Description: William Hunter, Anglo-Saxon Grammar and Derivatives; with Proofs of the Celtic Dialects Being of Eastern Origin and Analysis of the Style of Chaucer, Douglas, and Spenser (Longman, 1832). First edition. In English. 8vo, original cloth with title pasted to front cover. Poor. Spine perished. Front cover detached. Pp. i-iv separating from the textblock. Title label toned and rubbed but present. It could possibly be steamed off and reapplied to a new binding. In a custom-fitted archival-grade protective mylar cover. This early work of literary and grammatical scholarship coincides with the earliest hiring of professors of English in British universities. A graduate of the University of Glasgow, William Hunter (?1789-1862) was professor in Anderson's College, Glasgow, now the University of Strathclyde. Hunter's Anglo-Saxon Grammar is scarce or rare. At present this is the only copy for sale online. Will ship in the mylar cover and done up snugly with string.
