JOYCE, P. W.. [Patrick Weston]

16 mo. (100x156cm), original yellow cloth over boards, printed in black, vii+136pp., lighthouse(?) motif to upper board. Cloth a little marked but generally a nice, clean and tight copy. May be lacking title page but not obvious. Early edition of this scarce Irish grammar (first published 1878) by native Irish speaker, Patrick Weston Joyce. Joyce (1827–1914) was an Irish historian, writer and music collector, known particularly for his research in Irish etymology and local place names of Ireland.
