Book Description
"In the following pages I have endeavored to give a simple account of problems which have occupied the attention of the human mind ever since the dawn of civilization, and which can never lose their interest until time shall be no more. While to most persons these subjects will have but an historical interest, yet even from this point of view they are of more value than the history of empires, for they are the intellectual battlefields upon which much of our progress in science has been won. To a few, however, some of them may be of actual practical importance, for although the schoolmaster has been abroad for these many years, it is an unfortunate fact that the circle-squarer and the perpetual-motion-seeker have not ceased out of the land." -Preface

Book Description
Modern dictionaries are the result of a paring away of the glory of the English language, so that merely standard, functional, current words remain. The price paid for such convenience is the thousands of delightful words never used. This volume saves such words from obliteration. "Like animals, plants and book reviewers, words can become extinct, but Grambs is here to salvage the most missed of the lexical dinosaurs".--"San Francisco Chronicle".
