First Edition. Quarto. [8], lxxviii, [2], 208 pp., 5 lithographed plates. Later library cloth, gilt. Title laid on linen, some staining to initial few leaves, occasional light spotting, later endpapers, ex-Liverpool library with usual labels, contemporary cloth, hinges reinforced, shelf-mark to spine foot, lightly sunned spine, slight bumping to corners and extremities. An early grammatical work to aid understanding of the Turkish language in the anglophone world. Allegedly, a precocious Davids started to dedicate his leisure hours to the study of language at the age of 15. He died from cholera in the same year as this work was published, at the age of just 21. A French translation of the work that appeared in 1836 helped to inspire the Kava’id-I Osmaniyye of Faud and Jevdet Pashas, published in 1851, the first modern Turkish grammar to appear in Turkey.
