(Disclaimer: I have not read more than one definition in this book. I just thought it was neat to look at. :)
To the KING be all the glory!

Isn’t it amazing?! Hopefully I’ll have another post up soon. :p
Miss you too! Hopefully I’ll get around to e-mailing you again soon!
I love old books! They are gorgeous, with the aged paper, old-fashioned typeface, crumbling covers…
I love old books too! :)
I love old books, too. Well, I just love books period. How old is that dictionary? I can’t believe you’ve only read one definition in it. I have a feeling I would always be looking up words to see how the definitions of so many words have changed in the last hundred years – or even just the last fifty. I hope I remember to ask to see that book next time I visit.
The dictionary is from 1925! I’m surprised I never looked at the date before! I didn’t realize just how old it was! I’ll do my best to remember to bring it out next time you visit!
Thank you so much for the comment, Miss Caryl! :D
How fun! So many new words have been developed since then, and older words that were in use, but are now used with different meanings. For instance, the word “postal.” (One of the current definitions of the word postal is: To become extremely angry or deranged, especially in an outburst of violence.) Who would have ever though in 1925 that “postal” would ever even imply that definition?
