Synopsis
The Treasury Of Knowledge And Library Reference by William Pulleyn examines a wide-ranging reference-work that assembles etymology, urban history, and cultural lore across Britain and Europe. It discusses an internal title, The Etymological Compendium or Portfolio of Origins and Inventions (third edition, 1853, revised with aide from Merton A. Thoms), and blends linguistic origins with city lore such as London place-names, wards and streets, and notable institutions; notes on the Great Fire of 1666 and subsequent rebuilding; etymologies of places and seas; epithets and phrases; and the origins of common terms and idioms. The work also surveys royal titles, heraldry, dynastic lineages, saints, and social practices, connecting language history to urban and architectural history. Described as encyclopedic and anecdotal, it aims to illuminate how language, law, commerce, art, and urban life evolved together, making it a reference for toponymy, etymology, urban history, and cultural history.
