This is not a mere practical treatise, but a compendium of Ames,
Herbert, Dibdin, and others, giving a complete history of the art,
and much curious information respecting early printers, as well
at practical information indispensable to authors and persons
connected with literature. The perusal of this work will point
out to authors the best method of arranging matter for press,
correcting proofs, etc.

This valuable collection was purchased after the death of Edward
Harley, second Earl of Oxford, by T. Osborne, the well known
bookseller, for £30,000. The catalogue made by T. Oldys, with a
preface by Dr. S. Johnson, was issued in parts; the first two
volumes in 1743, and two more in 1744. The last volume is not,
properly, a part of the work, though issued under the same name.
The books were not sold by auction, and the prices were not
affixed, as is usual with booksellers. For a valuable article

[HARRISSE (Henry).] Bibliotheca Americana Vetustissima A Description
of Works relating to America published between the Years 1492 and 1551
Imp. 8vo, pp. (8), liv, 519. _New-York Geo. P. Philes_, MDCCCLXVI
Four hundred copies printed in imperial 8vo, one hundred and nine
in 4to, ten of which are on Holland paper. It was undertaken at
the suggestion of Mr. S. L. M. Barlow, of New York, and contains
the titles of over three hundred books. As a specimen of American
typography, it has probably never been surpassed. In regard to
its merits it has received at the hands of some members of the
Geographical Society of Paris very high praise, of which an
English version (in part) will be found in Stevens' _Bibliotheca
Historica_, followed by some rather severe criticism on the work
by Mr. Stevens, who, writing in the third person, quotes largely
from an article in the _Athenæum_ of the 6th of October, 1866, of
which Mr. Stevens is the author. The writer of this notice does
not presume to enter into a controversy with, or a criticism upon,
the works of either of these bibliographers, but he cannot help
regretting that a work so elaborate, learned, and useful to the
American bibliographer, as this _Bibliotheca Americana_ is, should
have been the vehicle of any exhibition of personal pique. We have
been assured on very good authority that the blunder of "Ander
Schiffahrt's" was really due to the proof-reader, and that the
Index, in which Schiffahrt (Ander) is made to appear once more in
_propria persona_, was not the work of Mr. Harrisse at all. Let it
suffice for us to remark that for the student of the earliest of
books relating to America, this book is indispensably necessary. We
may add that Mr. Harrisse has, in some instances, quoted works from
White Kennett's _Bibliothecæ Americanæ Primordia_, and made the
remark that he has found nothing in the works so quoted relating to
America. This has arisen from the fact that he has misapprehended
the nature of that work, which purposely introduces many books
which had no relation to America. The following is a continuation:
[HARRISSE.] Bibliotheca Americana Vetustissima A Description of Works
relating to America published between the Years 1492 and 1551 Additions
Imp. 8vo, pp. (iv), 40, 199, (1). _Paris Librairie Tross_ M.DCCC.LXXII
Two hundred copies printed in 8vo, and fifty copies in 4to. In the
matter of printing and paper this volume exceeds in beauty that of
its predecessor. Its contents cover the same ground; some titles
contained in the former work are further elaborated, and many are
entirely new. It will, perhaps, not be saying too much that many of
them are only remotely related to America, but the author's careful
researches and elaborate dissertations have combined to render the
volume a very desirable addition to an American bibliographical
collection.

_New York: Privately Printed._ 1866.
Ninety copies only printed for presentation, at the expense of
Samuel L. M. Barlow, of New York. It is one of the finest specimens
of printing by the Riverside Press, and having been privately
printed, is as rare as it is beautiful. It is both bibliographical
and historical, and in each department is a specimen of seal and
erudition.

This is a capital resumé of the Bibliography of Canada up to
1700. The volume is very handsomely printed; some copies are on
vellum paper, and others on Dutch paper. The following should have

Engravings. _London: Longman._ 1829.
Twenty-five copies printed in imperial 8vo on large vellum paper.
The original letters in this volume form a very interesting portion
of its contents. Those of Ciofanus are filled with abuse of Aldus
Junior, whom he terms _la Cornacchia Esopea_, and of whose literary
ability he speaks very slightingly. It also includes a reprint of
_Capell's Shakesperiana_.
[HARTSHORNE.] A Geyfte ffor the Neue Yere: or, a playne, plesaunte,

_Cambridge._ 1825.
This amusing bibliographical squib is written by "Carolus Henricus
Hartshorne," in whose hand the memorandum of the number of copies
printed is given on the fly-leaf. It appears from this that
only twenty were printed, and probably in a private manner for
presentation. The spelling and printing are equally ancient in
style, and the whole discourse, ending with the poem, runs upon
black letter and other antique lore.

HUMPHREYS (H. N.) A History of the Art of Printing, from its Invention
to its wide-spread Development in the Middle of the 16th Century.
Preceded by a Short Account of the Origin of the Alphabet, and of the
successive Methods of Recording Events and Multiplying Ms. Books before
the Invention of Printing. By H. Noel Humphreys.... With One Hundred
Illustrations.... Imp. 4to, pp. 224. 105 Plates.
_London: Bernard Quaritch._ 1867.
The first issue consisted of three hundred copies only. The
publisher's certificate to that effect is usually inserted in the
work. "The illustrations of this work, which, unlike facsimiles
produced by hand, must _necessarily_ be absolute reproductions
of their originals, exceed one hundred in number, and frequently
consist of representations of entire pages from many of the most
interesting books produced by the early printers. Among them
may be mentioned an entire folio page from the first printed
Bible, the magnificent work of Gutenberg, richly adorned with
ornamental borderings by a contemporary German illuminator. An
entire page from the celebrated Psalter of Schæffer, in which
the large capitals are printed in colours, in rivalry with the
illuminators of the time. Pages from the first books printed in
Italy, France, Spain, Flanders, and Holland, accompany the accounts
of the introduction of the printing press to those countries; and
several such entire pages in facsimile illustrate the description
of the works of William Caxton, the founder of the printing press
in England. In addition to these and many illustrations of other
kinds, will be found a very interesting and an abundant series of
examples from the most richly decorated of the French 'Horæ,' and
from the profusely illustrated German books produced in the first
half of the sixteenth century." The copies dated 1868 are somewhat
inferior as regards the plates.
HUMPHREYS. Master Pieces of the Early Printers & Engravers. A Series

Devices, Beautiful Borders, Decorative Initials, Printers Marks,
Elaborate Title-pages, &c. By H. Noel Humphreys, ... Imp. 4to.
_London: H. Sotheran & Co._ 1870.
First issued in parts, which are preferable for the early
impressions of the seventy curious plates. "The great beauty of
many of the books produced by the Early Printers, both at regards
the remarkable and various character of their Types, and the
exquisitely designed Initials and Borderings with which their pages
are enriched, is scarcely known and appreciated beyond the narrow
circle of enthusiastic bibliographers who have made the first
works that issued from the printing press a subject of special
study; and it is to make them more widely known that the present
work has been projected. The greater part of the examples are now
published for the first time, and have never appeared in any other
bibliographical work. They comprise designs by Wohlgemuth, Durer,
Burgemair, Cranach, and others equally celebrated."

This valuable work is too often regarded merely as a book for
printers, whereas it contains more information respecting early
printed books than is to be found in any other and more costly
volumes. Its real compiler was Mr. Richard Thomson, Librarian
of the London Institution, who was assisted by Dibdin, Wilkins,
Baber, and other well known bibliographers. It was issued in three
different sizes, the largest being known as the Roxburghe Edition
with Portraits on India paper.

There are copies on large paper. "In this short catalogue will be
found about twenty original tracts relating to Newfoundland; above
fifty concerning Virginia; one hundred, or more, of New England:
and so on in proportion to the colonies."--_Preface._ "This, as
far as it goes, is the best Catalogue of Books relating to America
extant, the titles being copied at full length with the greatest
exactness, together with name of the printer, and the number of
pages in each volume. It unfortunately contains only the books
given to the society by White Kennett, Bishop of Peterborough. It
is rich in English tracts relating to New England."--RICH. The
collection to which it refers has disappeared--some scattered and
neglected remains were found a few years since among the archives
of the Society at Lambeth.

kind in English.

"A work which, for an age that offered small facility or
encouragement to the prosecution of researches in the field
of early English Literature, was one of _extraordinary_
merit."--HALLIWELL. "Of the several early Catalogues of the English
stage, Langbaine's only is to be implicitly relied on for to
fidelity."--LOWNDES.

Dr. Dibdin justly terms this work a "Standard authority on matters
of Biblical Literature." There is scarcely an edition of the Bible
extant in Hebrew, Greek, Latin, or Polyglots, but it is accurately
described, and all textual, as well as typographical variations,
pointed out; it is perhaps the most perfect Manual of Biblical
Bibliography extant. The first edition was _Parisiis._ 1709. 2
vols., 8vo.

This is perhaps the most laborious and most able bibliographical
work which has ever appeared. It is scarcely possible to find a
volume or a manuscript in any way connected with French history
which is not fully described, and it frequently gives curious
details respecting English historians. Brunet remarks "Cet ouvrage
et un des travaux les plus essentiels qu'ait produit la science
bibliographique, et il doit se trouver dans tous les Bibliothèques."

LOWNDES (W. T.) The Bibliographer's Manual of English Literature,
containing an account of Rare, Curious, and Useful Books, published
in or Relating to Great Britain and Ireland, from the Invention of
Printing; with Bibliographical and Critical Notices, Collations of the
Rarer Articles, and the Prices at which they have been sold in this
Present Century. By William Thomas Lowndes. 4 vols., 8vo, pp. xii,
2002. _London: William Pickering._ MDCCCXXXIV.
First published as a serial; Part 1. is dated 1828. Invaluable to
the collector or librarian. The type of this is larger than that of
the following edition:
LOWNDES. [Same Title.] New Edition, Revised, Corrected and Enlarged, By
Henry G. Bohn. 6 vols., 8vo, pp. 2746. _London: Henry G. Bohn._ 1857-69.
Issued in eleven parts, each of which contains some preliminary,
explanatory, or exculpatory notice by Mr. Bohn. It is much to
be regretted that the earlier part of the work does not include
the same ratio of additions as the later, and book-collectors,
in general, would have been pleased to pay a higher price for
a handsomer book. Mr. Bohn's name as editor did not appear on
the first title to Vol. 1. Power remarks "A good guide to Mr.
Bohn's various reprints and 'Libraries,' and the appendix is a
carefully-compiled list of the publications of the Book-printing
Clubs, the private presses, such as Strawberry Hill, Lee Priory,
&c., and the rare reprints of Collier, Halliwell, Maidment,
Turnbull, and others. _The Bibliographer's Manual_ is a work which,
for want of a better, no English book-lover can do without. The
first edition has the advantage of Mr. Bohn's, being printed in
more legible type." Later issues bear the name of _Bell & Daldy_ as
publishers. In 1869, two hundred and fifty copies were printed on
large paper, in 6 vols., cr. 8vo. The statement that one hundred
copies were printed on large paper, which appears on that number
of copies which were sent to America, is, to say the least, an
abbreviation of the truth. Mr. Bohn's eleven prefatory notices,
which to some extent explain the nature and extent of his labors,
have been omitted in the large paper copies, both editions being
in other respects exactly the same. There is no substitute for
_The Bibliographer's Manual_; undertaken originally to supply an
obvious desideratum felt by all readers and book-buyers, it forms
at once a key to the riches of English literature for the student,
and a guide in the formation of a library for the collector. In
its present enlarged form it comprises notices of upwards of one
hundred thousand distinct books published in Great Britain and
Ireland, but it is susceptible of much improvement.
LOWNDES. The British Librarian, or Book Collector's Guide to the
formation of a Library, in all Branches of Literature, ... With Prices,
Critical Notes, References, and an Index of Authors and Subjects....
By William T. Lowndes. 8vo, 1320 columns.
_London: Whittaker and Co._ 1839-42.
Eleven parts; comprising "Religion and its History," being all
that were published. It is a valuable Bibliography of Theological
Literature; its completion was prevented by the death of the author.
LOWNDES. Shakespeare and his Commentators, from Lowndes'
Bibliographer's Manual. 8vo. Portrait. _London._ 1831.

927; (2), 799; (6), 725. _Lisboa, Off. de Fonseca._ 1741-59.
The extreme rarity of this great work, the highest authority upon

xxii, (1), 464. _Privately Printed, London._ 1843.

works.
