The second known copy of the first edition of a grammar 'formed upon a New Plan' to facilitate 'the acquisition of the Spanish language'. The majority of the example phrases provided for the practice of students are taken from 'the best Spanish authors' (though uncredited), and include numerous references to the deeds of Cortez in South America, and, rather unsurprisingly, a plethora of extracts from Don Quixote: 'One of them gave D. Q. such a blow on the shoulder, on the sword side, the poor D. Q. came to the ground in a very unpleasant state'. A second edition was published in the same year as the first, a third and final 'new edition' appeared in 1824.

OCLC records a single copy of the first edition (BL); COPAC adds no further.
