About This Item
London: Trubner & Co, 1888. Book. Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A VERY SCARCE title especially in the First English Edition. The boards have wear to extremities with considerable darkening to spine which has caused it to be britle with a few short closed tears and light chipping at head - not affecting lettering. Some foxing to endpapers but text generally CLEAN & TIGHT. NO LOOSE & NO MISSING leaves. An international language created by Johann Martin Schleyer after a dream where God told him it was necessary..
