Descripci�n

George Edmonds (1788-1868) was an English teacher, lawyer, and scholar, who lived his entire life in Birmingham. He is remembered principally for the present volume, which enlarges upon John Wilkins' An Essay Towards a Real Character and a Philosophical Language (1668). Edmonds believed that the principle reason Wilkins' system wasn't adopted was that it was too hard to pronounce. Here, he proposes a modified pronunciation system for the language. This work is divided into three parts, an "alphabet, classification of radicals, and grammar of the philosophic language;" parallel texts of excerpts from English works of note (Shakespeare, Milton, Locke, the King James Bible, etc.) alongside their translation into the new language; and a dictionary of the new language Quarto. [12], vii, [1], 34, [2], 152, [2], 44, iii, [1], [2] , ix, [1], [2], [140] pp. Later marbled boards with printed paper spine label. A very good copy. First edition. Other works by Edmonds include The Philosophic Alphabet, with an explanation of its principles�(1832), George Edmonds Appeal to the Labourers of England, an exposure of aristocrat spies, and the infernal machinery of the poor law murder bill (1832); George Edmonds's Three Half-Penny English Grammar (1837), and various political and legal tracts.

Though we gave up an open shop after more than thirty years, we welcome serious customers and dealers. We are normally open from 10 to 6 Monday through Saturday.

We feature a stock strong in literature, history, Western philosophy, history of science, history of computers, and art. We are members of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers. We have books from the 15th to the 20th century in all prices ranges. We do appraisals for income tax and insurance purposes. We purchase individual books and libraries. Proprietors: Michael R. Thompson, Kathleen D. Thompson, Carol Sandberg
