1903

To explain away the difficulties presented by the many words and phrases in this substantial volume, or to facilitate the comprehension of their historical, geographical, or other meaning, the authors quote largely and frequently from those writers, British and foreign, modern and of several centuries ago, who throw any light on the subject. These quotations are in English, Latin, French, Portuguese, etc.

All those who have studied the pages of Hobson-Jobson have agreed in classing it as unique among similar works of reference, a volume which combines interest and amusement with instruction, in a manner which few other dictionaries, if any, have done.

Raleigh, Hudson, the Pilgrim Fathers, Penn, Wolfe, and Washington—these are the names of but a few of the great English Colonists in America whose homes or memorials are described in this volume. It is safe to say that no early settler of importance has been overlooked by Mr. Huish. The book would be valuable for the pictures by Miss Chettle alone; as a whole it is one of the most acceptable works of its kind which has yet appeared.
