Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language, the first
great English dictionary and one of the most famous books in the
English language, appeared in April 1755. To commemorate the 250th
anniversary, this volume brings together fourteen original essays
by international scholars representing several disciplines:
literature, lexicology, linguistics, textual criticism and
bibliography. The essays explore familiar and unfamiliar aspects of
Johnson's masterpiece, ranging from the history of patronage to the
book's typographical design, from the political background to the
treatment of compound words. Challenging the myths surrounding the
book and offering the most comprehensive and wide-ranging study of
the Dictionary ever attempted, these essays present the latest
scholarship on the Dictionary and open up new perspectives and
directions for future research.
This volume is a collection of papers from the 1st International
Conference on Historical Lexicography and Lexicology at the
University of Leicester in 2002. The purpose of the conference was
to bring together scholars and academics from around the world
working as scholars and editors on historical dictionaries or as
practising lexicographers. The papers are, accordingly, arranged in
two sections, reflecting the distinction between those individuals
working on the historical development of dictionaries and those
considering the lexicological problems and challenges facing the
lexicographer in attempting to represent as fully and justly as
possible historical forms of the English language.

Parish Nursing is a handbook on health promotion and care within faith communities. Sections of the book address the context for parish or congregational nursing; models, roles, and settings for practice; issues for parish nursing practice; the parish nurse's collaboration with other health team and spiritual care professionals; and international perspectives of parish nursing. While the project had its initial roots in the Lutheran General Care System, it has been written so that nurses of all faiths should find it an extremely useful shelf reference or advanced-level text. Parish Nursing will be of interest to scholars, students, and advanced practitioners in community and public health nursing, psychiatric/mental health nursing, and primary care nursing. Originally published as Parish Nursing: The Developing Practice.
