The continued publication of inscriptions and papyri has brought many new words and meanings to light. The Supplement , the concentrated result of 12 years of continuous work by Oxford scholars, takes account of this burgeoning material.
Henry George Liddell was dean (1855–91) of Christ Church, Oxford, Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University (1870–74), headmaster (1846–55) of Westminster School[3] (where a house is now named after him), author of "A History of Rome" (1855), and co-author (with Robert Scott) of the monumental work "A Greek–English Lexicon", known as "Liddell and Scott", which is still widely used by students of Greek.
Lewis Carroll wrote Alice's Adventures in Wonderland for Henry Liddell's daughter Alice. [Wikipedia]
