The Concise Oxford English Dictionary , today a world-famous bestseller, has always been a ground-breaking dictionary. In its first edition, The Concise Oxford Dictionary was adapted by Henry Watson Fowler and Francis George Fowler from The Oxford Dictionary (now known as the Oxford English Dictionary ).

Includes an introduction with an essay from today's foremost commentator on language, David Crystal, setting the book in the political and social context of its time.
