...with their accentuation, and the orthography conformable to that practiced by the most approved modern authors.

Miniature, 3 x 2 inches, 564pp. Limp leather, all edges gilt. Engraved frontispiece of a heavenly Shakespeare and vignette on the last page that appears to be Othello, both borrowed from the illustrated edition of Sharpe's. Originally a wraparound wallet binding, the flap was removed to create a traditional book. About a quarter inch of chipping at both spine ends, general rubbing, but bright and clean contents. Good overall. Taken from the London edition of "Sharpe's Diamond Dictionary," OCLC records only 2 copies of this title (1845) and none of this edition. Housed in archival mylar jacket.
