Excerpt from Poetical Works of Geoffrey Chaucer, Vol. 1: Edited With a MemoirThe Glossary which terminates the volumes has been com piled with a special view to the poems of Chaucer, but from the comprehensiveness of its design, it will be equally avail able as a guide to the works of the writers of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, and even of a later period. The stores of provincial dialects which have been latterly thrown open, and the labours of Urry, Gross, Nares, Tyrwhitt, Halliwell, and, indeed, most of the philologists who have explored our mediaeval language, or traced the descent of our modern English, have been laid under contribution to render the Glossary as complete as existing materials will permit.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
