Does anyone read the Public Domain Review? There are often fascinating gems.

This one is a dictionary of Victorian slang - written in 1860! The article links to a scan of the book, as well as giving background on the work and author. Scroll down for an A to Z example of entries, such as “Old gown — smuggled tea and Pitch the fork — tell a pitiful tale” 😄
