|title=The Horologicon: A Day's Jaunt Through the Lost Words of the English Language
|rating=5
|genre=Trivia
|summary=This book just had to be called ''The Horologicon''. Originally it meant a daily diary of devotion for a priest or monk. Our author knows it is a rare word these days and gives it to his modern Book of Hours, which is a guide to similarly obsolete, charming or unusually whimsical words set out, not as others do, as a dictionary, but in essays for every waking hour of the day, and the subject they're most likely to cover.
