Entry lists

There are a number of ways to browse around within the Dictionary. To see how this can be done starting from the entry lists, take a look at the entry for magic n. in the Second Edition.

The entry list in the side-frame is shown in its alphabetical mode. Clicking on the entry for Magian a. and n. would then bring up a display of that entry.

The highlighted word shows the current entry in context, either alphabetically by entry or by earliest quotation date if you choose to switch to that mode. Each word in the list is a link to the named entry, allowing you to browse the Dictionary.
