Stockholm, J. A. Carlbohm, 1788. 4:o. (10),897,(1) pp. Gustaf Widegren's (1742-1802) "Lexicon" filled the gap created when the Swedish-English dictionary by Serenius had disappeared from the market. In the preface Widegren underlines the importance of the English language in commerce and for the understanding of the many scientific discoveries made in England during that time. Many words and phrases have their respective sources mentioned. Widegren not only used expressions from the written language but also more humorous expressions and colloquial language. He emphasises terms linked to natural science, commerce and shipping.
