Descrizione
8vo., First Edition thus, with frontispiece and 12 pages of coloured and monochrome plates; decorative buckram, a fine copy in publisher's board slip-case. Elegant new edition of the astonishing story of William chester Minor, American Civil War surgeon turned lunatic, imprisoned in Broadmoor Asylum, who dedicated his entire cell-bound life to work on the English language. His considerable (and anonymous) contributions to the making of the OED resulted in his being unmasked by the Dictionary's editor James Murray.
