Gott skick. London (J. M. Dent) 1899. XIV + (1) + 280 pp. Publ. cl. Gilt top edge. Front and bottom edge uncut. Very good. Cloth partly curly. Inner fr. hinge weakened. A landmark in the literature of linguistic pedagogics. Sweet has a reputation as "the man who taught Europe phonetics". In the preface to his play Pygmalion, George Bernard Shaw, after describing Sweet, stated that "Higgins is not a portrait of Sweet, to whom the adventure of Eliza Doolittle would have been impossible; still, as will be seen, there are touches of Sweet in the play."
