Etymological and Pronouncing Dictionary of the English Language

778 page hardcover dictionary - 4th Edition, Revised and Enlarged with an Appendix of Scripture Proper Names, etc., respelt for pronunciation. Title continuation: Including a very copious selection of scientific terms for use in schools and colleges and as a book of general reference. One major flaw - the last few pages (pp.775-778) are torn with the bottom half missing, so the text is half missing on those pages ( the Appendix on pronunciation of Scripture proper names). The binding is half-leather with 5 raised bands on spine. The title in gold on spine is faint, and the leather is scuffed on edges and leather corners - just fair condition. Interior is good condition - tight and clean - but flawed by the above mentioned missing half of the last pages."The pronunciation carefully revised by The Rev. P. H. Phelp." A flawed, but scarce, copy of a 19th C. dictionary.
