FIRST EDITION. Arkwright [H. Richard Archer (1911-1978)], set out to write a treatise on pig latin, but never finished it. Cheney reprints here what Arkwright was able to write, along with his own commentary on the subject. This copy is a binding variant from that of Jones, which calls for a printed label on the front cover.
