Happy birthday

[Ralph Cleminson]

E.Wayles Browne's celebration of TALVI's bicentenary reminds me of a
mystery reference in this lady's works which has puzzled me for some
time.  On p.101 of her "Historical View of the Languages and
Literatures of the Slavic Nations" (New York, 1850), in the course of
a discussion of the then-extant grammars and dictionaries of Russian,
she mentions "Constantinon's Russian Grammar and Dictionary, London,
3 vols., 8vo."  Even allowing for the probable misprint in the
author's name, I have been unable to find this in any library or
bibliography.  Can anyone shed any light on this?
