الصفحة xxx - ... generally separated from the body of the word by a hyphen. Thus my Glossary, though containing the materials of a huge Etymologicon, is entirely free of etymology. As a partial Dictionary of the language of Scotland, this Glossary, however inferior in other respects to the excellent one compiled by Mr. Ruddiman for Douglas's Virgil, has this material advantage of it, that most of the words in it belong to the genuine language of the country; whereas a very great proportion of the other consists...
