- catalog abstract ""The dictionary is intended as a guide to fashions no longer fashionable, to the use of objects no longer part of our daily lives, and to past beliefs, practices, outlooks, theologies, and philosophies."--Preface. History buffs want to know more than just dates and dry facts. They want to know how people lived: what they ate, how they spoke, how they dressed, what games they played, what their homes looked like. This dictionary offers us a key to the past. It explains what part each object or ritual played in the life of the household and the community. It gives us an understanding of the society, by revealing the fascinating details of life, and allows the reader to travel back in time and experience a typical day in any century from the sixteenth to our own. The book shows social life in all its variety, and it opens a whole new world of understanding. Containing a wealth of unexpected information, this is a book to give hours of pleasure, whether browsed through or used for reference.--From publisher description.".
