1735 AD began
Cruden began work on his concordance in 1735, whilst working as a bookseller in London.
He worked alone from 7 AM to 1 AM every day and completed the bulk of the work in less than a year. The proofreading and layout took a little longer.
His brain was occupied with nothing else, so much so that he failed to notice the diminishing stock in his bookshop and the consequent lack of custom. "Was there ever, before or since the year 1737", writes his biographer Edith Olivier, "another enthusiast for whom it was no drudgery, but a sustained passion of delight, to creep conscientiously word by word through every chapter of the Bible, and that not once only, but again and again?".
