Walter W. Skeat - 1882

The pioneering work on the roots & origins of the English language.

The remarkable scholarship of Walter W. Skeat (1835-1912) was instrumental in the revival of the great works of early English literature, & he inspired later philologists & lexicographers.

This edition of his larger Etymological Dictionary is not a mere abridgment, but was entirely rewritten by Skeat.

A Practical Commentary on Holy Scripture

Frederick Justus Knecht - 1882

A famous book - one which received recommendations from 14 bishops when first published and which went through at least 16 editions - this commentary is not a work for scholars; but rather a very practical book for the ordinary Catholic.
