Books on Etymology and the English Language

[macswin]

Here are some books on English etymology and the English Language. they are purely for research purposes and very helpful for learning about our language and its history.

They may seem to have no bearing on this forums topics, but Laws are written in the English language, people argue in English, people here write in English so I believe they have supreme significance even if it is just for educational purposes.

the books are, in no particular order:
