About This Item
London: M. Cooper, 1747. Sewn Binding. Disbound, fragile but complete. 84p., no illustrations whatsoever, presswork on mouldmade paper, each and every leaf held securely in its sequence and fastenings; flaws include remnant adhesions of item as a wraps-issue (see especially the terminal leaf), then as a fascicle in a bound volume (see spine panel). Also expect a somewhat rippled textblock, scattered flecking, ink-spots and smudging. A reading copy in pretty good shape, given the disbinding. Find discussion from an Englishman's point of view, of the problem of The Scottish Accent. The author allows that it will be easier to rid oneself of the (unfortunate) accent than to change customary phrasings.
