The Imperial Dictionary English Technological and Scientific Vol 1 Author: John Ogilvie Publisher: Blackie & Son Ltd Date: 1861 Further Information: Black cloth hardcover with a brown leather spine, title lettering in gold. The spine has a Library label with an inscription.non-fictionThe Imperial Dictionary was a massive, progressive undertaking designed to be a bridge between a traditional language dictionary and a comprehensive technical encyclopedia. John Ogilvie built the text upon the foundation of Noah Webster’s famous American Dictionary. However, Ogilvie dramatically expanded it to include thousands of new terms born from the Industrial Revolution. It heavily prioritized the vocabulary of engineering, medicine, manufacturing, chemistry, and the arts, alongside a vast array of distinct Scottish and provincial British terms that Webster had omitted.flagstaff hill, warrnambool, shipwrecked coast, flagstaff hill maritime museum, maritime museum, shipwreck coast, flagstaff hill maritime village, great ocean road, book, pattison collection, warrnambool library, warrnambool mechanics’ institute, ralph eric pattison, corangamite regional library service, warrnambool city librarian, mechanics’ institute library, victorian library board, warrnambool books and records, warrnambool children’s library
