Sobre este artículo
London: J.Dodsley and T. Cadell, 1772. "A New Edition, Corrected." Front cover detached, but Good otherwise. An early edition of one of the most influential books on English usage. First published in 1762 and a standard text for decades after. Not stated but written by Robert Lowth, a Bishop of the Church of England and Oxford Professor of Poetry. Commonly known as "Lowth's Grammar," his work contains many of the familiar grammar rules that were impressed upon generations of students from the 18th century on. (Perhaps its best-known admonition is that a sentence must not end with a preposition.) xv, 221 pages + 1 leaf of publisher ads. 12mo. Early or original calf leather binding. Gilt-decorated spine, red leather title label. Front board and first blank detached. Old bookworm track to upper corner of early pages, not affecting the text. Dissipating by page vi and then continuing through most of the text as two small holes, and a single hole by the late pages. Text block quite sound and tight. Clean internally. A solid copy, despite the detached cover. Nicely held in place by a new, clear archival jacket (not pictured.)
