Item Detail

Glossographia anglicana nova; or, A dictionary interpreting such hard words of whatever language, as are at present used in the English tongue, with their etymologies

London, Printed for D. Brown [etc.] 1719

This book follows in the tradition of Thomas Blount one of Britain’s first lexicographers. This version of the dictionary was published posthumously in 1719 forty years after Blount’s death. The edition presented here continues to define "hard words," as was Blount’s practice.
