A Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue

Explore the colorful underworld of 18th-century England with this 1992 Dorset Press edition of Captain Francis Grose’s “A Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue,” edited by the legendary Eric Partridge.

Some light foxing/spotting to the top edge of the text block.
