It’s #FishyFriday and these gilt-stamped beauties on our copy of John Ray’s Collection of English VVords Not Generally Used (London, 1674) are ready for their debut!
We’re already planning to incorporate some of the amazing vvords featured in this collection into our vocabulary, including Flizze, Fudder, and Fuzzen.
