The Pictorial Handy Lexicon: A Pronouncing Pocket Dictionary of the English Language. Based Upon the Works of Webster, Worcester, Walker, Johnson, Latham, Smart, Etc., Etc. Containing Over 25,000 Words and Phrases, and 250 Engravings

New York: American Book Exchange, 1880. Hardcover. Fair. First edition, from Scottish sheets. 24mo. Illustrated (although we aren't convinced there are 250). Diagonal finely ribbed maroon cloth with cover and spine stamped in black, and cover design repeated in blind on the lower board. Covers nearly separated, heavy wear, tape residue on the shoulders and gutters (affecting the inner margin of a couple of leaves), a few preliminary and terminal leaves loose (but complete), a fair copy. The text is surprisingly clean. Also prints several pages of foreign words and phrases. A very uncommon dictionary; *OCLC* locates one copy of this 1880 edition and one copy of an 1881 edition, both at Harvard.
