Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
How many times, while searching through old letters, manuscripts, court records, etc., have you come across an unfamiliar expression or abbreviation and wondered what it meant? These are the times we all wish we had a specialist standing by to explain such obscure terminology. Here's a book that does just that. It contains thousands of little-used or old-fashioned words and abbreviations that you might encounter in the course of your research. It's the kind of book that pays for itself the first few times you use it by helping you interpret old documents accurately and make your work time more productive.
