Copied and edited by Frederick James Furnivall, an English philologist, best known as one of the co-creators of the New English Dictionary. He founded a number of learned societies on early English literature and made pioneering editorial contributions to the subject, the most notable of which was his parallel text edition of The Canterbury Tales. Bound in full green cloth. Externally, excellent. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright with scattered spotting throughout. Previous owner's ink stamp to the front endpaper. Very Good Indeed.
