About this Item

4to, pp. [12] & unpaginated lexicon in triple column; engraved frontispiece portrait; contemporary full calf, brown label on spine; joints tender, leather partially stripped on boards, head and tail of spine perished, a good, sound copy. A massive and respected work by a man whose "biblical labours have justly made his name a household word among the English-speaking peoples." Disappointed in his "expectation of profit from his great task his mind became so unhinged that he was confined for ten weeks in a madhouse in Bethnal Green, from which he escaped by cutting through the bedstead to which he was chained" (see DNB). The book is a landmark and remains in print to this very day.
