datrappert | 2 andere besprekingen | Apr 24, 2020 | This two-volume set was advertised as "A Miscellany of popular antiquities in connection with the calendar". The days of the year are each presented with their relevant observance--church festivals, saint's days, holidays, etc., but the seasons are also noted with appropriate festivities such as the maypole dancing or midsummer celebrations. There are many humorous and interesting stories, biographies, historical footnotes, sketches and odd bits of human life and character.

TrysB | 1 andere bespreking | Jun 14, 2012 | Geniale e un vero piacere da consultare: se cerchi sotto “love”, diciamo, troverai tutti i proverbi che ne parlano e questi sono suddivisi per aspetto: il/la cecità/irrazionalità/valore/potere, ecc. dell’amore. Attraverso l’indice, si trova tutto. Abbastanza completo. Serve sicuramente a chi traduce in inglese ma credo sia un buon acquisto per chiunque ami la lingua e la cultura inglese.

Biblit | 1 andere bespreking | Jun 23, 2010 | I don’t really have any need for a rhyming dictionary – I am not a writer or poet. However, there is something wonderful about all of the phonetically arranged words.

siriaeve | Apr 26, 2008 | I used to use this book an awful lot, but needing to look a word up in the index and then go to the page with the rhymes is a slow process. Now, I'm afraid I just go to one of the many rhyming dictionaries on the Web.
