There will also be other points that need revision,but which cannot plead thisexcuse:mistakes and omissions,to some extent,are almost inevitable.Revision requiredunder one or other head will be attempted in a supplement,which will be prepared as soonas possible.  \nIn the course of the work some alterations have been made in the plan adopted byDr.Bosworth.One of the dificulties connected with the cataloguing of English wordspreserved in works written before IIoo is due to the variety of forms which a word may takeaccording to the time at which,or the locality in which,the MS.where it occurs was written.The Old-English specimens are scattered over centuries,and belong to different parts ofEngland;naturally the form of a word is not always the same in the earlier and in the laterspecimen of the same locality,or in the contemporary specimens of different localities.Inthe earlier part of the Dictionary the different forms of a word are given separately,in thelater part they are collected under a single form;e.g.in the former case words having themutation of ed may appear under each of the forms which the varieties of that mutation(é,i,,页)admit of,in the latter one form alone (2)is given.Slight alterations,too,will be foundnoted in the list of references.  \nWith regard to the marks used to distinguish difference in the vowels it may be noticedthat cá,cb are employed inall cases where the short ea,eo are not meant,e.g scecp,Goth①skóp,has the same symbols as lebf,Goth.liubs,etc.  \nMy thanks are due to Professor Skeat for the readiness which he has always shown toanswer an appeal for help in a dificulty;to Professor Kluge and to Professor Heyne forvery helpful criticism of the earlier parts of the Dictionary.To the former I am indebted notonly for pointing out omissions,but for the assistance he has given in remedying them.Hevery.kindly sent me a copy of the glosses cited under the abbreviation Germ.,and furthergave the Delegates of the University Press the opportunity,wh","cbCairvbeiZoXPVH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairvbeiZoXPVH","pdf",1378166,24,"English","# Preface\n## Additions and need for revision\n## Changes to the editorial plan and word forms\n## Vowel marking conventions and editorial notes\n## Acknowledgements and concluding remarks","[{\"question\":\"Why are additions and revisions needed in the later parts of the dictionary?\",\"answer\":\"The preface explains that the earlier preliminary notice noted incomplete manuscript coverage, and that later manuscripts still required substantial additional work.
