WALKER Autltor of ' The Critical Pronouncing Dictionary' Revised and Enlarged BY J. LONGMUIR, A.M., LL.D. LONDON GEORGE ROUTLEDGE AND SONS, LIMITED BROADWAY, LUDGATE HILL GLASGOW, MANCHESTER AND -NEW YORK 1890 IIAI./.IKI. F-AMDI.N I'KESS, LONDON, N.W. THE EDITOR'S PREFACE. JOHN WALKER, whose name is familiar to every student of the orthoepy of the English language, published his Rhyming Dictionary in 1775, twenty years after the pub- lication of Johnson's Dictionary of the English Lan- guage, and sixteen before the appearance of his own Critical Pronouncing Dictionary. A second edition, however, was not required till 1806, and, as Walker had been an Actor before he became a Teacher of Elocution in London, he naturally dedicated his work to David Garrick, to whose pronunciation on the stage, and fre- quent advice in the prosecution of his inquiries, he gratefully acknowledges his obligations for no small measure of whatever merit his work might possess. We have not had an opportunity of ascertaining the dates of all the subsequent editions; but we believe the last was printed in 1851. Walker certainly had the merit of first producing a work of this sort in the English language on such an extensive scale; for the work of Bysshe to which he refers, and of which the fourth edition was printed in 1710, extends to only thirty-six pages, on each of which are four columns of words without accent or explana- tion, which amount to a number between six and seven thousand, whereas the present work may claim the title of a sufficient dictionary of the language. A Rhyming Dictionary, properly so called, ought to bring together all those words that have the same ter- minal sound, although they may not end in the same letters; but such a collocation would have complicated the difficulty of finding a particular word and excluded some of the other advantages which the present arrange- ment affords. Hence words that are brought together on account of the similarity of their spelling, such as VI THE EDITOR'S PREFACE. Bread and lead, refuse to rhyme with one another; whilst words that are closely connected both by rhyme and reason, as lamb and dam, are, on account of their final letters, put far asunder; but, to compensate this slight inconvenience, an Appendix has been constructed, in which terminations similar in sound, although net in orthography, have been brought into one view, and numerous examples given of the practice of many of our cla&sical poets. In superintending the present edition in its passage through the press, we have omitted the repetition of those words that, in our Author's day, were beginning to drop the final k when preceded by c; we have altered the place of the accent in some words in conformity to present usage, but in others, concerning which there is a diversity of opinion, we have left the accent un- touched, as indicating Walker's decision; and in many instances we have improved the definitions of words and increased the number of synonymous terms, as far as the limits of a line would allow. After the lapse of so many years, it would readily occur to any one, that not a few words would require to be added, in order to keep pace with the progress of our language; nearly eighteen hundred words have accordingly been incorporated with the work.
