A comprehensive introduction to the study of language, based on English and American, with commentary on the development of language and grammar. With a fold-out plate of the families of languages. Written by Eric Partridge, a New Zealand-British lexicographer of English slang.

Externally, smart with light shelf wear and rubbing to the extremities, particularly the head of the spine. Original unclipped dust wrapper is also smart with light shelf wear, sunning to the spine, and the odd mark to the board. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean.
