Liddell and Scott's Greek-English Lexicon, Abridged: Original Edition, republished in larger and clearer typeface
This is the abridged version of 1909 edition, often called the "Little Liddell". Simon Wallenberg has enlarged the typeface for easier reading and except for this improvement the publishers have left the original work intact. A Greek-English Lexicon. is the standard lexicographical work of the Ancient Greek language. Based on the earlier Handwörterbuch der griechischen Sprache by the German lexicographer Franz Passow it has served as the basis for all later lexicographical work on the ancient Greek language. No student of Classical Greek or indeed New Testament Greek could possibly be without this Lexicon. Although it is an abridgement of a larger work, it is by no means incomplete and in some respects is a better option than the larger editions. If you study the New Testament Koine Greek, or study Classical Greek, this book will be invaluable to you. The entries are succinct yet informative, and each entry will tell you how a word has been used in different periods of Greek literature. Therefore, if one word has been employed in different uses in Homeric literature, compared to the New Testament, this Lexicon will let you know. This edition of the Liddell and Scott is a comprehensive lexicon of the classical Greek and remains the best lexicon for the New Testament, as the definitions offered in the Little Liddell are so precise you will rarely find them to be wrong. It was edited by Henry George Liddell and Robert Scott, It is now conventionally referred to as Liddell & Scott. The first editor of the LSJ, Henry George Liddell, was Dean of Christ Church, Oxford, and the father of Alice Liddell, the eponymous Alice of the writings of Lewis Carroll..

Little Dramas of Old Bakersfield
About Little DramasLittle Dramas of Old Bakersfield may seem but a light and whimsical work. It is not. There is a great deal of true sentiment there, much original history, and a trove of keen observation This may have been Rush Blodget’s only published work, but it was not his only writing He was our family historian and genealogist par excellence, and his interest and output was phenomenal. He collected information and printed exhaustively after doing his own careful research; interviewing and corresponding with ancient pioneers, collecting letters, faded photographs and mementos, and then organizing them all for his descendants. Little Dramas… gives amazingly accurate picture of our town in its rough early days. And it isn’t the famous names—Father Garces, Col. Baker—who make it so, but the motley cast of local characters he has pulled from his memory. The book clearly describes the connections to the gold mines and oil wells, the political struggles and the many personalities living in the area. Upon reading the serious historians—Dr. Boyd, Richard Bailey, Frank Latta—I began to know the early inhabitants quite well. Rush’s Little Dramas… let me see Bakersfield in a new light. His insights were fresh and unique, putting life into people who were stiff and formal in official histories. Every reading revealed more layers, and still does. I am sure there will be always those who are interested in Bakersfield’s early days and will be pleased as I am to see it reprinted..
