Acquired from the estate of Professor Shaligram Shukla (1940-2022) who earned his Ph.D. at Cornell and taught at Georgetown University's Department of Linguistics for fifty years beginning in 1967. OCLC locates copies of a 1950 London edition by Hutchinson & Co. and a 1986 Singapore edition by Graham Brash; although OCLC cites a 1972 Taipei edition there are no listed institutional holdings, i.e. a bibliographical ghost which might well be represented by this copy.
