Présentation de l'éditeur
Vhilk my aim, in the following pages, has been a little more ambitious than the compilation of a mere Glossary to the Writings of Burns, it is still a humble one. My endeavour has been to show to English readers that by far the greater number of the Poet swords for which a glossary is generally consulted are to be found in their own authors. For this purpose, I have quoted upwards of three thousand passages from English authors, besides words from old dictionaries and provincial glossaries. With the exception of a very few words from provincial authors, real or pretended, I have taken no illustrations from works published since Burns stime. I have not hesitated, when occasion offered, to insert anything which seemed likely to illustrate, in however small a degree, any word or passage, even at the risk of being accused of going beyond the province of the glossarist. I have not, however, neglected what is the primary purpose of a glossary; and I believe this, which I now offer to the public, will be found to contain a number of words not to be found in any other. Of course, Burns sown glossary has been incorporated.
