Today for #NationalDictionaryDay we’re sharing these #18thcentury books from the #WallaceLibrary. Although they call themselves a dictionary, they are in fact more of an encyclopaedia, as at the time the clear distinction between both definitions had yet to be established.

#WallaceLibrary | Within several years of inheriting Richard Wallace was extremely wealthy which you can see in this receipt dated 1873 from the #WallaceLibrary & is in our current exhibition #RW200. In today’s money £10,000 is equivalent to about £626,100

One of the most interesting documents in the #WallaceLibrary is this impressive piece giving Richard Wallace his coat of arms, which features an Ostrich holding a horseshoe with the word ‘Esperance’ or hope underneath. #RW200 https://t.co/gG47u9tFdS

Richard Wallace received lots of letters during the Paris Commune when he was known to give money and set up various charitable causes across the city, and the #WallaceLibrary still have the envelope which Wallace made into an album. #RW200

#WallaceLibrary: Richard Wallace was born in 1818 & was called Richard Jackson, he wasn’t baptised until 1842 when he changed his name to Wallace. There is a copy of his baptism certificate from our archive in our current exhibition #RW200

Beauty calms the soul: one of the most beautiful books @WallaceMuseum is this catalogue of the Art Treasures Exhibition, held in Manchester in 1857. The leather cover and each coloured plate are artworks in their own right! #WallaceLibrary #LibrariesWeek

Not only art collectors! Here is a tiny selection of books from the surviving family library, showing the personal binding styles and crests of Sir Richard Wallace, the Marquesses of Hertford and Henry Seymour. #wallacelibrary #LibrariesWeek
