"Mr. W. C. Hazlitt's second series of _Bibliographical Collections and
Notes_ (Quaritch) is the result of many years' searches among rare
books, tracts, ballads, and broadsides by a man whose specialty is
bibliography, and who has thus produced a volume of high value. If
any one will read through the fifty-four closely printed columns
relating to Charles I., or the ten and a half columns given to
'London' from 1541 to 1794, and recollect that these are only a
supplement to twelve columns in Hazlitt's _Handbook_ and five and a
half in his first _Collections_, he will get an idea of the work
involved in this book. Other like entries are 'James I.,' 'Ireland,'
'France,' 'England,' 'Elizabeth,' 'Scotland' (which has twenty-one and
a half columns), and so on. As to the curiosity and rarity of the
works that Mr. Hazlitt has catalogued, any one who has been for even
twenty or thirty years among old books will acknowledge that the
strangers to him are far more numerous than the acquaintances and
friends. This second series of _Collections_ will add to Mr. Hazlitt's
well-earned reputation as a bibliographer, and should be in every real
library through the English-speaking world. The only thing we
desiderate in it is more of his welcome marks and names, B. M.,
Britwell, Lambeth, &c., to show where all the books approaching rarity
are. The service that these have done in Mr. Hazlitt's former books to
editors for the Early-English Text, New Shakspere, Spenser, Hunterian,
and other societies, has been so great that we hope he will always say
where he has seen the rare books that he makes entries
of."--_Academy_, August 26, 1882.

8vo.

correcting errors, and in securing all the unpublished letters which
have come into the market, some of great interest, with a view to a
new and improved edition.
