Abstract
THE first duty of a reviewer of the seventh and final volume of “Thorpe's Dictionary” is to congratulate those who have been responsible for the enterprise on the successful completion of their arduous task. As the first volume appeared in 1921, the publication of a fresh volume has become almost an annual event; but only five volumes had been completed when Sir Edward Thorpe died in February 1925. The work on the two remaining volumes has therefore been completed by Dr. Forster Morley, whilst Dr. Micklethwait has prepared an index to the whole work, which occupies more than 150 pages of the text of the last volume.
