We had a patron in last week looking for historical dictionaries other than Webster's. I thought our readers may be interested in seeing that we have quite a few historical dictionaries available!
Besides what we have in print, HeinOnline has an entire library devoted to historical dictionaries and reference materials. Spinelli's Law Library Reference Shelf has hundreds of titles available, and a section devoted specifically to dictionaries. Come by the law library to read this gem: Criminal Slang: The Vernacular of the Underworld Lingo (originally published in 1949) and other fascinating titles!
