\"}]","A NEW SHAKESPEAREAN DICTIONARY - Preface | PDF",1790886974,561]
