Head of spine of dustwrapper slightly creased, nicked and rubbed. ***226mm x 154mm. 256 pages. ***Contents: Two-page foreword by the author written London October 1, 1928. ***Pre-war: The Valley; The Schooldays of Tom Warner; Jim Dawson, Teacher. *** War: A Mere Private. ***Post-war: A Tale of Three Cities; A Case of Lunacy; Charmian Warrington; Vernon Ditchley. ***Short stories and a novella. Glimpses are autobiographical and biographical essays concerning growing up in New Zealand, days at Oxford, the war, and his life and work in London after the war. ***Eric Honeywood Partridge (1894 - 1979) was a New Zealand–British lexicographer of the English language, particularly of its slang. His writing career was interrupted only by his service in the Army Education Corps and the RAF correspondence department during World War II. After receiving his degree, Partridge became Queensland Travelling Fellow at Balliol College, Oxford, where he worked on both an MA on eighteenth-century English romantic poetry, and a B.Litt in comparative literature. He subsequently taught in a grammar school in Lancashire for a brief interval, then in the two years beginning September 1925, took lecturing positions at the Universities of Manchester and London. From 1923, he "found a second home", occupying the same desk (K1) in the British Museum Library (as it was then known) for the next fifty years. In 1925 he married Agnes Dora Vye-Parminter, who in 1933 bore a daughter, Rosemary Ethel Honeywood Mann. In 1927 he founded the Scholartis Press, which he managed until it closed in 1931. ***During the twenties he wrote fiction under the pseudonym 'Corrie Denison'; Glimpses, a book of stories and sketches, was published by the Scholartis Press in 1928. The Scholartis Press published over 60 books in these four years, including Songs and Slang of the British Soldier 1914-1918, which Partridge co-authored with John Brophy. During the Second World War, Partridge served in the Army Education Corps, later transferring to the RAF's correspondence department, before returning to his British Museum desk in 1945. Partridge wrote over forty books on the English language, including well-known works on etymology and slang. He also wrote novels under the pseudonym Corrie Denison, and books on tennis, which he played well. His papers are archived at the University of Birmingham, British Library, King's College, Cambridge, the Royal Institute of British Architects, the University of Exeter, the University of San Francisco, Warwickshire Record Office, and William Salt Library. He died in Moretonhampstead, Devon, in 1979, aged 85. (Quote from Wikipedia). ***An antiquarian second edition of Glimpses, published by the Scholartis Press which Eric Partirdge founded, and printed on quality cream laid paper, very hard to find complete in its original 1928 dustwrapper, especially in such nice complete condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
