About This Item
From the Preface: This Dictionary is an abridgement officially authorized by the Delegates of the Oxford University Press of A New English Dictionary on Historical Principles, later known as The Oxford English Dictionary. The need for such an abridged form of the great work was envisaged at the outset. The publication of this work is, in fact, a fulfilment of one of the provisions of the agreement entered into in the year 1879 between the Philological Society and the Oxford University Press. ..."
Very Good- condition. Light bumping. Very minimal edge/corner wear. There are a few pages near the back that have tiny corner bends at the bottom. Closed book page edges have some stains. Otherwise, text is clean and binding is tight.
Please use photos as part of the description.
Note this is a large, heavy book and some additional postage will be required (probably about $4.00 more).
2,515 pages.
