Signed and inscribed by Matthew H. Scargill upon title page. Scargill was Director of the Lexicographical Centre for Canadian English which produced this work. "Provides a historical record of words and expressions characteristic of the various spheres of Canadian life during the almost four centuries that English has been used in Canada. Provides the meaning, or meanings, of such terms and, where relevant, their pronunciation, etymology, and scope - both in time and space. Through dated quotations, an extensive cross-referencing system, illustrative drawings, and exploratory notes relating to usage, disputed origins, and other contentious matters, the editors have sought to create an informative, entertaining, and valuable reference." - Introduction. xxiv, 926 p. Book clean, bright, tight and unmarked with negligible wear. Includes original glossy clear acetate jacket. Above-average wear to cherry red slipcase which is open along top front edge. A special example of this unique repository of Canadiana. ; Sm 4to; Signed by Editor.…
