MURRAY (Lindley): - Abridgment of Murray's English Grammar. With an Appendix, containing exercises In Orthography, In Parsing, In Syntax, And in Punctuation. Designed for the Younger Classes of learner. The Twentieth Edition, Corrected.

London: Printed for Darton and Harvey..., 1807. 12mo (in 6s), 138 x 85 mms., pp. 128 [129 - 132 adverts], contemporary sheepskin; several leaves sprung,rear hinge cracked, shaken in casing, corners a bit dog-eared, text giving every sign of frequent usage, binding rubbed, with contemporary ownership inscription, "Samuel Henson/ his Book/ 11mo 13th/ 1809" on the recto of the front free end-paper, "H.Venner" on the verso of the rear free end-paper, and "Daniel Henson/ His Book/ 1810" on the rear paste-down end-paper. Lindley Murray (1745 - 1826) published his English Grammar in 1795, with the Abridgment following shortly in 1797. Both proved to be far more successful than anyone anticipated. Both English Grammar and the Abridgment were published in numerous editions in the early 19th century, but very few seem to have survived, which is not too surprising for a school text-book.
