Book Description
Excerpt from English Dialect Words of the Eighteenth Century: As Shown in the "Universal Etymological Dictionary" Of Nathaniel Bailey The present volume aims at giving in a compact and handy form all that there is of value to the student of dialects in the English Dictionary of Nathaniel Bailey. Of all our lexicographers who preceded Dr. Johnson, he was the most popular, and though his work was eventually beaten out of the field, it did not yield without a struggle. There were several editions after the year 1755, the memorable year in which the result of Johnson's labours first appeared, and even as recently as 1802 there was an edition issued at Glasgow. As Bailey's work first appeared in 1721 it had nearly a century of popularity and usefulness. Of the author very little is known, but if it be true that the biography of an author is the history of his books, we are not entirely without materials for a Life of Bailey. The first edition of the dictionary appeared in 1721, and it may be convenient to give here such particulars as are known of its bibliography.
