Step into the world of Victorian era language with John Ogilvie's The Imperial Dictionary Of The English Language: A Complete Encyclopedic Lexicon, Literary, Scientific, And Technological (Volume I). This landmark encyclopedic English dictionary stands as a comprehensive word collection, meticulously gathering the breadth of 19th century English across literary, scientific, and technological domains. Every page is a testament to the intellectual ambition of its age. A true language enthusiasts tool. Ogilvie's monumental work bridges the gap between Samuel Johnson's pioneering vision and the later Oxford English Dictionary, providing a rich literary lexicon reference and a sweeping scientific and technological glossary. Scholars and collectors will appreciate its depth, while casual readers will delight in the historical linguistics study it inspires. Compared often with Webster's dictionary, this volume offers a distinctly British perspective-an academic research resource and an Oxford English Dictionary alternative, crafted for those who cherish the evolution of words. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Whether you are tracing the roots of English expression or seeking a cultural treasure for your library, Ogilvie's dictionary is more than a reference: it is a window into the language that shaped an era.
