Francis George Fowler Livres
The Concise Oxford Dictionary
The Classic First Edition
The classic original edition of the Concise Oxford English Dictionary, first published in 1911 in a beautifully reproduced facsimile edition with a new introductory essay by David Crystal.
5,0Based on the Oxford English dictionary and its supplements.
4,4Had Dickens owned a copy of The King's English he would not have written 'your great ability and trustfulness'; he would have recognized the malapropism and realized that context demanded trustworthiness. In this classic reference book the Fowler brothers illustrate by examples all the blunders of English usage that are commonly made, and guide the reader to improved expression and style.

(The pocket Oxford dictionary has remained a favourite small dictionary since it was first compiled by the Fowler brothers over 50 years ago)
