An etymological dictionary of the Scottish language; to which is prefixed, a dissertation on the origin of the Scottish language. New ed., carefully rev. and collated, with the entire suppl. incorporated Jamieson’s Dictionary was first published in two volumes in 1808, then supplemented with a further two volumes in 1825. In 1808, its S section alone contained 2,200 entries, most supported by thoroughly researched written citations. Jamieson ranged across medieval as well as modern Scots, delved into etymology, and explored local varieties; he hunted among modern authors, periodicals and interviewees: his entry for the word collie, for instance, cites an entry for a lost dog in an 1806 issue of the Edinburgh Evening Courant. Before 1808, there were glossaries of Scots (such as that provided by Thomas Ruddiman for his 1710 edition of Gavin Douglas’s Aeneid, or Burns’s glossing of his own poems); and there had been plans for Scots dictionaries, including one by James Boswell who made a start in the 1760s then gave up on this language . . . being lost every day. But no one before Jamieson had completed a substantial lexicon of Scots. His investigation of historical usage helped pave the way for lexicography such as that of James Murray, whose New English Dictionary (today known as the OED) would be on historical principles. The current Scottish National Dictionary includes much material from Jamieson. All of this Rennie sets out with great clarity.
