The Macmillan Company, NY, 1898. 1st edition. Hardcover. Fine. "The object of this book is to give, from the literary point of view only, and from direct reading of the literature itself, as full, as well supplied, and as conveniently arranged a storehouse of facts as the writer could provide. The substitution of bird's-eye views and sweeping generalizations for positive knowledge has been sedulously avoided; but it is hoped that the system of inter-chapters will provide a sufficient chain of historical summary as to general points, such as, for instance, the nature and progress of English prosody and the periods of prose style." [Preface] A significant history by a very important scholar. Almost as New. A few uncut pages. 819 pages with a detailed index. Scarce. 1ST US EDITION.
