Electrical rules, tables, tests and formulae: By Andrew Jamieson, C.E., F.R.S.E. New York: The Industrial Publication Company

Abstract

The lexicography of Scots began with 18th-century glossaries and lists of scotticisms, and continued through Jamieson's etymological dictionary and dictionaries of local dialects to the authoritative Scottish National Dictionary and Dictionary of the Older Scottish Tongue (now available together on-line) and one-volume spin-offs, including The Concise Scots Dictionary, The Scots Thesaurus and The Concise English–Scots Dictionary. Other specialized dictionaries can usefully be consulted for slang and for Ulster Scots, which are not well covered. The multivolume dictionaries are extensions of The Oxford English Dictionary, which can be consulted for etymologies of words shared with Standard English.
