It was thought that interest and value would be added to this book by
the inclusion of lists of the book-plates made by the more prominent
artists whose work is reproduced here. These lists are the nearest
complete of any that have ever been published, and as they have been
verified in many instances by the artists themselves, and in others
carefully collated from the actual book-plates, they may be relied
upon as highly accurate. The sundry notes, bibliographical and
otherwise, by which the individual lists are prefaced, are in no way
exhaustive, but just a cursory gathering to relieve the bareness of
the lists and to give some little additional assistance to the
amateur. The lists are arranged alphabetically under the artists'
names as follows:
