About This Item

Samuel S. and William Wood, New York, 1858; Fourth Edition; Revised and Improved; 8vo, 1,070 pages with a two-page Goold Brown catalogue at the back; green buckram; yellow spine titles; frontispiece engraved portrait plate of the author, with guard tissue. A prodigious reference on the English language, covering every conceivable aspect of grammar and usage, plus substantial material on the origins and history of the English tongue. Divided into four sections: Orthography, Etymology, Syntax, and Prosody, plus a 138-page "Key To The Improprieties For Correction," and a substantial four-part Appendix. Very Good, spine panel moderately sunned. Pages clean, crisp, no foxing, binding tight, sound, and square, corners sharp, no ownership signatures or any other markings of any kind. Not an ex-library. A grammatical masterwork, by an indefatigable American grammarian.
