A contemporary review comments: "This is a stupendously elaborate work, which only the patience of a German professor could have brought to completion. It is an exhaustive treatise, from every conceivable point of view, on the grammar of our language. We cannot but appreciate it as a high national compliment ".
From the library of antiquarian Robert Washington Oates (founder of The Oates Memorial Museum and Library at Wakes House, the lifelong home of Gilbert White the naturalist). Robert Washington Oates' bookplate, possibly in facsimile, to paste-down. Printed by Unger Brothers, Berlin.
