Description

The vocabulary of past times is always fascinating, especially when we see how it was pilloried by the satirists of the day. In this intriguing collection, David Crystal has pored through the pages of the satirical magazine ‘Punch’, and reveals how many present-day feelings about words have their origins over a century ago.
