CENTURY DICTIONARY An encyclopedic lexicon of the English language ... 1st edition, 6 volumes, illus. in the text, contemporary half light tan calf, cloth boards, original decorative limp cloth covers bound in, folio, New York: Century Co., [1989-1991] Note: With the bookplate of Sir David Salomans (1851-1925), electrical engineer and pioneer of the motor car. He organised the first motor show in Britain in 1895 and was almost single handedly responsible for the abolition of the requirement for a man with a red flag to walk in front of a horseless carriage. Amongst other things, the Dictionary sought to provide a more complete collection of the technical terms of the various sciences, arts, trades and professions than had yet been attempted. [6
