Book Description
Excerpt from The Libraries of London: A Guide for Students One of the duties laid upon the University of London by the Statutes of 1900 is that of organising, improving and extending higher education within the appointed radius of thirty miles from the University Building. Among the instruments essential to higher education few, if any, are more important than libraries; it is therefore appropriate that the University Librarian should have under taken the first attempt to bring together into one work information concerning the various libraries of the Metro polis. Not only is this information of great use to general readers who have no personal knowledge of the literary storehouses of London, as well as to those who find them selves bewildered by the number of these libraries and are unable to compare easily the different opportunities which they offer; but it will also be of great service to librarians and to the governing bodies of libraries if they desire to make their great resources more useful to students by some scheme of co-operation. In the foundation and development of London libraries too little attention has been paid in the past to the resources which already existed. There is no doubt that a great deal of overlapping has taken place, and that money which has been spent on unnecessary duplication might have been better devoted to filling certain lacunae which should never have been allowed to exist; especially in these days when improved means of communication render it easy for readers to visit any library in the Metro polis. The first step towards better organisation is to survey the present situation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The English Dictionary from Cawdrey to Johnson 16041755
Author: De Witt T. StarnesPublisher: John Benjamins Publishing

Category : Language Arts & Disciplines

Pages : 435
Book Description
This study by Starnes and Noyes was immediately recognized as a unique and pioneering work of scholarship and has long been the standard work on the emergence and early flowering of English lexicography. Within the last 20 years we have been witnessing a remarkable scholarly interest in the study of dictionary-making and the role played by dictionaries in the transmission and preservation of knowledge and learning. It is therefore essential to have this classic work available again to all students of linguistic history. In its new edition the book has been vastly enhanced by a lengthy and invaluable introduction by Gabriele Stein, Professor of English Linguistics in Heidelberg and author of The English Dictionary before Cawdrey (1985). In her introduction to the present volume she sets out in scholarly detail the work that has emerged since 1946, which makes this study of the English dictionary from Cawdrey to Johnson as complete as the original authors themselves would have wished.
