Prefiee to t, he First Vohnne of the Fil'st Editiol. 

The present Wol'k, as difl'eriug frolll the existing Shakespearian 
glossaries, the object of which has been ouly t.o explain what bas become 
obsolete and unintclligible in the writ.ings of the poet, is to cont.ain his 
whole vocabulary and sul,ject the sense and use of evel'y Wol'd of il to 
a ca.reful examination. 
As il was not intended to establish a crit.ical standard, but only 
to fl,rnish some of the necessary materials fo," criticism, it seelned con- 
renient to lay aside, tbr the present, the question of the authenticity of 
the works gencrally aSCl'ibed to Shakespeare, and to consider as genuine 
ail that has been commonlv printed together as Shakespeare's, namely 
the thirt.y-six plays oi" the first and second Folios, together with Pericles, 
and the so called Poems; but to disregard the apocryphal pieces of the latest 
Folios as well as those which the criticism of st.ill later limes has brought 
into connection with the naine of the poet. The stage-directions. 
too, even those of the ea,'liest cditions, have been left unnoticed, as il 
appeared more than doubt.flfl whether they were writtel by Shakespeare 
himsclf. 
In the present unsettled state of textual criticism it could not be 
decided, whether the Folios .or the extant Quartos deserved greater credit.. 
But fortunately the business of a lexicographer was, in this point al 
least, easier tlmn t.hat of an editor, who must lnake his choice between 



VI l'relate fo the First Volume of the First Edition. 
different lections, whereas the former my fairly contet himself with 
registering the occurring variations. These have indeed been collated 
with great tare wherever some auflaority could be att.ributed to the aneient 
text.s; exeluding, of course, those Qtmrtos which the editors of the 
first Folio ment when speaking of stole a,d so'rel;t#iots COla[es , iaimed 
«md dejbrmed by the fra«d« ad stealths of bjm'io«s 6l»osto's, namely the 
Quartos of t.he Merry Wives and Henl'y V, the 'First Pu't of fle Con- 
tention', file 'Truc Tragedy, and the eavliest impressions of Romco and 
Juliet (1597) and of Hamlct (1603). Their variations al'e, at the ]»est, 
of the saine weight as the conjectures of modevn emendators. 
The example and reasons of the Cambridge editors have been 
decisive for adopting the modern orthogralhy , those cases excepted when 
t.he difl'erent spelling of the o11 editions was evidently caused by a 
difference of pronmaciation. 
As for etymology, which ought to be the groundwork of every 
general dictionary, its importance seemed subordinate and somctimcs even 
doubtfid in ascertaining the sense of words in a particular period, -- a 
period especially in which the gelfiUs of the language broke new ways, 
now mad then even wifl some violence, to supply its increasing wants. 
Therefore the derivation of words has been ncglected on pnrpose, except 
when there was no other mea.ns of fiuding out thci" meaning. Accord- 
ingly, in a.rvanging the different significations of one and the saine word, 
a ha.rural and rational rather than an historical order has been observed, 
as it always seemed t.he safest way to study and explain the language 
of Shakespea.re by itself, calling in no other help as long as it could 
be donc without. In the definitions themselves as well as in their ar- 
rangement there will undoubtedly much be found to object against, but 
let it at the saine time be borne in mind that it is next to impossible to 
draw everywhere a strict line of demarcation, and flat, at any rate, the 
means of finding flac truth for himself have always been placed vithin 
the rea.ch of the reader. 
Originally a purpose was entertained of making the quotations 
absolutely complete, even with respect to the most common and con- 
stntly recurring parts and forms of speech. As, howevev, there arose 
some danger of impairing the utility of the book by hiding lnomentous 



l'rcfitce to the First Vohtme to the First Edition. V[I 

que,,.'tious under cuudrous deta.ils, copious use ha.s been ruade of the 
signs f. L and etc. by way of indicating that sufficicnt proof, if needed, 
was offered in every page of the poet. 
On t.he other hand, it was hot quite easy to rcsist the teml»tation 
to make t.his lexicon a gencral 'epert.ory and st.ove-house of Shakespearian 
love by collect.ing and gavuering up in it. ail that the industry of two 
eenturies had donc in this bra.nch ofliterat,,re. But, for once, first thoughts 
were best. Il, pursuing too vast a lwoject, the p'incipal design of the 
WOl'k was too likcly t.o have somctimes bcen lost. sight of. Following, 
thcretbl'e, the ohl maxim tlmt the half is more than thc wholc, and keeping 
within the p'oposcd bounds, the task was limitcd, in whatevcr reaehed 
beyond them, to the smallcst possillc eompass. Obscurities hot ol'iginating 
in the peculiav use of wovds, btlt in the poet's ri'aih of thought., have leen 
considered as quite out. of the question and entirely left to the com- 
ment.atol's. 
Eveu thus the wot'k wotdd remain extensive enough to make 
any SUl»erfluity a fault. Erroneous opilios and Wl'Ong conjectures 
of luode'n editors were hot admitted, unless they had become too 
populav to l»e altogether left tnmoticed. Obvious and evidenl things, 
tiret stood in no need of authovity, were left. to speak for themselves; 
and only in doublfid cases, or if there had been some partieular meril 
il finding the tl'uth, it seemed unfair hot to give every one lais due. 
But affet" all, truth cannot fare better than to be received as a mattev 
of course. 
Foreign and dialeetie words and phrases nsed by ,_hakespem'e 
will be eolleeted in an appendix to the second volume, for which are 
also veserved some gt'ammat.ical remarks designed fo prove the justness 
of several int.erpreta.tions which would else, perhaps, appear arbitrary 
and hazardous. They are fewer in number than was at firsl; anticipated, 
tbr the excellent Shakespearian Grammar of Me. Abbott, published in 
t.he lneantime, toget.her with Sidney Walker's Crit.ical Examination of the 
Texl of Sh., redueed the task to that of a gleaner following in the foot- 
steps of reapevs and pieking up a few negleeted ears. 
Of whal use the work will be, t.he evenl is to prove;- planned 
it was with a view to make çhe poet better understood than before;  



VIII l'reface to the Second Volumc of the First Edition. 
to la.y a firnler foundtion for the criticism of his text; to fimish 
reliable nmterials for English lexicography, which has, since the tilne 
of Samuel Johnson, increased in extent rat.her than in intrinsic value; 
-- to set right, although only one, yet certainly the most prolninent 
landlnark in the history of thc English language. 
While the general reader will look tbr assistance in thc definitions 
and explanations, seholm's and erities will be soonest p]cased, if satisfied 
by t.he exaetness of the quotations. Thcrefore eonmumieations coneerning 
errata will be extremely weleomc. 
Merely praetieal eonsiderations prevailed in ehoosing thc English 
language for the interpretations. No doubt the English of a Gcrman 
will often be fomd execptiolmble and try the indulgence a«d kindncss 
of the reader. But tlle anthor had no greater ambition,- if a lexieo- 
grapher may be allowed to be ambitions -- than to be uscfifi also to 
born Englishmen.

Prefi,ce to the Second Volume of the First Edition. 

The Appendix of this second volulne will contain, besides what 
has been promised in the preface of the first, a list of the Shakespcarian 
words forming the latter part in eolupositions, to meet a Wmlt hot Oldy 
felt by the author himself on many oeeasions, but intimated to him by 
some litenlry friends. In applying to it, it nmst a.lways be borne in 
lnind that it pretends to no higher claire than to be a supplemcnt to 
this dietionary, and has no other objeet than to eolnplete the quotations 
of the respective articles, by setting before the reader t.he whole range

of evidence to be found in the works of the poet. Fol" in very lnany 
cases the sense of silnple Wol'ds could hot be distinctly ascertained except 
ri'oto their COlnl»OUndS. Wherever the boundary line between English 
and Latin or French colnposition was hardly discel'nil,le, it was thought 
better to do too much than too little. 
One adva.ntage, at least, was gained by the new revision of thc 
wholc vocabnlary thus instituted. ]t led to thc dctcction of some words 
 indexed on the next following leaf  that had been overlooked by 
the compiler,  a fault which, if nobody else, those at least will bc 
inclined to pardon who evcr have bcen engaged in a similar labour. 
The recel)tion the first volulne has lnet with has been. in some 
respeets, bevond the lnost sanguine expeetations. The kind judgments 
passed on it I_,y the most eompetent crities were indeed the nlore grati- 
t3,ing, as they did hot, and eouhl not possibly, toueh the general design 
and tendency of the work, but turnod on details and the lnanner of 
treating partieular questions. The justness and soundness of a lnethod 
calmot be put to a better test than in its bearing on single points at 
issne. "Assurance noxv is ruade donble sure' that ranch that at first sight, 
and eonsidered by itself, eould not I,ut seem objeetionable, wiil be seen 
in another light, when in time the peculiar nature and the flmdamental 
lav of the whole will be fidly pereeived.

Prefitce to the Second Edition. 

This new edition of the Shakespeare Lexicon shoul,l ln'opcrly be 
ealled a lnere reiml)ression. The work being stereotyped, there was no 
seope for eomprehensive alterations and improvements. A eomplete 
reeonstruetion that would havê answered the many valuable suggestions 
of other Shakespeare students or even the eompiler's own ,dvaneed 
views -- espeeilly eoneerning the comparative authentieity of the Folios 
and Quartos  was quite out of the question. Ilis task was confined 
to thc correction of misprints and to some small additions for which 
room could be got by expunging what seenlcd lcss important. 
But, aftcr all, it is perhaps best as it is. Desirable as it lnay 
be to an author cntircly to remodel a wo,'k of the shorteomings of 
which he has become painfifily aware, there is no denying the fact that 
snch nexv editions altered and improved into Tfitc new books are, as a 
r,,le, an a.,moyance to the public. Nobody is so rich as hot to repine 
at being obligcd t,) buy the saine book thre or four times. Indeed, 
it ought to be a law in the relnll,lic of lettcrs that essential changes in 
books should be separately publishcd in the tb,'m of supplements and 
hot worked into the whole so as materially to change its fol'm and 
character. 
Besides. in snch a kind of book as this lexicon it is hot so much 
in the opinions of the author that its usefiflness consists as in the accu- 
racy with which the nccessary materials are brought together to enable 
those who consnlt it to forln an opinion of their own. And of this the 
readcr lnav be assured that in the rcvision of the work no pMns have 
been spared and that the correctness of the q,,otations will be round 
ail but absolute. 

Koenigsberg, Dee. 1885. 



Prehce t0 the Third Editi0n. 

The text of the third edition, publis]md aIter the Author's death, 
had to remain essentially unaltcl'cd, for reasons mentioncd in the 
t'OClncr prcfacc. Only VCl'y few slight mistakes in the quotations have 
1)ecn found and com'ected, and several short explanations addcd. Besicles, 
some asterisks wcre inserted, which refcv to the Supplemcut. A fcw 
additious to the Appendix (Quotations ri'oto t'oreign languages and Pco- 
vincialisms) have been indicated by bvackets. 
Thc Supplement contains a compilation of ncw interprctations of 
difllcnlt words and phrases, arrauged in all)habetical ol'der, selectcd ff'oto 
different modern annotatcd cditious and other books. As a rulc, thc 
opiuions of English scholars only havc becn repvoduced, who are thc 
most legitimate commentators of thc grcat English poet. With such 
iuterpvctcrs as Murray, Skeat, W. A. Wright, Furnivall, Dowden, Sidney 
Lce, Ellacombe, D. H. Madden, Wyndham, E. K. Chambcrs, Hcrfovd, 
Gollancz, Boas, among others, we nced scarcely look anywherc else for 
help. Iu a few cases, hovcver, somc interpretations given by American, 
Dutch, or Gcrman scholars (Furness, Grant Whitc, Hndson, Ch. Allen, 
Stoffel, Van Data, Brandl, Max Foerstcr, W. Franz, Khlge, Kopl)el. 
Schvoeel', Wetz, and a few others), or somc conjecturcs aud cxplauations 
of lny own have bcen added. 
Sincere thanks are due to Pvofessors Brandl, Focrstcr, Kluge, 
Wetz, and to Dr. Vordieck for- kiml advice and wthlable suggestions.
