First published in 1870, this classic work is a 'museum of literary odds and ends', elucidating the etymology of thousands of some 20,000 words and phrases. Drawing on a lifetime's reading, Ebenezer Cobham Brewer (1810–97) touches on diverse subjects ranging from history and literature to mythology and magic.
