# An Essay on Man/Chapter 1

The DESIGN
HAving proposed to write some pieces on human life and manners, such as (to use my Lord Bacon's expression) 'come home to men's business and bosoms,' I thought it more satisfactory to begin with considering man in the abstract, his nature and his state: Since to prove any moral duty, to enforce any moral precept, or to examine the perfection or imperfection of any creature whatsoever, it is necessary first to know what condition and relation it is placed in, and what is the proper end and purpose of its being.
The science of human nature is, like all other sciences, reduced to a few clear points: There are not many certain truths in this world. It is therefore in the anatomy of the mind, as in that of the body, more good will accrue to mankind by attending to the large, open, and perceptible parts, than by studying too much such finer nerves and vessels as will for ever escape our observation. The disputes are all upon these last, and I will venture to say they have less sharpened the wits than the hearts of men against each other, and have diminished the practice more than advanced the theory of morality. If I could flatter myself that this essay has any merit, it is in steering betwixt doctrines seemingly opposite, in passing over terms utterly unintelligible, and in forming out of all, the temperate, yet not inconsistent, and a short, yet not imperfect system of ethics.
​This I might have done in prose; but I chose verse, and even rhyme, for two reasons. The one will appear obvious; that principles, maxims, or precepts so written, both strike the reader more strongly at first, and are more easily retained by him afterwards. The other may seem odd, but it is true: I found I could express them more shortly this way than in prose itself; and nothing is more certain than that much of the force, as well as grace of arguments or instructions depends on their conciseness. I was unable to treat this part of my subject more in detail, without becoming dry and tedious: Or more poetically, without sacrificing perspicuity to ornament, without wandring from the precision, or breaking the chain of reasoning. If any man can unite all these without diminution of any of them, I freely confess he will compass a thing above my capacity.
What is now published is only to be considered as a general map of man, marking out no more than the greater parts, their extents, their limits, and their connection, but leaving the particular to be more fully delineated in the charts which are to follow. Consequently these epistles, in their progress, (if I have health and leisure to make any progress) will be less dry, and more susceptible of ornament. I am here only opening the fountains, and clearing the passage: To deduce the rivers, to follow them in their course, and to observe their effects, would be a task more agreeable.

# An Essay on Man

"The Essay on Man in modern editions is a single poem, arranged in four “Epistles.” But in the beginning, each epistle was published separately, the first on February 20 [1733], the second on March 29, the third on May 17, and the fourth in the next year, on January 24, 1734. In May of 1733 the first three epistles were issued as a stitched together pamphlet, but the pamphlet was made up of separately issued copies of the three epistles. It was not until May 2, 1734, that all four parts were printed together as a single poem.", Alexander Pope; a bibliography, by Reginald Harvey Griffith (1922), Volume I, part I, p.211.
This transcription is of an edition published in 1751.

# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/keuchen

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry keuchen. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ keuchen, verb, ‘to gasp,’ from Middle High German kûchen, ‘to breathe’; Middle High German kîchen, ‘to breathe with difficulty, gasp,’ has also been absorbed in the Modern High German verb. Corresponding to Dutch kugchen, ‘to cough,’ from Middle Dutch kuchen, Anglo-Saxon cohhettan, Middle English coughen, English to cough. — Middle High German kîchen is based on a Teutonic root kik, which appears in Low German, Dutch, and English, in a nasalised form; Low German (Holstein) kinghosten, Dutch kinkhoest, masculine, English chincough (for chinkcough), ‘whooping-cough’; allied to Swedish kikhosta, Danish kighoste, Anglo-Saxon čincung.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/kiesen

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry kiesen. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ kiesen, verb, ‘to select,’ from Middle High German kiesen, Old High German chiosan, ‘to test, try, taste for the purpose of testing, test by tasting, select after strict examination.’ Gothic kiusan, Anglo-Saxon ceósan, English to choose. Teutonic root kus (with the change of s into r, kur in the participle erkoren, see also Kur, ‘choice’), from pre-Teutonic gus, in Latin gus-tus, gus-tare, Greek γεύω for γεύσω, Indian root juš, ‘to select, be fond of.’ Teutonic kausjun passed as kusiti into Slavonic.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/kirre

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry kirre. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ kirre, adjective, ‘tractable,’ from Middle High German kürre, Middle German kurre, kirre, adjective, ‘tame, mild’; derived, by suppressing the w, from earlier Old High German *churri, *quirri; compare Gothic qaírrus, ‘meek,’ Old Icelandic kvirr, kyrr, adjective, ‘still, quiet.’ Perhaps based on the Teutonic root gër appearing in Modern High German Köder; yet Lithuanian gurti, ‘to grow weak, relax,’ gurus, ‘crumbling,’ may also be allied.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/kerben

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry kerben. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ kerben, verb ‘to notch,’ from the equivalent Middle High German kërben (with a strong participle gekurben in Lower Rhenish); an originally strong verb with the graded forms kërfan, karf, kurbum, korban (compare Anglo-Saxon čeorfan, English to carve, Dutch kerven); the final f of the stem kerf is attested by the Middle High German kërve, a variant of kërbe; Gothic *kaírfan is wanting. The root kerf is found also in Greek γράφω, ‘to write,’ properly ‘to cut in, scratch’ (compare High German reißen with English to write), which with Teutonic kerf points to a Sanscrit root *gṛph.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/kichern

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry kichern. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ kichern, verb, ‘to titter,’ Modern High German only; allied to Old High German chihhazzen, ‘to laugh,’ a variant of Old High German chahhazzen (Middle High German kachzen); compare also Middle High German kah, masculine, ‘loud laughter,’ and Middle High German kachen, ‘to laugh loudly’; the ch is not based, as in other instances, on Teutonic k, but following Anglo-Saxon ceahhet an, ‘to laugh,’ on Old Teutonic hh. The cognates are onomatopoetic, the root of which cannot be discovered. In Greek similar terms were coined, καχάζω, καγχάζω, καγχαλάω, καγχλάζω, ‘to laugh loudly,’ καχλάζω, ‘to splash and bubble.’ On account of the non-permutation of the consonants the terms cannot have been originally allied. The Greek words may, however, be cognate with Sanscrit kakh, ‘to laugh.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/kein

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry kein. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ kein, numeral adjective, ‘no, none,’ from Middle High German kein, shortened from dechein, Old High German dihhein, also Old High German dohh-ein, nihhein, nohhein, all of which are compounded with ein. The meaning of Old High German and Middle High German dech is obscure.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/kennen

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry kennen. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ kennen, verb, ‘to know, be acquainted with,’ from the equivalent Middle High German kęnnen, Old High German chęnnen. The simple form was very little used in Middle High German and Old High German, the usual words being the compounds Old High German irchęnnen, Middle High German erkęnnen, and Old High German bichęnnen, Middle High German bekęnnen, with the meanings of Modern High German kennen. The corresponding Gothic kannjan (uskannjan), as well as Anglo-Saxon cęnnan, gecęnnan, signifies ‘to make known.’ This double sense, which is combined in Old Icelandic kenna, is explained by the ​fact that Old Teutonic kannjan is a factitive of the Old Teutonic preterite-present kann, infinitive kunnan, ‘to know’; erkennen is a derivative ‘to inform oneself.’ Compare further references under können.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/kernen

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry kernen. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ kernen, verb, ‘to churn,’ allied to English churn, Anglo-Saxon *čirne, *čyrne, Dutch karn, Old Icelandic kirna, feminine, ‘churn,’ with which Anglo-Saxon čyrnan, English to churn, and the equivalent Dutch karnen are also connected. Akin to Modern High German (Up. Palat.) kern, ‘cream,’ Middle Dutch kerne, Scandinavian (Icelandic) kjarne, ‘cream,’ which perhaps are identical with Kern. Probably Teutonic kirnjôn, ‘churn,’ and kirnjan, ‘to churn,’ are primary derivatives of *kerno-, ‘cream.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/kehren

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry kehren. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ kehren (1.), verb, ‘to turn,’ from Middle High German kêren, Old High German chêrren, ‘to turn, direct’; a difficult word to explain both etymologically and phonetically; in Anglo-Saxon čěrran, čy̆rran (preterite čy̆rde), ‘to turn.’
kehren (2.), verb, ‘to sweep,’ from the equivalent Middle High German kęrn, kęren, kęrjen, Old High German chęrian, chęren; the Gothic form is probably *karjan, not *kazjan; also Old High German ubarchara, ‘offscouring, impurity,’ connected with Icelandic kar, neuter, ‘dirt (on new-born lambs and calves).’ Probably primitively allied to Lithuanian żeriu, żèrti, ‘to scrape.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/keifen

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry keifen. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ keifen, verb, ‘to scold,’ with the Low German form for the strictly High German keiben, Middle High German kîben, ‘to upbraid, quarrel,’ with the equivalent frequentative kibeln, kiveln; Middle High German kîp, kîbes, masculine, ‘wrangling manner, defiance, refractoriness.’ Middle Low German kîven, Dutch kijven, ‘to upbraid,’ Scandinavian kífa, ‘to quarrel,’ kíf, ‘quarrel.’

# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Ricke

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Ricke. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Ricke, feminine, ‘doe,’ by chance not recorded only in Modern High German; Middle High German *riche and Old High German *riccha are wanting, but may be assumed from the archaic form of Modern High German Ricke (Swiss rikχe). In Gothic *rikki, ‘doe,’ would be a derivative feminine form of Reh (raiha-).
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Riegel

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Riegel. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Riegel, masculine, ‘rail, bar, bolt,’ from Middle High German rigel, Old High German rigil, masculine, ‘crossbar for fastening’; corresponding to Middle English and English rail, Dutch and Swedish regel, ‘bolt.’ It is scarcely allied to Old High German rîhan, ‘to form in a row.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Rhede

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Rhede. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Rhede, feminine, ‘roadstead, road,’ Modern High German only, from Low German; compare Dutch ree, reede, Middle English râde, English road; from the English class are derived the equivalent Italian rada and French rade. Originally sense probably ‘place where ships are equipped’; allied to the Teutonic root raid, ‘to prepare’; compare Old Icelandic reiðe, ‘ship's equipment.’ See bereit.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Riege

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Riege. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Riege, feminine, ‘row,’ from Middle High German rige, Old High German rī̆ga, feminine, ‘line, row’ (Gothic *riga, feminine, is wanting); allied to Reihe, Old High German rîhan, ‘to form in a row.’ From German are derived Italian riga, ‘line, strip,’ and rigoletto, ‘chain-dance.’
