Excerpt from New Light on Some Obscure Words and Phrases in the Works of Shakespeare and His Contemporaries All students and lovers Of Shakspeare are aware that there are many Obscure and unintelligible words and phrases in his Plays and Poems, as well as in those Of his most eminent contemporaries, which his editors and commentators have hitherto been unable to explain. Critical examination proves that a large proportion of these are traceable to the Keltic, Gaelic, or Gallic spoken by the Britons who possessed the country before the irruption Of the Danes and Saxons, or the formation Of the actual English lan guage. This ancient, but long unwritten speech, though Dr. Samuel Johnson and others, who spoke without knowledge, were Of a contrary Opinion, was not wholly superseded by the Anglo Saxon, but remained to a very considerable extent in use among the labouring classes and the unliterary population, until long after the time Of Shakspeare, and exists to the present day in many Slang and unliterary words and the colloquial lanquage Of the uneducated or semi-educated vulgar. By the lights derived from these hitherto-neglected sources, the Author has been enabled to explain many passages in these immortal works, which have been puzzles and stumbling-blocks to English scholars for nearly three centuries. The work, Of which the following pages are Offered as a specimen, appeals to all admirers Of the poet, and to such students of philology as are ready to receive the truth whence soever it may come, and however much it may run counter to the preconceived Opinion that the English language is wholly Of Saxon or anglo-saxon derivation; and that it is in no way indebted to the original speech Of the British people. l lie Edition - handsomely printed on fine paper, small quarto - will be strictly limited to Hundred and Copies, each of h will be numbered and certified by the signature of the MIDI, and of which the price to the originaf subscribers will be One Guinea, and to non-subscribers One Guinea and a-hali.
