Limited edition of 1000 copies. Cloth, gilt cover device, 4to, 28 cm, xxvii, 118, [2] pp. 539 entries. From the introduction: "This volume is devoted exclusively to English grammars written in English by Englishmen, Americans, and in one or two cases foreigners, as well as a very few grammars written in Latin by native speakers. The material included corresponds to that section in Kennedy's bibliography extending from nos. 5687 to 5994, but I have adopted a more rigorous definition of what constitutes a grammar than did Kennedy. Thus, the following sorts of books are specifically excluded here : (1) spelling-books containing abstracts of grammar ; (2) miscellaneous works, epistolary manuals, &c, containing brief grammars ; (3) dictionaries containing grammars ; (4) polyglot grammars; ( 5) grammars of English written in foreign languages, as well as grammars written in Latin by foreigners and published abroad." Even with these exclusions, there are listed here over 1200 items - nearly four times the number reported in the relevant section of Kennedy's bibliography. Appendix I lists all towns other than London at which such works were published There are indexes of anonymous titles; Authors; and Subjects, Editors, Revisers, and Translators. Top edge duststained, otherwise Good.
