Discovery in Haste surveys the English printed medical dictionary, an under-researched area, from Andrew Boorde's Breviary of Helthe of 1547 to Benjamin Laräs surgical dictionary of 1796. The book covers pioneering works, compendia, translation dictionaries, glossaries, and encyclopaedic works. These dictionaries variously served students, educated lay people, and professionals in an age of limited access to medical treatment.
