INTRODUCTORY REMARKS

71

in N. E. D. 1 cannot see the good of this, either from
the point of view of word-formations or from that of choice
of words. From the former standpoint, it is absurd to
regard simple formations like lakelet, womanhood, persistence,
devilry, as in any way formed anew by Tennyson or
characteristic of his language, for they are well-known by anybody
and used in well-known senses. From the latter
standpoint, it is frequently misleading to register the choice of
words under the different headings of suffixes, etc. Under
these headings, then, I have only included such formations
as are either new (not to be found in N. E. D. or C. D.)
or given as obsolete by these dictionaries. Cases where a
change of meaning occurs have also been given here. When,
however, some general tendency seems to be found in the
use of a group of suffixes, etc (as with adjectives and
verbs), or of compositions (as with participles) I have also
given a survey of this tendency and sometimes illustrated
it by words that may be found in dictionaries. All such
cases have been emphasized.

1 trust that no formations of importance will be found
wanting from the subjoined list.
