Excerpt from An Irish-English Dictionary: With Copious Quotations From the Most Esteemed Ancient and Modern Writers, to Elucidate the Meaning of Obscure Words, and Numerous Comparisons of Irish Words With Those of Similar Orthography, Sense, or Sound in the Welsh and Hebrew LanguagesThose that are acquainted with the press, will be inclined to excuse a few typographical errors which do not materially affect the sense, and of which description are, I hope, the most of the errors to be found uncorrected in my work. If it shall be found that I have omitted much, let it be remembered that I have added a great deal, and if my work is not so full or perfect as was expected, still it contains upwards of twenty-thousand words more than are contained in former Irish lexicons, and consequently so much the nearer to perfection.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
