About This Item
This small volume appears to be the third known copy, with the other two referenced in an listing by antiquarian bookseller Antiquates Ltd. in Dorset, England. According to its own introductory notes, this book was ",..formed upon an New Plan to facilitate the acquisition of the Spanish language" by utilizing phraseology found in writings of "the best Spanish authors, including Don Quixote and Cortez in South America." Besides the copy held by Antiquates Ltd., the other known copy of the first edition is reported held by OCLC (Online Computer Library Center). The book is in fair condition, with pages still attached though foxed. The brown paper repair to the binding is itself worn, but holding the boards in place. There is an owner signature inside the front board, no other markings. A rare find, indeed!
