Re: Webster's 2nd; PF in Berg Collection
From
Date
Body
During the fifties, VN looked at psychiatric journals.
VN's dictionary was Webster's 2nd, not the 3rd--which was a significant
abridgement of the 2nd.
Dear Stephen Blackwell,
Yes, I did manage to confuse Webster's 3rd with W;s 2nd. I bought a copy of
the 2nd edition a few years ago and I can't imagine trying to figure out
Nabokov without it.
And for the rest - - what fabulous "dollups"!
thank you,
Carolyn
p.s. I'll have to re-read "The Eye" - - last read it decades ago.
