Den stora Oxfordordbokens fullbordande. Vid det
sammanträde, som för en tid sedan hölls af the Philological Society, redogjorde
Dr. Murray for de förflutna tvänne årens arbete. Då denna
redogörelse lämnar oss en inblick i den arbetsmetod som följts, och då
Dr. Murray på samma gång meddelar oss, vid hvilken tid man kan
påräkna arbetets fullbordande, så taga vi oss friheten återgifva ett
referat af densamma efter den engelska tidskriften »the Athenaeum»:
»The senders of fresh slips had been: Dr. Mynor 12,000, Dr.
Furnivall 10,000, E. Peacock 6,000, W. Beasley 3,500, Dr. Sykes
3,000, M. Callaud 1,700, Dr. Brushfield 1,500 (making his total
70,000), Miss Poynter 1,500, Mr. Walkley 1,400, Mr. Becket
1,000 and others less—Canon Fowler, Messrs. Kingsmill, Becket,
Boulter, Grey, Talbot, Boyd, &c., with the Americans N. P.
Garrison, A. Matthews, C. K. Bolton, R. K. Bühler. The sorting has
been done by Dr. Murray’s younger children and Mrs. Walkey.
Dr. Murray has finished H, and is at "identify." He hopes to get
to the end of vol. v. in 1900. Mr. Bradley is in gl-, and will
complete G and vol. iv. this autumn, and then take up L. "G-o"
is nearly all in type, and copy for about three-quarters of the next
section after the coming April part has been sent to the printer.
He will probably reach the middle of L by the end of the century,
December 31st, 1900, and thus finish half the Dictionary. Ten
years’ more work, barring accidents, will then complete the book,
and on its completion the supplementary volume of additions will be
started. Mr. Craigie, who worked with Mr. Bradley for a year, is
now with Dr. Murray for another year, and will probably become
the third editor. All the material past H has been sub-edited, but
needs re-sub-editing, if possible by its former sub-editors, as large
numbers of fresh slips have been sent in. Mr. Brandreth is now
doing ’ ground17 for Mr. Bradley, and will soon re-sub-edit his old
letter K, of which Lord Aldenham was the first sub-editor. J has
