INTRODUCTION.

H E Faculty of Speech, which makes fo confi-
derable a Difference between a Man and a Brute^
is of excellent Ufe, as it renders Mankind,
convertible one with another, and as the various
Natural Endowments, Obfervations, Experiences
and Attainments of every individual Man, are
hereby with a wonderful Facility mutually com-
municated. And we may add to this the Invention of Letters, by
Means of which we are not confln'd within the narrow Limits
of our Acquaintance and Contemporaries, but one Man may be
acquainted with the Attainments of Multitudes of the wifeft Men
in Prefent and Ancient Times, and either in his own or re-
mote Countries. Words are thofe Channels, by which the Know-
ledge of Things is convey'd to our Underftandings : And therefore
upon a right Apprehenfion of them depends the Re&itude of our
Notions ; and in order to form our Judgments right, they muft
be underftood in their proper Meaning, and us'd in their true
Senfe, either in Writing or Speaking. For if the Words of the
Speaker or Writer, though ever fo appoiue to the Matter, be ta-
ken in a wrong Senfe, they form erroneous Ideas in the Mind
concerning the Thing fpoken o*r written of; and if we ufe Words
in a falfe and improper Senfe, this caufes Confufion in the Under-
(landing of the Hearer, and renders the Difcourfe unintelligible.

It ought, therefore, to be the fpecial Care and Study of every
one, who would have his Mind furnifhed with the ufeful Know-
ledge of Things of any Kind, to get a True and Diftincl Idea of
the proper Senfe and Meaning of Words, and Terms of Art,
in which they are exprels'd, without which no good Progrefc
can be made.

It has therefore been the univerfal Practice of all polite Na-
tions, to make the Study of Letters the firft Bufinefs of Life.
And becaufe this Accomplifhment is neceflary to all Perfons, and

Learned commonly borrow 'Technical Words, or Words of Art ;

If it be' efteem'd more Elegant or Fine in Pronunciation, then
Coiirtkrs, who are apt to diflikeany thing that is common, and the
Producl of their own Country, and to delight in what is Foreign,
borrow a great many Words of Complaifance and Addreft.

Now that from thefe three Caufes in general, the Ancient Lan-
guage of Britain is changed from what it originally was, and come
to be what now it is, will plainly appear from thefe Confiderations.

Firji, the Ancient Language of Britain is generally allow'd to
have been the fame with the Gaulic or French, (this Ifland in Proba-
bility having been firft peopled from Gallia) as both Ceefar and Taci-
tus affirm, and prove by many ftrong and conclufive Arguments, as
by their Religion, Manners, Cuftoms, and the Nearnefs of their Si-
tuation. But now we have very fmall Remains of the Ancient
Brift/h Tongue left in England, except in Wales and Cornwall ;
which will not appear ftrange, when what follows is confidered.

Julius C,cfar fome Time before the Birth of our Saviour, in the
time of K\n%CaJfiveIaae, made a Defcent upon England, though he
rather difcovered it, than made a Conqueft of it ; but about the Year
of. Chrift 45, in the Time of Claudius, Aulus Plautius was fent
over with fome Roman Forces, by whom and P. Oftorius Scapula,
Codigunus and Cara&acus, two Kings of the Britain*, were feve-
rally overcome in Battle. A Roman Colony was planted at Mai-
don in EJJ'cx, and the Southern Parts thereof reduced to the Form
of zRoman Province ; and after that the Whole was conquered, as
far as to the Friths of Dumbarton and Edinburgh by Agricola in the
Time of Domitian ; and the Remains of the unconquered Britains
retired to the Weft Part, called Wales, carrying their Language
with them over the Mountains, where they have preferved it to
this Day.

'Britain being thus become a Roman Province, though ftill faf-
fered to be governed by Kings of its own, as Vice-Roys under the
Roman Emperours, the Roman Legions refiding in Britain, for the
Space of above two hundred Years, undoubtedly diffeminated the
Latin Tongue ; and the People, being alfo governed by Laws writ-
ten in Latin, muft neceiFarily make a Mixture of Languages.
This feems to have bten the firft Mutation the Language of Bri-
tain fuffefed : However, fo tenacious were our Forefathers of
their native Language, that it over-grew the Roman.

By thcfe Infhnces it does appear that the Englijh Saxon Lan-

jBcauties, was Significant and Emphatical, and preferable to
: they impofcd upon us.

This may fuffice for the Mutation of our Language upon
the iirlt Cuafe of it, which was Conqueft : I now proceed to the
other Two.

Secondly, As to Commerce, the Britain! having been of a long"
Time al fading Nation, as it generally happens, we have had ma-
ny Words introduced by that Means ; and befides, Britain having
been a confiderable Time under Subjection to the See of Rome
in Ecclcfuilical Affairs, the Italians coming over hither to ma-
nage the Pope's Concerns, and others for Church Dignities,
and many Britain: going hence to Rome on Account of Ec-
:tical Suits, Priefthoods, Abbacies, and Bifhopricks, muft
unavoidably introduce fome Italian Words among us.

•rJly, As to the particular Properties of a Language, our

Tongue h one no final 1 Mutation, or rather has receiv-

ed no final 1 Improvement upon that Account; for as 'to the

Creek and Latin, the Learned have together with the Arts and

With the Greek and Latin.

Yet is not this, I think, any Difparagement to the Englifh
Tongue as now fpoke, (for this Change is nothing but what all
Languages have been liable to, and alfo have undergone, and do in-
terchangeably participate each with other, have likewiie enfranchi-
fed many Words from the Latin and Greek, though perhaps not fo
many as we) but it rather makes to the Advantage of its Character,
for by this Tranfplanting Foreign Words into our Native Soil,
and new forming them, we have enrich'd it, that now it is become
the moft: Copious and Significant Language in Europe, if not in
the World.

" Thus Camden faid of it in his Time, That though he would
" not f.iy, the Englijh Tongue was as Sacred as the Hebrew, or
" as Learned as the Greek, yet that it was as Fluent as the Latin,
•l as Courteous as the Spanijh, as Courtlike as the French, and as
" Amorous as the Italian ; fo that being beautified and inriched
" out of other-Tongues, partly by enfranchizing and indenizen-
" ing Foreign Words, partly by implanting New ones with art-
" ful Compofition, our Tongue is as Copious, Pithy and Signifi-
" cative, as any other in Europe.

" And Dr. Heylin fays of it, That whereas the Englijb Tongue
u is a Compound of Latin, French, Dutch, &c. it rather adds to
11 its Perfection, than detracts any thing from its Worth, fince
" out of every Language we have culled the moft fignificant
" Words, and equally participate of what is excellent in them,
" their Imperfections being rejected, For it is neither fo boifte-
:c rous as the Dutch, nor fo effeminate as the French, yet as fig-
u nincant as the Latin, and in the happy Conjunction of two or
" more Words in one little inferiour to the Greek,

If then the EngliJJj Tongue, in the Opinion of thefe learned
Authors, deferved this Character in their Time, how much more
now, having fince received fo confiderable Improvements from
fo many celebrated Writers.

Having given this Short Account, by what Steps and Grada-
tions the Englijh Tongue is arriv'd to be what it now is, I {hall
proceed to give a Brief Account of the Method I have taken in
the following Work.

It is not my Defign to depreciate the Labours of thofe worthy
Authors, whofe Writings of this kind have faved me much Pains,

INTRODUCTION.

I (hall only fay, as facile eft inventis adderc, in perufing the beft
Books of this Kind cxt. IK, I have found in them both a Redun-
dancy and Deficiency, the former of which I have omitted to make
room for the latter, having inriched it with feveral 1000 En-
:id Phrafes, in no Lnglijb Dictionary before extant.

As for the Etymological Part, or thofe Words from Foreign
Languages, whence the Englijh Words were deiiv'd, 1 think I am
the firrt who has attempted it in Englijb, except what Mr. Blunt
has done in his GloJJ'ogr. ich is but a very fmall Part, and

thofe of a Latin Derivation chiefly, betides a fmall Extract of Dr.
Skinner's ::on.

However, I fhall not enlarge at prcfcnt upon the Ufefulnefs
of that P:;rt, fuppoling that fuch Perfons whoundcrlbnd the Lan-
guages need no fuch Information ; and as in them, which do nor,
the Etymological Part is feparated fo diftin&Iy from the Reft,
being inclofed within Crotchets, that they may pals it over with-
out any manner of Trouble or Inconvenience.

In order to the more eafy apprehending the Method I have
taken, I (hall give the following Account.

In thofc Words of a Northern Derivation, I have generally

the SJXM Word firft; from whence the EngMh Word in

all Probability was deriv'd, and afterwards the Tentoxic, Danijh^

and /. ', where I have found them in the fame or a co-

gnate Signification.

.Vords, for which no Saxon Words are to be found,

en the Teutonic, Lo-w Dittcb^ Danijh, or others, where

they arc to be found of the fame or a like Signification, though it

is very probable they came to us immediately from the Saxon

nc, but the FewneG of the Books we have now left in the

Saxon Language docs not furniih us, with thetn, and m as much as

. that the Exgli/h Saxon is no other than a Dialed of

the ancient Tf*tomct it appears the more probable.

fords derived from the Southern Languages, I have fet
rhc French^ and afterwards frequently the Italian and Sfa-
• ;em in the fame or a like Signification, and

?en the French if they have them, then the Latin, and afterwards
the Greek, from whence they generally proceeded.

5. In many Words of a Latin or Greek Original, not properly
Terms of Art : I have likewife in the firft Place fee the French, af-
terwards the Latin and Greek, fo far complying with thofe who
are of Opinion, that we have them immediately, or in the firft Place
from the French; though I cannot intirely give into that Notion,
for Reafons which will appear in fome of the following Articles.

6. Thus much in the General, but more particularly, as for
thofc Words which the French have very near in Spelling, and
alib the Latin, I have fet down the French firft, and after the
Latin, from which they were deriv'd.

7 . In Nouns, efpecially thofe that end in ion, as Salvation, Ge-
neration, &c. which are evidently deriv'd from the Latin, to avoid
the Swelling of the Book, by fetting down the Latin and French
Words. I have put F. of L. at the End of the Paragraph, which
iignifies the Words, Generation, Salvation, &c. areas Well French
as Englijh literally,' which come of the Latin, Sahatio, Genera-
tio, &c. and differ only by the Addition of n at the End.

8. In other Nouns, where the Englijh Word is pure Latin, and
the French differs in Spelling, in fome Letter or Letters, as Au-
thor, L. Autbeur, F. I have fet the French within a Crotchet,
aiidL. at the End, which denotes the Word to be literally Latin.

9. In many Adje-ttives in ive, as coxclufivc, &c. which are not
found in Latin Dictionaries, though they might be Analogically
formed, as well as the Adverb conclxfae, \ have omitted to fet
L. at the End.

:

10. In Adjectives and Participles, I have omitted to fet down
the French, becaufe it appears plain to me, they were derivM of
the Latin, than the French, as Defolate, of £>(folatus, L. rather
than Defile, F. This may fuffice for Che Reft.

11. As to Verbs, I have for the moft Part fet down the Latin
Supines, as the Words from which the Englijh are immediately de-
riv'd, rather than the Infinitive Moods, efpecially thofe of the
third Conjugation in Latin, becaufe nearer in the Spelling, as to
colletf, from Colledum, Supine, rather than CoIHgere, Infinitive,
for the Reafon before-mentioned.

I have

INTRODUCTION.

I have net confined my felf to derive from thofe Latin Words]
onlv, that may be found in Authors call'd ClaJJlck, or of the pu-|
roil Ages of the Latin Tongue ; fince it is evident we have de-'
rived from many Latin Words, which have been handed down
to us by Writers of a later Date, School-Men, Philofophcrs, Pby-
ficians, Mathematical and others.

If any of thofe Words given as the Etymon of the Englijh
Word fhould be thought too remote in Senfe or Spelling, it may
be fufficient to obviate fuch an Objection, that nothing is more
common in the tranfplanting Words from one Language to ano-
ther, than to make conliderable Variations, as in the Word Knave
from the Saxon Cnapa, which differs Literally and in Scnfe too ;
for it fignified in Saxon Times no more than Servitour, but now
generally is us'd to fignify a Difhoneft Person. And as to the Spel-
ling, the different Orthography of Nations has to difguifcd many
Words of the lame Pronunciation and Signification, that they ap-
pear fo unlike, that fuch as are not acquainted with each Lan-
guage nor accuftomed to Etymological Obfervations, can hardly
difccrn their Affinity. And befides, very few of the Etymological
Words are my own, but I have generally the Suffrage of Soraner,
Camden, Vcrftegan, Spelmanfafaubon, Dr. Th. Henjjjaii}, Skinner,
Junius, Mcnagius, Minjhcw, and other great Names and approved
Etymologies to bear me out.

To conclude, I have omitted nothing to render this Work as
complcat as all the Helps I could come at, and other Circumftan-
ccs would admit of. And I hope that con fidering the vaft Variety
both of Words and Things, as few Errors have efcaped my No-
tice, as could reafon^bly be expected, tf any diflent from me in any
Particular, it ought to fecure me from Cenfure, that I pretend on-
