Titled as an 'unabridged' dictionary, it has been compiled and revised from the 1864, 1879, and 1884 editions, brought up to ate for the 1890s. A fantastic resource for collector's of old dictionaries or for those interested in the history of how the English language has developed over the past 130 years. The book itself is in fair-poor condition, the vast majority of the pages are clean and clear and in great condition, though some near the front and rear have some tears and damage. Externally, the cover is worn and marked, with some exposed webbing - but the binding still seems strong with no danger of missing pages.
