Murray, Sir James Augustus Henry (1837–1915), acquired his great philological and anti-quarian knowledge largely through his own studies. He made the acquaintance of many scholars with similar preoccupations, including
Skeat,
Sweet, and
Furnivall; he became a member of the
Philological Society, to which he delivered in 1868 papers later printed as
The Dialect of the Southern Counties of Scotland (1873). In 1879, after lengthy negotiation and much hesitation, he was appointed editor of the
Oxford English Dictionary, a monumental work which was to occupy the rest of his life. He laid down the lines on which the work was to be compiled, and persevered through many difficulties.
