- Murray, Sir James (Augustus Henry)
(7 feb. 1837, Denholm, Roxburghshire, Escocia–26 jul. 1915, Oxford, Oxfordshire, Inglaterra).
Lexicógrafo escocés. Impartió clases en una escuela de gramática (1855–85). Su obra
Dialect of the Southern Counties of Scotland [Dialecto de los condados del sur de Escocia] (1873) y un artículo muy importante sobre el inglés para la
Encyclopædia Britannica (1878) lo convirtieron en un filólogo de renombre. Fue contratado por la Sociedad Filológica como editor del exhaustivo
New English Dictionary on Historical Principles, cuyo nombre pasaría a ser en 1879
Oxford English Dictionary. Se dedicó a esta labor con una energía e inventiva que llegarían a ser legendarias. El primer volumen apareció en 1884 y hacia el día de su muerte había terminado casi la mitad del diccionario.
