Excerpt from The Life and Complete Works in Prose and Verse of Robert Greene, M.A., Cambridge and Oxford, Vol. 15 of 15: Glossarial Lists; General Index, Index of Names, Special Lists of Plants, Animals, Etc.; Thieves' Vocabulary and Occasional Notes and Illustrations
BY the more than kind co-operation and self-denying persistence of my good and true friend, george H. White, Esq., of Glenthorne, St. Mary Church, Tor quay, the arduous task of love of a full Glossarial List, with related lists, has been completed, and is in this volume presented. Those who have had any thing seriously to do in such work, will appreciate the sense of release and relief when Finis was put to the whole. Practical experience Of editorial fallibility forbids assurance that everything has been done, and as it ought to have been done, in register ing the vast vocabulary of robert greene. But, subject. To human limitations, I shall be disappointed if this volume be not found a permanently important contribution to the record of our language, and helpful in many ways to students of our great literature. It were to belie my deepest feeling not to ask any grati tude excited for such record and help, to be largely given to my fellow-worker, and most sunny-hearted and genial of fellow book-lovers, Mr. White - all the more that he is only too wishful to conceal himself, whether he works with pen or brush. From my heart I thank him for many-yeared gracious and continuous and unfussy aid and sympathy.
