WILDE, Archer

Small 8vo., original blue cloth lettered in white. 2 plates and playful typographic example to half-title. In very good condition. Clean and tight. Barely used, paper stiff. Lettering rubbed at spine, small mark to lower board. This treatise on Spelling Reform was published in the same year as George O. Curme’s “New Orthography” and at a time when the idea of simplified spelling had become much discussed amongst academics and literary figures (George Bernard Shaw as an example).
