I'm sure Clay's right. George V. Wigram's Analytical Greek Lexicon,
originally published by Samuel Bagster & Sons at London in 1852, has been
around the block quite a few times. The company that I work for reprinted
it beginning in 1983, and Wesley Perschbacher's New Analytical Greek
Lexicon, which took over that spot in the Hendrickson lineup in 1990, is
described in its preface as a corrected and improved edition of Wigram.
Wigram was obviously based on a pre-Westcott & Hort (and Nestle-Aland and
UBS) text, so apart from correcting errors and improving layout, one of the
advantages of more recent analytical lexicons, including Perschbacher's and
similar books from other publishers, is coverage of the current critical
texts. I'm sure the original Wigram is still useful, though obviously
you're better off doing your own parsing and only using it when you get
stuck--and then never trusting it (or the more recent ones, for that matter)
completely.

Connie,
None of the book stores seem to know anything more about this book than you
do but they speculate that it was published in the early-mid 40's based on
signatures and dating of the first owners. The book is widely available in
the used market and going for about $12-$15 US.
HOWEVER, the: Princeton University Lib had this record:
TITLE: The analytical Greek lexicon : consisting of an alphabetical
arrangement of every occurring inflexion of every word
contained in the Greek New Testament scriptures, with a
grammatical analysis of each word, and a lexicographical
illustration of the meanings. A complete series of
paradigms, with grammatical remarks and explanations.
PUBLICATION: London : S. Bagster ; New York : J. Pott, [18--?]
DESCRIPTION: xlvi, 444 p. ; 23 cm.
This looks like the same book, has the exact same number of pages and is a
lot older than 1940's. I suspect that the Harper Bro's edition was a reprint
of this book.
