Description:
Boston: James R. Osgood and Company, 1883. First US edition. Hardcover. Very good. Fonseca and Carolino's inadvertent masterpiece has been called many things... "Perhaps the worst foreign phrasebook ever written" ... A book of "miraculous stupidities." "The most ludicrous foreign attempt ever made to teach our language." Most often under the title English as She Is Spoke...the mid-nineteenth-century Portuguese phrasebook has become a minor classic. Yet it is not as a book of instruction intended for those Portuguese who would learn English that it has survived-nay thrived-for the last century and a half, but rather it is as a work of accidental comedy and unintended humor."-George Monteiro. The New Guide to Conversation began as an 1836 French-Portuguese phrasebook by José da Fonseca; in 1855, Pedro Carolino, with only a limited grasp of English, translated the French text to make an English-Portuguese phrase book.

Description:
Boston: James R. Osgood & Company, 1883. First Edition. Softcover. About Fine in Fine chemise and slipcase. BAL 3412. Contains Clemens's 5-page Introduction. Issued in both wraps and cloth, this is a scarce set of unbound sheets consisting of 13 signatures (the preface sheet and front endpaper are loose), a result of the publisher's bankruptcy a few years after publication before all copies had been bound for sale. Adding to the scarcity is that this appears to be a copy belonging to Mark Twain's first bibliographer, Merle Johnson, with a full-page note in pencil on the detached front endpaper SIGNED by Johnson: "What is this? Nothing but the sheets of the 1st Edition all uncut and all that -- those in the cloth covers have been neatly trimmed down for the common people. Merle Johnson." Housed in a cloth chemise and slipcase with a gilt-lettered morocco spine label.
