Excerpt from A Glossary, or Collection of Words, Phrases, Names, and Allusions to Customs, Proverbs, Etc, Vol. 1: Which Have Been Thought to Require Illustration, in the Works of English Authors, Particularly Shakespeare and His Contemporaries; A-J
The compilation of a dictionary has not been improperly compared labours of the anvil or the mine; an allusion which Johnson might feelin recollect, at the close of his mighty work. Even his worthy editor, To must have had much of laborious hammering and digging, before he co send forth his augmented and improved edition. However, has occasioned no such toil. Its materials entirely for amusement; and the task has been c so far as it can be called complete, exactly in perseverance, indeed, through a long series of years, but uniformly at leisu hours, and only in the intervals of more important occupations. It was n till the press had commenced its operations, that any serious labour w bestowed upon it; then, indeed, in revision, correction, and the supplying palpable deficiencies, it became a task, of which the author is glad at length have seen the end.
