First edition, 8vo, pp. 32; 2 plates (one printed in blue); text toned; later wrappers. A scarce and early exposition by the well-known philologist, with a history of telegraphic efforts. With many periodical pieces on philology to his credit, and an important Greek lexicon, the author is almost wholly remembered today for his Vocabulary, or collection of words and phrases which have been supposed to be peculiar to the United States of America (Boston, 1816), the first book on Americanisms. Pickering (1777-1846) "acquired, with various degrees of thoroughness, all the principal European and Semitic languages, was acquainted with several of the Chinese group, and was the leading authority of his time on the languages of the North American Indians."
