The Evolution of English Lexicography Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Evolution of English Lexicography

An important collection of these early beginnings of lexi cography in England was made so long ago as 1857, by the late distinguished antiquary Thomas Wright, and published as the first volume of a L1brary of National Antiquities. A new edition of this with sundry emendations and additions was prepared and published in 1884 by Professor R. F. Wulcker of Leipzig, and the collection is now generally referred to by scholars in German fashion under the designation of wright-wnlcker.
