The article focuses on "The Stanford Dictionary of Anglicised Words and Phrases." Ten years ago J.F. Stanford bequeathed to the University of Cambridge the sum of 5,000 pounds to defray the expense of "producing a dictionary of Anglicized words and phrases," for which he had begun to gather material. The plan of the work, drawn up by a committee of eminent scholars was virtually determined by the nature of Stanford's collections. The 800 attractively "open" pages of the "Stanford Dictionary," an exceedingly handsome volume, which shows that the Cambridge University Press is not disposed to lag behind its rival at Oxford in beauty of lexicographical printing.
