Description: Scarce 1877 work on the history, etymology, philology and ORIGINAL resource materials of the English language. This work is truly astounding in its depth and breadth. I am stymied by the profound research which had to be undertaken to finish this tome. He includes a large portion of both original documents as well as their translation and a grammatical guide. It is truly magnificent. Please look through ALL the photos not just for condition, but a true sense of what this book entails; it's impressive. "George P. Marsh was an able linguist, able to both speak and write fluently in Swedish and over 20 other languages. He was a remarkable philologist for his day, and a scholar of great breadth, knowing much of military science, engraving and physics, as well as Icelandic, which was his specialty. He wrote many articles for Johnson's Universal Cyclopaedia, and contributed many reviews and letters to The Nation." -wiki Condition: VERY GOOD Condition with light soiling and light wear, top and bottom spine and corner wear, name to top of title page, age toned papers, but no other writing,no loose, torn or missing pages and a tight, firm, square binding. A very nice copy, albeit with aging paper, so be careful turning the pages. Scarce. This item is being sold by Books and Collectibles, LLC.International buyers pay $7.99 shipping to eBay hub.
