Below you will see Alpha Dictionary's current listing categories. However, if you can't find the specialty you need, drop us a line through our contact page and we will try to find it.

Ambrose Bierce: The Devil's Dictionary

Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce was an extraordinary man. He was born in 1842, and is supposed to have died in about 1914. Supposed, that is, not in the sense that Bunbury was supposed to die (Oscar Wilde “The Importance of Being Ernest”, Act 3), but rather in the sense that his death then is presumed rather than known. Certainly it is known that he crossed into Mexico at that time; that Mexico was in the throes of a violent revolution at that time; that he claimed to be tired of life at the time; that Bierce’s instincts for self-preservation were under-developed; that his capacity for giving offence to others was highly developed; and that he has not been heard of since. A circumstantial case, it is true; but a convincing one.

He worked as a printer’s devil on the local newspaper when young. He later worked as a journalist for Hearst’s San Francisco Examiner. He began writing "The Devil’s Dictionary" in about 1881, and it was published progressively as a regular column. It was first published in book form in 1906. Bierce also wrote short stories, which have been unjustly ignored by the generality.

Bierce’s humour is as sharp and incisive as Dorothy Parker’s, but depends less than hers on recognizing the people, circumstances and issues which surrounded the writer. Instead, for the most part, all that is needed to appreciate Bierce is an unsentimental knowledge of the follies of mankind. He lays bare our frailties and vanities; he mocks our weakness and pretensions. In short, he was bound to live and die an outcast, which is the fate of all commentators on the human condition who do not have the decency to lie about their subject.

You can read extracts from the Devil’s Dictionary here.

Bierce, on resigning from the Cosmopolitan, said of William Randolph Hearst, "Nobody but God loves him..."

On eloquence, from The Devil's Dictionary: "The art of orally persuading fools that white is the color that it appears to be. It includes the gift of making any color appear white."
...
Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914), American journalist and short-story writer, penned The Devil's Dictionary, a collection of acerbic comments on his fellow humans.


(E?)(L?) https://sf-encyclopedia.com/fe/bierce_ambrose

Encyclopedia of Fantasy (1997)

Bierce, Ambrose (1842-circa 1914) US writer and journalist, of intense interest for his work in all areas of the fantastic. He began publishing work of genre interest with "The Haunted Valley" for the Overland Monthly in 1871, several years after he had left the US Army, having served throughout the Civil War – an experience that marked him for life. Indeed, throughout his career – which was marked by much travel, including a three-year stay in London – he gazed upon the USA with a born exile's cold and solitary eye, through fiction, essays and the black aphorisms published in newspapers over the years and assembled late in his life as "The Cynic's Word Book" (coll 1906; exp vt "The Devil's Dictionary" 1911; exp ed Ernest Jerome Hopkins vt "The Enlarged Devil's Dictionary" 1967).

Ambrose Bierce Biography

Ambrose Gwinett Bierce was one of the great journalists and short story writers of the 19th century American west. A veteran of the Civil War, he turned to journalism in 1868, joining the staff of the San Francisco News-Letter as a reporter and columnist. Bierce established his reputation with the novels A Fiend’s Delight (1872) and Cobwebs From an Empty Skull (1875) and became one of the most famous writers in the country. From 1887 to 1908 he worked off and on for William Randolph Hearst‘s San Francisco Examiner, and published collections of stories in In the Midst of Life (1891) and Can Such Things Be? (1893). His most famous work is a collection of satiric definitions, The Devil’s Dictionary (first published as The Cynic’s Word Book in 1906). In 1913 he set out for Mexico and was never seen again. Rumors of his fate include a suicide in the Grand Canyon, getting shot by Pancho Villa and death by pneumonia.

Egyptian hieratic characters, or abbreviated forms of written hieroglyphs. Under each letter will be given in this work the Phenician character from which it comes, along with an early form or two of the Greek and Latin derived characters (especially intended to show the change of direction of the letter consequent upon the change of direction of writing, since the Phenician was always written from right to left); and to these will be added the hieratic and hieroglyphic characters from which the Phenician is held to originate, according to De Rougé's theory. It is to be noticed that our ordinary capitals are the original forms of our letters; the lowercase, Italic, and written letters are all derived from the capitals. Our "A" corresponds to the Phenician letter called "aleph"; and this name, signifying "ox", is also the original of the Greek name of the same letter, "alpha". The comparative scheme for A is as follows:

As a Scot who has spent some time in the USA on holiday lately, I have discovered a bewildering array of words which are in common use on our side of the pond and invariably mean nothing at all or something exceedingly rude on the other side. I once noted down about fifteen of them and that afternoon formulated them into this dictionary. Since then the dictionary has thrived (well, lived) on contributions from readers and is steadily growing into a decent reference.

1828 edition of Webster's American Dictionary of the English Language
Word of the Day Comparison

(E?)(L?) http://1828.mshaffer.com/

Noah Webster, the Father of American Christian education, wrote the first American dictionary and established a system of rules to govern spelling, grammar, and reading. This master linguist understood the power of words, their definitions, and the need for precise word usage in communication to maintain independence. Webster used the Bible as the foundation for his definitions.

This standard reference tool will greatly assist students of all ages in their studies.

No other dictionary compares with the Webster's 1828 dictionary. The English language has changed again and again and in many instances has become corrupt. The American Dictionary of the English Language is based upon God's written word, for Noah Webster used the Bible as the foundation for his definitions. This standard reference tool will greatly assist students of all ages in their studies. From American History to literature, from science to the Word of God, this dictionary is a necessity. For homeschoolers as well as avid Bible students it is easy, fast, and sophisticated.

Webster's New World Basic Dictionary of American English

Taschenbuch: 736 Seiten
Verlag: Wiley & Sons; Auflage: 1., Auflage (4. August 1998)
Sprache: Englisch


Kurzbeschreibung
In the United States, 20 percent of the adult population is marginally literate. Of these roughly 30 million people, approximately 1.8 million are enrolled in basic skills literacy programs. Webster's New World has created a dictionary that is uniquely designed to help these beginning readers.

Webster's New World Basic Dictionary of American English defines 49,000 of the most commonly used words in the American English lexicon. These are the words adult readers are most likely to encounter in newspapers and magazines, on job applications and product instructions, on advertising billboards and their children's school progress reports. The dictionary defines these words in clear, easy-to-understand language, using only words that are themselves defined in the dictionary, but never condescending to the adult reader. Definitions are liberally supplemented with example phrases and sentences that put words in context and help new readers understand meaning and usage. Special notes on synonyms help new readers differentiate between words with similar meanings. And selected illustrations help readers identify and remember words.

This quality paperback book is designed for ease of reading and use, as well as for durability. Primarily created for native English speakers, it is also a valuable reference for more advanced readers of English as a second language. From the editors of the prestigious Webster's New World College Dictionary, the Basic Dictionary of American English brings the full scholarship behind that work to this important new offering in the field of literacy.

Dictionary Makers and the Dictionaries They Made

Synopsis
Samuel Johnson believed that the lexicographer was no more than a harmless drudge. This book reveals that the reverse is true, as the creator of the dictionary becomes more of a deity because of his involvement with words. This is the story of the lexicographer and his obsession with language.

An Analytic Dictionary of English Etymology - An Introduction

2007

The first dictionary of its kind, drawn from four centuries of research in twenty-five languages

This work introduces renowned linguistics scholar Anatoly Liberman’s comprehensive dictionary and bibliography of the etymology of English words. This unique resource addresses fifty-five words traditionally dismissed as being of unknown etymology. Each entry is a full-fledged article, shedding light for the first time on the source of some of the most widely disputed word origins in the English language.

Anatoly Liberman is one of the leading scholars in the field of English etymology. Undoubtedly his work will be an indispensable tool for the ongoing revision of the etymological component of the entries in the Oxford English Dictionary.

Lynch, Jack (ed.)
Samuel Johnson's Dictionary
Selections from the 1755 Work that Defined the English Language

Gebundene Ausgabe: 656 Seiten
Verlag: Walker & Company (März 2004)
Sprache: Englisch


From Publishers Weekly
Here is a real treat for word lovers: 3,100 selections from Dr. Johnson's historic dictionary, with definitions, etymologies and usage illustrations. To buss is charmingly defined as "To kiss; to salute with the lips." And laced mutton, readers learn, is "an old word for a whore." The excerpts from the dictionary itself are complemented by the inclusion of Johnson's earlier "Plan of a Dictionary" ("of all the candidates for literary praise, the unhappy lexicographer holds the lowest place," he opines) and three appendixes: one of Shakesperean citations in the dictionary, one of additional literary citations and a third of "piquant terms." ("Ape: A kind of monkey remarkable for imitating what he sees.") In his introduction, Lynch, a Rutgers University Johnson scholar, dispels the myth that this was the first dictionary. It was, however, the first standard dictionary, the one used by Wordsworth, Austen and George Eliot-and this edition of it is fascinating. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.
