Omschrijving
Nathaniel Bailey:
An universal etymological English dictionary: comprehending the derivations of the gererality of words in the english tongue...And also a brief and clear explication of all difficult words...Together with a large collection and explication of words and phrases used in our ancient statutes, charters, writs...To which is added, a collection of our most common proverbs..
De laatste (zeer uitgebreide editie) die uit zou komen, uit 1802.
Mooie halfleren band, met imitatie leermarmer op platten, fraaie schutbladen. Miniem geschaafd, iets gebruind, een (zeer) net exemplaar.
First published in london in 1721, 'an universal etymological english dictionary' was the most popular english dictionary of the 18th century. Its popularity was such that the dictionary reached its 20th edition in 1763 and its 27th edition in 1794. Its last edition (30th) was published in 1802 (this edition). In compiling his dictionary, nathaniel bailey borrowed greatly from John Kersey 'dictionarium anglo-britannicum' (1706), which in turn drew from the later editions of edward phillips s 'the new world of english words'; like kersey s dictionary, bailey s dictionary was one of the first monolingual english dictionaries to focus on defining words in common usage, rather than just difficult words. Although bailey put the word "etymological" in his title, he gives definitions for many words without also trying to give the word s etymology - because he doesn t know what the etymology is. A very high percentage of the etymologies he does give are consistent with what s in todays english dictionaries.
