The late Mr. Beckford assisted in the compilation of this work,
particularly in the description of his own library at Fonthill.
Fifty copies were printed on large paper, in 2 vols., impl. 8vo,
with portraits of eminent book-collectors. Copies are sometimes
found with "A Dialogue in the Shades, Rare Doings at Roxburghe
Hall, and the Diary of Roger Payne, with plate of his monument." Of
this plate twelve copies were printed with a variation.

CLEMENT (D.) Bibliothèque Curieuse, Historique et Critique; ou Catalogue raisonné de Livres difficiles à trouver, par David Clement. 9 vols., rl. 4to. _Göttingen, Hannover, et Leipsic._ 1750-60.

"A _sine qua non_ with collectors; but in this country it begins
to be--to use the figurative language of some of the German
bibliographers--'scarcer than a white crow or a black swan.'
The reader may admit which simile he pleases, or reject both!
but in sober earnestness it is very rare and unconscionably
dear."--DIBDIN. _Per contra_, it usually sells very cheap. One copy
was printed on large paper.

Of the New York edition some copies are on large paper, and five
copies were printed on India paper. In the New York reprint all the
"Addenda and Corrigenda" which are prefixed to the first volume of
that edition are placed in their proper positions. The "Index,"
also, is greatly enlarged. This valuable and interesting work is,
in fact, an extended edition of the author's catalogue of the Duke
of Bridgewater's library. It describes books which, for the most
part, are so scarce, that but few American libraries possess them;
and Mr. Collier has performed an acceptable office in quoting
largely from the works he has described.

DANIEL (G.) Catalogue of the most Valuable, Interesting, and Highly Important Library of the late George Daniel, Esq., of Canonbury Square, Islington. Rl. 8vo. _London._ 1864.

Certainly one of the most curious, interesting, and valuable
collections of early English literature, particularly as relating
to Shakespeare, ever sold. The prices obtained at this sale for
the first four folio editions of Shakespeare, as also for the very
rare first quarto editions of his plays, have never been surpassed.
This sale marks an era for the sale and the prices of early English
literature.

One hundred and thirty-five copies printed, six copies on India
paper. It is not, strictly speaking, a bibliographical work.

DE BURY (Richardi). Phylobyblon, seu de Querimoniis Librorum omnibus Literarum Amatoribus. [_Sine ullâ notâ, sed Coloniæ._ MCCCCLXXXIII.]

First edition, very rare. An admirable translation of this
interesting volume was published some few years since by Mr. Rodd.
These early and rare books often contain much amusing matter and
considerable information, even at this our advanced state of
civilization. Those who come in from a walk on a cold winter's day
are here cautioned to use a kerchief ere they presume to look at a
rare book, and also to avoid having books opened during meals.

DIBDIN. The Bibliomania; or Book Madness; containing some account of the History, Symptoms, and Cure of this fatal Disease. In an epistle addressed to Richard Heber, Esq. By the Rev. Thomas Frognall Dibdin, F.S.A. 8vo, pp. iv, 87. _London: Longman._ 1809.

DIBDIN. Bibliomania; or Book Madness: A Bibliographical Romance, in Six Parts. Illustrated with Cuts. By the Rev. Thomas Frognall Dibdin. 8vo, pp. ix, (2), 782, (1). _London: Printed for the Author._ 1811.

Of this edition eighteen copies only were printed on large paper.

DIBDIN. Bibliomania; or Book-Madness; A Bibliographical Romance. Illustrated with Cuts. By Thomas Frognall Dibdin, D.D. New and Improved Edition ... including a Key to the assumed characters in the Drama. Medium 8vo. _London: H. G. Bohn._ MDCCCXLII.

This edition was undertaken by Mr. Walmsly. It contains a key
to the characters, etc., and a supplement, edited by Dr. Dibdin
himself. The copies on large paper, imp. 8vo, have titles-pages for
two volumes.

"The _Bibliomania_ is written in dialogues or conversations,
the characters introduced are well-known book collectors of the
author's acquaintance. The great value of the work is in the notes,
which abound with anecdotes of books and book collectors, and an
account of the rarer articles in their collections, and the prices
at which they were sold, extracted from the sale catalogues. It
will be always consulted as an authority."--LOWNDES.

"The _Bibliomania_ is evidently formed in the first instance on the
plan of honest Isaac Walton's _Complete Angler_; with conspicuous
marks of the author's being deeply versed in the _Battle of the
Books_, and a familiar acquaintance with old English literature,
and occasionally with the discussions of Yorick. Under the shape
of dramatic dialogue, the reader is equally entertained, and
instructed; the abstruser parts, with the historic details, being
thrown into the form of notes. It would now be useless to pass an
encomium on this work, as its merits are so fully established as
to have more than doubled the original price of a volume now with
difficulty to be obtained."--_Gent's. Magazine._

"You have contrived to strew flowers over a path which, in other
hands, would have proved a very dull one; and all Bibliomanes must
remember you long, as he who first united their antiquarian details
with good-humored raillery and cheerfulness."--SIR WALTER SCOTT TO
DR. DIBDIN.

DIBDIN. Book Rarities; or a Descriptive Catalogue of some of the most Curious, Rare, and Valuable Books of Early Date; Chiefly in the Collection of the Right Honourable George John Earl Spencer, K.G., &c., &c., &c. By the Rev. T. F. Dibdin. 8vo. _London: Printed by W. Bulmer & Co._ 1811.

Very rare; only thirty-six copies having been printed. Contains
descriptions of nineteen books then in the author's possession,
but which afterwards passed into the libraries of Heber and Earl
Spencer.

DIBDIN. Bibliography, a Poem, in Six Books. With Preface and Notes. 8vo. _London._ 1812.

Fifty copies were printed on large paper. "This catalogue contains
only the works printed in the fifteenth century and the Editiones
Principes. It is compiled with the greatest care and industry, and
those who have had occasion to consult its pages, can testify to
its accuracy and great utility. It is the finest private collection
in Europe; the catalogue will ever be regarded as of the first
importance to the theologian, the historian, and the critic, and as
a perfect model for the bibliographer."--LOWNDES.

DIBDIN. The Bibliographical Decameron; or, Ten Days Pleasant Discourse upon Illuminated Manuscripts, and Subjects connected with Early Engravings, Typography, and Bibliography. By the Rev. T. F. Dibdin. 3 vols., rl. 8vo. _London: Printed for the Author._ 1817.

Also on large paper, 3 vols., imp. 8vo. "This work may be
considered as a continuation of the _Bibliomania_, the same
characters being introduced in the dialogues. From the information
which it contains, and the splendor of the decorations and
printing, it will ever be considered as a model of excellence and
good taste in typography and the arts."

DIBDIN. Ædes Althorpianæ; or an Account of the Mansion, Books, and Pictures, at Althorp; the Residence of George John Earl Spencer, K.G. To which is added a Supplement to the Bibliotheca Spenceriana. By the Rev. Thomas Frognall Dibdin. 2 vols., imp. 8vo. _London: Payne and Foss._ 1822.

_See_ the author's _Reminiscences_, II. 557-94, for the interesting
account of the publication of this work, where it appears that
the cost of engraving the portraits was upwards of £2,000. It was
designed as a supplement to the _Bibliotheca Spenceriana_, and
contains accounts of the ancestors of Earl Spencer; of the Mansion
at Althorp; of the gallery, with engravings of the most important
pictures; and of editions of the Scriptures, Aldine editions, and
books printed in the fifteenth century, not contained in the former
volumes.

Also on large paper, 3 vols., imp. 8vo. "This work contains much
curious information respecting the MSS. and rare works in public
and private libraries abroad. It is printed and embellished in the
same style of excellence as the Doctor's other works."--LOWNDES.

"A work calculated to have as intoxicating an effect on the
imagination of literary antiquaries, as the adventures of the
heroes of the Round Table on all true knights, or the tales
of the early American voyagers on the ardent spirits of their
age. It has not passed, however, without some hostile (though
unfounded) remarks from the printers, binders, and librarians of
France."--WRANGHAM.

DIBDIN. A Bibliographical Antiquarian and Picturesque Tour in France and Germany. By the Reverend Thomas Frognall Dibdin, D.D. The Second Edition. 3 vols., 8vo, pp. (4), xliii, (2), 421, Portraits, Plates; (4), iv, 428; (4), iv, 481. _London: R. Jennings._ 1829.

This edition omits some of the plates contained in the first, but
has others which are not in that. It is esteemed for its preface,
28 pp., in which the author summarily disposes of Crapelet,
Licquet, and Lesné.

[DIBDIN.] Lettre Neuvième relative à la Bibliothèque de Rouen, traduite de l'Anglais, avec des Notes par T. Licquet, Conservateur de cette Bibliothèque. Rl. 8vo. _Paris._ 1821.

Only one hundred copies printed; the notes and preface, which
contain so much that is "silly" and "scurrilous," drew from Dr.
Dibdin the following reply, _A Roland for an Oliver_.

DIBDIN. A Roland for an Oliver; or, Brief Remarks upon the Preface and Notes of G. A. Crapelet, attached to his Translation of the Thirtieth Letter of the Bibliographical, Antiquarian, and Picturesque Tour. By the Author of that Town. Imp. 8vo. _London._ 1821.

Dibdin's works, only thirty-six copies were privately printed.

DIBDIN. [First Thoughts. Corrected Proof Sheets of the Tour in France and Germany.] Imp. 8vo.

It is very curious, consisting of a number of proof-sheets of the
Foreign Bibliographical Tour, with numerous alterations, remarks,

the published work varies considerably from these sheets.

Also on large paper, imp. 8vo. From an anecdote recorded at page
394 of this edition, concerning "certain buckskins," in the edition
of 1823, and which is omitted in the subsequent ones, that acquired
the title of the "Breeches Edition."

"It contains much curious and important bibliographical information
not elsewhere to be found, and will at all times be consulted,
as a work of reference, by the bibliographer, biographer, and
historian."--LOWNDES.

Also on large paper. One hundred copies only printed for "Those
whom it may concern." "Fear is the order of the day. To those
very natural and long established fears of Bailiffs and Tax
Gatherers, must now be added the fear of Reform, of Cholera, and of
Books."--page 6. Some copies have a Key to the names of the various
characters mentioned in the work.

Also on large paper, in 3 vols., imp. 8vo. In this work the author
concluded his tours. It it an essential companion to the tour in
France and Germany; and, as it describes some collections that have
ceased to exist, possesses an historical interest.

information especially respecting authors and books. Valuable for
French and Continental names generally, containing particulars not
elsewhere to be found.

One hundred copies printed on large paper. "The nicknacks of
literature collected in Mr. Disraeli's cabinet were selected from
sources not generally accessible to ordinary readers. These volumes
are not only admirably adapted to minister to the amusement of
the lounger and refined trifler, but they have higher capacities,
as curious and authentic pictures of the manners of ruder times,
and records of the progress of letters from their rise in the
dark middle ages, to almost the present era." There is a French
translation by T. P. Bertin, 2 vols., 8vo. _Paris._ 1810.

DISRAELI. The Illustrator [Bolton Corney] Illustrated. 8vo.

"An excellent and admirably arranged catalogue; the most
comprehensive of the kind ever printed."

[DUCAREL (_Dr._)] List of the various Editions of the Bible and parts thereof in English, from 1526 to 1776. 8vo. [n. p. n. d.]

This most rare tract was privately printed by Dr. Ducarel in 1776,
and contains many notices of editions not to be found in Dr.
Cotton's list. _See_ Cotton's Introduction, p. xi.

_Paris: Tilliard._ 1768. 10 vols., 12mo, is considered the best.

criticisms are given. There is also a list of works on Asia, under
different heads.

_infra_.

A few copies printed on large paper. Contains numerous engravings
from early MSS., facsimiles of types, bookbinding etc. This
important work was in preparation thirteen years. Neither France
nor Germany can boast of a work treating the subjects with a
similar comprehensiveness, and in England the work has certainly
had no predecessor. "Of the industry bestowed upon this extensive
compilation, and of the marvellous condensation of fact it
supplies, it is difficult to speak in terms of proper commendation;
even to the most accomplished bibliographer it cannot rail to be
of great service, but how much more so to the tyro, or ordinary
bibliographer."--BROWNSON'S _Review_.

Of this rare and valuable work Vol I. only was published. It
contains the most authentic notes on the literature and literary
men of Mexico, and became the basis of Beristain's celebrated
_Bibl. Hisp. Amer._, which appeared sixty years later. Eguiara was
one of the most talented members of the Academy of Mexico. "It is
unfortunate that no more of this important work was published. It
is probable that not many copies were printed of this volume, as
it is not often met with."--RICH, 1. 115. The remainder of the
manuscript was said to be preserved in the Library of the Cathedral
of Mexico. Leclerc's collation seems to differ from ours. "Ouvrage
curieux, mais dont il n'a paru que le premier volume."--BRUNET.

"This is not a joke, but a very serious publication, intended not
for sale, but to prime the wire-pullers at Washington to look out
and provide for the poor publishing houses of Boston, New York, and
Philadelphia. 'Human labor is the principal item in book-making,'
they say, and therefore they ask Congress to levy a duty of 25
cents a pound on English books, to protect them against the
efforts of the English authors, who are making America an English
colony by sending over at reasonable rates their own books for
sale."--STEVENS.
