Seventy years passed before JOHNSON was followed by Webster, an American writer, who faced the task of the English Dictionary with a full appreciation of its requirements, leading to better practical.results." " •,,"is laborious comparison o( twenty languages, thm.gh never pub­ lished, bore fruit in his own mind, and his training placed him both in knowledge and judgment far· in advance of Johnson as a philologist.

Dictionary." "The acceptance of an American Dictionary in England has itself had immense effect in keeping up the community of speech, to break which would be a grievous harm, not to English-speaking nations alone, but to mankind. The result of this has been that the common Dictionary must snit both sides of the Atlantic." , , , , "The good average bueiness-like character of Webster's Dictionary, both in style and matter, made it as distinctly suited as Johnson's was distinctly unsuited to be expanded and re-edited by other hands. Professor Goodrich's edition of 1847 Is not much more than enlarged and amended, but other revisions since have so much novelty of plan as to be described as distinct works." , , ,,' . "The American revised Webster's Dictionary of 1864, published in America and England, is of an altogether higher order than these last [The London Imperial and Student's]. It bears on its title-page the names of Drs. Goodrich and PortelO but inasmuch as its especial im­ provement Is in the etymological department, the care of which was committed to Dr. M.um, of Berlin, we prefer to describe it in short as the Webster-Malm Dictionary. Many other literary men, among them Professora Whitney and Dana, aided ill the task of compilation and revision.

  • Lucy Massey: a Forgotten Poet
    Lucy Massey: A Forgotten Poet ACING the Haymarket in Norwich and sheltered on the north F by the great mass of St. Peter's Mancroft Church, where Sir Thomas Browne's statue now sits, contemplating a funerary urn held in his hand, there was formerly a substantial if somewhat ramshackle house, built probably in the seventeenth century, its first floor project­ ing a little and having an attic story with gabled dormer windows. Here in 1822 Simon Wilkin had opened his bookshop and set up his printing works. Here, after Simon left in 1834, Josiah Fletcher brought his bride, Sarah Williams, and here were born their three children-Benjamin Edgington, Emma, and Lucy, the youngest, in 1842. The premises must have. been a hive of activity for besides housing the growing family in reasonable comfort, they provided for a considerable business enterprise, which after 1845 included the editing and printing' of the Norfolk News. For the children the location had much to commend it. Apart from all the interest pro­ vided by being in the heart of the city, two or three minutes' walk took them to the Castle mound round which the girls were wont to run with their hoops before breakfast. Benjamin went to school but the girls had a governess, who, Lucy wrote later, "taught us much of thought and poetry, but not the grounding education she was supposed to be giving".* In due course they learned Latin and the early morn­ ing hoop runs gave way to reading Virgil with father before he started his day's work.

  • Quaker Printers, 1750-1850 Presidential Address to The
    Quaker Printers, 1750-1850 Presidential Address to the Friends9 Historical Society, 1963 OME fifteen years ago an article appeared in this Journal, entitled: "The first century of Quaker printers."1 In it, S I dealt with the printers and booksellers who published books and pamphlets for Friends during the period up to 1750. That article looked back to some portions of Anna Littleboy's Presidential address to this Society in 1920 in which she dealt with the history of Friends' Reference Library and early printers and printing in the Society of Friends.3 It looked back further as well, back as far as the work of Nathan Kite of Philadelphia in the middle of last century. Nathan Kite's work marks the beginning of detailed study of the history of Quaker printers. It appeared originally in the columns of the American Friend, and was later pub­ lished anonymously in England by J. Harrison at Manchester in 1844, under the title—Antiquarian researches among the early printers and publishers of Friends' books. One other study should be mentioned: in 1933 the mem­ bers of the Bibliographical Society listened to a paper by Percy H. Muir, a director of Elkin Mathews the booksellers, in which he recounted the history of the Sowle firm, the printing house which, with its successors, the Hindes, and the Phillips family, printed and handled the great majority of Friends' books at least from the i68os until the beginning of last century.3 In this paper, the author spent some time detailing the weaknesses and inconsistencies in the present 1 Journal F.H.S., xl (1948), 37-49; xli (1949), 74-84.
