PREFACE

TO THE

SECOND EDITION.

HE favourable reception with which

TH

this Book was honoured by the Public, has encouraged the Editor to present a fecond edition, more correctly arranged, and very confiderably enlarged. Some words and explanations in the former edition having been pointed out as rather indecent or indelicate, though to be found in Le Roux, and other Gloffaries of the like kind, these have been either omitted, foftened, or their explanations taken from books long fanctioned with general approbation, and admitted into the feminaries for the education of youthfuch as Bailey's, Miege's, or Philips's Dictionaries; so that it is hoped this work will now be found as little offenfive to delicacy as the nature of it would admit.

A lift is here added of fuch books as have been confulted for the additions.
