This copy is really in poor condition but apparently complete and still useful as a reference to the language of the time. The author was not a scholar and took his information from other sources, primarily British. Small quarto, 10 1/4" tall, xiv + 85 + [approx 1000 pages unpaginated, full leather. A fair copy only overall; interior generally fair, paper yellowed but generally supple with moderate foxing throughout, internal binding relatively solid, but many pages 'pulled' and many edge tears present, some pages further foxed by the use of the book to press flowers; exterior leather binding is significantly worn and chipped, leather disintegrating and powdering, back strip completely missing, rubbing at all extremities with boards exposed, front hinge broken and cover loose. Restoration would be difficult but still useful as is.

Store description
Avenue Victor Hugo Books specialize in first editions of the best in fiction, history, biography, poetry, drama, and essay, as well as the good items which happen to come our way in other subjects. Genre literature such as Science Fiction, Fantasy, Mystery, and Westerns will remain of special interest to us. We also carry many collectible magazines, including TIME, LIFE, National Geographic, and Playbill. Our catalogue features careful, considered assessments of all of our stock. We are not flippers selling books by the pound. Instead, we try to limit our stock to books in a condition we'd be proud to place on our personal bookshelves. Books are something to be cherished, so that's what we do. After years of running our bookstore on Newbury Street in Boston's Back Bay, our store has moved. We are now located in Lee, New Hampshire, less than 10 minutes from the University of New Hampshire. Our store is open from 10am to 6pm every Saturday.…
