The Pocket Oxford Dictionary of Current English

The death of F. G. FOWLER made it possible for the publishers to express their appreciation of the valuable share he contributed to the now well-known books of which he was part-author; and in especial of his skilful planning of the present work, which has been considered a triumph of condensation, The great Oxford Dictionary with its Supplement (1933) is the ultimate source of most of the information contained in this modest compendium ; which offers to general acceptance ascertained results of more than half a century of research.

It is thus possible to claim for the little book unique authority among books of its size and price.
