Small 8vo, pp. [2], 19, [3]; creme printed paper wrappers; near fine. William M. Cheney was an "erudite, self-taught printer who takes great interest in words, phrases, and learning that are generally considered obsolete. His reasoning ability can leave readers behind him -- but that is not Cheney's fault. He writes mainly to please himself and as a result often produces printing that only a few close friends can understand. Not all of Cheney's writings are obscure -- although most of his printed pieces are hard to locate" (Muir Dawson).
