	OXFORD ENGLISH DICTIONARY - HighBeam Encyclopedia
		The foremost DICTIONARY of the English language, initiated by the Philological Society as The New English Dictionary on Historical Principles (NED) and published by Oxford University Press, 1st edition 1928 (12 volumes, with later Supplements), 2nd edition 1989 (20 volumes).
		Shortly after its founding in 1842, the Philological Society appointed an ‘unregistered words committee’ to collect English words not listed in existing dictionaries, and its members, Herbert Coleridge, Frederick Furnivall, and Richard Chenevix Trench, came to the conclusion that a large new work was required.
		This meant that for the earlier centuries printed texts had to be prepared of manuscripts not hitherto easily available; he therefore founded in 1864 the Early English Text Society and in 1865 the Chaucer Society, preparing editions of texts of general benefit as well as immediate value to the project.

	Henry Bradley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He also served as President of London’s Philological Society, which still exists, and helped found the Society for Pure English, along with the renowned Henry Watson Fowler and others.
		It was for the S.P.E. that Bradley wrote his last piece, an introduction to “Tract No. XIV: On the Terms Briton, British, Britisher.” He wrote the first three paragraphs, suffered a stroke, and died two days later.
		In his Author’s Preface, Bradley addresses the book “to educated readers unversed in philology,” and he succeeds in popularizing his specialty and making it readable rather than resorting to jargon, which he considered an affront to plain English.

	You Could Look It Up - New York Times
		IN 1875, more than 15 years after the Philological Society of London had set out to assemble a new English dictionary, the incumbent editor, Frederick Furnivall, acknowledged that he had simply bogged down.
		So it was discreetly arranged, by an advocate of Murray among the Philological Society's members, that he receive one, an honorary LL.D. from Scotland.
		This was done in recognition of a book written by Murray in his spare time, ''The Dialect of the Southern Counties of Scotland.'' Meanwhile, the dictionary enterprise had stalled under the maladministration of Furnivall, and simultaneously there was the unsettled question of who exactly would emerge as an appropriate publisher-patron.

	Funding: Case Studies - The Hangon Institute Library
		During the colonial period, the institute was a philological society made up of foreigners, and the present-day library is the result of the active collecting of the society's scholars during the 19th and early 20th centuries.
		When the colonial period came to an end, the philological society's members withdrew to their native land, but to this day the society maintains a continuing relationship with the Hangon Institute, which provides access to its collections for visiting scholars from overseas.
		Possibly with the active support of the overseas philological society, a campaign could be launched that would seek private and institutional donations, as well as contributions from funding agencies.

		Consequently, some of the findings from my recent researches into the 19th-century activities of the Philological Society of London (the oldest learned society in Britain dedicated to the study of language) and its sister societies will be incorporated into the early chapters of my thesis.
		The principal aim of my doctoral thesis is to determine the extent to which (and the various ways in which) the learned societies as institutions, and the special interests of the personalities actively involved in researching and promoting the discipline, have dictated the development of British linguistics in the 20th century.
		Professor Linn first aroused my interest in the Philological Society when, in my final year as an undergraduate student of the English Language with Linguistics degree in Sheffield, I approached him armed with the vague notion of writing a dissertation in the field of 19th-century linguistic science.

		In 1879 Oxford’s Philological Society commissioned a London schoolmaster of Scottish descent named James Murray to edit a complete dictionary of the English language, one that would offer word histories as well as determine correct usage.
		The society, on the one hand, demanded impeccable scholarship, extraordinary detail and etymological rigor, while on the other hand it pressured Murray to complete the volumes faster.
		For a time, while Murray was informing the Philological Society that the work would take 16 or 17 years rather than the contractual 10 years, it was agreed that Murray should cover 33 words a day.

		The National Benevolent Societies, whose relation to the Churches is here discussed, do not include such societies, as the American Bible So- ciety, which are constructed upon a Union basis, but only those which are supported almost exclusively by Congregationalists, and regarded as belonging to the Congregational denomination.
		A meeting of the Society, as such, composed as it is of tens of thousands of members, is an impracticability.
		This honored and beloved Society belongs to the churches, and they ought to have it in possession, that they may breathe into it their own church-life.

		For the Philological Society to trace the usage of every word throughout the history of English literature would seem a daunting, if not impossible, task, but Dr. Trench had a revolutionary idea.
		But it was the motivation behind the creation of the OED, the first full edition of which would not be published until 1928, that caused me to pause when I read the subject line in the e-mail I received from U.S. ENGLISH Inc., an organization fighting to make English the official language of government.
		Winchester writes that Dr. Trench "firmly believed, as did most of (the Philological Society's) 200 members, that some kind of divine ordination lay behind what seemed then the ceaseless dissemination of the English language around the planet.

		Trench played a key role in the first months of the project, but his ecclesiastical career meant that he could not give the dictionary the continued attention that it needed over a period that, it was realized, might easily be as long as ten years.
		At the same time the Society had become concerned about the publication of what it was now clear would have to be an immensely large book.

		Since the advent of the first English dictionary by Robert Cawdrey in the early 17th century, there was no record of the English language "in its entirety." That is, until a group of scholarly lexicographers from the Philological Society of London undertook the enormous task in late 19th century.
		He suggested in two papers presented to the society that the English language dictionaries available at the time were "incomplete and deficient." Trench believed that a new English dictionary should be constructed that encompassed "every word" in the language with accompanying quotes that stated its origin and use.
		Through an unusual physics experiment, police determine whether a woman was hunted or a victim of a hunting accident.
