Beschreibung
Beschreibung:
[812]pp., additional engraved titlepage as front. Folio. Contemp. speckled panelled calf, later gilt border & armorial crest on both boards, attractively rebacked in the late 18th or early 19thC century, gilt compartments, red morocco label; hinges & tail of spine sl. worn, corners rubbed. Armorial bookplate of the Earl of Ilchester beneath later 18th or early 19thC pastedown. Alston V 62; ESTC T117175, with a note recording the possibility of there being two issues of this edition, one with the misspelling 'troversies' on the final word of the first column on D2, the other, as in this copy, with the correct spelling 'controversies'. The final edition of Phillips' dictionary. Edward Phillips, 1630-1696? was the nephew of John Milton with whom Phillips boarded and undertook his education. The New World of Words is described in the ODNB as 'a very respectable effort in lexicography'. It was reprinted ten times up to 1720 and usurped Thomas Blount's Glossographia as the most popular hard word dictionary of its time. Blount riled against Phillips for plagiarising his work and issued, in support of his argument, A World of Errors discovered in 'The New World of Words', in 1673. This was presumably the copy of Stephen Fox-Strangways, 1704-1776, the first Earl of Ilchester with the rebacking and additional gilt crest (of a fox and crown) added by a descendant.
