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 of Facsimiles from Rare and Curious Books remarkable for Illustrative 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."

scientific periodicals published on the Continent (translated into
English), with an alphabetical list of the names of the authors,
and a most complete classified Index of Subjects, which much adds
to its value.

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.

By a Member of the said Society. 4to, pp. (2), xvi, iii, 275, (224). _London: J. Churchill._ 1713.

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.

books, it is none the less valuable as the only monograph of its
kind in English.

By Gerard Langbaine. 8vo. _Oxford._ 1691.

"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."

"The author of this work, probably the first which contains a
Catalogue of Books on America, afterwards took the surname of
Pinelo. The following enlarged edition by Barcia is so clumsily
thrown together that it is quite a relief to refer from it to this
neat and well-arranged little manual."--RICH.

"The most complete general Bibliography of Geographical Works,
Travels, Missionary Reports, etc. The second volume contains the
works relating to America, and its greatest value consists in the
notices it gives of the Spanish manuscripts on the subjects, most
of which are still existing in Spain."--RICH. See also Harrisse's

This very excellent catalogue was the joint labors of Messrs.

able manner in which they have performed so long and tedious a task.

A most valuable index to serial literature, discontinued from want
of public appreciation and support.

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.

Fifty-two copies printed--not for sale. This was reproduced with
additions as below:

LOWNDES. A Bibliographical Account of the Works of Shakespeare, including every known Edition, Translation, and Commentary. By Henry G. Bohn. Printed off separately from his enlarged edition of the Bibliographer's Manual, with some Additions. Sm. 4to, pp. (4), 2253-2368. _London._ 1868.

the Marquis of Bute, also that of Mr. James Lenox of New York. _See
also_ Sabin's _American Bibliopolist_, June, 1870.

Privately printed, and scarce. A Supplement was subsequently
printed in the _Literary World_, of which twenty-six copies only
were separately printed--that being the number of persons who had
the politeness to acknowledge the gift of the "Essay."

The extreme rarity of this great work, the highest authority upon
Portuguese bibliography, arises from the circumstance that a large
proportion of the first three volumes perished by fire at Lisbon in
1755. _See_ Petzholdt, p. 381.

MACKELDEY (F.) Compendium of Modern Civil Law, from the Twelfth German Edition. With a Bibliographical List of Books on the Civil Law. Vol. I. 8vo. _New York._ 1845.

Very scarce; a few copies only having been printed for presents.
The compiler was the keeper of the manuscripts and libraries of
the Archbishop of Canterbury, and thus had unusual facilities for
giving accurate descriptions of, and extracts from, the various
works.
