About This Item
Chicago: Donohue, Henneberry & Company, Publishers, 1870. Book. Good-. Hardcover. First Edition (?).. A wonderful collection of beautifully written English essays, on a variety of subjects of daily life and attitude, projecting the finer usages of the language - it's grammar, style, and modes of expression - through the enunciation of solid principles of living, morality, and the world about us - and presented in an oft humorous style. Edition and printing not given, but appears to be circa 1870 or mid- to late 18th century if not earlier. Hardcover, 322pp., boards mostly clean and lettering clear, binding mostly firm, FFEP and title page intact but loose, pagination clear but age-browning at edges. Very rare in this early edition. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
