Agree. This book is real old school, competing directly with Spencer's of the same era. Particularly good are the plates in the back. Lots of good alphabets with variations. It might be noted that this book was republished in 2013 based on the first (1873) edition pictured below, and the reprint is readily available inexpensively for those who like to hold the book. Here's a link (click the blue book to see on amazon):
