Description:
London: William Tegg, 1857. 'Revised and corrected' . Blind-stamped Cloth. Good-VG. 16.5 Cms x 23 Cms. f/piece (engr. of Mercury by W.Sharp)+liv+(4)+739+(1)(Addendum), pub.lists on endpapers and pastedowns. A nice copy, f/piece offset onto t.p. as usual, otherwise internally clean, tight & unmarked, fr. end-gutter split but quite secure, v.sl.splitting to rear end-gutter of little significance. The elaborately blind-stamped covers are now of an indeterminate brownish colour but have originally been purple or mauve, clean, corners sl.bumped, top sp.v.slightly rubbed, cloth starting to split along lower of third front joint. Appears to be a reissue of the 1829 2nd ed, but one of the notes on the final addenda page is dated Nov.20, 1839. A very acceptable copy of this important, if quirky, linguistic classic.

Description:
Printed by Richard Taylor for Thomas Tegg (et. al.), London: 1829., 1829 Two volumes. pp. xxxiv, (6), 498 + Frontis engraving, dated 1798, of Mercury, seated; (6), 590, (2). Offsetting from frontis, as usual. Foxed. 8vo. 235 mm. The original paper boards binding has perished and should be sometimereplaced. John Horne (1736-1812), later known as John Horne Tooke began his celebrity when he became an enthusiastic partisan of Wilkes in 1768. They made a good pair. Horne loved battles of wits and legal maneuvering, and he sympathized with every cause for liberty, including the French Revolution, and the independence of the American Colonies. Wilkes and Horne later came to bitter disagreement and fought a war of 'Letters'. The redoubtable Junius entered the controversy on Wilkes's side. Horne retorted vigorously, and proved the most successful critic of that famous agitator. A friend of Horne's, William Tooke, lived in the charming town of Purley, and it was he who persuaded John Horne, by…

Tooke, the well known philologist and political agitator, published the first part of his great work in 1786, the second volume not appearing until 1805. "As a philologist Horne Tooke deserves credit for seeing the necessity of studying Gothic and Anglo-Saxon, and learnt enough to be far in advance of Johnson in that direction...

Description:
London: J Johnson, 1798. Leather. Good. 11" by 9". None. John Horne Tooke's linguistic treatise on English grammar and language. Second edition of the first volume (1798), and first edition of the second (1805). With an engraved frontispiece to the first volume. On his return from Huntingdonshire he became once more a frequent guest at Tooke's house at Purley, and in 1782 assumed the name of Horne Tooke. In 1786 Horne Tooke conferred perpetual fame upon his benefactor's country house by adopting, as a second title of his elaborate philological treatise of "Epea Pteroenta" the expression épea pteróenta ("Winged words"), comes from Homer the more popular though misleading title of The Diversions of Purley. The treatise at once attracted attention in England and the Continent. The first part was published in 1786, the second in 1805. Complete in two volumes. In half-morocco bindings. Externally, sound, though rubbed. Cloth repairs to hinges. Internally, firmly…
