| Robert Cawdrey finishes _A Table Alphabe |
| 02 Jul 24 12:08:18 |
From: benlizro@ihug.co.nz This is the date at the end of the Preface. One of those pre-dictionaries. The first English word list with English-only definitions, arranged *in alphabetical order* (as explained in the Preface). It was in the "hard words" tradition -- 2,449 of them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Cawdrey --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05 * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2) |
