This section includes all of the known Prefaces issued during the publication of the First Edition (1884–1928). Many parts and sections were issued with Prefaces-or, in some cases, short prefatory notes-written by the relevant Editor in addition, when a volume, or a half-volume, or a particular letter was completed, a separate Preface might be produced for it. It continued to be possible to purchase the Dictionary in the form of ‘parts’ of roughly the same size as the earliest fascicles, these being generally equivalent to five single sections. The aim was to produce at least one section every quarter sometimes it was possible to issue a ‘double section’, or even on occasion a ‘triple section’, containing twice or three times the usual number of pages. From 1894 it was decided to issue shorter fascicles called ‘sections’ a typical section contained 64 or 72 pages. The earliest fascicles were called ‘parts’, and contained over 300 pages. The First Edition of the Dictionary was originally issued in short parts or sections-now often called ‘fascicles’-as well as in volumes (and, later, half-volumes).
