About the Book A dictionary is a collection of words in one or more specific languages, generally displayed alphabetically, which often incorporate definitions, usage, etymologies, pronunciations, translation, etc. It may also be a book that shows the words in one language with their equivalent in the other language, although this is also known as a lexicon. The most ancient dictionaries were Akkadian Empire (Syria) cuneiform tablets that contained bilingual Sumerian–Akkadian wordlists (2300 BC). In English the word "dictionary" was invented by John of Garland in 1220 when he wrote a book called "Dictionarius" to assist with Latin "diction". An non-alphabetical list of 8000 English words called the "Elementarie", was compiled by Richard Mulcaster in 1582.Also in this Book An encyclopedia (encyclopaedia) is a reference book that provides brief summaries of general knowledge or of a specialized field or discipline. Encyclopedias are comprised of topics that are generally arranged alphabetically but sometimes thematically. The entries are longer and more detailed than in most dictionaries. While encyclopedias have existed for 2,000 years, Chambers' Cyclopaedia (1728), the Encyclopédie of Denis Diderot and Jean le Rond d'Alembert (1751 onwards), and the Encyclopædia Britannica were the first to be presented in a form that we would recognize today.And in this Book A library catalog (catalogue) is a register of the bibliographic items found in a library or network of libraries that are spread over several locations. There are many other types of catalogs, including exhibition catalogs, music catalogs, database catalogs, font catalogs, stamp catalogs and auction catalogs.About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.

Excerpt from Theatrical Sketches: Here and There With Prominent ActorsThe coachman obeyed orders, and as they swayed over the car tracks from one side of Broadway to the other, the roof of the landau suddenly unlocked and fell open, leaving the young woman exposed to the storm. There was no time to lose, so, Without disturbing the driver, she opened her umbrella and sat calmly up in her large open carriage, the observed of all observers.Arriving at their destination the coach man was greatly surprised on becoming aware of what had occurred behind his back, but not stopping to bandy words the girl ran quickly into the house and disencumbered herself of her damp outer garments.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
