FOX, GEORGE; STUBS, JOHN; and FURLEY, BENJAMIN. A Battle-Door for Teachers & Professors to learn Singular & Plural. 1660
- Notes: first edition of a linguistic treatise co-authored by Fox, the founder of the Society of Friends, analyzing second-person pronominal usage in some 35 European and non-European languages to justify the Quaker use of "thou" and "thee" in the singular and "you" in the plural. At the end is a critique of objectionable language in contemporary English schoolbooks. The book is notable for its typography and design, employing Hebrew, Syriac, Arabic, Ethiopic, Samaritan, Coptic, Armenian, Anglo-Saxon, and Irish types, and section titles printed within a rule border in the shape of a battledore or hornbook.
