I always enjoyed opening it up and looking for one word I knew, and then that would usually lead to a cascade of finding weird new words. So, when looking for something to write a blog post about this week, I happily stumbled across <a href=\"http:\/\/alliance-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com\/UPUGS:everything:CP71153761930001451\">Murray\u2019s <em>A New English Dictionary<\/em><\/a>. The entire title is <em>A\u00a0New\u00a0English\u00a0dictionary\u00a0on historical principles; founded mainly on the materials collected by the Philological Society<\/em>, and it was published as 10 volumes somewhere in 1888-1928, making it about as old as the University. Though its binding is a little beat up, the inside is still in excellent condition (or at least it was in volume 7, the one I looked through). I was hunting for the word \u201clugubrious\u201d just because it popped into my head, and through that I learned the fun word \u201clug-loaf,\u201d which has no definition, just an example sentence that reads \u201cShee had little reason to take a Cullian lug-loafe, milke slop slaue When she may have a Lawyer.\u201d Let me know if that clears up anything for you.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/collinsunbound\/files\/2016\/04\/DictionaryPage.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-8216\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/collinsunbound\/files\/2016\/04\/DictionaryPage.jpg\" alt=\"DictionaryPage\" width=\"412\" height=\"381\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pugetsound.edu\/academics\/academic-resources\/collins-memorial-library\/archives\/\">Archives &amp; Special Collections<\/a> is open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 1:00-3:00 p.m. or by appointment.<\/p>\n<p><em>By Morgan Ford <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was one of those kids who would read the dictionary for fun.
