A GLOSSARY OF UNCOMMON WORDS IN THIS VOLUME.

_In the following Glossary, the explanations of words by CHATTERTON,
at the bottom of the several pages, are drawn together, and digested
alphabetically, with the letter C. after each of them. But it should
be observed, that these explanations are not to be admitted but with
great caution; a considerable number of them being (as far as
the Editor can judge) unsupported by authority or analogy. The
explanations of some other words, omitted by CHATTERTON, have been
added by the Editor, where the meaning of the writer was sufficiently
clear, and the word itself did not recede too far from the established
usage; but he has been obliged to leave many others for the
consideration of more learned or more sagacious interpreters._
