This work serves as a detailed exploration of the evolution of the meanings of various English words over time, highlighting the discrepancies between their historical and contemporary usages. Trench aims to enrich the reader's understanding of language by dissecting word transformations and providing insights into their origins and contextual applications.  The opening of the volume establishes its purpose and approach, emphasizing Trench's intent to engage general readers in the study of language. He acknowledges the limitations of his work, expressing a desire to stimulate curiosity rather than provide exhaustive details on every word. Trench discusses the importance of being aware of how meanings have shifted subtly yet significantly over the years, potentially leading to misunderstandings of classic literature. The preface is framed as both an introduction to the glossary itself and an invitation for readers to appreciate the dynamic nature of language through careful examination of selected examples.
