 - PREFACE 
 
 The present publication may be considered as the foundation-stone of the 
 Historical and Literary portion of the Philological Society's proposed Eng- 
 lish Dictionary. Its appearance in a separate form has been necessitated 
 by the nature of the scheme, on which that work is being constructed. 
 Without entering into details, which will be found in the Society's published 
 Prospectus,* it will be sufficient for the present purpose to mention, that the 
 raw material of the Dictionary, the words and authorities, are being brought 
 together by a number of independent collectors, for whom it is consequently 
 necessary to provide some common standard of comparison, whereby each 
 may ascertain what he is to extract, and what to reject, from the author, or 
 work, he has undertaken. This standard for works of earlier date than 1526 
 is furnished by the following pages, which contain an alphabetical inventory 
 of every word found in the printed English literature of the 13th century. 
 As, however, a mere index verborum would but inadequately fulfil its object, 
 a certain amount of explanatory and etymological matter has been added, 
 which it is hoped may render the work more generally interesting and useful 
 than could otherwise have been the case. It is only proper to add that Eng- 
 lish literature, as distinguished from Semi-Saxon, is assumed to commence 
 about the middle of the 13th century. 
 
 All words are arranged under their modern forms, where such exist, but 
 the older forms, except where utterly unimportant, are always noticed. The 
 more remarkable of these older forms are also entered in the Glossary in their 
 alphabetical order, with cross references to that under which the word is dis- 
 cussed. Thus under ' Hymn ' and ' Isle ' will be found the forms ' ympne " 
 and ' ydle ; ' but ' ympne ' and * ydle ' appear also in their proper places in the 
 
 * London, Triibner and Co., Paternoster Row, price 6d. 
 
iv PREFACE. 
 
 Glossary. Obsolete words are of course entered as they are spelt in the pas- 
 sage whence they are taken, a rule which applies as much to different forms 
 of the same word, as to different words. As to the etymological matter, 
 nothing further as a general rule has been attempted than to indicate the 
 nearest cognate, or cognates, of the particular word ; but it has not been 
 thought necessary, or desirable, to load the Glossary with illustrations of this 
 nature in very simple cases. I have to thank Hensleigh "Wedgwood, Esq., 
 for many kind and valuable suggestions in this part of my work. 
 
 My best thanks are also due to the Rev. J. Eastwood, the Rev. W. H. 
 Herford, to my colleague Mr E. J. Eurnivall, and to Messrs M'Ewanand Har- 
 rison, for their valuable assistance in the formation of separate indexes to 
 several of the works comprised in this Glossary. Their respective shares in 
 the work are pointed out in the List of Books and Editions, which will be 
 found in page v. 
 
 And I cannot terminate this brief preface without expressing my deep 
 sense of the obligations I am under to Sir E. Madden, not merely for the help 
 of his invaluable editions of La$amon and Havelok, without which this work 
 would have been far less complete than it now is, but also for much kind per- 
 sonal advice and assistance, which probably few, if any, living philologists 
 beside himself would have been competent to bestow. It only remains for me 
 to add that, although no pains have been spared to render the book as com- 
 plete as possible, I cannot but expect that some omissions and errors will be 
 discovered, more especially as the largest and most laborious portion of the 
 work was carried on during a long period of ill health. I shall feel very 
 grateful to those who discover any addenda, if they will kindly communicate 
 them to me for insertion hereafter in the Dictionary itself.

VI LIST OF BOOKS AND EDITIONS REFERRED TO. 
 
 The Early English Psalter. Edited by the Rev. J. Stevenson, for the Surtees' 
 Society. Cited by the psalm and verse. (By Mr H. Coleridge.) 
 
 Robert of Gloucester's Chronicle. Ed. Hearne (2nd ed., 1810). Cited by the

 (Owing to the gross inaccuracy of the marginal numbering in the 
 printed edition of this poem, it has been found necessary to go over the 
 whole afresh, and to cite according to the amended reckoning. The fol- 
 lowing data will assist the reader : — The first error occurs in page 64, 
 where the line numbered 1280 should be 1282. The second occurs in 
 page 100, where ten lines are dropped, and 1961 is printed for 1973, the 
 true number. The third will be found in page 110, where 2049 is made 
 to succeed 2139, and after this, of course, the confusion is hopeless. The 
 exact number of lines in the poem is 2515, while the printed numbers 
 give only 2398. Readers are therefore requested to renumber their 
 copies from page 64 onwards, before attempting to verify the references 
 in the Glossary.) 
 
 The following pieces will be printed in the second part of the Philological 
 Society's Transactions for 1858, and are therefore included in the Glossary. 
 I am indebted to the kindness of my friend and colleague, Mr Eurnivall, for 
 the loan of his transcripts. 
 
 A Moral Ode. MS. Egerton, 613. Cited by stanzas. 
 
 (Hickes printed Extracts from this Ode, in his Thesaurus, vol. I. p. 
 222, from one of the Digby MSS. ; but his text is somewhat different 
 from that of the Egerton MS., and omits nine stanzas contained in the 
 latter.)

 Signa Ante Judicium, 
 
 A Fragment on the Seven Sins, 
 
 The Ten Commandments,

 OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 
 
 " Of the industry bestowed upon this ex- 
 tensive compilation, and of the marvellous 
 condensation of fact which it supplies, it 
 is difficult to speak in terms of proper com- 
 mendation; even to the most accomplished 
 bibliographer it cannot fail to be of great 
 service, but how much more to the tyro or 
 ordinary bibliographer." — Brownsoris Review. 
 
 " There is more variety, interest, and even 
 life, in the Memoirs of Libraries, than might 
 be expected. Mr. Edwards has a more com- 
 prehensive mind and a more sensible judg- 
 ment than always characterise the tribe of 
 librarii. His style has not an undue spirit 
 of rhetoric, which throws off anything ap- 
 proaching to the manner of Dryasdust." — 
 Spectator. 
 
 "Both as a history of libraries and a 
 manual of their economy, this work is va- 
 luable : delightful to the scholar in the first 
 respect; in the second, indispensable to the 
 librarian." — Critic , 
 
 " We now take leave of these volumes, 
 feeling that we have given a very imperfect 
 indication of their contents, and strongly re- 
 commend them to the consideration of all 
 persons connected with or interested in libra- 
 ries, public or private, because they contain 
 a vast quantity of information never before 
 collected, and much that would be sought 
 for in vain elsewhere." — Bookseller. 
 
 " Mr. Edwards's style is pleasant, and free 
 from the slang and pedantry of many more 
 costly productions in the field of bibliogra- 
 phy. If we feel occasionally inclined to differ 
 from the author's views and deductions, we 
 do so at all times with some deference, be- 
 cause throughout the work it is evident that 
 
 he has been earnest to furnish the fullest and 
 most satisfactory information which it was in 
 his power to do." — Leader. 
 
 "It is now generally conceded that the 
 civilization of a people may be judged rather 
 by the number and value of its private libra- 
 ries, than by the extent and magnificence of 
 those provided by the Sovereign. Such be- 
 ing the case, it is incumbent upon us to ex- 
 amine our position in this particular, by com- 
 parison with other nations, This Ave are now 
 enabled to do, for the first time, by the aid 
 afforded in Mr. Edwards's ' Memoirs of Libra- 
 ries,' which exhibits a mass of evidence such 
 as only the greatest devotion to the subject, 
 perseveringly continued through many years, 
 could have accumulated. So completely is 
 the subject exhausted, that it would be vain 
 and useless for the inquirer to push his re- 
 searches further in order to obtain a clear 
 view of the libraries of the past and present; 
 for what of interest or value he finds not in 
 these volumes he will scarcely hope to obtain 
 elsewhere." — Gentleman's Magazine. 
 
 " The various schemes propounded for the 
 classification of knowledge — the extent to 
 which libraries may safely be made available 
 for public use — their internal economy, and 
 the qualifications essential for their manage- 
 ment — these are subjects which it would have 
 afforded us both pleasure and profit to have 
 discussed with Mr. Edwards. But it is time 
 to take leave of him with the respect due to 
 a writer whom some diffuseness, occasional 
 want of discrimination, and a few doubtful 
 views, will not debar from a cordial reception 
 wherever industry is appreciated or erudition 
 recognised." — Press.

 IMPORTANT WORK ON ENGLISH AND AMERICAN 
 LITERARY HISTORY. 
 
 AND BRITISH AND AMERICAN AUTHORS, 
 
 LIVING AND DECEASED, FROM THE EARLIEST ACCOUNTS TO THE 
 MIDDLE OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY. 
 
 Containing 31,000 Biographies and Literary Notices. With an Index of Subject Matter. 
 
 By S. AUSTIN ALLIBONE. 
 
 The Second Volume (letter K. to Z, likewise exceeding 1000 pp.), which is in a 
 very forward state (being stereotyped as far as the letter S), will complete the work, 
 and be published, with a most elaborate Index of Subject-Matter, in the Autumn of 
 1859, on the same terms as the first Volume. 
 
 The above important work was originally announced to be published in 1857, in 
 one Volume, imperial 8vo., of about 1500 pages, and the first appeal to the public 
 on its behalf was signally successful. The delay in the publication seems to have 
 caused a feeling of disappointment among the patrons of the work, but it is hoped 
 that this feeling will give way to one of lively satisfaction when the first half of it is 
 examined. The high expectations raised by the mere announcement made it incum- 
 bent upon the Author and Publishers to spare no expense or trouble to bring the 
 work to the greatest state of perfection ; and although stereotyped to the letter H at 
 the time it was first announced, that portion has been entirely revised, partly re- 
 written, and so much new matter introduced, that the subscribers will now receive 
 above 2000 pages, at no increase of price. 
 
 DESCRIPTIVE TITLE. 
 
 The characteristics of the work, which have not been united in any previous under- 
 taking of the kind, are as follow : — 
 
 "1. It is a Biographical Dictionary of English and American Authors, comprising 
 both the living and the dead; furnishing those incidents respecting the persons who 
 have made themselves famous in the Republic of Letters, which every reader desires 
 to know, and few know where to find. 
 
 " 2. It is a Bibliographical Manual, giving information as to the best editions of 
 authors, the circumstances attending their publication, the reception which they met 
 with from the public, the influence they have exercised on the public mind, and many 
 other interesting particulars, not one of which the true lover of books and student of 
 letters would 'willingly let die.' 
 
 " As a Bibliographical Manual, the Index, which forms the second portion of the 
 volume, will prove no small addition to its value. In this Index the subjects of 
 human knowledge are divided into forty distinct classes, and an alphabet is allotted 
 to each. By this means the reader is enabled to see at a glance who are the 
 principal writers on all subjects, from Agriculture, Class 1st, to Voyages, Class 40th. 
 
Publications of Messrs. Trubner Sf Co,, 60, Paternoster Row. 7 
 
 ALLIBONE'S DICTIONARY— continued. 
 
 "It is thought that this Index will contain between 40,000 and 50,000 names, yet 
 no author is mentioned whose works are not noticed in the first part of the Dictionary. 
 
 " It is a Critical as well as a Biographical and Bibliographical Dictionary. Here 
 the author has a great advantage over his predecessors, without a single exception. 
 Makers of books approaching to the character of this are in the habit of giving their 
 own opinions, or opinions adopted as their own, which must be based upon very par- 
 tial knowledge, and one, therefore, of little value ; or are apt to be tinctured with 
 prejudice and party bias, and are therefore entitled to little confidence. But Mr. 
 Allibone contents himself with adducing the opinions upon various writers, as they 
 come under his notice, of critics of great and extended reputation, who have earned 
 a claim to be heard with respect, if not in all cases with entire acquiescence. These 
 invaluable specimens of criticism are quoted verbatim, and distinguished by a smaller 
 type, which adds greatly to the beauty of the work." 
 
 To the above Summary of the Work the Publishers beg leave to append the follow- 
 ing remarks : — 
 
 It contains, it is believed, the names of every Author in English Literature and 
 Science, living and dead, that anybody would think of looking for. Their dates are 
 given, and the dates of their several publications. Critical notices by writers of 
 authority are always added, and with such fairness and copiousness as challenge a 
 constant surprise, and afford, besides, a most instructive and entertaining exhibition 
 of the judgments of capable men upon the qualities and characters of the celebrities of 
 literature. The compiler of these authoritative criticisms, however, does not avoid 
 his own responsibilities, but frankly and ably sets down his own opinions, wherever 
 any interest of moral truth or literary justice is involved. 
 
 The second division of the work will contain " a copious index of subjects" arranged 
 alphabetically, under such heads as Agriculture, Antiquities, Chemistry, Divinity, 
 Drama, Law, Political Economy, Biography, etc. etc. ; so that the inquirer can find 
 at a glance all the authors of any note under the title of the subject upon which he 
 has written. This division, besides being a most interesting presentment of author- 
 ship classified — a table of the sciences and of their cultivators — is an invaluable index 
 to the biographies and literary notices, for the use of students in every profession, 
 and of every specific pursuit. Together, the two divisions will be to study what the 
 alphabet of the ledger and the account of stock on hand are to the merchant. 
 Booksellers, school committees, and librarians, will perceive their practical interest in 
 it, as much as merchants, farmers, lawyers, doctors, clergymen, and mechanics, 
 in their several ways require it; and authors, too — for the living labourers in literature 
 are all upon the record — will find themselves, each in his appropriate place, in this 
 great gathering of celebrities. In a word, the book is constructed upon a plan, and 
 the plan executed with such success, that it will serve not only as a directory, but as 
 a guide to study, a catalogue, invoice, and manual to the trade in literature. 
 
 MODE AND TERMS OF PUBLICATION. 
 
 The Work — Volume I., comprising the letters A to J, pp. 1005, is issued. The second 
 Volume, comprising letters K to Z, already stereotyped as far as letter S, will be pub- 
 lished, with the Index of Subject-matter, in Autumn, 1859, and exceed 1000 pages. 
 
 Form and Style— 2 Volumes, imperial 8vo., containing above 2000 pages, elegantly and 
 closely printed in double column, on the finest paper. 
 
 Price — £l : 16s. (Tbirty-six Shillings) per Copy, to subscribers before publication — 18s. to 
 be paid upon delivery of each Volume; £2 : 8s. to non- subscribers, or 24s, each Volume.

 CRITICAL OPINIONS. 
 
 " Most truly is Mr. Allibone's Dictionary 
 a great work, which cannot fail of being ex- 
 tensively useful, from the comprehensiveness 
 of its plan, and also for the ability, persever- 
 ing industry, patience of research, impartiality 
 and accuracy, with which it is executed. The 
 introduction of brief critical testimonies to the 
 character and value of the works of eminent 
 authors is a happy thought, and cannot fail to 
 be of great service to future bibliographers 
 and librarians in the selection and purchase 
 of books. 
 
 "Mr. Allibone's list of authorities con- 
 sulted includes (I believe) every work of any 
 value. My own knowledge of American au- 
 thors has hitherto been derived chiefly from 
 the best edition of ' Allen's American Biogra- 
 phy,' and from Mr. Triibner's concise but 
 truly valuable ' Guide to American Literature.' 
 But henceforth Mr. Allibone's researches 
 will leave nothing to be desired." — Rev. 
 Thomas Eartwell Home, in a Letter to the 
 Publishers. 
 
 " Mr. Allibone, an American gentleman of 
 wide reading, is engaged on a ' Critical Dic- 
 tionary of English Literature,' a work very 
 seriously needed. Lowndes is very imperfect. 
 Watt is out of date, is also very imperfect, 
 and is out of print. Mr. Allibone is said, on 
 high American authority, to be well prepared 
 for his task. His method, of which we can 
 judge for ourselves, is novel : his plan being 
 to supply the facts about his authors him- 
 self, and to quote opinions about them from 
 distinguished critical contemporaries and suc- 
 cessors. For example, under the title of 
 4 Opinions on Burke,' there are forty brief ex- 
 cerpts from Samuel Johnson, Arthur Murphy, 
 Lord Jeffrey, Professor Smyth, Dugald Stew- 
 art, James Prior, the Earl of Chatham, King 
 George III., Charles James Fox, John Roche, 
 M. Cazales,WilliamWyndham, Gerard Hamil- 
 ton, Mr. Curwen, Rev. Thomas Campbell, Dr. 
 French Laurence, Edward Gibbon, Richard 
 Cumberland, William Wilberforce, Thomas 
 James Mathias, Lord Thurlow, Rev. Dr. Sa- 
 muel Parr, Henry Grattan, Oliver Goldsmith, 
 Mr. Richards, the Duke de Levis, Warren 
 Hastings, R. B. Sheridan, F. Schlegel, Robert 
 Hall, George Crabbe, Samuel Warren, T. B. 
 Macaulay, Rev. Dr. C. A Goodrich, Mr. 
 Shackleton, Sir James Mackintosh, Sir Robert 
 Peel, Lord John Russell, Lord Erskine, and 
 Lord Brougham. This gives an idea of the 
 work. By such a plan the reader is presented 
 with a History of Opinion on great writers, 
 as well as a History of their Works. If Mr. 
 Allibone's ' Dictionary ' proves to be as able 
 in execution as it is felicitous in conception, 
 
 it will be welcome to many libraries in Eng- 
 land as well as in America." — Athenceum, 
 Jan. 5th, 1856. 
 
 " That which the entire bookselling trade 
 of London could not effect, a Philadelphian 
 gentleman has been quietly to some extent 
 executing in distant America. Mr. S. Austin 
 Allibone, by great and conscientious labour, 
 extending over a long period of time, has com- 
 pleted the compilation of ' A Critical Diction- 
 ary of English Literature, and British and 
 American Authors, Living and Deceased, from 
 the Earliest Accounts to the Middle of the 
 Nineteenth Century.' Some sheets of this 
 work having been shown to us, we are enabled 
 to give some account of its nature and plan. 
 In the first place, it will contain upwards of 
 thirty thousand names — a larger number than 
 has ever been collected before in any similar 
 work. Watt's ' Bibliotheca' contains rather 
 less than 23,00 names, and Chalmers's has 
 only 9000. In the next place, each name has 
 a short biographical notice appended ; and in 
 many cases critical observations, mostly ex- 
 tracted from well-known and respectable 
 sources, are appended to the list of works. 
 One volume of 1500 closely but clearly 
 printed pages will be the full extent of the 
 work, which will thus be within the reach of 
 those whose means do not permit them to 
 purchase large and expensive works. It would 
 be too much to expect perfection in such a 
 task, executed by a single hand; but, from 
 what we have seen, we have no hesitation in 
 predicting that Mr. Allibone's Dictionary will 
 be a most valuable work." — Critic, December, 
 1855. 
 
 "Mr. Allibone's work is warmly com- 
 mended by Irving, Prescott, Bryant, Everett, 
 Bancroft, Sparks, and other distinguished 
 scholars and men of letters in America. The 
 only book of the kind now in use is ' Watt's 
 Bibliotheca Britannica,' supplemented by the 
 London Catalogues. Watt is in four bulky 
 and expensive quartos, and is now nearly 30 
 years old. That it has nothing about Ame- 
 rican books is a sufficient motive for another 
 work being required in the States; but in 
 England, also, a book of bibliographical re- 
 ference, with critical and biographical notices, 
 is a desideratum, and we are prepared to re- 
 ceive Mr. Allibone's Dictionary with favour." 
 — Literary Gazette. 
 
 " We have had an opportuniny of inspect- 
 ing that portion of Mr. Allibone's Biblio- 
 graphical Dictionary which has already been 
 printed, and are glad to hear that the entire 
 work will be ready for issue in a very short 
 time. We understand that arrangements have

 been made by Mr. Trubner to publish it in 
 America and in England on the same day." — 
 Critic, Feb. \bth, 1856. 
 
 " It has been reserved for an American gen- 
 tleman to produce the first complete Diction- 
 ary of the literature and literary men of Eng- 
 land and America, -which has yet appeared in 
 either country. The work will contain about 
 31,000 biographies and literary notices, and 
 an examination of the first 464 pages, com- 
 pleting the letters A, B, and C, has convinced 
 ns that the author has brought to his task 
 all the requisites of the Encyclopaedist — the 
 most patient industry and painstaking love of 
 detail and accuracy. The Rev. T. Hartwell 
 Home, than whom -we know no greater au- 
 thority upon bibliographical matters, and to 
 
 whom the work was submitted as far as printed, 
 passes the following high eulogium upon it : — 
 ' Most truly is Mr. Ailibone s Dictionary a 
 great work, which cannot fail of being exten- 
 sively useful, from the comprehensiveness of 
 its plan, and also for the ability, persevering 
 industry, patience of research, impartiality, 
 and accuracy, with which it is executed,' etc. 
 The work will be published by subscription, 
 and not to be accessible to the book trade for 
 a whole year after publication, and then only 
 at an increased price. Mr. Trubner, the 
 American bookseller, of Paternoster-row, has 
 succeeded in effecting an arrangement by 
 which he will issue subscribers 5 copies in this 
 country simultaneously with the American 
 publishers." — Bent's Lit, Advertiser, Feb. 1856. 
 
 Copy of Letter from Cardinal Wiseman to S. Austin Ailibone, Esq. 
 
 "London, Feb. 18, 1859. 
 " Dear Sir, — I thank you very sincerely for the first volume of your Dictionary of 
 Authors. I have tested its value in two different ways: first, by looking at the 
 accounts of comparatively unknown or obscure authors, hardly to be found in 
 ordinary biographical works, and then by glancing at the history of celebrated ones, 
 whose lives have occupied volumes. Your work stands both tests admirably. I 
 have found more about the first class of writers than I have ever seen elsewhere, and 
 than I could have anticipated in so comprehensive a work; while the interesting 
 points in the literary lives of those belonging to the second, are brought out in 
 sufficient detail and treated with sufficient accuracy to render further reference or 
 inquiry unnecessary. I congratulate you on the success of your herculean under- 
 taking, and am 
 
 " Yours very faithfully,

 " Sir, — Since I wrote to you last (Jan. 29, 1859), I have had frequent occasion to 
 consult your Dictionary, and I have scarcely ever failed to find what I sought. I 
 have no hesitation in saying that it is far superior to any other work of the kind in

 This work, it is believed is, the first attempt to marshal the Literature of the 
 United States of America during the last forty years, according to the generally 
 received bibliographical canons. The Librarian will welcome it, no doubt, as a 
 companion volume to Brunet, Lowndes and Ebert, whilst to the bookseller it will 
 be a faithful guide to the American branch of English Literature — a branch which, 
 on account of its rapid increase and rising importance, begins to force itself daily 
 more and more upon his attention. Nor will the work be of less interest to the 
 man of letters, inasmuch as it comprises complete Tables of Contents to all the more 
 prominent Collections of the Americans, to the Journals, Memoirs, Proceedings and 
 Transactions of their learned Societies — and thus furnishes an intelligible key to a 
 department of American scientific activity hitherto but imperfectly known and 
 understood in Europe.

 The above is, without exception, the most important addition yet made to African 
 Philology. The amount of materials brought together by Sir George, with a view to 
 elucidate the subject, is stupendous; and the labour bestowed on them, and the results 
 arrived at, incontestably establish the claim of the Author to be called the father of 
 African and Polynesian Philology. 
 
 OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 
 
 "We congratulate the Governor of the 
 Cape on the production of a most important 
 aid to the study of the twin sciences of 
 philology and ethnology, and look forward to 
 the completion of the Catalogue itself as a 
 great and permanent step towards civilization 
 of the barbarous races whose formation, ha- 
 bits, language, religion, and food, are all, more 
 or less, most carefully noted in its pages." — 
 Leader. 
 
 " It is for these substantial reasons that we 
 deemed it worth a brief notice to call atten- 
 tion to these excellently arranged Catalogues 
 (with important notes), describing the vari- 
 rious works in the library of Sir George Grey, 
 and by which this great philanthropist will 
 greatly aid in civilizing the numerous peoples 
 within the limit of the colony of the Cape of 
 Good Hope." — Brighton Gazette.

 This work is intended to supply a great want, now that the study of Ethnology 
 has proved that exotic languages are not mere curiosities, but essential and interesting 
 parts of the natural history of man, forming one of the most curious links in the great 
 chain of national affinities, denning as they do the reciprocity existing between man 
 and the soil he lives upon. No one can venture to write the history of America 
 without a knowledge of her aboriginal languages ; and unimportant as such researches 
 may seem to men engaged in the mere bustling occupations of life, they will at least 
 acknowledge that these records of the past, like the stern-lights of a departing ship, 
 are the last glimmers of savage life, as it becomes absorbed or recedes before the 
 tide of civilization. Dr. Ludewig and Professor Turner have made most diligent use 
 of the public and private collections in America, access to all of which was most 
 liberally granted to them. This has placed at their disposal the labours of the Ame- 
 rican Missionaries, so little known on this side of the Atlantic that they may be 
 looked upon almost in the light of untrodden ground. But English and Continental 
 libraries have also been ransacked ; and Dr. Ludewig kept up a constant and active 
 correspondence with scholars of " the Fatherland," as well as with men of similar 
 tastes and pursuits in France, Spain, and Holland, determined to leave no stone 
 unturned to render his labours as complete as possible. The volume, perfect in 
 itself, is the first of an enlarged edition of Vater's " Linguarum totius orbis Index." 
 The work has been noticed by the press of both Continents, and we may be permitted 
 to refer particularly to the following : 
 
 OPINIONS OF THE PRESS 
 
 " This work, mainly the production of the 
 late Herr Ludewig, a German naturalized in 
 America, is devoted to an account of the lite- 
 rature of the aboriginal languages of that 
 country. It gives an alphabetical list of the 
 various tribes of whose languages any record 
 
 remains, and refers to the works, papers, or 
 manuscripts, in which such information may 
 be found. The work has evidently been a 
 labour of love ; and as no pains seems to 
 have been spared by the editors, Prof. Turner 
 and Mr, Tr'dbner, in rendering the work as

 accurate and complete as possible, those who 
 are most interested in its contents will be best 
 able to judge of the labour and assiduity be- 
 stowed upon it by author, editors, and pub- 
 lisher." — Athenceum, 5th April, 1858. 
 
 " This is the first instalment of a work 
 which will be of the greatest value to philo- 
 logists ; and is a compendium of the abori- 
 ginal languages of the American continents, 
 and a digest of all the known literature bear- 
 ing upon those languages. Mr. Trubner's 
 hand has been engaged passim, and in his 
 preface he lays claim to about one-sixth of 
 the whole ; "and we have no doubt that the 
 encouragement with which this portion of the 
 Avork will be received by scholars, will be 
 such as to inspire Mr. Trubner with sufficient 
 confidence to persevere in his arduous and 
 most honourable task" — The Critic, 15th 
 Dec. 1857. 
 
 " Few would believe that a good octavo 
 volume would be necessary to exhaust the 
 subject; yet so it is, and this handsome, use- 
 ful, and curious volume, carefully compiled 
 by Mr. Ludewig, assisted by Professor Turner, 
 and edited by the careful hand of Mr. Triib- 
 ner, the well-known publisher, will be sure to 
 find a place in many libraries." — Bent's Ad- 
 vertiser, 6th Nov. 1857. 
 
 " The lovers of American linguistics will 
 find in the work of Mr. Trubner scarcely any 
 point omitted calculated to aid the compara- 
 tive philologer in tracing the various lan- 
 guages of the great Western Continent." — 
 Galway Mercury, 30th Jan. 1858. 
 
 " Only those deeply versed in philological 
 studies can appreciate this book at its full 
 value. It shows that there are upwards of 
 seven hundred and fifty aboriginal American 
 languages." — Gentleman's Magazine, Feb. 
 1858. 
 
 " The work contains an account of no 
 fewer than seven hundred different aboriginal 
 dialects of America, with an introductory 
 chapter of bibliographical information ; and 
 under each dialect is an account of any gram- 
 mars or other works illustrative of it." — The 
 Bookseller, Jan. 1858. 
 
 " We have here the list of monuments still 
 existing of an almost innumerable series of 
 languages and dialects of the American Con- 
 tinent. The greater part of Indian gram- 
 mars and vocabularies exist only in MS,, and 
 were compiled chiefly by Missionaries of the 
 Christian Church; and to Dr. Ludewig and 
 Mr. Trubner, we are, therefore, the more in- 
 debted for the great care with which they 
 have pointed out where such are to be found, 
 as well as for enumerating those which have 
 been printed, either in a separate shape, in 
 
 collections, or in voyages and travels, and 
 elsewhere." — Leader, 11th Sept. 1858. 
 
 " I have not time, nor is it my purpose, to 
 go into a review of this admirable work, or 
 to attempt to indicate the extent and value 
 of its contents. It is, perhaps, enough to say, 
 that apart from a concise but clear enumera- 
 tion and notice of the various general philo- 
 logical works which treat with greater or 
 less fulness of American languages, or which 
 incidentally touch upon their bibliography, 
 it contains not less than 256 closely-printed 
 octavo pages of bibliographical notices of 
 grammars, vocabularies, etc., of the aboriginal 
 languages of America. It is a peculiar and 
 valuable feature of the work that not only 
 the titles of printed or published grammars 
 or vocabularies are given, but also that un- 
 published or MS. works of these kinds are 
 noticed in all cases where they are known 
 to exist, but which have disappeared among 
 the debris of the suppressed convents and re- 
 ligious establishments of Spanish America." 
 — E. G. Squier, in a paper read before the 
 American Ethnological Society, 12th Jan. 
 1858. 
 
 " In consequence of the death of the author 
 before he had finished the revisal of the work, 
 it has been carefully examined by competent 
 scholars, who have also made many valuable 
 additions." — American Publishers' Circular, 
 30th Jan. 1858. 
 
 " It contains 256 closely-printed pages of 
 titles of printed books and manuscripts, and 
 notices of American aboriginal languages, and 
 embraces references to nearly all that has 
 been written or published respecting them, 
 whether in special works or incidentally in 
 books of travel, periodicals, or proceedings of 
 learned societies."' — New York Herald, 29th 
 Jan. 1858. 
 
 " The manner in which this contribution 
 to the bibliography of American languages 
 has been executed, both by the author, Mr. 
 Ludewig, and the able writers who have 
 edited the work since his death, is spoken of 
 in the highest terms by gentlemen most con- 
 versant with the subject." — American Histo- 
 rical Magazine, Vol. II., No. 5, May, 1858.

 soin le plus consciencieux, et fera honneur a. 
 M. Nicolas Trubner, surtout s'il poursuit son 
 oeuvre avec le m£me ardeur qu'il mise a le 
 commencer." — L. Leon de Rosny, Revue de 
 V Orient, Fevrier, 1858. 
 
 " Mr. Triibner's most important work on 
 the bibliography of the aboriginal languages 
 of America is deserving of all praise, as emi- 
 nently useful to those who study that branch 
 of literature. The value, too, of the book, 
 and of the pains which its compilation must 
 have cost, will not be lessened by the con- 
 sideration that it is first in this field of lin- 
 guistic literature." — Petermann's Geogra- 
 phische Mittheilungen, p. 79, Feb. 1858. 
 
 " Undoubtedly this volume of Triibner's 
 Bibliotheca Glottica ranks amongst the most 
 valuable additions which of late years have 
 enriched our bibliographical literature. To 
 us Germans it is most gratifying that the 
 initiative has been taken by a German book- 
 seller himself, one of the most intelligent and 
 active of our countrymen abroad, to produce 
 a Avork which has higher aims than mere 
 pecuniary profit, and that he, too, has la- 
 boured at its production with his Own hands ; 
 because daily it is becoming a circumstance 
 of rarer occurrence that, as in this case, it is 
 a bookseller's primary object to serve the 
 cause of literature rather than to enrich him- 
 self." — P. Tromel, Borsenblait, 4th Jan. 
 1858. 
 
 " In the compilation of the work the editors 
 have availed themselves not only of the la- 
 bours of Vater, Barton, Duponceau, Gallatin, 
 De Souza, and others, but also of the MS. 
 sources left by the missionaries, and of many 
 books of which even the library of the British 
 Museum is deficient, and furnish the fullest 
 account of the literature of no less than 525 
 languages. The value of the work, so neces- 
 sary to the study of ethnology, is greatly 
 enhanced by the addition of a good Index." 
 — Berliner National- Zeitung, 22nd Nov. 1857. 
 
 " The name of the author, to all those who 
 are acquainted with his former works, and 
 who know the thoroughness and profound 
 character of his investigations, is a sufficient 
 
 guarantee that this work will be one of 
 standard authority, and one that will fully 
 answer the demands of the present time." — 
 Petzholdfs Anzeiger, Jan. 1858. 
 
 " The chief merit of the editor and pub- 
 lisher is to have terminated the work care- 
 fully and lucidly in contents and form, and 
 thus to have established a new and largely 
 augmented edition of " Voter's Linguarum 
 totius orbis Index" after Professor JiiJg's re- 
 vision of 1847. In order to continue and 
 complete this work the editor requires the 
 assistance of all those who are acquainted 
 with this new branch of science, and we sin- 
 cerely hope it may be accorded to him." — 
 Magazinfilr die Literatur des Auslandes, No. 
 38, 1858. 
 
 " As the general title of the book indicates, 
 it will be extended to the languages of the 
 other Continents in case it meet with a fa- 
 vourable reception, which we most cordially 
 wish it." — A. F. Pott., Preussische Jahr- 
 bucher, Vol. II. part 1. 
 
 " Cette compilation savante est sans con- 
 tredit, le travail bibliographique le plus im- 
 portant que notre epoque ait vu surgir sur les 
 nations indigenes de l'Amerique." — Nou- 
 velles Annales des Voyages. Avril, 1859. 
 
 " La Bibliotheca Glottica, dont M. Nicolas 
 Trubner a commence la publication, est un 
 des livres les plus utiles qui aient jamais et€ 
 rediges poiu* faciliter 1' etude de la philologie 
 comparee. Le premier tome de cette grande 
 bibliographie linguistique comprend la liste
