Modern dictionaries, the kind most people use, are often the result of a ruthless paring away of many glorious words--so that only the standard, functional, current ones remain. A treasure by every lover of language, this volume reclaims past glories of the language, presenting magnificent words that have the scent of generations and societies past.

David Grambs has worked as a lexicographer, editor, travel reporter, and translator. He is the author of five other books pertaining to the English language, including The Endangered English Dictionary, and is coauthor of So You Think You Can Spell? with Ellen S. Levine.
