This book was released on 2018-01-21 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New Shakespearean Dictionary Quotations as well as references to the text have throughout been appended to the definitions. In the case of a work of this nature mere references are of little service, as, apart from the trouble and loss of time involved in referring to the text, there cannot, if references only are given, be the same facility of comparison, and of seeing how the use of a word in one passage throws light on its use in another, as is afforded by the passages being exhibited to the eye together. It has not been possible to make the references and quotations exhaustive; and in the cases of words and senses of frequent occurrence I have accordingly generally limited myself to three or four. Where not more than two are given it may, as a rule, be assumed that there are no other clear examples of the use. The references are to the Globe edition, and for the quotations that text has been used. In printing the quotations the only deviation from the Globe text which I have allowed myself, in addition to a few mentioned in the body of the work, is the omission of the apostrophe in genuine aphetic forms such as gin, gree, long, and in a In a few cases, where a portion only of a sentence has been quoted, it has been necessary slightly to modify the punctuation. I have found that later issues of the Globe differ somewhat from the first issue, and have recorded one or two such differences which I have noticed. The Works are cited substantially as in Schmidt's Lexicon. A table of the contractions used, which for the most part explain themselves, is appended. Small numerals attached to leading words indicate that the words so distinguished, although identical in form, differ in origin.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare-Lexicon a Complete Dictionary of All the English Words, Phrases and Constructions in the Works of the Poet, Vol. 1 The present work, as differing from the existing Shakespearian glossaries, the object of which has been only to explain what has become obsolete and unintelligible in the writings of the poet, is to contain his whole vocabulary and subject the sense and use of every word of it to a careful examination. As it was not intended to establish a critical standard, but only to furnish some of the necessary materials for criticism, it seemed convenient to lay aside, for the present, the question of the authenticity of the works generally ascribed to Shakespeare, and to consider as genuine all that has been commonly printed together as Shakespeares, namely the thirty six plays of the first and second Folios, together with Pericles, and the so called Poems; but to disregard the apocryphal pieces of the latest Folios as well as those which the criticism of still later times has brought into connection with the name of the poet. The stage-directions, too, even those of the earliest editions, have been left unnoticed, as it appeared more than doubtful whether they were written by Shakespeare himself.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Glossary to the Works of William Shakespeare Among the difficulties incident to a glossarist not the least is that of determining the nicer shades of meaning in which many words are used; and very probably some philologers may think that I have occasionally made distinctions where none in fact exist, and sometimes confounded what ought to have been kept distinct. Nor do I feel sure that sundry other things will not be objected to, and perhaps with justice, in such a mass of omnigenous matter as the following pages comprise.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare Bibliography: A Dictionary of Every Known Issue of the Writings of Our National Poet and of Recorded Opinion Thereon in the English Language A Long book needs but a short preface. Perchance, then, one may claim privilege for a tired pen, and stand excused if some necessary observations are compressed into the briefest space. From a remote period the indispensable tribute to distinguished merit has found expression in the form of biography. Like most good things, it is often abused. What probably originated and ended in some simple tombstone inscription now sometimes extends to a set of several ponderous tomes - documentary proof, as Dr. Johnson would say, of misplaced vanity. In modern days literary genius asserts its right to a fresh prerogative in the shape of bibliography, a claim no one will grudge. That form of hero-worship honourably serves a double purpose. It fulfils the desire to pay homage where due, and, as a key to recorded knowledge, becomes a handmaid to fresh literary labour. With these few words I might fitly 'say amen betimes' did not other remarks, perhaps apropos to the place and time, press for notice. 'Mans most of might' - in Browning's expressive phrase - the transcendent genius now surveyed, is by acclaim the chosen spokesman of a race entrusted with profound and world-wide responsibilities. In addition to the labour, that fact did not lessen the serious nature of this gigantic task. But of that more anon. Among millions of Anglo-Saxons influenced by books, either at home or overseas, there can be but few who feel no quickening of the pulse at the mention of that 'great heir of fame' who left so free, so matchless a heritage. Beyond the vast numbers who have read and enjoyed, how many more millions do his happy precepts guide and cheer! How much of his wisdom and wit is woven into the common life and language of the nations! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Etymological Dictionary of the English Language Another not very hopeful book in which to find one's place, is the Faerie Queene. References to this are usually given to the book and canto, and of these one or other is (in Richardson) occasionally incorrect; in every case, I have added the number of the stanza. One very remarkable fact about Richardson's dictionary is that, in many cases, references are given only to obscure and late authors, when all the while the word occurs in Shakespeare. By keeping Dr. Schmidt's comprehensive Shakespeare Lexicon1 always open before me, this fault has been easily' remedied.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Shakespearian Dictionary: Forming a General Index to All the Popular Expressions, and Most Striking Passages in the Works of Shakespeare; From a Few Words to Fifty or More Lines The matchless genius of Shakespeare has furnished occupation for authors, from the very age in which he wrote, down to the pre sent day; so that, independent of the innumerable editions of his plays, from the original authentic copies, to the modern mutila tions represented under his name upon the stage, we have more than two hundred works of which Shakespeare and his writings are the subject. Such being the case, it may be thought necessary, for one who ventures to add to the number, to offer some apology to the public for so doing. That tendered for the present compilation is founded on the belief, that among all these works, there does not exist one which effectively occupies the ground here taken, and very few which even attempt to connect Shakespeare's felicitous expressions -exhibiting as they do, a matchless insight into human nature with the various casualties, motives, and objects of ordinary life. Such a task, if performed with judgment and faithfulness, could hardly fail to prove both pleasing and useful. In support of the opinion that this task yet remained to be accomplished, it will be necessary to submit a few observations concerning the works which profess to have the same object, upon the comparative merits of which with the shakespearian dictionary, its pretensions to public favour must be founded.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Shakespeare Key: Unlocking the Treasures of His Style, Elucidating the Peculiarities of His Construction, and Displaying the Beauties of His Expression Shakespeare's style, so masterly in power of effect, so vigorous in expression, so full of varied resource, so marked with bold originality, yet so accordant with pure English diction, offers supreme advantage in its careful study to the thinkers, the writers, and the orators in his native language. A man possessed of good intellect and education, who moulds his composition and speech on the model afforded by Shakespeare's works, can hardly fail of being an able writer and speaker; and even a moderately gifted and moderately educated man, who is in the habit of reading and thoughtfully appreciating Shakespeare, is likely to become capable of expressing himself with strength and clearness - the best eloquence - whether in writing or speaking. Never was author who combined so many different words in his single writings - and not only so many different words, but so many varied forms and uses of words - as Shakespeare; never was author who comprised so many different phrases and sentences, with varied constructional forms of phrases and sentences, as Shakespeare; therefore it is that the possession of a ready means for inspecting these must needs be an advantage to students of the English language. More particularly must it be valuable to dramatic writers; whose object it is to produce prompt and imme diate impression upon those who hear sentences uttered, without the opportunity to te-scan and weigh which reading affords. Of the same value is it to public Speakers; since they also have to choose such expressions as will at once convey their meaning in the most full and forcible manner: and where can such expressions be found in larger number and more pregnant with significance than in Shakespeare's writings?
