Desultory Notes on Jamieson's Scottish Dictionary (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Desultory Notes on Jamieson's Scottish Dictionary<br><br>The subjoined letter to the editor of the Glasgow Herald will explain how these somewhat desultory and very incomplete Notes on Jamieson first came to be put together. When the editor of the Herald kindly gave them a place in his somewhat crowded paper, a number of my friends were kind enough to say that they thought some of the Notes were of value, and asked me whether I would not think of getting them printed in a collected form. I have accordingly done so.<br><br>These Notes do not claim to be anything like a revisal or correction of Jamieson, nor do I claim to have any very intimate acquaintance with pure Scotch. They are simply jottings made from time to time which, for the present purpose, I have somewhat amplified, and, as will be seen from many of the Notes, I am myself only seeking for information which I shall be glad to get from those who are better up in "guid braid Scots" than I am.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
