Item description from seller
Expertly rebound in boards, facsimile paper label; sl. marked. See Pearl 96. 'One of Cobbett's greatest works', not a simple book of grammar but an attempt to 'create numerous formidable assailants of our insolent high-blooded oppressors' by using political examples to illustrate the rules of the English language for the working-class reader.
