floated: E 179 [Harriet Smith] ‘the near way quite floated by this rain’.
forgot = have forgotten: M P 434 ‘Julia is with the cousins, who live near Bedford Square; but I forgot their name and street’ (possibly a misprint).

genius: M P 19 (Fanny Price) ‘says she does not want to learn either music or drawing’—‘To be sure, my dear, that is very stupid indeed, and shows a great want of genius and emulation’. E 142 to resemble her (Harriet) would be more for her own (Emma’s) welfare and happiness than all that genius or intelligence could do.—The modern use is rare, but occurs e.g. M P 186 (Sir Thomas) was aware that he must not expect a genius in Mr. Rushworth.

great = large is used in contexts where it would not now be used: E 143 all the teachers and great girls in the school (though we might say ‘a great girl like you’). Cf. great house opp. small house. Dr. Johnson writes of ‘my great dictionary’, distinguishing it from the octavo abridgement.
In P 89 ‘papa and mamma always think it was her great friend Lady Russell’s doing, that she did not’ (i.e. that Anne did not marry Charles Musgrove), great may refer to Lady Russell’s ‘consequence’, not to the degree of the friendship.

ground = grounds (which occurs frequently): P P 195 she soon passed one of the gates into the ground.
