This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1874 Excerpt: ... University Librarian, Edinburgh, editor of Gawain Douglas, &c. Mr Small's introductory remarks are here subjoined. Perhaps the earliest extant printed Scottish Glossary is to be found appended to a Latin grammar which was issued from the press in the year 1595, of which the title is as follows: -'Latinae Grammaticae pars prior, siue Etymologia Latina in usum rudiorum.' The second part of the grammar is entitled, 'Appendix Etymologise ad copiam exemplorum una cum indice interprete.' The imprint being -'Edinburgh Excudebat llobertus Waldegrave, Typographus Ke-gius, 1595.' The name of the Author does not appear on the title-page, but from the laudatory verses addressed to him, prefixed to the work, the book is attributable to the pen of Andrew Duncan, Rector of the grammar-school of Dundee, afterwards one of the Eegents in St Leonard's College, St Andrew's, and minister of Crail, Fifeshire. Duncan was the author of another work on grammar, (' Studiorum Puerilium Clauis, ' printed also by Waldegrave in 1597), and of some controversial letters, caused by circumstances which occurred in his somewhat eventful career, a notice of which will be found in Scott's Fasti Ecclesiae Scoticanae, v. ii., p. 416. His death took place in 1626, when he was aged about 66. The Glossary appended to the 'Appendix Etymologiae' of 1595 contains the following words which are somewhat unusual 5 and, as several of them do not occur in Jamieson's Scottish Dictionary, it may be presumed that this work of Duncan was unknown to the great Scottish Lexicographer. 5 Abnuo, to nod fra, to refuse. Abutor, to abuse or spil. Accendo, suceendo, to kendill. Acipenser, a fish called the stuir. 4 Acer, -oris, -e, sharp, fell. Acer, -eris, the maser tree. Acinus, the kirnell of a rasing
