Meanderings of Memory
''Meanderings of Memory'' is a rare book published in London in 1852 and attributed to Nightlark (probably a pseudonym). Although it is cited as a first or early source for over 50 entries in the ''Oxford English Dictionary'' (OED), the current OED editors have been unable to locate a surviving copy. OED editors made their search for the elusive source public in May 2013.
==OED citations==
The OED is a comprehensive multi-volume historical dictionary, whose first edition was published in installments called fascicles between 1884 and 1928.〔 The definition of every sense of every headword entry is accompanied by quotations, listed chronologically, from cited sources, to illustrate when and how the word was used.
These citations were mostly submitted to the editors by volunteer readers in what current OED editors describe as an early instance of what is now called crowdsourcing.〔 The editors selected a subset of quotations, including the earliest one for a given sense, for inclusion.〔 They typically verified the citations given, though some might be taken on trust based on the submitter's reputation or previous reliability.〔
The second edition of the OED included citations from ''Meanderings of Memory'' for senses of 51 entries: ''chapelled'', ''cock-a-bondy'', ''couchward'', ''day'', ''dike''/''dyke'', ''droop'', ''dump'', ''epistle'', ''extemporize'', ''fancy'', ''flambeau'', ''flesh'', ''foodless'', ''fringy'', ''full'', ''gigantomachy'', ''goal'', ''goalward'', ''hearthward'', ''idol'', ''inscriptionless'', ''lump'', ''peaceless'', ''rape'', ''re-'' (prefix), ''revirginize'', ''reliefless'', ''rheumatize'', ''sanctuaried'', ''sap'', ''sarcophage'', ''scarf'', ''scavage'', ''shoe'', ''slippery'', ''sun'', ''templed'', ''transplanter'', ''tribe'', ''tribunal'', ''trouse'', ''trunked'', ''un-'' (prefix), ''unbusy'', ''unstuff'', ''vermined'', ''vulgar'', ''warmthless'', ''wen'', ''whinge'', and ''width''. Inspection of the original submission slips in the OED archive revealed that they came from Edward Peacock (1831–1915), an antiquary, writer, and regular OED volunteer reader living near Brigg in Lincolnshire.〔
