About This Item
Lynn, MA: Jackson & Phillips, 1963. First edition, 8vo, pp. [8], 207; illustrations in the text; original light green cloth, spine lettered in black with some chipping to lettering, bookplates, else very good in dust-wrapper with a few chips at edges. "Noah Webster, Samuel Johnson and their many worthy successors did not undertake to be interesting for the excellent reason that they thought the generality of mankind mistrusts knowledge unless it be tedious. We do not agree; hence the manner and style in which this volume of lexicographical exactitude is written" (from the preface).
