Sir James (Augustus Henry) Murray

Philologist and lexicographer, born in Denholm, Scottish Borders, SE Scotland, UK. A grammar school teacher (1855–85), his Dialects of the Southern Counties of Scotland (1873) established his reputation. The great work of his life, the editing of the Philological Society's New English Dictionary (later called the Oxford English Dictionary), was begun at Mill Hill in 1879, and completed in 1928 at Oxford. He edited about half the work, but he created the organization and the inspiration for its completion. He was knighted in 1908.
