Då följande tillkännagifvande från de engelska förläggarne
rörande »The Oxford English Dictionary innehåller mycket af
intresse och vikt för nuvarande och blifvande svenska
subskri-benter, så meddela vi detsamma in extenso:
The Oxford English Dictionary.—Special announcement.
—1. New subscription price for the whole work. 2. Reissue
in Monthly Parts.—A new English Dictionary on Historical
Principles; founded mainly on Materials collected by the
Philological Society. Edited by Dr. J. A. H. Murray, with the
assistance of many scholars and men of Science.
Already published: Vols. I. and II., by Dr. Murray; Vol.
III., by Dr. Murray and Mr. Bradley. In course of
publication: Vol. IV., by Mr. Bradley; Vol. V., by Dr. Murray.
The following announcement is made under the authority
of the Delegates of the Oxford University Press:—The Oxford
Dictionary, when completed, will consist of from 12,000 to
13,000 pages, contained in Ten Volumes. Of these Volumes,
Three have been issued, and the Fourth and Fifth (of w7hich
many Parts and Sections have appeared) will be completed in
1900. Half of the entire Work will thus be finished with the
century; the Second Half (Vols. VI.—X.) will be produced
more rapidly than the first, so as to reach the end of the
alphabet in 1909.
All the present forms of issue will be continued, and at
the original price, which was fixed so low that each page costs
the purchaser less than a halfpenny—no more than the page
of any other large Dictionary.
But the determination of the extent of the work has made
the following new arrangements possible:—
*** Up to December 31, 1899, the delivery of the Entire
Work, as and when published, carriage paid to any address in
the United Kingdom, may be secured by the payment, through
any Bookseller, of the sum of Seventeen Pounds, net cash.—
This payment will entitle the Purchaser to receive, according to
priority of application, Vols. I.—III. in half-morocco, and the
remainder of the Work either in Quarterly Sections as published,
with the Publisher’s cases for binding, or in complete bound
Volumes, as may be preferred.
Those who have purchased the portion of the
Dictionary already published may secure delivery of the remainder
on similar terms by a proportionate payment of 9 Pounds 10s^
net cash.
