Philadelphia: Pickwick and Company. Good with no dust jacket. 1883. First Edition. Cloth. 82 pp + Monitum. With two facsimile illustrations before the title page. Extremely scarce. Based upon a paper on The Greek New Testament as Published in America, presented to the American Philological Association in 1882, then expanded with information communicated to the author afterwards. The author was the noted Orientalist and linguist, curator of the Metropolitan Museum in New York and famous for his work in Cypriote epigraphy. The author's gift inscription to the Hamilton Chapter of Alpha Delta Phi, with his "class of 1859" on the second fly leaf. Brown cloth binding with embosed ruling has normal wear, spine gilt bit dulled but quite legible, spine tips starting to fray. Interior yellow end papers with Alpha Delta Phi Hamilton stamp, hinges just starting. Paper is a bit toned, little foxing on title page, then some light foxing or small light stains at the bottom of the first 11 pages, otherwise clean and unmarked. Binding sturdy. Quite thrilling to have one of Dr. Hall's books with his own inscription for us NT/Linguistic Scholar groupies. Quite a wonderful book.; 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall; 82 pages; Signed by Author .
