[The title continues - "together with many originals, on business, duty, amusement, affection, courtship, marriage, friendship, and other subjects. To which is prefixed a compendious grammar of the English tongue. Also a table of the clerk-like contraction of words, for the dispatch of business; and the proper mode of addressing people of all ranks, either in writing or discourse; and some necessary orthographical directions. With a selection of some beautiful poetical epistles, and various forms of polite messages".]. 12mo, cancellans title page, pp xii, 252, a little age-toned and slighly used internally, but still good and sound, contemporary calf, rubbed and slightly worn, the spine is un-lettered and lacking a small piece at the base. RARE. [With the book label of Joseph Severs and the signature of Agnes Gardner - husband and wife - and both of Kendal.]. Full Leather. Good.
