Oxford English Dictionary
The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) is widely regarded as the accepted authority on the English language. It is an unsurpassed guide to the meaning, history, and pronunciation of 600,000 words— past and present—from across the English-speaking world.
As a historical dictionary, the OED is very different from Dictionaries of current English, in which the focus is on present-day meanings. You’ll still find present-day meanings in the OED, but you’ll also find the history of individual words, and of the language—traced through 3 million quotations, from classic literature and specialist periodicals to film scripts and cookery books.
The OED started life more than 150 years ago. Today, the dictionary is in the process of its first major revision. Updates revise and extend the OED at regular intervals, each time subtly adjusting our image of the English language.

Medical Heritage Library

“The Medical Heritage Library now has 100,000 digitized books. Zow! " The Medical Heritage Library (MHL) brings together a huge curated collection of digitised works related to health and medicine in the 19th and 20th centuries, drawn from some of the most important medical history libraries in North America and the United Kingdom." The 100,000th book is an 1893 missive on massage, which includes methods for eye massage that have completely squicked me out. I didn't want dinner anyway.”

The Medical Heritage Library includes volumes from both the British Medical Heritage Library and the US Medical Heritage Library.

Any book within this Library should be freely downloadable since it is a part of the Internet Archive.org.
