Excerpt from The Historie and Cronicles of Scotland From the Slauchter of King James the First to the Ane Thousande Fyve Hundreith Thrie Scoir Fyftein Zeir, Vol. 3: Glossary and Index

The Glossary and Index to Pitscottie, completing the book, are now published.

The Glossary has taken longer to compile than was anticipated. An attempt has been made to include in it not only all obsolete words - and to state when, although they have disappeared from the ordinary written language, they still linger in vernacular speech and are sometimes used by poets or writers who affect archaic expressions - but also the obsolete forms of words, and to compare them with the forms now in use. The latter class is in Pitscottie much more numerous than words altogether Obsolete.
