A DICTIONARY of ARCHAIC and PROVINCIAL WORDS, Obsolete Phrases,
Proverbs, and Ancient Customs, from the Reign of Edward I. by JAMES
ORCHARD HALLIWELL, F.R.S.F.S.A. &c.

It contains above 50,000 Words (embodying all the known scattered
glossaries of the English Language), forming a complete key to 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.

ANGLO-SAXON.--A DELECTUS in ANGLO-SAXON, intended as a First Class-book
in the Language. By the Rev. W. BARNES, of St. John's College,
Cambridge, Author of the Poems and Glossary in the Dorset Dialect. 12mo.
cloth, 2s. 6d.

"To those who wish to possess a critical knowledge of their own native
English, some acquaintance with Anglo-Saxon is indispensable; and we
have never seen an introduction better calculated than the present to
supply the wants of a beginner in a short space of time. The declensions
and conjugations are well stated, and illustrated by references to the
Greek, Latin, French, and other languages. A philosophical spirit
pervades every part. The Delectus consists of Short pieces, on various
subjects, with extracts from Anglo-Saxon History and the Saxon
Chronicle. There is a good glossary at the end."--_Athenæum_, Oct. 20.
1849.
