Scope and Contents

This book was first published in 1970 and consists of the Brown University Million Word Corpus arranged by word length using selected subjects to give 50,000 words. These words, each page with the same word length, were typed onto stencils by Ferguson and constitute this book. The repetitive typing of a single letter of the alphabet is reminiscent of Nannucci's typings. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
