An expansion of Edward Morris' contribution to the OED, this was the first scholarly dictionary of English words peculiar to Australia and New Zealand, including loan words from indigenous languages. Published in 1898, it allowed linguists the opportunity to map, for the first time, the development of English in Australasia.
