English Dictionary - Pocket Pronouncing - E. F. G. Series - E. H. Truslove - Antique (Preloved)

A miniature "vest pocket" dictionary - possibly from the early 20th century. E.F.G. Series stood for "English, French, German," the primary languages initially offered in the set. This series was highly popular because it was "self-pronouncing," using a simple system of phonetic marks that made it accessible to the general public and students. Eyre & Spottiswoode were prestigious publishers in London, which is why these tiny books were so well-constructed and have survived so long. E. F. G. Series - Compiled by E. H.
