Excerpt from An Etymological Dictionary or Analysis of the English Language: Containing the Radicals and Definitions of Word Derived From the Greek, Latin, and French, Languages; And All the Generally Used Technical and Polite Phrases, Adopted From the French and Latin There is little danger (though there is some, ) of our mistaking the true signification of our vernacular dia lect, - the anglo-saxon.
