<DIV>I am happy to announce the recent publication of two books on the history
of Scottish lexicography:</DIV>

is the first full account of the making of John Jamieson's Etymological
Dictionary of the Scottish Language. The dictionary was published in two volumes
in 1808, with a two-volume Supplement following in 1825. Lists of Scots words
had been compiled before, but Jamieson's was the first complete dictionary of
the language. <SPAN

was a landmark in the development of historical lexicography and was an
inspiration for later lexicographers, including Sir James Murray, founding
editor of the OED</SPAN> <SPAN

</SPAN>This is the first study to draw on Jamieson's correspondence and the
surviving manuscript materials for the Dictionary and Supplement to reveal
Jamieson's working methods and the important contributions made by Sir Walter
Scott and others to his work.</SPAN> </DIV>
