Excerpt from Scottish Alliterative Poems: In Riming Stanzas

Whatever literary merits the poems may have - and these Will be better appreciated by students of alliterative poetry than by casual -readers - they are chieﬂy valuable as linguistic documents; therefore the greater part of the Notes deal with the elucidation of textual difficulties. There are many of them, and some seem to defy solution; at least they have been left unexplained and even ignored by previous workers in the same field. I have made it a point to leave none unnoticed, even when the notice resolves itself into a helpless query. The Glossary has been made very full. The different forms of a word are put under one heading - an arrangement which will be use ful, I hope, but which has cost much labour on account of the variety of dialects.
