Reader's note

A 1982 edition of The Penguin Dictionary of Historical Slang by Eric Partridge. This is the abridged edition by Jacqueline Simpson. This book includes all the expressions used or coined before 1914. Nearly 50,000 entries recall the living speech of a world now largely lost. Often wry and flippant, occasionally 'blue', and sometimes uproariously comical, they recapture the rich idiom of English life through the ages, bringing back to mind the vigour of Elizabethan phrase, the ribald language of dockside and pub, the richer coinages of mess deck and barrack, the euphemisms and witticisms of the Victorian drawing-room, and the irrepressible wit of errand boys and costermongers.
