Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition, third impression, published later the same year. Some edge wear and chipping to top and bottom of jacket and spine, largely cream jacket considerably browned, some offsetting and browning to page block, slight lean. Not price clipped (…15s), no inscriptions, internally clean and tight, overall a vg+ copy for its age. 384pp. Language is everybody's business, and enters into almost every part of human life. Yet it is all too often misused. Directness and clarity disappear in a whirl of cliches, euphemisms and woolliness of expression. Anglo/ New Zealand lexicographer Eric Partridge's (1892-1971), classic book attacks abusage of all kinds, and at the same time offers advice on the proper use of English. Dedicated to Dr C. T. Onions (1873-1965), grammarian and lexicographer and the fourth editor of the Oxford English Dictionary, from whom is derived the phrase to 'know your Onions'.
