Johnson fancied that be could fix the language, but "confessed his error with his usual honesty. From the outset of his labours Murray observed the principle that the creative period in the language, the epoch of "riots," has never come to an end, but is still in perennial process; and he arranged for the ultimate incln- sion of modern word-creations, slang, scientific, terms, and for- eign words as soon as these had entered into literary use. He per- fected the system of illustrating the history of the uses of words by means of quotations arranged in chronological order. Over three and a half millions of these were amassed and sifted. In the spe plementary volume published in 1983 the field of quotation and of word sources is widened, the daily press being copiously drawn upon, The death has occurred of Sir In Murray's dictionary words, Bhupendra Mitra, High Commis- doner for India in the United living and dead, subsist in a last Kingdom from 1931 to 1936 ing monument, and so does their
